[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 680: Heavy Attack (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

The most famous deed about the sons of Sanqin guarding Zhongtiao Mountain is that 800 heroes threw themselves into the Yellow River, which happened in June 1939, when more than 1,000 soldiers of Sun Weiru's 177th Division Recruit Regiment were surrounded by devils twice as large as themselves, and the soldiers of the Recruit Regiment were a group of children, all aged between 16 and 18 years old, and had been in the army for less than three months. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Their bayonet fighting skills are obviously inferior to the Japanese army, and the red-eyed Shaanxi Leng babies simply threw away their guns, hugged the devil and kicked and bitten, bit off the devil's ear, and poked the devil's eyes......

After sacrificing more than 200 young lives, the remaining 800 people were forced to a cliff more than 180 meters high on the bank of the Yellow River. It is a cliff on three sides, and below it is the Yellow River, which is called the mother, and if you don't want to die, you must surrender.

But in a life-or-death situation, none of the warriors were willing to surrender, so they all threw themselves into the icy waters below the cliffs. The Yellow River wrapped the 800 "cold babies" in Guanzhong who vowed not to surrender after fighting to the death with the loving arms of their mothers, and none of them survived.

The scene of 800 people throwing themselves into the river was seen by the villagers in the mountains. The living villager especially remembers the scene of the last soldier jumping into the river. Only the last Chinese soldier of Guanzhong was left on the cliff. It was a standard-bearer, his hands tightly clutching the flag of his troops. The flag had been torn by bullets and stained with gunsmoke, but his hands were still held high.

He shouted a few words of Qin dialect before jumping into the river, and the local villager who was still alive still remembered two of the lyrics, which were two sentences from Yang Jiye in "Golden Beach": "Two Wolf Mountains -- Zhan Hu'er...... The heavens and the earth shake -- "Good man--for the country---What a club---death---life, ......."

Defending Mt. Nakajo was a truly heroic force, and of course, in turn they were a fierce and cunning force in the eyes of the Japanese. Now three or four divisions of Japanese troops are heading straight for Jinnan, and it is basically certain that they are heading towards Zhongtiao Mountain.

Seeing that the Japanese army was not coming to southern Hebei and Luxi, Ma Zheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, now his troops are basically all transferred to the Yimeng Mountains, and Luxi only has less than a brigade of troops. Fortunately, these guys don't have the intention of doing anything like the Eighth Route Army for the time being, otherwise they will really be passive.

As for the Japanese attack on Nakajo Mountain, it was already the norm, and a large-scale attack was carried out every few years until the defeat of Nakajo Mountain in 1941.

Originally, Ma Zheng was going to remind Sun Weiru's department, but he received a notice from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which clearly mentioned the strategic intention of the Japanese army to go south, and this telegram was forwarded from the headquarters of the commander of the Second War Zone, which showed that the Second War Zone had also noticed the intentions of the Japanese army, so Ma Zheng also realized that he did not need to do more, so he continued to hurry and rushed to the Yimeng Mountains.

Taiyuan. Headquarters of the First Army in Shanxi.

The conference room was star-studded, and all the generals were there at a glance. If Ma Zheng knew that there were so many Japanese generals gathered here, I am afraid that he would send someone to make a surprise attack at all costs.

At this moment, the voice of the guards came from outside the conference room: "Your Excellency the Commander has arrived!" ”

The officers in the conference room suddenly sat upright, straightened their backs, and respectfully waited for the protagonist of the meeting.

With the sound of footsteps, the slightly obese body of Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army, appeared in everyone's sight. After Yoshio Shinozuka came to the main seat, everyone immediately got up, bowed their heads and chests, and stood with their legs together as a sign of respect.

"Sit!" Yoshio Shinozuka said expressionlessly.

With a "bang", all the generals sat down at the same time, looking very neat.

After everyone sat down, Yoshio Shinozuka straightened up and said: "Gentlemen, the purpose of inviting you here this time must have been understood, that is, to carry out the most thorough and fierce blow to the Shina army in Jinnan, and in view of some special circumstances, a pre-war mobilization meeting will be held before the battle starts. ”

The special situation mentioned by Yoshio Shinozuka actually refers to some problems within the troops, and the opinions of the first and second sections of the staff officers of the North China Front Command are not unanimous on the current battle plan, and there are particularly big differences.

The second lesson in charge of intelligence believes that the most important enemies of the current front army are the Suicha Military Region and the Eighth Route Army and other anti-Japanese guerrillas, not the *** troops entrenched in Jinnan. And to a certain extent, the current *** troops in Jinnan have not prevented the Eighth Route Army from infiltrating and developing into Jinnan.

Now, if the first army in southern Jinnan is annihilated, and the country and the Communist Party are engaged in friction from time to time today, this is equivalent to reducing the pressure on the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountains in the southeast of Jinnan, and once the first army in southern Jinnan is annihilated, the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army will expand to the region without any worries, and open up new anti-Japanese base areas.

However, the first lesson in charge of operations held that the two group armies of the 1st Theater of Zhongtiao Mountain were directly holding back a large number of troops of the Imperial Japanese Army stationed in Changzhi, Yuncheng, and Linfen in southern Jinnan, and if these two group armies were annihilated, the three divisions and regiments in southern Jinnan could be used as mobile troops to concentrate their forces on dealing with the Eighth Route Army in North China, and this would not only improve the public order situation in North China, but also increase pressure on Chongqing.

Although the first lesson was affirmed because of the support of Commander Tada, many people still had a lot of opinions about it, so Yoshio Shinozuka had to unify the thoughts of the generals before the battle began.

After informing the generals attending the meeting of the decision of the front army, Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "Gentlemen, this time the front army not only mobilized the 36th Division, the 37th Division, and the 41st Division of our First Army, but also mobilized the most elite Fifth Division of the Front Army to participate in the battle, and also transferred the 33rd Division and the 17th Division from the Central China Army to participate in the battle. The Front also requested that the 7th Flying Wing of the Kwantung Army stationed at Xingshu Airport in Boli County, the 32nd Sentai Bombing Brigade of Masao Nakasa, and the 83rd Reconnaissance Brigade of the 2nd Flying Regiment of the 2nd Flying Regiment stationed at Hailin Prefectural Airfield, Kenjiro Hara, be transferred to North China to participate in the operation. ”

Before Yoshio Shinozuka finished speaking, there was a buzz in the entire conference room, before this meeting was held, all of them had received an order from the front army headquarters to assemble in the southwest direction of Jin, and they did not know the detailed battle plan, let alone the strength of the front army.

I just learned from Yoshio Shinozuka that in order to deal with a small Nakajo Mountain, the front army actually mobilized six field divisions and a large number of technical arms, and even mobilized aviation troops from the puppet Manchurian region to fight southward, which was extremely rare after the Wuhan Raid Battle.

The surprise of the generals Yoshio Shinozuka saw it in his eyes, he was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and then said: "Next, please ask Suzuki-kun to introduce the detailed plan of this operation!" ”

Major General Suzuki, the new chief of staff of the First Army, immediately stood up and said: "Gentlemen, Your Excellency the Commander has just introduced the troop configuration of this battle plan, but I still have one thing to say here, according to the instructions of the front army and the base camp, this operation is to quickly resolve the incident in China, and we are determined to completely annihilate the defenders of Nakajo Mountain. After the front army made adaptive adjustments to the forces under its jurisdiction, it was organized into a sequence of participating in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain - the 1st Army: the 33rd, 36th, 37th, and 41st divisions, independently mixed into the 4th, 9th, and 16th brigades, and army reserves; The Corps, the 21st and 35th Divisions and the 3rd Flying Group of the Front Army have a total strength of about 100,000 troops. ”

"The operational purpose of the Front's plan of attacking southern Jinnan was to annihilate the main forces of the Central Army entrenched in the Jin and Henan regions north of the Yellow River, so as to ensure the stability of North China and put great pressure on the Chongqing regime. Troop Deployment: The focus is on the western part of the Nakajo Mountains. In order to first annihilate the 5th Army west of the Wenxi-Yuanqu road, after the start of the operation, the 41st Division in Yicheng and the independent mixed 9th Brigade in Jiangxian moved south side by side, captured the Yuanqu area on the north bank of the Yellow River, severed the connection between the 5th Army and the 14th Army on the East Road, and carried out a double encirclement of the 5th Army. ”

"The 36th Division in Wenxi and the 37th Division in Yuncheng were side by side, surrounded by a double detour from the west and south of Xia County, and after joining up with the 41st Division and the 9th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army, the 5th Army and the 80th Army were encircled and annihilated, and the 16th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade quickly advanced eastward from the north bank of the Yellow River in Pinglu to Shaoyuan in Jiyuan County, and joined the 35th and 21st Divisions on the East Road in this place to cut off the retreat of the 5th and 14th Group Armies to the south bank of the Yellow River."

"In order to annihilate the 14th Army in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain, the 35th Division in Wenxian and the 21st Division in Qinyang, after the start of the operation, they will side by side to the west of the economic source and Wangwu, capture Shaoyuan, join up with the 16th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, cut off the retreat of the defenders to the south of the Yellow River, and then follow the road from Jiyuan to Shaoyuan to make a lateral attack on the 14th Army in the area north of it; The 33rd Division in Yangcheng moved south from this place and coordinated with the 35th and 21st Divisions to carry out a north-south flanking attack on the 14th Group Army. ”

"The aviation units that are fighting in concert are mainly to cooperate with the troops on the West Road, and after the operation begins, the Longhai railway from Xi'an to Luoyang will be cut off from the air." (To be continued.) )
