It is worthy of Shimada Shozo, regardless of sacrifice, the elite airborne troops of the empire honed by actual combat, even if they parachute in mountainous areas with complex terrain such as the Huangyadong mountains.

In the end, 108 of the 112-person team landed unharmed.

There were only four unlucky ghosts, and because of this secret airborne, in order to avoid being discovered by the scouts of the Eighth Route Army, the height of the parachute jump was not very high.

Two of the four unlucky people after opening the umbrella accidentally fell into the deep stream, and their bones were gone.

Two more crashed into the mountain and the fork of the tree, resulting in serious injuries.

After the leaders of each group successfully met in the agreed area, Shozo Shimada asked about the situation of each group after the skydive.

Knowing that two people had fallen into a deep stream and their bones were gone, Shimada's face became more and more pale.

However, the mountains inside the Yellow Cliff Cave are steep, and Shimada Shozo has long been mentally prepared for such a situation.

"Holy war, all for His Majesty the Emperor!"

Shozo Shimada spoke in a low voice, boosting morale.

The rest of the airborne soldiers all whispered in response to the holy war.

Then, in order to completely eliminate the traces of their team's parachute jump, Shimada Shozo ordered the two seriously injured team members to be temporarily bandaged and hidden under a secret mountain pass.

Then he led the team into the mountains according to the predetermined plan.

Do you think Shozo Shimada was so kind that he put these two wounded in the col to come to the rescue after completing the combat mission?

Definitely.

Before leaving, Shimada Shozo patted the two seriously injured people who were already having some difficulty opening their eyes, and said:

"Please rest assured that the military will take care of your family."

After leaving these words lightly, Shimada Shozo gave the order, and finally threw two sharp daggers to the two seriously wounded men.

As for the guns on the two seriously wounded, they were taken away.

"All for the Holy War!"

Shimada Shozo comforted himself, and at the same time comforted the soldiers who accompanied him, leaving only two daggers, not even guns, to prevent the two wounded from being shot and exposed.

As for the two daggers, they were really at the end of the mountain, and the two wounded men used them to finish themselves.

Everything seemed so cruel and cold, but at this moment, the faces of Shimada Shozo and the soldiers of the Devil Airborne Forces were numb and resolute.

These guys, cold like a bunch of dead soldiers.

……

……

The gateway of the Taihang base area, the joint defense area of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi.

Since Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were ordered to lead mechanized combat units to secretly transfer to the Northwest Military Region and prepare for an attack on Datong, the burden of defense and operations in the entire northwest of Shanxi fell on Ding Wei, who stayed behind.

Also as a member of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie attacked Datong this time, such a big movement, such an exaggerated battle, but they didn't take Ding Wei to play together.

Although Ding Wei didn't say anything, Sun Zhenguo, the commander of the first battalion, was unhappy for Ding Wei and said:

"Commander, this Captain Li and Commander Kong are too uninteresting.

If you want me to say that since this time you are going to surprise attack the base camp of the 26th Division of the Devils, both of them have gone, and they should also bring our new regiment with them. ”

Ding Wei said with a smile: "There are only a few combat vehicles in our entire Taihang base area, and Lao Kong and Lao Li only brought some mechanized combat troops.

If we go along, how will we get there?

Let's run away when people take a car? Don't you have to break these two legs? ”

"Can't they just make a fuss and leave us behind?"

"Silly boy!" Ding Wei's smile became brighter and brighter, "Look, once this battle starts, Lao Ding and Lao Kong's side will be lively, and our side will definitely not be idle." ”

"It's hard to surround our Iron Triangle Defense Zone, it will still be a vicious battle!"

Ding Wei didn't say much, this is almost a certain situation.

Regarding the conspiracy of the Japanese army this time, they even united with the Mongolian army stationed in the direction of Datong Baotou and cooperated with the plan of the First Army stationed in Shanxi to attack the Taihang base area on both sides.

Ding Wei naturally understands.

The location of the 386th Brigade base area is in the north of the Taihang base area, and the iron triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province is the absolute gateway for the Japanese army to attack the Taihang base area from the north, which is almost impossible to avoid.

What does this mean?

This means that once the troops stationed in Mongolia move quickly south, and the First Army moves north to converge, when the two armies attack from both sides, the focus of the attack will inevitably be on the base area of the 386th Brigade.

It is placed in the iron triangle defense area in the northwest of Shanxi.

It was really a black cloud that was crushing the city and wanted to destroy it.

For ordinary people, under such heavy pressure, they must be flustered and dignified.

Ding Wei is the opposite, he is so excited that he can't sleep in the past few days.

This Lao Kong and Lao Li ran to the Northwest Military Region and went to the devil's Datong to be in the limelight.

Even if he Ding Wei stays behind, he can't be left behind.

"If you want to say that you want to command a large-scale corps to fight, I am tied to Lao Li together, and I am not as good as you Lao Ding, you Lao Ding has handsome talent in this regard!"

"Lao Ding, the defense of our three regiments depends on you!"

Kong Jie's words when he left seemed to still be echoing in Ding Wei's ears.

If you want to say that the Iron Triangle is good at attacking, it is naturally Li Yunlong, who is like the tip of a knife.

But if you want to say that the Iron Triangle is good at defense, good at coordinating the overall situation, and commanding the three armies, it should be Ding Wei.

Therefore, although Kong Jie did not say it explicitly this time, Ding Wei was like a mirror in his heart.

Lao Kong deliberately left the three defense areas of the Iron Triangle and the gateway of the Taihang base to Ding Wei.

A few days ago, the first detachment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment had formed a temporary joint command center, and this command was placed in the regimental headquarters of the new first regiment.

Needless to say, the detachment was led by political commissar Li Wenjie, chief of staff Xu Guoan, and the commanders of various regiments to cooperate with Ding Wei's command.

The new second regiment was fully responsible for political commissar Zhao Gang.

At first glance, it may seem that there are only three regiments, but a little analysis shows that the overall command of these three regiments means what a large combat force will be commanded.

Today.

Let's talk about the new second regiment that was finally developed, the main combat force of the whole regiment, even after streamlining the administration and constantly compressing it, it still has nearly 3,000 troops.

In the words of Li Yunlong's braggadocio:

"Although the superiors asked us to streamline our administration, those who remained were well-equipped and had excellent military literacy.

There's no way, the 3,000 troops left by my new second regiment are all elites, and we Lao Li are reluctant to lose them! ”

And the strength of the new regiment led by Ding Wei was about the same.

As for Lao Kong's team, it is a bit exaggerated, even after many times of streamlining the army, the main combat elite of a team is at least 8,000.

In addition, the situation of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province is different from that of the other regiments, and the defense area is also very different from the defense area of other regiments.

In addition to the main force of the three regiments, a considerable number of local army units and militia units were also stationed around the base area to assist in the operation.

Because of the proximity to the water, the building gets the moon first.

In addition, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei took special care of the neighboring local army troops and militia units.

Therefore, the local armies and militia units around the Iron Triangle base area are not irregular troops that lack guns and ammunition in the conventional sense.

On the contrary, thanks to the repeated reinforcement of the local army and militia units.

In addition, under the theoretical guidance of the militia's military training manual, the local troops have never stopped training.

After streamlining the administration of the army, a considerable number of grassroots commanders with rich combat experience were transferred from top to bottom of the first detachment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment to participate in the training and operational command of the local army and militia units.

In other words, even the local army units around the Iron Triangle, or even the militia units, are quite exaggerated in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment level.

And even no less than the main forces of a few years ago.

And if the number of local armies and militia units is all added together, considering that the base area of the Iron Triangle has now expanded to a considerable area.

That's quite an exaggerated number.

There are all kinds of statistics.

Not counting the local army and militia forces, there are more than 10,000 troops.

In addition to the local army and militia units, the combat strength under the overall command of a regiment commander Ding Wei this time is ......

In the words of political commissar He Wenqing: "Good guy, Lao Ding, you drove the division commander back this time!" ”

Haha –

Ding Wei touched his big nose and said happily: "What is a teacher, where is this?"

This time, our three regiments set up a temporary joint command center, and I coordinated the defense of the entire base area.

In our Iron Triangle base area, there are people and soldiers, and all the people are soldiers, so that at least a few million people are under the command of my Ding Wei.

In ancient times, there was a famous general of the Warring States Period, Wang Qian, who commanded an army of 600,000 to destroy Chu.

Today, there is Ding Wei, commanding a million lions to annihilate the Japanese invaders.

In the future, you have to call me Ding million! ”

He Wenqing was stunned: "Ding million? Is there anything special about this name? ”

Ding Wei replied: "Lao Kong is very shrewd, doing business everywhere in the name of Kong 50,000, and even doing business to the headquarters of the devil."

Lao Li couldn't be idle later, he didn't want to be suppressed by Lao Kong's limelight, so he proclaimed himself Li 100,000, and also used this name to do business everywhere.

Thinking about it this way, among our old comrades-in-arms, only my old man has no name.

After the overall battle in our base area is over this time, I have to seal a Ding million, right?

Look at it, Ding million, this is much more angry than Li 100,000, Kong 50,000 and the like! ”

He Wenqing: ......

After the establishment of the Iron Triangle Joint Command, Ding Wei immediately made an analysis with Zhao Gang, Li Wenjie, and Xu Guoan.

Ding Wei, who has always seen people and has keen insight, directly proposed:

"This devil's first army, this time I want to unite with the Mongolian army to attack our Taihang base area, this devil army from Datong and Baotou to the south is stationed in Mongolia, and our defense area is where they must pass.

According to the conspiracy of the little devils, the winter offensive of our 386 Brigade has not yet ended, and quite a few troops are even in the quasi-security zone where the devils originally were.

Once the devil army stationed in Mongolia goes south.

We originally occupied the territory area of the little devils, and we must be the primary target of the little devils.

We don't have a solid defense system in that place, and it's a long way from the base area.

The little devil probably has the same little abacus, wanting to take the opportunity to eat the winter combat troops far away from our base area.

Hehe, then we can't wait stupidly, it's better to come to him and make a plan, just use the towns and villages that occupy the little devils, stronghold the turrets, and make a fuss, so that his devils can't steal chickens and rice. ”

Xu Guoan asked with a smile: "Lao Ding, don't sell Guanzi, Lao Kong and Lao Li are not here, and the burden of overall command will fall on you this time."

Tell me how we're going to prepare, shall we? Be prepared.

Wen Jie and I have discussed it, and our team will fully cooperate with this operation. ”

Li Wenjie and Zhao Gang immediately nodded in agreement.

Ding Wei no longer hid it, and he said with the map spread out on the square table:

"Lao Xu said well, be prepared, whether the little devil is really as we speculated, will focus the attack on the troops of our winter offensive, we have to prepare in advance.

Comrades, I think so.

When I talked to Lao Kong about this, Lao Kong was right, our Eighth Route Army troops should not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but should consider the long-term war of resistance and preserve the vitality.

In order to deal with the surprise attack that the devils may launch at any time against our winter combat troops, we must immediately start preparing to secretly retreat our main force in the direction of the base area.

Of course, even if we withdraw from the stronghold turret, we will definitely not make the little devil feel better.

Even if it's the empty stronghold turret that we withdrew, that's just as good as that, hum......

……

In addition, the Southern Hebei Military Region has established a close communication system with us, and the commander said that this time it will send mobile troops from southern Hebei to cooperate with our three regiments in combat.

This time the little devil is attacking, although we are mainly defensive, we can't just defend, we also have to attack.

With the support of the mobile troops in southern Hebei, pressure was put on the little devil in two directions, which was enough for his devil to drink a pot.

In addition, according to my judgment, if the little devil stationed in the Mongolian army wants to quickly go south for reinforcements, the cavalry group of the devil originally stationed in the Baotou area will definitely send corresponding cavalry troops.

We have to be on guard in advance, this devil's cavalry may not have a good combat effectiveness in frontal combat, but if we can't limit the mobility of the devil's cavalry, many devil cavalry scurrying around in our base area will still pose a considerable threat to us.

We have to find a way to limit the mobility of the devil's cavalry, and it is best to force the devil's cavalry to march in a group, and then we will kill it in one go. ”

As he spoke, Ding Wei, who had been prepared, spread out another map.

On the map, Ding Wei has carried out operations on the map in the past few days, marking the various routes of the Iron Triangle Defense Zone.

"These routes are all routes that the cavalry can run quickly in our base area, and it is unrealistic for us to want to fight the cavalry, relying on two legs to race against the four legs of the devil's war horse.

The best way is for us to cut off the beginning and end of these routes.

This is equivalent to directly cutting off the leg of the devil's war horse to see where it can run. ”

With the narration, Ding Wei's plan to fully defend the base area gradually appeared in front of everyone.

It's really quite detailed and well thought out.

Ding million, who commands the overall situation.

It's really not blowing!
