Chapter 918: Deployment Complete

The troops of Taihang Mountain began to take the train north into the Great Xing'an Mountains according to the order! The Great Khing'an Mountains are a natural barrier separating the vast black soil of the northeast from the Mongolian steppes, and since the Japanese army lost control in the Chahar region, the entire Great Khing'an Mountains has become the dividing line between the national control area and the enemy-occupied area.

Even if the Japanese army wants to enter the Chahar and Suiyuan areas, it will have to cross the Daxing'an Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles, and under the current situation that the Chinese army is dominant, it is a very big problem for the Japanese army to cross the Daxing'an Mountains to fight! Moreover, there are vast primeval forests in the Great Khingan Mountains, which is not conducive to the actions of the Japanese mechanized troops!

For the Japanese army from the regular army, the Great Khinganling is a difficult problem! But for the Taihang Mountain troops who were born in the wild road, the Great Xing'an Mountains are their natural shelter, they can attack and retreat, and for the Taihang Mountains in the northeast, this is the best foothold, although there is a lack of resources, but the Suiyuan area and the Taihang Mountains can provide a steady stream of materials to transport in!

After all, the current China is no longer the China of the past, and now there are railways and roads in various defense areas, trucks and trains can run unimpeded, and there are tens of millions of people who provide help free of charge, so there is no need to worry about logistics problems at all!

On the contrary, as long as the troops of Taihang Mountain gain a foothold in the Great Xing'an Mountains, it should be the little devils who should be worried!

The troops entered Taiyuan one after another, and then left by train, and the railways and highways were busy day and night! Troops are guarding all the main transportation routes to ensure that their troops and supplies can reach the designated place safely!

Fu Yisheng also tried his best to help the troops in Taihang Mountain passing through their defense area, although the Seventh Army had little contact with the Japanese army, but their troops still guarded the country, and the areas controlled by the Soviet Union to the north and west were all under the control of the Soviet Union, although there was no Soviet army, but they did have the right to control these places!

Although the Seventh Army did not have much contact with the Japanese army, they still played an important role! Similarly, when Taihang Mountain arranged for the troops to march into the Northeast, their trucks and trains were also helping Taihang Mountain transfer materials as much as possible, and even arranged for the troops to maintain order and ensure that the troops and materials passed first!

For the Seventh Army, although this seems to be a gesture, you must know that this is not to provide supplies for a regiment or a division, but to provide supplies for nearly half a million combat troops, and this is not something that can be sent out by trucks!

And it is also under a lot of pressure for Fu Yisheng, after all, Chongqing and Taihang Mountain do not deal with each other, and while helping Liao Fan, they have to bear the pressure from Chongqing! Fortunately, they belonged to the original Jin Sui Army, and after the Jin Sui Army withdrew from the historical stage, the Seventh Group lost its direct superiors, and their overall decision-making power was in Chongqing, but Chongqing was really too far away from them.

It is precisely because it is too far away from Chongqing that Fu Yisheng dares to provide so much help to Taihang Mountain so boldly!

As the troops entered Taiyuan one after another, and then left Taiyuan by train, the scouts of the little devils reported the movement of Chinese troops in Hebei to Okamura Ningji over and over again!

"No, they still have two legions of troops in Taihang Mountain, wait, wait, you must calm down at this time! Taihang Mountain will definitely send troops! ”

Okamura Ning persuaded himself over and over again that he must stabilize at this time, the more troops Taihang Mountain withdraws, the more beneficial it will be to them!

"Your Excellency Commander, all our troops are ready, as long as you give the order, all our troops will go all out!"

"We're not just going to give it our all, we're going to make it! Our Great Japanese Empire has reached a situation where it will not die with Taihang Mountain! "Okamura Ninji knows that if Taihang Mountain is not wiped out, Taihang Mountain will definitely kill them! This is why he would take such a big risk to fight with Taihang Mountain!

"Your Excellency, Commander, when are we going to act?"

"Wait, order our intelligence officers and reconnaissance personnel to make every effort to collect intelligence on the Chinese troops in the Hebei area, and make sure that they have withdrawn from the defense area!"

Okamura Ningji was also very careful, he was worried that Liao Fan was setting up a maze array for him, and he wanted to make sure that there were indeed not many Chinese troops in Hebei, so that he could order the troops to leave Pingjin and attack the defense area of Taihang Mountain.

When the troops were transferred, Liao Fan was also paying attention to the situation in the Pingjin area at all times, and the intelligence officers of Taihang Mountain also sent the intelligence of the Japanese army to Liao Fan's headquarters! Liao Fan can be sure that the Japanese army is indeed gathering, but Liao Fan is still not sure what the bottom line of Okamura Ningji is to send troops!

"Brother Fan, the armored troops have already gone to Taiyuan, did you order Commander Cun to evacuate as well?" Li Lingfei asked Liao Fan's opinion!

"How's the little devil doing? Still no movement? Liao Fan asked.

"Yes, the Japanese army is just assembling and standby, and has no intention of leaving the Pingjin area! I guess we still have too many troops! Okamura Ninji is not sure enough to eat us! ”

"Let Cunqi evacuate with his troops, regardless of whether Okamura Ningji acts or not, they must board the train and enter the Suiyuan area tonight! At the same time, let Li Weimin start to deploy defense, Baoding can let it, but Taihang Mountain can't let it! ”

Regardless of whether Okamura Ningji is hooked or not, leaving a group army is already Liao Fan's bottom line, if Okamura Ningji doesn't take the bait, Liao Fan no longer intends to give in, or directly withdraw all their troops!

Both sides are engaged in a psychological game, because waiting is the most difficult moment, Okamura Ningji is waiting for the troops of Taihang Mountain to leave, and Liao Fan is waiting for the little devil to leave the Pingjin area!

In fact, the most difficult person at this time should be Li Weimin, after Cun Qi withdrew from the defense area with his troops, there was only one team left in Hebei east of Taihang Mountain! Before all the reinforcements arrived, they had to stop the attack of the Japanese army of more than 500,000 troops alone.

"Brother Fan, tell me, we can evacuate Baoding, as long as we don't let the little devils attack Taihang Mountain! But I tell you today, we will Baoding! No matter how many little devils come, we will never let the little devils pass through Baoding! As long as we hold on to Baoding for a day, the troops will arrive at the battlefield one after another, and then it will be time for us to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army! So until then, we're going to fight alone, without anything to rely on! ”

Li Weimin announced his plan in front of the officers under him, the troops in his hands are limited, and it is indeed a lot of pressure to fight against the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops alone! But he still kept his troops holding out!

Qingyuan in the southeast of Baoding is a very important county, if Baoding loses Qingyuan, it can completely block the Japanese army in Baoding, if Qingyuan is lost, Baoding will inevitably be surrounded!

"Baoding will be a young child, and Qingyuan is the focus of our competition with the Japanese army, so I will not put all my troops in Baoding, but the troops left in Baoding must be prepared for the danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army!"

Although Baoding is an important city, Qingyuan is the barrier of the entire Baoding, and if something happens to Qingyuan, Baoding will inevitably be surrounded! In the end, Li Weimin decided to arrange two divisions to defend Baoding, and the troops of the two divisions to defend Qingyuan, and Qingyuan and Baoding could echo each other from afar!

As for the rest of the troops, they were all placed in Xushui City on the front of Baoding and Mancheng on the side, but Li Weimin did not plan to defend Xushui, because Xushui was located around the plain, and there was no danger to defend at all! But in other places, they have to symbolically resist, otherwise the little devil will definitely be able to see through their plan, so Xu Shui is a place to act for the little devil!

And the firepower supported by the artillery division was arranged on the hill northwest of Mancheng, because it was occupied here, and the firepower of the large-caliber * guns just covered the perimeter of Baoding! In order to prevent the Japanese army from dividing their troops to attack their artillery division, Li Weimin arranged for the troops in Mancheng to divide their troops to establish a defensive line around the artillery division!

Li Weimin originally wanted to set up his headquarters in Baoding, and he wanted to live and die with Baoding, but the army commanders under him were all hairy, and said that they wanted to call Liao Fan, and Li Weimin had no choice, so he had to obediently set up the headquarters in Wangdu! Wangdu is only one step away from Baoding and Qingyuan, and it will take less than half an hour to arrive if you drive! Although it is not the front line, it is no different from the front line, because once the Japanese army breaks through Baoding and Qingyuan, there is no place to defend it!

"It's useless for you to call Brother Fan! I tell you, if Baoding is lost, I will die in Wangdu! ”

Although the army commander under Li Weimin did not agree with Li Weimin's setting up the headquarters in Wangdu, this time Li Weimin was really completely iron-hearted, and he would not take a step back! There will be no idea of stealing life, the soldiers will die, they do not have an advantage in the army, if you want to hold Baoding, in addition to using your brains, you can only let the soldiers fight with their lives!

If you want to save Beiping City from war, you must pay some price, if you want to empty gloves white wolf, where will there be so many good things waiting for you.

With all the troops withdrawing, Li Weimin can be said to be able to do whatever he wants, but in order to do whatever he wants, he can't wait to use the troops in his hands as two! In every place defended by the division, Li Weimin had to go through it in person to be able to defend the line!

"Our armored division and guard regiment are reserve forces, as long as there are loopholes in the Japanese army on the battlefield, you will go up and take a bite, as many as you can!"

This battle is not a battle to take advantage of at all, but Li Weimin is by no means too comfortable not to let the little devil attack, even if there is a little loophole, Li Weimin will make the little devil feel distressed for a while!

All the plans have been deployed, and the rest depends on whether Okamura Ninji will give them a face, and whether he will deliver a big gift to them!
