Around ten o'clock in the morning.

Around the base area of the 385th Brigade, the confrontation between the forward combat units of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army took the lead in kicking off.

According to the strategic intent of the Japanese command, the purpose of this battle was to completely trap the main combat units of the 385 Brigade in the base area.

As a result, the Japanese army believed that when they continued to launch a surprise attack on the Huangyadong Arsenal, the troops of the 385th Brigade, which was closest to the Huangyadong area, would not have time to reinforce it.

At the same time, it attracted the attention of the entire Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Base Area.

And so it turned out.

Of course, while the confrontation between the two sides in the base area of the 385th Brigade attracted the attention of the Eighth Route Army, it also attracted a large part of the attention of the Japanese army.

At this time, the two eyeballs of the Japanese army were basically staring at the area of Huangya Cave.

According to the Japanese army's plan, the surprise attack and sweep launched this time was suddenly launched under the condition that preparations had been made for a long time.

In addition, Chen Yongchun's defection, and the acquisition of information did not take more than two days.

No matter how vigilant the Eighth Route Army was, it should not have completed the transfer of the Huangyadong Arsenal in advance.

At this time, taking the opportunity to launch an offensive will definitely destroy the Huangyadong Arsenal, the largest of the Eighth Route Army, in one fell swoop and cut off the military industrial foundation of the Eighth Route Army.

With the confrontation in the past few years, I have become more and more aware of the well-equipped little devils of the Eighth Route Army, and they no longer dare to sit back and watch the further growth of the Eighth Route Arsenal.

Li Cheng.

After the 3rd, 9th, and 16th mixed brigades, a surprise attack on the 385th brigade was launched.

Originally, the Spring Festival was not swept away, and the devils and puppet soldiers of the gendarmerie were all on annual vacation, and the illusion of peace in the whole city was immediately revealed.

The entire county was under a strict military blockade, the gates of entry and exit were completely sealed, and people coming and going were subjected to quite strict interrogation.

The entire city is put on a state of first level alert.

As the logistics base camp of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi under the jurisdiction of the First Army stationed in Changzhi, the transportation hub - Licheng.

The little devil knows very well that if the Eighth Route Army wants to break the cauldron and draw salaries from the bottom of the cauldron, the Licheng logistics base camp will definitely be the target of the Eighth Route Army's key attack.

Not to mention that the airport built by the devils temporarily is in the territory of Licheng.

Sudden shifts.

The original peace turned into a military solemnity and solemnity in an instant.

The people of Licheng were also stunned.

Only then did everyone react, the little devil deliberately publicized it during this time, did not sweep during the Spring Festival, and even relaxed the search for entering and exiting the city gate, and even lifted the curfew.

All this is just an illusion that the devils are preparing to sneak attack the base of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition to being stunned, although the people were in the Japanese-occupied area, they couldn't help but worry about the fate of the Eighth Route Army in the base area.

……

North of Taihang.

This was the first batch of mechanized combat units transferred to the North-Western Military District, where the 120 Division was located.

A total of 40 or 50 combat vehicles, including military automobiles, military motorcycles, and some armored vehicles, marched in the direction of the Northwest Military Region under the personal command of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.

As the first batch of troops to arrive, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, the two commanders, naturally had to go to the Northwest Military Region to show their faces.

In addition, according to the plan discussed by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, in the process of transferring to the Northwest Military Region, in addition to these mechanized combat vehicles and all kinds of equipment and ammunition for combat, there are also some military supplies and munitions carried in large quantities in various combat vehicles.

….

These are welcome gifts to the fraternal units of the 120th Division, since there are not too many combat vehicles, so the number is not very large, but it is not a small amount.

In Li Yunlong's emotional words: "If someone was willing to give us Lao Li such a big gift a few years ago, don't say anything, our Lao Li just kowtows to recognize him as a father, we are all willing!"

Such a batch of munitions, as well as military supplies as a meeting gift, is quite handy

。

The transfer along the way, according to the plan, in order to avoid the blockade of the devils along the way, before the entire mechanized combat unit, a light cavalry was sent in advance as a vanguard force to clear the obstacles.

In this way, the speed can be guaranteed, the soldiers who get on the horse to ride and dismount to fight, and they can also open up the checkpoints of the devils along the way in advance to cover the covert transfer of mechanized combat troops.

The raging north wind continues to blow, and the bitter cold of winter seems to be approaching the peak.

Thanks to the abundant material conditions of the soldiers over the years, coupled with the elite soldiers of mechanized operations who have been transferred to the base area of the 120th Division, it can basically be said that the resources of the three regiments of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province have been gathered.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong naturally wouldn't let the soldiers freeze and starve.

Wearing cotton clothes and a cotton hat along the way, he basically didn't feel a little cold even if he was raging in the cold wind.

Eat canned beef seized from the little devil, of course, the devil has been short of logistics supply over the years, and the original canned beef has become canned mixed meat.

But after all, it is also canned meat, and the warriors are not picky, which is better than eating leaves and digging roots in previous years, I don't know how many times.

When you take a break along the way, dig some smokeless stoves and put on the iron pots pulled by vehicles, and you can still have a hot meal at any time.

The whole team stops and goes all the way.

When necessary, even day and night.

Try to avoid the blockades of the devils along the way.

to ensure the concealment of the transfer of mechanized combat units.

Make sure that you can hit him with an earth-shattering attack when he attacks Datong.

When it was really impossible to escape, it was the vanguard cavalry soldiers who fought with infantry to lay down the devil's sentry and uproot the blockade strongholds and turrets.

Then cover the rapid passage of mechanized combat troops, and then the cavalry behind the palace, even quite cautiously remove the traces of ruts all the way.

To ensure that the little devil sent troops to investigate, he would never have thought that there would be a mechanized combat unit of the Eighth Route Army and transferred to the northwest base area.

……

North-Western Military District.

The command of the 120th Division had already received a message from the former enemy's general headquarters two days ago, and the boss personally issued a battle order for all the combat units of the 120th Division to cooperate with the mobile combat regiment of the 129th Division to carry out the secret battle plan for the surprise attack on Datong.

I learned about the change in the direction of the Taihang base area.

The devils secretly prepared a shocking conspiracy on the Li Cheng side, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Huangyadong Arsenal.

even united with the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army originally stationed in Datong and went south to the Taihang base area to encircle and sweep.

The commanders of the 120th Division were also taken aback.

Everyone never imagined that the little devil would make an exception and prepare for such a large-scale and large-scale operation, and even use the forces of two large occupied areas to conduct a joint operation.

….

This is a rare occurrence even on the battlefield behind enemy lines.

It seems that the devil was indeed forced by the troops of the 129th Division in the Taihang base area.

I also learned that it was Li Yunlong and Kong Jie who led the team this time, and they are no strangers to these two brothers, even if they are from the 120th Division.

One regiment commander even laughed on the spot:

"This Li head is moved over, and our entire Northwest Military Region is probably going to have to be lively!"

Then the head of the regiment sighed:

"Although it is a brother army, we shouldn't say such sour words, but I still can't help but want to say a few words, the development of the 129th Division in the past few years has been quite rapid, and the name has long spread throughout North China.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved in the ability to change the source, here download huann.change the source, and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time. 】

Especially Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei The Iron Triangle in the Northwest of Shanxi Province is also completely famous.

Right now, the battle around the Taihang base area,

The 120th Division can even extend its hand directly in the direction of Datong, and even a mechanized combat regiment has been created.

In such a comparison, the development of our 120th division over the years is a bit insufficient!"

"I know the big head of Li too well, you see, if that kid comes, he will definitely show us off, maybe that big tail can reach the sky!"

Then we talked about Kong Jie.

"This is what we really didn't expect, at the beginning, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei were the most honest and kind-hearted among the rabbit cubs.

But no one thought that in the past three or two years, hehe, Kong Jie stood up, and he was stunned to make a name for himself in the entire northwest of Shanxi, and directly expanded the independent regiment into the first detachment of independent resistance against Japan in the northwest of Shanxi.

What's the old saying?

After three days, it should be impressive!

Kong Jie's progress over the years, that's a lot bigger!"

Brigade Commander Zhang of the 358 Brigade scolded with a dark face: "Look at you all who are not promising, the commanders of the 386 Brigade are all capable, why did you admit it when you arrived?"

As the saying goes, we are not exhausted, and this time Li Yunlong and Kong Jie brought mechanized combat troops over, and eighty percent of them brought their 129th Division's family background.

Although we don't compare, we can't look too shabby, and when we go to answer, we must remember that we must show the ambition and confidence of our 358 Brigade."

"Brigadier Commander, do you mean to prepare a special troop?"

Brigade Commander Zhang nodded: "This is necessary, take out a company from our main regiment, and strengthen the equipment of this company.

Don't take out the old sleeve or something made in Hanyang and be embarrassed, just match all our formal and 38-style rifles.

In addition, didn't a lot of steel helmets be captured last time, don't leave them at the bottom of the box in the warehouse, bring them all, especially build a well-equipped combat unit, let's take them out in a majestic manner, and welcome Li Yunlong and Kong Jie by the way.

You can't let people look down on us, right?

If you don't look back, Lao Chen will laugh at me!"

At this time, the regiment commander reminded: "Brigade commander, the comrades of the 129th Division are here, do you have to make special preparations for this food and accommodation?"

….

I heard that the comrades of the 129th Division, especially the troops led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, have a good meal!

I heard that everyone can eat meat every once in a while, and it is said that there are coal stoves in all the houses where they sleep, so everyone sleeps and sweats!

When the brothers' troops are coming, we can't let the family sleep in those bunks that leak from all sides, in case our brother's troops are frozen again, isn't this a delay?"

Brigade Commander Zhang also suddenly realized: "It makes sense, I think so, vacate the best dozens of rooms in the hinterland of our base area for the comrades of the 129th Division to settle down, and take out some potatoes and elm noodles specially stored in our cellar to prepare for entertaining the brother troops."

"Huh!"

……

The comrades of the 120th Division of the Northwest Military Region are enthusiastically preparing.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong continued to move forward with the first batch of mechanized combat troops.

The distance from the Taihang base area to the Northwest Military Region is not very close, hundreds of kilometers, and if you rely on two legs, you don't know what year or month you will go.

Not to mention the cold wind raging in this cold winter.

Even at the speed of a mechanized combat vehicle, it is estimated that it will take three to five days to reach the destination.

On the one hand, it was necessary to take care of the speed of the cavalry who rode first, and on the other hand, the same consideration was given to the concealment along the way.

As early as before the departure, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong specially ordered the team to prepare a large amount of fuel in advance to supply the use of the vehicle.

The horses used by the cavalry warriors also prepared a lot of forage.

In addition, some cotton coats were also wrapped in the war horses to keep out the cold, otherwise so

The car can stand the cold weather, and the horse can't stand it.

Cavalry is more agile and stealthy than vehicles, and is more suitable for reconnaissance.

Otherwise, Kong Jie could have prepared a motorized reconnaissance unit to be responsible for reconnaissance along the way and open up the passage.

The cold snap was raging along the way, and the whole unit chose some interspersed routes that were more remote and far from the core control areas of the Japanese army.

In this winter, even the little devils along the way can't scout around against the cold wind.

For the covert transfer of mechanized combat units, it is undoubtedly the best cover.

At the same time, when the first batch of mechanized combat units was transferred to the Northwest Military Region, where the 120th Division was located, the battle between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army around the base area of the 385th Brigade gradually became white-hot and became the focus of the entire Sanjin in this winter.

Even the Jin Suijun, who was far away in the west and south of Jin, in a corner of peace, probably shrunk in the bed, waiting to see this good show!

Twenty days.

After the fifth day of the Spring Festival, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

The fighting between China and Japan around the base area of the 385th Brigade has continued until the third day.

The area of engagement between the two sides gradually shifted to the hinterland of the 385 Brigade base area.

The Japanese army set off a large-scale sweeping force to advance in the direction of the 385th Brigade in three directions, and these troops set off from Changzhi, where a large number of Japanese troops were stationed, and it seemed that little devils poured out of their nests.

In the face of the heavy pressure of the Japanese army, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the 385th Brigade could not stop the Japanese army although they launched layers of blockades, so they could only retreat step by step, relying on the terrain along the way to guerrilla.

In the space of three days, the battle lines between the two sides had penetrated more than 10 kilometers.

In the area of the edge line between Jinzhong and Taihang.

After a three-day stop-and-go trek, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong finally led the first batch of mechanized combat units to the outer line area of the northwest base area opened up by the 120th Division.

There were no dangers along the way, and there were several battles one after another.

In the end, it was in the form of infantry to solve the blockade of the checkpoints of the devils along the way, and then cover the smooth transfer of mechanized combat units.

Because these checkpoints were also often attacked by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese did not pay special attention to this.

After the stronghold and artillery tower were pulled out, in consideration of the severe cold of winter, the Japanese army temporarily contracted its strength, but did not pay much attention to it.

Of course, at some special passes, the Japanese army was still very cautious in carrying out vigilance to ensure a military blockade between the northwest base area of the Eighth Route and the Taihang base area.

Around ten o'clock in the morning of the 20th.

Brigade Commander Zhang personally led a detachment of troops to the outer line of the base area and smoothly rendezvoused with Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and his party......
