The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 979 The Japanese invaders who were defeated everywhere......

Garrison Command.

The devil commander also panicked now, he was afraid that the worst scenario he expected would happen, and he was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would join forces with the 35th Route Army.

Taking advantage of the shortage of troops stationed in Mongolia, he was going south to reinforce the First Army, so he directly sent his troops south to penetrate the defense line set up by the Japanese army.

It would be troublesome to attack the past in one fell swoop and interfere with the confrontation between the First Army and the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang area.

Faced with the irregular and various attacks of the Eighth Route Army troops in northern Shanxi, the Mongolian Army had no choice but to continuously deploy troops from the base camps in Baotou and Datong to assist the security forces in their defense.

……

Inside the Hetao Command of the Eighth Theater of the National Revolutionary Army.

The 120th Brigade of the 358th Division of the Eighth Route Army almost wiped out the elite Suzuki Regiment of the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia after several hours of fierce fighting in the Xiaonanzhuang area.

And defeated the West Field Regiment stationed in Baode County, occupying Baode in an all-round way.

After the news came.

The chiefs of the Eighth War Zone headed by Fu Yisheng were all taken aback.

The ground-breaking battle of the Eighth Route Army exceeded everyone's expectations.

As for Fu Yisheng, he took out the letter written to him by the commander of the 120th division again, and pondered over it again and again.

Originally, according to the meaning of the 120th Division, I hope that the 35th Route Army can take the opportunity to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to contain the Mongolian Army.

I thought everything was for the confrontation between the Devil's First Army and the Taihang Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area.

But now it seems that the movement of the Eighth Route Army in the Northwest Military Region is getting bigger and bigger.

"What exactly are Lao He and the others trying to do?"

Fu Yisheng pondered for a long time, but in the end he couldn't figure out the intention of the Eighth Route Army.

However, this does not prevent the chicken-stealing master from realizing that perhaps the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the opportunity will appear soon.

He immediately ordered, convened the main generals of the three armies, and then arranged all the troops in the meeting to be alert to the movements of the Japanese army at any time.

Fu Yisheng finally summed up the core of the meeting in one sentence:

"The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army are confronting each other. We must have an opportunity. As long as we seize the opportunity, don't miss it. Maybe our biggest opportunity is coming soon!"

Just like that, the little devil got more and more headaches, while he was wary of the troops of the Northern Shanxi Eighth Route Army that seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, at the same time, he only felt that his back was cold.

Fu Yisheng, a chicken-stealing expert, can't tell when he will suddenly jump out and show his mouth.

……

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan City, is not looking good at the moment.

News has come that the Eighth Route Army captured Baode in one fell swoop, almost wiped out the Suzuki Regiment, and directly defeated the Xiye Regiment.

And just when the Japanese army was vigorously promoting the battle against the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area, and the battle against the Eighth Route Army Arsenal in Huangyadong, it was just about to break through.

The result is such a slap in the face.

Regarding the battle in northern Shanxi, the Suzuki unit was almost wiped out, and the old devil Suzuki was captured alive, held a public trial, and executed.

The Eighth Route Army did a lot of propaganda, and the newspapers were also distributed to the streets and alleys of the Japanese-occupied areas in northern Shanxi and around Taihang.

It was only at this moment that the little devils realized that their so-called occupied area had already been infiltrated by the Eighth Route Army and was riddled with holes.

The news deliberately propagated by the damn Eighth Route Army made it impossible for them to stop it, and it quickly spread in the occupied area.

It was captured keenly by the international war correspondents involved.

Regarding the so-called false propaganda of the Japanese army before, the absolute advantage against the Eighth Route Army seems to be self-defeating, and the little devil loses all face.

But in fact, at this time, the little devils in various battlefields surrounding the Taihang area are almost unable to withstand it.

Huangyadong area.

The only passage into Huangya Cave, Yixiantian, was forcibly dug through more than half of it by the little devil two days ago.

As a result, the devils took a lot of time and effort, resisting the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and it took two full days to dig out a passage of several hundred meters.

Just after digging to the end, only a few loud bangs were heard, and the mountains on both sides collapsed again, burying two or three hundred little devils alive in it.

This is the end.

The 36th Division, which was in a hurry in the outer area of ​​Huangyadong, had no choice but to completely cut off the idea of ​​opening up the first-line sky channel and reinforcing the internal vanguard.

As for the more than 3000 elite devils who were still imprisoned inside Huangya Cave at this time, they were already at the end of their strength.

It was impossible to fight, and it was impossible to escape, but in the mountains of Huangyadong, the artillery attack of the Eighth Route Army hidden everywhere was like a nightmare that could not be shaken off.

Bang's little devil was trembling and had almost nowhere to escape.

The devil's aerial firepower reinforcements, which were still roaring in the sky, were taken down by Ye Min's commando team along with the devil's airborne troops.

There is no use for it anymore.

In addition, the battlefield that needs firepower reinforcement is far more than this one.

The devil's flying troops had no choice but to leave the sky above the interior of Huangya Cave.

The remnants of the Japanese army had no air reinforcements and were completely blocked in the mountains by the Eighth Route Army troops. The fate of the next one can be imagined.

It was not eliminated first in the military, it was under blockade, food was exhausted, water was not available to drink, and the weather in the mountains was still cold at this time.

In just two days, the will to fight of the remaining thousand little devils was basically exhausted.

So on a dark and windy night, when Captain Cheng, Captain Xu, Captain Jiang, and Captain Feng led the main force of each regiment, they launched a surprise attack at night.

By the next day, at dawn, all the little devils were wiped out.

More than 200 people were also captured.

This is a very rare thing since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Especially for these little devils from the elite Japanese army.

In fact, the state of these little devils has basically reached the limit, hungry, cold and thirsty, how much so-called will to fight is there.

When more than 200 little devils who surrendered honestly disarmed and rushed to the base of the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers served them delicious meals.

One by one was devouring, and only then did they re-experience the life that a living person should have.

Not long after, in the newspapers published by the propaganda department of the Eighth Route Army, there was such a scene, which recorded more than 200 Japanese soldiers wearing Showa uniforms, holding rice bowls, holding steamed buns, and even squatting together with the Eighth Route Army soldiers very friendly, Enjoy a photo of lunch.

The headline reads:

The Eighth Route Army gave preferential treatment to prisoners, and the unjust imperial aggression will perish sooner or later!

The following subtitles correspond to the main text, and there are even interviews by reporters with some soldiers at the bottom of the Japanese army who surrendered to the Eighth Route Army.

According to the true feelings of these soldiers, during the few days when they surrendered to the Eighth Route Army and became prisoners, they slept the most soundly, ate the best food, and lived the most comfortable life.

"Never been so happy!"

Higashino Kotaro said in Japanese with a happy face during the interview.

For the Japanese army, these propaganda and reports were more like invisible weapons, which made it impossible for the Japanese invaders to guard against them.

The psychological defense was greatly impacted.

... Ye Min, the deputy captain of the commando team, also won the final victory in this contest with the little devil's special paratrooper unit.

Not only that, Ye Min also fulfilled his promise to the deputy chief of staff, using ether shells to capture almost the entire Devils paratrooper unit alive.

The commander of the Airborne Forces to Destroy China, Masazo Sashima, was an exception.

From when Ye Min used radio directional positioning technology to lock the radio communication department of this devil's paratrooper unit.

It means that the life of this special airborne force of the devil is coming to an end.

In the subsequent contest between the two sides, Ye Min led the members of the commando team, and with the cooperation of various artillery groups, they cast a large net, and gradually wiped out the entire China Destroyer Airborne Troop.

Only the old devil Shimada Shozo has some skills.

He escaped from the encirclement circle opened by the soldiers many times.

In the end, Ye Min, who had a keen sense of smell, led the members of the commando to completely besiege him on a certain mountain.

A few days later, Ye Min and his team found the invincible devil Lieutenant in a certain cave.

To say that this old devil was really ruthless, after he had completely run out of food and could not see any hope, he cut himself open in this remote and dark cave.

It was disgusting.

Ye Min admired this old devil for being a tough guy, and threw a grenade into the cave when he left.

It can be regarded as the last respect for the backbone of this tough guy devil as a soldier.

This is the end.

The more than 3000 elite devils who entered the interior of Huangya Cave, including this special airborne force that the devils parachuted, were completely defeated.

From the beginning to the end, with the solid defense inside the entire Huangyadong, if the soldiers thought about it, these 3000 little devils could not even break through the outer defense zone of the Huangyadong Arsenal.

……

The outer battlefield of Huangyadong.

This is the other half of the 36 elite troops of the 6000th Division of the Japanese Army who went to Huangyadong this time.

The Japanese army originally wanted to use the Huangyadong arsenal to carry out encirclement and reinforcements, but the Eighth Route Army saw through the trick early in the morning.

With the evolution of the battle situation, due to the constant desire to enter the interior of Huangya Cave for reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army reinforcements took turns to attack, and the Japanese army also fell into a bitter battle.

Not only that, but the two sides didn't know how to fight during the confrontation. They fought and fought. On the outside battlefield of Huangyadong, the confrontation between the two sides did not stop.

Quite a number of Eighth Route Army interspersed with troops and directly detoured to the logistics headquarters of the 36th Division—Licheng County, as well as the vicinity of Shimen and HD.

Then he launched an attack on these three cities.

The little devil was completely panicked now, and the chrysanthemum tensed up in fright.

Dang even made a judgment and believed that the Eighth Route Army was going to take a trick to draw salary from Buddha and directly destroy Licheng, the logistics base camp of the 36th Division.

To completely subvert the balance of this battle.

Naturally, the 36th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Changzhi couldn't sit still, and quickly pulled out the remaining troops to reinforce Licheng.

The more than 3000 elite soldiers outside Huangya Cave also kept moving towards Licheng.

It's just such a move by the 36th Division.

The Independent Fourth Regiment, which had been waiting for an opportunity in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, immediately took the opportunity to launch an attack on some security areas in charge of the 36th Division.

"The 36th Division deployed a large number of troops to reinforce Licheng. At this time, Changzhi, including Yuncheng, and the Linfen area were basically empty of troops.

Comrades, here is our chance to steal a home!
The old rule is to focus on guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the devils is not many, they launch attacks from multiple directions, regardless of priority, so that the little devils don't care about their hands. "

When the headquarters convened the next military operation, Wang Huaibao, head of the Fourth Independent Regiment, explained excitedly.

Under the leadership of Wang Huaibao, the Fourth Independent Regiment has been flourishing in the Zhongtiao Mountain base these years.

Especially after the stable transportation channel from a detachment to the Zhongtiaoshan base area was completely opened up, it was basically impossible for the Japanese army to completely smash the Zhongtiaoshan base area and wipe out the Eighth Route Army troops dominated by the Independent Fourth Regiment.

A few years ago, the Japanese army stationed a field division in Changzhi, Yuncheng, and Linfen respectively.

At that time, the pressure on the base area was still very high, and Wang Huaibao basically implemented the strategy of secret development.

As the Japanese army has gradually weakened over the years, the three field divisions originally stationed in Changzhi, Yuncheng, and Linfen basically left the main force of the 36th Division stationed in Changzhi.

The spring of the Independent Fourth Regiment will naturally come.

As a temporarily isolated combat regiment, for the Fourth Independent Regiment, the most important task was to open up anti-Japanese revolutionary base areas, and in addition, continue to expand its troops to establish an anti-Japanese revolutionary regime.

In this regard, Wang Huaibao has done a very good job.

In less than two years.

The Fourth Independent Regiment established a firm foothold in the Zhongtiao Mountain area and opened up an anti-Japanese revolutionary base.

The entire team grew stronger, and quickly established a trinity of militias, local troops, and then the main force in the local area.

As for who is the main force?
Wang Huaibao laughed, and naturally gave himself the number of the main force, at least in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

His military strategy was very clear:
"The battle between the main force of the Taihang base and the Japanese army is the home field, and our side is an auxiliary field.

As long as a large-scale battle broke out between our natal team and the little devils, we would take the opportunity to attack the devil-occupied areas in Changzhi, Yuncheng, and Linfen to further expand the base areas.

If there is no movement from the main force of Taihang, we will stand still. "

In addition, considering that the strategic depth of the Zhongtiaoshan base area is far inferior to that of the Taihang base area, and the situation of the war of resistance is more complicated, as for the strategy against the enemy, Wang Huaibao even advocated:
Mainly to infiltrate, win over, buy, and corrupt the security forces of the Japanese and puppet troops, supplemented by military operations.

Just like that, with the opening of the Zhongtiao Mountain Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base and the growth of the Eighth Route Army led by the Independent Fourth Regiment, the devils and puppet soldiers in southern Shanxi were still panicked at first.

An Eighth Route Army who could kill them at any time was sleeping on the side of the couch, that feeling was not good.

But within half a year, as the two parties secretly contacted each other, the business became even more frequent.

This was originally a devil and puppet army mainly composed of security forces, and the imperialist ideology was not very firm.

They soon discovered that what the enemy brought was not necessarily all bad things, and it might also be money and material things.

As the old saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests...
