Chapter 786: The New Commander's Revenge (2)
In accordance with the spirit of the instructions of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region soon entered the second stage of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, and its main task was to attack the highways and strongholds in the territory and extension of the source and Lingqiu, and to conquer the two strategically important county towns of the source and Lingqiu.
The strategic position of these two county towns is very important, located at the junction of the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, the key point between the inner and outer city walls, and penetrates deep into the northwest of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region, which is an important area for infantry defense and attack, and the competition between the enemy and us is very fierce.
Since the Yang Department of the First Army Division, in the Battle of Loess Ridge, shelled the enemy's command post and killed Lieutenant General Abe Norihide, the commander of the Second Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, the small country of Dongwa was in an uproar, and everyone in the army sighed that the "flower of famous generals" had withered, and the shock was great, and the new commander saw Lieutenant General Norichi and vowed to avenge Abe Norihide.
At the military meeting, Lieutenant General Renjian and the First Lieutenant General ordered the Japanese Army to go deep into the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and build a number of strongholds of different sizes and troop deployments in more than 20 villages and towns around Laiyuan County and along the Wei (County) Xuanhua Highway, such as Jianjianling, Zhangjiayu, and Liujiazui, in a vain attempt to cut off the ties between the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.
The original garrison in Laiyuan and Lingqiu was more than 1,500 troops, including the 2nd Brigade and the 26th Division of the Japanese Army, as well as more than 1,000 troops of the two garrison regiments of the Imperial Association Army that cooperated with the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army.
At the beginning of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the panicked North China Command of the Japanese army immediately transferred the Mongolian army to quickly reinforce the strongholds around Laiyuan and Lingqiu, replenish the troops, replenish weapons and ammunition, and attempt to occupy this very important military point for a long time.
Laiyuan City increased its troops to more than 500 Japanese troops, more than 600 puppet troops, and increased to more than 100 soldiers to Shidongbao, Yangjiawa, Fangjiatang and other large strongholds.
The Japanese army quickly transferred its main forces to a military stronghold that it thought was very strong, and this provided a great opportunity for our Eighth Route Army to launch a general sabotage battle on Zhengtai Road and other major arteries.
Not only did the Jincha Japanese army increase its troops in Laiyuan, but the 26th Division, which lived far away in Datong, quickly dispatched troops in accordance with Shangfeng's order, and penetrated its claws deep into the Lingqiu and Guangling areas of our anti-Japanese base areas, strengthened the division and blockade of our anti-Japanese troops, and implemented the 'cage plan'.
According to the deployment of the Japanese army's troops, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army ordered the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to conquer the two county towns of Laiyuan and Lingqiu, and to clear the strongholds on the Weixuan Highway, open up the channels for the base areas to communicate with each other, and sabotage the Japanese army's vicious 'cage plan'.
Commander Nie ordered the Yang Division and the Deng Division of the First Army Division and the Fifth Army Division to take unified command of joint operations, and called Commander Yang of the First Army Division to once again fight with the old unit of Abe Guixiu, who had been killed, and beat the enemy to hurt and cripple the enemy, and the enemy commander who was beaten had a long memory.
The new commander of the second independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Laiyuan County, Renmi and the first lieutenant general, although he praised the former lieutenant general Abe Norihide, but in his bones he looked down on him, and a lieutenant general who was called the 'flower of famous generals' was killed by the Eighth Route Army, which was simply a shame for the whole country.
This ambitious, insidious and cunning guy has been trying every means to have a life-and-death contest with Commander Yang of the First Army Subdivision of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, who killed Abe Guixiu, and threatened to kill the commander of the Eighth Route Army who killed Lieutenant General Abe Guixiu.
Commander Yang, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, who killed the commander of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade and Brigade Commander Abe Norihide of the Japanese Army, was taking the initiative to come to the door at this time.
In the winter of last year, Commander Yang led the 1st, 25th, 3rd, and 2nd Regiments to launch an attack on the invading 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army at Zhaituo.
In the Loess Leng was again attacked by Commander Yang's troops, and the enemy who was beaten fled to the Hetao, while Abe Guixiu led the command organ and retreated to a small courtyard on the northern slope of the Loess Ridge, while commanding the troops to counterattack, while asking for help from the county seat more than 50 miles away from the Loess Ridge, Lieutenant General Sang Mu of the 110th Division stationed in the garrison.
Unexpectedly, Commander Yang, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, held a telescope and found a small farm yard on the northern slope of the Loess Ridge, where Japanese officers went in and out, and found that several antennas had been erected on the roof.
Commander Yang ordered the artillery company directly under the military region to shell the courtyard that was suspected to be the location of the Japanese command organ.
'Boom, boom, ......boom', several shells fell in the small courtyard in succession, and when the smoke cleared, the small courtyard had been destroyed.
Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, commander of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, was shot in the abdomen and chest and was seriously wounded.
Since the day he took office, every time he participated in a battle, he caught a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, personally interrogated him, and asked fiercely: "You speak honestly, don't lie, I ask you, are you the Tubalu of the First Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region?" ”
As long as he asked if he was not a soldier of the Eighth Route Army of the First Army Division, he frantically took out his gun and brutally shot the captured prisoners of the Eighth Route Army.
This brutal new Second Independent Mixed Brigade saw the No. 1 Lieutenant General and issued an order to his subordinates that as long as the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the First Army Division were caught, they would all be killed, and none of them would be spared.
At this time, he received that Commander Yang of the First Army Division, which had conquered the two counties of Laiyuan and Lingqiu, ordered Lei Jian's only regiment to destroy the Japanese stronghold in Yuanshan, and at the same time, ordered Section Chief Jiang of the Investigation Section to lead a reconnaissance squad to secretly reconnoiter the deployment and firepower deployment of the Japanese army in Laiyuan and Lingqiu.
Section Chief Jiang led the reconnaissance squad to secretly approach the outskirts of Laiyuan County, and found that there was a heavily armed Japanese army, which was greeted by the Japanese officers defending the city, and quickly drove into the county seat.
Xiao Yang, the leader of the reconnaissance squad, said in a low voice: "Section Chief Jiang, I will bring a few soldiers into the city in disguise, and I will definitely find out the enemy's military deployment in the city and provide reliable information for attacking the county seat." ”
An hour later, squad leader Xiao Yang took two soldiers to pass through the city gate sentry inspection, and finally left the city safely.
Returning to the command post of the first division, Jiang Section Chief of the Operations Section of the Military Region reported: "Report to Commander Yang, Laiyuan City was originally garrisoned by more than 200 Japanese troops, more than 700 puppet troops, and this morning more than 300 Japanese troops were added to defend the city. ”
Commander Yang frowned, and said thoughtfully: "Our Eighth Route Army launched a hundred-regiment battle on Zhengtai Road, and the Japanese army in Laiyuan and Lingqiu has been alerted, and the Japanese army headquarters in North China has ordered to strengthen the counties, towns and strongholds along the railway and highway and on the outer line, and has supplemented and adjusted the troops, weapons and ammunition, and while increasing the number of troops, it has strengthened the fortifications, stockpiled grain and grass, and increased the degree of vigilance.
Today, you have detected that the Japanese army has sent troops to reinforce Laiyuan County, this information is very important, we cannot think that the newly replenished Japanese troops will relax the defense of the county, and these Japanese troops will soon enter the county town defense system to strictly prevent our Eighth Route Army from attacking the city. ”
At a time when the First Army sub-district was in full swing preparing to attack Laiyuan, Lingqiu, and the strongholds along the Tongliao Highway, such as Jianling, Dongtuanbao, Zhangjiayu, and Liujiazui, the sub-division's organ newspaper "War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression" went so far as to disclose in the organ newspaper all the tasks and troop deployments of the second phase of the 100-regiment battle of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, causing a serious leak of secrets.
The commanders of the Japanese troops stationed in Laiyuan and Lingqiu immediately reported this information to the wings and brigades. Lieutenant General Hino, commander of the 180th Division, immediately increased his troops in the prefectures and strongholds that the Dohachi Road was going to attack on the basis of the information.
Commander Yang was very angry at this serious leak of secrets, and took the initiative to report it to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and made a thorough inspection.
Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region attached great importance to the serious leakage of secrets in the first sub-district and ordered the headquarters and political department to strengthen the secrecy work of the subordinate military sub-districts, guerrilla detachments, independent regiments, and other units.
Propaganda organs and newspapers in the military must have a special department examine and approve any important war report before publishing it, so as to prevent the recurrence of similar leaks. According to the drastic changes in the battle situation between the enemy and us after the leak, Commander Yang of the left column made a new deployment.
