[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 535: Attack before retreat (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!! ）

Although there were many things to discuss at this military meeting, due to the urgency of time, the whole meeting did not last long. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The meeting began at 8 o'clock in the morning and ended at 12 o'clock at noon. Xie Wensheng and the others didn't care about eating, so they rode back to their command post to deploy the next plan.

On the morning of August 17, Ma Zheng ordered the guard battalion to enter Yanggu County in full view, and for the first time played the banner of the Eighth Route Army in front of the people of Yanggu County.

At the same time, except for the guard battalion and a small detachment of the special operations squadron of the 1st Brigade who remained in Yanggu County, the rest of the brigade began to quietly move to the southern Hebei region.

Before the transfer, Ma Zheng specially sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, roughly reporting his future military operations to Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng and others, and at the same time soliciting their opinions.

It stands to reason that Ma Zheng's rank at this time no longer needs to report the battle plan to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, not to mention that the Suicha Military Region was already assigned to a large military region directly under the central government as early as last year, so the Suicha Military Region and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army no longer have a subordinate relationship.

However, considering that this operation in southern Hebei will definitely have to deal with other units of the Eighth Route Army, and even need their cooperation, Ma Zheng must report to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in advance, so that the head of the headquarters can coordinate the relationship between the independent division and the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei. After all, Ma Zheng wants to develop on someone else's territory, so in order to avoid contradictions and unnecessary conflicts, Ma Zheng feels that it is necessary to let the head of the headquarters know his plan.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also called back in a timely manner, and Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng were very supportive of Ma Zheng's plan, so when they called Ma Zheng back, they also sent a telegram to Chen Guang, the acting commander of the 115th Division, conveying the situation of Ma Zheng's westward advance to the 115th Division, and ordering the 15th Division to fully cooperate with Ma Zheng's headquarters.

After receiving the telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Chen Guang also reacted immediately, and the two infantry brigades of the headquarters quickly assembled and began to move closer to the west of Luxi, preparing to meet Ma Zheng's headquarters.

At the same time, the remnants of an infantry brigade of the former Shandong Provincial Party Committee who had gone to southern Hebei for rest and recuperation also received an order from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to assemble in Guangping County. However, due to the heavy losses of this infantry brigade in the previous period of counter-sweeping, not only did it have few soldiers left, but even almost all of its senior commanders were killed. Originally, there were only two small regiments of 1,500 people, but now there are less than 1,000 people left in the whole brigade, and there is only one cadre above the regiment commander left.

In fact, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is also very entangled in the whereabouts of this infantry brigade, this infantry brigade turned out to be the elite of the Shandong Eighth Route Army, although it was disabled by the Japanese army in order to cover the breakout of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, but they can still break through part of the main force under such harsh conditions, which is enough to show their excellence. However, it was precisely because this unit was so good that several other divisions of the Eighth Route Army hoped that the headquarters would integrate this unit into their own units.

However, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters took into account the problem of the reconstruction of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, and Ma Zheng's headquarters stationed in Shandong and opened up the situation in Shandong in a very short period of time.

Ma Zheng was very moved by the support of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, to be honest, his combat plan was more risky than planned, and there were too many uncertainties, which in fact did not conform to the Eighth Route Army's consistent combat style of seeking stability.

Maybe ordinary people can't see it, but the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters can rub sand in their eyes, and the reason why they can agree and support this plan is completely based on Ma Zheng's past achievements, so they unanimously chose to support. It is for this support and recognition that Ma Zheng must not let down those veterans and coaches.

Ma Zheng is very clear about the next development trend of the entire Chinese nation, and he is also very clear about the next action plan of the little devil, and Ma Zheng is also clear about the big plan that the Eighth Route Army headquarters has brewed in later generations.

It can be said that the battle plan formulated by Ma Zheng is completely aimed at the next military plan of the Japanese army, but ordinary people do not know what the Japanese army is going to do next, so in the eyes of some people, the battle plan handed in by Ma Zheng is a bit taken for granted, and in military professional terms, it is a risk.

However, although the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was not optimistic about the independent division entering southern Hebei to fight this time, it resolutely chose to support it, what a trust. Since the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters are very powerful, then he Ma Zheng should also have this trust.

At the same time that the guard battalion of the 1st brigade occupied Yanggu County, the two infantry brigades of Xie Wensheng and Xu Weiguo attacked with all their might, and more than 10,000 troops attacked in Dong'e, Pingyin, Shen County, Guanxian and other places. This time it was not a petty harassment, but the main target was to destroy the enemy's stronghold and kill and injure the living forces of the Japanese puppet army.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army did not do much entanglement with the enemy, generally left after the fight, and fought if it could be defeated, if the Japanese resistance was extremely stubborn and the terrain was also favorable to the Japanese puppet army, Xie Wensheng and others would move to the next battlefield.

In one night, 11 Japanese strongholds were destroyed and one county town was captured. At the same time, a large number of Japanese-funded enterprises, Sino-Japanese joint ventures, and large corporations were looted.

Ma Zheng's department is completely crazy to play, and it is not the consistent combat style of the Eighth Route Army at all. Although on the surface it looks very similar to the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army, if you can fight it, you can fight it, and if you can't fight it, you will run away. However, if we analyze it deeply, we can see that there are some gaps, and the Eighth Route Army usually does not carry out such a big attack in order not to cause a large-scale counterattack by the Japanese army, which does not conform to the operational characteristics of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, the vast majority of battles in the Eighth Route Army were random, especially like ambushes or something. But nowadays every battle is planned, there is a detailed plan, almost a hit is a hit, and rarely misses.

At this time, Zio Gao Kamizo couldn't sit still, and ordered Major General Kikui to immediately take over the supreme command of Liaocheng, and at the same time ordered Major General Kikui to immediately purge the Chinese army within Liaocheng.

The so-called law and order purge is actually a sweep, but although Major General Kikui took over the command of Liaocheng, he did not immediately send troops to sweep up, but ordered all the devils in Liaocheng to immediately assemble in a large stronghold or a county seat, and at the same time, Major General Kikui ordered the reinforcements in Jining to immediately move westward.

On August 18, when the last batch of reinforcements and munitions arrived in Liaocheng by rail, Major General Kikui finally gave the operational order for a sweep.

The troops participating in the sweep included three infantry wings, one cavalry wing, plus three independent infantry brigades of Japanese troops, in addition to two infantry brigades of the Imperial Allied Army and three newly formed security regiments. At the same time, the headquarters of the 12th Army also sent two artillery brigades and a tank brigade as the fire support for the sweep.

The sweep of more than 27,000 people was the first in the history of Shandong's resistance against Japan, and even in the last public order and rectification operation, the Japanese army only dispatched more than 20,000 people. This time, in order to thoroughly consolidate the law and order in Shandong, coupled with the major victory of the Japanese army on the battlefield in Wuhan, the confidence of a large number of middle and high-ranking officers of the Japanese army was extremely inflated, including the commander of the 12th Japanese Army stationed in Shandong, Otaka Kamezo.

Otaka Kamizo believes that even if there are still troops of the Eighth Route Army or the Nationalist Government in Shandong, there will not be too many, and the chaos in Liaocheng must be caused by the westward advance of the Tuba Road in southern Hebei, and it may even be caused by the joint efforts of the remnants of the Tuba Road and the Chiang government, so for the safety of Luxi, it is necessary to carry out a thorough and effective blow to the Chinese army of Luxi and Lunan to completely wipe out the forces of the Chinese people in Shandong.
