Autumn 1943!
When the Independent Regiment of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division of the Taiyue Military Region was in the joy of just winning the battle from top to bottom, it did not know that a huge sweeping circle was coming!
At the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army in Taiyuan, a middle-aged Japanese soldier with a handful of hair under his nose and a group of officers were discussing something in front of a huge map! And behind them is the meeting note-taker! They're also writing!
"Your Excellency Commander, if this plan is implemented and started, then the troops in the Taiyue area of the Eighth Route Army will be completely wiped out! At that time, we will completely unify the Taiyue region, and at that time, there will be no armed forces that are the opponent of our great Japan! A Japanese major general said to the middle-aged man!
"Hmph, this time, I want to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army in the Taiyue region, even if I can't eliminate it, I want them to have no courage to fight against the imperial army!"
"Order, the 37th, 62nd, and 69th Divisions and the Imperial * Army all march towards the Taiyue base of the Eighth Route Army! Completely wipe out this Eighth Route Army unit, and establish a mountain suppression gong (self-experience) experimental area as soon as possible! ”
"Hey!" A kind of officer's unified reply to!
"Well, let's go down and prepare!!" The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, and then said!
This middle-aged man is Koichiro Matsuura, commander of the First Army of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army!
And the plan he just made was the famous "iron rolling" sweep!!
Report !! When the independent regiment was still celebrating, a correspondent ran to the head of the regiment Liu and saluted, and then said!
"Say!" Head Liu raised his head and glanced at this correspondent and said!
"The brigade headquarters urgently telegraphed, in the near future, the Japanese army will launch a large-scale sweep in our Taiyue area, the specific combat method is not yet clear, but it is definitely a battle related to the life and death of the Eighth Route Army in our Taiyue area! The brigade headquarters ordered us, cancel the rest, and all combat units were put into combat condition and transferred at any time! ”
"Non-combatants, evacuate as soon as possible!"
The signal soldier hurriedly said!
"Damn, this little devil is really not at ease for a moment, he wants to swallow the troops in my Taiyue and Taiyue regions in one bite!" The political commissar said after listening!
"Hehe, it's been so long, I've been used to it for a long time, if the little devil doesn't come out to make trouble one day, I'm not used to it, I want to get used to them!" Head Liu said jokingly!
"Alright, you go down! We will make a battle plan as quickly as possible! Head Liu turned his head to the correspondent and said!
After listening to this, the correspondent turned his head and left!
"Xiao Qian, immediately notify the cadres above the platoon level to come to the headquarters for a meeting!" After the correspondent left, Regiment Leader Liu said to the guards beside him!
"Let's go, let's go and study what tricks the little devil is going to play this time!" After the guards left, Regiment Commander Liu said to the political commissar!
After saying that, the two of them walked towards the headquarters!
At the same time, all the units of the Eighth Route Army in the Taiyue area held a unified combat meeting! Countless telegraph signals were exchanged in the sky above the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Taiyue area!
All commanders know it. This battle is not so easy to fight, if you are not careful, you will let yourself and your troops fall into the abyss, and you will be eaten by devils without even bones!
At this moment, in the regimental headquarters of the 377th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, all the officers and intelligence officers are urgently collecting the combat methods of the Japanese army!
"Report, regimental seat, according to the information we sent back from the inside line of the puppet army unit! This time, the Japanese army dispatched the 37th, 62nd, and 69th divisions and the puppet army, with a total of more than 20,000 plainclothes troops, in the form of three echelons, in a depth of 20 kilometers in three lines, like an iron rolling to sweep the base area of the Taiyue area of the Eighth Route Army! The commander-in-chief this time seems to be Koichiro Matsuura" A major took a piece of paper from the communicator's hand, looked at it, and then walked up to a lieutenant colonel and said!
"Oh, the little devil has a lot of appetite! Who are you talking about? Koichiro Matsuura personally commanded? The lieutenant colonel asked!
The major glanced at the paper in his hand and replied, "Yes, it's this Koichiro Matsuura!" The commander of the First Army of the North China Dispatch Army! ”
"Hehe, it's lively now, this Eighth Route Army has stabbed a hornet's nest, right? Even Koichiro Matsuura went into battle in person? The lieutenant colonel said with a smile!
"Immediately, forward this telegram to the Second Theater Commander's Department, and ask them to forward it to the Supreme Command of the Eighth Route Army!" After laughing, the lieutenant colonel hurriedly said!
"Yes"! The major saluted and walked away!
The lieutenant colonel looked at the map in front of him and said to himself: "If you were our own troops, how good it would be, Zheng would be able to support you in a bright way!"
