Chapter 206 Meiling Force (2)

Li Chong was really surprised, and Ba Lu's reaction speed was too fast.On the point of engaging in the enemy's rear, Li Chong admired the Eight Route Army's ability from the bottom of his heart.Almost wherever there are Japanese troops, there are eight-way resistance forces, and I don't know how to do it.

"Head, hasn't Jiangxi been called their revolutionary hometown by the Eighth Route people?"

After the second battalion commander Jian Yongjiang mentioned it, Li Chong thought it was true. After all, there is still Jinggangshan in Jiangxi, which was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the chairman of the committee.

"How many people are there in these eight-way guerrilla forces?"

"I haven't heard about this, but it doesn't make much sense if I think about it. How many guns can they have? Can they compare with us?"

The Second Battalion Commander Jian Yongjiang said in an arrogant tone, in which he didn't think much of the armed forces of the Eighth Route Guerrilla.

Not only Jian Yongjiang, but also Li Chong himself. Although he has a curious and learning attitude towards some of the legendary deeds of the Eighth Route Army, Li Chong himself was born in a professional class in Huangpu and is the head of the main division at a young age. To be honest, he doesn't look down on these guerrilla armed forces, but he is curious about the speed of the development of the armed forces of the Eight Route Army.

Thinking about how I had just led the group to Meiling and was gaining a foothold, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army were mobilized, and they made a few beautiful moves. This kind of mobilization strength should not be underestimated.

"In addition to the armed forces mentioned above, there are still some people in Meiling who did not want to be obedient citizens to the devils after the devils came, so they ran to the mountains to beg for a living. Most of these people lived in the mountains to escape the war and chose danger. Just for self-preservation."

Hearing Jian Yongjiang's words, Li Chong's eyes lit up, "These people are good soldiers, um, you did a good job."

After listening to the results of Jian Yongjiang's two-day visit to Meiling, Li Chong had a general understanding of the situation in Meiling.

It seems that Meiling is not only a vast area, but also the water is not shallow.

The bandits and the guerrillas are doing very well, and they sound quite influential in the local area, so they will inevitably have to deal with them in the future.

In the next few days, while Li Chong continued to add bricks and tiles to the main peak of Meiling, at the same time he had a deep understanding of the situation in Meiling and surrounding counties, including the devils in Nanchang City.

If you want to gain a foothold, you must first know what kind of environment you are in, right?
As for the devil, he wasn't idle either.

Starting from Nanchang City, these devils have been linked to various counties and cities, and they are also constantly tightening their control over the surrounding areas of Nanchang.In the beginning, Li Chong was able to send experienced veterans into Nanchang City to spy on the devils, and he was even able to inquire about the truth in the military area of ​​Nanchang City.But a few days ago, the devils forcibly drove away the original residents in the designated military zone, and it was difficult to get close to the outer edge.

Two days later, the puppet city government issued an announcement that "firewood is not allowed to enter the market". The purpose behind the announcement is that the devils want to reduce the city's population to facilitate "rule."

At this moment, the devils no longer practice the brutal ruling methods like killing, arson, and raping women when they broke through the city. Now they need to reduce the resentment of the "obedient people" and need the help of the Imperial Association Army to defend the city, so "establish a **** circle!" slogans are everywhere on the walls.

In order to reduce the population of Nanchang City and make it easier to govern, the devils ordered the newly established puppet city government to issue this policy of "no charcoal entering the market", which in disguise forced some people in the city to leave Nanchang City.

This is the "progress" of the devil's means, and it has become "civilized". When it is time to break the city, it will be dragged directly to the river and shot.

At the same time as the number of people in the city decreased, the devils created a "good citizen certificate", and a series of tricks made it much more difficult for strangers to enter the city.

In addition to these actions in Nanchang City and the surrounding counties, the devils also began to set up maintenance committees along the railway lines and highways to the surrounding towns and towns, and recruited migrant workers to start repairing blockhouses along the lines. Step by step, it is encroaching on the military blank area and compressing the living space of the resistance forces.

"Beautiful, this battle was fought beautifully!"

These days, in addition to gaining a firm foothold, Li Chong also paid close attention to the progress of the Suizao Battle. !” When the news came out, he couldn’t help but shoot up.Although he was not personally on the scene, Li Chong could still feel the charm of this big-budget game.

Although he would "modify" when reporting the number of soldiers killed in battle, Li Chong still applauded the beautiful mobile battle played by the fifth theater.

"Head, is there any good news? Share it with us too."

The first battalion commander Tang Dayao, who was in charge of the infrastructure work of the regiment headquarters, came in from the outside and said that he was about to invite Li Chong to inspect the newly built regiment headquarters when he heard his own regiment commander cheering.

"Haha, the Fifth War Zone of our colleagues fought a beautiful battle in Suizao! Let me tell you about it." Li Chong said with a smile when he saw that the first battalion commander Tang Dayao had entered.

Just as I was about to babble, an audience happened to come.

Tang Dayao pulled a bench and sat down, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't the situation with Suizao over? Before we left Tietouling, Zaoyang, Tanghe, Nanyang, and Xinye were all captured by devils. Could it be that the Fifth War Zone Turned over?"

He got the news later than Li Chong.

Li Chong nodded and said, "In the Suizao battlefield at the beginning, General Tang Keqin's 31st Army and General Li Heling's 11th Army were indeed unable to defend the city. Important counties such as Zaoyang, Tanghe, Nanyang, Xinye, etc. The strong siege ability of Okamura's command troops captured the city, and the start was a good one. But I just received the news. In fact, on the way we came to Meiling, the situation was turning in a favorable direction. .”

"Okamura's four divisions have more than 11 troops. At the beginning, they had a lot of troops, but they had to defend every city they attacked. Halfway through the battle of Suizao, Okamura's troops had already been restrained by half of the city. At this time, the seniors of the Whampoa and Baoding departments are working hard."

While talking, Li Chong took out a pen and drew on the paper, "First, the 85th Army led by General Wang Zhonglian, an old school senior from the first phase of Whampoa, the 13th Army led by General Zhang Zhen who was a former Whampoa tactical instructor, and Qin Wude, who graduated from Baoding Military Academy. The 84th Army led by the general and the three armies worked together to cut off the passage between the Tanaka and Fujie troops who were pressing on the two roads here, so that the two troops could not respond to each other. Then the 33rd Army under the command of General Zhang Zizhong and the [-]st Army of General Sun Dingmao The second-line troops took the opportunity to cross the Han River eastward, and attacked Tanaka's and Fujie's troops from the flanks."

On Tongbai Mountain, Li Chong drew five arrows straight into the two circles representing the Japanese army.

"Here comes a wonderful stroke!" Li Chong's eyes were full of admiration.

"At the same time that a large-scale exchange of fire broke out in Tongbai, General Tang Keqin's 31st Army led a large circle from Sandaidian to avoid the Japanese troops that had already occupied Nanyang, and then went north to Qinyang, and then turned around to take the momentum head-on. Attack the Japanese troops stationed in Xinye."

The tip of the pen drew a large half circle on the paper, turned around and an arrow went straight to Xinye, and his tone became passionate.

"While the ground troops were onslaught, and with the cooperation of the artillery regiment under the group army for two hours, the Japanese troops stationed in Xinye began to retreat under heavy pressure, making every move. The entire Suizao area took advantage of the situation to launch a general offensive. The counties that were lost at the beginning, such as Tanghe, Zaoyang, and Tongbai, were recovered one after another. On the 20th, the situation before the war was restored!"
