1082 All-out counteroffensive Operation Skyfall
Ding Wei said with a smile: "Lao Li, don't complain, after this rainstorm, we have a headache, and the little devil has a headache, we are in the base area, our degree of mechanization is not high, and the impact is relatively small." ”
Li Yunlong said: "I just feel a headache, after this rainstorm falls, it would be good if it could only affect the devils, and it would not affect the transportation and operations of our troops." ”
"Eh, Lao Li, your idea is good, and we may not be able to do it!"
As soon as Kong Jie on the side spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of Li Yunlong and Ding Wei.
"Lao Kong, do you have an idea again?" Li Yunlong asked in surprise.
Kong Jie smiled and didn't reply, but shouted out the door: "Monk!" ”
In the courtyard, Monk Wei quickly brought a few soldiers and pulled some equipment in.
At this time, the torrential rain had stopped, only the drizzle was still falling, and the yard was also covered with dirt roads, and the same mud was crushed.
Even the headquarters of Kong Jie's three people, due to everyone coming in and out, there were mud marks one after another on the ground, which was obviously messy.
The monk instructed the soldiers to move, and each of them pushed a wheelbarrow with hooks on both sides of the wheelbarrow, and on each side of the hook hung two large bags of things in sturdy sacks, and I don't know what they were.
I saw a soldier remove the sack from the hook on the left side of the wheelbarrow, then open the mouth of the sack, grab the two corners of the tail of the sack, and pull it hard, and the stones scattered on the ground.
Several warriors immediately stepped forward and used their shovels to lay out the larger stones at the bottom and pave a path.
Other warriors poured the contents of the other sacks hanging from the wheelbarrow on top of the stone-paved pavement, which turned out to be some gravel.
In this way, five or six warriors, in a moment's effort, paved a gravel road that was seven or eight meters long and more than one meter wide.
Originally, there was still some mud in the yard, but a gravel path was immediately paved out to avoid the mud, and people immediately walked on it much more comfortable.
Kong Jie explained in a timely manner: "After such a stone road is quickly constructed, no matter how muddy the road is, our bicycles, modified motorcycles and other vehicles can pass through.
If the road is muddy and exaggerated, you can also lay sleepers and wood.
In addition, these materials are not disposable, and we can recycle them after they are quickly used up and continue to use them.
In order to avoid the situation that our various combat vehicles are impassable after encountering muddy roads.
Lao Li, Lao Ding, what do you think of this idea? ”
Ding Wei, who was the first to come back to his senses, nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, Lao Kong, I'm really curious about how your head grows."
The torrential rain has been falling these days, and there is a lot of mud on the road along the road in our base area, not to mention the car, and it is enough to choke people.
Using this method, although it will not be so convenient, it can still solve a lot of trouble.
In this way, our heavy weapons, our artillery, and all kinds of vehicles can be transported, but it is much slower than the devil being completely stopped by the muddy road and making it difficult to move an inch.
When the devil's trucks, cars, armored vehicles, and tanks were all stuck in the mud and couldn't move, our heavy weapons and all kinds of combat vehicles were transported to the front line using these gravel roads.
After the battle broke out, the degree of mechanized combat between our two sides was directly reversed, and I saw enough of the little devils drinking a pot! ”
Kong Jie smiled: "So even God is helping us!"
The so-called Skyfall Operation, if it were missing the elements of this day, I think it would be almost meaningful! ”
Soon after, the drizzle was replaced by a pouring rain.
Guan Village, the old devil who has lost his previous ambition and hides in a temporary tent to hide from the rain, is old like an old man in the twilight for a while.
He looked at the pouring rain with some sadness, and for a while his heart was in turmoil.
"The rain was so heavy that the troops could only temporarily take shelter from the rain and could not continue the march!" The chief of staff of the devil came in the rain and reluctantly reported the situation
Guan Cun nodded and said, "Then wait for the rain to get a little lighter, and continue to retreat to the periphery!" ”
"Fortunately, this heavy rain will not only torment us, but the enemy will also be affected." The chief of staff of the devil was relieved.
"How's the logistics?"
"Please rest assured, although our army has lost a lot of grain and grass due to the hasty evacuation, but fortunately, we are well prepared, and there is a large amount of grain stored by Kawashima in advance in the stronghold along the way, which can continue to supply the troops."
"Roar!" Sekimura nodded, feeling better at all.
In the city of Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese army in Shanxi.
The heavy raindrops crackled down, and the commander of the First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio, who smashed the devil in the headquarters, was also in a state of confusion.
At this time, this old devil was scolding Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in North China.
He didn't have the guts to scold Okamura in person, but he still complained a few words in private.
Not long ago, when the Ushijima Manchu Division was advancing to the Huangyadong area of the Eighth Route Army, the Sixth Division was again mired in the Iron Triangle base area of the Eighth Route Army, the 13 th Division was advancing to the Jizhong Military Region, and the Third Division and the First Army in Shandong were also carrying out a sweep of the Eighth Route Army in the base area.
The troops of the Eighth Route Army, mainly the 120th Division in the northern Shanxi region, suddenly had a large number of main forces appear around Taiyuan and launched an attack on the outer fortifications of Taiyuan.
Iwamatsu Yoshio thus reported to the General Headquarters that the Eighth Route had a tendency to besiege Taiyuan City.
But Okamura, an old devil, was very confident in this, and he even comforted Yan Song, saying that it was impossible for the Eighth Road to really attack Taiyuan, but it was just a battle on the surface, and he wanted to use this to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
In the end, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Okamura still mobilized some troops to return to Taiyuan.
However, it is obvious that he did not take the situation of Taiyuan under siege to heart at all.
Command of the North-Western Military District.
The teacher laughed, "Little devil, this is looking down on us!" What do you mean, do you really think that we are just making a small fuss and dare not plot against Taiyuan? ”
Operation Thunder that followed quickly unfolded.
The Japanese army rushed to Taiyuan with reinforcements from the north and south of the Pu Line, and then was blocked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army along the way.
The 120th Division was officially put into the second phase of the troops, blocking the reinforcements of the devils by spreading minefields and destroying railways and highways, and at the same time sending interspersed troops to cooperate with the base troops around the Tongpu line to attack the rear of the devils, and engaged in a large-scale sabotage war.
And that's not all.
The teacher had heard about the awesomeness of a commando detachment.
As early as when Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led a mobile force to attack Datong, the teacher specially asked Kong Jie to help the 120th Division to build a secret combat unit similar to a detachment of assault troops.
This time it really came in handy.
The teacher had been pondering a plan to attack the Japanese Minburg airfield.
This Mingbao airport was once destroyed by a detachment of assault troops, and at that time, even the fuel stored at the airport was blown up by it, and the devils suffered a lot of losses as a result, and even the commander-in-chief Okamura, who was far away in Beiping, was furious.
After fully learning the lesson, the Japanese army especially strengthened the defense of the Mingbao airfield, and the fortifications were extended to a distance of 10 kilometers, and a number of permanent aircraft forts were built.
But this time, because the entire North China side was fighting everywhere, it was almost a mess, and the devil's troops were stretched.
The large number of troops that were originally used to defend the airfield was simply not enough to defend a large area with the deployment of troops.
The circle of defense shrank back.
The commander drew up a battle plan, using the special operations unit as a special artillery guide unit, and then using the long-range howitzers of the 120th Division's mobile unit to attack the airport camp and runway from a distance.
When the devil guards go to drive away from the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops, they will use mobile troops to destroy the enemy in a roundabout way.
At this time, the secret infiltration force carried out a surprise attack on the airport through the secret tunnel secretly built by the local military engineering team.
What do you want to do?
Not only did he have to take down the devil's airport, but he also had to steal all the devil's planes from him.
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong set an excellent example in this regard, which made these commanders realize that it was too bad to directly bomb the devil's airport, and they had to learn from Li Yunlong and Kong Jie to live like them, and try to capture the devil's plane directly.
On the Yan'an side, when the leaders learned that the Eighth Route Army also had an aviation unit, not to mention how happy they were, the video of the aviation unit recorded by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong couldn't help but watch it every few days.
International journalists came to put it again.
An international friend came, let it go.
Some returned overseas Chinese compatriots came, let it go again.
It's simply the best greeting gift.
The teacher pondered that he would have to come all of a sudden.
For this reason, he has been planning for more than half a year, and this passage secretly built by the military engineering team behind enemy lines has long been prepared.
In addition, before this official operation, the teacher also specially invited some professional pilots from a detachment, including some pilots and fighters who piloted a detachment of aviation units to carry out the first air raid against the Japanese army.
It also included some American pilots who came to help.
The row is quite available.
As long as the action goes well, all the devil planes at Mingbao Airport will run for him!
Under the fermentation of various factors.
That's why Iwamatsu scolded Okamura.
Yan Song stared at the map every day, anxious, first the mobile reinforcements on the north side of the Tongpu line were blocked in the northern hills, and there was no way to reinforce them in time.
Then the fortress west of Taiyuan City was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army even used the heavy artillery fortifications specially prepared by Yoshio Shinozuka in the early stage to continuously bombard the fortifications of Taiyuan Outer City.
The fortifications in the east of the city were raided by the Eighth Route Army, losing half of their positions and falling into a bitter battle.
The mobile troops on the south side of the Tongpu line converged with the Jinzhong reinforcements, but they were blocked on the plain south of the city, and the Suqian airport was lost.
The mobile troops that sent out a counterattack in Taiyuan City were routed in the south of the city, and had no choice but to retreat into the city, and two armored trains were lost, and these armored trains and the freight passenger trains at the station outside the city were all driven away by the Eighth Route Army, and they were crossed on the position outside the south of the city, artificially increasing the difficulty of the reinforcements' attack.
The situation at that time was:
The northern part of Taiyuan City is hilly terrain, and it is easier to insert Yangqu to the northern part of Taiyuan to block devil reinforcements.
The 120th Division asked the original Taiyuan city defense commander, that is, Fu Yisheng, to borrow information and send elite troops to raid through the dark passage originally designed by the Jin Sui Army.
This is done in order to lay a nail in the west of Taiyuan City, and the siege troops can attack and retreat.
In particular, there is a 10-year 120-mm cannon squadron and a 45-type heavy cannon squadron on the heavy artillery position in the west of the city, which are hidden in the fortifications and can be shelled by turning around.
The range of the artillery fire was long enough to envelop most of the core area where the Japanese army was located.
At the same time, the air force of the independent detachment, with the assistance of signal lights in the base area, carried out an air attack on the Japanese artillery positions with heavy bombs on the Dongshan fortress in Taiyuan City.
Cooperate with a mobile unit of Ding Wei and the troops directly under the 129th Division to raid the Dongshan position.
There are devils heavily guarded there, so you don't need to take them all down, you just need to blow up the devils' fortress heavy artillery positions, occupy the high ground near Wusu Airport, and cover the 120th Division's mobile troops to attack the airport.
In this way, there are nails of the Eighth Route Army in the east, west, and north of the city; After the southern part of the city emptied the airfield, they made a feint attack on the south of the city, and by the way, they set up a blocking position to block the reinforcements from Jinzhong, and they could get artillery support from the high ground in the east of the city.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army's blocking position in the north of the city was a hilly area, and it was possible to use the undulating hills to set up multiple lines of defense, but there was no problem.
However, the area south of the city is a large plain, and Brigade Commander Zhang asked Kong Jie in advance for defensive methods, and Kong Jie thought about it, in addition to arranging a large number of minefields, setting up real and false fortifications, and digging positions with special engineering vehicles.
You can also learn from Lieutenant General Huang Wu, who was born in the civil engineering department and is known as the flesh mill, during the Battle of Songhu, and used all the available resources at hand to build extraordinary fortifications.
"Put the transport trucks of the devil's industrial and mining enterprises, the passenger cars of the passenger transport enterprises, the train cars of Taiyuan Station, and the motorized armored trains seized outside the city to the positions and form a steel defense line.
Of course, the engine and other parts were removed when they had time, leaving an iron car full of sandbags as a bunker.
After our fortifications are completed, in the open plain area, we have fortifications, and the little devils are unobstructed, and this battle will be easy to fight. ”
Brigade Commander Zhang heard it at the time, and praised Kong Jie's brain that it was really not something that ordinary people could grow.
So in the direction of the south of the city, the devil thought that it could be used as a mobile breakthrough, and it was absolutely impossible to be completely blocked by the Eighth Road, but it was also completely cut off!
According to this line of thought, soon after, the Japanese army engaged the enemy on three sides of Taiyuan City, and half of the Dongshan fortification group was captured by the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese heavy artillery position was blown up, and the two sides confronted each other across the hill, and no one could do anything for the time being.
Pity the Japanese army in Taiyuan City, all the retreat routes were completely blocked, and the reinforcements did not arrive, and Taiyuan City became an isolated city.
The Japanese puppet army in the city was panicked for a while, and no one knew what other methods the Eighth Route Army had not used.
Under such an offensive, not to mention Iwamatsu and Okamura, it is estimated that when the Devil Emperor comes, he will be sure that the Eighth Route Army is going to attack Taiyuan!
The headquarters of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army.
The old devil Yan Song watched the Eighth Route Army approach the outer city little by little, and there were extended fortifications of the Eighth Route Army everywhere outside the city, and the artillery attacks intensified, and more and more numbers appeared.
In particular, the radio sector is also hearing more and more communication signals.
This all shows that the siege headquarters of the Eighth Route Army at all levels have been put in place one after another.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
Iwamatsu Yoshio's heart was also completely disturbed......
