However, the planned increase in the number of military stations captured by Li Ziyuan was only aimed at one division of the 36th Division. And this 36th division is just one of the many Japanese divisions and regiments that the Japanese army has drawn for this attack on Zhongtiao Mountain. Aside from the map of Jinnan, there are basically no useful things that can provide information for this battle.

However, the Japanese army, which had always been cautious, finally accelerated its deployment after the battle of the Baijin Railway fought by Li Ziyuan, and still started attacking a month in advance. However, although the Japanese attacked a month in advance, and the operation began somewhat hastily, the outcome of the Battle of Nakajo Mountain did not change much.

In other words, Li Ziyuan, a small butterfly, shook its wings. Not only did it fail to change the fate of the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain, but on the contrary, because the North China Front Army was worried about the possibility of leaking the battle plan, it increased the investment of troops, but to a certain extent, it hastened the collapse of the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain.

The battle began on 29 April, and on 31 April, the division of the two armies defending at Nakajo Mountain was completed. In just three days, the entire defense system of Nakajo Mountain completely collapsed. Five days later, the Japanese army seized the various crossings of the Yellow River and completed the inner encirclement of the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain.

The devastation of the Japanese army on the battlefield of Zhongtiao Mountain shook the whole of China. The army of more than 100,000 with a complete defense system was divided and encircled in such a short period of time, and the defense system was completely disrupted. Since the 77 Incident, it was the first time in all the battles on the frontal battlefield.

And in this battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the entire defense system of Zhongtiao Mountain seemed to be transparent in the eyes of the Japanese army. The location of headquarters at all levels is even more exposed. On the first day of the battle, the Japanese destroyed almost the entire communication line of the defenders of Nakajo Mountain. As for the location of the garrison headquarters of Nakajo Mountain, the Japanese army knew even better than their superiors and subordinates.

On 11 May, Li Ziyuan was ordered to rush to the divisional headquarters to attend an operational meeting. At the meeting, the Ludong Military Sub-district conveyed the orders of the headquarters and the military district. The troops of the military region will carry out a certain scale of sabotage operations on Handan Avenue and the Zhengtai Road and Baijin railway lines in order to cope with the Zhongtiao Mountain operation in the First War Zone.

The order given to Li Ziyuan by the military sub-district was that in addition to cooperating with the basic regiment of the sub-division to sabotage the Baijin Railway in Hubei, it was also necessary to do a good job in rescuing the captured friendly prisoners of war who were transferred through Hubei. The divisional commanders and political commissars, who were a little uneasy about Li Ziyuan, talked to Li Ziyuan alone after the meeting. He was asked to be more restrained in wartime, not to always adopt drastic measures, and to pay attention to the policy and discipline of the troops.

As the commander of the independent battalion in each county attending the meeting, he was the only one who was personally instructed by the commander and political commissar, and Li Ziyuan, who was asked to talk, did not feel good. However, Li Ziyuan also understands the hard work of the two chiefs. After leaving the divisional headquarters, Li Ziyuan could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

After attending the combat meeting, when Li Ziyuan returned to Hubei, he returned with Wang Cheng. As for the divisional backbone regiment, it was led by Wang Cheng's political commissar and deputy regiment commander, and then assembled to follow. On the way back to Hubei, the two of them have been discussing the battle situation in Zhongtiao Mountain.

After a long time, Wang Cheng sighed a little: "I have fought a battle for half a lifetime, but the battle situation in Zhongtiao Mountain is a little incomprehensible. 200,000 troops, even if there is a lot of empty food, but these 1780,000 are always available. Although the weapons and equipment are not as good as the Japanese army, they are still much better than ours. ”

"Relying on the favorable terrain of the mountainous area for defense, why was it beaten in such a short time? Although I haven't been to Zhongtiao Mountain, the mountains there are no worse than the Taihang Mountains. The mountainous areas of Shanxi have similar terrain. With the Yellow River at its back, it can be responded by hundreds of thousands of troops in Henan's First War Zone. How can it still be like this? ”

Regarding Wang Cheng's sigh, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said: "Elder, in fact, the battle situation in Zhongtiao Mountain is like this, and I don't feel any surprise. Let's not talk about the big reasons, I'm not qualified to evaluate it yet. But as far as I know of the local details, I am not surprised that Nakajo Mountain was defeated in this battle, and I will only feel surprised if I win. ”

"You also know that in the past year, I have tossed enough about the Hubei pseudo-garrison. While fighting these eight calves, I also mastered something. Wang Tieshi, the captain of the Hubei Puppet Garrison Brigade, in addition to being the captain of the Puppet Garrison Brigade, is also doing smuggling business in private. ”

"A large part of his smuggling business is done with the side of Nakajo Mountain. From there, he smuggled bullets, weapons, opium, and sold grain, Western medicine, and even human beings to that side. I once seized hundreds of Hanyang-made and Gong-made rifles, tens of thousands of bullets, and a batch of grenades in his old nest of Pingchuan. ”

"I learned from the people who captured that guy's men who were smuggling for him, and they even went to the army group over there. Almost all the armies in the entire Nakajo Mountain area had contacts with them. And the little devil's Tegaoke is not blind, this guy can smuggle weapons under the nose of the devil.

"I'm afraid the little devil's secret service is also involved. Of course, the intelligence agencies of the Japanese army were involved, and their minds were more focused on finding out the actual deployment of Zhongtiao Mountain. Coupled with the cooperation of the bribed traitors, I was not surprised by the report from my superiors this time. ”

"The smuggling business is linked to the top level, and it is expected that the Japanese army can feel the command headquarters at all levels over there so clearly, and even the first wave of attacks will be mainly concentrated in the group army and the headquarters at the army level. Besides, people have a clear understanding of the location of your headquarters, and they will come up and defeat your headquarters first. The troops below are uncommanded, and it would be strange if they didn't break up. ”

"Boss, although they are still friendly forces on the surface, we have not been dealing with them for a day or two. The habits of their troops, you are not unclear either.
