Chapter 55: The Battle of Jin and Shaanxi

The small hall of the Zhongyāng Secretariat in Zaoyuan, Yan'an, has become the temporary operational command center of the Yanhuang Red Party, and Taizu is discussing the next campaign and battle plan with President Peng, President Liu, President Nie, and President Lin and President Chen, who rushed back.

"Okay, then the enemy of Erjingshan can't run away!" Taizu looked at the Japanese army in the red circle on the map, and said with a smile, "Now let's see how this guy Yoshimoto Sadachi responds." Everyone has their opinions. ”

"I think the little devil will definitely send rescuers, our bait is big enough, enough for a devil brigade," the outspoken Mr. Peng picked up while enjoying himself: "It's to see the determination of the little devil!" ”

"If I were Yoshimoto Sadachi, I wouldn't have reported it directly to Ningci, a military village sent to North China, after all, the military headquarters of the dispatch army was far away in Beiping, and the first army near Shanxi could be mobilized immediately after knowing it, and after reporting, there was no real help except for multiple mothers-in-law in charge of the command!" Commander Liu Bocheng continued.

"Well, I agree with everyone as well." Commander Chen Yi followed and said.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, then the following is how to deal with the rescue troops of the first army of the Japanese invaders, we will surround the point to send reinforcements, this reinforcement will not only defeat the invading enemy, but also be sure to completely annihilate the enemy army, and reduce obstacles for the future counterattack on Shanxi, Lin Biao, what do you think, this time it is a large corps operation, you are the best at it!" Taizu quipped.

"Hmm~" Mr. Lin, who was more introverted, was slightly silent, and then said: "This time, our troops and equipment are better than those of the Japanese Invaders, and in terms of the quality of the soldiers, because the Japanese invaders provoked the Pacific War, so now most of the Jingrui Field Division of the First Army of Shanxi has actually been transferred out, and the rest are mostly garrison corps, which are not equipped with heavy weapons and relatively weak offensive capabilities. Find an opportunity to ambush and annihilate the enemy. ”

"Report!" Just as he was saying this, the communications soldier quickly ran into the house and said loudly: "Report to the chiefs, the front-line reconnaissance report, the 225th Infantry Wing of the 37th Division Infantry (Zhenme Takeji Osa) and the 37th Mountain Artillery Wing (Kono Takeo Nakasa) stationed in Yongji; The 69th Infantry Brigade of the 59th Division stationed in Linfen (Brigade Commander Major General Kiyogo Ihero, under the jurisdiction of the 82~85th Duli Infantry Brigade); the first part of the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Yangquan, the first part of the 25th Division stationed in Datong, and the first part of the 36th Division stationed in Changzhi; The Oko Shangdao Wing and the Ono Kamifu Wing stationed in Yangqu (present-day Taiyuan), as well as the mobile forces of the Japanese Invaders stationed in each county stronghold, numbered about 2 brigades and 5 squadrons, with a total strength of more than 30,000 troops, are attacking our base area, and the target of the attack should be Xingxian in our base area. ”

After hearing the latest enemy situation, everyone in the room quickly looked at the large theater map on the wall.

"Strange? Is the little devil crazy or stupid this time? How did you send out all the money from the family? Mr. Nie said with a frown.

"Lao Peng, what do you think?" Taizu also asked with a frown.

"Something is wrong, something is wrong! Why is the little devil so desperate to rescue, that guy Yoshimoto Sadachi sent out all the troops he can send, whether he wants to defend Shanxi, he is so sure that there will be no accidents, just a brigade, as for playing so hard? ”

"More than 30,000 people, so many at once, can you eat?" When Taizu heard this, he seemed to be asking himself and everyone.

The bosses of the columns in the house glanced at each other, nodded and replied: In addition to the one division that surrounded Erjingshan, we also have seven divisions of mobile troops, plus the Engineer and Guard Brigade, the militia groups in various regions, and the guerrilla detachments, the strength can reach four to one, or even five to one, and the equipment is much stronger than that of the Japanese Bandits, there must be no problem! ! It's just that I didn't expect that it was originally planned to be a tooth sacrifice, but I didn't expect Yoshimoto Sadachi to give us a full banquet directly!

"Good!! Since the devils have made a lot of money, let's not be polite, eat all the more than 30,000 devils in one go, and there will be no one left! However, just in case, let the second training infantry divisions of the 4th and 6th columns also quickly assemble and join the battle at any time as a reserve of the whole army! Taizu finally ordered.

"Yes!" The commanders of the columns agreed in unison.

At the beginning of May 1943, in the Shaanxi-Jin border area, a battle aimed at encircling and annihilating the main force of the First Army of the Japanese was officially launched.

Although Captain Yamazaki did not know why the Red Party troops stopped attacking, he seized all the time to establish a defensive line, and along Erjing Mountain, he went up in a zigzag shape, established a trench defense line as deep as one person, and built fire support points such as light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and Type 92 mountain artillery. Behind a large boulder at the top of the mountain, Yamazaki established his own command post, where King Hengxian of Heyang Palace was hidden.

A few minutes ago, King Hengxian of Heyang Palace and Captain Yamazaki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the telegram that the First Army had already dispatched a large number of rescue troops.

"Yamazaki-kun, it looks like we have a chance of being rescued!" King Hengxian of Heyang Palace said.

"Hey! Your Highness, although I don't know why the Red Party has stopped attacking the surrounding army, we have established a defensive position, which is enough to support the arrival of reinforcements, please relax Your Highness! "Captain Yamazaki returns.

"Maybe they're running out of ammunition and can't attack, and now they're just bluffing!" King Hengxian of Heyang Palace, who put down his heart, couldn't help but joke.

"Hopefully!" Hearing this, Captain Yamazaki replied lightly, he had been carefully observing the battlefield situation, and he knew very well that this army was not the unit that attacked them at the twenty-mile shop in front of Xingxian County, but was completely a new combat force waiting for work, since they had set up a pocket formation for them to drill, it was impossible for there to be a shortage of ammunition. But no matter why, he didn't dare to launch a breakthrough attack again, as long as he could stick to it and wait for help, he believed that the imperial ** team that had attached importance to it would definitely be able to break through the Red Party's blocking line and rescue His Royal Highness King Hengxian of Heyang Palace, and even he had maliciously guessed that the Red Party was only here to kill the commander of the Yuichiro Nagano Brigade this time, and now that the goal has been achieved, it is a postural gesture later. So no matter what, now his task is to protect His Highness and not fall short.

"Onboard! Onboard!! (Long live in RI)

"What's wrong?" King Hengxian of Heyang Palace asked, and he and Captain Yamazaki walked out of the command post, and followed the gaze of the soldiers who raised their hands and shouted on board, and saw dozens of combat planes flying in the distance.

"Onboard! Onboard!! "Seeing the planes flying closer and closer, there were more and more Japanese soldiers chanting long live, and their morale was greatly boosted.

4 kilometers southeast of Erjing Mountain, at the command post of the new Third Division, Xu Guangda was holding a telescope to observe the enemy's strength on the battlefield.

"Oh~~ The little devil's plane is here, I said why are you so happy!" Seeing the Japanese planes flying closer and closer in the telescope, Xu Guangda couldn't help but say.

"The little devil thinks that he can break through with a plane, or does he think that a few planes can scare us away?" Sun Zhiyuan, the political commissar of the new Third Division, said, "Lao Xu, give them a bright show of our Third Division's belongings!" ”

"Good! The communicator, the herald, ordered the air defense company to quickly take position and bomb the little devil's plane down for me! The commander of the new third division said proudly.

"Yes!"

Ozawa Sanjiro, a pilot of the Seventh Brigade of the Japanese Army Aviation stationed in Shanxi, was on duty with the others today, and suddenly received a military order in the afternoon, asking for a quick take-off to aid the Erjingshan battlefield near Xingxian, where the Imperial Army was in trouble, and Ozawa did not dare to slack off after receiving the order. After the ground crew refueled, Sanjiro Ozawa immediately self-checked the engine, performed a cold start, pushed the throttle valve to an empty position, and the fuel gauge, engine temperature, engine speed and other things were displayed normally. The plane was taxied onto the runway, the throttle valve was pushed to the military thrust, the wheel brakes were released, and the nose of the plane was slowly raised, and it quickly began to lift. Eight seconds later, everything was normal, and the plane sped away in the direction of Erjing Mountain.

"Finish your work early so you can go back to dinner!" Ozawa, who has been smooth sailing on the Yanhuang Continent and has not encountered any danger, couldn't help but say to himself when he saw that he was about to fly to his destination. Then he pulled the plane down, entered the dive position, and prepared to carry out a machine-gun sweep, which was done smoothly, and in four or five years, he had already become familiar with it. Suddenly, he saw a string of smoke rising not far ahead, and a long arrow-like thing flew quickly towards him, and Ozawa, who subconsciously felt bad, quickly pulled up the nose of the plane, but it was too short a distance to make other maneuvers, and the small arrow hit the lower abdomen of the fuselage properly, accompanied by a huge metal fireworks, and Ozawa Sanjiro's life was drawn to a halt. (Modern individual missiles can shoot down World War II propeller aircraft, there are specific examples: in the 1982 Anglo-Argentine battle for the Falklands, in the early morning of May 28, when the British army launched a surprise attack on Gusgreen, it was attacked by six "Plaka" Argentine attack planes that dived and swept away the British army.) The British offensive formation was quickly cut. Major Stanley of the British Army led a squadron of special boats to an unnamed high ground, set up anti-aircraft missile launchers, fired several "Stinger" missiles, and shot down four "Plaka" attack planes. The "Plaka" attack aircraft is a propeller attack aircraft with a similar level of Argentine and World War II fighters, which can be found on the Internet)

And this is not just a special case, dozens of long arrows have risen into the air one after another, dozens of planes that will attack are shot down in turn, only a few wingmen located behind the group, survived, panicked and didn't know how to be good for them, quickly pulled up, circled a few laps from afar, in one of the planes that did not give up, when they plunged into Erjingshan for the second time, they were shot down by two long arrows that rose into the air, and the remaining planes hurriedly turned around and flew in the direction of Yangqu Airport in Shanxi, no longer caring about the life or death of the friendly forces in Erjingshan.

Erjing Mountain, King Hengxian of Heyang Palace, Captain Yamazaki and a group of soldiers couldn't help but fall into collective aphasia due to shock after seeing the plane flee in a hurry, and a feeling like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered rose from everyone's backbone and penetrated straight into the brain.

At night, the Da Qiang Shang Dao Wing and the Ono Guifu Wing set out from Yangqu, bypassed the area of Luliang and Majia occupied by the Red Party Army, bypassed the Lou Fan and Lan County roads, and arrived at Da Shetou in the early morning of the second day, and were suddenly attacked by dozens of large-caliber artillery, 200 mortars, and 92 infantry mountain artillery, followed by a rapid attack by thousands of Type 56 assault rifles, the strength of the two wings, and the troops of nearly 8,000 people, were instantly annihilated more than half, and most of the remaining remnants of the enemy were annihilated after a stubborn resistance for half a day, and hundreds of people were taken prisoner.

The 225th Infantry Wing of the 37th Division (Zhenmu Takeji Osa) and the 37th Mountain Artillery Wing (Takeo Kono Nakasa) from Yongji sent troops to Yan'an, implementing Yoshimoto Sadachi's strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, in a vain attempt to force the Red Party army besieging Erjingshan to urgently return to Yan'an. When the 225th Wing and the 37th Wing of the Japanese invaders crossed Ji County and marched to the Nanhegou and Leichi areas at the junction of Shaanxi and Jin, they were hit squarely by the New 10th Division of the 4th Column of the Red Party, which had been ambushed for a long time, and the fire attack lasted for 20 minutes, so that the infantry wing deeply understood the importance of the artillery wing that they had not been equipped with.

On the morning of the third day of the Twenty-Lipu counteroffensive campaign, the headquarters of the First Army in Shanxi, Yoshimoto listened blankly to the telegraph operator reporting one after another: the reinforcements were surrounded or routed, and the cold sweat on his forehead had soaked his military cap and collar.

The Oko Shangdao Wing was completely annihilated, the Ono Kamefu Wing was completely annihilated, the 225th Infantry Wing of the 37th Division was completely annihilated, the 37th Wing of the Mountain Artillery of the 37th Division was completely annihilated, and the 59th Brigade of the 69th Division Infantry was ambushed. The 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army, the 25th Division, and the 36th Division were all wiped out by the Red Party Army, and more than 70 strongholds of various types of strongholds were uprooted in the area of the Red Party after receiving the news that the troops were ambushed one after another, and the remaining 2 brigades and 5 squadrons of mobile rescue forces were completely wiped out by the Red Party army, and more than 70 strongholds of various types were uprooted in the imperial occupation area.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the third day of the counteroffensive, the new 3rd Division of the 1st column of the Red Party launched a general attack on the Japanese Yamazaki Brigade besieged in Erjingshan, 36 155mm self-propelled guns, 24 groups of 122mm self-propelled rocket launchers (1,920 122mm rockets were poured on targets within 23 kilometers in 6 minutes), and the new 3rd Division launched a general attack on the enemy forces in the Erjingshan position with the appearance of half attacking and half training, cāo practicing firepower coverage, infantry coordination and other actual combat subjects. By 4:30 p.m., the battle was over, and no one survived.

On the third night of the counteroffensive, the North China Front, the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, and the Japanese base camp received telegrams from the First Army of the Shanxi Empire in turn, learning that the news of the annihilation of the rescue force and the martyrdom of His Royal Highness King Hengxian of Heyang Palace shook the entire high-ranking Japanese army and members of the royal family. On the same night, Yoshimoto committed suicide by seppuku in his room, and the military headquarters of the First Army in Shanxi was in chaos.

In the fourth day of the counteroffensive, the whole country of Yanhuang Land reported that the Yanhuang Red Party defeated the attacking army of the Japanese invaders, and killed the members of the Japanese Imperial Family, the cousin of the Emperor of the Japanese Emperor, King Hengxian of Heyang Palace. The whole country was boiling, and the anti-Japanese sentiment that had been lingering in the doldrums was swept away.

Because there are photos of the killed King Hengxian of Heyang Palace, many passers-by across the country have bought many newspapers, sent them to relatives and friends, and posted commemorations! Even the people under the leadership of the bald party in Chongqing sent congratulatory telegrams and awards, and it is said that even Chairman Jiang, the leader of the bald party, couldn't help but drink two taels more at night, and kept chanting before going to bed: Niang Xipi! King Hengxian of Heyang Palace, you also have today!!
