Chapter 249: Straight into Texas

The Japanese puppet army between Dongguang and Cangxian was busy chasing and annihilating the Fourth Regiment and the Yanshan Independent Regiment commanded by Huang Hua, and the Japanese puppet army in Dezhou City was busy chasing and annihilating the Wudi Independent Regiment and the Deping Independent Regiment commanded by Hu Qingyun.

This vacuum, in the eyes of military strategists, has become the entry point of the attack!

After Xiao Siming and Huo Cheng led the main force of the eastward advance detachment to leave Leling, they traveled covertly along the road from Leling to Deping. After arriving at the Deping border, it advanced southwest along the junction of Deping and Ningjin, and arrived at the junction of Lingxian and Dezhou.

It was not until May 25 that it was confirmed that the Japanese puppet army was successfully mobilized on the north and south fronts, and that it was impossible for the Japanese army to rush back to Texas for reinforcements within a few hours, that Xiao Siming issued a battle order to the troops to seize Texas.

This is the first combat order issued by Xiao Siming after the expansion of the eastward advance detachment!

In the order, Xiao Siming wrote passionately: "After the Japanese army captured Xuzhou, its attempt to encircle and annihilate the main force of our Fifth Theater failed. Among them, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army made a detour of thousands of miles to capture the Lanfeng area, in an attempt to cut off the connection between the Fifth Theater and the First Theater, and was besieged by our Eastern Henan Corps, and the two sides are currently in a fierce battle. Judging from the current situation, although our eastern Henan Corps has 120,000 elites, several times larger than the Japanese army, the 14th Division of the Japanese army belongs to the permanent division of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness is strong, and it has the air support and air cover of the Japanese army. Once the main force of the Japanese army marched east to capture Kaifeng and Zheng County, it could quickly move south along the Pinghan Road, and Wuhan would be exposed to the Japanese artillery. Wuhan is currently the anti-Japanese command center of the whole country, with a large number of military supplies in reserve, and many organs, schools, and factories have gathered, and it is too late to transfer them. Once the Japanese army moves south to attack Wuhan at this time, the main force of the Nationalist Army will not have time to return to defend Wuhan, and the Japanese army will soon be able to successfully capture Wuhan, and the situation of China's War of Resistance will be extremely critical.

At this critical juncture of national peril, every Chinese and every Chinese soldier must stand up and build a great wall of steel with our flesh and blood, stop the Japanese army's frantic southward march, and turn the tide from falling! Even if we die, we will also fall on the way to the charge and die facing the guns of the Japanese army! Never be a turtle with a shrunken head! Never be a slave to the country!

This time, our army went south from Leling, and the purpose was to capture Texas!

Since ancient times, Dezhou has been the granary of the Yellow River and the canal, and the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have set up large warehouses for storing grain here. Rice from the south of the Yangtze River, wheat from Suzhou, Anhui and Henan, and grain and cotton from Shandong and Hebei all have to be transferred here. In particular, after the construction of the Jinpu Railway and the Jiaoji Railway, Dezhou has become a transportation hub for connecting railways, highways, canals and water transportation, and its strategic position is very important. After occupying North China, Shandong, and Shanxi, due to Dezhou's special strategic pivotal status, the Japanese army established military stations and garrison areas in Dezhou, turning Dezhou into an important strategic fulcrum and supply base connecting Shandong in the east, Shanxi in the west, and Pingjin in the north. In the city of Dezhou, there are snow-white rice and white flour transported from Japan, Korea, and Northeast China, and there are truckloads of weapons and ammunition transported in ships. As long as Dezhou is taken, the elite troops of the Japanese North China Front attacking eastern Henan, northern Jiangsu, and northern Anhui will face difficulties in ammunition supply and food supply, and they will not be able to attack quickly!

Our army's capture of Dezhou is to shake the Japanese army, and then mobilize the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese army to stop the pace of attack and return to North China!

The key to whether or not we can achieve this goal lies in whether our army is fierce and ruthless! Therefore, the whole detachment must bravely make a surprise attack, fiercely pursue it, make achievements in our army's rectification and training, display the prestige of our army's invincibility and overwhelm all strong enemies, and show the confidence that the Chinese people will win the war of resistance! ”

This combat order is very standardized, and it stipulates in detail the marching routes, the time of attack, and the targets of each unit. Among them, the artillery regiment, the heavy machine gun battalion, the engineer battalion, and the armored battalion were divided into three parts, which were assigned to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments respectively, forming three combat clusters.

It stands to reason that Xiao Siming should not use the artillery regiment, heavy machine gun battalion, and armored battalion separately, which is not conducive to the formation of attack arrows. However, at this time, Dezhou City was basically an empty city, and the Japanese puppet army was originally stationed in Dezhou City, and now it was led by Hu Qingyun to wander around Lingxian County, and the Japanese puppet army guarding the city was very small. At the same time, the just-concluded Leling training, the training is infantry artillery coordination, infantry and tan coordination, Xiao Siming is bent on tempering an invincible anti-Japanese iron army, naturally he will not let go of such an opportunity to temper the troops. Therefore, the armored battalion, artillery regiment, and heavy machine gun battalion, which were supposed to be used intensively, were divided and used.

What Xiao Siming wants is that the combat effectiveness of the first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment go hand in hand!

In addition to these three battle groups, Xiao Siming also organized a small battle group, and transferred a Gaoping dual-purpose gun, a Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun, and two 92 infantry guns, mainly cavalry battalions, and an infantry company from each of the 123rd Regiment, which was under the command of Huo Cheng to attack the Japanese army's Dezhou airfield.

In fact, Xiao Siming's plan in his heart is that this battle will be divided into four steps, the first step is to mobilize the Japanese puppet army in Dezhou and Cangzhou, and the expected goal has been achieved; The second step is to capture Texas, evacuate Texas, and let the Japanese army hurt to the bone marrow! In the third step, after capturing Dezhou, our army went out of Dezhou to meet the Japanese puppet army that returned to aid Dezhou, and then marched eastward along the Jinpu Road and Highway, swept the counties along the railway and highway, controlled the Luokou Yellow River Bridge in Jinan, and put on a position to recover Jinan, further shaking and mobilizing the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese elite divisions to quickly return to Jinan and fight for Dezhou. If the Japanese army still refuses to send enough divisions and regiments back to help at this time, our army will go north along the Jinpu Road, cooperate with our army in southern and central Hebei, quickly recover Wuqiao, Dongguang, Nanpi, Cangxian, and Qingxian, and threaten Pingjin.

If the battle is fought to the end, and the Japanese army can still hold on to the death and not return to North China, it will be really strange, and the Japanese army will not be the Japanese army!

Xiao Siming did not say in the battle order that the most fundamental reason why he wanted to capture Deping was to avoid the great tragedy of the Nationalist Army from opening the entrance to the garden and repelling the enemy with water, causing a great tragedy in the Yellow Flood Area. He can't be a god, and he can't reveal such secrets. Besides, even if he said it, no one would believe it. You must know that in history, after Chiang Kai-shek ordered to open the Huayuankou, the first war zone that carried out the order knew very well the bitterness of having to open the Huayuankou, and at the same time knew the great sin, so it immediately created a false impression and pushed the Japanese army to blow up the embankment of the Yellow River caused by the opening of the Huayuankou, saying that it was the Japanese military plane that blew up the embankment of the Yellow River at the mouth of the garden, causing the Yellow River to burst. When the reporters went to Huayuankou to inspect the site, the First War Zone also sent sappers to pretend to put up a rescue position at the point where the embankment was broken, and as soon as the reporters left, the sappers withdrew. It was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that the Nationalist Government organized the construction of the Yellow River to return to its original course, and also erected a monument to commemorate it at the original site, which was engraved with Chairman Chiang's article and name, which was done seamlessly.

The truth about the Huayuankou embankment burst was only revealed after the Kuomintang was defeated and retreated to Taiwan.

At this time, don't say that Xiao Siming won't say what hasn't happened yet, even if he says it, no one will believe it, so he can only fall into the infamy of spreading rumors to confuse the public and sabotage the Anti-Japanese War!

This is all off-topic that can't be said to people, Xiao Siming naturally won't say it, just work hard!

As soon as the battle order was given, in an instant, the storm suddenly rose, and the main force of the eastward advance detachment, which was originally hidden and waiting, moved, the wheels rolled, and the sound of horses' hooves went straight to Texas!

Not only did the main force move, but the front team behind the main force also moved!

This time, Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui were determined to evacuate Dezhou and thoroughly solve the problem of food for the troops and various organs, and mobilized a huge number of front-supporting teams from Ningjin, Leling, Qingyun, Wudi, Yangxin, and Yanshan, including horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, donkey carts, trolleys, mulberry flat tans, and baskets.

The number of mobilized migrant workers was too large, so Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui ordered the military and political school in the Jilu border to suspend classes, and all the trainees formed a cadre team, which was uniformly distributed by the detachment's logistics department and served as leading cadres in each front team.

Yan Rou is also in the front team.

This girl, since she became the Eighth Route Army and went to the Jilu Border Military and Political School, she no longer puts on the shelf of the eldest lady of the Yan family, she wears the military uniform of the Eighth Route Army, her hair is combed into two long black and shiny braids, with a thin waist and long body, slim and elegant, and she looks very sassy and heroic.

Unlike other cadres, Yan Rou walked in the previous team, in addition to taking care of the villagers and directing the villagers to march, her mind had already flown to Xiao Siming, and her mind was full of where Xiao Siming was now? Is it on horseback or on foot with a machine gun? Texas City is so strong, did Xiao Siming figure out the enemy's situation, why did he suddenly dare to attack Texas?

Walking, thinking, and then Yan Rou herself laughed silently. Thinking about Xiao Siming, since I met her on Taiyuan Road, which time was not bold and careful? What did he want to do, and when did he not do it? What is the little Texas, isn't Taiyuan City still allowing Xiao Siming to go straight in and out? The Japanese army's Taiyuan Airport was so heavily guarded, was Xiao Siming's department still destroyed? It is Tianjin, the place where the Japanese army was first garrisoned, and where there are concessions of various countries, didn't Xiao Siming also take her for a walk?

At the thought of Tianjin's trip, Yan Rou couldn't help but blush and heartbeat, and her body was also hot. It seems that she is riding with Xiao Siming again, hugging Xiao Siming's waist, the fullness of her chest collides and rubs on Xiao Siming's back, and her whole body is soft.

For a while, Yan Rou, who was marching, the beautiful Yan Rou, and the beautiful Yan Rou, only felt that her snort was heavy, her breath was short, her legs and feet were weak, and she couldn't walk anymore! (To be continued.) )
