……

They are also fighting in constant attrition, why after six days in a row, the devil is sleepy and tired, the combat vehicle is seriously damaged, and the fuel supply is insufficient.

And the armored vehicles that suddenly counterattacked on the Eighth Route Army were still basically undamaged?

This question may have been answered at the military meeting of the Eighth Route Army six days ago.

The people who participated in the meeting at that time included Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and generals at all levels of the Northwest Military Region.

The theme of the meeting was directly proposed by the division commander.

"How to cripple or even eliminate the Japanese Nanzhi armored brigade?"

The soldiers analyzed the comparison of the strength of the enemy and the enemy from various angles, as well as the many situations that could be expected once the battle broke out.

Kong Jie took the lead in proposing: "The strength of this chariot brigade, or chariot cluster, of the devil must not be underestimated, especially in a vast area like Mengxi, where the combat terrain is flat at a glance.

It can even be said that for the time being, we do not have any mobile troops that can go head-to-head with this tank cluster of devils and win a complete victory.

So we have to figure out a way, and there are two ideas here.

One is to drag until the devil's armored troops are exhausted, and drag until the devils are sleepy and tired, at this time the Japanese army's mechanical vehicles are basically the wear and tear of the loss, and the ones to be repaired are to be repaired.

The other one, one fist is not easy to deal with, so we have to find a way to break him into five fingers.

The devil's armored cluster is powerful, in addition to their equipment advantage, but also their mobility advantage, we can only find a way to completely divide the devil's armored cluster for him.

to find an opportunity to break them one by one.

The tactics of outflanking and eliminating in a roundabout way are our old methods, and they are also applicable here. ”

Brigade Commander Zhang added: "In addition, we have to consider the air power of the devils, the Japanese puppet army airfield in Wuchagou is not far away, and the devil's fighter jets may arrive at any time, which is also a troublesome matter." ”

It's just that Brigade Commander Zhang's so-called troublesome matter, in the eyes of Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, it doesn't seem to be difficult to solve, and the two even showed bright smiles.

Brigade Commander Zhang was a little puzzled, so he asked Li Yunlong: "I said Li Yunlong, why, I said the wrong thing?" ”

Li Yunlong hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, brigade commander, what you said is not wrong at all!" ”

"And what are you laughing at?"

"Old brigade commander, in this case, let me tell you a piece of data!"

In the end, it was Kong Jie who explained with a smile: "Since our detachment has built a solid base area, the Japanese army has sent at least a dozen planes to reconnoiter our detachment every month.

The devils carry out air raids and bombings from time to time, at least three or five times a month.

According to the results reported by the Japanese army's flying units, they basically blew up no less than dozens of fortifications and camps of our detachment every month.

In addition, there are no less than dozens of factories, factories, and some military bases. ”

Brigade Commander Zhang nodded, listening to this data, he couldn't help but feel a little painful.

In this way, I am afraid that this team will lose a lot of money every month!

Kong Jie changed his words, and then asked rhetorically:

"So according to the battle situation reported by the old brigade commander, how much loss do you think will be caused by the Japanese air raids every month?"

There were words in the words, and Brigade Commander Zhang realized that something was wrong, "Kong Jie, don't beat around the bush for you kid!" ”

Kong Jie smiled: "Okay, then I'll be blunt, in fact, the specific losses of our team are not even 1/20 of the results reported by the little devils."

Why?

The devils did blow up a large number of factory construction, military construction, and even some communications departments, headquarters and the like of my detachment.

But in fact, it was all given to the little devils and let them blow it up.

At least ninety percent of them are camouflaged air defense fortifications specially built by our team, including fake factories, fake command headquarters, fake various military bases, and so on.

These camouflage fortifications, we will send him as much as the little devil wants to blow up.

Of course, unilateral beating has never been our style, and the devil's plane ran to the head of our detachment's base area to bomb, and we naturally had to fight back.

For this reason, under the specially built air defense system of our team, in the case of frequent air raids by devils, at least three or five planes must crash forever in the mountains every month. ”

"In the end, we used a bunch of fake fortifications, but it was a waste of some manpower and material resources, and it was a great thing to replace some bricks, mud and sand, etc., but we were able to replace a few planes of the devils, old brigade commander, tell me, did I make or lose?"

Brigadier Zhang: "......"

In the end, Brigade Commander Zhang only said: "No wonder the little devils in your surrounding area, I heard that they are getting poorer and poorer the more they fight!" ”

Back to the topic at hand.

Kong Jie said: "If we want to start the tactics of the week, pull the timeline to the sixth day, or even the seventh day, and drag down all the Japanese soldiers and tanks, then we have to have bait, and it is a bait of sufficient weight."

For the armored brigade of the devils, nothing excites them more than an armored unit of the Eighth Route Army.

Then let's build a special armored force.

It's armored cars and tanks, how much the little devil wants, give him as much as he wants. ”

"Old Kong, what do you mean?"

"It's very simple, according to the current industrial production capacity of our team, it is not possible to produce tanks and armored vehicles independently.

But if you just use wheels, iron frames, and wood to build some movable camouflaged so-called armored vehicles, it will be easy.

As long as these vehicles are dropped into the Mengxi area, once detected by the Japanese army, the devils will definitely move out in a big way to destroy our armored forces.

At that time, we will use these camouflaged armored vehicles as the biggest bait to tempt the devil's armored brigade to encircle and suppress us.

Then we will continue to harass the Japanese army with a small force of armored troops, luring the devils to our designated nodes.

In this way, the devil is mobilizing, and it is air power, tanks and combat vehicles, plus a lot of manpower and material resources are consumed.

We only need to provide a supply for a small group of sneak attack troops.

The consumption of fuel and the wear and tear of mechanical vehicles will also be much smaller than the huge group of mechanized vehicles of the Japanese army. ”

Brigade Commander Zhang nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

"As for the final counteroffensive operation, how are you going to deploy it?"

Kong Jie said: "It's also simple, our main combat vehicles are all well camouflaged."

We have also prepared for this for a long time, and at the present time, the Mengxi area is basically a green meadow.

We have specially prepared a lot of grass-colored camouflage nets, and all the vehicles and equipment that can move are fully camouflaged, and when it comes to specific actions, scouts will cooperate.

It should not be difficult to dodge the aimless search of the devil reconnaissance plane on the vast plains and meadows.

In addition, around the area where our mechanical vehicles are hiding, we will always place some camouflaged mechanical vehicles.

This is one of the most clever ways to disguise:

Use more visible targets to cover the real targets you want to hide.

The devil pilots could see the black and faint armored vehicles on the cyan grassland at a glance from above, would they still search the other areas in detail, which was obviously a grass-colored plain? ”

"In addition, we can deploy troops in batches in advance on the predetermined node defense line.

When the last group of troops retreated to the node, they were immediately transferred for maintenance.

The waiting node troops continued to attack, that is, they did not give the Japanese army any respite.

In fact, it is a wheel tactic in disguise.

The devils thought that they were always chasing one of our armored units, but in fact it was multiple armored units.

We can divide the physical consumption of the soldiers and the functional wear and tear of the chariot.

The little devil can't do this, and sooner or later he will be dragged down by us.

In this way, many important nodes have left troops, and when the whole line counterattacks on the sixth day, all our node troops will be connected, and then the little devils will find in horror that a dense net has invisibly surrounded them. ”

Kong Jie said that this was a general tactical idea, and Brigade Commander Zhang took the case and said:

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"In this way, by the time we launch a full-front counteroffensive on the sixth day, the little devils have unknowingly fallen into our trap of division and encirclement.

On the other hand, in the process of our constant attacks, the soldiers have already been exhausted, and the chariots have also been worn out to a considerable extent.

Under the elimination of the other's strengths, we suddenly launched a general attack, and no matter how powerful the devil's chariot troops were, he had nothing to do. ”

The commissar added with a smile: "This is not the end! Our division commander had already contacted the 35th Route Army a day ago.

That Fu Yisheng is still the old way, and it is no problem to fight with our Eighth Route Army and cooperate with each other, but the premise is that our Eighth Route Army can play an advantage first and give the 35th Route Army a chance to exploit loopholes.

Once the main force of the devil's armored brigade is completely dragged by us.

The 35th Route Army, which has been bullied by the devil's armored troops these days, with Commander Fu's temperament, and with the elite strategy of a few regiments on our side, the 35th Route Army will most likely directly copy the devil's back road.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese army must have taken care of the tail.

This battle is not to be won! ”

……

……

In the end, after the battle between the two sides broke out, for six consecutive days, although the evolution of the entire battle situation was slightly different from the prediction of Kong Jie and other generals in some small aspects, the major aspects were basically the same.

The Japanese army was really attracted by the large number of Chinese armored forces that appeared in the target area, and then gathered heavy troops to encircle and suppress them.

When it was learned that the target area was the mobile unit of the Eighth Route Army.

The eight-way mechanized combat unit that attacked Datong and penetrated the area of Luxiluzhong.

The Japanese army was stunned at first, and then directly red-eyed.

Nanjirokuro, who personally led the armored brigade to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Mobile Force, and the commander of the Japanese Major General Brigade, swore when he reported the situation to Okamura Ninji, commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in North China:

"We will definitely be able to wipe out the mobile troops of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, restore the military prestige, and remove the great trouble for the Japanese Empire!"

The newly appointed commander of the Devil's Division believed that it was purely an accident that the Eighth Route attacked Datong with mobile troops, resulting in a sneak attack on the lair of the 26th Division.

Since he took over the command of the 26th Division, this time he will definitely wipe out this damned Eighth Route Mobile Force in one fell swoop and avenge the imperial warriors who died in the 26th Division.

And this is just one of the scenes in the battlefields of northern Jin and Mengxi, where the devil's high-level commanding officers are invincible.

The Japanese side is much more than that.

This time, in order to cooperate with Okamura Ningji's sweep of the Shandong and Shanxi battlefields, and in one fell swoop, the scale of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Military Region was planned.

The Japanese Chinese Dispatch Army sent additional 3rd, 6th, 13th, and 3rd elite field divisions.

At the same time, the General Headquarters of the Japanese Army's Chinese Dispatch Army also coordinated with the Kwantung Army and supported a Ushijima Manchu Division.

A total of four major field groups.

Among them, the three field divisions of the Japanese army often participated in large-scale battles, and in the Sino-Japanese war, there were many battles since the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu.

The various arms of the division have a very strong ability to cooperate with each other, and they are very good at fighting tough battles and frontal battles, and they can well coordinate with friendly and neighboring units in combat.

This Sixth Division is even more arrogant, not only good at frontal combat, but also good at interspersing in roundabouts, especially familiar with the terrain of Shanxi, and even has a proud record of defeating the main force of the Jin Sui Army.

The division commander Kazuo Sekimura was even more cynical about the local security forces, such as the commanders of the Northern Henan and SJZ Divisions, and the Texas Dazuo, and did not even restrain them in public.

He made it clear that he was the scum of the Great Japanese Empire and had lost the face of the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire.

As for the 13th Division, it does not seem to be as dazzling as the 3rd and 6th Divisions.

As the commander of the division, Bun Taiichiro is also relatively low-key.

The combat style is very steady, although it is not very outstanding in all aspects, but it is not bad, as a veteran main force, the combat effectiveness is absolutely not to be underestimated.

When analyzing these major field divisions and regiments that have been added by the little devils, the deputy chief of the general staff made it clear:

"Although judging from the intelligence information on the surface, the third and sixth divisions are stronger, I think that this thirteenth division may be the most tricky!"

In addition, the Ushijima Mountain Division of the Kwantung Army.

To be more accurate, this is like a strange division, usually inconspicuous, but proficient in mountain warfare.

The commander of the division, Mitsuru Ushijima, is a very difficult person to deal with, who is open-minded and studious, steady and prudent, and does not leak.

This guy has won many battles in the battle against the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, his combat style is well-founded, he is never greedy for merit, he is mainly stable, and he is proficient in all kinds of mountain tactics.

This is also the reason why the Japanese command sent an additional Ushijima Manchu Division to assist in dealing with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

In addition to these four field divisions, there were also soldiers and horses of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, as well as troops of the Twelfth Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Shandong.

The strength of the devil this time is unprecedentedly huge.

According to the division of combat areas, the Japanese army is roughly divided into three regional battlefields.

Northern Shanxi and Mengxi are one place, with the troops of the Eighth Route Army of the Northwest Military Region, the 35th Route Army in the Hetao area, and the mobile troops led by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, and the confrontation with the Japanese army in Mongolia and the Nanzhi armored brigade.

In the Shanxi battlefield, the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area and the Japanese army in Shanxi, including the Japanese army originally stationed in Shandong transferred from the Okamura War Zone, were the main ones.

plus a ...... on the battlefield in Shandong
