"Commander, this is the latest and accurate news from Long Yingwei, the Japanese puppet army that entered the customs from outside the pass is three divisions of the Japanese army, one 1st division, one 8th division and one 14th division, and the puppet army of Manchukuo is 100,000!" Liu Ruhan, director of the Confidential Division, held the message he had just received.

came to Qiao Youhua and stood up to salute and report.

Qiao Youhua's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Three divisions, 100,000 puppet troops? I gasped.

Liu Ruhan nodded and said: "Yes, please say so, the total strength of these three Japanese divisions should be no less than 100,000 according to the information that Long Yingwei currently has." ”

Qiao Youhua lightly raised his head and said: "Well, Long Yingwei's intelligence should be accurate, as far as I know, the 1st, 8th, and 14th divisions are all the first divisions of the Japanese army, especially this 1st division, which is the oldest elite A division of the Japanese army, and has a lot of troops under its jurisdiction, and it alone has a total strength of thirty or forty thousand people."

Therefore, there should be no mistake with three devil divisions and more than 100,000 troops. ”

After all, Liu Ruhan has been the director of the confidential department for so long, and he is also from a military background, so he said to Qiao Youhua with concern: "The Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchukuo have a total of 200,000 elite troops, plus the devils in North China, the total strength is probably at least more than 300,000."

And the devils of the Kwantung Army are all elite, they have not suffered any losses, and their combat power is stronger than that of other devil troops. ”

Qiao Youhua nodded silently, Liu Ruhan's analysis is very correct, the Kwantung Army is currently at its peak, and all the divisions and regiments under its jurisdiction are elite with strong combat power, plus the puppet army outside the gate is stronger than the inside of the gate, so this time it will be the most powerful encirclement and suppression in the history of the devil.

Fortunately, today's dragon tooth column is also much stronger than it was at the beginning, and it will not be powerless to fight back.

Qiao Youhua took the telegram sent by Long Yingwei from Liu Ruhan's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and muttered: "It says that the devils and the puppet army have not yet completely entered the customs and arrived in the Pingjin area, so it will take a certain amount of time for them to complete the assembly and rush to the periphery of our base area to border the enemy-occupied area?" ”

Liu Ruhan nodded and said, "Well, it should be right." ”

Qiao Youhua put down the telegram in his hand, stood up, lit a cigarette for himself, walked to the window and smoked, pondered for a long time, he suddenly paused, turned around and said: "Ruhan, immediately upload my order, and all the troops directly under the column headquarters immediately gather urgently and prepare for battle!" ”

Liu Ruhan was taken aback and said, "Commander, the devil and the puppet army haven't come yet, what are you going to do when you gather the team?" ”

Qiao Youhua said: "I've thought about it, the best defense is to attack, the devil and the puppet army are stronger than any time this time, and they are menacing, we can't adopt passive defense tactics and wait for the devil to come to encircle and suppress."

In that case, we can only fight positional battles with the devils, and for us who are in a weak position, that is the last choice.

Now, we should adopt flexible and mobile tactics, move up, and take the initiative to launch an attack on the Japanese theater before the devils and the puppet army reinforcements arrive, so as to attack instead of defend, and fight out, or at least advance the decisive battle area in the future to the enemy-occupied area.

In this way, we will not be too passive, and we will have enough time and space to deal with the Japanese puppet army. ”

After listening to Qiao Youhua's explanation, Liu Ruhan suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go right away." After speaking, he whispered to Qiao Youhua: "Be more careful." Then he turned and walked away.

Qiao Youhua gave an order, and the troops directly under the three columns of the guard regiment, the air defense regiment, and the tank regiment were mobilized one after another, and the troops were all assembled in a short time.

The commanders of the three regiments came to the headquarters together and asked Qiao Youhua for the reason.

"Commander, I don't know what combat mission you have when you suddenly asked us to assemble urgently?" Ma Yunlong, the commander of the air defense regiment, was the first to ask.

Ma Yunlong has been following Qiao Youhua since Taihu surrendered to the present, and those who fought in the south and north can be regarded as veterans of Qiao Youhua's side.

Qiao Youhua took out a cigarette and gave it to Zheng Yunshan, Liu Jianhua and him, and then took out another one for himself and lit it: "The combat mission for you to urgently assemble this time is very simple, that is, follow me and launch a fierce attack on the Japanese theater together, and before the Japanese puppet army starts encirclement and suppression again, first turn him upside down, so that the little devils and the second devils have no place to stand!" ”

Saying that, Qiao Youhua sent the intelligence report he had just received to the three of them, and after listening to it, the three of them all agreed with Qiao Youhua's decision and resolutely supported the implementation.

Soon, after Qiao Youhua made some preparations, he left the base camp of Pingshan County with thousands of troops from his three regiments, 28 88 anti-aircraft guns, 18 No. 4 tank fighting vehicles, and hundreds of military trucks.

When he left the city, political commissar Guo Meng rushed to see him off when he heard the news.

Regarding Qiao Youhua's sudden decision on the battle plan, Guo Meng did not express much opposition, but just told Qiao Youhua to be more careful and pay attention to safety.

After leaving Pingshan County, Zheng Yunshan, the head of the guard regiment who was riding in a military truck with Qiao Youhua, asked, "Commander, which direction do we plan to counterattack from this time?" ”

Qiao Youhua has actually been thinking about whether it is appropriate to launch a counteroffensive from the defense area of that brigade since he had this idea.

Qiao Youhua believes that the final decisive battle with the Japanese puppet army, which is dominated by the Kwantung Army, should still be in the northeast of the base area of the Longya Column.

That is, within the generation area from Baoding to Cangzhou.

After thinking about it and thinking about it again, Qiao Youhua decided that he would still send out from Jiang Haidong's first brigade defense area to attack Dingzhou, Quyang, and Anguo counties, which were not attacked last time.

As a result, the reinforcements of the North China Front and the Kwantung Army will be greatly shocked, and their deployment and planning for the deployment and build-up of troops will be completely disrupted.

For Qiao Youhua's side, this is what he wants to see the most, and it is also the most beneficial to himself.

The regiments directly under the three columns, plus all of Jiang Haidong's 1st Brigade, have a total strength of more than 15,000 troops, 18 advanced tanks, 28 powerful 88 antiaircraft guns that can be used both air-to-ground and ground, and hundreds of artillery pieces of other calibers of various sizes.

Well-equipped and well-trained, it is absolutely easy to attack Dingzhou, Anguo and Quyang, which have lost the strategic bridgehead of Cheng'an Town.

It was only a matter of time before they were all captured.

After deciding, Qiao Youhua said to Zheng Yunshan: "This time, let's fight Dingzhou, Anguo, Quyang, and go to the first brigade station!" ”

Zheng Yunshan's expression was excited when he heard this, and he clapped his hands fiercely and said, "Okay!" Last time, the brothers of our guard battalion didn't fight happily, and they led people to move to Dingzhou City several times, but they failed to attack as they wished, this time we must let the little devils and the second devils have a good taste of our power! ”

After saying this, Zheng Yunshan said again: "Commander, this time Yunshan asked to lead the guard regiment to take the lead in the main attack, responsible for attacking Dingzhou City!" ”

Qiao Youhua nodded and agreed: "I agree with this, I originally planned to directly let your guard regiment go on the first wave, Dingzhou is the most important gateway to the south of Baoding, as long as you take it."

The devils will collapse the southern barrier defense line composed of Dingzhou, Quyang, and Anguo, and we can take advantage of the situation to wave our troops north and attack Baoding! Therefore, this time, the guard regiment will take the lead, and we must take out the strength of my dragon's tooth ace elite troops, break through the devil's Dingzhou defense line at the fastest speed, and raise the prestige of our army! ”

"Yes, Commander, don't worry, your humble position will never disgrace you, you must let the devil know that our Dragon Tooth Guard Regiment is powerful!" Zheng Yunshan is confident and swears.

…………

At the same time that Qiao Youhua secretly led the three elite troops directly under him to the north, preparing to attack instead of defending, and launch another attack on Dingzhou.

Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the 1st Division, Tsukasaki Tsukada, commander of the 8th Division, and Kenji Dohihara, commander of the 14th Division, all gathered in the conference room of General Sugiyama Moto, commander of the North China Front.

Kenji Dohihara was the last to arrive, so when he took his seat, he was a little apologetic to Sugiyama Moto, Kawabe Shozo, and Yokoyama Isamu They smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I drank a little too much yesterday, so, I am late, please forgive me." ”

Isamu Yokoyama and Kenji Dohihara are also old comrades-in-arms and old friends, and they joked with a playful smile: "Dohi Yuanjun, look at your red face and good complexion, I don't want to travel long distances at all, I've been tired of traveling by boat, did you find a beautiful woman to accompany you last night?" ”

Kenji Dohihara was a little embarrassed and said: "Yokoyama-kun smiled, I came by plane, so I wasn't tired, but yesterday Chief Sugiyama and Chief Riverside were warmly entertained, I drank a few more glasses and slept well, so my complexion looks pretty good today." ”

Yokoyama nodded abruptly and said, "Oh, no wonder. ”

Seeing that they had been greeting each other for a long time, Kawabe Shozo, as the presiding officer of the meeting, interrupted them with a dry cough and said, "Two generals, time is pressing, next, let's discuss how to use troops against the dragon's tooth column." ”

When Isamu Yokoyama and Kenji Dohihara heard this, they put away their jokes, sat up straight and said, "What the general said by the river is very true, so please start." ”

After looking at each other, Kawabe Shozo and Sugiyama Moto said: "At present, our North China Front Army can not gather many troops, but in order to strengthen the chances of winning this encirclement and suppression, the 26th Division and several Mongolian cavalry teams were transferred from the Mongolian army.

However, this encirclement and suppression will still be carried out by the three generals and your troops, so I and Chief Sugiyama would like to hear the opinions and plans of the three generals! As we all know, Qiao Youhua has extraordinary tactical ability, and he has repeatedly defeated the encirclement and suppression army of our North China Front, and the strength of his subordinates has developed rapidly, which should not be underestimated, and it is extremely difficult to deal with.

Therefore, I hope that everyone will brainstorm and work together to deal with it, and strive to formulate a perfect encirclement and suppression battle plan to annihilate Qiao Youhua and his subordinates in one fell swoop! ”
