1037 We are just militia

In Lao Cheng's words: "Although this time our joint detachment is disguised as the Iron Triangle Group Army, but now, our troops are strong and well-equipped, just to pull him Li Yunlong's Iron Triangle elite over, I don't think we are inferior to them!" ”

Anyway, you don't have to pay taxes to brag, you can blow it casually.

In fact, Lao Wang, Lao Chen, and Lao Xu's joint group army, which has been strengthened by special equipment, is slightly inferior in terms of equipment level compared to the elite of the Iron Triangle Steel Helmet of the first gear, which is the most well-equipped of the Eighth Route Army.

But compared to the other units of the Eighth Route Army, it can be described as excellent.

Including the elite of the 120th Division, 129th Division, 115th Division, and 101st Division after the reorganization.

It's no wonder that Lao Cheng and the three of them are so high-spirited.

However, when the Eighth Route Army was reorganized from the Red Army to the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, it was initially given only three divisions, namely the 120th Division, the 129th Division, and the 115th Division.

Where did this integrated 101st Division come from?

This is to talk about the 35th Route Army of the former National Revolutionary Army led by Commander Fu, who was active in the Mengxi area.

A few years ago, since Punch Kong Jie acted as an intermediary to build bridges, Commander Fu gradually expressed his tendency to move closer to the Eighth Route Army.

At the beginning, he also made some disguises, and even deliberately played a few big scenes with the Eighth Route Army to create some friction, so as to make the outside world believe that the 35th Route Army and the Eighth Route Army were not dealing with each other.

But to the current situation, in Commander Fu's words, he is simply too lazy to pretend.

In particular, after the Eighth Route Army dispatched its aviation units to successfully carry out an air raid on the mainland of Xiaori, it can be said that all countries in the world were shaken by this.

Commander Fu also fully realized that following the footsteps of the Eighth Route Army was an incomparably correct path.

In the end, the team was privately reorganized, and with the assistance of the Eighth Route Army, the 35th Route Army was officially reorganized into the 101st Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, it still claims to be the 35th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

…… Lao Wang, Lao Xu, Lao Cheng, including Lao Pi and Brigade Commander Zhang's mobile troops, a total of five refitting detachments.

This time, the firepower allocation and equipment level have been specially strengthened, in order to defeat the so-called jihadist army raised by the devil.

What is this jihadist army, known as the elite of the Japanese army.

The mobile unit of the Iron Triangle Group Army is absolutely elite.

This time, the elite showdown between the two sides.

A big battle with the limelight.

It is also a contest between the top combat forces of the Japanese side and the Eighth Route Army, and this is the current situation in the investigation of various forces and allied countries.

As for the Eighth Route Army, in addition to using the mobile elite composed of the five detachments of Lao Wang, Lao Xu, and Lao Chen.

It also includes Fang Zishan's troops all the way.

This Fang Zishan was naturally the fierce general who led the 10th Army of the National Revolutionary Army to fight in Hengyang City at that time, stubbornly blocking the Japanese army for 47 days and eliminating more than 20,000 Japanese troops, but he could not let the Japanese army cross Hengyang City half a step.

After Fang Zishan was rescued by Kong Jie's commando team.

He was temporarily arranged by Kong Jie in the base area as a cadre of the Eighth Route Army and a teacher of the teaching class.

Originally, it was also out of respect for the generals of the anti-Japanese army, if this Fang Zishan was really unwilling to stay in the Eighth Road, after the rumors passed, the Eighth Road would not stop him.

However, the committee member is too large, and he feels that he has a lot of talents under his command, and it is not a big deal to have such a fierce general Fang Zishan who defends the city.

After a telegram angrily denounced, the tiger general was forcibly turned away.

The Eighth Route Army naturally would not waste such a general.

As a result, some of Fang Zishan's old troops rescued by the Eighth Route Army, as well as the Taishan detachment composed of prisoners of war of the Central Army rescued by the New Fourth Army, also landed in Jiaodong.

In line with the principle of employing people without suspicion, the Eighth Route Army directly handed over this unit to Fang Zishan's command.

At this point, Fang Zishan did not expect to return to the National Revolutionary Army and served the principal again, so he integrated the troops and vowed to lead the team to defeat the Japanese invaders and completely wash away the shame of the loss of Hengyang City.

In addition, in order to deal with the mobile troops of the devils, there are particularly elite armored troops among the mobile units of the Eighth Route Army.

This time, the armored units were drawn from some independent assault gun battalions and anti-tank destroyer battalions from major military regions.

Fighting defensive battles, these equipment are easy to use.

There are also quite a few separate self-propelled howitzer battalions of 76, 105, 150 calibers, as well as 107, 120, 160 self-propelled mortar battalions.

The tank troops are mainly the 97 reform modified in the Jiaodong area and the one-type mid-combat reform left by Ding Wei at the beginning, as well as the three-type mid-battle reform.

Originally, according to the original plan, it was also planned to reinforce part of the most powerful Type 42 tanks.

It's just that this Type 42 tank is too recognizable, and it is easy to be detected by the Japanese army when it is transferred over long distances, so this plan was finally abandoned for the sake of insurance.

In addition, a rather unexpected reinforcement force, the Anglo-American assault group from the Allies, also applied to join the war, and they reinforced several howitzer battalions and more mobile M36 tank destroyers to help.

The British and American troops were expanded into a reinforced regiment, and the British Captain Spring and the American veteran were promoted to major generals, respectively, claiming to assault the group.

As for the reason!

It was really a very good documentary of the Eighth Route Army, which aroused enthusiastic responses in the Allied countries, not only boosting morale, encouraging more people to join the army and join the large-scale production movement, but also giving a good start to the battlefield counterattack that the countries were preparing to carry out.

Not only that, but realizing the strong combat power and clever tactics of the Eighth Route Army, the reinforcements sent troops to participate in the war this time also wanted to truly feel the wisdom of the tactics of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army, and to learn and exchange.

It is used to better deal with enemies on the battlefield at home.

For this reason, Britain and the United States and other countries have also increased their assistance to the Eighth Route Army, and the US military even sent two battalions of the Sherman reinforced M4A3E2 experimental version equipped with 76-mm tank guns to participate in the battle.

The British also sent two battalions of Cromwell tanks armed with 76-mm anti-tank guns.

They had already discovered this rule, and instead of spending equipment and materials on their own troops to deal with the Japanese army, it was better to spend some assistance to let the Eighth Route Army contain more Japanese troops, which seemed to have a better effect.

As for the Central Army, let alone continue to increase aid, it is good if it does not withdraw.

After so many years, I don't know how much aid has been wasted.

Just retreating again and again, counting on the early end of the European theater and the Allied countries turning around to help other armies.

Under the general trend.

The Soviet army, which did not want to fight on two fronts, and signed a Soviet-Japanese neutrality treaty with the Japanese side in order to temporarily stabilize the Japanese army, could not stand it.

If the Eighth Route Army and Britain and the United States completely defeat the Japanese invaders, the Soviet side, which did not participate in it, may not be able to divide the slightest benefit.

As a result, even the Soviet side gradually gave up its neutral position with the devils, began to increase assistance to the Eighth Route Army, and specially sent Soviet commandos to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to participate in the war against Japan.

In particular, the Allied countries stated:

As long as the Eighth Route Army can withstand the revenge of the devils, completely open up the situation in Jiaodong, build a solid base, and keep the front airport that can be used as a springboard to strike at the mainland at any time.

Countries can even step up their assistance in the future.

…… As soon as the reinforcements from all walks of life received the order to evacuate, they immediately operated under the propaganda of defending Jiaodong, dispatched trucks to reinforce those who were close, and directly airlifted those who were far away, arrived in batches before the devils assembled, and then began to familiarize themselves with the fortification defense area, demarcate the firing boundary, replenish combat materials, and rest and wait for the devils to take the bait.

Two American-made heavy artillery brigades, two Soviet-made heavy artillery brigades, three Japanese-made heavy artillery brigades, as well as the mobile artillery detachment of the Shandong Military Region, and the Jiaodong Coastal Defense Heavy Artillery Regiment (which Ding Wei moved back from Qingdao) all began to secretly stationed in the Haiyang area, preparing to give the devils a head-on attack.

"We have several 105-mm Type 43 cannon groups and 155-mm Type 43 howitzer groups all airlifted over, and I am reluctant to let the children catch the wolf, this capital has to be enough!"

Although he could not personally participate in this battle, Kong Jie waved his hand and directly supported the Jiaodong Military Region with heavy artillery, in Kong Jie's words:

"Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the little devils have bullied us for so many years, just by virtue of some equipment advantages, this time let them taste the taste of the steel torrent, and taste the despair of being completely crushed in equipment!"

It is destined to be a high-profile shocking battle!

It finally officially started in the early morning of the 13th.

As soon as the battle broke out, it quickly entered the white heat, and time passed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it came to about the 20th.

In the headquarters of the Special Experimental Zone of the Eighth Route Army.

The Jiaodong area is fighting fiercely around Haiyang, and Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, who regret not being able to participate in the war, are also very busy around the military simulation sand table in the headquarters.

After the battle broke out, the three of them could not see what the situation was.

But the battle reports from the front line came out one after another.

On the morning of the 13th, the battle report from the Jiaodong area came:

"The two armies of the Japanese army advanced from the direction of Jinan and Weihai respectively, and advanced to the Haiyang area, and officially engaged with the blocking forces in the Jiaodong area!"

When analyzing the battle situation, Ding Wei pointed out sharply: "Judging from the specific situation, the two armies led by the devils seem to be huge, strong and strong, but they are somewhat tentative of the truth, and they don't see the most elite bullshit army and armored troops of the devils at all."

It seems that Okamura, the old devil, was also on guard, and he didn't dare to rush in the main mobile force! ”

Kong Jie said: "But the little devil is too underestimated of us, we started from the bombardment of the local area this time, in order to set up this bureau in the Jiaodong area."

If the main mobile force of the devil does not appear, how can we use it at will if we have laid a net? ”

And that's exactly what happened.

Commander Xu and his entourage, who commanded in the Jiaodong area, were also immediately aware of the Japanese army's tentative intentions, and in the face of the advance of the Japanese army on both routes, they only fought with conventional blocking forces, and did not expose too much firepower deployed in advance.

After the battle between the two sides gradually became anxious.

Okamura, an old devil, finally lost his patience, and advanced at the same time with the 13th Division of the 13th Division, which was moving north from Qingdao, and took the opportunity to launch a pincer offensive, preparing to eat the troops of the Eighth Route Army blocking in the direction of Jinan and Weihai.

...... "Haha, this old boy in Okamura can't sit still, the little devil has finally been fooled!"

After the main force of our Jiaodong entered the Haiyang area in Qingdao, we took the opportunity to launch a firepower attack and outflanking, and all the main forces of the Devil Holy War Army, the Armored Army and the 13th Division that launched a pincer offensive were loaded into it.

A fierce offensive was launched on all fronts, with the cooperation of heavy artillery, rocket artillery and assault guns, as well as anti-tank destroyer units!

The little devil was caught off guard, and the main force of Qingdao going north was constantly compressed, and a few days ago he had begun to ask for reinforcements in a panic.

It's a pity that the 40th Division and the 5th Mixed Brigade stationed in Qingdao are simply two cowards, and our battle is so frightened that we don't dare to go to reinforcements! ”

Li Yunlong, who learned about the battle situation on the front line, said happily, his eyes lit up, as if the battle was personally commanded by him.

Ding Wei also added on the side: "This is not the end, the 12th Division from the direction of Weihai has directly fallen into the vast sea of our full combat.

Everywhere there were minefields, everywhere there were groups of tunnel composite fortifications that were in high formation, halfway through, unable to advance or retreat, besieged on both sides of the road.

As a result, the three-way army failed to converge smoothly, and the pressure was all piled on the Japanese troops of Qingdao and Jinan, and I heard that Okamura's old devil's nose was almost crooked! ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "The terrain in Jiaodong is complicated, once the devils are compressed, it will be difficult to launch a large-scale offensive, and the space is too small."

Taking the initiative to retreat means that there is no doubt about defeat, if Okamura, an old devil, is still dreaming of Yu Xianggui's successive victories, this time it is destined to be a failure! ”

……

As soon as the battle in the Jiaodong area broke out, the Japanese army's third-route troops fully realized the difficulty of the Eighth Route Army.

The 12th and 25th Divisions of the Japanese Army, which came from the direction of Weihai, led two Korean puppet army mixed brigades and advanced to the Haiyang area.

I was only halfway there, and suddenly there were all minefields, water sources, roads, and crops were all mines, and the back roads were cut off directly.

This time, in order to leave a nightmare lesson for the little devils in the Jiaodong area, under the mobilization of Commander Xu, all the people in the base area participated in the battle.

It was really a battle in which all the people were soldiers.

The main forces of the various army divisions and militia guerrillas of the Jiaodong Military Region all went into battle.

The Workers' Regiment, including the local people, is fully operational, and with the help of building a complete transportation system, it can ensure the logistics supply of front-line combat troops.

The besieging forces were supported by a large number of mountain artillery, anti-tank guns, large-caliber mortars, and light self-propelled artillery, forming a dense encirclement, as well as superior air support.

The battle started, not to mention the little devils dumbfounded.

The comrades of the participating troops in the Jiaodong area, which were newly equipped, were also dreaming.

When have you ever fought such a battle?

The major fraternal military regions supported a large number of artillery shells of various calibers, and they beckoned to the heads of the devils, and the Kwantung Army, which was caught in the sea of guns and cannons, struggled as if it was completely mired in a quagmire.

Even the militia guerrillas have been transformed into mobile elites.

Fighters drove motorcycles, or pickup trucks, with gas canisters, flying thunder cannons, light rocket launchers, and revolverant grenade launchers, constantly launching an offensive against the devils in the encirclement, tossing the little devils back and forth.

The militia captain driving the wheel grenade launcher spoke: "Little devils, we are the Jiaodong militia, come to grandpa to die!" ”

On the same day, the headquarters of the Devil's Chinese Army received news that the Eighth Road, which caused the imperial army to lose troops on the outside line, was actually just the Jiaodong militia!

The devil officers were completely stunned.

Nani? This can also be considered a militia?

Dwarfed by this, they suddenly felt that even the elite of the Imperial Army had become bullshit......
