Chapter 268: Commando, Attack! (Helm master plus change)
(PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend 'Qianxueyuan', I just added it today, I'm very sorry, please forgive me!) Tomorrow, I will make up for the monthly pass I owe, how much I can make up, and please continue to support! Thank you very much! )
The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the generals need to respond in a timely manner according to the progress of the battle. Originally, He Zhengdao's plan was to drive the train safely to Yuanping, and finally transport the train supplies overnight in Yuanping.
But what he didn't expect was that at the beginning of the operation, the Japanese army did not know that he was coming for two trains. As a result, their forces in Datong are currently concentrated in Shuozhou and the vicinity of Datong to block the main force of the independent column from moving north.
The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the cooperation of the main divisions in the actions of the independent column, also exceeded He Zhengdao's expectations. The most important thing is that in the operation in Taiyuan, the strength of Taiyuan was emptied, and finally the main force of the Japanese army was sent back.
Even the Fifth Division, known as the 'Steel Army', suffered serious attrition under the counterattack of the 116th Division and the 127th Division. Many weapons and ammunition have become trophies of the Eighth Route Army. This situation greatly exceeded He Zhengdao's expectations.
At present, the 120th Division has tightened the reinforcements of Taiyuan and marched into Xinzhou. The Japanese army from North China could not catch up with Xinzhou in a short time. In the absence of railway transport, it is also impossible to transport troops by car alone.
What's more, if you don't take the defense area of the 120th Division, you must go through the defense area of the 115th Division. If you want to stride into Xinzhou, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream. This left an opportunity for the Eighth Route Army to sweep Xinzhou, and it would be a pity not to seize it.
When He Zhengdao's telegram of request for instructions was sent back to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, he looked at the current position of the main forces of each division in Xinzhou. Mr. Peng said with a little excitement: "Commander-in-chief, there is something wrong with this matter!" The Japanese army stationed in Xinzhou at the moment. There is a real and serious shortage of troops.
If the reconnaissance brigade can take Xinzhou City, the 1st Independent Division can take Yuanping City. The entire Xinzhou region is left. It was difficult for the Japanese army to find an integrated wing. It seems that we can all take these county seats! ”
For Mr. Peng's excitement. Mr. Zhu thought for a while and said, "You can't chew it if you are greedy!" At present, we can fight Xinzhou, but we can't control Xinzhou at all. As far as the current strength of our army is concerned, it is actually impossible to do this.
But this time, we may be able to annihilate the Japanese forces deployed in Xinzhou. Finally, find some places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and establish a forward position. In this way, in the future, the Japanese army will commit another attack, and we will also have room for strategic transfer.
Since Xiao He is confident in killing the little devil in Xinzhou City, then why not let us play with him. Besides, as long as the Japanese army stationed in Xinzhou is defeated. I believe that the Japanese army wants to attack our base area again. It is estimated that it will not be possible until after the end of the year. ”
Listening to Mr. Zhu's analysis, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan also smiled and said, "Yes! It seems that this time, all of our troops will be able to get a sufficient exercise. The most important thing is that after we have Luliang, we will be able to connect the base areas.
If we may lose a lot of troops this time, but in comparison, the losses of the little devils are even more heavy. It seems that this time it was said by He Zhengdao again, this is really called the last new Taiyuan battle! ”
With the approval of the headquarters to He Zhengdao's revision of the battle plan, an operational order swept through Xinzhou. Soon it was sent from headquarters to the divisions. The 120th and 115th Divisions were responsible for blocking the attack, and the 116th and 129th Divisions were responsible for the attack with the independent column.
With the consent of the headquarters, He Zhengdao asked the train to stop at Douluo Station outside Xinzhou City. Seeing the two trains stop, the defenders of the small station looked somewhat surprised. But at this moment. The machine gun mounted on the train suddenly opened fire.
The defenders of the town, caught off guard, were soon annihilated by the reconnaissance brigade in the railway station. With the help of the phone of the small station, He Zhengdao called the Japanese army in Xinzhou for help. It said that the train is currently under attack at Douluo Station.
Hearing this news, the garrison officer of Xinzhou looked very surprised. However, two infantry brigades were soon dispatched to the rescue. After resting for a while, He Zhengdao received a call from the Xinzhou garrison. Knowing that the reinforcements from Xinzhou had already set off.
At this time, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Leave a team to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the people continue to board the car, and we are ready to go to Xinzhou." Remember, half an hour later, I called the Xinzhou garrison officer and said that we had successfully broken through. ”
'Yes, Commander! ’
A simple transfer of the tiger from the mountain caused the Japanese troops stationed in Xinzhou to reduce two infantry brigades again. This also means that by the time the train arrives in Xinzhou, Xinzhou will be completely undefended against the independent column.
And when the train stopped again not far from Xinzhou, He Zhengdao looked at Song Yuping beside him and said: "There is only one task you have to do next, attack the Japanese command in Xinzhou and control their radio station."
If nothing else, the garrison officer of Xinzhou will definitely go to the train station when the time comes. And they are at the railway station, and the deployment of troops should be the largest. Therefore, their command must be empty, and that is your chance.
I'll give you half an hour, I've already sent a telegram to the operation team in Xinzhou. When the time comes, they will meet you in Xinzhou City. In this case, one of your detachments will cooperate with them and clear the Japanese army from the city for me. ”
'Yes, Commander, get the job done!' ’
Looking at these broad daylights, he quickly rushed to Xinzhou in Japanese military clothes. He Zhengdao and others, who were parked on the railway line, were also making final preparations for the assault. Until half an hour passed, the two trains continued to depart for Xinzhou.
Back and forth, more than an hour, enough for the reinforcements sent by Xinzhou to Douluo to go far away. So much so that he received a call from Douluo Station, saying that the two trains had successfully broken through, but the garrison officer of Xinzhou wanted to scold his mother.
The reason is simple, send two infantry brigades to the Douluo station to support. At present, there is only one infantry brigade in the garrison they are stationed in Xinzhou City, and the rest are Japanese puppet troops. These troops are okay to defend the city, and it is estimated that the battle is enough!
But no matter what, it's a good thing that the train can break through smoothly. This also shows that the Eighth Route Army should have known about the two trains, and was also sending troops to snatch the trains. Compared with Douluo Station, Xinzhou Station is undoubtedly safer.
After ordering the garrison of Xinzhou to implement a high level of alert, the garrison officer personally went to the railway station to meet the two trains. Next, until reinforcements arrive, their defenses will revolve around two trains.
When the train was about to enter Xinzhou and began to sound the whistle, the garrison commander breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Order the troops to be on guard, these two trains cannot afford to fail." And the 9th Brigade, where is it at the moment? ”
'Nakasa, we sent a telegram to inquire earlier, and the 9th Brigade called back, and is in the process of retreating. At present, the Eighth Route Army's resistance is very brave, and the retreat of the Ninth Brigade cannot be fast, but I am afraid that it will take some time. ’
'Eight grid tooth road, these dirt eight roads, all dead, dead, dead! ’
This time, the edge shown by the Eighth Route Army really gave these Japanese troops in charge of one side a headache. In the face of these Eighth Route Army, who mostly lived in the countryside and mountains, they really couldn't find a solution for a while.
Too many troops were dispatched, and the other side directly hid in the mountains and forests, so that they could not find the target of encirclement and suppression. If there are too few troops dispatched, they may go there, and their encirclement and suppression troops will be ambushed, and eventually they will be severely damaged or completely annihilated by the other side.
The garrison officers who were responsible for the Jing'an area undoubtedly had a clear understanding of these guerrilla Eighth Route Army. didn't wait for them to come up with a specific solution, but ushered in a large-scale military sabotage battle of the Eighth Route Army.
In the midst of this swearing and anticipation, the first train finally appeared in their sight. Looking at the bullet holes and smoke on the train, and the corpses that the machine gunners had not yet carried off the train, everyone knew that the battle was fierce.
With the first train, it stopped smoothly at the platform of Xinzhou Station. Looking at the slowly opening carriage, dozens of very vigilant Japanese soldiers began to walk down the train. But the machine gunners are still on high alert.
Seeing the vigilant appearance of these Japanese soldiers, the garrison officer of Xinzhou quickly stepped forward and said, "What about your commander?" ”
'Your Excellency Nakasa, may I ask who you are?' To make sure it's safe, we need to check your ID! ’
'Yaga, this is our Xinzhou garrison officer Nozawa Tanakasa! ’
As a result, the Japanese second lieutenant who wore the rank of second lieutenant and got out of the car seemed to be very serious: "Please show your ID!" ”
Faced with such a situation, Nozawada was a little unhappy, but he still took out his documents. Just as the second lieutenant was checking his papers, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the city. As soon as the gunfire rang out, it quickly attracted the attention of the Japanese troops at the railway station.
It was at this moment that He Zhengdao, who was hiding in the train, immediately said: "Do it!" Commando, sortie! ”
Two commandos of the Reconnaissance Brigade with open doors suddenly burst out of the carriages. Raising the submachine gun in his hand, he began to carry out a frenzied slaughter. As for the machine gunner on the train, the same pulled the trigger in his hand.
The machine guns set up by the Japanese soldiers on the platform were all caught off guard by them, and they died of astonishment under the strafing of machine gun bullets. And the officer next to Nozawada was quickly killed by the people around the Japanese second lieutenant.
As for himself, he stared at a pistol in his head and said, "Nozawa Tanakasa, congratulations!" Become a prisoner of my Eighth Route Army! ”
'Are you ticking the eight roads?' ’
For such a surprise attack, coupled with the large number of Eighth Route officers and soldiers pouring out of the train carriages, Nozawada knew no matter how stupid he was. These two trains, I am afraid that they will be snatched by the Eighth Route Army at a very early stage.
It can even be said that from the beginning of the Taiyuan explosion, the operations were carried out to cover these two trains. Nozawa, who woke up to this, admired the strategy of the opposing commander, but also knew that they were really finished.
When the two infantry brigades he sent returned to the city, it was believed that they would not be able to escape the consequences of being wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. Lost from the protection of the city and scattered in this unfamiliar place, their fate is sealed.
Just when he was unwilling to become a prisoner and was about to draw his gun to resist, the second lieutenant also pulled the trigger in his hand. A bullet pierced his skull at close range, turning it into a corpse and lying in a pool of blood.
At this time, the officers and men of the reconnaissance brigade, who had been on the train for almost two days, rushed to the Japanese troops at the railway station like a flood that opened the gates. For this sudden blow, the only remaining Japanese infantry brigade also failed to hold out for long! (To be continued.) )
