The father of the sword is Kong Jie

And what is the so-called strategy of breaking the situation by the deputy chief of staff?

It turned out that not long ago, the cadres at the headquarters agreed after discussion that the situation around Licheng was getting worse and worse.

So, what's the next step?

Very simple.

Avoid the light and focus on the heavy, turn the real into the virtual, strike east and west, surround the point and divide the attack.

What do you mean?

To put it simply, the Japanese army, including the Jinsui army and the Jiang army, all thought that our Eighth Route Army would concentrate its forces and launch a large-scale decisive battle with the Japanese army on the Licheng battlefield. When all regiments and brigades of the Eighth Route Army believed in this, and concentrated all forces to Licheng.

Hey, our Eighth Route Army team didn't fight like this, but took advantage of Licheng, a highly anticipated battlefield, to attract the attention of all parties from the Japanese and puppet troops.

Avoid the heavy and do the light.

All the troops that were originally going to be put into the battlefield of Licheng directly passed through Licheng, and turned to other battlefields in a detour.

Taking advantage of the concentration of Japanese troops in Licheng and the relaxation of the defense lines, they broke through it in one fell swoop.

Then the troops gathered in Licheng were quickly dispersed and transferred to various local battlefields.

Avoid the edge of the main force of the Japanese army, and completely destroy the rear of the Japanese army with empty troops, insufficient defense, and loose defense lines.

This is like two fists that are about to collide, but the fist representing the Eighth Route Army suddenly falters, avoiding the imminent collision and attacking the opponent's vitals instead.

Let the little devil hit the cotton with a fist, and he can't move it with all his strength.

Then, the Licheng battlefield, which seemed to be about to break out in a decisive battle, suddenly seemed to be a feint attack point for the Eighth Route Army, which was indeed enough to catch the Japanese army off guard.

Of course, for all of this to be implemented smoothly, many prerequisites are required.

One is the information asymmetry between the two sides. The communication system of the Eighth Route Army should be more instructive to the connection and command of the entire army.

Of course there is no problem with this.

In the past two years, the construction of the Taihang base of the Eighth Route Army has paid special attention to the improvement of the overall communication system.

For this reason, after being approved by the headquarters, Kong Jie used a considerable amount of financial resources to purchase a large amount of the most advanced American communication equipment through some American arms dealers, including a large number of radio stations, both long-wave and short-wave, large and small have everything,
There is also a more convenient walkie-talkie, which is the fastest and most convenient communication device for the frontline departments to fight.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army troops are under the unified command of the former enemy general headquarters.

All the teams work together, the main force, local troops, and even the militia, cooperate with each other and unite as one.

Even ordinary people were included in the intelligence network, which played a very important role.

In contrast, the Japanese army is much worse.

The navy and the army have always been at odds, and even stumbling each other, which is no longer a rare thing.

As for the army itself, there are also many internal contradictions.

Especially after the Pacific War and the Southeast Asian battlefield broke out completely.

The Japanese army fought on multiple fronts, its strength was unsustainable, its logistics was in short supply, and the contradictions intensified.

The security forces that the devil stayed in the rear became more and more uneven.

The field elites are relatively better and relatively united, but the local security forces are almost invisible due to the gradual prolongation of the war.

Coupled with the gradual decline of the Japanese army, many Japanese security forces were gradually decayed, and they had no intention of fighting at all, and only cared about making a fortune from the lingering war.

Coupled with those sloppy puppet troops, it is possible to let the Japanese army show loopholes from the inside at any time.

The reason why the intelligence work of the Eighth Route Army has made such rapid progress is also inseparable from the above factors.

The devil's first army includes troops stationed in Mongolia, as well as dispatched troops in central and southern China, and Kwantung Army troops.

On the surface, they seem to be in harmony with each other, but they are also intriguing in private.

How can it compare to the united and monolithic Eighth Route Army troops?
another.

It was just the right time.

First, the battle against the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal launched by the devils, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area failed miserably.

And Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led mechanized combat troops to surprise Datong.

After a series of disastrous defeats, the Eighth Route Army quickly gathered a large number of troops to Licheng.

The Japanese army preconceived that the Eighth Route Army really made up its mind to break through Licheng.

Of course, the Japanese army also had doubts, but they did not dare to gamble.

The moment Datong City was broken, the Japanese army suddenly realized that the Eighth Route Army already had the strength to break through the fortress city.

Even the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka, who was in the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan City, immediately strengthened the vigilance of the entire Taiyuan City after the news that Datong City was broken.

This old devil is also afraid!

He was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would go crazy, and even Taiyuan would be praised by him.

Then his first army probably didn't even have the last fig leaf.

As the commander, Shinozuka Yoshio could not escape the crime even if he died.

Therefore, the Japanese army had reason to believe that the Eighth Route Army was indeed going to attack Licheng. They did not dare to delay, and even asked the Kwantung Army, Central China, and South China to send troops for help.

After setting up a full battle, he decided to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army, according to the original plan, was indeed preparing to attack Licheng after breaking through Datong.

At least that's how the headquarters arranged in the preparatory meeting before the battle started.

Therefore, the troops attacking Li City from all directions did not hold back at all, and they directly killed themselves when they came up.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army would not believe that the formation was just a feint, a false attack, a false attack, let alone a devil.

until……

The orders from the headquarters were quickly issued to the front-line brigades and regiments through a complete communication network.

A large number of signal soldiers were also quickly dispatched among the frontline combat units to tell each other.

Only then did the commanders realize that the decisive battle surrounding Li City, which was about to start, might not go on.

Order:

"The ministries quickly evacuated from the vicinity of Licheng, and waited for an opportunity to withdraw to the base area according to their own conditions, or penetrated into the weakly defended areas of the enemy army, avoiding the most important and taking the lightest, and expanding the results of the battle!"

The commanders are all smart people. As soon as this order from the headquarters is issued, everyone will understand what it means.

In fact, seeing the main forces of all parties gathering in Licheng, and seeing the decisive battle with the Japanese army, many commanders also hesitated.

It all happened so fast.

Just when everyone thought they were going to have a tough fight with the little devil.

The order from headquarters has arrived.

While the commanders came back to their senses, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

We are indeed not fully prepared for the decisive battle with the Japanese army right now.

As for taking the opportunity to intersperse, detour, and infiltrate areas where the Japanese army's defenses are weak, that is the forte of the frontline troops.

Therefore, under the order of the headquarters, the frontline troops immediately turned their fronts, while setting up suspicious formations, and continued to leave some troops to pretend to attack Licheng, while taking the opportunity to transfer troops and withdraw.

……

However, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led the rapid reaction force to avoid Licheng directly, go all the way south, and wait for an opportunity to find other battlefields. This happened before the order from the headquarters was issued.

No wonder the deputy chief of staff said with emotion: "Boss, don't these two brats want to go ahead of us?"

"I see only one San Jin, I'm afraid it won't be able to satisfy Li Yunlong and Kong Jie's appetite!"

Then some cadres suggested: "Boss, should I contact Li Yunlong and Kong Jie immediately, let them take it easy, and don't go too far alone?"

The boss laughed when he heard this, and asked back: "Believe it or not, if I really pass this order on, even if Kong Jie and Li Yunlong are willing to carry out the order, these two bastards will definitely give me a discount.

It may be that they withdrew back according to the order, but they did not retreat the same way, but detoured half of China before returning to the base area. What can I do? "

The cadres were all taken aback when they heard this, and then burst into laughter.

The deputy chief of staff even analyzed: "Regardless of whether Kong Jie and Li Yunlong wanted to go with us or not, it may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to lead the rapid reaction force southward and rush to the battlefields of other provinces.

In the direction of Licheng, after the adjustment of our army's tactics, a large number of combat troops will infiltrate the rear of the Japanese army's empty defensive force.

This is also the time for our quick reaction force to attack every corner and intersperse over long distances.

As for the final result, let's wait for the good news from Li Yunlong and Kong Jie! "

……

……

At this time, the two protagonists Li Yunlong and Kong Jie mentioned by the boss and the deputy chief of staff have already split into two groups. Before leaving, Li Yunlong said to Kong Jie excitedly:
"Old Kong, when the little devils carried out massacres, they were really fucking bastards. The devils made an agreement to see who would kill more people. They were like animals. Thinking about it, I feel angry.

This blood debt should be paid in blood.

This time, the two of us might as well make a bet. After the troops are divided into two groups, let's see which of our two teams has won more battles, killed more devils and puppet troops, captured more supplies, and has a stronger team. , How about comparing the heights after meeting? "

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Old Li, if you say that, then we'll have a good comparison!"

"Okay, then we can make a deal!"

After the two hit it off.

Immediately, each led half of the fully mechanized combat troops, all the way to the west of Shandong, and all the way to the north of Henan.

……at the same time.

After the order from the headquarters was issued, and with the adjustment of the tactics of each unit, the troops that originally attacked in the direction of Licheng were thunderous and rainy, but after passing through the suspicious formation, the Japanese army's judgment was paralyzed for nearly a long time.

When several reinforcements from the Japanese army finally arrived at the outskirts of Licheng, they were just about to launch an attack on the siege of the Eighth Route Army.

Those Eighth Route Army troops outside the city fled without looking back.

The little devil chased all the way, and the soldiers scattered all the way, and soon disappeared into the suburban forest village, which made the Japanese army stunned.

The imaginary decisive battle with the main force of the Eighth Route Army after the reinforcements arrived did not happen.

These eight ways are actually withdrawn at the touch of a touch, and they don't like fighting at all.

Some of the mechanized combat units in Central China and South China who came for reinforcements did not know the strength of the Taihang Eighth Route Army.

Then, fierce fighting broke out.

When the follow-up Japanese reinforcements arrived, the mechanized squadron that pursued in depth fell into a trap set by the Eighth Route Army along the way. More than half of the casualties were already caused, and more than half of the dozen or so military vehicles were blown up.

This is the end.

The devils in South China finally realized the arrogance and strength of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

This is not on the same level as the Eighth Route Army troops there.

Therefore, in the face of the Eighth Route Army troops that had originally besieged Licheng but retreated, the Japanese reinforcements no longer dared to pursue them at will.

With the reinforcements of the Japanese army, the siege troops of the Eighth Route Army gradually retreated, and Yoshio Shinozuka heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing the news.

At the very least, Licheng was saved, and it was not lost again after the collapse of Datong City. His First Army retained its last face.

But then there was one bad news after another.

Emergency in Shouyang, emergency in Yangquan, emergency in Heyuan, emergency in Pingan County, emergency in Tan County...

All the blockades rushed for help, saying that they were attacked by the main combat troops of the Eighth Route Army, and a large number of defense lines had already been lost and were broken through by the Eighth Route Army.

After these breakthroughs, the Eighth Route Army troops continued to detour all the way, and even went straight into the districts of central Hebei, southern Hebei, northern Henan, and southern Shanxi.

When the news came, the devil officers were completely dumbfounded.

It means that the crisis in Licheng has been lifted, but instead it has been replaced by other districts and cities.

One day later, the Eighth Route Army troops that originally surrounded the Licheng area basically disappeared, while the Kwantung Army, Central China, and South China dispatched troops that continued to move closer to Licheng were still advancing towards Licheng.

It wasn't until these little devils joined the devils of the first army that they learned that the crisis in Licheng had been resolved.

But then it was learned that the Eighth Route had dispersed the main force, infiltrated, and even broke through the defense line in Shanxi, endangering other provinces.

The devil officers were astonished.

There are also secretly happy.

For example, Major General Ishikawa, head of the Japanese Third Mixed Brigade.

As an escape expert, Ishikawa, although he lost the battle, basically retained the organizational system and held the main defense area. Even so, he was still ridiculed by many colleagues.

Now it is known that the Taihang Eighth Route Army has broken through many defense zones, and has even spread to central Hebei, southern Hebei, and even northern Henan and western Shandong.

Old Devil Ishikawa is secretly happy!

The more noisy the Eighth Route Army is, the greater the losses in other occupied areas, and the more they can cover up their mistakes.

Others lost territory, lost equipment, lost supplies, and suffered heavy losses. I didn't lose the defense zone, and the army system is still there. In the end, it may be who is more embarrassing!

If you want to take the blame, you can take it together, if you want to lose face, you can lose it together.

You don't believe that the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area is powerful, so let your other armies have a good taste.

Thinking of this, Shi Chuan could not wait to order directly to open the defense area in charge of his own department, and let the Eighth Route Army go there.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!
