Chapter 945: Iron Wall Enclosure ()

"You're right, the cavalry's mobility is indeed very strong, but they also have a fatal weakness, that is, the ability to attack is too weak.

Now that we have learned from the past in Yixian and other places, we can pass on the order to go down and bring all the base areas into a state of first-class combat readiness, and never allow the tragedy in Yi County to happen again, and all the county towns and towns in the base areas should adopt the defensive strategy of closing their doors and closing their doors and clearing the fields with strong walls, so as to prevent the devil cavalry from attacking and harassing them.

In addition, the tank armored brigades on the front line, the tank regiments of various divisions, and the guard regiments directly under the column should be immediately transferred out, and these seven tank and armored regiments should be dispersed with battalion level as combat units, and rushed to our major county towns in Baoding, Cangzhou, and other areas in the middle, and stationed them in coordination with the local militia left behind.

Mobile units of tanks, armoured vehicles, and military trucks patrol back and forth on major communication arteries, and attack immediately if the enemy is spotted, and if the enemy's cavalry escapes, they immediately use the radio in tanks and armored vehicles to contact other friendly forces.

Inform the Japanese army of the direction of escape, so that other fraternal units can intercept and encircle it, and give full play to the advantages of our radio.

The cavalry of the devils is a lone army, and now it is scattered and lacks unified and effective command, and we have the advantage of radio communication, so it is not difficult to break it.

In addition, we should fully mobilize all the military and civilian people in the base areas to act as our eyes and ears, monitor the movements of the Japanese cavalry, make telephone calls where there are telephones, and put wolf smoke to warn them wherever they do not have telephones, and notify the private offices and garrisons in the nearest towns, so that they can conduct higher-level warnings by radio or telephone.

In order to contact our army's tank armored and mechanized infantry units to rush to encircle and suppress the Japanese army.

This method is called iron-walled encirclement, relying on the main railway lines, highway lines and other transportation arteries, to divide our base area into a grid shape, and our tank armored units and mechanized infantry patrol along these grid lines.

Within the grid, there are also militias in our base areas, infantry garrisons in various places, and thousands of civilians to provide us with intelligence and other support.

In this way, at most half a month, we will destroy as many devil cavalry as there are in our base area! ”

Zuo Quan is so smart, listening to Qiao Youhua's explanation, he understood at the moment, nodded and praised: "Well, this plan is really very good." ”

Qiao Youhua said in a solemn tone to Liu Ruhan and Wan Ying'er: "Give me an order, all the officers and soldiers of the troops involved in the encirclement and suppression, and the militia and the people will remember one thing for me, that is, in this iron-walled encirclement and suppression battle, our dragon tooth column does not want a single prisoner, but if the devil cavalry is found, they will all be annihilated on the spot, leaving no living mouth, so as to comfort the souls of the soldiers and civilians in the whole city of Yi County."

Avenge all your compatriots who died under the butcher's knife of the devil! ”

The corners of Zuo Quan's mouth moved, but he still didn't stop the order given by Qiao Youhua, after the Yixian massacre, and then talking about preferential treatment of prisoners of war and human rights with this group of miserable and inhumane Oriental beasts, it was simply a move to take off your pants and fart.

If they are not all wiped out, it will not be enough for the people to be angry, it will not be enough to comfort the sacrificed anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, and it will not be enough to serve the military hearts of the officers and men of the three armed services. ”

Seeing that the Chief of Staff of the Left Power had no objections; Liu Ruhan and Wan Yinger stood up and responded in unison: "Yes!" Then they turned around and took the order to leave.

Okamura Ninji probably never dreamed of it, because of his arrival and his roundabout tactics, which directly led to the birth of Qiao Youhua's version of the Iron Wall Siege, which in turn was used on the Japanese army.

That's right, Qiao Youhua's ironclad encirclement and suppression plan was inspired by Okamura Ningji's historical use in North China to deal with the vast number of guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army who were active in the anti-Japanese battlefield behind enemy lines in North China.

Historically, after 1940, the Eighth Route Army developed very well in various anti-Japanese battlefields in North China, and its strength was greatly improved in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War.

However, when Okamura Ninji succeeded Tada Jun as commander of the North China Front of the Japanese invasion of China, he made an ironclad battle plan, which caused heavy losses to the Eighth Route Army in North China in just a few years, losing at least half of its base areas and troops.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army on the front line of Taihang Mountain was attacked by the Japanese special forces and the air force, resulting in the sacrifice of Zuo Quan, deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army.

If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese launched the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War broke out, the elite armies of the North China Front and the Kwantung Army in China would have been continuously transferred to fight in Southeast Asia. ,

As a result, Okamura Ninji's forces were insufficient, and the anti-Japanese forces in North China might really be encircled and wiped out by the Japanese army, or they would be forced to transfer and withdraw from the main battlefield in North China.

It can be seen from this that Okamura Ninji's ironclad plan is so powerful.

And now, the Dragon's Tooth Column is more advantageous than the Japanese army in North China in history, because this iron-walled siege was carried out inside their base area, which was a local operation, with the support of thousands of people, and the number of devil cavalry who infiltrated the Dragon's Tooth Column base area was far inferior to the Eighth Route Army in history.

So, the plan will work faster.

The order was quickly conveyed, and the tank and armored units that had planned to launch a general attack on Zhuozhou and Bazhou after dawn quietly withdrew.

The guard regiment then evacuated the front line of Bazhou in military trucks and motorcycles, led by Zheng Yunshan and others, and returned to Renqiu in Wen'an Town.

After the tank regiment of the 4th Division arrived at Renqiu with them one after the other, they quickly divided into two routes and rushed towards Hejian, Suning and other places.

The tank and armored brigade continued to move south along the road, and after passing through Suning and other places, the troops were divided into east and west routes, and rushed to Cangzhou and the areas of Dingzhou and Wuqiang County south of Baoding.

The tank regiments of the 1st and 2nd Divisions also withdrew to Baoding and Cangzhou overnight, and after replenishing fuel, they immediately took the battalion level as a combat unit and went out of the city along the road to carry out mobile patrols towards the surrounding major towns.

Qiao Youhua's ironclad encirclement soon began to bear fruit, in the northwest of Baoding, south of Yi County, Mancheng County is ten kilometers north, two Japanese cavalry converge here, is about to raid Mancheng County, but found that the soldiers and civilians in the city have already prepared, blocked the city gate, thousands of soldiers and civilians have armed with various weapons, cold weapons and so on to the city head for defense.

With the experience of Yi County, the soldiers and civilians of the whole city played a slogan and banner on the city head, swearing to defend their hometown to the death, and never let the tragedy of Yi County recur in them.

One of these two cavalry was the initiator of the massacre in Yi County, and the devils tried to launch two attacks, both of which failed because the city gate was blocked, the defenders tried their best to resist, and lacked effective siege equipment.

At this time, the defenders in the city quickly alerted the defenders of Qingshui County by telephone, and the 1st Battalion of the 1st Tank Regiment of the 1st Division learned the news and immediately carried about a company of infantry and quickly turned around from the road south of Qingshui County to rush to help.
