The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Ding Wei's plan was a blockbuster.

The leaders of the troops in northern Hebei and southern Hebei stopped talking after seeing the plan and were thinking about the feasibility.

At this time, Lao Du expressed hesitation: "Is this... possible? It's such a long distance, we don't have many mechanized vehicles, and there are a large number of Japanese strongholds and mobile troops along the way. The Japanese also got some armored vehicles on the railway line. blockhouse.

Once an uncontrollable accident occurs midway, it may be difficult to carry out the planned actions. "

Ding Wei smiled and asked everyone to look down the hillside.

The open space at the foot of the hillside was brightly lit. It was exactly eight o'clock in the evening, and the roar of transport planes was heard in the sky. Soon the transport plane formation began to airdrop batches of supplies to the landing site.

Ding Wei explained on the side: "I applied to the Air Force Command to carry out front-line airdrop supplies for our mechanized troops. There will be logistical support when the troops are interspersed. Moreover, I plan to take the railway line, load all the supplies and vehicles, and walk along the railway. .

The Japanese came along the railway, so I followed the railway and uprooted them.

Let's look at the armored troop campsite on the other side. Is my armored troop different from Lao Kong's quick reaction troop? "

Everyone took a closer look. Yes, tanks, armored vehicles, assault guns, and self-propelled artillery are all different.

Ding Wei said proudly: "This batch of tanks is an improved version of the American Stuart tanks. According to our requirements, they have been improved and equipped with a higher-power diesel engine. The front armor has been strengthened to 70 mm sloped armor, and the turret has been enlarged and replaced with a larger one." Equipped with our newly developed 47mm combat anti-cannon, coupled with an auxiliary fuel tank, the protection, firepower, and mobility are all improved.

Compared with the Japanese 95 light combat, it is an all-round improvement. It can drive at a highway speed of 65 kilometers per hour. It is equipped with additional armor and can even face the Japanese 97 modifications head-on.

This batch of tanks is for trial use, and if the results are good, the United States is willing to sell the production line. "

Ding Wei continued to introduce the modified tank in front of him.

“这是美制m3通用地盘改的自行107，120，160迫击炮车；这些是m3通用地盘改的75毫米自行走榴弹炮车，还有鬼子99式山炮基础上改进的试制105毫米自行走榴弹炮车，射程更远，还有缴获鬼子38式150毫米榴弹炮改的自行走榴弹炮车。

This is an improved version of the American M8 armored vehicle with enhanced protection and a closed body; this is the M3 assault gun modified on a universal site. There is a Soviet-made 85 anti-aircraft gun version for tank use, and a Japanese-made 120mm howitzer infantry support version. These are the latest armored force equipment.

In addition to that, we have air fire support

This time, we used mobile concentration to fight dispersion, which was to quickly intersperse.

Let's drive along the Japs' railway line and traffic line. As long as we go fast enough, the Japs won't have time to take precautions. "

Ding Wei is full of confidence in this, "My mobile artillery regiment is a Japanese Type 90 field artillery regiment, a Japanese Type 94 mountain artillery regiment, and a Japanese Type 96 150 howitzer howitzer regiment.

Because the newly arrived Soviet-made artillery and American-made artillery are all equipped with Datong, the direction is Zhangjiakou, otherwise our artillery firepower will be stronger.

The headquarters has also strengthened a Type 92 cannon battalion. Soon our heavy artillery will be finalized and mass-produced, and there will be more and more artillery. "

“Although our Eighth Route Army did not have a tank production line before, it recently introduced the Soviet tank production line and developed new tanks based on the Japanese’s 97 Chinese War.

It absorbs the technology of the M3 general chassis and the 97 medium combat chassis, improves the armor layout and uses welding technology, improves the turret, replaces the running gear with button bar suspension with large-diameter road wheels, replaces the high-horsepower Soviet-made diesel engine, and installs the Soviet-made 85 mm tank gun, maybe at the end of this autumn offensive, the Japanese will be able to see our new tanks. "

With this batch of artillery equipment, coupled with mechanical transport troops, including aerial firepower reinforcements.

The generals no longer had any doubts and all agreed with Ding Wei's plan.

The final actual results once again proved Ding Wei's superior strategy and long-term vision.

The operation unfolded very smoothly as planned.

In the first battle, mechanized troops were sent to symbolically pursue PY's retreating Japanese cavalry [-]th Brigade, and successfully intercepted some trucks and supplies. After pretending to attack the outskirts of Xinxiang, Lao Yang's camouflaged troops were left behind.

After bidding farewell to Lao Yang's troops, the mobile troops immediately launched an attack on Jining. The Japanese garrison did not have many people and were quickly eliminated.

Lao Pi's main force attacked Lincheng with the help of old-fashioned tank troops.

The Japanese thought that the so-called rapid force of the Eighth Route Army had appeared again. The Twelfth Army immediately sent Jinan's armored regiment to join the 59th and 52nd division mobile forces and quickly pursued Lincheng. They also dispatched the Jinan and Qingdao air forces.

As a result, he was ambushed on a section of road 30 kilometers north of Lincheng.

The flying team covered by the Japanese was attacked by the Eighth Route Army aviation unit and was unable to reverse the situation.

Then a large number of Eighth Route Army dive bombers and light bombers appeared, blowing the Japanese marching columns into pieces, and then the armored troops split up the Japanese mobile troops under the cover of artillery.

In the end, Lao Pi, Lao Du, and Ding Wei's main attack directly defeated the main force of the Japs, and soldiers captured prisoners all over the mountains and plains.

He was so angry that when he received the battle report at noon, Commander Anda 23 of the Twelfth Army cursed: “A mobile force consisting of three infantry regiments, a mechanized artillery regiment, and an armored regiment marched along the railway line.

Why was he ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in broad daylight?
In just one morning of fighting, an army of more than 1 people collapsed. Even more than 1 pigs, the Eighth Route Army couldn't capture them all in one day, right? "

In fact, the Japanese major general commander who led the team also couldn't figure it out.

The troops were marching under the cover of two aviation corps in broad daylight, but they were unexpectedly ambushed by the concentrated forces of the Eighth Route Army. The troops basically did not guard the two wings in particular, and just marched straight towards Lincheng.

When they entered the ambush area and were bombarded, they still thought of contacting the air force immediately to cooperate and prepare for a counterattack. As a result, the reinforcing air force was directly dispersed.

Then the Eighth Route Army's dive bombers and light bombers dropped their bombs, and the troops directly bombed the camp. Losing unified command, they fled to both sides of the railway, leaving the military columns on the railway in place.

The armored forces were hit hard before they were deployed, causing heavy losses and blocking the road. The automobile convoys and mechanized artillery units were attacked by the infantry escaping from the air raids and were in chaos.

The Japanese Major General sat slumped in the train control room, watching blankly as his mobile troops were divided, surrounded and disintegrated in a very short period of time by the joint attack of the Eighth Route Army's armored soldiers, cavalry, and infantry.

It wasn't until the Lunan Railway guerrillas came to take over the train and prepare to drive to Lincheng that they saw a few Japs in the control room, which was incredible.

The person leading the charge seemed to be the major general. The translator said he wanted to see the supreme commander of the Eighth Route Army. He expressed dissatisfaction!

Not to die!

——The light artillery of his army was still on the tractor, the 97 modified tanks, the heavy artillery was still on the train, and the troops were still marching. The Eighth Route Army first launched a large-scale air attack, then artillery fire, and finally the tanks cooperated with the cavalry and the infantry attacked, allowing His troops were completely disorganized and unable to organize effective resistance.

"Such a despicable style of fighting undermines the majesty of your Eighth Route Army as soldiers. If you have the ability, just compete with us head-on!"

This move, don't talk about the Japanese.

The main commanders of the troops in the Huxi base area who were watching the battle from the former enemy headquarters were also a little dumbfounded.

Could it be that these little devils were defeated so miserably that their heads were burned out?

Soldiers are deceitful, how can I talk to you about fairness?

Ding Wei commanded the air force to first raid the Japanese fighter escort formation, then dive bombers dropped bombs, mosquito bombers dropped bombs at low altitude, and ground attack aircraft rocket teams cleared the ground.After another communication commanded the heavy artillery unit to cease fire, the mountain artillery unit advanced a little, mounted on the shoulders of the commandos, and aimed at the Japanese bombers.

Then he told Lao Pi, who was following the armored assault: Don't attack too fast, be careful to cover the infantry, and wait until all the Japanese are in chaos, then send the armored vehicles and cavalry units out to kill them.

Commander Chen was very happy to watch the Japanese being beaten and running away at the headquarters, cheering as he watched.

"If the bombing is good, the situation will change, and the Japanese will also have a taste of being bombed!"

The troops in the Huxi base area were even more excited.

Originally, they said that the troops would gather next to the railway line and not arrange combat missions. Especially when they saw the Japanese Air Force, they were afraid of being discovered by the Japanese!
As a result, watching this thrilling ambush battle was like watching a fight between gods.

"Is this also a battle fought by our Eighth Route Army?"

When they finally participated in cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers went to visit Ding Wei's troops one after another and touched their bulletproof vests, tanks, and armored vehicles. They were so happy that they couldn't find the north.

The Eighth Route Army fighter jets, which successfully drove away the Japanese Air Force, watched the large forces below begin to clean up the battlefield. They deliberately lowered their altitude and flew over to accept the cheers of their brother troops.

The successful victory made the morale of the soldiers even higher.

……

After the ambush battle, Lincheng followed suit.

Ding Wei then assisted the troops in the Huxi base area to reorganize, and the troops continued to advance toward Zaozhuang along the railway line under the cover of the air force.

This is the first unit to report victory to the headquarters.

The rapid progress shocked all parties.

Ding Wei also reported the plan to attack Xuzhou to the deputy commander-in-chief.

The deputy commander felt incredible when he heard this.

Back then, around Xuzhou, hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Japanese troops fought fiercely. Now that the Japs have insufficient troops, can our mobile troops of a few regiments be able to raid the empty Japanese rear?
It seems that the Japanese have taken too big a step, which is ridiculous. I didn't expect that because of a mobile force, there would be such a big hole in the defense line.

The Japanese did not expect that after the Eighth Route Army mobile troops broke through Lincheng, Tengxian and Zaozhuang, shouldn't they go to Yixian later?

Why did you suddenly go to Xuzhou?

They did not specifically notify the Thirteenth Army to be on alert at all.

Ding Wei immediately commanded a new regiment of racing teams to attack the traitor Liu Hei Qibu in Yixian County, successfully attracting the attention of the defenders in Zaozhuang, Tengxian and Yixian areas.

The Japanese mobile forces in these places were dispatched one after another in an attempt to wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Lunan base area in one fell swoop. As a result, Ding Wei's main force broke through Lincheng and directly outflanked their retreat.

These devils never dreamed that this was a trap.

When the main force of the Lunan and Huxi base areas, as well as Ding Wei's mobile troops, rushed towards Xuzhou and hit the outside of Xuzhou city, it was like piercing the sky, and all the Japanese in China were alerted.

Just when the Japanese thought that the Eighth Route Army would stay in Xuzhou for a few days to expand their victory, they were preparing to mobilize heavy troops for encirclement and suppression.

Ding Wei suddenly appeared in LY again, and the Japanese began to become chaotic.

The Eighth Route Army troops, which are already good at various mobile warfare and intermittent operations, have exerted amazing combat effects in the fields they are good at after having sufficient organized mobile units.

At this time, Li Yunlong's troops took the opportunity to take action, and the Japanese army became even more chaotic.

Li Yunlong's unit is the most mechanized unit in the Eighth Route Army, with the most air support, the most mobile artillery, and the most armored units.

Once they broke through the Lubei defense line, they headed straight for Weixian.

After the Japanese found out, they immediately mobilized troops to encircle and suppress Li Yunlong. As a result, Li Yunlong suddenly turned around and took advantage of his maneuverability to turn back and sneak attack ZB. After the sneak attack on ZB was successful, the troops immediately detoured to Anqiu, preparing to join Ding Wei's troops from LY heading north.

When the Japanese army mobilized mobile troops to pursue, Li Yunlong, who did not follow the routine at all, wanted to take his mobile troops to turn back and attack Gaomi, and then feint to Qingdao after succeeding.

When the Japanese continued their pursuit, Li Yunlong suddenly turned back to Weixian.

Anyway, with the help of the four wheels of the mechanized combat vehicle, the two-legged little devil was led to run around.

Now the Japanese were exhausted from the torment and had to continue to pursue and intercept them.

At this time, Kong Jie, who was strategizing in the rear area, seized the opportunity and ordered the main force to go to Weixian to capture the Japanese mobile forces.

Now the Shandong war situation has completely opened up.

In fact, Li Yunlong ran to Southeast Hebei early to join up with the troops he left behind during last winter's offensive. With the help of Lao Xu, they conducted a detailed reconnaissance of terrain and road information in the Jiaodong area.

Li Yunlong thought about it for a long time and thought, we can make some big news by ourselves without relying on him, Lao Kong.

He wants to make a fool of the Japanese 59th Division Headquarters in Jinan, the Sixth Mixed Brigade in Zhangdian, and the Fifth Mixed Brigade in Rizhao.

Li Yunlong said at the pre-war meeting: “The Japs are still in the Jiaodong area, so this area still belongs to the Japs, but after we kill the Japs, this area belongs to our Eighth Route Army.

Don't worry so much about the battle, just go straight to the Japanese and kill them. We can move the businesses and materials here as we want. "

Li Yunlong just wanted to destroy the Japs' mobile troops. The Japs in the Huaihe River area were marching north. That was a gift to Lao Ding. Regardless of what he did in Xuzhou, Lao Ding probably let others move around under his banner. The main force He must have been ambush between LY and Rizhao for a long time.

The deal was done, and he, Old Ding, paid for the Rizhao, and everything in the port became cheaper for him.

And Lao Kong, this guy asked us to run around in the front, and when I gathered the Japanese mobile troops, I would drain the firepower from the bottom of the cauldron and finish the work in one fell swoop.

By the way, we can recover Wei County and show our face internationally.

——John flew over with a mission to find Kong Jie. He brought [-] American airborne troops and [-] British airborne troops, and made it clear to the Eighth Route Army headquarters that these Allied soldiers would be sent when the Weixian concentration camp was liberated. Go up there and shoot a documentary about the whole place.

After the event is completed, all Allied newspapers will publish publicity to boost morale.

As long as Li Yunlong seizes the opportunity well, he might really become a world-class general in one fell swoop.

Such an honor is a fatal temptation for a warrior like Li Yunlong who fights on the battlefield, so much so that every time he thinks about it, Old Li's breathing becomes hot.
