The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 954

Let me talk about the conclusion first:

According to the original wishful thinking of the Japanese army, the Japanese field army, mainly composed of the third mixed brigade, sealed off the 385th brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the 385th brigade base area.

Next, divide the battlefield into two parts.

Part of it is to use the Huangyadong area to encircle and fight aid.

Taking the attack on the Huangyadong Eighth Route Army Arsenal as a guide, lure the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army to reinforce in the direction of Huangyadong, and then let the elite troops of the third, ninth, and No.16 mixed brigades along the way to ambush, as well as the detours to Huangyadong More than 36 elites from the 6000th Division were engaged in aid operations.

Eliminate the Eighth Route Army troops who came to reinforce.

The other part is to deal with the Eighth Route Army troops of the 386th Brigade.

In particular, the winter offensive occupied a considerable area of ​​the quasi-security area of ​​the Japanese army, and even the Iron Triangle Force of the Eighth Route Army in the security area.

The mobile troops stationed in Mongolia took the lead in going south to raid the Eighth Route Army troops of the Iron Triangle.

When the two sides were fighting, the Japanese and puppet troops of the third, ninth, and No.385 mixed brigades that had originally advanced to the base of the 16th brigade would simultaneously mobilize part of their troops to go north.

Two Japanese troops attacked the 386th Brigade from the north to the south.

In one fell swoop, the 386 brigade and the confidant of the Japanese army - the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army were completely wiped out.

This is the battle plan that the little devil made to deal with the new first regiment, the new second regiment, and the first team.

How is the result?

The Mongolian Army arrived, and seeing the Eighth Route Army retreating on its own initiative, in a state of arrogance, they foolishly occupied the strongholds and villages that had been planted by the Eighth Route Army with landmine traps.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese and puppet troops headed by the Mongolian Army, which advanced to the hinterland of the Iron Triangle base, soon fell into a trap.

When they finally struggled out, the Japanese army had already fallen from the original initiative to the passive in the battle situation between the two sides.

Knowing that the vanguard troops were not effective in fighting, the follow-up main force of the Mongolian army going south did not dare to delay, and rushed to the defense area of ​​the Iron Triangle without stopping, and the two sides began a large-scale confrontation.

Each has casualties.

Although the little devils stationed in the Manchurian army are well-equipped, they are numerous and powerful.

But the defense system in the Iron Triangle defense zone has already been built.

The soldiers dealt with the Japanese army by taking advantage of the intricate topography of the entire defense zone.

The battle between the two sides was temporarily stalemate.

It is impossible for the little devils stationed in Mongolia to penetrate the Iron Triangle base quickly.

It is not easy for the combat troops of the Audio-Technica to eat up the main force of the Mongolian Army stationed in the south in a short period of time.

This time, they went south to reinforce the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia in the First Army in Shanxi.

Mainly the 26th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in the Datong area, and some elites were transferred.

The 26th Division of the Japanese Army belongs to the elite main force of the Japanese "Kwantung Army".

It was expanded from an independent mixed brigade in Datong on September 1937, 9.

The division is mainly responsible for the security tasks from Zhangjiakou to Datong, as well as the areas to the west and south.

In addition, according to the situation on the battlefield, temporary reinforcements will be sent to Jizhong and Taihang base areas.

The organization of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army after the expansion is slightly different from that of the regular division of the First Army stationed in Shanxi.

The main infantry elite under its command is composed of three infantry regiments, namely the 11th, 12th, and 13th infantry regiments.

Compared with the regular infantry division of the First Army, there seems to be one wing missing.

But the infantry wing of the 26th Division is larger in scale.

Take the elite units of the 36th Wing of the 11th Division of the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Division who went south to reinforce the First Army as an example.

The 11th Infantry Regiment has three infantry brigades.

And each infantry brigade has four infantry squadrons under its jurisdiction, plus a machine gun squadron.

In this way, the elite of the 26th Infantry Regiment of the 11th Division has nearly 5000 troops.

It is much larger than the regular full-staffed infantry wing of the First Army with only about 3800 people.

In addition, two cavalry regiments rushed south from Baotou.

There are about 8000 field elites stationed in the south of the Mongolian Army for reinforcements.

Even for the Japanese army, this is a very powerful reinforcement force.

The 8000 elite Japanese army, if it had been two years earlier, could even have set off an unprecedented large-scale raid in the entire Taihang area.

In the temporary headquarters of the 11th Regiment of the Mongolian Army.

Kawagu Ichiro, the leader of the Guizi Alliance, originally thought that if he assisted the First Army to go south quickly this time and surprise the Tuba Road in the Taihang area, he would surely catch the Eighth Route Army by surprise.

Fortunately, before the main force arrived, the vanguard was already frustrated, and there was an urgent call for help.

After the two parties communicated, Ichiro Kawatani wanted to know the specific situation of the frontline operations.

As a result, Chuan Gu was a little overwhelmed by the communication news he learned.

"It's chaotic, it's completely chaotic, there are wars everywhere, and everywhere seems to be the main fighting force of the Eighth Route Army.

They are like shadows, they may appear in any place at any time, and then catch you by surprise! "

The battle area is a bit scattered, not just one place at all.

The outer lines of the entire Audio-Technica base area, including some quasi-security areas and security areas of the Japanese army, seemed to be in one piece.

I heard that it was not only the Eighth Route Army troops that participated in the battle.

Some units of the Jinsui Army, including some bandits, ran down the mountain to join in the fun.

After understanding the situation, Kawashima Ichiro was furious. This time he led the 11th Regiment to the south to reinforce the First Army, and he must play the prestige of the Mongolian Army.

How can we stop because of the little difficulty in front of us?
No matter how cunning he is, he is nothing more than a chicken and a dog in the face of absolute force.

After making up his mind, Kawatani Ichiro directly ordered the whole army to speed up and advance towards the Eighth Route Army's Iron Triangle defense area.

……

But he said what the Japanese army had detected.

In addition to the Eighth Route Army, and even the Jinsui Army, the national army in some places, including some bandits, are participating in the battle.

This is how it happened?
It turned out not long ago.

When the battle situation inside and outside Huangya Cave, the battle situation of the 385 brigade base, and the battle situation of the 386 brigade were completely heated.

The battle between the Eighth Route Army troops, mainly the 129st Army stationed in Shanxi and the [-]th Division in the Taihang base area, soon became intense.

All the propaganda departments of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountain area were fully operational and issued a broadcast to the outside world, "To the compatriots of the whole country, to defend the base area to the death, and to fight the Japanese invaders to the end to defend the country!"

The propaganda department of the Eighth Route Army carried out propaganda through various methods.

The long-wave radio stations have been continuously operating and transmitting these radio signals for dozens of hours.

In addition to the propagation of radio equipment.

In the vast bases of the Eighth Route Army, in the quasi-security areas of the Japanese army, including the security areas of the devils, there were a large number of propaganda papers, which spread rapidly in various areas like heavenly maidens scattered flowers.

The little devil couldn't understand how the Eighth Route Army managed to do this.

Even in their most tightly guarded security zone, there may be ordinary people who are obviously ordinary people, grabbing a handful of promotional papers, sneaking cats casually in the alley, and then quickly disappearing.

The surrounding crowd randomly picked up the paper and looked at it, and immediately knew the anti-Japanese propaganda made by the Eighth Route Army.

The headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi in Taiyuan City was gone.

Devil commander Shinozuka Yoshio looked at the anti-Japanese propaganda issued by the Eighth Route Army in his hand.

The contents of these damn Tuba Road's promotions are not only in Chinese, but also in Japanese.

Among them, the rhetoric is fierce, inciting, and the words and sentences are very concise and expressive. It vividly expresses the sense of the same enemy that the Eighth Route Army swore to defend the country and called on the people and various anti-Japanese armed forces to support the Eighth Route Army in all forms of resistance.

In this way, it's like what's going on?
Yoshio Shinozuka had originally planned to sneak attack the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang base area and destroy the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong arsenal by using some insidious means.

As a result, these damned Tubalu directly raised the battle between the two sides to a very exaggerated situation through this kind of propaganda.

Originally, it was only a battle against the Eighth Route Army troops in your Taihang base area.

After the propaganda of your Eighth Route Army.

On the contrary, it seems to have become a crucial battle to determine the fate of China and Japan.

It also called on all the people and anti-Japanese armed forces in the base areas, including the Japanese-occupied areas, to reinforce the Eighth Route Army in all forms to fight against the Japanese army.

This is all about making petty trouble known to the whole country.

"These damned bastards, what are they trying to do?"

Shinozuka Yoshio was a little depressed, and said with anger.

The Chief of Staff Bei Chuan sighed helplessly:

"General, the matter has developed to this point. Our original plan to target the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal has reached a new level.

According to the desperate propaganda of the Eighth Route Army.

Not only in Shanxi, but I am afraid that the entire North China, even the entire Sino-Japanese battlefield, and even the international attention may be attracted to this battle! "

On this point, Bei Chuan's guess is indeed good.

Balu's propaganda methods far exceeded his cognition.

In addition to the propaganda within the base area, in addition to the propaganda in the devil's security area, including the Kuomintang-controlled area, there is also propaganda in the Jinsui District.

Not only that, a team also used special means to contact various businessmen, including those from the Soviet Union, as well as those arms dealers in the United States led by John, and asked them to spread the propaganda news as well.

Even spread it back to the country, and some domestic newspapers are invited to report it.

It is almost predictable that the attention of all countries in the world will be focused on this battle.

And this can be said to accomplish multiple goals with one stroke...

"Let's make a fuss, make a fuss, the bigger the fuss, the better, don't make a big scene, who will we show our Eighth Route Army to win such a big victory this time?"

"The ancients said it well, those who have gained the Tao will be helped a lot, but those who have lost the Way will be helped little.

Let's defend our country and fight against foreign humiliation. This is a just war, if we can still show momentum.

There will definitely be more and more international forces supporting China's war of resistance, and there will be more and more international friends and overseas Chinese who are willing to lend a helping hand to our Eighth Route Army troops.

In addition, if the international attention is all gathered, if the Jiang Jun and the Jinsui Army have been standing by, I am afraid that it will not be justified on the surface.

Maybe we can use this to attract foreign aid!
This is definitely a profitable business! "

Not long ago, when Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and others talked about the propaganda offensive after the war, Kong Jie expressed his opinion.

"The rich contribute money, the powerful contribute, our Eighth Route Army vows to fight the Japanese invaders to the end and defend the country.

Through these methods, we can allow all the people and the anti-Japanese armed forces of all parties to participate in the battle, and at least give them a sense of participation.

In this way, we won the battle, which is a great encouragement to the people.

This victorious war is not only a victory for our Eighth Route Army, but also a victory for our compatriots.

The common people will also realize more clearly what is a genuine anti-Japanese team.

Which team is the team that will shed the last drop of blood for the fate of the motherland and for this magnificent mountain and river.

Maybe after this publicity.

Those who wait and see have to squeeze their heads to join our Eighth Route Army!
They should understand the truth that an army like our Eighth Route Army for the country and the people is the future of our China! "

"So, we either don't make trouble, and if we want to make trouble, we make him big, or we don't fight, and if we want to fight, we go to Shanxi Northwest!"

……

When analyzing this matter, Shinozuka Yoshio became even more troubled:

"In this case, the international situation is not favorable to our empire.

All the focus has come together, and the final outcome of this battle against the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base is becoming more and more important.

If this battle is won, regardless of the international situation, our Empire of Japan will eventually take the initiative.

But if this battle fails, not to mention the loss of the majesty of our first army, it will definitely lead to the image of our empire as a strong man in this war plummeting. "

In the end, Shinozuka Yoshio's words were firm:
"Therefore, in this battle, only victory is allowed! No defeat is allowed!"

……

……

After Ichiro Kawatani finally brought the main force of the 11th Regiment into the defense zone of the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army, he directly ordered the troops to fight hard and join the vanguard.

With the arrival of the main force of the 11th Wing of the Mongolian Army.

The Eighth Route Army, which was fighting the vanguard of the 11th Wing and the Japanese and puppet troops of the Public Security Army, was indeed under a sharp increase in pressure.

Fortunately, relying on the solid defense foundation that Audio-Technica has been operating for more than two years.

Even with the help of mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare, and ambush warfare, it is enough to contain the main force of the southward movement of the Mongolian army and delay the time.

Then quietly wait for the implementation of the follow-up combat plan of the general headquarters.

Ding Wei, who sits in the temporary joint headquarters, is not in a hurry about this.

Sit tight on the Diaoyutai!

Ding Wei was not in a hurry, but the little devil was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

As a result, the troops stationed in Mongolia went south to reinforce the First Army, and it was only a short-term reinforcement to deal with the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang base area.

In order to ensure the safety of the Datong generation, it is impossible for the 11th Wing to leave the 26th Division for a long time and fight in the Taihang Mountains.

Second, the Eighth Route Army fought in the base area, which could be attacked or defended, and had solid logistical support at any time.

After all, this is their territory.

But the Japanese army can't do it. For such a large-scale operation, the daily supply of troops is very stressful for logistics.

Coupled with the separation from the stable security zone of the Japanese army, the transportation line for the front-line combat troops to ensure logistics was stretched very long.

The Eighth Route Army was very cunning and attacked everywhere.

These long and fragile transportation lines of the Japanese army naturally became the favorite target of the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack.

In a series of raids, the Japanese army could not guarantee effective logistical supplies at all.

This means that even with the combination of the Shanxi First Army and the Mongolian Army this time, the timing of this premeditated attack by the Japanese army cannot last too long.

Must be quick.

This has always been the shortcoming of the Japanese army's attack on the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.
