645 First Victory, the Detachment's Prestige Resounded in North China (II)
Night fell completely, and night replaced day.
The fighting around the base area of the Independent Regiment had long since ended, and it fell into a dead night, quiet, as if nothing had happened during the day.
The soldiers of the first detachment who had experienced the great war had a full dinner in the evening that Kong Jie specially explained.
Then he fell asleep soundly.
For the Japanese army, it was a sleepless night tonight.
The operation to prevent Kong Jie's first detachment from moving south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain had been a complete failure.
The Japanese army was defeated.
The Japanese puppet army advancing in the southwest only fled back to more than 1,000 elite Japanese troops.
Originally, with the troops of the 47th Division retreating from the south, the casualties were slightly more acceptable.
As a result, not so long ago, the Japanese command received another message.
The troops of the 47th Division, which had originally retreated southward, were raided by the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain in the middle of the way.
It was flanked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army moving south, and almost all the troops were annihilated.
"Bastard!"
The commander Yoshio Shinozuka, who was so angry that he couldn't sleep, scolded angrily at the headquarters.
The failure of the operation to prevent the first detachment from moving south completely broke the overall deployment of Yoshio Shinozuka.
Looking at the helpless night.
Yoshio Shinozuka knew very well that he had completely lost control of the first anti-Japanese detachment of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin.
How many troops Kong Jie would send to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese army could not be sure at all.
In addition, the three main combat regiments of the Eighth Route Army that had already appeared in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain.
This means that the 47th and 41st Divisions stationed in Yuncheng and Linfen in southern Jinxi will no longer have the opportunity to draw troops from the Zhongtiao Mountain area to reinforce the direction of Taiyuan City in order to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area.
Yoshio Shinozuka was even a little worried.
With only two divisions in Jinnan, can they maintain public order and stability and withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army.
However, the flying team brought back the only result.
According to the two squadron leaders who personally participated in the command of the flight squadron, the flight team successfully blew up the hidden artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army during the operation.
The devils of the flying team are convinced of this.
In the area south of Taihang, several flying teams also clashed with Wang Chengzhu's artillery units.
Both sides suffered casualties, and the flying team paid the price of three aircraft, while in the opinion of the flying team, the Eighth Route Army paid for the entire artillery position.
The artillery unit of the Independent Regiment was destroyed, which made Yoshio Shinozuka breathe a sigh of relief.
Due to the fiasco of this operation, Yoshio Shinozuka does not have the spare time to commend the flight team, but only said a few words of praise on the phone, and then let the flight team rest well at the airport.
Timely replenishment of aircraft with fuel and ammunition.
When the command looked at the combat sand table and fell into deep thought.
Yoshio Shinozuka's mind still haunts the figure of the artillery unit of the Independent Regiment.
This artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army, which suddenly appeared near the cliff south of Taihang, completely reversed the situation on the battlefield.
This is something Yoshio Shinozuka never thought of anyway.
More of a shock and surprise.
According to the news from the front, at that time, the sneak attack troops of the Eighth Route Army suddenly opened fire, and the direct fire covered the two-line positions where the puppet army was located for thousands of days.
In less than three minutes, almost two hundred shells were fired.
At such a rate, it is estimated that the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army had at least a dozen larger-caliber guns in their hands.
This analysis could have frightened a group of devil officers at that time.
Where is this still the Eighth Route Army with scarce ammunition and backward equipment in the impression of devil officers?
Such a powerful firepower can even crush the Central Army and the Imperial Army to a certain extent.
Look at the night between pitch black and bright as day.
Yoshio Shinozuka knows that tonight will be difficult, and tomorrow will be even more painful.
Once the empire was defeated this time, the Eighth Route Army's artillery battalion was in power, and the news spread that the troops had moved south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain.
I'm afraid it will cause a tsunami-like earthquake in the whole of North China!
At that time, the three armies of the Japanese army were in turmoil.
As the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka will be even more disgraced.
At the military meeting held overnight, Yoshio Shinozuka and a group of Japanese staff officers focused on analyzing how to deal with the first anti-Japanese detachment of the Eighth Route Army in the future.
As for the current problem of the first detachment continuing to reinforce Nakajo Mountain.
After discussion, the Japanese officers finally put their hopes on the flying team.
It is no longer realistic to block on the ground.
The current defeat has already left the Empire in a state of devastation, and it will not be able to launch a large-scale attack on the Independent Regiment in the short term.
The only thing Yoshio Shinozuka could do was to order the 47th and 41st Divisions to be under martial law, and to be on guard against the troops of the Eighth Route Army moving south to Nakajo Mountain at any time.
In addition, with the help of the flight team that was resting at the airport, after dawn, it continued to fight in the area around the base area of the independent regiment.
reconnaissance, and blocking the southward movement of the Eighth Route Army.
Yoshio Shinozuka must at least figure out how many teams Kong Jie sent south.
Sleepless nights.
It was close to about three o'clock in the evening.
Yoshio Shinozuka sat up from the bed, always feeling that the anxiety in his heart kept him awake.
He was secretly comforting himself that nothing worse would happen.
The phone at the headquarters rang abruptly.
Yoshio Shinozuka, who was bent on the battlefield, had a bedroom very close to the headquarters, and Yoshio Shinozuka, who heard the call, couldn't sit still anymore, and quickly got up from the side of the bed.
The telephone soldier then arrived and reported the situation:
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, there is news from the Tan County Command that Mingbao Airport was attacked by enemy troops, the airport was blown up, and the stored fuel and more than a dozen planes parked were all ......"
Before he finished speaking, the communications soldier had already seen the gloomy face of the commander Yoshio Shinozuka through the faint light.
The old devil staggered back a few steps, hit his calf on the edge of the bed, and sat on the bed with his butt, dizzy for a long time, unable to return to his senses.
How ironic and powerless!
I was thinking of bullying the independent regiment with airplanes!
As a result, this damn Kong Jie made the first move, and actually blew up the airport one step ahead.
Next.
Before dawn, the exciting news spread out in all directions like a tide:
The devil Mingbao airport was blown up!
The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army dispatched artillery units and defeated more than 5,000 Japanese puppet troops in one fell swoop!
The Eighth Route Army went south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain, and the puppet army of more than 8,000 days ended in a crushing defeat in the blocking battle, and almost all the troops were wiped out!
…… So many results add up.
Or even a resounding victory no less than a frontal battle.
Like a storm, it quickly swept in all directions.
It was only then expanded and formed by the original independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the first independent detachment of the anti-Japanese resistance in the northwest of Shanxi Province was in this way in a shocking, admirable, admirable, and invincible attitude.
Get in the spotlight.
The Japanese soldiers couldn't sleep all night.
The puppet armies on all sides were frightened, and immediately included the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, or the first detachment of the anti-Japanese resistance in the northwest of Shanxi, into the list that must not be provoked.
The Japanese puppet army such as Miki Ichiro and Qian Dekai, who had private contacts and cooperation with the independent regiment, secretly rejoiced that they had foresight.
The various departments of the Jin Sui Army digested this shocking and inexplicable news in silence.
Among them, Yang Chongshan, the head of the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and exclaimed after learning the news:
"Be obedient, keep money, this head Kong is getting more and more fierce, this is beating the little devil as a grandson!"
Qian Shoucai's eyes rolled and he suggested: "Tuanzao, in the Jin Sui Army, our 57th Regiment is the closest to the Independent Regiment, and has the best relationship with Commander Kong." ”
"Yes, that's the case, when the devils cleaned up before, we also sent charcoal in the snow and sent equipment to the independent regiment! The last time I went to the base area of the Eighth Route Army for exchange and study, Commander Kong's attitude towards me was different from others. ”
When he said these words, Yang Chongshan even had a look of pride on his face.
That was the commander of the first anti-Japanese detachment of the Eighth Route Army, a fierce man who made the little devil cry and cry his mother!
Qian Shoucai said: "Tuanzuo, the humble position means that now the first team of Commander Kong is prestigious, do you think we should follow and rub some fame?" ”
Yang Chongshan's eyes lit up when he heard it, "What do you mean?" ”
Qian Shoucai said: "Tuanza, you want to! Since the Battle of the Hundred Regiments of the Eighth Route Army, the devils have gradually focused on encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army. ”
"After the loss of the Zhongtiao Mountain position, what the little devil is most afraid of is that our Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army will fight together."
"Therefore, the devil has always turned a blind eye to our Jin Suijun, not long ago, Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment took the opportunity to take down two important towns, didn't the little devil even dare to fart?"
"He Chu Yunfei also won a commendation for this, what a big reputation!"
"But our 57th Regiment is not bad now, the scale of the regiment is not much smaller than his Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, and the level of equipment has also kept up, not to mention economic development."
"It's almost the anti-Japanese feats, you said that if we follow Commander Kong to drink some soup, fight some little devils, and recover some lost territory, the devils will have to turn a blind eye to us, we took the opportunity to gain fame, and we have a friendship with Commander Kong for joint operations."
"Tuanza, isn't this a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone?"
"Maybe you'll be promoted soon."
Yang Chongshan was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "Grandma's, keep money, you kid deserves to be my military advisor, I think this idea is good!" ”
Just when Yang Chongshan and Qian Shoucai were planning how to fight with the independent regiment.
Some of the central armies south of the Yellow River learned the news that the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army had defeated the Japanese puppet army, and while admiring it, they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Sure enough, there is no gap without comparison.
The national army originally wanted to minimize the spread of this exciting news.
Who would have thought that as soon as this news reached the Kuomintang region, it immediately caused the people to boil.
The news spreads ten, a hundred times faster than the plague.
Within half a day's effort, the people of the entire Kuomintang region learned that the Eighth Route Army had won a great victory behind enemy lines.
A big win no less than a head-to-head battle.
At least the number of Japanese puppet troops wiped out by the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army has far exceeded the battle losses of the Japanese army in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.
Then compare the forces invested by both sides.
The Central Army, who was already ashamed and embarrassed, was in a more and more mixed mood.
At this point, the eyes of the masses just don't want to be bright and can't do anything.
Isn't it self-inflicted humiliation to ridicule the Eighth Route Army for swimming but not attacking, avoiding war and cowardice, and pouring dirty water on the heads of other people's Eighth Route Army?
The national army was cheeky and helped publicize the victory of the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army this time.
And repeatedly said in reports that the Eighth Route Army was subordinate to the National Revolutionary Army.
This is a great victory for our Chinese army that is worth celebrating!
Headquarters.
Since the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the situation facing the Taihang and Taiyue base areas has become more and more severe.
The conductor, who hadn't smiled in days, slapped the table and applauded loudly.
"What a Kong Jie!"
"The first team was handed over to him, and I really didn't see the wrong person."
"Yesterday's independent regiment made the little devils tremble, but today's first detachment is three points better than the previous independent regiment, and this battle, I think it can at least lay the foundation for half a year's stability."
"Comrade Kong Jie is indispensable!"
Brigade headquarters.
The brigade commander is different from others, Kong Jie is his old subordinate, and he just applauds Kong Jie and takes it to heart.
When the words came to my lips...... "How much?" In less than three minutes, nearly two hundred shells were fired? ”
"Good boy, this is rich flowing oil!"
"The artillery of our brigade headquarters would not dare to fight like this."
"When I go back, I have to ask our Comrade Kong Jie for advice."
Commissar: "......"
Chief of Staff: "......"
