In the final battle around the Jiaodong area, both the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army invested large-scale troops, and in the end it was not just a confrontation around the front airport.

As the Eighth Route Army preached to the outside world: it can be called the Battle of Jiaodong initiated and led by the Eighth Route Army.

The final victor: the Eighth Route Army.

The side that lost fiasco: the Japanese invaders sent troops to China.

The little devil paid a heavy price in this battle, the three-way army was almost completely annihilated by the two-way, after the fiasco of the battle of northern Henan, the Japanese army was originally left with only a few, the so-called holy war army and armored troops mainly mobile elite, in this battle almost all of them were lost in the sand.

The operation carried out by the Eighth Route Army around the Jiaodong area can be said to have completely achieved the expected goal, gathering and annihilating the remaining mobile elites of the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

When the dust settled on the final battle situation, in the post-war military conference held by the former enemy's general headquarters, even the deputy commander-in-chief couldn't help but speak in excitement:

"Okay, this battle was fought beautifully, and it completely played the prestige of our Eighth Route Army, and showed the determination and strength of our Chinese soldiers to fight the Japanese invaders!"

"More importantly, after this battle, the entire North China, including Central and South China, the mobile elite that the Japanese army relied on the most, was basically lost.

The Japanese army, which was already overstretched and its elite had been lost, how could he control such a vast occupied area? ”

This can't help but make everyone think of the initiator of all this - Kong Jie, who seems to be real, with a bright smile on his face, sitting in the corner of the conference room, and not speaking much, looking quite humble.

Starting from the use of the Jiaodong Military Region's former departure from the airport, planning the night rain surprise attack on the mainland.

to successfully lure the Japanese army to gather the remnants of the mobile elite, like moths to the fire, straight to Jiaodong.

Then, under the final multi-party alliance, the two armies of the Japanese army were annihilated in one fell swoop, and the remnants of the Japanese army's mobile elite main force were successfully destroyed.

This series of plans is one ring after another, not to mention the old devil Okamura Ningji who was kept in the dark, even if he witnessed and participated in this series of plans, the generals of the Eighth Route Army present couldn't help but sigh.

Lao Kong's whole set of serial calculations, who can bear it?

When the deputy commander-in-chief smiled and asked Kong Jie to speak.

Kong Jie was still having a headache with the previous problem: "Comrades, let's completely relax our vigilance now, if we are happy, I'm afraid it's still too early."

If you really want to say that I am using a serial plan, it can only be said that so far it is only the second link of our serial plan, and it is only the main force of the remnants of the mobile elite of the Chinese dispatch army.

After this battle, although the Japanese army was wounded, the main force was basically still there, and even the most embarrassed North China Front Army that we beat could still firmly control some major county towns and communication lines.

We have not yet completely launched a full-scale counteroffensive on the battlefield behind enemy lines.

It is not yet known when the specific strategic counteroffensive phase will be fully opened.

The difficulties in front of our Eighth Route Army troops, the difficulties that we need to overcome, are still one after another! ”

Speaking of which, Kong Jie once again emphasized the idea that he has always adhered to:

"With the development of our base area and the growth of our troops, as I said before, our ultimate goal is not to finally drag down the Japanese army in this protracted war of attrition.

Such a tragic victory is not what we want to see, we must not only win this just war against aggression, but also win this war beautifully!

Therefore, what we have to do is to completely defeat the Japanese invaders with absolute superiority, even with a devastating counteroffensive, and completely defeat the Japanese invaders militarily and even politically and in terms of international image.

Even let the whole world admit that the little devil is a complete loser!

Let these bitches have sinful little devils on their hands, and even escape back from our Chinese soil in embarrassment!

And in order to do all this, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and we need to work harder! ”

The deputy chief of the general staff said with a smile: "What Kong Jie said is very reasonable, comrades should learn from Comrade Kong Jie, not be arrogant, not discouraged, not impetuous, no matter what kind of battle they win, they should be prepared for danger in times of peace, this is the attitude and quality that an excellent military commander should have." ”

Speaking of this, the deputy chief of the general staff asked again: "Kong Jie, you still have a headache How to hide the reconnaissance of the Japanese army, carry out the fourth step of the plan, and advance to the Kwantung region?" ”

"yes!" Kong Jie nodded: "Although we have successfully defeated the remnants of the devil's mobile elite in the Jiaodong region, the devil just has no mobile troops that can be quickly reinforced, and he has not become deaf and blind."

Although the Jiaodong base area and the front exit airport of the Jiaodong Military Region have been temporarily saved, they will definitely usher in more crazy retaliation and strikes by the Japanese army in the future.

And once the Japanese army continues to draw troops from Central China, South China, and even the Kwantung Army, or even the mainland, to North China, the situation created by our Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines in North China will soon usher in new pressure.

If we do not find a way to open up more battlefields and fundamentally and completely reverse the tide of the Sino-Japanese confrontation, the initiative that we have won so hard will sooner or later turn passive again.

Therefore, I think that the plan to move closer to Kanto cannot be delayed any longer! ”

"Kong Jie, tell me what you think!" The Deputy Chief of the General Staff asked intently.

Today, Kong Jie is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past.

The suggestions he put forward, let alone the deputy chief of staff and the deputy commander-in-chief, even the Yan'an headquarters may focus on it.

The independent regiment went to the first independent detachment in the northwest of Shanxi, and then to the current development of the Special Experimental Military Region.

And the victory of one battle after another, directly or indirectly, with the Iron Triangle and with Kong Jie, all prove this.

In response to the inquiry of the deputy chief of general staff, the quiet conference room, and the eyes that quickly converged on him, Kong Jie thought for a moment and slowly spoke:

"Comrades, let me start with the aspect of troop integration and coordination!"

"A few years ago, due to the severity of the situation of the Anti-Japanese War, our troops were divided into pieces under the blockade of the Japanese army, and it was even impossible to get timely contact with the local base areas for joint operations.

Basically, in the Japanese army's operations, it can be said that they fought alone.

But the situation is different now, with the growth of our troops, the base areas have been quickly opened up and completely connected.

At this point, the main theme of the war is no longer the fragmented battle in which each small unit fought alone in our various base areas.

Rather, it is a joint operation between multiple base areas and multiple units on a large scale at every turn, and they will jointly fight the enemy.

This involves the issue of the reorganization and merger of the troops, and the question of whether or not the troops can coordinate with each other tacitly and give full play to their common combat capability.

For example, everyone says that our Iron Triangle Army is the elite of our Eighth Route Army.

However, due to the needs of the war, it is necessary for our Iron Triangle Army to fight together with a main force in the base area that has never even been in contact with it before.

Can the two sides cooperate tacitly and give full play to the strengths of both sides, so that the combined units can exert their stronger combat strength?

This includes the combination of the main forces and the local armies, the combination of the main forces of different military regions and different military regions, and even the coordinated operations between various arms of the armed forces.

If we want to thoroughly train these tacit understandings, we need to run in with each other, which takes time, actual exercises and training, and even coordination on the battlefield. ”

"Kong Jie, so what do you mean?"

Kong Jie said: "Deputy General Staff, once our army smoothly takes the fourth step according to the plan, with the elite of our Iron Triangle Group Army as the mainstay, it will take the lead in tearing the opening and advancing into the Kwantung region."

If you want to defeat the behemoth of the Kwantung Army, it is definitely not enough to fight a small battle, and it is definitely not realistic to rely on such a team as our Iron Triangle Army.

The coordinated operations of various arms of the armed forces, and the large-scale battles launched by the various units after they are combined, can be solved not only by unified command, abundant logistics, and perfect campaign and tactical plans.

Fundamentally speaking, it is necessary to solve the problem of running in the troops.

Just like Chiang's troops, in many battles, the reasons for their failures were attributed, the command was chaotic, the campaign tactics were improperly applied, and the equipment was too poor and uneven, and these were only one of the reasons after all.

Another objective reason for the existence of the objective exists, I think, is that different units and different arms of the army have not experienced running-in and training between different arms and arms, and have not been able to achieve effective coordinated operations.

Some generals agreed: "Yes, what Lao Kong said is indeed a big problem, between these different troops, the original fighting style is different, the personalities of the commanders of the two sides and the tactics they are good at using are also different, the two troops are bold to combine, sometimes it is really not as happy as the battle of one army!"

It's like our Eighth Route Army fighting devils at home, so I don't have to say it, but if we are really allowed to fight devils in conjunction with the national army, I'm afraid our soldiers won't be able to let go of their hands and feet, but will have to tie their hands and tails! ”

Kong Jie said helplessly: "But this involves a difficult problem, the run-in movement of large-scale troops is definitely not small, and the training of all kinds of troops, including armored troops, mechanized combat units, and even aviation units, is also extremely picky about the requirements of the terrain."

Judging from the current situation in our base areas, the most suitable area for this kind of large-scale multi-arms and multi-unit run-in training is probably the area around Mengxi in northern Shanxi.

But it also involves a large-scale build-up of troops, and it is impossible for the Japanese army not to detect the movement, once the Japanese army perceives the intention of our army to advance to the Kwantung region, and the Kwantung Army is on guard, it will be troublesome for our plan to be implemented again! ”

The generals were all deep in thought, thinking hard, but they had no clue after all.

This problem can only be put on hold for the time being, waiting for the follow-up solution.

After the end of the Great War.

The commanders of the various military regions rushed to Licheng for a meeting, and now that the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are sufficient, there is no need to place the meeting held by the headquarters in a remote mountain.

is above board, and the headquarters meeting is directly set up in Licheng.

Now that he has made up his mind to be a shrunken turtle, he doesn't even dare to send scouts!

Commanders from all walks of life came from Shandong, Shanxi, Mengxi, and Hebei, and all of them said that they had performed the best this year and that their troops had won the most battles.

On the battlefield behind enemy lines, with the end of the Battle of Jiaodong, military operations in all aspects have been launched one after another.

The devil's communication lines in Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong, the blockade line was handed over to the local troops and militia, and these teams took turns to toss and turn, so that the devils could not even sleep.

It's even 365 days a year.

I'm mad at the devils!

When the main force of the Eighth Route Army was there, it was also when a large-scale offensive was launched, and the local army's offensive, which did not even have an interval between them, turned the devil's security army into a sick cat army.

Anyway, with the battle of Jiaodong, the devil's mobile elite was lost.

There is also the support and deterrence of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Even if the local troops and militia units took the opportunity to launch some sabotage attacks on the devil's communication lines, the Japanese army did not have emergency mobile troops to quickly rush to reinforcements.

Afraid of retaliation and attack by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, how dare the devil leave the main county seat at will?

The poor little devil finally fell into decline, and could only wait for the local Eighth Route Army and militia to finish the raid, and then pretended to hurry over and spend manpower and financial resources to repair those communication lines again.

Among them, the situation in North China is the worst, especially in Shanxi, which is simply so bad that it cannot be worse.

The little devil hid in the last county town, almost isolated from the world, under the blockade of the Eighth Road, the city almost became an isolated city, and after a long time, even the logistics of the inner team in the city had a big problem.

The commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, Yoshimoto Sadachi, complained bitterly.

Okabe, commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Front, frequently complained to the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army in Nanjing, asking for reinforcements.

The old devil swore again and again that what he said was not alarmist:

"If there are no reinforcements from the North China side, it will be difficult to support even the current situation, I am afraid that it will collapse completely, and even Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the First Army, and Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front, may be completely occupied by the Eighth Route Army!"

So all the pressure on the face was exerted on the old devil Okamura.

Okamura is helpless, today's troops are like a broken wall full of holes, and all he can do is to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall.

finally won some battles in the southern region, but when I turned my head and looked, the rear of North China was stunned and was tossed by the Eighth Road.

It's really that the mud can't support the wall, who can understand the helplessness and sadness of him, a general who is trying to turn the tide?

It's a mess right now!

Don't say it's him Okamura, no matter who it is, it's the gods who descend to earth, once they accept this mess, I'm afraid they will be powerless, and in the end they will have to end up with a reputation that causes the Chinese dispatch army to be completely rotten!

This old devil suddenly wanted to scold people, and the first to scold was Junroku Hatata.

Didn't you dig a big pit and bury him alive?
