Cai Wenzhi walked to the map and explained while making a comparison: "The 21st Division of the Japanese Army and the North China Front Army are each directly under the jurisdiction of the 21st Infantry Regiment, led by Major General Iwai Torajiro, commander of the 21st Infantry Regiment, and have jurisdiction over the 21st Division Search Team, the 82nd and 83rd Infantry Wings, the 5th Squadron of the Independent Light Armored Corps, the 1st Brigade of the 8th Tank Wing, the 1st Independent Engineer Squadron, the 9th Independent Machine Gun Brigade and other troops, with 100 cars, one armored train, and two trucks, which have set off from Beiping this morning. Counting the time of the battle, it is expected to arrive in Baoding within two days! ”

"In addition, the 110th Division of Baoding, led by Major General Taro Katayama Province, commander of the 133rd Infantry Brigade, has a mixed branch of infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineering, and baggage, and is heading south along the Pinghan Line, and it seems that there is an attempt to open up contact with Shijiazhuang."

Seeing that the Japanese army was really making a big move, Chief of Staff Zhou was not surprised but overjoyed, and couldn't help but smile and say in a loud voice: "Good, good, good!" I'm not afraid that he will go south, but I'm afraid that he won't come. Moreover, so many troops were dispatched at once, and the Japanese army in Beiping was simply dispatched. God-given opportunity, Lord! ”

Zheng Weiguo was also a little excited, touched his freshly shaved chin and smiled: "Well, if that's the case, maybe we really have a chance to enter Beiping and shave the skin of the little devil!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou agreed: "The general seat is right! At present, Beiping's troops are empty, as long as we find a way to drag the Japanese troops in Tianjin, Baoding, and Shijiazhuang for a few days, we will be sure to frighten Duotian Jun's farts and urine, and the siege of Baotou will not be solved! ”

Director Cai Wenzhi suggested: "Tianjin's 27th Division should be stationed in Tangshan and other places in eastern Hebei, and the strength is not sufficient. As long as we send one more regiment to attack Jinnan, the threat of the enemy along this road will be very limited. ”

"The Japanese army in Baoding is still the old way, using the terrain, villages, towns, and rivers to block the attack layer by layer, and then sending a team to attack and harass its rear, which can delay the enemy for at least three to seven days."

"Zhangjiakou's independent mixed second brigade is even simpler, although there is the Pingsui railway, but the railways in this area are all climbing, we only need to blow up a few of these dangerous places, we can force the Japanese army to climb the ravine. By the time they climbed to Beiping, we would have already played a triumphant song! ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded with satisfaction. Say, "Hmm." I think these suggestions are all feasible. Chief of Staff, you and Dingwu work hard, and you must come up with a complete plan before tonight! ”

The two of them hurriedly said: "Yes, the main seat!" ”

I'm leaving. Division Commander Liu suddenly arrived. When they met, they asked, "Commander-in-Chief Zheng." Are you preparing to attack Beiping? ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and smiled: "Senior Commander Liu's news is really well-informed, we are discussing it here!" He also explained: "I plan to ask the General Staff to come up with a set of combat plans first, and then we will discuss them in detail in the evening." I didn't expect Master Liu to be more anxious than us! ”

Master Liu smiled. said: "Who can not be tempted by such a rare fighter!" After a moment of conversation, he added: "But I always feel that this flaw is too coincidental, as if it was deliberately revealed to us!" ”

Zheng Weiguo was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Do you suspect that this is a trap of the Japanese army?" ”

Master Liu nodded and said, "There is indeed such a possibility!" Commander-in-Chief Zheng, think about it, why did the enemy not move early or late, but went south at this time? Based on the intelligence capabilities of the Japanese army, it should be known that we still have three corps that have not moved. Don't they take precautions? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou was puzzled: "Tatian Jun's move is indeed a bit big, but if it is a trap, there is a lack of soldiers and major generals around Beiping, what can we do?" You can't conjure up an army out of thin air! ”

After Zheng Weiguo listened, he was also vigilant. He remembered that when he was a special forces soldier in the past, before the first mission, the instructor in charge of guidance had warned him, "If you find out that things are easy, it must be the enemy's conspiracy!" "Although special operations are very different from this kind of conventional warfare, the basic principles are the same. And history has already told him many times what a cunning opponent the Japanese army was. Why would such an opponent make such a low-level mistake?

However, some people don't see it that way, and even think that Master Liu is pretending to be "amazing words", such as Director Cai Wenzhi. Director Cai once went to the East to study, and was a top student of Lu University, and also made suggestions in the Battle of Xuzhou, and made great contributions to the "Taierzhuang Victory". immediately retorted: "It turns out that Division Commander Liu fights all by intuition and is not based on intelligence?" ”

He also said: "The arrogance of the Japanese army is not a day or two, before and after the victory in Taierzhuang last year, the little devils are not the same as the light soldiers, and they have committed a taboo in the soldiers?" ”

Senior Commander Liu was not angry, but explained: "Intelligence is important, and reasonable analysis and judgment are also very necessary!" The situation before the victory in Taierzhuang was favorable to the Japanese army, which was very different from now. As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, it must be a demon, and until the intentions of the Japanese army are clear, I suggest that your army should postpone its actions. ”

Cai Wenzhi sneered: "The truth of the soldier's speed, Master Liu won't not understand, right!" The fighter plane is fleeting, how can we have time to deal with it calmly? What's more, Baotou is like a dangerous egg, even if we can wait, can Chief Fu wait? ”

Master Liu waved his hand and said, "If you miss one opportunity, there will be the next one; If you fall into the trap, you'll never get a chance! Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. Director Cai, the way to use soldiers, or prudence first! ”

Cai Wenzhi was young in the end, and after a few words, he was a little uncontrollable, and said with a blushing face: "What caution comes first, I think it is a guerrilla habit, and it is ......."

Seeing that he wanted to say more, Zheng Weiguo hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, Dingwu!" Don't be a battle of wills. ”

Cai Wenzhi shouted unwillingly: "The main seat! ”

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said: "To fight or not, let's discuss it later." You first assist the chief of staff in formulating a plan, and I will have a good talk with Division Commander Liu. ”

Cai Wenzhi was a little happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the general seat!" The lowly will definitely draw up a set of impeccable battle plans! As he spoke, he deliberately put on his hat in front of Master Liu, and walked out of the hall with his head held high.

Zheng Weiguo looked at his back. couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "This guy! He turned around again and said to Senior Commander Liu: "Senior Commander Liu, Dingwu had a lot of collisions just now, and I am here to compensate you on his behalf!" ”

Division Commander Liu waved his hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief Zheng is serious, I am not a person with a small belly!" Young people, it's a good thing to have a lot of energy! ”

He also said approvingly: "I have seen the combat plan formulated by this Director Cai, it is very good, it is indeed a rare talent, but he has only been in the army for a short time." It seems to be a little inexperienced. Just sharpen it a little. It will be a great thing in the future! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile: "Division Commander Liu will not be bad at looking at people!" He also said: "General Seat, Division Commander Liu, you continue to talk, I will go back to the staff headquarters first!" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Okay!" Although the action is uncertain now. However, the battle plan must be drawn up first. So as not to take time. Unprepared. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly replied and said, "Please rest assured, our staff department has been prepared before. Be sure to bring it out before the meeting tonight. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, that's good!" ”

After Chief of Staff Zhou left, Division Commander Liu asked, "Commander-in-Chief Zheng, are you still planning to attack Beiping?" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled and asked rhetorically, "How can you see it?" ”

Master Liu smiled: "You don't want to sell Guanzi, I already saw it!" ”

Zheng Weiguo didn't hide it, and said frankly: "Not bad! Master Liu, I really want to fight this battle! Three reasons, first, Baotou must not be saved; Second, the fighter plane should not be missed; Third, we have the strength to fight! ”

Master Liu asked, "Then you haven't considered the risk?" If this battle is lost, it will not only be a problem in Baotou! ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "This is exactly where I feel entangled. Division Commander Liu, what do you think the trap of the Japanese army might be? ”

Division Commander Liu shook his head ashamedly and said, "Without intelligence support, I can't guess for a while, so I can only analyze it from several aspects." ”

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "Master Liu, please speak!" ”

Division Commander Liu analyzed: "It is nothing more than two aspects: troops and weapons. It is possible that the Japanese army secretly deployed troops in Beiping or the surrounding areas, and they could be quickly reinforced at any time; It's also possible that they have new powerful weapons, such as poison gas, chariots, etc. ”

Zheng Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I guess these are also these two reasons. But I don't think the enemy's plot is to be feared! He also explained: "Now that the Japanese troops in North China are a turnip and a pit, how many mobile troops can Tada Jun have?" Counting the soldiers in the township, it won't be more than 10,000 dead! ”

Master Liu nodded approvingly and said, "Well, that's good!" If you look at the Beiping area alone, I'm afraid that there are not even 3,000. Then he asked, "What about weapons?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a slight meaning: "Tada Jun has his calculations, and I also have my preparations. If you talk about weapons alone, you really don't be afraid of him! Even if it's poisonous gas or something, we have enough gas masks and gas suits. Moreover, Beiping is a place where China and foreign countries gather, with consulates of various countries and a large number of expatriates, Tada Jun is no matter how mad he is, he is afraid that he will not dare to risk the disapproval of the world! ”

Division Commander Liu asked again: "What about the Japanese reinforcements in Tianjin and other places?" ”

Zheng Weiguo explained: "We have analyzed it, and there will not be too many troops that can be reinforced, and they are all within the scope of what can be handled. And we don't have to take Beiping, if the enemy is strong, we can withdraw to the south of the Yongding River! As long as we can mobilize the Japanese army on a large scale, it will also be a victory for us. ”

Division Commander Liu was silent for a moment, then finally nodded, and then suggested: "Although we don't know what the Japanese army relies on at the moment? But there must be a reason why they did it. If Commander-in-Chief Zheng is determined to fight this battle, then I suggest that a few more strong reserves must be kept in order to prevent it from happening! ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Of course!" ”

Two days later, the Iwai Tiger detachment of the Japanese army from Beiping arrived in Baoding and subsequently took over the defense of Baoding. The 110th Division of the Japanese Army, which was originally stationed in Baoding, took advantage of the situation to move south, opening up the connection between Baoding and Shijiazhuang.

Seeing that the time had come, the troops in Jizhong, which had already crossed the Yongding River in concealment, immediately began to counterattack. The 53rd Army, the 63rd Army, the 97th Army, the armored cavalry division, the engineering troops, the baggage troops, the heavy artillery brigade, the air defense brigade, the field artillery brigade, the mountain artillery brigade and other main forces were all dispatched. There are more than 180 cannons with a caliber of more than 75 mm alone, and their firepower can be described as unprecedentedly powerful. Counting auxiliary forces (militia, local forces). The total number of troops exceeded 100,000, and more than 50,000 young and strong laborers from the base areas drove their own horses, mules or carts to help transport supplies.

The army as a whole was divided into four routes, the first road was dominated by the 53rd Army, and its 116th Division took Baiyangdian as a cover to launch an attack on the Pinghan Railway north of Baoding with lightning speed, once again cutting off the communication between Baoding and Beiping. The 3rd Central Hebei Division, as well as the 1st Jinchaji Division, the 6th Division (Yimanxu Military Region), and the Zhao Yukun Detachment also participated in the battle. According to the plan drawn up before the war, the railways and highways in this area also suffered, and it was not so easy for the Japanese army to move south along the Pinghan Line in the future.

After the 116th Division was dispatched, the main force of the 53rd Army was also quickly dispatched. They will move along the eastern side of the Pyonghan line. Pounced directly on Beiping Xiyuan. There, they will be supported by the Pingxi Army Division of the Eighth Route Army.

The second route was the main force of this operation, which consisted of the 97th Army, armored cavalry divisions, artillery brigades directly under the central government, engineering troops, and baggage troops. This unit will move north from the 3rd Division and attack Beiping directly from Nanyuan.

Among them, the 97th Division of the 34th Army is the vanguard of the army. After the ministry crossed the Daqing River. Quickly entered the "Yongqing Underground Great Wall". After these months of exploration and restoration. At present, the "Underground Great Wall" has dredged the main road from Baxian to the Anci section of the Yongding River. As long as the supplies were sufficient, the large army could appear on the Japanese defense line without knowing it.

After the battle began, the 34th Division was helped by the special combat team. He successively took the two cities of Anci and Langfang, and broke through the "Yongding River Defense Line" carefully constructed by the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

The third route was mainly composed of the 63rd Army, which was the right flank of the entire attack group, responsible for pinning down the Tianjin garrison, outflanking the Pingdong area, and cutting off the connection between Beiping and the eastern Hebei side. Its main force, the 91st Division, soon took Yangcun after the 34th Division captured Kuofang. This is the main road from Tianjin to Beiping.

The Fourth Road was formed by a regiment of the 63rd Army, and its purpose was also to involve the Tianjin garrison. After the unit was dispatched, it directly inserted itself into the area south of Tianjin, and joined forces with the troops of the 4th Division of Central Hebei to launch a diversionary offensive against the Japanese army.

"Fire!"

Rumble! With a loud bang, another Japanese bunker was destroyed. In less than half a day, one-fifth of the fortifications that the Japanese army had built in Gyeonggi were destroyed. Since the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, no unit has ever been able to penetrate so far into enemy-occupied territory. The soldiers and civilians in the occupied areas were surprised and delighted when they saw the long-lost blue sky and white sun flag, and they rushed to tell each other. Many young men are armed with all kinds of weapons, and they have to go to war.

"General seat, the people's hearts are available!" Chief of Staff Zhou held a stack of telegrams and said happily: "Wherever our army goes, the enemy army is invincible, the people are eating pot pulp, the army and the people are hating the enemy, and this battle will be won!" ”

The staff officers also cheered: "Wan Sheng!" ”

Zheng Weiguo was also very happy, nodded, and said, "Tell the commanders of all troops that they must pay attention to the discipline of the troops." No matter how hard it is, don't disturb the people! This operation is our first major counteroffensive, and we must not let the common people down against our army. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile: "The general seat just rest assured, Lao Cheng will take care of it." ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled and said, "That's right! Then he asked, "Is there any movement of the enemy?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou replied: "The Japanese expatriates in Beiping and Tianjin have been organized, and the Japanese garrisons in Baoding, Tianjin, and Zhangjiakou are all gathering and mobilizing troops, and they should be preparing to reinforce Beiping." In addition, the defenders on the periphery of Beiping were also tightening their contraction, and most of the small and medium-sized strongholds in Pingnan, Pingxi, and Pingdong were abandoned. ”

Zheng Weiguo frowned slightly, and asked, "There are no suspicious signs?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet." The intelligence departments of various systems, including those of our theater of operations, the Eighth Route Army, as well as the military command, the central command, and even the anti-Japanese regiment and other civilian organizations have all been mobilized, but none of the Japanese troops have been found to have any abnormal moves. ”

Zheng Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, inform all troops to continue to move forward, and strive to launch a unified attack on Beiping City before dusk tomorrow!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly said: "Yes, General Seat!" ”

In the city of Beiping, the headquarters of the enemy's North China Front. Admiral Tada was pacing around the war room in a rage, his shiny boots rattling on the floor. The chief of staff, Yamashita Fumi, stood respectfully aside. The other officers stood in two rows in front, including Lieutenant General Kuichi Tanaka, the commander of the 21st Division, all of whom bent down and bowed their heads, not even daring to make a sound.

Despite how "deferential" they behaved, the furious Tada Jun did not let them go, stopping from time to time and pointing his scabbard at the noses of the officers and shouting: "Incompetent! ”

The officers did not dare to openly refute, so they had to bow their heads and say, "Hayi! ”

"The incompetence of all, the disgrace of the army!"

"Hello!"

……

To say that the "plan to lure the enemy" in the past few days was completely carried out in accordance with Tada Jun's ideas, and the 41st Group Army did take the bait, but what he didn't expect was that Zheng Weiguo's strength would swell like this. The original clever plan of "inviting you into the urn" turned out to be "luring the wolf into the room"!

According to Tada's idea, the strategy of luring the enemy can be used, but it cannot be lost too badly. In particular, the Chinese army cannot be allowed to break through the Yongding River so quickly, because Beiping is an international city, and there are a large number of European and American people.

It's good now, in less than three days, the periphery of Peking has become a pot of porridge. Not to mention Reuters, even the Roadside News Agency also knows that the Chinese army is carrying out a large-scale counterattack on Beiping, an important town in North China and the former capital. Not to mention saving face, the Japanese Army's foundation is about to fall off.

After scolding for a while, Tada Jun felt that his throat was unbearably thirsty, and he hurriedly reached for the water cup on the table. Suddenly, Ding Zero...... The phone on the desk rang. Tada Jun stretched out his hand to pick up the phone and said in a deep voice: "Moxi Moxi, I'm Tada Jun!" ”

A panicked voice came from the phone: "Your Excellency Commander, Nanyuan Airport is lost, and the plane is blown up!" ”

"Yaga!" Tada Jun scolded angrily, and hurriedly asked: "How many planes have you lost!" ”

"The airport has lost contact, and the exact damage is not yet known!"

Bang! Annoyed, Tada Jun was so angry that he dropped the telephone. Seeing that his emotions were a little out of control, Yamashita Fengwen hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Excellency Commander, please calm down!" Anger won't solve the problem. ”

Tada Jun took a deep breath and said angrily: "Now that the battle is like this, how can you let me explain to the base camp and the emperor!" ”

Yamashita said, "Your Excellency, it is indeed a bad thing that the Shina Army has grown to such an extent under our noses. But isn't it a good thing that now they have fallen into the trap that we have carefully laid out? We should be glad! ”

Tada Jun finally calmed down his anger and said in a hoarse voice, "Sodosne! But the enemy is much stronger than we thought. With only the 33rd Division and the 34th Division, do you think we are sure of destroying them? ”

"Of course!" Yamashita Fengwen waved his arms and comforted: "Our army is invincible!" ”

Tada Jun nodded with satisfaction and said in appreciation, "Yo Xi! Ordered the troops to begin a counterattack tonight. If I lose this battle, I will judge myself to thank the Emperor. As he spoke, he looked at the officers in the audience viciously, and said word by word: "But before I cut myself, I must kill you bastards first!" ”

"Hello!"
