In addition, XZ and Shuozhou, including some large and small towns around these two important cities, and villages were attacked by the Eighth Route Army troops to varying degrees.

According to the report of the puppet army defending the city, the battle situation was very fierce, the attack was all the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the opponent's artillery fire was extremely fierce, and the city could be lost at any time.

The battles that bloomed everywhere seemed to have no rules, which made the Japanese army confused for a while, and they didn't know what these Eighth Route Army were going to do, and could it be that they would take the opportunity to launch the final decisive battle?

All night, the phones of the headquarters of the First Army were almost bursting.

Everywhere is asking for help, everywhere is being attacked by the main combat forces of the Eighth Route Army, and 100,000 are in a hurry.

What is the Yan'an Garrison Brigade of the Eighth Route Army launching a fierce attack on the stronghold of Huanggou Township in the northwest of Baode County, and the Eighth Route has artillery and is ready to fight to the death.

The 358th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is attacking the Dabeizhuang stronghold.

The 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, which had been silent for a long time, attacked the Dadonggou stronghold.

The armored teaching team of Yan'an Motorized School also appeared at the scene.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army, which launched an attack on the Japanese army after appearing everywhere, were even more numerous.

From the Eighth Road in the north of Jin, to the Eighth Road in Yan'an, and the Eighth Road in the Taihang Base Area.

True and false, false and true, it made the Japanese army dizzy for a while.

Until Fu Yisheng's 35th Route Army also suddenly moved, began to advance towards the Japanese blockade line, and launched a certain degree of attack.

The Japanese army was completely panicked at this moment.

Of course, Fu Yisheng's own personality is in the words of the commander of the 120th Division, "Old Fu, this guy is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, and he won't sell his teammates to stand by and watch this kind of thing."

But before our side completely messes up the battle situation, this kid will definitely not take a shot casually if he can't seize the opportunity. ”

And that's exactly what happened.

At this time, Fu Yisheng was pondering the Eighth Route Army's attempt to cover up the evolution of the current battle situation.

"Yigong, does the Eighth Route Army want to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to capture the Japanese army's county towns and towns in order to further expand the area of the base area?"

When the chief of staff asked like this, Fu Yisheng shook his head and denied: "This is unlikely, as far as we know about the troops of the Eighth Route Army led by Lao He, their equipment level is very poor, ammunition is scarce, and the artillery is even less pitiful, what do they use to fight a tough battle?" ”

"Then the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese-occupied area from all sides, and even deliberately pulled the battle line everywhere, what did it want?"

"Who knows? Wait, anyway, it's the little devil who has a headache, and the eight roads are another map, and it's impossible to figure us right now! ”

Fu Yisheng is still very sure of this.

……

Seven days.

The command of the Northwest Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, that is, the organ of the former 120th Division Command Headquarters, was directly issued by the command:

"The surprise attack on Datong has officially begun!"

After the order was issued, the main forces of the 120th Division, including the local army units, were mainly engaged in battles with the Japanese puppet army in various places with tactics that almost blossomed from all sides.

The sound of gunfire filled almost the entire sky over northern Jin.

Completely beaten into a pot of porridge situation.

The Japanese army became more and more unclear about the intentions of the Eighth Route Army.

Around 3 p.m. that day.

After trekking for hundreds of miles, they secretly divided into three groups from the Taihang base area and were transferred to the mechanized combat units of the 120th Division of the Northwest Military Region.

Under the leadership of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, they were divided into two batches, and under the cover of the troops of the Eighth Route Army along the way, they followed the pre-planned almost straight route to Datong, where the base camp of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army was located.

The entire rapid reaction force cooperated with nearly 300 combat vehicles of various types, and walked in the shortest straight line with lightning speed.

Go straight to Datong.

This intention was suddenly revealed, and it was truly earth-shattering!

The sudden appearance of the rapid reaction force was the first to break through with the most elite armored units that combined armor protection, firepower offensive and mechanized superiority.

The entire rapid reaction force can transport and transfer more than 2,000 elite people at one time, which is still the first batch, and at the same time carries a considerable amount of equipment and ammunition.

If it is the second batch to be transferred, it is not a problem to squeeze it and pack nearly 3,000 people.

All types of combat vehicles are equipped with a large number of self-propelled guns, carrying a considerable number of anti-aircraft guns, vehicle-mounted mortars, anti-aircraft guns, flying thunder guns and other heavy weapons.

Each vanguard advance team also specially prepared a firepower assault team after the start of the battle, and these team members were equipped with body armor composed of new ceramics, bulletproof steel plates, and high-strength nylon.

A large number of submachine guns with revolver shotguns, a large number of new explosive devices made of black sorkin, and blasting barrel barrier-breaking launchers to deal with minefields, as well as combat sappers accompanying barbed wire barricades.

Once the battle began, the armored troops took the lead in breaking through the defense line of the Japanese puppet army and opening a breakthrough with armored vehicles and tanks as the tip of the knife.

With the main offensive force as the main force, the attack was launched.

Each firepower assault group secretly cooperated with the main force to take the lead in infiltrating forward, breaking through to solve the important firepower points of the Japanese puppet army.

Or directly use walkie-talkies as observers for infiltration and reconnaissance, and provide specific coordinates of relevant military strike targets for Japanese puppet soldiers for the rear artillery at any time.

In fact, until this time, although the Japanese army was aware of the madness of the Eighth Route Army, they were also aware that this sudden rapid reaction force was by no means the foundation of the Eighth Route Army in northern Jinbei, which they knew.

But the Japanese army did not expect that the Eighth Route Army's move, the goal of this rapid reaction force would be directly aimed at their base camp Datong.

Even Fu Yisheng, who was a bystander, could not judge the intentions of the Eighth Route Army at the first time.

The reason is very real.

Datong is still far from the troops of the Eighth Route Army of the Northwest Military Region.

Even if the rapid reaction force of the Eighth Route Army wants to quickly break through, I am afraid it will take a lot of time.

In addition, from the Northwest Military Region of the Eighth Route Army to the Japanese fortress Datong, there are hundreds of large and small defense areas in between, and there are countless military defense lines set up by devils along the way.

The entire periphery of Datong is like being wrapped in layers of onions.

The location of Datong is in the heart of the whole onion.

So the little devil didn't panic at first.

At least I didn't panic because the base camp nest was about to be ended.

Until......

The armored and tank units of the Eighth Route Army attacked all the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo, which was simply devastating, and there was no Japanese puppet army defense line that could stop it for a moment.

First, the Japanese army never thought that the troops of the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi would be able to form such a rapid reaction force with a considerable number of armored troops and tanks.

I didn't expect that the offensive power of the armored vehicles and tanks of the Eighth Route Army would be so strong, and it was even equipped with a large number of follow-up artillery.

In this respect, the combat effectiveness and firepower of the armored troops of the Iron Triangle are far superior to those of the devil's regular light and medium-sized armored troops.

Second, at present, the entire northern Jin Dynasty, including the Taihang base area, the battles of all parties have long been completely chaotic.

Especially around the Taihang base area, the confrontation between the First Army and the troops dominated by the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army has been carried out to a critical point.

It's about to be decided by the winner.

In addition, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, mainly the 120th Division in northern Jin, also blossomed in battles on all sides, which made the entire Japanese puppet army in northern Jin fall into a scorched defense.

Even the 35th Route Army was ready to move, and the troops stationed in Mongolia from northern Jin to Inner Mongolia had to constantly draw troops to strengthen the defense of the military blockade line and guard against the attack of the 35th Route Army.

In other words, at this time, although there were quite a lot of Japanese military blockade lines along the route from the Northwest Military Region of the Eighth Route Army to Datong, the blockade lines everywhere were basically in a state of insufficient troops, and there were not many elites.

And this battle between Li Yunlong and Kong Jie is an earth-shattering shock!

The rapid reaction force, which was secretly waiting and waiting, suddenly broke out, and with a fairly clear direction of attack, it rushed straight towards Datong.

Armored vehicles and tank units, as invincible sharp knives, easily cut the Japanese defense line along the way like slicing tofu, directly splitting it.

Once the breakthrough was opened, the main combat forces scattered all over the route quickly cooperated with reinforcements to consolidate and further expand the breakthrough and completely occupy the Japanese blockade line.

Then use the fortifications of the Japanese blockade line that have been completely taken as a position to block the Japanese puppet army reinforced by other sides.

Very simple mode, but just as useful as that.

Forced breakthrough with armored troops, then quickly occupied, consolidated and expanded the breakthrough after opening the breakthrough, and then continued to attack the next Japanese blockade line.

Just a few hours later, in the evening.

The Japanese army originally guarded the layers of blockade lines on the outer line of Datong, but it was broken through more than 30 in a row.

In the evening, when it was already a little dark.

The rapid reaction force led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie had already arrived at the outer line of Datong in various tanks and launched an attack on the Japanese puppet defenders stationed in Datong.

It was only at this time that the forces of all parties realized that the sky seemed to be about to be poked into a hole by the Eighth Route Army.

The entire northern Jin Dynasty and even the Taihang base area, and even the battlefields in the Inner Mongolia region are mixed together.

Only then did the Eighth Route Army emerge at the end of the road, revealing its ultimate intentions.

——Pointing to Datong!

In the Taihang area, just two days ago, the Japanese army also made a judgment that the Eighth Route Army was going to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and was secretly mobilizing troops in an attempt to attack the 36th Division's Laochao Licheng.

】

The Japanese army was also anxious, and mobilized troops from all sides to gather in Licheng.

Under the unified command of Ding Wei, the soldiers of the Iron Triangle are trying to find a way to eat the 26th Wing of the 11th Division in the encirclement, as well as the two cavalry units.

The rest of the main combat units of the 386th Brigade also took the opportunity to launch a major counteroffensive against the Japanese side and completed the military linkage with the Jizhong troops.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei also took the opportunity to attack the Japanese army and pinned down a considerable number of Japanese troops.

Then not only the Eighth Route Army, but also some Jin Sui Army and Jiang Army troops that were closely related to the Iron Triangle Army also jumped out and took the opportunity to fall into the well and beat the Japanese army, a water dog.

It was in such an unprecedented chaotic situation.

The Eighth Route Army, which was poor and poor, pointed the real killing move directly at Datong.

The Japanese army, which finally realized the true intentions of the Eighth Route Army, fell into great horror.

They thought that the Eighth Route Army was crazy, and this kind of stubborn style of play was like desperate.

This was a radical departure from the guerrilla tactics practiced by the Eighth Route Army in previous years, which avoided a head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese army.

Headquarters of the Mongolian Army.

The commander of the devil learned the news that the Eighth Route Army, which had launched an attack outside Datong City, was called the Yanbei Detachment.

This news made the old devil stunned, and then he was a little happy in his heart.

The Yanbei detachment is an old opponent of the Mongolian army, and it can be regarded as a difficult one.

But to say that a small Yanbei detachment wants to capture Datong, it is also wishful thinking.

Do you really think that with a few more broken cars and a rapid reaction force, we will be able to lay down the base camp of our army in Mongolia?

Thinking of this, the old devil commander was not in a hurry, on the one hand, he ordered the Datong defenders to defend to the death, and on the other hand, he drew reinforcements from all sides, and advanced in the direction of Datong unhurriedly.

This old devil even had a wishful thinking, thinking that it was impossible for this small Yanbei detachment to shake the defense of Datong Fortress.

Perhaps he could also take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the main force of the Eighth Route Army and take the opportunity to annihilate it in one fell swoop.

In this way......

"Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army lost the battle in Shanxi, but our army in Mongolia inflicted heavy losses on the main force of the Eighth Route near Datong.

In such a comparison, if the combat effectiveness of our army stationed in Mongolia is far above that of his first army, I think no one will object! ”

The devil commander had a sweet dream, and he even thought that after the complete defeat of Yoshio Shinozuka, maybe he could concurrently serve as the commander of the First Army, and even directly merge his First Army under his command of the Mongolian army!

However, the old devil's dream was soon shattered.

After the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack on Datong began, the attacking troops were more fierce and fiercer each time.

Just after less than six hours of defending.

The devil officers stationed in Datong hurriedly sent a message for help to the headquarters.

He also claimed that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was extremely strong in combat, with fierce artillery and well-equipped, and that if reinforcements did not arrive, Datong might even be completely lost and fallen.

When this news came, the devil commander was completely stunned.

"Yaga, how is this possible? It's just a small Yanbei detachment, how many troops are attacking the city on the Eighth Road? ”

In this regard, the reply given by the defenders stationed in Datong was: "Your Excellency, at first the siege of the city seems to have a regiment of eight roads, and they are very well equipped and the artillery fire is fierce.

After the two waves of attacks were repelled by us, the Eighth Route Army troops that were supplemented later seemed to have another regiment of troops.

In this way, the opponent's attacks became more and more fierce, and after seven or eight consecutive attacks, the troops on the opposite side were like a bottomless pit, constantly pouring out.

First the south gate, and then the east, west, and north gates were all attacked.

According to our preliminary speculation, the Eighth Route Army, which is currently besieging the city, must have at least one division of troops!

！ ”
