Chapter 287, 1942

Next chapter

When Lin Yi brought hundreds of war horses, guns, and ammunition back to the station of the Independent Regiment, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were stunned.

Lao Li was even more happy!

Lin Yi actually took a guard platoon and really ate the cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town! And used such a miraculous means to transport back hundreds of war horses and equipment!

Political commissar Zhao Gang looked at Lin Yi, led the guards to go out for "activities", and then got such a war horse and equipment back, and he was also full of shock.

In any case, the Independent Regiment has made a fortune!

The next few days were quieter.

Lao Li got hundreds of horses and equipment and began to expand the troops, first of all, to form a cavalry battalion.

After the last battle of Yangcun, the soldiers of the independent regiment had already lost a lot of troops, but this time the expansion, the name "Li Yunlong" played a great role.

As soon as they heard that it was "Li Yunlong" who defeated the Bantian United and killed the old devil of Bantian, the people nearby rushed to join Lao Li's troops and follow Lao Li to fight the devil.

Li Yunlong was expanding his troops and forming a cavalry battalion, and Lin Yi was not idle.

He took the fighters of the guard platoon and began the training of the "special forces".

It was not the first time for him to train soldiers, and at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms World, those soldiers were also trained as special forces. This time, there are more veterans of the army such as Xia Xuan and Chen Long as deputies, and they are even more handy in training.

By this time, it was already 1942.

The Sino-Japanese war entered a phase of stalemate, and the two ** teams of China and Japan fought on the battlefield for four or five years, and there were dozens of battles of all sizes.

North China, which is behind enemy lines, is extremely severe.

Although the Japanese occupied the towns along the railway line and seemed to have the strategic upper hand, the living forces of the Chinese army were not destroyed, and only most of the He-Bei and Shan-Xi provinces remained under the control of the Chinese army.

For example, the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment in the northwest of Shanxi is one of them.

The Kuomintang-People-Party Central Army, Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army, and the Eighth Route Army each opened up their own base areas.

This was very gratifying to Chairman Chiang, who was sitting in Chongqing, and he believed that his strategic idea of exchanging space for time had been verified in a certain way, and no matter how big Shekou was, it would not be able to swallow an elephant!

But Chairman Chiang soon lost his optimism.

Two years ago, that is, in 1940, after the Battle of the 100 Regiments of the Eighth Route Army in North China, Chairman Chiang suddenly discovered that in the past few years, the Eighth Route Army had grown into 400,000 people without paying attention, and the regular army alone had mobilized 105 regiments.

Chairman Chiang only remembered that on the troop formation table of the Military Commission of the Kuomintang-Nationalist Government, the Eighth Route Army was only a unit with several tens of thousands of troops under the jurisdiction of three divisions and six brigades.

Mother Xipi, who gave them the power to expand?

As soon as Chairman Chiang was unhappy, the issue became somewhat complicated.

As a result, internal friction and warfare broke out in the Huaxia army, with the old army and the new army of the Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan fighting each other, and the Eighth Route Army and the Zhu Huaibing division of the National-Civilian-Party Army in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region fighting inextricably in the Taihang Mountains, which made the Japanese army look at it as a joke.

After a year of chaos, that is, this year, in 1942, the friction within the Chinese army gradually calmed down.

The friction war within the Chinese army tended to calm down, and it was the turn of the Japanese army to have a hard time, and North China, which was the strategic rear of the Japanese army, seemed to be in chaos.

The Eighth Route Army, which had long since left the frontal battlefield, no longer planned to organize one or two regular battles, but disappeared into pieces and disappeared into the vast plains and continuous lofty mountains.

The Japanese Army, which advocated decisive battles with the main force, lost its opponents and was constantly surrounded by opponents, and the power of guerrilla warfare, which had always been looked down upon by the regular army, was gradually revealed.

The Japanese North China Dispatch Army could not withstand the attrition of the long war, and poured out its forces and prepared to start a sweep......

As a traverser, Lin Yi naturally knew that the devil's sweep was about to begin, especially after he heard Lao Li mention the results of the last "Hundred Regiments Battle".

He naturally knew the famous "Battle of the Hundred Regiments", and he had studied it in textbooks when he was in elementary school!

This was a large-scale sabotage operation carried out by the Eighth Route Army against the Japanese army in North China in the summer of 1940.

After 1940, while intensifying the inducement of the Kuomintang-Kuomintang-Party to surrender, Japan also intensified its "rectification" crusade against the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, in an attempt to completely destroy the anti-Japanese base areas.

In order to smash the Japanese army's plot, break its "cage policy," and overcome the danger of compromise and surrender by the Kuomintang-Kuomintang-Party diehards, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in North China took advantage of the rainy season to launch this large-scale sabotage operation against the Japanese army.

The Eighth Route Army participated in the battle with 105 regiments of about 200,000 troops, so it was called the "Battle of 100 Regiments", and the main intention of this campaign was to break the Japanese army's communication lines in North China.

The battle of the 100 regiments that Lin Yi heard from Lao Li's mouth was even clearer, in three and a half months, the Eighth Route Army fought more than 1,800 battles of all sizes, killing and wounding more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 5,000 puppet soldiers.

More than 280 Japanese soldiers and more than 18,000 puppet soldiers were captured.

More than 900 miles of railways and 3,000 miles of highways were destroyed.

258 bridges and stations were destroyed, and large quantities of weapons and military materiel were seized.

Judging from the number of Japanese troops annihilated, the Battle of 100 Regiments launched by the Eighth Route Army alone was no less than the results of the winter offensive against Japan launched by Lao Chiang in 1939 when 71 divisions in 10 theaters across the country were deployed.

If the number of puppet armies annihilated is added, the results of the Eighth Route Army are still higher than the number of enemies annihilated by the entire Nationalist Army in the winter offensive. It is precisely because of this that the political status of the Eighth Route Army has been improved, as well as its international status.

Although Li Yunlong knew much more about the specific situation of the "Hundred Regiments War" than Lin Yi, Lin Yi knew more than him!

At the very least, Li Yunlong didn't know that the little devils were going to carry out a big sweep next.

Lin Yi had already told Lao Li about the little devil's going to carry out a sweep, and asked Lao Li to report it, so that the troops of the Eighth Route Army could prepare in advance.

Where did this "intelligence" come from, Lin Yi didn't tell Lao Li, but Lao Li said he believed him!

Besides, it's better to believe this kind of thing than to believe it, and it's always right to make some preparations.

This sweep is no better than the last "Yang Village" incident, the last "Yang Village" incident, not long after Lin Yi crossed over, he was a new member of the Eighth Route Army, and he was soft-spoken, and he couldn't bear the affairs of the Japanese special squad.

Therefore, he did not inform Kong Jie, the previous head of the independent regiment, and he didn't know Kong Jie at that time!

At this moment, Lin Yi led the soldiers of the guard platoon he had trained to a place.

It's only a dozen miles away from Qingshui Town, which has a garrison of devils and an arsenal! )
