Although the discussion in Yan'an lasted only a little more than an hour, the impact was enormous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon Ma Zheng received a call back from Yan'an, the message was very short, only a few words: "All the calls are known, and the plan is executed", and the payment is Yan'an **************.

After receiving the reply from the Party Central Committee, Ma Zheng was overjoyed, he didn't care about the fatigue of the long journey, let alone rest, and immediately ordered the troops to act according to the plan, and at the same time he moved his former enemy headquarters forward to Dai County, after all, this is close to Yuanping Town, and it is not very far from the front line of Xinkou and Ningwu Pass, and more importantly, it is only two days away from southern Hebei.

The relocation of the headquarters to Daixian this time was also carefully considered by Ma Zheng, first of all, the geographical location of Daixian Mountain is very important, and secondly, the terrain conditions are typical easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are mountains and rivers, and the terrain is complex. Moreover, the county seat of Daixian is very small, which is not suitable for the airborne landing of paratrooper troops, so the possibility of a surprise attack by Japanese paratroopers is eliminated.

The most important thing is that Dai County has city walls and perfect fortifications, and just a reinforced battalion stationed here is enough to deal with all contingencies. After all, according to intelligence, the Japanese army's special combat units have also completed their training and have gone through many actual battles, and although they rarely fight with the special combat units of the Suicha Military Region, the strength of the Japanese special operations units is still not to be underestimated.

In the previous battle, Ma Zheng's special combat team secretly shot and killed several members of the Japanese special combat team, and after analyzing and identifying Ma Zheng, the identity of the Japanese special combat unit was finally determined. According to the weapons and equipment on the Japanese special combat personnel, Ma Zheng seems to have seen a truly modern special forces. Non-reflective painted steel helmets, full-body armor on the upper body, American Gaimei submachine guns, and melon-type grenades all show the strength of the Japanese special combat team.

Therefore, guarding against the Japanese special combat team is also a problem to be considered when fighting against Japan, and the Daixian fortifications are complete, especially the light and dark forts are reasonably configured, as long as the defense is well organized, the Japanese army will not want to hurt the commanders in the former enemy headquarters even if there are many people.

At the same time, after the headquarters was moved forward, Ma Zheng could learn more about the development of the war on the front line, and it was more convenient for him to command the troops to fight, so Ma Zheng ignored the opposition of Yun Jian and others and placed the headquarters within the bombing range of the Japanese Air Force.

The Japanese army did not give Ma Zheng much time to prepare, and before the troops of the Suicha Military Region could be mobilized, the Japanese army began to launch a tentative attack. The first to exchange fire was the troops of Chanan, and the leader was still the old rival of the Suicha Military Region, Abe Guixiu.

Although Abe's Guixiu Division has been stationed in Baoding for the past two years, there are not many cases of fighting with Ma Zheng's Division, so the 26th Division has somewhat recovered some combat effectiveness, so this attack on Xuanhua was used by Tada Jun as the main force.

After receiving an order from the North China Front Headquarters, Abe immediately commanded his troops to arrive at the outskirts of Xuanhua and prepare for an all-out attack on this small but extremely important city.

The two sides formed a confrontation situation on the periphery of Xuanhua, although there was no war yet, but Abe Norihide knew that with the existing strength in his hands, it was difficult to help the defenders in Xuanhua City. Therefore, after arriving in Xuanhua, the Japanese army only maintained pressure on Xuanhua City and did not immediately attack, and Abe Norihide was waiting for other reinforcements from the headquarters.

Tada Jun also knew that it would be difficult for a single 26th Division to break through the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army, so while ordering the 26th Division to go north, he also ordered the remnants of the 16th Division and the independent mixed 15th Brigade, the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 3rd Tank Wing to cooperate with the 26th Division.

On January 3, after all the troops had arrived, the North China Front Headquarters immediately issued an order to attack the Japanese troops on the Xuanhua front, according to Tadajun's order, Abe's troops must break through the defense line south of Zhangjiakou by January 15, and the army must attack under the city of Zhangjiakou. Then Ma Zheng's troops were driven out of southern Chahar at all costs, mainly to seize the provincial capital of Zhangjiakou.

Although he knew that the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in front of him was terrifying, after receiving a large number of reinforcements from the Front Army Headquarters, Lieutenant General Abe Norihide suddenly rose up like a chicken's blood. In Abe's view, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army has indeed improved considerably, but the shortcomings of the lack of air support and artillery support have not changed substantially.

Although the artillery of Ma Zheng's department is quite powerful, according to the estimation of Lieutenant General Abe Norihide, it should be a mountain artillery field gun of a complete artillery regiment, with a maximum caliber of no more than 75mm. But now that he had a full heavy artillery brigade at his disposal, Abe's confidence became extremely inflated.

He believed that not to mention the opposite China Army, which was not the most powerful and most combat-effective unit on the Chinese battlefield, even if it was known as China's first and so far only mechanized force, the Fifth Army of the Central Army of the National Government of the People's Republic of China would be torn to pieces under the powerful firepower of the heavy artillery brigades.

The heavy artillery brigade is a strategic force of the Japanese Empire, and it is generally only assigned to the field division of the Imperial Army or directly under the front army, and its firepower is far more terrifying than people imagine, and the salvo of a field heavy artillery brigade can easily completely smash an infantry regiment. Therefore, the threat of today's field heavy artillery units is no less than the US atomic bomb hanging over the heads of the Japanese a few years later, and it is an absolute weapon of strategic deterrence.

Moreover, before the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army was equipped with a total of 6 field heavy artillery brigades, and the structure was also 2 wings. This is entirely due to the fact that the cost of equipping field heavy artillery brigades is too expensive, and even the Japanese army can only equip 6 such brigades.

The 6th Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery was originally equipped with the 12th Army stationed in Shandong, but due to the urgency of the war and the railway line from Shandong to Beiping has always been relatively smooth, Tada Juncai transferred the 6th Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery to Xuanhua to support the operation of Yamashita Abe Guixiu.

The reason why Tada Jun transferred the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade to the Xuanhua Front was mainly to deal with the field heavy artillery units under Ma Zheng's department. Not long ago, when Ma Zheng's troops besieged Beiping, they directly used a lot of heavy artillery, and even almost razed Tada Jun's headquarters to the ground.

It is precisely because of this heavy artillery brigade that Abe Norihide has the confidence to fight against Ma Zheng's department. After all, a heavy artillery brigade has at least two artillery wings and an infantry wing under its jurisdiction, and the configuration of this field heavy artillery brigade is even more luxurious, with not only a heavy artillery wing under its jurisdiction, but also a field artillery wing and a mountain artillery wing.

Although Ma Zheng's subordinate also had its own field heavy artillery unit, it was simply a joke compared to the heavy artillery unit of the Japanese army. In addition to the 24 field heavy artillery guns with a caliber between 105mm and 150mm, there are also 24 mountain guns and field artillery guns of 75mm caliber. The heavy artillery captured by Ma Zheng's division was like a child to an adult strong man in front of the Japanese army's field heavy artillery brigade, and this strong man still learned sanda, and the two sides were not opponents of the same level in the first place.

However, such a strategic weapon as a deterrent greater than actual combat has always been the focus of attention of the Chinese intelligence departments, and this field heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army was attacked by the Chinese side shortly after it came out of Jinancheng, and the special agents of the military command of the Nationalist Government and Ma Zheng sent elite squads to sneak attack.

It's a pity that the Japanese army also attaches great importance to field heavy artillery, not only has a wing of infantry escort, but also a special combat team is secretly escorting. An assassination detachment of the military commander suffered a great loss because it did not expect in advance that the Japanese army would be escorted by a special combat team, and less than 10 of the more than 30 elite agents of an assassination detachment escaped.

Ma Zheng sent Xu Haifeng's special combat team, but unfortunately the Japanese army's special combat team was stronger than the wolf's tooth special combat team in terms of numbers and weapons and equipment. The two sides fought several times, and each lost a lot of players, and no one got much bargain. And Ma Zheng also knew that the enemy had already taken precautions, so he had to order the special combat team to withdraw from the battle and give up this sabotage operation. (To be continued.) )
