The father of the sword is Kong Jie

……

After the Battle of Northern Henan, as Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and others speculated, in the central areas of North China and behind enemy lines, the Japanese Army and the Eighth Route Army began to recuperate and recuperate.

Generally speaking, it has entered a stalemate, and no large-scale war has occurred for the time being.

Although the Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle in northern Henan, the battle in central Henan successfully completed the established strategic goals.

Successfully occupied the major cities in central Henan, and successfully followed the No. 1 combat plan to further open up the communication lines in central Henan in mainland China.

Unfortunately, the Japanese army did not complete the combat goal of completely destroying the Tang Keqin Group Army in central Henan.

According to the advice of the Eighth Route Army, Commander Tang led the main force of the group army to be stationed in northern Henan. Together with the Eighth Route Army, he selected a stable garrison area and cleared out a generation of Japanese and puppet troops around him. The Japanese troops faced each other from a distance.

As a result, although Commander Tang failed to fight well in the Yuzhong Huizhuan, he even became known as a runaway general. Even the principal was furious about this.

Fortunately, the effective strength of the troops in central Henan was preserved.

Even if the Japanese army occupied central Henan, it was impossible to completely eliminate their worries and continue to advance the operation with the restraint of Tang Keqin Group Army in northern Henan.

In addition, in the Battle of Northern Henan, Tang Keqin's group army also performed well, defeating the Japanese invaders and gaining a considerable reputation.

Therefore, the Chairman could only hold his nose and admit it when Commander Tang led his troops to avoid the war, directly abandon central Henan, and move to northern Henan.

Now the Eighth Route Army is completely powerful.

The Chairman looked at the dwindling talents around him. Even Commander Tang didn't have many subordinates left. So he was still willing to take a cruel blow?

As for the end of the Battle of Jindihe.

It is said that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Under the incentives provided by Commander Tang, when the final counterattack was launched, the soldiers of Tang Keqin's group army fought bravely to get the Japs' heads and get the rewards. They fought bravely and without any sharpness.

In the end, it was not just the soldiers of Tang Keqin's Army who made a lot of money.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers in southern Hebei, western Shandong, and northern Henan also drank soup and meat, and cooperated for a win-win situation, but they made a lot of money.

This is another aspect that shows Commander Tang's strong financial resources. He has made a lot of money in Henan in recent years.

When the battle came to an end, the Japanese troops were beaten and fled in disgrace.

The soldiers of Tang Keqin's group army pursued them all the way, unwilling to watch the piece of walking ocean slip away like this.

On the Eighth Route Army side, Commander Lu and the others are not stupid. They want to steal a few Japanese heads in exchange for some oceans. At most, they can make extra money.

Most of them are still on the battlefield!

Therefore, we have already told you that after the Japs are defeated, we will not fight for the heads with Chiang Kai-shek's friendly troops. We will first seize and seize all kinds of military supplies, all kinds of tanks, guns and ammunition that the Japs have no time to take away and destroy. , including aircraft resources that were scrapped when the Japanese crashed them, etc.

In short, the geese were plucking their feathers. After the Eighth Route Army soldiers passed by quickly, not even a bullet casing was left behind.

When an officer from Jiang Jun finally discovered the situation and hurriedly reported the situation to Commander Tang, Commander Tang came to question him.

The Eighth Route Army's transport troops and various trailers that had been prepared long ago had already towed away a large number of Japanese military resources and various armored vehicles captured on the battlefield, leaving no good or bad behind.

As soon as he opened his mouth:

"Brother Tang, you don't know that our Eighth Route Army has been very poor in recent years. We are not as wealthy and wealthy as your Central Army. We have our own military factories and our own economic industries. We have had one meal and one meal." , all relying on this little capture on the battlefield to live!

Brother, you will definitely look down on these three melons and two jujubes.

I simply made arrangements in advance and transported all the seized materials!

Brother, if you really want it, you should have said it earlier! If you had told me earlier, I would definitely leave some for you! "

These words were spoken very quickly, giving Commander Tang no chance to recover.

However, Commander Tang has lost his base camp in central Henan and is currently stationed in northern Henan for rest and recuperation. I am afraid that he will need the help of these Eighth Route Army local snakes to deal with the Japanese army.

Commander Tang could only say haha. He was a mute and couldn't tell how hard it was to eat Coptis chinensis, so he acquiesced to the matter.

Just like that, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army took away all the supplies seized on the battlefield under the slogan "We are poor but we are justified".

At a glance, the mighty team looked neat, uniformed, well-equipped, and had high morale. There were even many Eighth Route Army soldiers wearing leather shoes.

When bidding farewell, Commander Tang led his troops to see him off. Most of the soldiers in his army group were still wearing rag shoes, and some even wore straw sandals!

At this time, I don’t know which officer suddenly said: "Sir, have we been deceived? I saw that the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are much better than ours?"

Commander Tang: "..."

……

……

The entire battle in northern Henan went on very quickly, and the battle in central Henan didn't take long either.

At this time, on the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army entered a critical period in the Battle of Guiliu in order to implement the No. 1 combat plan and completely open up the mainland's communication lines.

The General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Led by the Deputy Chief of General Staff, a post-war military meeting was held at the headquarters at the Henan North Battle. Commanders of each military region and heads of each base area attended.

During the meeting, everyone summarized the combat experience of this Henan-Bei Conference Battle.

This battle, led by the Eighth Route Army, can be said to be the first truly major battle in the history of the Eighth Route Army's War of Resistance. It must be a highlight in the history of the Eighth Route Army's War of Resistance.

The joy of victory enveloped the entire meeting, and the soldiers were in high spirits.

The final topic returned to the evolution of the fighting situation between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army in the rear areas of North China, as well as the follow-up work direction and strategic policies of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army in North China, Central China, and South China, etc.

Speaking of the current situation.

The commanders smiled and said:

“After the disastrous defeat of the Japs in the Battle of Northern Henan, we followed the second phase of the battle plan and guerrilla forces from all over the country launched attacks one after another, specifically targeting the Japs’ transportation lines, including our New Fourth Army troops in Central and South China.

Didn’t the little devils come up with some kind of combat plan, hoping to completely open up our transportation lines in mainland China?

The little devils will attack theirs, and we will attack ours. We will destroy as many communication lines as they destroy.

During this period of time, the main mobile troops of the Japs have been running around in North China, Central China, and South China, filling the gaps in our defense line under our multi-party offensive.

The arrangement we have to make is to completely exhaust the mobile troops of these Japanese soldiers, and to completely wipe out the military confidence of the little Japanese soldiers.

Some time ago, the Japanese started with the Fourth Battle of Changsha, then the Battle of Central Henan, the Battle of Hengyang, and the current military victory in the Guiliu area. They are very proud of it!

If we don't kill him, what's the point of killing him? "

The Japanese army also had a big headache for this.

In the past, the Eighth Route Army had not developed. Its equipment was backward and ammunition was scarce. It could only survive in remote suburbs and wild areas. A few earth and stone artillery towers could form an absolute military blockade and completely blockade the Eighth Route Army within their base area. But now the Eighth Route Army has grown stronger, its equipment has been fully developed, and its combat effectiveness has been formed.

The Japanese army has continuously attacked cities and plundered territory over the years, resulting in an excessively large occupied area. In addition, multi-front operations in the Pacific Theater and Southeast Asian Theater have completely exposed the flaw in the insufficient strength of the Japanese defense forces.

Originally, the Japanese army used China to govern China and attracted a large number of puppet troops, who were basically just outsiders.

Seeing that the Japs are declining, how can there be anyone who is loyal to the Japs? It would be good if they didn't turn against each other. The little devils even had to be careful about the internal puppet troops revolting at any time anyway.

The originally small number of troops was becoming increasingly insufficient.

When the Eighth Route Army's offensive came down like a violent storm.

The Japanese army demolished the east wall to repair the west wall, not caring about the head and tail.

It's just full of loopholes.

The only ones they relied on were the various mobile units that the Japanese army used for rapid reinforcements, including Yamashita's mobile units and Inoue's armored units.

But the mobile troops coming out from all directions kept bringing bad news.

Either the friendly reinforcements were wiped out, or the mobile troops sent for reinforcements were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses.

Despair, fear, and war-weariness continued to spread among the Japanese and puppet troops.

...In the military meeting at the headquarters, when it came to how to completely destroy the Japanese mobile power in North China, Central China, and even South China.

In order to completely paralyze the Japanese army under the ocean-like offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

All the commanders were helpless.

As Commander Lu said: "After the Battle of Northern Henan, coupled with the constant losses of the Japs' mobile units over the years, although the Japs' mobility has been greatly reduced, there must still be many remaining mobile units.

Including the mobile troops and armored divisions that the Japanese invested in the Battle of Northern Henan, a large part of them managed to escape by virtue of their mobility advantages under our encirclement and suppression.

If these Japanese mobile units are not completely destroyed, they will pose a considerable threat to our base areas and our various troops. After all, they will be a hidden danger. "

"But how on earth are we going to gather the scattered mobile troops of the Japanese and destroy them in one fell swoop?"

This is a problem that troubles everyone.

The final result of everyone's discussion was: "It is definitely impossible to wait for the little devils to take the initiative to gather the remaining mobile troops together and stick their heads out for the Eighth Route Army to chop them down.

Maybe some kind of bait can be used to lure the Japanese mobile troops over in a concentrated manner, and then eliminate them in one fell swoop. "

"Is there really such a bait?" Captain Wang asked the key to the problem.

The conference room suddenly fell silent, and everyone was lost in thought.

Kong Jie, who had not spoken much until then, who was sitting in the corner of the conference room, suddenly spoke and broke the silence: "Well, maybe there is a bait!"

"Haha, Lao Kong, I know you have many bad ideas. Tell me, what can you do?" Leader Wang asked impatiently.

The eyes of all the generals gathered.

Kong Jie came to the huge military map hanging on the wall next to the conference room, and finally pointed his finger at the Jiaodong area in Shandong.

Commander Xu, the person in charge of the Jiaodong base area who also participated in the meeting, was a little dazed. "I said, Lao Kong, although the Japs have always wanted to destroy our Jiaodong base, the attractiveness of our Jiaodong base may not be enough to destroy all the mobile elites of the Japs." Attract it?"

Kong Jie suddenly smiled, so confidently.

He asked rhetorically: "Comrades, do you still remember the direct cause of the outbreak of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi War?"

As soon as these words came out, the generals were stunned for a moment, and then someone with quick thinking immediately said:

"To say that the direct trigger for the Japanese army's attack on the Zhejiang and Jiangxi regions must start with the bombing of Tokyo by Doolittle and his entourage.

The Japanese mainland was suddenly bombed, and the capital suffered the most. The United States used our frontline airports in Zhejiang and Jiangxi as a springboard to bomb the Japanese mainland.

The little devils were completely panicked. They were afraid that Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries would continue to use the airports in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region as a springboard to bomb Japan, so they then launched the Zhejiang-Ganxi Association with the purpose of destroying Chinese airports in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region..."

At this point, the voice stopped abruptly.

Then he said in disbelief: "Taking into account that our Jiaodong area also has a secretly built forward departure airport, and if we really talk about it, our Jiaodong area is probably closer to the Japanese's home route.

I said, Lao Kong, are you so bold as to imitate Doolittle and the others in bombing Japan? "

Ha ha ha ha--

Amidst the shock of the generals, Kong Jie laughed and said: "This is strange. When did bombing little Japan become a patent? Why, what Lao Du and the others can do, our Eighth Route Army can't do it?

What's more, Lao Du and the others are still staying in our base! "

The next words were even more domineering:

"We can just blow up this little Japan!"

As soon as the words fell, the conference room exploded. Even the deputy chief of staff and deputy commander looked at Kong Jie with a smile on their faces after they recovered.

Hengdao immediately stood up, and the deputy commander, who had never known what fear was, signaled:

"Kong Jie, tell me what you think."

"Yes!"

Kong Jie responded and said: "Comrades, think about it, the little devils have used the advantage of the air force to bomb our mainland China countless times in recent years, causing the death of a large number of innocent people and the loss of property.

This hatred is engraved in our bones, and we will never forget it.

Now that we have a chance to take revenge, why should we be polite to Little Japan?

We have airplanes, everything from daytime operations to night operations, and we have no shortage of corresponding excellent pilots. We even have old men like Lao Du who bombed Tokyo as guides.

When I proposed bombing Little Japan, even the big guys were so surprised. Can we also think about it from another angle, if we launch a secret air attack plan on Japan.

The Japanese army was also unexpected and caught off guard?

Once the bombing operation is successful, it will definitely be of great help to the morale of our three armed forces in resisting Japan and to the image of our Eighth Route Army as a strong military on the international stage.

The little devil then learned that we were using the front exit airport on the Jiaodong Peninsula as a springboard to bomb his homeland. Comrades, think about it, will they go crazy and send out mobile elites to attack Jiaodong as quickly as possible? Woolen cloth?

In this case, does it become a bait? Can we set a trap in the Jiaodong area in advance? How about catching all the elite Japs who gathered here? "

For a moment, the entire conference room could hear a pin drop.

Only Kong Jie's voice echoed in the room.

All the old comrades had only one thought in their hearts: "What a shocking bombing plan, this is so damn crazy!"
