Chapter 479: Blitzkrieg

On January 1, 1941, the German army concentrated more than 6,000 fighters of all kinds, tens of thousands of artillery, 4,000 armored vehicles and tanks, and about 3 million troops to attack France on a snowy day, and a total of three troops were divided into three routes, respectively to Belgium, the Netherlands, France and other places, when Jiang Cheng got the news, the Netherlands was ready to surrender, the royal family began to flee to London, and Belgium was retreating, it seems that surrender is only a matter of time. www.biquge.info In France, more than 3.5 million Anglo-French troops were on the lookout, and more than 3 million of them were deployed near the Maginot Line, waiting for the German attack.

In France, this was the way of fighting in World War I -- positional warfare.

The car is sparkling, Ma Xiaoxiao, there are only stars and moon in the dark sky and there is no nasty day machine, of course, the winter wind at night also blows the pedestrians on the road to tremble, on the road, countless Eighth Route Army brushes the road, due to the limited train, most of the troops still have to rely on the footboard, Lin Sanhu in order to show the unity of officers and soldiers, did not get on the train, but let Nie Rongzhen lead the troops to take the train as the vanguard to attack Tengzhou, at this time Tengzhou has been recovered, and the troops are continuing to go north.

"203, is it cold or not?" Lin Sanhu rushed up with someone, looked at Jiang Cheng, who was looking at the telegram with a flashlight on the side of the road, and asked.

"Alright, are the warriors alright?" Jiang Cheng looked at the Eighth Route Army on the road, in this era, there were still some extravagant cotton clothes that had been rotten in later generations, and more people chose light down jackets instead of heavy cotton clothes. The order of hundreds of thousands of cotton clothes in a few days is really not even a splash in China in the future, and in this era it is enough to make all logistics managers scratch their heads.

"This is many times better than when we first arrived in Shaanxi." The soldier next to him heard Jiang Cheng asking, and shouted loudly, in a word, you can hear that this is an old Red Army, these baby seeds have become fewer and fewer, but fortunately, these seeds have sprouted and grown, even in the past, the most basic soldiers of the Red Army, now there are few who are not a squad leader.

"That's good! Comrades, hurry up! When the day dawns, there will be beef soup to drink! Jiang Cheng waved his hand and shouted loudly, and the soldiers responded loudly, and the footsteps sped up.

"Master Lin, look, France and Germany are finally fighting." As he spoke, Jiang Cheng handed the telegram to Lin Sanhu.

Lin Sanhu took a look at it and said with a smile, "France and Germany are worthy of being a world power, with six million troops..."

"Senior Commander Lin, who do you think will win this war?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously, the result of the Franco-German battle On paper, no one would have thought that France would lose so badly.

"Germany has won." Lin Sanhu said with a smile.

"Why?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.

"There is indeed a way of fighting in war that is defensive counterattack, but where is there a defense that has been held for nearly a year? And the strength of the French defense line has long been blown by them to be invincible, won't the Germans pay attention? Now that Germany dares to take the initiative to attack, aren't they fully prepared? And what about the French army? I didn't see any change in their movements in the telegram, and seemed convinced that the Germans would stupidly crash into their lines... French... Outdated! Lin Sanhu smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of contempt.

It is true that the French army, known as the first army in the world, has been immersed in this name for too long, and both tactics and strategic thinking have become somewhat decadent, but it is also an exaggeration to say that France is completely outdated, and the advanced equipment of the French army still stands at the top of the world.

Jiang Cheng smiled, nodded, put the telegram away, looked into the distance and said, "Okamura Ninji should have started moving, right?" It has been five days since we defeated Zaozhuang, and Tengzhou has been captured for two days, and the vanguard has already arrived in Jining, so no matter how slow it is, we should find that our main force is in the west, right? ”

Lin Sanhu bit a soybean and said, "The pressure on Linyi is getting bigger and bigger, but this just shows that Okamura Ningci is panicking, I believe that Xiao Hua can hold it, as long as he hits Jining and sees our troops, Okamura Ningci no longer believes in evil, and he also understands that he has made a mistake in judgment." ”

Lin Sanhu still underestimated Okamura Ningci, Okamura Ningci understood that he was played by Lin Sanhu after getting the fall of Tengzhou, Zaozhuang can also say that it was because of the carelessness of the enemy and the combination of the inside and the outside, and the emptiness of the army led to the fall, so there are 2,000 Japanese puppet troops in Tengzhou behind, and they only lasted less than 24 hours before they were defeated, this is not the main force of the Eighth Route Army, what is it?

Lin Sanhu is going north?

Okamura Ningji looked at the map, and couldn't guess what Lin Sanhu wanted to do, and where their destination was, Okamura Ningji didn't blame Kawamoto, Yuan Shu, Kawashima Yoshiko and others, in the mouths of the Eighth Route Army and the people who were captured alive, Okamura Ningji had already received the news that Lin Sanhu had indeed appeared in Linyi, so Okamura Ningji just admired Lin Sanhu's ability to release false information, and did not doubt whether there was a mole around him.

"Commander, there is a call from the Linyi front, the enemy's will to fight is extremely strong, the firepower is extremely fierce, the ammunition is sufficient, almost every position has been fought to the last man, if you want to completely break through the enemy's position, I am afraid it will take three days to attack with all your strength." A staff officer came in and reported.

"Three days? Will it take three days to defeat a 10-to-1 battle power ratio? Okamura glared at the staff officer, but he also knew that it was unreasonable to blame this staff officer, he took a breath and said, "Tell them that they are just remnants of the enemy left behind!" It's an outcast! I will only give him three days, do not feel sorry for the lives of the soldiers, and launch a decisive attack with a fearless spirit, and I will mobilize all the aviation to support them! ”

"Hey!"

Okamura Ningji looked at Jining, it was one of the most important cities in Shandong, could Lin Sanhu's purpose be there? No, Lin Sanhu's purpose must not be so simple... Where is that?

Okamura Ninji touched his beard and re-sorted his thoughts, the most important thing in the war is to achieve the strategic goal, his own purpose is to completely eliminate the Red Party forces outside Shandong, and Lin Sanhu's strategic purpose is to prevent himself from achieving the strategic goal, where is the key? -- In those 200,000 troops, all they have to rely on is the 200,000 troops, and without these troops, Shandong's public security plan would be a dead letter!

Okamura Ninji felt as if he understood something, and he continued to look at the map - Zaozhuang, Tengzhou, Linyi.... Could it be that Lin Sanhu's purpose was to flank our army and make our army rout?

If it was in Jiang Cheng's original time and space, Okamura Ningji would never have thought that Lin Sanhu's strength would defeat his 200,000 army, even if it was Jiang Zhong's 500,000 central army, it might not be possible, but in this time and space, the Eighth Route Army has already happened one miracle after another, and who would have thought that the Eighth Route Army would defeat tens of thousands of Japanese troops in the first battle of Shanxi? Who would have believed that the Eighth Route Army could use tanks to raid at Suiyuan? Now no Japanese general dares to pat his chest and say that the strength of the Eighth Route Army is only much, Okamura Ningji has such a worry, although there are some cups and snakes, but there is some truth, but Lin Sanhu knows his own strength very well, and Lin Sanhu has a stable personality, and he is unwilling to fight too risky battles, even if it is a flat pass, it is also fought on the premise of victory, so Lin Sanhu did not choose a direct decisive battle, of course, this is also the reason why Okamura Ningji does not understand Lin Sanhu's combat thoughts.

Okamura Ningji felt that he understood Lin Sanhu's intentions, and began to rearrange his troops, ordering the Linyi front to mobilize a part of the troops to the west to prepare for Lin Sanhu's attack, while the other side also allowed Jining and other places to concentrate on defense, and there was no room for loss.

-- Qufu

"The little devil actually ran away?" Lin Sanhu looked at the Eighth Route Army that had already entered the city, and felt inexplicable, shouldn't it be time to stop himself desperately?

"Why do I think Okamura Ninji and we are thinking crookedly?" Lin Sanhu said with a smile to Jiang Cheng.

"Hehe, we've become an armed army now?" Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Then you're welcome, continue to speed up the north!" ”

Lin Sanhu nodded and said, "Order the troops to divide into two ways, and next, it's just one word!" Fast!!! ”

On January 3rd, the 115th Division Kequfu, on the same day Keyanzhou, on the 4th, attacked Ningyang and Wenshang counties at night, attacked Dongping Liangshan at dawn, broke the city at noon, and the photo of the blue sky and white sun flag on the county was sent to Okamura Ningci's hands, looking at the marching troops that could not see the end, Okamura Ningci realized that he was wrong again, Lin Sanhu definitely did not want to attack sideways, but to go north, no matter where Lin Sanhu was going, his goal of completely clearing the Eighth Route Army was almost equivalent to failure, if you sit back and watch Lin Sanhu's strategic transfer, I may become the second Jiang intermediary, you know, the story of the Long March is not a few years old.

"Quick! Fast! Just leave Wu Peifu's troops in Linyi, our main force will turn back immediately, and we must stop Lin Sanhu! Okamura Ningji ordered urgently, of course, it was said that only Wu Peifu was left, but in addition to the thirty or forty thousand troops of the Imperial Army, Okamura Ningji still left a brigade of Japanese troops to continue to attack Linyi, but the intensity was reduced a lot, but Xiao Hua's garrison was almost exhausted, at this time even he himself had picked up the machine gun and stood on the front line, watching the Japanese army begin to retreat, Xiao Hua seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to the ground, he hadn't closed his eyes for a few days, he said with a wry smile, "Damn, this little devil will not retreat, I don't even want him to fight, I'm sleepy. ”

"There are still people in the devil, not all of them are gone, by the way, there is good news, do you want to listen to it?" Peng Mingzhi, who was also exhausted, crawled over and said with a smile.

"Good news? Let's talk about it. Xiao Hua forced himself not to fall asleep, and asked with one hand to take out his cigarette.

"The four regiments of the New Fourth Army are coming up, hey, hey! It's not handed over yet, don't sleep! Peng Mingzhi looked at Xiao Hua, who fell asleep with a cigarette in his mouth, and exclaimed with a wry smile.

Indeed, the non-stop attack of the Japanese army in the past few days has made everyone feel too tired, and if it weren't for the garrison fortifications dug before, I am afraid that they would not have been able to hold this time at all.

Okamura Ninji's troops began to chase Lin Sanhu north, and after Lin Sanhu got the news that the Linyi crisis was resolved, not only did not slow down, but told the troops the good news and accelerated the speed of the attack again. On the night of January 6th, Pingyin was restored, and on the night of the 6th, Taiqian County was recovered, and on the night of the 7th, on the pontoon bridge conjured by Jiang Cheng, Lin Sanhu's troops began to cross the Yellow River, and launched an attack on Taiqian in the early morning of the 8th, and at 7 o'clock, Taiqian County was recovered. Lin Sanhu made full use of rocket artillery and the iron feet of the Eighth Route Army, so that Okamura Ningji felt the power of the blitzkrieg he had always admired for the first time, and what made Okamura Ningji feel even more frightened was that Pingyin was not far from Jinan, that is to say, Lin Sanhu could launch an attack on Jinan at any time, and in Jinan, the garrison troops were only 10,000 people, and in the face of the invincible 115th Division, Okamura Ningji had lost the confidence to rely on these 10,000 people to repel Lin Sanhu's attack. Okamura Ningji sent a telegram to the Japanese army and quickly moved closer to Jinan, first repelling Lin Sanhu's fierce attack before talking about anything else. What Okamura Ninji didn't know was that his order had just gone down, and it only took an hour for it to appear in Lin Sanhu's hands.

Lin Sanhu looked at the deciphered Japanese telegram and smiled, this was what he was waiting for, and he said to the communication soldiers, "Order the troops to attack Liaocheng together!" ”

Okamura Ningji's biggest mistake was to underestimate the Eighth Route Army's desire to attack, Okamura Ningji has been fighting against the National Army, and the central idea of the National Army in the whole war is how to defend the position, and the Eighth Route Army had no place to defend at the beginning of the war, all their base areas were opened up with a knife and a gun, so when Okamura Ningji crushed the Eighth Route Army to Linyi, Okamura Ningji felt that Lin Sanhu must be racking his brains thinking about how to hold the position, But Lin Sanhu was thinking about how to eat the 200,000 living force, 200,000 was too much to eat? Then 11,000 to eat! Now Lin Sanhu is fighting everywhere, but he doesn't leave a single soldier to guard the rear, in Lin Sanhu's eyes, these defenders are also meat, and it is true to eat them, and those cities are all burdens, so leave it to the Japanese army, and when you turn around and eat it a few more times, there will be no one in the Japanese army.

The strategic thinking is different, and the two naturally can't think of going together.

-- Yan'an

"Wow! Wow! Chairman Mao looked at the telegram sent by Lin Sanhu and shouted happily, "Lin Sanhu is doing a good job of turning the edge, you go to my side, I come to your side, you fight yours, I beat mine!" ”

Mr. Zhu, who stayed in Yan'an and waited for the news, nodded and said, "Yes, Okamura Ningci's good iron-walled attack was made full of holes by us, and now Okamura Ningci's troops are constantly chasing behind Lin Sanhu's ass, Lin Sanhu's guy is bad!" When retreating, I didn't forget to plant mines and bomb the railway, so that the Japanese army couldn't get up fast even if they wanted to. ”

Chairman Mao smiled and said, "Good! It's really good! But we played well, and Hitler in Germany played even better. ”

Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Indeed, the battle between Germany and France has been decided. (To be continued.) )
