1102 Gather from all directions to watch the battle
Li Cheng.
The battle of the Eighth Route Army to capture Licheng had attracted the attention of all parties, and it was later announced that it would hold a military parade on the day of the August 1st Army Day in Licheng, and the momentum became louder and louder.
The attention of both the Chinese and Japanese commanders was drawn to Licheng.
In the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region, after winning the victory in the early stage of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle, the Japanese army pursued the victory, continued to expand the results along the way, and took the opportunity to loot a large amount of materials, equipment, food, etc., in order to enrich military supplies.
and kidnapped a large number of young and middle-aged people to achieve the purpose of feeding the war with war.
Because Chiang Jun waited to see the combat attitude of the European countries, and waited for the so-called allies to free up their hands and help deal with the Japanese army, the erroneous strategy adopted to avoid the decisive battle of Quzhou caused heavy casualties and losses.
At the moment, it is because of the movements of the Eighth Route Army around Li Cheng that have attracted the attention of all parties.
Chiang's side paid less attention.
This made the chairman of the committee secretly rejoice while feeling that the Eighth Route Army was so powerful that it dared to take the initiative to attack and capture Licheng.
Regarding the clash between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army in Licheng, the Jiang army took a wait-and-see attitude, and even had the meaning of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
The Jin Sui Army was curious, as an old neighbor of the Eighth Route Army, especially in the past few years, after the Eighth Route Army grew stronger, it has defeated the Japanese army again and again.
In this battle around Licheng, Chief Yan of the Second War Zone Governor's Department was pondering, and he was very sure that "the Eighth Road must be brewing some traps, waiting to pit people's little devils!" â
Lao Yan's favorite thing is to join in the fun, and then seek business opportunities that are beneficial to him from the excitement.
As long as you can make money, no matter if you are the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army, or the Central Army, what we will develop is this acre and three points of land in the Sanjin Dynasty, and it will be over when you become your own soil emperor.
So Chief Yan conveyed the news to the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
There are a lot of words, but the implication is nothing more than one: You little devils in the Eighth Route Army pit, let me also have long eyes!
After receiving the news, the deputy commander-in-chief generously extended an invitation and invited Chief Yan to enter the concealed air defense command post inside Licheng and personally experience the battle surrounding Licheng.
How cautious is Chief Yan, he is naturally not happy, if the little devil lifts the entire Li City, and he is affected by the pond fish again, who will he reason with?
In the end, Chief Yan agreed to wait and see the situation at the command post in a hidden air-raid shelter outside Licheng, accompanied by the deputy chief of general staff.
Also join in the fun.
When he arrived at the command post, Chief Yan also brought many officers of the Jin Sui Army over.
Among them are Yang Chongshan, the commander of the 57th Regiment, who has been in the limelight recently, and the commander of the 71st Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, that is, Wu Changsheng, who put forward the principle of "as long as there is money to earn, I don't care who he is, my troops also have to eat", and Wu Changsheng, who has also been working closely with a team in business over the years.
Then there is the grandson of the chairman, the senior disciple of Chief Yan, and Chu Yunfei, the head of the 358th regiment who has always been popular and makes the officers of the Jin Suijun jealous.
Yang Chongshan held his head high, followed closely by Chief Yan, and walked at the forefront of the officer team behind him, this old boy was so proud now, even Chu Yunfei's limelight was covered by him.
Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, was unhappy about this, and once mocked in the regimental headquarters: "Tuanzuo, we know very well what kind of goods this Yang Chongshan is, and now this pheasant with hair has become a phoenix, but it makes him angry." â
Chu Yunfei was much more calm, and said with a smile: "Meritorious brother, trouble comes from the mouth, and some words still need to be paid attention to."
In any case, Yang Chongshan could quickly develop his 57th Regiment and win many battles with the Japanese army, which was much better than many corpse vegetarian officers. â
"A rabble!"
Especially for the situation that the 57th Regiment will be stationed near the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army, it is the most ridiculous for Fang Ligong.
"It's like a sheep being enclosed in a sheepfold by Balu, as long as Balu wants to, he can slaughter and drink wine at any time!"
Chu Yunfei smiled and did not continue on this topic.
There are many officers in the Jin Sui army who are greedy for money and afraid of death, and he knows very well what these people are, and in the past few years, these officers even engaged in business with the devils in private while fighting the Japanese army head-on, and filled their pockets.
It's been a lot better over the years, and I don't have any dealings with devils, but I have business dealings with the Eighth Route Army.
It's a good thing in comparison.
At least the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army were still nominally friendly forces.
They are all anti-Japanese armed forces.
In Chu Yunfei's view, it is much better to fund the Eighth Route Army than to fund the Japanese army and the enemy.
Balu took supplies and ammunition and went to fight devils.
As for the situation where the 57th Regiment placed its station near the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army, Chu Yunfei secretly planned a response plan: "The 57th Regiment has to keep an eye on it, and once there is an emergency, our 358th Regiment must reinforce it as soon as possible." â
He added: "But for now, it's not like that, the devil is still our common enemy with the Eighth Road, and we should maintain it on the friendly line for a while."
This is also a matter of preparing in advance. â
It can be said that it was a quick reinforcement to the past.
In fact, Chu Yunfei also knew very well that if Kong Jie and Li Yunlong really wanted to make a move on the 57th Regiment, even if he Chu Yunfei transferred the entire strength of the 358th Regiment to reinforce the past, it might not change anything.
I don't know when.
Perhaps with the change of time, Chu Yunfei's perception of the team led by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei is also constantly changing.
As Fang Ligong sighed: "In the original Cangyunling Campaign, a Bantian Wing still needed multiple regiments of the Eighth Route Army to fight together to barely cope.
That's it, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong also tried their best to make a trick to lead the water to the east, and with the help of the artillery of our 358th regiment, they defeated the Bantian United in one fell swoop.
But in the blink of an eye, it's only been less than three years, Tuanza, look at it, what has the team of the Eighth Route Army Iron Triangle become? â
"Not to mention, when the devil set off the May Day sweep this time, the Sixth Field Division, together with the assistance of some security forces and the Japanese 12th Army, almost threw the main force into the sweep of the Iron Triangle base area.
The result was beyond all of our expectations, and instead of successfully penetrating the Iron Triangle base area, the Japanese army was almost wiped out by the elite troops of the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army.
Oh, my God!
That's an almost full-fledged field elite division of the Japanese army!
God knows how Kong Jie and Li Yunlong commanded in this battle, how did this invincible, rampant Japanese army look like mud in the hands of the Eighth Route Army? â
At the time of the Battle of Cangyunling.
Kong Jie's independent regiment, Li Yunlong's new regiment, including the 771st regiment of Commander Xu, who fought together, the three regiments together were only three or four thousand troops, barely equal to the Bantian Wing.
But Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment was already strong at that time, with more than 5,000 elites in the whole regiment, and a mountain artillery battalion, which was equipped with excellent firepower, which was better than the Japanese army.
In a flash, the Japanese army's May Day sweep ended in a fiasco.
Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment is basically the same, still with more than 5,000 troops, a mountain artillery battalion, plus several victories with the Japanese army, and some equipment captured.
On the other hand, the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army.
The new regiment, which had only more than 1,000 troops at the beginning, can now pull out six or seven thousand troops casually.
Even the newly formed Second Regiment led by Li Yunlong later can now easily crush the 358th Regiment in terms of troops.
The independent regiment led by Kong Jie has now grown into the first independent detachment of anti-Japanese resistance in the northwest of Shanxi, not to mention.
Once upon a time, in the Battle of Cangyunling, Chu Yunfei didn't even take the so-called independent regiment, the new regiment, and the 771st regiment of the Eighth Route Army in his eyes.
At that time, he regarded his imaginary enemy as the Japanese Sakata Wing in Cangyun Ridge.
Later, with the growth of the independent regiment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment, Chu Yunfei gradually transformed the imaginary enemy into the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army's Iron Triangle.
As for now......
Just as Fang Ligong's straight head said: "The Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army is growing stronger and stronger day by day, and sooner or later it will become a big problem for the party-state, and if conflicts break out in the future, I am afraid that the strength of our 358th Regiment will not be enough!" â
Chu Yunfei was silent, even if he had the backbone of a soldier, he had to admit that the current 358 Regiment was probably no longer comparable to the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi, or even any party in the Iron Triangle.
When Chief Yan rushed to Licheng to watch the battle, Chu Yunfei applied to come with him, just to take a good look at how far the team of the Iron Triangle has developed now.
When choosing a place to watch the battle, Chief Yan politely refused the invitation of the deputy commander-in-chief to enter the internal headquarters of Licheng and watch the battle at close range, and finally chose to watch the battle at the air-raid shelter headquarters outside the city.
Chu Yunfei was naturally not afraid of death, and directly chose to enter the command post built by the Eighth Route Army in Licheng to watch the battle.
Yang Chongshan, who was holding his head high, heard this, hehe, you Chu Yunfei are not afraid of death, and of course my surname Yang can't be afraid, so he also chose to enter Li Cheng to watch the battle.
Lao Yang saw this thoroughly.
Captain Kong has entered the command post inside Li Cheng, can he harm himself?
He's steady!
This time, the devil is going to suffer a big loss again.
In order to cope with the operation around Licheng, the Eighth Route Army arranged a number of headquarters to coordinate operations in advance.
Among them, Kong Jie sat in the Licheng Air Defense Front Command, and in accordance with the orders of the former enemy's general headquarters, he was fully responsible for the air operation around Licheng.
Li Yunlong sat in the command of the long-range antiaircraft artillery group, and once he received Kong Jie's order, he would immediately mobilize his troops and use the air defense system built in advance to carry out operations against the Japanese air force that was attacking in the air.
Ding Wei sat in the command center of the teleprobe unit to ensure that the plan was concealed and foolproof.
All other commanders at all levels were stationed in the regional command centers to cooperate with the unified orders of Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei.
Kong Jie took the initiative to apply for command this time, on the one hand, because he was most familiar with the aviation unit built by the detachment and was very handy in commanding.
On the other hand, considering the battle around Li Cheng this time, there were many bigwigs who came to observe, and Kong Jie also wanted to take advantage of this convenience to further expand the business of the team!
Except for Chief Yan and his entourage from the Second World War Zone Governor's Department.
Including Commander Tang from northern Henan, he also came.
Talking about business is definitely indispensable, if Commander Tang has seen such methods of the Eighth Route Army with his own eyes, even the most powerful aviation unit of the devil can be ignored.
Whether he wants to carry out closer business cooperation with Balu in the future, or even political cooperation across business cooperation, depends on whether his vision is long-term enough.
There were also Allied representatives of various countries.
Through the strength of the Eighth Route Army, including the strength of the aviation units in this operation, Konjiede sent a message to these Allied representatives.
On the Sino-Japanese battlefield, the Eighth Route Army was the mainstay of the anti-Japanese forces.
Then, if you want to rely on the Chinese army to contain the Japanese army, so as to reduce the pressure on the battlefield for all of you, then you have to cooperate with our Eighth Route Army.
The other side.
Accompanied by Shi Dahu, Kong Jie checked the camouflage equipment and corresponding situation built inside Licheng in advance.
The two were walking, and suddenly a big black shadow moved slowly by, Kong Jie looked up, there was a big iron shelf, and there was a simple laying track below, one end of the shelf was tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope was pulled by soldiers dozens of meters away.
So the whole iron frame moved on the track, and when I looked at it from a distance, I really thought it was a self-propelled gun for air defense!
Shi Dahu introduced on the side: "Regiment commander, this is a camouflage air defense combat vehicle specially made by us, and it even makes it have a certain degree of mobility, or it will always stop in place and not move, and the devil can see at a glance that it is fake."
We have put a lot of such fake anti-aircraft guns in various air defense positions in Licheng, and after the battle starts, they will keep moving, and the devil's high-altitude reconnaissance will definitely not be able to tell the truth from the fake! â
Kong Jie nodded, Shi Dahu, this kid is indeed a talent, and this mobile fake anti-aircraft cannon is a bit like a camera that uses orbit to move when making movies in later generations.
It's kind of interesting!
Maybe after the battle is over, this kid will still be a talent for making movies!
Then there are the scarecrows in the clothes of the common people everywhere, which are also used to fool the little devils.
In fact, at this moment, Licheng, including the people in the surrounding cities such as Xiangyuan, Liaoxian, and Shexian County, has long been transferred, except for the soldiers who are still active in the city, they are completely empty cities.
After checking the camouflage deployment in the city, Kong Jie rushed to the artillery group headquarters where Li Yunlong was sitting.
When Li Yunlong saw Kong Jie coming, he hurriedly pulled Kong Jie over, and said on the map in front of him: "Old Kong, you came just in time, I was thinking about the plan for this air combat just now!"
You see, once this devil's flight unit launches an air attack, let's first use 105 mm and 88 mm long-range air defense guns to disperse the devil's large formation, and after the devil's plane group is dispersed, then use the artillery of the various air defense positions we have deployed to break the devil's planes one by one. â
Kong Jie said: "It's a little interesting, this seems to be back to the division and outflanking tactics that our Eighth Route Army is best at." â
Li Yunlong said happily: "Haha, that's what I meant!" As the old saying goes, everything never changes! Let's Lao Li said that this air combat actually has a lot in common with infantry combat. â
The two old comrades-in-arms once again delved into the plan for specific air operations......
