And what is the so-called breakthrough strategy of the deputy chief of the General Staff?

It turned out that not long ago, after deliberation, the cadres of the headquarters unanimously agreed that the situation around the direction of Li Cheng was getting more and more intense, and if it continued like this, it would only get out of control, and now was not the time for a decisive battle with the Japanese army.

So, what's next?

Very simple.

Avoid the light and the heavy, turn the real into the virtual, strike the east and the west, and divide the attack around the point.

What does that mean?

To put it simply, it was when the Japanese army, including the Jin Sui Army and the Chiang Army, thought that our Eighth Route Army was going to concentrate its forces and concentrate its forces to launch a large-scale decisive battle with the Japanese army on the battlefield of Licheng.

Eh, our Eighth Route Army team just didn't fight like this, but took advantage of the high-profile battlefield in Licheng to attract the attention of all parties of the Japanese puppet army.

Avoid the important and light.

The troops that were originally prepared to be put into the battlefield of Licheng directly swept through Licheng in the midst of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, and turned to other battlefields in a roundabout way.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was concentrated in Licheng and the defense lines were lax, they broke through in one fell swoop.

Then, the troops gathered in Licheng were quickly dispersed and transferred to various local battlefields.

Avoid the edge of the main force of the Japanese army, and completely destroy the rear of the Japanese army, which is empty, under-defended, and loosely defended.

This is like two fists that are about to smash together, but the fist representing the Eighth Route Army suddenly shook a little, avoiding the trend of imminent collision, and turned to sneak attack the opponent's vital point.

Let the little devil smash his fist on the cotton, and the strength of his body can't make it out of place.

Then, the Licheng battlefield, which originally seemed to be about to break out in a decisive battle, suddenly seemed to have become the sheep attack point of the Eighth Route Army, which was indeed enough to catch the Japanese army off guard.

Of course, for all this to be implemented smoothly, many prerequisites are required.

One is the information asymmetry between the two sides, and the communications system of the Eighth Route Military should be more like an arm in command of the overall troops.

Naturally, there is no problem with this.

In the past two years, the Eighth Route Army's Taihang Base Area has paid special attention to the improvement of the overall communications system.

To this end, after being approved by the General Headquarters, Kong Jie used considerable financial resources to purchase a large amount of the most advanced American-style communications equipment through some US arms dealers, including a large number of radio stations, both long-wave and short-wave, and large and small.

There is also a more convenient walkie-talkie, which is the fastest and most convenient communication equipment for front-line units.

In addition, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were under the unified command of the former enemy's general headquarters.

All the teams work together, the main force, the local troops, and even the militia forces, all parties cooperate and unite as one.

Even ordinary people have been included in the intelligence network, which has played a very important role.

In comparison, the Japanese army was much worse.

It is not uncommon for the navy and the army to always be at odds with each other, and even to stumble with each other.

As for the Army itself, there are no fewer internal contradictions.

Especially after the Pacific War and the outright outbreak of the Southeast Asian theater.

The Japanese army fought on multiple fronts, its strength was unsustainable, logistics were in short supply, and the contradictions intensified.

The security forces left behind by this devil in the rear are becoming more and more uneven.

The field elite is better and more united, but the local security forces, due to the gradual prolongation of the war, are almost invisible.

Coupled with the gradual decline of the Japanese army, many Japanese security forces were gradually decayed, and they did not have much intention of fighting at all, and only cared about making a fortune by relying on the war that lasted for a long time.

Coupled with those puppet army units on the wall, it is possible to make flaws in the Japanese army from the inside at any time.

The reason why the intelligence work of the Eighth Route Army has made such rapid progress is also inseparable from the above factors.

The First Army of the devil includes troops stationed in Mongolia, as well as troops from Central China and South China, as well as troops from the Kwantung Army.

They seem to be in harmony with each other on the surface, but they are also intrigues with each other in private.

How can it compare to the uniting and monolithic troops of the Eighth Route Army?

Another.

It's just the right time.

First of all, the devils set off against the Huangyadong Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army and the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Base Area were defeated.

And Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led mechanized combat troops to attack Datong.

After a series of fiascos, when the Eighth Route Army quickly converged with a large number of troops towards Licheng.

The Japanese and Japanese preconceived ideas that the Eighth Route Army had really made up its mind to break through Licheng.

Of course, the Japanese army also had doubts, but they did not dare to gamble.

At the moment when Datong City was broken, the Japanese army suddenly woke up to the fact that the Eighth Route Army already had the strength to break through the fortress city.

Even the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka, who was in the headquarters of the First Army of Taiyuan City, especially strengthened the vigilance of the entire Taiyuan City as soon as the news of the destruction of Datong City came.

This old devil is also afraid!

I'm afraid that those Eighth Route Army will go crazy, and even Taiyuan will give him a boost.

Then his first army may not even have the last fig leaf.

As the commander, Yoshio Shinozuka is guilty of even death.

Therefore, the Japanese army had reason to believe that the Eighth Route Army was indeed going to attack Licheng, and they did not dare to delay, and even asked for help from the Kwantung Army, Central China, and South China.

After setting up a full battle, he decided to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army, according to the original plan, was indeed preparing to attack Licheng after breaking through Datong.

At least at the preparatory meeting before the start of the battle, this is how the headquarters arranged.

Therefore, the troops attacking Li Cheng from all walks of life did not spare their hands at all, and they came up and played with their lives directly.

If you want to say that the battle is just a sheep attack, a false attack, a fake attack, let alone a devil, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army don't believe it.

Until......

The orders of the headquarters were quickly transmitted to the brigades and regiments of the front line through a complete communication network.

The front-line combat units also quickly dispatched a large number of signal troops to report to each other.

Only then did the commanders realize that the decisive battle that was about to unfold around Licheng might not be able to continue.

Command:

"All units quickly evacuated from the vicinity of Licheng, and according to their own conditions, they waited for an opportunity to withdraw to the base area, or infiltrated the enemy's weakly defended areas, avoiding the important and expanding the results of the battle!"

The commanders are all smart people, and as soon as this order from the headquarters is issued, everyone understands what it means.

In fact, seeing that the main forces of all parties were gathering in Licheng, and seeing that a decisive battle with the Japanese army was about to start, many commanders were also a little hesitant.

It all came so fast.

Just when everyone thought they were really going to have a tough fight with the little devil.

The order from the headquarters arrived.

While the commanders suddenly came back to their senses, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

At present, the decisive battle with the Japanese army is underway, and everyone is indeed not fully prepared.

As for taking the opportunity to intersperse, detour, and infiltrate the areas where the Japanese defense line is weak, that is the specialty of the front-line troops.

Therefore, under the order of the headquarters, the front-line troops immediately transferred their troops, and while setting up suspicious formations, they continued to leave part of the troops to attack Licheng, and on the other hand, they took the opportunity to transfer their troops and evacuate.

……

And Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led the rapid reaction force, directly avoiding Li Cheng, all the way south, waiting for opportunities to seek other battlefields, which happened before the order of the headquarters was issued.

It's no wonder that the deputy chief of the general staff sighed with emotion: "Boss, these two stinky boys shouldn't have thought of us going ahead, right?" ”

"I look at just one Sanjin, I'm afraid I can't satisfy the appetite of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie!"

A cadre suggested: "Boss, do you immediately contact Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, let them take it easy, and don't go too far alone?" ”

The boss laughed and asked rhetorically: "Believe it or not, if I really give this order, even if Kong Jie and Li Yunlong are willing to carry out the order, these two muddy boys will definitely give me a discount.

Maybe it was withdrawn according to the order, but it was not withdrawn by the same way, but it was a detour to a small half of China, and then it returned to the base area, as for the devil puppet army encountered on the road, people said that they would fight it by the way, what can you do? ”

The cadres were stunned when they heard this, and then burst into laughter.

The deputy chief of the general staff even analyzed: "Regardless of whether Kong Jie and Li Yunlong thought of going together with us, they led the rapid reaction force to the south and broke through to the battlefields of other provinces, perhaps now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

In the direction of Licheng, after the tactical adjustment of our army, a large number of combat units infiltrated the rear of the Japanese defense in a roundabout way, and the Japanese army would immediately fall into a state of anxiety and would not care about other places at all.

This is also the time for our rapid reaction force to penetrate and fight over long distances.

As for the final result, let's wait for the good news from Li Yunlong and Kong Jie! ”

……

……

At this time, the two protagonists Li Yunlong and Kong Jie in the mouth of the boss and the deputy chief of staff have been divided into two ways, and before leaving, Li Yunlong said to Kong Jie excitedly:

"Lao Kong, when the little devils engaged in massacres, what a fucking bastard, a few devils agreed to see who killed more people, it was just an animal, thinking about Lao Tzu was angry.

This blood debt should be paid in blood.

This time, the two of us might as well make a bet, after the soldiers are divided into two ways, let's see who of our two teams wins more battles, kills more devils and puppet soldiers, captures more materials, and grows stronger. ”

Kong Jie smiled: "Lao Li, if you say so, then we have to compare them well!" ”

"Okay, then we're done!"

After the two hit it off.

Immediately, each led half of the fully mechanized combat troops, all the way to the west of Shandong, all the way to the direction of northern Henan.

…… At the same time.

After the order of the headquarters was issued, with the adjustment of the tactics of each unit, the troops that originally attacked in the direction of Li Cheng were thundering and raining, and after the suspicious formation was paralyzed by the judgment of the Japanese army for nearly half a day.

When several reinforcements from the Japanese army finally arrived at the outskirts of Licheng, they were just preparing to attack the troops of the Eighth Route Army besieging the city.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the city fled without looking back.

The little devils pursued all the way, and the soldiers scattered all the way, and soon disappeared into the suburban mountains and villages, which made the Japanese army stunned.

The imaginary decisive battle with the main force of the Eighth Route Army after the arrival of reinforcements did not take place.

These eight roads are actually withdrawn at the touch of a button, and they are not in love with war at all.

Some of the mechanized combat units in Central China and South China who had come over did not know the strength of the Taihang Eighth Route Army, and in the face of the rapidly withdrawn Eighth Route Army, there were even Japanese mechanized combat squadrons in deep pursuit.

Subsequently, fierce battles broke out.

When the follow-up Japanese reinforcements arrived, the mechanized squadron that was deeply pursuing fell into the traps set by the Eighth Route Army along the way, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, and most of the more than a dozen military vehicles were blown up.

So far.

The devils in Central China and South China finally realized the rampant and strong nature of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

This is completely different from the Eighth Route Army troops there.

As a result, in the face of the troops of the Eighth Route Army who originally besieged Licheng but retreated, the Japanese troops who had been reinforced no longer dared to pursue at will.

With the reinforcements of the Japanese army from many directions, the siege troops of the Eighth Route Army gradually retreated, and Yoshio Shinozuka, who learned the news, also breathed a long sigh of relief.

At least Li Cheng was saved, and he was not lost again after the destruction of Datong City, and his first army retained the last face.

But then came one bad news after another.

Shouyang emergency, Yangquan emergency, Heyuan emergency, Ping'an County emergency, Tan County emergency......

The blockade lines everywhere urgently asked for help, saying that they had been attacked by the main combat forces of the Eighth Route Army, and a large number of defensive lines had been lost and broken through by the Eighth Route Army.

After these breakthroughs, the troops of the Eighth Route Army continued to make a detour all the way, and even penetrated directly into the districts of central Hebei, southern Hebei, northern Henan, and southern Jin.

When the news came, the devil officers were completely stunned.

It means that the crisis in Li Cheng has been resolved, but it has been replaced by other districts and cities.

A day later, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which originally surrounded the Licheng area, had basically disappeared, and the Kwantung Army, Central China, and South China's troops, which continued to move closer to Licheng, were still advancing towards Licheng.

It wasn't until these little devils converged with the devils of the First Army that they learned that the crisis in Licheng had been resolved.

But then it was learned that the Eighth Route dispersed the main force, infiltrated, and even broke through the defense line in Shanxi, endangering other provinces.

The devil officers were stunned.

There are also those who secretly rejoice.

For example, Major General Ishikawa, commander of the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army.

As an escape expert, Ishikawa, although he lost the battle, basically retained the structure and held the main defense area, but despite this, he was still ridiculed by many colleagues.

At present, it is known that the Taihang Eighth Route Army has broken through many defense areas, and has even spread to central Hebei, southern Hebei, and even northern Henan and western Luxi.

The old devil Ishikawa is secretly happy in his heart!

The more noisy the Eighth Route Army became, the greater the losses in other occupied areas, and the more it could cover up its own mistakes.

Others lost territory, lost equipment, lost materials, and suffered heavy losses, but I didn't lose the defense area, the army structure is still there, and in the end, who will be more embarrassed or who will be more embarrassed!

If you want to carry the blame, you will carry it together, and if you want to lose face, you will lose it together.

Don't you don't believe that the Eighth Route Army in this Taihang area is powerful, then let your other armies have a good taste.

Thinking of this, Ishikawa couldn't wait to give a direct order to open up the defense area under his own charge and let the Eighth Route Army pass.

Dead friends don't die poor!
