…… The Song detachment leader of the Yanbei detachment, who is also a general of the Anti-Japanese War with a lot of personality, has been tossing enough little devils in the area at the junction of Shanxi, Hebei and Mongolia provinces over the years.

This time, in accordance with the order of the division headquarters, after successfully taking Datong, the main force of the Yanbei detachment took the captured mechanical vehicles of the 26th Division and quickly advanced in the direction of Inner Mongolia, attracting the attention of the Japanese army, covering the rapid reaction force led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, and fighting in a roundabout way in the direction of Licheng.

But how could the mighty Captain Song be satisfied with this?

"We fought Datong too suddenly, and the devils stationed there have long been empty troops, and this battle is not happy at all.

Next, our troops gathered in Licheng, and the devils quickly sent additional defenders in the direction of Licheng, which was the first frontal battle in the real sense since the Eighth Route Army Anti-Japanese War.

This drama can't be missed by our Yanbei detachment! ”

The deputy detachment leader on the side was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Old Song, don't mess around, we have a mission, and we have to contain the Japanese army to the north." ”

"Of course, the task must be completed, but this time our troops from all walks of life are rushing to Licheng, this is a tough battle for a grand event, we can't miss it, even if we arrive later, we must catch up."

"...... like this"

Saying that, the leader of the Song detachment immediately took it into account, "Let's quickly advance in the direction of Zhangjiakou first, and take advantage of the situation to destroy some of the puppet army cavalry pastures stationed in Mongolia at the junction of Hebei and Mongolia."

After attracting all the attention of the devils, our troops divided into two routes, one continued to the north to contain the Japanese army, and the other route was led by me, and quickly detoured in the direction of Licheng. ”

"Old Xu, you have to help me fulfill this wish!"

In this regard, what else could Deputy Detachment Leader Xu say, he had to respond.

Soon after, with the help of the rapid mobility of mechanized combat vehicles, the Yanbei detachment, which was rapidly advancing northward, arrived near Zhangjiakou.

Immediately afterwards, he launched a surprise attack on some nearby cavalry pastures of the Japanese puppet army.

This is a contest between the mechanized combat unit and the devil cavalry, which is the opponent of the devil and the puppet army, which is directly and quickly defeated, and the ranch is destroyed immediately.

At this time, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led the rapid reaction force, along the border suburbs of Shanxi and Hebei, and quickly went south, and there was the cover of the Eighth Route Army base along the way, and they were not noticed by the little devils at the first time.

As a result, the mechanized combat unit of the Yanbei detachment, which took the lead in making a disturbance near Zhangjiakou, immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese puppet army.

Datong was quickly attacked by such a mechanized combat unit.

After the withdrawal of the Eighth Route Army, which had attacked Datong, there was a mechanized combat unit that quickly moved north, which made the Japanese army subconsciously think that the Eighth Route Army, which had attacked Datong's mechanical combat force, went north again.

The devil's attention was really drawn to the past.

The reconnaissance planes that flew out of the Wuchagou airfield also roared back and forth over the vicinity of Zhangjiakou to reconnoiter the situation, in an attempt to stop the mechanized combat units of the Eighth Route Army heading north.

……

On the other side, the cavalry units of the 35th Army included a special mechanized combat unit composed of some armored vehicles and automobiles made by Commander Fu in Jin, which together formed a mixed rapid transport unit.

The news that Datong was broken by the Eighth Route Army came, and the battle in the direction of Licheng intensified.

The cavalry group of the Mongolian army originally stationed in the base camp of Baotou first went south with two cavalry wings and was deeply encircled by the Eighth Route Army.

After the Eighth Route Army in northern Jin Dynasty was in turmoil, the cavalry group of the devils continued to draw troops outward to assist in the battle.

At this time, the Baotou garrison in Mongolia may have already been empty.

Realizing that the opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Commander Fu immediately issued an operational order to surprise Baotou with fast cavalry troops and mechanized combat units.

Commander Fu, who is good at stealing houses, is on the field again.

Ending the Baotou base camp of the Mongolian army has always been his obsession.

"Our 35th Route Army has also made a lot of fame a few years ago, especially the battle to recover the Five Plains, which made us famous in one battle.

But we can't just think about gnawing at the old book, right now the Eighth Route Army has even beaten down the devil's Datong Fortress.

If it goes on like this, in the area of Inner Mongolia in northern Shanxi, I am afraid that I only know the Eighth Route and do not know my 35th Route Army.

This is not like a thing, no matter how the battle of Baotou is won or lost, we must play the momentum of our 35th Route Army!

I have to let the little devil know that in this area of Inner Mongolia and Jinbei, the Eighth Route Army is not easy to mess with, and Fu is also not a vegetarian! ”

"Let's go—"

……

In the direction of Datong, the troops of the Eighth Route Army gradually emptied.

After the Yanbei detachment and the rapid reaction force led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie took the lead in withdrawing, the main force of the 120 th Division and the comrades of the local units also retreated in an orderly manner in the direction of the base area.

In the face of the reinforcements that the little devil was still advancing in the direction of Datong like crazy, the soldiers slowly let go of the block and let the little devil go.

It's a pity that when the devil reinforcements rushed back to Datong, all they were left with was the empty material depot, ammunition depot and granary.

Even if it was a brick and tile, if it was of some use, it was looted by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

The 26th Division was stationed in Datong, and its family base, which had been in business for many years, was completely declared bankrupt.

There are more than 200 military cars, motorcycles, search vehicles, bicycles, armored vehicles and tanks.

In addition, a large number of artillery pieces stored in the Datong arsenal were also looted.

It was some heavy howitzers, which were also towed away by the soldiers in towing vehicles.

There is also a large amount of mine equipment, including all kinds of rare minerals hoarded by devils, as well as factory equipment and massive piles of materials.

All this, if the Eighth Route Army used earth-shattering surprise attack tactics to break through Datong, the base camp of the 26th Division, in one fell swoop, it was a military miracle.

Then, after gathering all the forces of the Eighth Route Army, the rapid transfer of all kinds of materials of the captured Japanese army in a short period of time also created a miracle.

Before and after, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi invested troops, plus various local troops, militia units, and even ordinary people who took the initiative to help.

The number of people in the Communist Party, according to rough post-war estimates, even exceeded 100,000.

In the later report of the Eighth Route Army:

This is a great military miracle created by the unity of the army and the people of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.

This is a miracle pushed by all military and civilian trolleys, and it is a miracle of more than 100,000 people scattered and coordinated, highly coordinated, and closely divided labor.

It is like a large swarm of ants, seemingly chaotic, but tacitly coordinated, and under the efficient operation, the massive materials hoarded by the Japanese army in the entire Datong are transferred.

Of course.

There were too many supplies, and with Japanese reinforcements constantly chasing along the way, battles could happen at any time.

It is impossible for the soldiers and the people who are helping to transfer all the supplies to the base area.

This was also a situation that the cadres of the Eighth Route Army had anticipated long ago before the outbreak of the battle, when they were at the division headquarters.

Therefore, the final solution is still the most familiar idea of segmented transfer, nearby transfer, secret transportation, and finally gradually transferred to the base area.

Plainly.

It is to gather the strength of all the military and civilians to disperse a large number of seized materials in various villages and base areas on the spot, and temporarily hide them, so as to achieve the effect of quickly concealing the materials.

Then through a series of small-scale battles to delay time, until these secretly hidden materials were successfully transferred to the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

Even in some local battles, the soldiers were defeated by the Japanese puppet army, and the lost supplies were only a very small part.

In the face of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians united as one, the Japanese army could only sigh with admiration.

Lieutenant General Harem Jun, the division commander of the 26th Division, who learned the news at the headquarters, was almost about to cry when he learned that all the family funds he had accumulated for many years had been looted.

More often than not, it's despair.

After this battle is over, it can be expected that his 26th Division will lose face because of this fiasco.

In addition, the family foundation has been completely hollowed out, even if there are not many casualties in the army itself, and the huge army will even have the dilemma of not being able to support itself.

It's a shame to be thrown to grandma's house.

……

At this time, the fiasco of Datong has become a sure fact and cannot be changed.

The Japanese army also did not care about the distressed losses.

The attention of the Japanese troops throughout Inner Mongolia and Shanxi was soon drawn to the Licheng battlefield, which was becoming more and more noisy.

If it is said that the battle of Datong was not fully prepared by the Japanese army, it was not wonderful and fierce.

So at the moment, the battle around Li Cheng, both sides have made relatively full preparations, once it breaks out completely.

That is the battle in the real sense, which is enough to shake the entire North China and even the entire Sino-Japanese battlefield.

The Eighth Route Army is frantically deploying troops, changing its low-key and guerrilla warfare policy for so many years.

In the Taihang base area, the main combat units of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army almost poured out, and the 386th Brigade and 385th Brigade, including various newly formed combat brigades, a total of dozens of regiments were put into operation.

In the Taiyue Military Region, the guerrilla units of the Eighth Route Army also advanced in the direction of Licheng, constantly attacking the Japanese blockade line.

The combat units, including those in central and southern Hebei, also moved south toward Licheng and seized the opportunity to launch a local counteroffensive to further expand the area of the base area and impact the public order and stability of the Japanese army's security area.

The movement became bigger and bigger, and in the end, even some guerrilla units of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong became more active and radical than before, attacking the surrounding Japanese puppet army blockade strongholds.

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Looking at the huge battle map hanging on the wall in front of him, representing the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army, and even including the Jin Sui Army and the Jiang Army, all kinds of arrows and dogs and teeth of each other, the boss was a little stunned for a while.

At first, it was just a team, and Kong Jie's kid took the lead in setting off a winter counteroffensive.

At that time, regarding the specific battle plan of this winter counteroffensive, Kong Jie still made a special report to the headquarters, and the boss personally gave instructions.

As a result, the detachment fought beautifully, and the winter counteroffensive hit many towns and villages of the Japanese army.

In one fell swoop, it shattered the rumors that the Eighth Route Army was swimming but not attacking.

As a result, the winter offensive developed into the middle and late stages.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong and their entourage accidentally detected intelligence, and the Japanese army was preparing to attack the Huangyadong Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army.

So the attack and defense of Huangya Cave broke out.

The troops directly under the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and several main forces of the 386 Brigade engaged the Japanese army inside Huangyadong, and more than a dozen main regiments in the nearby base areas and military subdivisions began to fight with the Japanese reinforcements.

After that, the 385 Brigade base area anti-sweeping battle began.

The main force of the 385th Brigade and more than a dozen main regiments of various base areas and military subdivisions were engaged in anti-sweeping operations.

Then the anti-sweeping battle in the Iron Triangle defense area began, and the few regiments left behind fought with reinforcements from southern Hebei, as well as a large number of local troops.

Engage with the Mongolian garrison in the south.

The Zhongtiao Mountain troops did not move for the time being as reinforcements, and the troops of the Chiang Army on the periphery also participated in the operation.

Break the game for the sake of the picture.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong joined forces and boldly proposed a battle plan for a surprise attack on Datong.

What kind of person is always the old man, a handsome general who has experienced a hundred battles, even if he realized that this plan was feasible, he gave full support with absolute courage, and finalized the battle plan of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie in detail.

So far, the 120th Division Yanbei Detachment, the 358th Brigade and other troops have fully cooperated with the 129th Division's mobile troops to fight in the direction of Baode County and Datong, as well as Yan'an reinforcements, which also have more than 20 regiments.

】

As the situation between the two sides has become more and more anxious, the two sides have invested more and more troops.

On the map, even the boss himself was dazzled.

That's it, not counting the sabotage battles along the Tongpu Railway and the troops that pacified the sabotage battles along the railways.

It turned out that the devil fast squadron, the motorized search team, and the traitor flying convoy that were still showing off their might were blown up by roadside bombs as soon as they came out of the city gate.

These forces are coordinated with the Iron Triangle Attack Wolf Force, which infiltrates everywhere.

Not to mention the Japanese army, even the boss thinks, how can the entire Shanxi and Hebei regions, and even in the direction of Inner Mongolia, have the combat strength of our Eighth Route Army in all directions and regions?

Movement warfare, ambush warfare, positional warfare, pursuit warfare, storming battle......

Almost all kinds of battles were encompassed by the battle in front of them.

The boss who came back to his senses also had a headache, such an increasingly complicated and huge situation, even he was not sure how to effectively conduct the overall command next.

It is estimated that it can only lead to a general direction.

The rest is for the regiments to let go and fight well.

It's just that......

"This ...... How does it feel a little familiar? ”

"By the way, I think about it, isn't this exactly the change before the Battle of the Hundred Regiments completely entered a large-scale battle?"

For this reason, the boss sighed in his heart.

I was really bored, I didn't think about a full-scale battle of such a scale at all, what the hell is going on, and it has gradually evolved into the current situation?

Fortunately, in this battle, according to the evolution of the current situation, the Eighth Route Army has completely gained the upper hand.

Datong has broken the city.

The Japanese army in Huangya Cave has been completely annihilated.

The counter-sweep of the 385th Brigade was successfully completed, inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army and suppressing all the field armies of the Japanese army in the security area of the devils.

The battle of the Iron Triangle Force to annihilate the southbound troops stationed in Mongolia is also nearing its end.

"Perhaps, it's time for the fighters to hone and hone in advance and accumulate more combat experience after entering the strategic counteroffensive stage in the future!"
