Chapter 211: Joint Command (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets, Asking for Various !! ）

After receiving the battle plan sent by Shi Jianfei, Chen Feng quickly discussed with the officers on the front line, and finally believed that the possibility of success of this plan was very high, and it was a good opportunity to recover the entire territory of Rehe. However, there must be a premise for this, that is, the 40th Group Army must provide a large number of weapons and equipment for the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei in a short period of time, and the number of at least three divisions or more.

In addition, Chen Feng also knew the details of the three independent battalions, although there were a lot of people, but the weapons and equipment were very poor, as far as Liu Guodong's battalion was not bad, because this guy had attacked a military train transporting weapons and equipment before, and robbed a large number of weapons and equipment of the Japanese puppet army, at least one gun per person. However, the two battalions of La Pingfu and Hu Haitao are far behind, saying that there are more than 10,000 people each, but only more than half of the troops have guns, and the rest are still using large blades. The combat effectiveness is not very strong. Therefore, in order to achieve the strategic goal of recovering Rehe, the weapons and equipment of these three battalions must also be strengthened, which is a bit of pressure on the current 40th Army.

After two transactions, there are not many weapons in stock on Daqingshan, and in addition to the expansion of the 40th Group Army by nearly 100,000 people, it is really difficult to come up with weapons and equipment that arm more than 100,000 people in a short period of time. What's more, Chen Feng is clear about the financial capacity of the Eighth Route Army, and once this batch of weapons and equipment is sent, it will really be a meat bun and a dog. If it was just 1,800 guns, Chen Feng would have done it, but this move was 50,000 or 60,000 guns, worth millions of oceans, and even Chen Feng felt distressed.

What's more. The reason why Chen Feng sent his instructor to send troops to Rehe and eastern Hebei. In addition to creating a powerful momentum of encirclement for the Japanese puppet army in the Pingjin area, it also has the intention of containing the Kwantung Army. The last time the Kwantung Army entered the customs and the Japanese Fourth Division was incorporated into the Mongolian Army, Chen Feng had a very bad premonition, that is, the Kwantung Army could enter the customs at any time to fight.

This time, the 40th Army launched the Battle at the end of the Pingsui Line, mainly to seize Guisui and Baotou, once it took control of these two cities. Then the Pingsui Line was Xuanhua and Baotou was completely controlled by the 40th Group Army. The Japanese army only controlled a few hundred kilometers of railway lines, which were several thousand miles long. In order to prevent the Japanese army from letting the Kwantung Army enter the customs again when the dog jumped over the wall. That's why Chen Feng put the tutor in his current position. It is believed that with the containment of instructors and air defense brigades and other units, the Japanese army should no longer allow the Kwantung Army to enter the Suicha area to fight.

However, if the instructor's operational plan is agreed, then the 40th Army will have to suffer the consequences of the elite of the Kwantung Army moving south. As an important passage connecting Northeast China and North China, Rehe is far more important than cities such as Guisui and Baotou. Once the entire territory of Rehe was threatened, then the most direct way for the Japanese army to do so was to order the elite of the Kwantung Army to fight southward.

The Kwantung Army is an unstable factor, to be honest, Chen Feng is not willing to provoke that behemoth at this critical time, although the Kwantung Army at this time is only a few hundred thousand people, but if this elite of the Japanese army enters the pass in a big way, the 40th Group Army is really not sure that it will be able to resist this force. You must know that the Kwantung Army at this time was not the fleeing force at the end of World War II, and the reason why the Kwantung Army behaved so badly at the end of World War II was entirely because the elite of the Kwantung Army had been evacuated during the eight-year war.

During this period, the Kwantung Army has always been a firefighting team and blood transfusion device in North China, Central China, South China and the entire Pacific Theater, and there was a crisis in the war in that place, so the first thing the Japanese army base camp thought of was to send the elite of the Kwantung Army to reinforcements, and then form new troops from the country to supplement the Kwantung Army after the battle eased a little, and in the long run, when the Soviet Army entered the Northeast with a million Red Army, the Kwantung Army actually had a number left, claiming to be 1.2 million troops, but in fact all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, There is less than one division and regiment that is really combat-ready.

But now it's different, after 7 years of fighting with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Kwantung Army has fully adapted to the climate of the Northeast, and now is the time when morale is strong.

After thinking about it, Chen Feng decided to talk to Mr. Zhu of the Eighth Route Army first to see what they thought. To Chen Feng's surprise, Mr. Zhu's attitude was very clear and firm, that is, to fight. But Mr. Zhu also said that the fight must be fought, but the extent of the fight must be grasped well.

At present, neither the 40th Group Army nor the Eighth Route Army has the strength to permanently occupy eastern Hebei or Rehe, and once the North China Front Army reacts and joins forces with the Kwantung Army to flank it, even if it is as strong as the 40th Group Army, it can only obediently get out, and there is no chance to even get out. Therefore, this battle can only be fought and run, the two troops will make trouble in Rehe and eastern Hebei, knock out the numbers of the 40th Group Army and the 18th Group Army, and pull out the troops that have been pulled up.

Anyway, as long as they do not occupy these places permanently, even if the Japanese let the Kwantung Army enter the pass, they will only send one or two divisions and regiments, and they will not enter the pass in a big way, after all, there are still hundreds of thousands of Red Army troops in the Far East of the Soviet Union staring at them, and it is impossible for the Japanese to spit out the fat in the northeast no matter what.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng immediately sent a telegram to the Eighteenth Group Army, hoping that a joint command could be set up, and each elite unit could be sent to participate in the battle and launch an all-out attack on the enemy in Rehe and eastern Hebei. The 40th Group Army could provide two divisions of weapons and equipment for the rebel troops in eastern Hebei, but after the battle, no matter how many troops were pulled out from eastern Hebei, both sides must be half a family, and whoever captured it was whoever captured it.

The 40th Group Army and the 18th Group Army soon instructed the troops on the front line to set up a joint command center, and the 40th Group Army sent more than 60,000 troops to participate in the battle, including instructors, air defense brigades, the 1st Independent Brigade of Eastern Hebei (1st Independent Battalion of Eastern Hebei), the 2nd Independent Brigade of Eastern Hebei (2nd Independent Battalion of Eastern Hebei), and the 3rd Independent Brigade of Eastern Hebei (3rd Independent Battalion of Eastern Hebei). The 18th Group Army decided to send more than 20,000 men from each of the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Fourth Column, and the Eastern Hebei Guerrilla Force to participate in the battle, with a total strength of more than 28,600 troops.

Shi Jianfei is the commander-in-chief of the newly established joint command, and Nie Commander-in-chief of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is the deputy commander-in-chief, and the joint command is located in Chengde.

On 1 July, when the 101st and 222nd Divisions, the main forces of the 40th Group Army, as well as the Teaching Brigade and the Armored Brigade, were slaughtering in all directions in Suizhong, the joint command outside Chengde City also began to operate, and in order to ensure the smooth implementation of this operational plan, the 18th Group Army specially transferred Li Yunchang from Chahar to the Rehe front line as deputy commander-in-chief, because he himself was a native of eastern Hebei, and before he was transferred to the post of Minister of Agriculture of Chahar Province, Li Yunchang was the general person in charge of the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei. He was most familiar with the situation there.

In addition, under Chen Feng's orders, weapons and equipment on Daqing Mountain were continuously transported to the Rehe front line and to eastern Hebei. In just five days, nearly 50,000 rifles and 1,200 light and heavy machine guns were delivered to the front, in addition to 300 artillery pieces and a large amount of ammunition.

As the instructors and the air defense brigade escalated their attack on the ancient city of Chengde, the defenders of the Japanese army in the city continued to ask for help from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and at the same time from the North China Front Headquarters, which was close at hand. Immediately, a large number of Japanese puppet troops poured to Chengde from the eastern part of Rehe and eastern Hebei, and the atmosphere of the great war became stronger and stronger.

Although the Japanese army sent the Fourth Division, the 15th Brigade and a large number of puppet troops to rescue the encircled Mongolian army headquarters in Chasuqi, and formed a huge encirclement around Chasuqi, preparing to give Chen Feng's headquarters a center to blossom and encircle and annihilate part of the main force of the 40th Group Army in Chasuqi.

It is a pity that this encirclement has not yet been closed, and the 2nd Cavalry Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army, which the Japanese army has placed high hopes on, was annihilated by the Guard Brigade and the Armored Brigade.

On June 29, the main force of the 101st Division arrived in Guisui, and after clearing the remnants of the enemy in the city, it immediately sent elite troops to attack Wuchuan in the northwest of Guisui and fought against the remnants of the Japanese 26th Division. The 222nd Division did not even enter the city, and drove directly to Chasuqi to reinforce the headquarters of the group army.

To Chen Feng's delight, the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army stationed in the northwest of Shanxi Province actually did its best to immediately capture Qingshuihe County after learning that the Japanese army had independently mixed into the 15th Brigade and went north to reinforce Chasuqi.

With the containment of the 120th Division, the Japanese Seiichiro Yuhara became cautious, and even deliberately left a cavalry division of the puppet army to block the 120th Division.

On July 2, after a fierce attack for 4 days and 5 nights, the Japanese army in the city of Chasuqi suffered heavy losses, and the city wall of Chasuqi, which was not very strong, also collapsed in many places, and the headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia was in danger. Lieutenant General Gong Chun even sent a farewell message to the North China Front and the base camp at one point.

General Terauchi Shouichi knew the consequences of the annihilation of the headquarters of the Mongolian army, which was not just the death of a lieutenant general and a major general. After Terauchi Shouichi ordered on the side. Gong Jun continued to resist stubbornly, and even gave the order to engage in street fighting, and at the same time ordered Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's temporary air brigade to provide air support to the Japanese troops in the city of Chasuqi without interruption, and to carry out large-scale and uninterrupted bombardment of the Shina army outside the city.
