The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 985 Another... Hundred Regiments Battle?

... The captain of the Yanbei detachment, Song, was also a very characterful general in the war of resistance. In the past few years, in the border area of ​​the three provinces of Shanxi, Hebei and Mongolia, he has tossed the little devils enough.

This time, according to the order of the division headquarters, after Datong was successfully captured, the main force of the Yanbei Detachment took the captured mechanical vehicles of the 26th Division and rushed towards Inner Mongolia, attracting the attention of the Japanese army and covering the rapid attack led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie. Response troops, roundabout operations in the direction of Licheng.

But how could the mighty and mighty Captain Song be satisfied with this?
"We fought Datong too suddenly, and the devils stationed had already been depleted of troops, so he didn't enjoy this battle at all.

Next, our various troops gathered in Licheng, and the devils quickly sent additional defenders to Licheng. This was the first frontal, large-scale fortified battle in the true sense since our Eighth Route Army's War of Resistance.

Our Yanbei Detachment can't miss this big show! "

The deputy detachment leader at the side was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Lao Song, don't mess around, we have a mission, and we have to go north to contain the Japanese army."

"Of course the mission must be completed. It's just that this time our troops from all walks of life headed to Licheng together. This is a grand battle to be fought together. We must not miss it. Even if we arrive later, we must catch up."

"so……"

As he said that, Captain Song immediately thought about it, "Let's advance towards Zhangjiakou first, take advantage of the trend and destroy some puppet cavalry pastures stationed in the Mongolian army at the junction of Hebei and Mongolia.

After attracting all the attention of the devils, we divided into two groups, one way continued to go north to contain the Japanese army, and the other way led by me, quickly detoured towards Licheng. "

"Old Xu, you have to help me fulfill this wish!"

In this regard, what else could Deputy Captain Xu say, and he had no choice but to agree.

Soon after, with the rapid mobility of mechanized combat vehicles, the Yanbei Detachment, which was advancing rapidly northward, arrived near Zhangjiakou.

Immediately afterwards, an assault was launched on the cavalry ranches of some nearby Japanese and puppet troops.

This was a contest between the mechanized combat troops and the devil cavalry. The devil and the puppet army were no match, they were quickly defeated, and the pasture was destroyed immediately.

At this time, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led the rapid response force, and quickly moved south along the border suburbs of Shanxi and Hebei. Along the way, they were covered by the bases of the Eighth Route Army, and the little devils did not notice them immediately.

So the mechanized combat unit of the Yanbei Detachment, which took the lead in making noise near Zhangjiakou, immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Datong was quickly attacked by such a mechanized combat force.

After the Eighth Route Army that attacked Datong withdrew, there was a mechanized combat unit that quickly went north. This made the Japanese army subconsciously think that the Eighth Route Army that attacked Datong’s mechanical combat unit went north again.

Sure enough, the devil's attention was attracted.

The reconnaissance plane flying out of Wuchagou Airport also roared back and forth over the sky near Zhangjiakou to investigate the situation, trying to block the mechanized combat units of the Eighth Route Army going north.

……

The cavalry unit of the 35th Army on the other side, including a special mechanized combat unit formed by Commander Fu with some armored vehicles and cars made by Jin, together formed a mixed rapid transport unit.

The news that Datong was breached by the Eighth Route Army came, and the battle in the direction of Licheng intensified again.

The cavalry group of the Garrison Mongolian Army originally stationed in the Baotou base camp first sent two cavalry regiments southward, and was deeply encircled by the Eighth Route Army.

After the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi made chaos everywhere, the devil's cavalry group continued to deploy troops to assist in the battle.

At this time, the Mongolian army stationed in Baotou may have already been empty of troops.

Commander Fu, who realized that the opportunity was once in a lifetime, immediately issued a combat order to surprise Baotou with fast cavalry units and mechanized combat units.

Commander Fu, who is good at stealing houses, played again.

Taking away the Baotou base camp of the Mongolian army has always been his obsession.

"Our 35th Route Army has gained a lot of fame in the past few years, especially the battle to recover Wuyuan, which made us famous in the first battle.

But we can't just think about eating our laurels. Right now, the Eighth Route Army has even knocked down the Datong Fortress of the devils.

If things go on like this, in the area of ​​northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, I am afraid that I only know the Eighth Route Army but not my 35th Route Army.

This is not the case, regardless of the outcome of this attack on Baotou, we must show the momentum of my 35th Route Army!

Let the little devil know that in this area of ​​Inner Mongolia and Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army is not easy to mess with, and Fu is not a vegetarian either! "

"Set off--"

……

In the direction of Datong, the troops of the Eighth Route Army gradually disappeared.

After the Yanbei Detachment and the quick-reaction troops led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie withdrew first, the main force of the 120th Division and comrades from the local troops also retreated to the base area in an orderly manner.

Facing the reinforcements that the little devil was still madly advancing towards Datong, the soldiers slowly let go of the blocking and let the little devil go.

It's a pity that when the devil's reinforcements rushed back to Datong, all they were left with was the empty material depot, ammunition depot, and granary.

Even if it was a brick or a tile, everything that was useful was looted by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

The 26th Division was stationed in Datong, and the family property that had been in business for many years was completely declared bankrupt.

Including all kinds of military vehicles, motorcycles, search vehicles, bicycles, as well as armored vehicles and tanks, a total of more than 200 vehicles.

In addition, a large number of artillery stored in the Datong arsenal was also looted.

It was some heavy howitzers, which were also towed away by the soldiers with tractor vehicles.

There are also a large number of mine equipment, including all kinds of rare minerals hoarded by the devils, as well as factory equipment and massive piles of materials.

All of this, if the Eighth Route Army broke through Datong, the headquarters of the 26th Division, in one fell swoop with its earth-shattering surprise attack tactics, it would be a military miracle.

Then, after gathering all the soldiers and civilians of the Eighth Route Army, the rapid transfer of various materials captured by the Japanese army within a short period of time also created a miracle.

Back and forth, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi invested in troops, plus local troops, militia troops, and even ordinary people who took the initiative to help.

The total number of people, roughly estimated after the war, even exceeded 10.

It was promoted by the report of the Eighth Route Army later:

This is a great military miracle created by the unity of the army and the people of the Eighth Route Army and the unity of the people on the anti-Japanese battlefield.

This is a miracle launched by all the military and civilian vehicles, and it is a miracle of tens of thousands of people working together, highly cooperating, and closely dividing labor.

It was like a large group of ants, seemingly disorganized, but they cooperated tacitly. Under the efficient operation, they transported all the huge amount of materials hoarded by the Japanese army in Datong.

of course.

There are too many supplies, and with the continuous pursuit of Japanese reinforcements along the way, the battle may happen at any time.

It is impossible for the soldiers and the people who helped them to transfer all the supplies to the base area.

This was also what the Eighth Route Army cadres had expected long before the battle broke out when they were in the division headquarters.

Therefore, the final solution is still the most familiar idea of ​​segmental transfer, nearby transfer, secret transportation, and finally gradually transfer to the base area.

to be honest.

It is to gather the strength of all the soldiers and civilians, disperse a large amount of seized materials on the spot in various villages, and hide them temporarily in various base areas, so as to achieve the effect of quickly hiding the materials.

Then delay time through small-scale battles, until these secretly hidden materials are successfully transferred to the Eighth Route Army base.

Even in some local battles, the soldiers were defeated by the Japanese and puppet troops, and the lost supplies were only a very small part.

In the face of tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians who are united as one, the Japanese army can only sigh in despair.

Lieutenant General Hou Gongchun, the division head of the 26th Division, who learned the news at the headquarters, was so distressed that he almost cried when he learned that all his family assets accumulated over the years had been looted.

More is despair.

After this battle is over, it can be expected that his 26th Division will lose face because of this disastrous defeat.

Coupled with the fact that the family property has been completely emptied, even if the army itself suffered few casualties, the huge army in the future will even be in a dilemma of not being able to support it.

It's almost ashamed to throw it at grandma's house.

……

At this time, the fiasco of Datong has become a certain fact and cannot be changed.

The Japanese army couldn't care less about the loss.

The attention of the Japanese army in Inner Mongolia and Shanxi was quickly attracted to the battlefield in Licheng, where the commotion was getting louder and louder.

If it is said that the battle of Datong was not exciting and intense because the Japanese army was not fully prepared.

So now the battle surrounding Licheng, both sides have made relatively adequate preparations, once it breaks out completely.

That was the battle in the true sense, enough to shake the entire North China and even the entire Sino-Japanese battlefield.

The Eighth Route Army is frantically deploying troops, changing its low-key and guerrilla warfare policy for so many years.

In terms of the Taihang base area, the main combat troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army almost came out in full force. The 386 brigade and the 385 brigade included various new combat brigades, and a total of dozens of regiments went into battle.

In the Taiyue Military Region, the guerrilla units of the Eighth Route Army also advanced in the direction of Licheng, constantly attacking the Japanese blockade.

Combat troops, including those in central Hebei and southern Hebei, also went south to Licheng, taking the opportunity to launch local counter-offensive operations, further expanding the area of ​​the base area, and impacting the security and stability of the Japanese security area.

The commotion became louder and louder, and in the end even some guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong became more active and aggressive than before, attacking the surrounding Japanese and puppet army blockade strongholds.

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Looking at the huge combat map hanging on the wall in front of him, representing the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army, and even including the Jinsui Army and the Jiang Army, the situation where all kinds of arrows and teeth are different, the boss was a little dazed for a while.

It was just a team at first, and that kid Kong Jie took the lead in launching the winter counterattack.

At that time, Kong Jie made a special report to the headquarters about the specific combat plan for this winter counterattack, and the boss personally gave instructions.

As a result, a team played really well, and the counterattack in winter took down many towns and villages of the Japanese army.

In one fell swoop, it broke the rumor that the Eighth Route Army swam without fighting.

As a result, the winter offensive developed to the middle and late stages.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and his party accidentally discovered information that the Japanese army was preparing to attack the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal.

So the offensive and defensive battle of Huangyadong broke out.

The troops directly under the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and several main forces of the 386th Brigade fought the Japanese army inside Huangya Cave, and more than a dozen main regiments in nearby base areas and military divisions began to fight with Japanese reinforcements.

After that, after the anti-sweeping battle started in the 385 brigade base area.

The main force of the 385 brigade, and more than a dozen main regiments in various base areas and military divisions, participated in anti-mopping operations.

Then the anti-sweeping battle in the Iron Triangle defense area started, and the remaining regiments cooperated with the reinforcements from southern Hebei to fight, and there were also a large number of local troops.

Started a confrontation with the troops stationed in Mongolia going south.

As reinforcements, the Zhongtiaoshan troops will not move for the time being, and troops from the peripheral Jiang army will also participate in the battle.

To break the game.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong joined forces and boldly proposed a surprise attack on Datong.

What kind of person is the boss, the experienced general, when he realizes that this plan is feasible, he supports it with absolute courage, and finalizes the battle plan of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie in detail.

So far, the Yanbei Detachment of the 120th Division, the 358th Brigade and other units have fully cooperated with the mobile unit of the 129th Division in Baode County, fighting in the direction of Datong, as well as Yan'an reinforcements. These also have more than [-] regiments.

As the situation between the two sides became anxious, more and more troops were invested by both sides.

Even the boss himself is dazzled by the map.

That's not counting the troops involved in the sabotage war along the Tongpu Railway and the pacification of the raid along the railway line.

The devil's fast squadron, the motorized search team, and the traitor flying convoy, which were still showing off their might, were blown up by roadside bombs as soon as they came out of the city gate.

These troops are combined with the iron triangle attacking wolf troops that are infiltrating everywhere.

Not to mention the Japanese army, even the boss thinks, how come the entire Shanxi and Hebei regions, and even the direction of Inner Mongolia, have the combat power of our Eighth Route Army in all directions?

Mobile warfare, ambush warfare, positional warfare, pursuit warfare, fortified warfare...

All kinds of battles are almost covered by this battle.

The boss who came back to his senses actually had some headaches. Even he was not sure how to effectively direct the overall situation in such an increasingly complicated and huge situation.

It is estimated that it can only lead to a general direction.

Let the regiments let go of the rest to fight.

only……

"This scene... why does it feel a little familiar?"

"By the way, now that I think about it, isn't this exactly the change before the Hundred Regiments War completely entered a large-scale battle?"

For this reason, the boss's heart skipped a beat.

I'm really bored, I never thought about launching such a large-scale battle at all, what happened to this, and it gradually evolved into the current situation?

Fortunately, in this battle, according to the current evolution of the situation, the Eighth Route Army has completely gained the upper hand.

Datong has been broken.

The Japanese army in Huangya Cave has been wiped out.

The 385th Brigade's anti-sweeping campaign was successfully completed, which severely damaged the Japanese army and suppressed all the Japanese field troops in the devil's public security area.

The battle of the Iron Triangle troops to annihilate the troops stationed in Mongolia going south is also coming to an end.

"Perhaps, it's also time for the soldiers to hone in advance and accumulate more combat experience after entering the strategic counter-offensive stage in the future!"
