With the arrival of the Eighth Division of the Kwantung Army in Pingquan, the Japanese puppet army assembled in the cities of Chengde and Luanping also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info at least in their opinion, I believe that it will not be long before the Eighth Division can solve their current passive situation.

As for the Kwantung Army, after receiving a telegram from the Eighth Division, it learned that the Eighth Route Army had assembled a large number of troops in the Pingquan area. Mei Xianji Miro suddenly felt that maybe the troops on the Chengde side did not need to be in such a hurry to withdraw to Beiping.

From the information they have gathered so far, the Eighth Route Army has assembled a large number of main forces in the Shijiazhuang area and is engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the North China Front. Thinking about it in a short time, the Eighth Route Army couldn't send many reinforcements.

Although the troops under the command of He Zhengdao have successfully converged with the troops of the Eastern Hebei Army Division, Mei Xianzhi Meilang feels that the number of troops available in the opponent's hands is not too many, and they may not have a chance of counterattacking.

In addition to the Eighth Division, which has now arrived in Pingquan, the other two main divisions of the Kwantung Army have arrived in the Xing'an League area and the other in the Tongliao area, and are moving in the direction of Chifeng.

Even the main division deployed to the Xing'an League area was more to prevent the Eighth Route Army from entering the Xing'an League area. But Mei Xianji Miro knew in his heart that the division was mainly guarding against the Outer Mongolian Army and the Soviet Far East Army.

However, if he placed a division in the Hung Yen League area, the Eighth Route Army had to send a certain number of troops to defend it. And the main division, which began to move towards the Chifeng area at this moment, is fully capable of solving the Eighth Route Army currently fighting in Chifeng.

After all, according to the telegram sent by the Chifeng garrison, the number of troops deployed by the Eighth Route Army in Chifeng is also a main division. With less than 20,000 troops, an integrated division is fully capable of dealing with it.

If they are a division and can't deal with a main division of the Eighth Route Army, then Mei Xinji Miro will also feel that the title of the strongest army in Asia may really be lost. He is still very confident in this.

What's more, judging from the intelligence they reconnoitred, with the arrival of the Eighth Division in the Pingquan area. The main force of the Eighth Route Army in Chengde was also rushing to the Pingquan area for reinforcements. This shows that the Eighth Route Army does not have many troops in its hands.

In view of this situation, Mei Xianjimiro quickly sent a report to the Eighth Division: "Order the Eighth Division, without rushing to break through and rescue, and have a good contact with the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Pingquan area, so that these Eighth Routes can feel the strength of the imperial troops."

As long as the Eighth Division can continue to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Pingquan area, then we can also take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate more Eighth Route Army and create fighters for the subsequent recovery of Rehe and Chahar.

At the same time, the troops in Chengde and Luanping were ordered to strengthen their vigilance against the night attack and infiltration of the Eighth Route Army. If there is an opportunity, let them be ready to counterattack at any time and wipe out the Eighth Route Army that entered the Chengde area in one fell swoop. ”

In the face of Mei Xianzhi Meilang's self-confidence, He Zhengdao quickly told him with practical actions that if he wanted to contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army, it was basically an extravagant hope. The number of troops he had in Chengde was far beyond his imagination.

Just when He Zhengdao went to the Pingquan area, he dispatched a number of main forces to reinforce them, and even let these troops march in a hurry during the day, without avoiding the aerial reconnaissance of the little devils. For such an order, Ye Jianying also felt very puzzled.

But He Zhengdao quickly explained: "Chief of Staff, how many troops we have on hand at the moment, the little devil can guess some of them. Let these main regiments rush to reinforcements, I believe it will also attract the attention of the little devils.

Earlier, I had already ordered the Eastern Hebei Army Sub-district to send two main regiments to advance into Chaoyang and Huludao, so that they could open up anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines in the two places and create chaos to divert the attention of the Kwantung Army.

Now is the perfect time for them to enter. Taking advantage of the arrival of the 8th Division of the little devils in Pingquan, I think the Japanese troops in the other two places would not have thought that we would disperse our forces and enter their rear to cause sabotage!

Even if they knew, if they wanted to encircle and suppress these two main regiments, they would also contain the garrisons deployed by the Kwantung Army in the two places. In this way, our troops in Chengde will not have to bear too much pressure.

In addition, at present, there are still quite a number of main forces in the eastern Hebei army sub-region, which are engaged in rotational battles with the North China Front Army. I don't think the little devil can feel it! The combat effectiveness of these units in round battles should also have improved.

At the appropriate time, let the Jidong Army Division send some more troops to Huludao, I'm afraid that the little devils will also be in a hurry! When the anti-coalition forces that entered Benxi and Dandong succeeded in completing the whole division, it was the time for the Jidong Army Division to advance into the territory of Fengtian.

I'm going to let the little devils outside the gate taste the taste of putting out fires everywhere and catching fire everywhere. Only by mobilizing all their troops will we be able to find an opportunity to bite hard. ”

After listening to He Zhengdao's deployment, Ye Jianying thought for a while and said, "This tactic is a bit similar to the morning glory tactic?" ”

'Nice! At present, our troops have not yet been reorganized, and most of the sub-divisions of the Eastern Hebei Army are fighting in regimental units. There is still a gap between the overall combat capability and ours. However, it will not be too much of a problem to carry out sabotage attacks behind enemy lines.

If the Eastern Hebei Army Division can successfully occupy Huludao, then we will have a forward position to advance into Mukden. When the time comes, let the anti-coalition forces outside the pass cooperate, and maybe there is a chance to recover Mukden.

If we can gain a firm foothold in Mukden, I believe that it will not be easy for the Kwantung Army to drive us out again. On top of that, we also have a forward position to attack at any time. ’

Such an idea and layout were indeed somewhat unexpected by Ye Jianying. But he felt that there were basically no problems with the battle plan that He Zhengdao was currently deploying, and every step was very solid.

Perhaps, as He Zhengdao said, maybe it won't be long before their troops, whose combat goal is to recover the northeast, really have a chance to recover Mukden. If we can really do this, I am afraid that it will also boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the National War of Resistance!

After talking about some of his strategic ideas, He Zhengdao continued: "Send a telegram to the Second Division, asking them to gather the rest of the main forces of the division headquarters and rush to Luanping to set up an ambush and pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army in Chengde.

At the same time, the Eastern Hebei Army Division was ordered to dispatch at least three main regiments to the vicinity of the road from Miyun to Luanping to deploy defenses. As long as the North China Front dares to send troops, it will resolutely block the attack and will not let go of a single soldier.

Second, we will issue an order to all county brigades and district squads in Chengde, so that the county brigades and district squads in each county town will be redressed with our garrison troops. Tell these troops, let them give me a mighty coercion of Chengde. ”

As soon as these orders came out, Ye Jianying immediately woke up and said, "Commander, do you want to play a trick with the little devil to steal the beam and change the pillar?" ”

'Nice! According to the telegram sent by Li Xiangdong, after the Eighth Division arrived in Pingquan, it did not rush to launch an attack, but on the contrary, calmly built fortifications in Pingquan. What do you think the little devil is having?

I don't have to be so stupid to get our troops to take the initiative to attack! Now it's not us who are in a hurry, it's the little devils. Shall we attack them instead of them?

The top priority is to recover the entire territory of Chengde first. The little devil thinks that our main forces are currently gathering in the Pingquan area to confront them, so I will tell the little devil that they are afraid that they have miscalculated again.

At present, our main force in Chengde wants to storm Chengde, but I am afraid that it is unlikely. Even if Chengde can be defeated, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties. In this case, the little devil in Chengde can only be forced to break through the city.

From the fact that the North China Front Army still transferred a Japanese infantry brigade to the Miyun area under the condition of extremely tight troops, it can be judged that this unit was used by little devils to meet the Japanese troops in Chengde.

Another evidence for making this judgment is that the little devils in Chengde are still stubbornly holding on to Luanping City in Beiping. If the little devils knew that we still had a lot of main forces at hand, what do you think they would think?

The county brigade and district squads may not be good at fighting, but they are also quite numerous. Put on the uniforms of our garrison troops, and then let the engineer battalion forge some wooden cannons for them, and half-cover and half-cover them to force into the territory of Chengde and Luanping.

Do you think the little devils will be anxious when they learn the news? In the final analysis, the number of Japanese puppet troops currently in Chengde is less than 20,000, and there are many puppet Manchurian troops. ’

As He Zhengdao said this kind of battle plan of 'cultivating the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark', Ye Jianying also felt that he could give it a try. If you can scare the little devils in Chengde City out and let them break through to Beiping, it will indeed be more conducive to their encirclement and annihilation.

After receiving the telegram from the army commander, he originally thought that he was afraid that there would be no battle to fight in the future, and he would also start to consider joining the main force or the garrison guerrillas in various places, and he also seemed to be a little enthusiastic.

After all, the opportunity to participate in such a battle plan as the attack on Chengde City was too rare for them.

Looking at the truckloads of regular army uniforms, these guerrillas also looked very happy, and said with a little expectation: "Chief, after the battle, you won't take back this uniform, right?" ”

In the eyes of these guerrillas, who usually wore the clothes of the common people, they were very envious of this inexpensive Eighth Route Army uniform. It can be said that many of them hope that one day, they can have such a set of military uniforms.

In the face of such an inquiry, the regular army soldiers who came to deliver the uniforms also smiled and said: "Don't worry, these military uniforms are also a reward given to you by your superiors." After the war, you can keep these uniforms.

However, if you do not participate in the garrison or the main force in the future, you should not walk around in these uniforms in normal times. After all, I think you should know about the discipline of clothing. ”

Hearing these officers and men of the Eighth Route who came to deliver their uniforms say such things, the guerrillas were equally happy. In their opinion, being able to wear such a military uniform once means that they are a real soldier of the regular army of the Eighth Route Army! (To be continued.) )
