Chapter 267: Fishing Skills

Compared with the defeated Ninth Front Army, the actions of the Sixth Front Army were much more brilliant.

They won battle after battle in the central Henan region on the south bank of the Yellow River, and gained confidence by defeating the preserved fruits of the First War Zone.

Most of the main forces of the First War Zone were wiped out in this battle. Except for the defense zone of Luoyi close to the Eighth Route Army, Mengjin was in the hands of the Eighth Route Army and could be quickly rescued, so the Japanese did not dare to move. However, in other areas south of the Yellow River that the Eighth Route Army could not take care of for the time being, the Japanese did not show any mercy and directly launched a strong attack.

After consolidating the situation and results on the south bank of the Yellow River, the main force of the Sixth Front Army, the 11th Army, drew out the 39th Division and the 32th Division, and the th Army drew out the nd Division, and deployed them in the Bianliang area, on the one hand to prevent the Eighth Route Army from moving south, and on the other hand to prepare for a counterattack after the weapons arrived, and to annihilate the Eighth Route Army in the Jizhou area as much as possible.

Completely lift the siege of Jizhou.

Reopen the Pinghan Line.

So for the Japanese, the joys and sorrows on both sides of the Yellow River are different. There is widespread grief north of the Yellow River. Almost ten guard divisions have been wiped out, and more than half of the 200,000-strong army has gone!
On the south bank of the Yellow River, they advanced triumphantly all the way, annihilated more than 100,000 troops of Guosi, and won a complete victory.

The starkly different battle records made it difficult for the Japanese expeditionary force and the headquarters to judge whether they were able to succeed or not.

But there is one conclusion that everyone agrees on, that is, North China cannot be lost, or it cannot be lost completely! This is an absolutely unbearable loss.

Therefore, the second wave of 100,000 new troops are being urgently mobilized, and they will be deployed to the North China battlefield to stabilize the situation!
The Japanese finally faced some realities and no longer viewed North China as a battlefield to be cleared.

The brigade commander had no way of guessing how the Japanese would respond, nor did he pay attention to the changes behind the scenes. For him, the only thing he had to do was to counter the Japanese's moves.

Faced with the new strategy of the General Staff, the brigade commander began a large-scale development of armed work teams behind enemy lines starting from Jizhou, and deployed as many as 8 Type C regiments in the battle for more than ten counties starting from Jizhou.

The mechanized infantry brigade acted as the strongest spear and smashed all the county strongholds occupied by the Japanese.

In just over ten days, the liberation of more than a dozen counties was completed. No county town could withstand the powerful artillery attack of the mechanized infantry brigade.

This enabled the brigade commander's out-of-city development plan to progress rapidly.

According to past experience, the current development plan is divided into two lines, the open and the hidden. On the open side, there are the regular anti-Japanese armed forces of the district squad and the county brigade, which appear in front of the people with an open identity. However, there is another hidden armed work team that continues to secretly recruit members and is not very public.

In this way, even if the Japanese come back again, the main force will have to retreat first, so all the armed forces will not be wiped out in one fell swoop.

There will certainly be traitors leading the open guerrillas, so it will be much more difficult for them to survive. However, as for the other part that is developing secretly, as long as they do not expose themselves on their own initiative, they can continue to fight and will not be wiped out by the Japanese.

Not only did the brigade commander suppress the Japanese's leader in northern Henan, but the division commander also rushed out of the mountainous area and began to actively attack Shimen. He directly devoured most of one of the four Japanese divisions stationed at Shimen, and then rushed into Shimen and began to attack them!
As for the division commander, he understood the strategy of the General Staff very well. After the attack weakened three-quarters of the city defense of Shimen, the division commander also began to fish around Shimen, and at the same time took over all the counties close to the mountains.

For those areas far away from the mountains, armed work teams were also sent out to begin building bases at the village level.

The division commander spent more than a dozen Type B regiments to distribute them.

In a short period of time, more than a dozen counties quietly completed an independent new base combat system, set up multiple teams including county battalions, district squads, village self-defense forces and armed work teams, and combined with the accumulation of previous underground work, the division commander firmly controlled the vast area near Shimen.

One in the south and one in the north, two new bases took shape in a short period of time.

The most important thing is that now the division commanders and brigade commanders can suppress the main force of the Japanese, so for the villages that the Japanese are now unable to radiate, the Eighth Route Army is now developing its power much faster than before. After controlling the local traffic routes, the military region has sufficient confidence in providing logistical support to various places, ensuring that armed forces are built locally and that all personnel have sufficient support with weapons and ammunition.

Each guerrilla had a gun and more than 100 rounds of bullets.

Now it is completely different from when Ren Zhong first came.

After owning the large base in Jin, the production capacity of guns, bullets and artillery far exceeds the national strength of Guoju!
For the lower-class people in the countryside, being given a gun as soon as they come is a very real and intuitive way to demonstrate their strength.

Soon, each village developed a militia self-defense force of about ten people, a platoon-level force organized as a joint defense force of several villages, and the platoon leader was an old soldier sent from the old base.

These people did not stop working, and used the slack season to conduct military training. They were only sent out to fight guerrilla warfare when something happened.

A regular guerrilla force at the company level can be formed based on several platoon-level teams.

In a county like this, it is easy to organize more than a dozen companies.

Now, the Japanese soldiers in Shimen and Jizhou were surrounded in the city and dared not come out again. The Japanese soldiers in other places did not dare to come to rescue at the brigade level. There were several large-scale division-level clusters. Even the Japanese soldiers did not want the situation to deteriorate further, so they drew troops from other places and pressed forward again. Otherwise, the entire North China would be in danger of destruction.

This loosening and releasing was like slipping a fish, and the Japanese slipped away clearly.

The siege teams around the Japanese's major cities were quietly replaced by Type B regiments, freeing up the mechanized infantry brigade to do other things.

With these highly mobile mechanized infantry brigades, the brigade commander in northern Henan can easily control the Japanese strongholds.

The brigade commander was very concerned about the construction of the new base in the controlled area. He almost went all out to send troops to clear the area by force and eliminate all the local Japanese devils, puppet troops, and local martial arts heroes who refused to accept reform.

Ensure that the situation at the grassroots level in villages and towns is almost completely under control, and absolutely no unstable armed forces such as bandits and puppet troops will be left in the local area. If these armed forces do not accept reorganization, the main force will annihilate them.

According to this strategy, the brigade commander in Jizhou and the division commander near Shimen, facing the new base, built it at a very fast speed!
Faced with the Eighth Route Army's encirclement but no attack, the remaining main forces of the Japanese North China and Ninth Front Army were defeated one after another.

A large group of high-ranking Japanese officers were wavering between rescuing and not rescuing the city. Finally, they discovered that the Eighth Route Army did not seem to have any intention of directly taking over the city. After thinking about it over and over again, they were still a little confused about the Eighth Route Army's intentions.

When they were confused about the situation, they chose to observe with the ostrich strategy. After observing for several days, they found that the Eighth Route Army indeed had no intention of attacking. Before the new weapons arrived, they accepted their fate and did not move. Now they just chose to stabilize the opponent as much as possible.

More than half a month later.

"Li Yunlong, I have an important task for you. From now on, the Independent Mechanized Infantry Brigade and the New 1st and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigades must find a way to open up a major channel with the Qilu base, deliver a batch of important military equipment to the Qilu base, improve their combat effectiveness, control more areas of Qilu as soon as possible, and assist the Qilu base in taking over a large port to receive a batch of materials shipped from overseas and transport them back to Shanxi Province."

The brigade commander called Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie together and said with a serious expression.

Nearly a month has passed since Ren Zhong and General Shi's transaction, and now it is time to complete the transaction.

However, this transaction was very important and quite troublesome to deliver. At Ren Zhong's request and with the coordination of General Shi, the Allies sent a fleet to escort the trade items for trading in the northern port.

Under Ren Zhong's influence, the Allied forces launched the Battle of the Marianas and the Battle of Leyte Gulf ahead of schedule, which directly broke the backbone of the Japanese Combined Fleet, completely reducing it to a guard dog and no longer able to compete for supremacy in the ocean.

This allowed the Allied fleet to sail unscrupulously on the seas of East Asia, and the remaining Japanese fleet did not dare to leave the port at all.

Of course, this is also due to the Rogue Eagle's urgency to obtain the technology in Ren Zhong's hands.

Ren Zhong didn't know that this was a huge weight for the Allies to gain a strategic advantage in Europe. After all, the big bear had finally recovered and had beaten the little mustache to the point where he could hardly hold on.

With victory in sight, the rogue eagle on the Allied side now has different thoughts about the rising big bear.

It feels like driving out a wolf from the front door, only to let in a tiger from the back door.

However, the current rogue eagle simply does not have the courage to compete with the Big Bear in this regard as it is increasingly flooding with steel.

Therefore, they urgently need new technical means to narrow the gap or even increase the distance!

As for the two airport attacks planned by Ren Zhong, the Rogue Eagle side spent a lot of effort to verify and research. The top management of the Rogue Eagle was fully aware of the tremendous power of rockets.

Just a few shots can destroy an airport. This power is simply too strong to strike the Steel Tide.

According to this combat mode, it is entirely possible to achieve large-scale killings without bloodshed thousands of miles away!
This kind of fighting style completely opened the eyes of the Rogue Eagle top management.

These tactics are already commonplace to Ren Zhong. In the main world, the use of missiles has long been basic operation and determines the direction of the war.

Because of this, Ren Zhong spent huge amounts of manpower and material resources to develop rocket technology. However, the current guidance method still leaves the accuracy of rocket strikes somewhat unsatisfactory.

Therefore, Ren Zhong has not yet regarded the rocket as the most important strategic weapon, which makes the Rogue Eagles feel that they must complete the transaction before Ren Zhong can react.

After all, in their eyes, an aviation production line and a steam turbine are not equal to a strategic weapon of mass destruction, so some of them are afraid of complications and simply send a fleet to deliver the goods to complete the transaction.
