[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 326: Determine the target of the attack (ask for subscription, ask for a monthly pass!) )
Looking at the place where Yang Chengwu pointed out, he found that he was referring to the holy land of Yan'an.
"Yan'an?"
"Yes, it is Yan'an, the Ordos Plateau south of Baotou is the barrier of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, the fortress to block the Japanese invaders' invasion of the Great Northwest, and it is also the northern defense line to defend the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, and its strategic position is very important."
Then Yang Chengwu said: "Three months ago, I was ordered to go back to Yan'an, and I was fortunate to be received by the chairman to ask about the Jinchaji anti-Japanese war. At that time, the chairman said with emotion that the rear area was not safe, and the sound of Japanese guns and artillery was already very close to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, and once the Japanese took control of the Ordos Plateau, then the next target would be northern Shaanxi, so they planned to send people to this area to form anti-Japanese forces, and if we could take Suixi and the entire Ordos Plateau, we would not only defend the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, but also open up the communication line from northern Shaanxi to our military region, killing two birds with one stone. ”
At this time, Xu Yinghui also said: "What Division Commander Yang said is very reasonable, in fact, I have been working in the special branch before I was transferred to the military intelligence department of the Suicha Military Region, and I am mainly responsible for the affairs of Suixi. After the "77" incident, the Japanese invaders, with the cooperation of King De and Li Shouxin's puppet Mongolian army, launched a frantic attack on the western part of Inner Mongolia along the Pingsui Railway. It successively occupied Fengzhen, Jining, Bailingmiao, and Guisui, and occupied Baotou on October 17, controlling all the banner counties around Baotou. ”
"According to the Japanese army's attempt, it was preparing to move south along Baotou, directly attack northern Shaanxi from the Ordos Plateau, and then invade Shaanxi. In order to achieve this goal, the Japanese Army's Special High Division sent a special agent Yushiro Uchida to Azhen to attend the meeting of the princes of the Islamic League, and coerced and induced the princes of the Islamic League to declare their separation from the jurisdiction of the Nationalist Government. He even put forward the conditions for the establishment of an autonomous government, but it was skillfully resisted by the Tuwang and others. ”
Seeing that coercion and temptation could not be achieved, the Japanese army, who was embarrassed and angry, simply dispatched troops directly to try to pacify the Ordos region by force. Subsequently, the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia commanded the Fourth Division of the puppet Mongolian Army to occupy the Dashuwan area of the Iraqi League, and commanded the three regiments of the Eighth Division of the puppet Mongolian Army to invade and occupy the Lao Ye Temple Wangfu, Xiaonao, and Xinianfang in Dalat Banner. The battle line of the Japanese army in the south once advanced to the area of Da Nalin, Shi Laosu, Shendiwan, Gouxinzhao and Data in the east and Gaotouyao in the west, and also occupied the palace of Hangjin Banner. ”
Then Xu Yinghui continued: "At the beginning of this year. The Japanese army set up the Japanese puppet "Yikezhao League Office" in Baotou and appointed A Wang of Hangjin Banner as the "league leader". He also sent Uchida to lead a puppet Mongolian army to Alamiao, which is only 50 or 60 kilometers away from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region, to win over Zhang Wenxuan, the Inan guerrilla headquarters, and build an airstrip, preparing to stay here for a long time. At the same time, the 12th Regiment of the 4th Cavalry Division of the puppet Mongolian army occupied the Jungar Banner along the river, and part of the prince voted on the day. The Eighth Cavalry Division of the puppet Mongolian army attacked Dongsheng and approached the city of Dongsheng. As a result, more than 300 Kuomintang defenders were killed and wounded. There were also frequent battles on the Western Front, and the Taolimin area was invaded by the Japanese army, and the danger of falling threatened the Islamic League, and the Islamic League was in a hurry. ”
In order to prevent the Japanese invaders from continuing to advance westward and southward, Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of the Nationalist Government, ordered the main force of the Seventh Army to enter the Hetao area, build a defensive line with Linhe as the center, block the main force of the Japanese army on the line of Wuyuan and Xixiaozhao, and repelled the Japanese attack many times. Stabilized the tide of the war. At the same time, the party committee of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region decided to set up a Mongolian working committee in order to organize the broad masses of Mongolian people to further carry out the anti-Japanese struggle. So it was decided again. The veteran cavalry regiment of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi was assigned to the Suimeng Working Committee and organized as the Suimeng Guerrilla Command of the Eighth Route Army. ”
However, due to the strong power of the Japanese puppet army in Suixi and Yikezhao, the Suimeng guerrillas could only passively defend. If we can recover the entire Suixi region, including Yikezhao, the effect will be extremely significant. ”
Ma Zheng took a closer look at the map, and it was indeed as Yang Chengwu and Xu Yinghui said, as long as Suixi was laid. It is equivalent to opening up the communication line with Yan'an, which is of great significance to the Suicha base area.
After thinking about it, Ma Zheng immediately said: "Okay, let's fight Suixi first in the first battle!" However, we must not be impatient, we must first set up the county brigade in the defense zone, and at the same time, we must also say hello to Commander Yan in the second war zone, so as not to make his old man crooked when the time comes. ”
"Commander, what does it have to do with him when we beat us, why do we want to greet him?" Yun Jian asked puzzled.
"Greeting him is to tell Old Man Yan that we are going to attack the Japanese army in Suixi, if he doesn't want Suixi to fall into the hands of our Suicha Military Region, there is only one way! That is, to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army in Suixi before us! Ma Zheng said.
"And what if they defeat the Japanese?" Yun Jian said worriedly, after all, the total number of enemies in Suixi was only 20,000, and the troops of the Jin Sui army stationed in the Hetao area had more than 50,000 people in a group army, which was more than twice the total strength of the enemy.
What's more, the Japanese army in Suixi is only more than 7,000 people, and the rest are puppet troops with average combat effectiveness.
Ma Zheng smiled and said: "If you take it, you will take it, Suixi is so big, and the Jin Sui army can occupy a few counties." Moreover, the center of gravity of Suixi is in Baotou, Linhe is more than 500 kilometers away from Baotou, and we are only far from Baotou, as long as we control Baotou, what can we do if other places are given to the Jin Suitou army. The most important thing is that we only need to inform Yan Laoxi, not only to do our best morally, but also to allow the Jin Sui army to attract the main force of the Japanese army to the Wuyuan line, we just happened to occupy Yi Kezhao, why not! ”
"The commander is reasonable, but I don't know if Chief Yan has the courage to start a war with the Japanese!" Yang Chengwu said in a deep voice.
"If it is the Japanese puppet army in other places, Yan Laoxi may have to think about it, but if the target of the attack is the Japanese army in Suixi, then there is nothing to be afraid of. Now that we control Suidong and Chanan, and the 120th Division controls the northwest of Shanxi, the Japanese army headquarters stationed in Mongolia and the Japanese army in Suixi can only rely on the long and rugged route of Bailing Temple, Wulanhua and Xilinhot, and it is impossible to quickly reinforce in a short time, which can be regarded as a good opportunity to beat the water dogs, how can Yan Laoxi give up easily! Ma Zheng said with a smile.
Yun Jian also added: "There is another point, now that our Suicha Military Region is standing behind the Japanese army, even if they can't defeat it by then, we will take over, so once we are ready to make a move against the Japanese army in Suixi, then the small island will definitely be defeated, for a force that is bound to fail, why should Yan Laoxi be polite to them." ”
"Besides, Yang Aiyuan has seen our combat effectiveness with his own eyes, if he is unmoved, then there is only one possibility next, that is, our Suicha Military Region will completely annihilate the headquarters of the small island and completely control the Suixi region."
"The commander and the commissar have a reasonable analysis, so what exactly should we do?" Yang Chengwu continued to ask.
Ma Zheng immediately said: "If you want to beat someone, you must first deal with your own internal affairs, and you will be powerful when you clench your fists with your free hands!" Immediately after you go back, you will assist the principal leaders of each county in the matter of forming the county brigades, and you must set up all the county brigades in the shortest possible time and conduct preliminary training for them. ”
"At the same time, the troops have to be secretly assembled. In particular, the Du7th Division and the 92nd Division, which are close to Datong and Zhangjiakou, and the defense areas of your two divisions are close to the areas occupied by the Japanese army, so it is necessary to strictly prevent the Japanese army from launching a diversionary attack on our military region after the Suixi Campaign begins. Your task is to block the enemy's reinforcements and guard the gate of the front yard of our military region for me. ”
"In addition, the cavalry group, the guard brigade, the artillery regiment, and the fire support regiment directly under the military region, as the main force of this campaign, must complete the secret assembly before the start of the campaign, and the specific battle plan will be sent to you separately by the military region headquarters later, and your task is to actively prepare for war and be ready to move west to seize Suixi at any time."
