Realizing that he had missed the opportunity to seize Zhengzhou, he commanded the 14th Division to enter the Tufeiyuan in Zhengzhou, and still resolutely took measures to withdraw the forward infantry brigade, hoping to ensure the safety of the entire division to the greatest extent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Judging from the current situation, a regiment of the 116th Division of the Eighth Route Army has been stationed in Zhengzhou. This also means that the Eighth Route Army has the ability to fully control Zhengzhou. Coupled with the main force of the division that is not far away, they have little chance left.

Even if Tu Feiyuan thinks that if he presses the entire division over, he may still have a chance to take Zhengzhou. If it's just such a dozen, Kaifeng, which has just been occupied, will surely fall. Because the 127th Division of the Eighth Route Army has already advanced towards Kaifeng.

Although he was a little unwilling, as the commander of the 14th Division, Tu Feiyuan had to think about the safety of the entire division. Once surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, if you want to get out of Zhengzhou, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

The most unwilling thing for Tu Feiyuan was that at this time, neither the North China nor Central China Front could send too many troops to join this battle. On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army did not mobilize their troops in the rear at all.

Once this battle reached a stalemate, the Eighth Route Army would inevitably draw troops from Shaanxi to join the battle. In this case, it is very likely that the Japanese army will be dragged into a major battle.

In the past, it is estimated that the Japanese army would be happy to see this situation. But now, they are also gradually feeling the pressure of troops and logistical supplies. If you want to fight a big battle, you always need supplies and soldiers, right?

After receiving the telegram from the reconnaissance brigade, Mr. Peng, who was also studying the battle situation at night, looked at the map and pondered for a while and said: "Tu Feiyuan, this old devil is not easy to deal with!" As soon as you see that the timing is not right, you know that you should quickly retreat to protect yourself. ”

'Boss, Tu Feiyuan is a Huaxia Tong, and he is still an old classmate with Linfen! What's more, he also has a lot of protégés in the Japanese army's intelligence department, and it is not easy to hide some of our military movements! ’

smiled and replied to Mr. Peng's Zuo Quan, in fact, I think it is not bad for the Japanese army to be interested in retiring from the army. In this way, they will also be able to recover Zhengzhou smoothly and establish a new headquarters and democratic regime in Zhengzhou.

It's just that in order to ensure the safety of Zhengzhou, the Eighth Route Army stationed in Zhengzhou in the future, in addition to beware of little devils, also needs to beware of Jiang Dingwen's Ministry stationed in Luoyang, and be careful that they launch a surprise attack from behind.

Fortunately, according to the operational order of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the first task of this Henan Battle was to intercept the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, which was advancing straight into Zhengzhou. Now this combat mission has basically been successfully accomplished.

The remaining combat mission was to cooperate with the front of the 117th Division in Shandong and the new 67th Army operating in Zhoukou and Anhui to expel the Japanese troops in Henan.

In a word, if they don't leave, they will fight obediently. In this way, I believe that the pressure on the Eighth Route Army will be smaller in the future. If they have to bear the threat of both the Japanese army and the national * army, the task of the troops stationed in Henan will also be very heavy.

After looking at the map for a while, Mr. Peng quickly said: "Send a telegram to the reconnaissance brigade and let them organize the troops to carry out the pursuit, and we can't let the little devils withdraw from Zhengzhou so easily." At the same time, send electricity to the 127th Division so that they are ready for engagement. ”

Hearing Mr. Peng's order, Zuo Quan said: "Mr., at this time, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate to send a reconnaissance brigade to attack, right?" According to our operational arrangement, after the arrival of the 116th Regiment of the 116th Division, the reconnaissance brigade will begin to enter Shanxi to prepare for war! ”

'Then let a regiment of the 116th Division attack?' ’

I'm afraid there will be difficulties! In order to seize Zhengzhou before the Japanese army, the first regiment had not closed its eyes for two days and one night. If you continue to pursue it like this, it is still easy to go wrong. I think it's better to wait for the main force of the 116th Division to be stationed in Zhengzhou.

Since the little devils chose to take the initiative to retreat at this time, they would definitely send some blocking troops to ensure that their retreat went smoothly. If we pursue, it will also increase the casualties of our troops, so it is better to let the troops recharge first.

When the main force of the 116th Division arrived in Zhengzhou, it would encircle Kaifeng with the 127th Division. In this case, I believe that the pressure on the little devils will be greater. At this time, I think I should be able to let the 117th Division move first. ’

As for the situation of the troops on the front line, Zuo Quan is undoubtedly quite clear. As he said these words, Zuo Quan pointed to Heze and Shangqiu in Shandong. Doing so is undoubtedly copying the back path of the little devil.

As soon as he heard Zuo Quan's words, Mr. Peng also reacted and said: "Ah! Oh, yes! If you don't remind me, I really forgot. However, if the large units of the reconnaissance brigade do not move, their reconnaissance detachments can also fight the autumn wind! ”

I don't think we need to give an order, Li Xiangdong will do it. Speaking of which, the reconnaissance brigade trained by He Zhengdao is really a good force. With such a unit, we can save a lot of things and worry a lot less! ’

Zuo Quan also knows a lot about the reconnaissance brigade. According to the telegram sent by the reconnaissance brigade during this time, Zuo Quan also really understood that this was a force that could fight well and defend, and it was very elite in both attacking and blocking.

However, in order to ensure the victory of the Shanxi Campaign, He Zhengdao also asked the reconnaissance brigade to go north to Shanxi as soon as possible. The reconnaissance brigade that has done so many things, Mr. Peng, is indeed not good at retaining.

After all, the upcoming Battle of Shanxi is also very important for Yan'an and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Once Shanxi was pacified, the situation of the Eighth Route Army in the entire Central Plains region would be completely opened.

The troops stationed in these places can also stabilize the local development base areas with peace of mind. At the same time, the troops of the main divisions can also take advantage of the situation to advance the base areas. In this way, the Eighth Route Army can control more places.

After some discussion, Mr. Peng quickly said: "Then send a telegram to the 117th Division and tell them that they can do it." But don't hit it too hard. I'm afraid that this old devil will slip away faster than a rabbit! ”

'Senior Xu is also a veteran, I think he should consider this kind of thing! ’

Xu Xiangqian, who had just returned to the garrison not long after receiving the combat order from the Henan Qianzhi, also smiled and said: "Okay, now it's our turn to do it." With an order, you can launch an operation and take down Fan County and the two counties in front of Taiwan first!

If the Japanese troops on the Heze and Puyang sides are reinforced, we will order our troops in these two places to also wait for the opportunity. As soon as there is an opportunity, but decisively launch an attack. First of all, we will recover some small county towns in these two places and form our democratic government. ”

This game is getting bigger and bigger! However, it's rare to have a big battle, and it's really enjoyable! ’

As a political commissar, Zeng Zhongsheng naturally has great confidence in the battle of Henan. For the 117th Division, once the places connected to their base areas can be recovered, then they will also get greater development.

According to the topics discussed at the Yan'an operational meeting, in the future, the 117th Division will be mainly responsible for the construction of armed forces behind enemy lines in Shandong. This also means that in the future, the 117th Division will be responsible for the anti-Japanese war in the entire Shandong territory.

If they can fight this battle well, they can also deal with the Japanese army in Shandong in the future. But what they have to do now is to connect all the base areas scattered in various places in a real sense.

After receiving the order from the division headquarters, as the commander of the first column, Xu Shiyou was also very happy and said: "Okay, the order from the division headquarters has arrived, and this time our first column can finally let go of our hands to fight."

Send a report to the 1st and 2nd regiments and let them start the attack on Fan County and the front of the stage. In these two counties, we have infiltrated many commandos earlier. It's almost time to reap the fruits of victory.

The rest of the divisions of the first column were all transferred to a state of readiness. The 3rd Regiment was responsible for monitoring the Japanese troops in the Puyang direction, and the 4th Regiment was responsible for monitoring the Japanese troops on the Heze side. This time, mobilize all the county brigades and district squads, and we will have a big battle with the little devils. ”

As the 117th Division began to carry out a real siege battle, the Japanese troops stationed on the Henan border were undoubtedly completely mobilized. Such a battle together also means that it is basically impossible for the Japanese army to send supplies to the front line.

The Sakai Brigade, which had spent a lot of effort and finally succeeded in meeting with the main force of the division the next day, had just arrived at the division headquarters when he heard the angry roar of Tohihara. Sakai also knows that this division commander is very angry now!

It wasn't until he entered the headquarters that Sakai learned the cause of the original gas of the soil fertilizer. In just one night, Fan County and Taiqian County, which were originally garrisoned by many troops, were recovered by the Eighth Route Army overnight.

Most importantly, in the territory of Puyang and Heze, a large number of armed forces of the Eighth Route Army were found behind enemy lines, preparing to attack the city and seize the land. For a time, these garrison troops, which were originally used as rearguards, also retreated back to the city for defensive operations.

Those Japanese troops who were outside were also subjected to the frantic attack of the Eighth Route Army. A group of troops transporting supplies to the 14th Division were also surrounded and annihilated by the Eighth Route Army last night, and the supplies and escort troops were all looted by the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing that the main force of the Eighth Route Army also began to appear in Puyang, Tu Feiyuan also really realized that the Eighth Route Army was playing a big game of chess this time. They sent troops to Henan this time, just to drive them out of Henan.

Once this operational goal is achieved, they will finally open up the passage from North China to Central China, and they will be completely blocked. For such a situation, not to mention that Tu Feiyuan felt incredible, the Central China Front also felt that the Eighth Route Army was too ambitious.

It's just that judging from the current situation, in Shandong and Henan, their troops are indeed insufficient. As a result, after receiving the news, Shunroku Hata quickly mobilized several Japanese divisions that were originally resting again.

In addition to letting them start moving to Henan and Shandong, they also urgently called the military headquarters, hoping that they could raise a batch of supplies for the Central China Front in the shortest possible time. After all, how can you fight a big war without supplies!

For such a battlefield situation, Lao Jiang, who paid attention to the battle of Henan, also felt incredible. But he suddenly felt that the Eighth Route Army seemed to have stabbed the little devil's hornet's nest this time, and then the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army, I was afraid that they would really fight to the death!
