Chapter 697: Battle of the Hundred Regiments

Madame said: "Where you catch fire, Qin Feng will rush with the troops, what is not your fire brigade?" ”

The chairman rolled his eyes and glanced at Madame, and did not answer her question, he knew that Madame defended Qin Feng everywhere, and he also knew Madame's calculations, but he couldn't control the person, how could Madame be able to hold on to it, but it didn't discourage her enthusiasm, after all, Madame could still play a good role in lubricating between the two of them at a critical moment.

By the sixth day of the first lunar month, the special operations division returned to the Lishui base as scheduled, and Qin Feng only gave Zhang Xiang five or two days to rest and recuperate, and the troops would immediately leave for Yunnan.

During this period, Murong Youheng and Kai Li have arrived in Kunming on Qin Feng's special plane, and will return to the United States in a few days, taking with them the drawings of the Mustang fighter jet, Qin Feng did not expect it to be sold for a good price, just as a gift to the US government, in order to increase the friendship between China and the United States, anyway, even if this Mustang is not sent by themselves, they will develop it immediately, rather than when they say that they have stolen their results, it is better to sell their favors now, at least to improve Murong Youheng's status in the eyes of the US government, It's going to be easier. Of course, Qin Feng only provided drawings for this period, and all the materials for the upgraded version were mentioned.

More than 10,000 student soldiers who were registered as laborers also began to go to Kunming one after another after emergency mobilization, and in order to hurry, Qin Feng used the transport cars of the World Trade Company, plus some cars of his own troops, to quickly transport them to Kunming. After arriving in Kunming, Yunnan Provincial Chairman Long Tian organized a vehicle to send them to Yangon Port via the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and then Murong Youheng came forward to coordinate with the US Government to use US ships to transport them to the United States.

After the special operations division left the Lishui base, the huge transportation work also began, and hundreds of vehicles began to nervously travel back and forth between Lishui and Baoshan, first digging machines, steel, cement, and other equipment, and then dismantling parts of various planes and tanks.

Two months later, the special operations division arrived in Baoshan on foot, and with the help of tens of thousands of laborers recruited by Yunnan Provincial Chairman Long Tianzao, it began to build factories and assembly workshops in the mountainous areas near Baoshan.

Of course, the special operations division is only responsible for the security work in the area, and the construction is still left to the engineer engineer who built the fort at the Lishui base. All the workshops, workshops, barracks, and headquarters of the Baoshan base will continue the style of the Lishui base, all underground.

It is planned that all projects will be completed within one year, and one will be put into use when one is built, and no time and resources will be wasted. At the same time, the training of special operations divisions was also carried out in batches.

By the end of August, the first batch of aircraft and tank parts from the Lishui base had arrived in Baoshan and entered the assembly workshop for assembly, and it is expected that 20 Mustang planes, 30 Tiger tanks, and 50 Cobra helicopters will be assembled.

Due to the limitation of the volume of transportation, only one regiment of the armored brigade entered Baoshan as scheduled, and the other three regiments are still stationed at the base, and it is expected to leave for Baoshan again next year, because the first batch of Tiger tanks has only 30 units, which is barely enough to equip one regiment.

After the Battle of Quzhou, in the past 10 months, the Japanese army has not organized a single frontal attack on the southwest, except for a few slightly larger sabotage battles organized by the Hurricane Detachment and the New Fourth Army in the enemy's defense area, and there have been almost no battles in the entire southwest direction.

The Japanese army and even the nearby New Fourth Army cherished this short opportunity to recuperate and did everything possible to train the troops and strengthen themselves.

The 11th Army of the Japanese Army in Wuhan, since the new commander Kiyoshi Kazuki took office, insisted on practicing the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" skill, even if the New Fourth Army and the Hurricane Detachment harassed and sabotaged their defense areas around Huangshan and Jingdezhen several times, and even wedged into their defense areas to fight their ambushes and rob their supplies, they could not bear it, but this forbearance was only aimed at Qin Feng's occupied areas.

In North China, Okamura Ningji, who had been sitting on the cold bench for half a year, went out of the mountain again and was exceptionally reused, serving as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Front, more than a year earlier than the time when he ascended to the throne in history.

Since the outbreak of World War, Japan has been isolated internationally as never before. Under the conditions of scarcity of materials, prolonged war, depletion of military stockpiles, depletion of military resources, and lack of labor, the Japanese army's dependence on North China increased day by day. In North China, rich resources and vast manpower were scattered in the countryside, and the countryside was in the hands of the GCD Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese army in North China controlled only a few points and a few lines like a morning star. Therefore, the base camp of the Japanese army once again looked at Okamura Ningji's Qingxiang plan, and also felt that this plan was very suitable for the North China battlefield, after all, the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army and Qin Feng were not at the same level, and it was not possible to deal with Qin Feng, but it must be more than enough to deal with the Eighth Route Army, which led to Okamura Ningji's advance ascension.

This time, Okamura Ningji regained his position with the hat of wearing the hat of meritorious service, summed up his experience in several defeats given to him by Qin Feng, improved the plan to clear the countryside again, adjusted his tactics, and formulated the "Huairou Policy", "Encroachment Policy" and "Cage Policy" for the occupied areas.

The so-called "Huairou policy" was to induce the common people to be pro-Japanese in the occupied areas, but those who were pro-Japanese could not only get food and money, but also gain the respect of the imperial army and enjoy the same treatment as Japanese expatriates. As for the anti-Japanese armed forces, as long as they surrender to sincerity, they will not be investigated for past affairs, and they will be promised high-ranking officials.

The so-called "encroachment policy" refers to the use of pillboxes and barbed wire in the occupied areas to gradually shrink and suppress the living space of anti-Japanese elements, so that anti-Japanese elements of various forces have nothing to hide and have nothing to rely on, so as to achieve the goal of extermination.

The "cage policy" was to divide and encircle the anti-Japanese base areas and sweep them repeatedly.

I have to say that Okamura Ningji's poisonous schemes are quite powerful and very self-aware. After last year's emergency conscription, the Japanese army transferred 30 divisions and regiments from the Japanese mainland, plus the original 300,000 Kwantung Army, and the Japanese garrison in North China had reached more than 700,000 at this time. However, relying on these more than 700,000 Japanese soldiers alone, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to rule all the vast northeastern regions, and as soon as Okamura Ningji's poisonous plan came out, coupled with the Wang puppet government and the provisional government of Wang Kemin in the northeast, countless Kuomintang armed forces behind enemy lines, doorway armed forces, bandit armed forces, etc., when their survival was threatened, they all changed their course under the banner of saving the country with curves. There was even Cai Xiongfei, the commander of a division of the Jin Sui Army, who led a division of troops to surrender to Wang's puppet government, and Qi Xieyuan, a remnant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, took the opportunity to set up the North China Appeasement Army in North China, under the jurisdiction of 12 group armies, and recklessly recruited these surrendered troops, and by the end of August, the strength of the army had reached a terrifying 500,000 people.

This round of the wave of Japanese surrender not only dealt an impact on the Kuomintang's base areas behind enemy lines, but also was an unprecedented test for the Eighth Route Army, and its living space was extremely seriously damaged.

Originally, the Japanese army began to decline in the second half of last year, although the regular war against North China has not stopped, but the intensity is not large, and the Eighth Route Army has also developed rapidly during this period, and in the same period of history, the number of formal troops in the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army is about 400,000, but now it is more than 500,000, and this does not include the unofficial armed forces such as county brigades and district squads.

After the arrival of Okamura Ningji, this series of heavy punches simply made the Eighth Route Army breathless. The Japanese army and the puppet army used railways and highways as pillars to carry out frequent sweeps against the Japanese base areas, and attempted to cut off the ties between the strategic areas of Taihang and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, and carried out the so-called "cage policy" of "using railways as pillars, highways as chains, and pillboxes as locks." The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army decided to launch a traffic sabotage war, focusing on the Zhengtai Railway and the northern section of the Tongpu Road, so as to deal a powerful blow to the Japanese North China Front. In the North China communication line, the Zhengtai Railway occupies a very important position, it crosses the Taihang Mountain, is the link connecting the Pinghan and Tongpu railways, is one of the important strategic transportation lines of the Japanese army in North China, the offensive campaign of the Eighth Route Army was first launched in the Zhengtai Railway.

In more than a month, under the command of General Peng, the Eighth Route Army mobilized nearly 200 regiments and regiments to launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese puppet army on a front several kilometers long in North China, uprooting the enemy's pillboxes and strongholds close to the base areas, blowing up railways, bridges, and highways, and countless others, completely paralyzing the Japanese army's lines of communication and also dealing a heavy blow to the puppet army that had just surrendered, annihilating the Japanese puppet army up to 150,000 people, and seizing countless weapons, which also played a role in curbing the tide of the Japanese surrender. This is the famous Battle of the Hundred Regiments.

The chairman of the committee was shocked, and immediately broke out into a thunderous rage, and even scolded more than a dozen words of "Niang Xipi" and still did not understand his hatred, and a table of documents and teacups were swept away by him, which frightened the generals and staff officers of the headquarters into silence.

After the GCD Long March, there were only more than 20,000 people left, and after cooperation, the reorganized Eighteenth Group Army, but the establishment of the B Division of the three divisions, six brigades and twelve regiments, a total of less than 40,000 people, in less than three years now, has actually reached 200 regiments, and can eat more than 100,000 horses of the Japanese puppet army in one go. This makes the chairman of the NPC National Committee, who has always advocated that "if you go outside, you must first secure the inside," how can you not be angry.

Because of the chairman's anger, the atmosphere in the entire command headquarters was tense for a while, and after a long time, Admiral He sighed and said worriedly: "Now that the Japanese army is in decline, I think it's time to free up my hands and cut their wings?" ”

"Cut their wings? How to cut it, do you want us to self-destruct the contract and fight with them in this extraordinary time? Chen Chengdao.

Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of general staff, took Chen Cheng's words and said: "It's not appropriate for us to do it ourselves, but if we borrow someone else's hand, it's okay?" ”

"Lending someone else's hand? Whose hand to borrow? When the chairman heard this, he was immediately moved, and his face looked much better.

"By the hands of devils, of course!" Bai Chongxi replied affirmatively: "The devils have just suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it is certain that they have resentment, and they will definitely have to find some face from them, if we find someone to communicate with the Japanese army, as long as the Japanese army is willing to exterminate the Eighth Route Army with all its might, we will not only sit idly by, but also contribute to it, I think the Japanese army will definitely like to hear it." ”

"Well, that's a good plan!" The chairman nodded, then turned to Dai Li and said: "Yunong, this matter will be handled by you, you immediately contact the military command stations in Nanjing and Beiping, and ask them to send people to contact Wang Kemin in Beiping and Wang Jingwei in Nanjing, and ask them to talk to the Japanese about this matter!" ”

"Okay, take a seat! I'll arrange it right away. However, the Japanese army in central China may not take action against the New Fourth Army, especially the New Fourth Army in the Zhejiang and Jiangxi areas, which is simply growing stronger and stronger under the wings of Qin Feng, I heard that the New Fourth Army in the area of Guangjing Gangshan is stationed in a regiment, but the strength has exceeded the scale of 10,000 people, this is simply ignoring the leader's orders, seriously expanding privately, I think, it is time to teach them a lesson? Dai Li's face was gloomy.
