During the Republic of China, Luoyang City has long lost the grandeur of the imperial capital of the past nine dynasties, and it is dilapidated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In 1932, the Japanese devils launched the "One-Two? 8. "After the Shanghai Incident, in order to prevent the Japanese army from attacking and harassing Nanjing along the river, the Nationalist Government once moved the capital to Luoyang. However, when I went to Luoyang, the city was dilapidated, and there was not even a flush toilet, so Chairman Jiang took a look here and left, but the old man Lin Sen, chairman of the National Government, had lived in Luoyang for a long time and had done a few practical things for Luoyang.

This time, in order to command the Battle of Lanfeng, Chairman Chiang personally went to Luoyang, where the headquarters of the commander of the First Theater was located, and lived in the barracks built by Wu Peifu, where the commander's headquarters was located.

When the guards informed Cheng Qian's request to see him, Chairman Jiang had already gone to bed.

The war was urgent, and Chairman Chiang, who received the report, immediately put on his clothes and got up.

Although Chairman Chiang used to hang out in Shanghai, he is now the leader of a country, and he and his wife advocate the New Life Movement, and they still attach great importance to their own majesty as leaders. No, when Cheng sneaked in, Chairman Jiang was already well-groomed and sitting behind his desk.

Cheng Qian handed over the telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and Chairman Jiang took the telegram and motioned for Cheng Qian to sit down, and then read it silently.

After reading the telegram, Chairman Jiang stood up, his eyes were cold, and he stared at Cheng Qian: "What do you think of Brother Song?" ”

Cheng Qian is five years older than Committee Member Jiang and is a father and father, and Chairman Jiang still respects him very much.

Cheng Qianzi said carefully: "After the Ziya River Bridge of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, the supplies that the Japanese army transported from the Pingjin area to the front line should have been transported to Dezhou by canal and road, and then transported south by train. The sudden occupation of Dezhou by the Eighth Route Army was a great support for our army's Longhai Road operation. Now that the Japanese army is concentrated in the Xuhuai area, and the rear is empty, if the Eighth Route Army can further expand the results of the battle, it can play a great role in containing the Japanese army. The best outcome was to force the Japanese army to stop advancing west along the Longhai Road and return to the division to fight for Texas. ”

Chairman Jiang asked a little suspiciously: "Does it have such a big effect?" ”

Cheng Qian didn't dare to speak too slowly, thought about it, and replied: "If you use it well, it will definitely play a big role." It's just that we don't know who the commander of this unit of the Eighth Route Army is, and we don't know how he had the courage to capture Texas. He thought that the top priority at the moment was to send a report to Zhu Yujie, commend and encourage, and strictly order the Eighth Route Army not to withdraw from Dezhou at will, but to seize the prestige of Dezhou, expand the results of the battle, and threaten Jinan. In this way, the Japanese army is bound to withdraw its troops from eastern Henan to secure Jinan and fight for Dezhou! ”

Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, has the word jade rank, so Cheng Qian uses the word boss when he calls Commander-in-Chief Zhu.

Chairman Jiang sat back at his desk, thought for a moment, and said to Cheng Qian: "The Eighth Route Army is not a small force, and when they attacked and occupied Lianzhen Railway Station last time, they reported that it was Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui who led this army. These two people are unknowns, not fierce generals in the Red Bandit period. At most, they were regiment commanders and battalion commanders during the Red Bandit period. However, this unit is indeed very capable of fighting, and is accustomed to sneak attacks, and the results are not small. However, we should not trust them too much, because the Communist Party's guerrilla warfare, which is called guerrilla warfare, is actually to go behind enemy lines to seize territory and expand its strength. They will fight if they can win, and leave if they can't win, and it is unreliable to rely on them to stick to Texas to attract the Japanese army back to North China! I dare to conclude that as long as there is a slight disturbance, the Eighth Route Army that captured Texas will run away with oil on the soles of its feet. We can't expect too much from them, and we can't pin the hope of the Longhai Road battle on the containment of the Eighth Route Army! The real battle is still up to us! ”

Cheng Qian didn't give up, and once again cautiously suggested: "Do you want to send a report to Zhu Yujie to supervise it?" Is a dead horse a live horse doctor? ”

Chairman Chiang finally snorted from his nostrils, nodded, and said briefly and hurriedly: "In the name of the Military Commission, the 18th Group Army issued a report, ordering Zhu Peng to effectively supervise all departments to launch a sabotage attack on the Japanese army's communication lines and contain the Japanese army. Ordered the 115th Division of the 18th Group Army to capture Dezhou to advance to the east, hold on to Dezhou, and not retreat without an order, and must force the Japanese army to withdraw divisional troops from the eastern Henan front line to return to Dezhou! The good news of the 18th Group Army's capture of Dezhou was sent to the Eastern Henan Corps and the 17th Army Corps, encouraging the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy and annihilate the Tufei Yuan Division! ”

Cheng Qian stood up and replied "yes", and said goodbye and left.

After Cheng absconded away, Chairman Jiang did not go back to bed to rest, but wandered around the room, scolding "Niang Xipi" a few times in his mouth, and then sat down at the desk again, took out his diary, and wrote in the diary: "Xiao Siming captured Texas!" ”

Xiao Siming did not know the details of the report that Cheng Qian, commander of the First Theater of Operations, had reported to Chairman Chiang after receiving a telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, let alone what Chairman Chiang's attitude was.

Before the commander of the Japanese garrison in Texas, Fuyuan Nakasa, commanded the knife to be stabbed into the lower abdomen, and ordered the cipher code book to be burned and the radio station to be smashed, for fear of leaking the Japanese army's communication code and giving the Eighth Route Army an opportunity.

The two radio operators of the devil were also very resolute in carrying out the order, and without any hesitation, they directly smashed the radio station and set fire to the code book, correspondence messages, and confidential documents.

The reason why the old devil Fuyuan Zhongzuo was dead was that the Eighth Route Army was moving too fast, and the two telegraphers had just had time to burn the codebook, and they were killed before they could ignite the incoming and outgoing messages.

After Xiao Siming rushed to the Texas Garrison Headquarters of the Japanese Army, he looked at the Japanese army's incoming and outgoing messages, laughed, and was about to fall asleep, so the little devil sent the pillow!

According to the original battle plan, after capturing Dezhou, Xiao Siming wanted to move his army eastward and go to the Laojian River to meet the Japanese Army's Fourth Independent Railway Brigade that had been hastily withdrawn from Lingxian County, and strive for the total annihilation of the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade.

It's not a matter of course, but it's completely achievable. Because the Japanese Army's Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway was ambushed by the Wudi Independent Regiment at Tuqiao, the losses were not small. In addition to the ambushes and attacks of the Wudi Independent Regiment and the Deping Independent Regiment in the past few days, four infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron, one artillery squadron, one transport team of the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade, and at most two and a half infantry squadrons, there are basically no losses, that is, their artillery squadrons, machine gun squadrons, and transport teams. With such a scale of troops, when encountering the main force of the well-equipped eastward advance detachment, Xiao Siming has absolute confidence to eat it in one bite!

After all, the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway is not an infantry brigade of the Japanese field division, and there is a slight gap in equipment and strength. The most important thing is that the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway is a newly formed unit, even if their soldiers are well-trained after 11 months of training, but after all, they are new to the battlefield and have insufficient combat experience, and the firepower and strength of the main force of the eastward advance detachment can completely eat it!

Now the situation has changed, in addition to ordering the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade to return to Dezhou, the Japanese army also ordered the Fifth Independent Railway Brigade stationed at the Yellow River Railway Bridge from Dezhou to Luokou to gather its forces and cooperate with the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade to return to Dezhou. Moreover, the most important thing was that the Japanese army transferred an infantry brigade from the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Mixed Brigade Regiment, which was temporarily stationed in Jinan, and transported it to Dezhou to participate in the battle to recapture Dezhou.

The North China Garrison Army is an infantry brigade of the second wing of the mixed brigade, which is the culprit unit that launched the Lugou Bridge Incident, everyone deserves to die!

This is simply a fat sheep sent to the door, if you don't slaughter it, you can't let them go!

Xiao Siming instantly decided to revise the battle plan and lead his troops to the southeast along the Jinpu Road to destroy the infantry brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army that was transported by rail!

As for the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway, which was hastily withdrawing to Dezhou, Xiao Siming could only ignore it for the time being, and let the Wudi Independent Regiment and the Deping Independent Regiment commanded by Hu Qingyun drag them down.

Zheng Xiuchuan, the deputy chief of staff and chief of staff who followed Xiao Siming, didn't know what kind of nerve Xiao Siming was sending, and what he laughed in the middle of the night, so he took the telegram in Xiao Siming's hand and read it in confusion, and instantly understood Xiao Siming's mind, so he raised a question: "What if the Japanese army learns that Dezhou has been lost, and can't figure out the truth of our army, revise the order, and don't let this infantry brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army reinforce Dezhou?" Aren't we all empty of bamboo baskets? ”

This is indeed a problem!

General Terauchi Toshiichi, commander of the North China Front, and Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff in Jinan, were both arrogant, but they were definitely not mediocre people, and their cunning and cunning should not be underestimated. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer a big loss!

If Terauchi Shouichi or Okabe Naosaburo had learned of the strength of the eastward advance detachment, maybe they would not have transported the infantry brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army to Texas!

What Zheng Xiuchuan didn't expect was that Xiao Siming laughed again, and actually said: "I expected that this infantry brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army would definitely come to send it to death, and it has already set off!" Our chance for revenge has come! ”

Zheng Xiuchuan was a little unconvinced, and asked: "Without intelligence support, why are you so arbitrary?" ”

These words expressed the worry in Zheng Xiuchuan's heart, he was afraid that the troops would rush into the air and miss the opportunity to eliminate the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army!

Xiao Siming saw Zheng Xiuchuan's worried face, so he had to explain: "Lao Zheng, I rely on the fact that the Japanese army does not know our hypocrisy, and I rely on the blind superstition of Terauchi Shouichi and Okabe Naosaburo about the combat effectiveness of the mixed brigade of the North China garrison army!" ”

This is also true, by this time, the Japanese North China Front must have known that the Chinese army that attacked and occupied Dezhou was the Eighth Route Army. It's just that it's hard for them to figure out which unit of the Eighth Route Army it is, and the size of the troops, weapons and equipment are even more unclear. They are likely to have a miscalculation, that is, the reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to attack and occupy Dezhou was because Fu Yuanzhongzuo, the commander of the Japanese Texas garrison, took the position of the Eighth Route Army and transferred the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway from Dezhou City, resulting in Dezhou City becoming an empty city, which allowed the Eighth Route Army to take advantage of the loophole.

The reason why the Japanese army could make such a miscalculation was mainly because there was no formed Chinese regular army in the entire North China Plain. The regular troops of the Eighth Route Army were no more than three divisions and six brigades, of which the 120th Division was in the northwest of Shanxi, the 129th Division was in the southeast of Shanxi, and the 115th Division was in Shanxi, one in Shanxi, and the other was in western Shanxi. Even if the Eighth Route Army on the Jilu border was a main regiment, with the combat strength of the Japanese army, an infantry brigade could easily defeat the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army, or even a division of the Chinese army.

There is another reason, that is, the infantry brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army, which was transported by train from Jinan to Dezhou, is not fighting alone, and they can get the cooperation of the Fourth Independent Brigade and the Fifth Independent Railway Brigade of the Japanese Army, and even the Third Wing of the Japanese Railway stationed from Cangzhou to Wuqiao.

In this way, the scale of the Japanese army's forces around Dezhou is not small, if the Japanese troops from all walks of life are brought together, the eastward advance detachment is definitely not an opponent, and it has to be avoided!

Zheng Xiuchuan understood, so he stopped being verbose, and urged Xiao Siming to hurry up and give an order!

Xiao Siming did not rush to give an order, but moved a chair, sat down in front of the Japanese combat map hanging on the wall, took out a cigarette, lit it, and silently pondered it! (To be continued.) )
