Chapter 245: It's time to do it! (Alliance Leader Plus 1)
(PS: Congratulations on finally having the first alliance leader in this book, thank you for the book friend 'Wushui's Little Fish' reward!) As the first leader of this book, I would like to express my gratitude for the fifteen chapters of the book. However, I can't make up for it today. But mosquitoes will try more! The commuter pass plus update is still valid! If you have a ticket, just smash it! )
Just as He Zhengdao expected, Fu Zuoyi, who defended the city with a mortal heart, fled one after another in the face of the troops who assisted in defending the city. In addition, the Jin Sui army retreated on all fronts, and the entire Taiyuan defense battle lasted only five days.
The speed of this fall is also beyond many people's expectations. So much so that the Japanese army besieging Taiyuan, after the end of the defense of Taiyuan, even sent troops to pursue and defeat the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army that had been defeated in Linfen and other places.
After receiving a telegram from the front-line reconnaissance detachment, He Zhengdao really didn't know what to say. If it is said that Jin Suijun is too incompetent, it seems that it is unreasonable. But this chaotic chain of command can be described in two words: 'chaos'.
As the commander-in-chief of the Jin Sui Army, Yan Xishan was reluctant to let Taiyuan, but he seemed to know that Taiyuan could not be held at all. The Japanese army that broke through from the front line of Niangzi Pass almost caught them by surprise, causing heavy losses to the Jin Sui army.
Seeing that the troops were wiped out, Yan Xishan finally made the decision to retreat to Linfen and Jinxi in order to preserve the only remaining blood and bones of the Jin Sui army. In this case, it is normal for the Taiyuan defenders, who are like a lonely city, to scatter their military spirit.
It's just that the troops who held on failed to hold on to Taiyuan for a period of time as scheduled, buying time for the retreating troops. As a result, the Japanese army, which moved quickly, sent a part of its troops to take over Taiyuan, and then immediately pursued the Jin Sui army.
In this case, many of the anti-war troops that could have survived. In the end, less than 50,000 people were left and evacuated to Linfen and western Jinxi. The Jin Sui army, which was famous in the northwest earlier, was almost wiped out after this battle.
See the telegram from the reconnaissance detachment. He Zhengdao sighed slightly: "If the Jin Sui army is not determined to resist the war, they will not be left with such a small number of troops. If it is said that they are determined to resist the war. It's too fucked up again.
If those troops defending the city can work together and have Fu Zuoyi as the commander, there will be no problem at all if they hold on to Taiyuan for ten days and half a month when there is no shortage of materials and weapons. This rout is like a copy of the Battle of Songhu. ”
The same is true of the Battle of Songhu, which ended early. The order from above, one will retreat, one will hold on. When the little devil wanted to take the back road, all the troops thought of was to flee for their lives. Effective interdiction is not organized at all.
The final consequence of an orderly retreat is a rout. Thousands of anti-war troops were chased and killed by the little devils behind their butts. Such a scene made He Zhengdao feel that he didn't know what to say when he thought about it.
After arriving in Yangqu, He Zhengdao set up a temporary headquarters in Yangqu. The rest of the reconnaissance brigade troops, which came one after another, were ordered to begin to regroup in Yangqu. And the situation in Taiyuan did not escape He Zhengdao's expectations.
Even before the Battle of Taiyuan, Yan Xishan began to disassemble and assemble some factory equipment. Unfortunately, some devices simply can't be disassembled. The end result: All these machinery and equipment were left in Taiyuan City.
Knowing that the Japanese troops stationed in Taiyuan City had begun to disassemble and assemble those equipment, He Zhengdao looked at Sun Shicheng and said: "Send a telegram to the third special operations team, starting tonight." The railway from Taiyuan to Shijiazhuang was blasted.
In addition, tell Zhu Yue not to blow up too much at once. First of all, the railroad from the Jingcheng side was blown up, and the railroad was blown up. Try to ensure that the little devil can be repaired in about ten days. After the railway was blown up, it immediately returned to Taiyuan to join us. ”
'Yes. Commander! ’
After giving this order, He Zhengdao said again: "Send a report to the first detachment." Let Song Yuping take my handwritten letter to the 129th Division station, and ask Division Commander Liu Bocheng to send troops to help them destroy the Japanese airfield in Yangmingbao.
Tell Song Yuping that you must protect those pilots, and if the pilots make any mistakes, let him be careful for me. This time the machine gun was attacked, the time must be controlled, and the plane took off early after the battle.
If the little devils send troops to help, let our pilots also conduct actual combat. After the battle, immediately return to Yulin Airport. Before you act, be sure to ask them to send me a telegram. ”
'Yes, Commander! ’
After this arrangement was finished, He Zhengdao continued: "Send our liaison to Luliang Mountain to meet Mr. He of the 120th Division. Let him send a main force to secretly arrive in Yangqu to join us and send my gift with him. ”
With He Zhengdao's several orders issued, the independent divisions and the Eighth Route Army, which had also arrived in various places and were on standby, began to get busy. And next, what will become of the war, in fact, many people do not know the bottom of their hearts.
The first to act was the third detachment of the Saber Special Warfare that had infiltrated the Jingcheng section of the Zhengtai Line in advance. After receiving the order from He Zhengdao, Zhu Yue, as the captain of the detachment, also smiled and said, "It's finally time to do it!" ”
At this time, one of the special combat team members said: "Squad leader, do you want to report to the team leader what we detected two days ago?" I think it's a good time for us to get started after the blasting mission.
If we don't save them when we die, those people will definitely not end well in the future. Anyway, in addition to the Jin Sui Army, there are also many officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army among those prisoners! Is this situation reported? ”
Faced with this teammember's suggestion, Zhu Yue thought for a while and said, "Yes!" It's just that in this case, the number of people will have to be reduced by the next blasting operation. Delay the commander's task, you all know the consequences. ”
As a result, a member of the team soon said: "Squad leader, in fact, what we have to do is to detonate the buried explosives one by one." It doesn't take much time, and it doesn't take too many people.
If the little devils learn the news, in order to ensure the smooth flow of this railway, the reinforcements they are most likely to send are the troops stationed near Jingcheng. And the little devil's troops in the Jingcheng Coal Mine must have been the first to arrive.
As long as they come out, we will carry out another raid, and I think we should be able to finish off the defenders of the little devils in the mines. When the time comes, rescue those captives and drill into the nearby mountains, it will be difficult for the little devils to catch them again, right? ”
After some discussion, the telegram soon reached He Zhengdao's hands. Regarding this situation, He Zhengdao quickly said: "Report this situation to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and ask where the troops of the 115th Division are currently closest to Jingjing!" ”
According to the information known to He Zhengdao, the 115th Division, which ended the Pingxingguan ambush, is currently operating in the direction of Wutai. Since these prisoners are to be freed, how to house these prisoners of war is also very important.
After receiving the information forwarded by the independent column, Mr. Zhu took the map and said: "At present, there is a main battalion of the 115th Division operating in the Beiyukou area, which is 200 kilometers away from the Jingcheng Coal Mine. If you move quickly, you can arrive in about two days.
Send a telegram to the 115th Division and ask them to send troops to cooperate with the Saber Special Operations Team of the Independent Division. If you can rescue the three or four thousand captives who are imprisoned in the Jingcheng Coal Mine. Then the 115th Division will be able to expand the strength of one regiment at that time. ”
Hearing Mr. Zhu's words, Zuo Quan looked at the map and said, "Commander-in-chief, with only one saber special operations detachment, I'm afraid that I can't provide strong protection for these prisoners, right?" What's more, these captives are very mixed and troublesome. ”
Regarding Zuo Quan's doubts, Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "The situation you said also exists!" But regardless of which unit the captives belonged to, they were all part of the anti-war forces. Rescue them first, and then talk about whether they join the Eighth Route Army or not!
In addition, the 115th Division was telegraphed that, judging from the current information, the Japanese army would hold a large number of prisoners of war in Jingcheng in the future. If necessary, let them send an independent regiment into the Pingshan area to wage guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.
In addition, a group of guerrillas who know how to blast were organized to operate in the vicinity of the Zhengtai line. As long as you find preparation, you can blow up the railroad controlled by the little devils. As Xiao He said, I want to use the railway to transport troops and things, dreaming! ”
Accompanied by a telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it was conveyed to the command of the 115th Division. Master Lin, who held an emergency meeting overnight, also knew that this was an excellent opportunity. If these prisoners can be co-opted, it will be too important for the 115th Division.
The rarest thing is that these captives are veterans of the battlefield. As long as the equipment is distributed, they can quickly form combat effectiveness. This is undoubtedly important for the 115th Division, which has just ended the battle and has suffered a lot of losses in the main force.
Thinking of this, Division Commander Lin also quickly made an order to transfer the strength of another main battalion to the Pingshan area to carry out activities behind enemy lines. At the same time, the Pingshan Guerrilla Brigade was formed there, which was responsible for carrying out sabotage activities on the Zhengtai Line.
When He Zhengdao received a telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, he quickly got in touch with the 115th Division. Not long after, the communication signal with the 115th Division, He Zhengdao quickly forwarded it to the special operations detachment that was waiting for news.
Seeing the order sent by He Zhengdao, Zhu Yue flipped through the map and said, "Judging from the map, even if our receiving troops set off now, it will take at least three days for them to arrive here.
In this way, we will divide our troops into two routes, and one will be responsible for carrying out railway blasting and detonating all the bombs we have planted before. After completing the task, the blasting team launched a block at the entrance of the coal break to buy us as much time as possible.
Use all the mines and explosives we have brought, and when the little devils find no one near the railway line, they will surely suspect that we are trying to sneak up on their mines. As long as they are delayed, we will return to the rescue after dealing with the defenders of the mine.
If we can solve the brigade of the little devils guarding the mining area, then we will not be unarmed when we retreat. In a short time, we were able to form a reinforced battalion from the captured troops. ”
After the task was formulated, Zhu Yue personally led nearly 30 special combat team members to the Jingcheng Coal Mine to carry out rescue operations. As for the rest of the special operations team, it is on a demolition and blocking mission.
With only one special operations detachment, it can deal with a mining area guarded by a Japanese infantry brigade. It sounds a little overwhelming. But the entire special operations team didn't think it was a big deal.
As long as the little devils stationed in the coal mine divide their troops, then they will have a chance. After all, as special combat members, many of the tasks they need to complete are tasks that seem impossible to complete in the eyes of others! (To be continued.) )
