Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 314 After eating foreign bread for several years, you can't fight anymore?

On a certain section of the main road in Hebei Province, dozens of traitors maintained a scattered formation, and they swaggered towards Shimen.

These two devils walked and chatted, not caring whether there were hidden enemies around.After all, in the cognition of idiots, the closer you are to a big city, the safer you will be.

"Hurry up! What are the ink blots!"

"If you delay the Taijun's important event, you will definitely be too hungry to walk around!"

"I heard that [-]% of the Imperial Association Army near Shimen will be dispatched this time. The last time this kind of big battle was the winter raid a year ago, I don't know where the guerrillas provoked the locust army."

Hearing his company commander's words, a seemingly clever traitor shivered involuntarily.

For people like them who sell their ancestors and seek glory, bullying and bullying ordinary people is considered an expert, but fighting the Eighth Route Army with real knives and guns is absolutely for nothing.

"Company commander, the princes don't want us to fight Shanxi."

"I have a few fellow villagers in Jingxing. I heard from them that the Eighth Route Army over there is stronger than the national army. If there is a real fight, I'm afraid they will be used as cannon fodder."

"It's really not possible, let's find a way to escape. There is only a few oceans a month, and there is no need to risk our lives."

As soon as these words came out, the entire team fell into a dead silence.

To be a traitor basically has no backbone.But anyone who still has a little blood in their hearts has already gone to the nearby guerrillas to fight the devils to the end.

Unless the sun rises from the west, they can't be expected to work hard.

"Let's take one step at a time. Only when you go to Shimen will you know what the mission is."

"it is good!"

When the traitors gradually left, there was an extremely imperceptible movement in the woods beside the main road.If it is an ordinary person, you will never find that there are two people hiding there unless you get closer.

"Captain, this should be the fourth batch today."

"I don't know what the devils and traitors are going to do. Could it be that they are going to Shimen to pay someone's birthday?"

After ignoring the complaints from the team members, the captain of the district team took out a piece of tissue paper from his pocket, and then drew a line on it with a pen.

On the second day after the imperial meeting ended, the Japanese troops entrenched in Hebei, Chahar and Suiyuan began to intensively mobilize the materials needed for the war.

The big and small leaders of the various puppet armies also held frequent meetings in the county to mobilize for the upcoming war.

The above-mentioned behavior immediately aroused the vigilance of intelligence agencies, local armed forces and militias, and everyone used the nearby communication network to report what they saw and heard to their superiors.

In the eyes of the comrades, the devil's secrecy method, which he thought was a good one, was ridiculous. Every move of the entire North China Front Army could not escape the eyes of the troops.

"Okay, why bother with those second devils?"

"Hurry up and take this piece of paper to the first division, and report the data of this morning. Be careful on the road, and don't be discovered by the enemy."

"Roger that!"

······
On October 1941, 10, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Command.

"Master, this is the news from the troops at all levels. Based on the available information, we have reason to suspect that the devil will launch a large-scale military operation within a week."

"Tsk, these enemies are really crazy. They actually have the courage to attack us. I don't know who gave them the courage to never turn back."

"Is there any news from the headquarters? Is there an order for us to respond?"

103. Always keep a smile on your face when reporting work.

In his opinion, whether it is the troops directly under the Mongolian Army or the North China Front Army, launching an offensive at this time is no different from courting death.

If the enemy is huddled within the occupied area and is willing to abandon some cities of little strategic significance, it is possible to cause some trouble to the Eighth Route Army with reduced troop strength.

After all, today's troops lack heavy artillery, and it is very troublesome to attack a city.

But luckily now, Okamura Ningji took the initiative to give up his only advantage and pulled all the troops out of Hebei, Suiyuan and Chahar to fight in the field.

Thinking of this, 103 continued before his teacher replied:

"It seems that the devils are living in the memories of the past and can't get out. If this happened four years ago, I might praise them for their courage."

"After all, the main force attacking Shanxi at that time was the Fifth Division. The Type A division in 1937 was not low in gold content. Even if we walked across the grass and climbed the snow-capped mountains, we could only win with all our strength in mountain warfare. .”

"What kind of stuff is the North China Front Army now? A bunch of B-type divisions plus a few independent mixed brigades dare to go to Shanxi? How is this behavior different from lighting lanterns in the toilet?"

Seeing the excited expression of the chief of staff, the tiger in the forest frowned slightly, looking serious and calm.

The two had been together in the north for many years, and he naturally knew that the other party was eager to prove his command ability on the battlefield, and his own situation was somewhat similar.

Due to going to the north to recuperate, the fifth-level generals have missed many major events and failed to participate in the Hundred Regiments Battle, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain and the Second Battle of Taiyuan.

Obviously, in the ever-changing era, the great victory four years ago could no longer satisfy his appetite.

Although no one will question his status as the leader of the first division, the proud tiger in the forest needs a big victory to declare his return to the enemy.

"Be serious, have you forgotten what it means to be a proud soldier? Did you forget how to fight after eating foreign bread for a few years?"

"Devils may be impulsive, but those people never fight unprepared. Don't jump to conclusions without thoroughly understanding the opponent's cards."

"This is a telegram from the headquarters, you can read it yourself."

After being reprimanded by his teacher, 103 put away his underestimation of the enemy, and silently opened the telegram sent by the headquarters and began to read it carefully.

According to the analysis of the deputy general staff, the target of the Mongolian army's attack is most likely Datong.

If you want to fight the current Eighth Route Army, field anti-aircraft artillery and large-caliber heavy artillery are indispensable.If the starting point of the Beitongpu Railway cannot be captured, the enemy will not be able to bring heavy weapons into Shanxi.

Just like four years ago, the devil's best strategic route is to attack from north to south along Tongpu Road, attacking Yuanping, Naoxian, Nanhuaihua and Xinkou in sequence.

"It seems that our first battle after returning to China is to defend Datong."

"Fortunately, the deputy commander didn't let us fight the Mongolian army in the trenches. We just need to use the fortifications to frustrate the enemy's spirit."

"Now that there are artillery, tanks and even aircraft in the army, it is the best choice to give full play to mobility, and to use depth and layer blocking to reduce casualties as much as possible."

Judging from the current situation, the devils not only lost the air supremacy, but even the artillery firepower was on the weak side.

In this case, the enemy will definitely adopt the tactics of frontal containment and flanking outflanking.

Only by closing the distance with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region as much as possible and constantly organizing small-scale attacks, assaults, and even close combat and night raids can the power of our light weapons be unleashed.

Only by making the positions intertwined with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region can the Eighth Route Army's long-range firepower and near-ground support aircraft be afraid.

At this moment, if you squat in the trenches and passively defend, it is a foolish behavior to give up your advantage, and using depth to lure the enemy to go deeper is the best choice.

Hearing his chief of staff's point of view, Lin Zhonghuo nodded in satisfaction. The two had exactly the same thoughts.

"I personally think that our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region can set the final decisive battle location at Xinkou and fight the Japanese in the Battle of Xinkou."

"At that time, we will lure the enemy to go deep and retreat for a decisive battle, where we will give full play to our air superiority and firepower superiority, and annihilate all the invading Mongolian troops in the basin."

"That's it for now. You go ask the Communications Department to send a telegram to the headquarters and evacuate the people along the way."

"Yes!"

Xinkou is located in the northwest of the Xinding Basin. Both railways and highways intersect here. It is the only transportation artery from northern Shanxi to Taiyuan.

If the devils from Suiyuan and Hebei want to attack Taiyuan, they must carry heavy weapons.As long as you bring heavy weapons, you must try to get through Xinkou.

To the east of it is Wutai Mountain, to the west is Yunzhong Mountain, and the Hutuo River and Yunzhong River blow through it.

Once the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region completes luring the enemy in, don't be too happy about what happens next.The Eighth Route Army will use artillery shells and aerial bombs to teach the troops stationed in Mongolia how to fight modern wars.

Now there is no central army in the province, and the Jinsui army is honestly shrunk in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Troops at all levels are comrades who trust each other unconditionally, and their synergy is far beyond any theater in the Republic of China, and they can completely play a variety of complex tactics.

Seeming to have thought of something important, Lin Zhonghuo said to the deputy teacher beside him:
"Old Nie, I remember that you have a good relationship with the headmaster Chang of the First Air Division, can you help me contact our Air Force comrades."

"If possible, I hope they can arrange several troops to bomb the entire Pingsui Railway. Whether it is the cavalry group in Baotou or the 26th Division in Zhangjiakou, if they want to attack Datong, they must march through the railway."

"A few more bombings will reduce the casualties of the comrades on the front line. What's more, the devils on the train are easier to bomb than those running on the ground."

After hearing what his partner said, the deputy teacher nodded without thinking.

During the last meeting, the deputy commander-in-chief specifically emphasized that the Jinchaji Military Region can give priority to mobilizing the First Air Division to fight, and bombing along the railway is naturally no problem.

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to the First Division of Kong now."

"Our Air Force has also built a field airport in Datong. If everything goes well, the soldiers should be able to take off within half an hour."

"How about I contact the [-]st Marine Regiment and ask them to make some noise behind the enemy lines, and try to contain a group of enemies as much as possible, which can also reduce the pressure on our military region on the frontal battlefield. Paratroopers wreak havoc behind the enemy lines, then But it's my job!"

"Okay! Then I will trouble you!"

······
Three hours later, the eastern section of Pingsui Railway.

"Captain, is the Eighth Route Army really as powerful as the legend says?"

"I heard that the No. 13 Cavalry Regiment and the No. 70 Tank Regiment were wiped out in the Houtao area by the opposing paratrooper regiment. At that time, Lieutenant General Nishihara almost fainted in the headquarters."

"You said that our attack will be as smooth as it was four years ago."

Hearing the inquiry from his captain, Mitsui Kunio didn't answer immediately.

The fact that the two regiments were wiped out was considered a secret in the cavalry group, and he, as a small commander, was not qualified to know the ins and outs of the matter.

What's more, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, why increase the prestige of the enemy before reaching the battlefield.

After thinking for a moment, the old devil decided to boost morale.He first opened the right side door of the train to look at the scenery of the grassland, then pointed to the sky and said:

"Look, Lieutenant General Nishihara has dispatched a full squadron of escorts so that our wing can reach the battlefield smoothly. This is the first time I have enjoyed such treatment in the ten years since I joined the army."

"In the cargo compartment at the rear, there are 23 Type [-] medium tanks parked, which is one of the assets of our cavalry group."

"Although I have never fought against the so-called Eighth Route Army, I believe that there is no military-level unit in the Republic of China that can withstand the frontal charge of our unit."

"Hi! Thanks for the tip! I'm ashamed of my fear just now!"

Just as the two were looking forward to a bright future, a burst of exclamations suddenly sounded from the nearby carriage.

At the same time, the anti-aircraft guns arranged in the front wagon began to work.The firing sound of the Type [-] high-angle gun seems to be reminding the devils of the presence of enemies.

Mitsui Kunio suddenly felt bad about this situation. He immediately put his head out of the car and looked at the sky with a telescope.

The next scene will definitely be remembered by the little devil for a lifetime.And he finally understood why the train needs fighter jets to escort it, and the car must be equipped with anti-aircraft guns.

I saw three different fighter planes swooping out of the clouds more than 1000 meters in front of the train.

There were a total of 36 aircraft that had never been seen before, and the one at the front of the formation actually had more than 30 stars.They came fiercely and had a clear division of labor. They split into two teams the moment they emerged from the clouds.

One team of Type [-] fighter jets went straight to the escort and killed five of them in just one encounter.

Although the other team only had twelve aircraft, the amount of bombs they carried under their wings sent shivers down the spine of Kunio Mitsui, who had never seen the world.

"What kind of monster is that? Why is that aerial bomb so big!"

Just when the devil was still feeling, the transport train they were riding on suddenly started to brake, and the huge friction noise immediately brought Kunio Mitsui back to reality.

"Pack up your equipment! Each team immediately pack up their equipment and get off the vehicle!"

"Break it into pieces! Scatter in the size of a squadron! Go to the southern grassland and gather again!"

"Artillery Squadron! Chariot Brigade! You must ensure that all weapons are evacuated smoothly! As long as a tank or artillery is damaged! You will all commit seppuku!"
