Chapter 503: Destroying the Enemy with Reinforcements (1)

Lei Jian faced many leaders, his eyes were fixed on him, a half-grown child, and this stinky boy began to explain without stage fright:

Shanxi, Hebei and Henan anti-Japanese base areas, located in the Taihang Mountain, based on the Taihang Mountain, south of the Yellow River north bank, west of the Tongpu Railway, east of the Pinghan Railway, north of the Zhengtai Railway, is the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi, Hebei and Henan provinces border area, after a brutal struggle with the enemy, the establishment of the base, but also the location of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

In accordance with the instructions of the General Headquarters, the units of the Eighth Route Army under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale sneak attack and attack on the enemy and puppet troops entrenched in the vicinity of the base area.

In order to cut off the communication line of the Japanese army as a transportation artery, it carried out sabotage attacks and adopted various forms to destroy the communication lines of the devils, and the enemy's forces were often deployed to defend the attack, which greatly contained and dealt a blow to the Japanese troops attacking south.

Commander Okamura Ninji of the North China Front said angrily at a military meeting: "All units of the Eighth Route Army's Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region have adopted the tactics of night attacks and day ambushes to sabotage the communication lines of the Imperial Japanese Army, the railways and highways have been destroyed, and the main communication arteries of the Imperial Army have been seriously threatened. ”

At the beginning of this year, the divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, which had received orders from the North China Front Headquarters, arrogantly carried out the most brutal sweep of the base areas.

The sinister and cunning Okamura Ninji, in order to eliminate the anti-Japanese base areas that had just been established in Shanxi, Hebei and Henan, put forward the latest combat plan, combined with his deployment of the communication lines in North China, ordered his subordinate think tanks to formulate an insidious plan, reported to the army headquarters, and after receiving the approval, a large number of professionals and the necessary materials were quickly assembled in North China.

The insidious plan was to renovate the existing railroad, build several new lines, and build new and widened roads. Relying on the original railway, the newly built Deshi, Handji, Baijin and other branch lines and trunk lines. The Japanese army used the branch lines of railways and highways to form a transportation network and penetrate its tentacles deep into the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army's base areas.

This conspiracy of the Japanese army was to divide the Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan anti-Japanese base areas into a number of small pieces, in an attempt to divide and blockade the various units of the Eighth Route Army.

"Grandma's, it's insidious enough, if it's really called the little devil to do it, then the Eighth Route Army in our Jinji-Henan base area is like being caught by the little devil, and it can't be stretched at all, just want to do it, the little devil pounces on it like a pack of wolves, how can this battle be fought?" Brigade Commander Zhang of the New Ninth Brigade roared angrily.

Commander Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't interrupt." ”

Lei Jian frowned slightly, his train of thought seemed to be disrupted, but this kid can recover in a short time with this little benefit.

He looked at the leaders sitting in front of him, and continued with a smile: General Okamura Ninji, the commander of the North China Command of the Japanese Army, was very satisfied with the newly built railway branch line, he walked to the North China Railway and Highway Network Map hanging on the wall, pointed out the railway and highway lines, and then drew a circle on the map, and finally smashed his fist in the middle of the map.

Commander Okamura Ninji said insidiously: "As long as our railway and highway branch lines are formed, extend our tentacles to the base areas of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Eighth Route Army, along the railways and major highways, according to the strength of the Eighth Route Army, build strongholds and artillery towers along the line, and form a blockade and blockade, the troops of the Eighth Route Army will become a fish in the net, and the more they struggle, the faster they die, hahaha." ”

Lieutenant General Moritake Tanabe, chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front, stood up and complimented: "General Okamura has a far-sighted view and has given the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Eighth Route Army a large net, and their base areas will be separated into small pieces one by one by railways and highways, and it will be very difficult for the Eighth Route Army to concentrate its forces and sneak attack and destroy the communication lines of our Imperial Japanese Army, and we will be able to wipe out all the troops of the Eighth Route Army in this theater." ”

Lieutenant General Tanabe Moritake's rhetoric was the insidious plan formulated by Senior General Okamura Ninji, which was included in the most precise way, and indeed caused unprecedented difficulties to the Eighth Route Army, which was active in the Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan regions.

In view of the enemy's insidious plan, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army ordered all units of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region to tear through the large net laid by the cunning Japanese army, launch a sabotage campaign against the enemy's railways and highways, pull out the strongholds and artillery towers along the devil's communication line, and reconnect the base areas that had been divided.

In order to contain and strike at the enemy attacking southern and western Jinjin, and to cooperate with the friendly forces in the frontal battlefield, the 344th Brigade of a certain division first assembled along the Yangquan-Jingcheng railway of the Zhengtai Railway and took the initiative to attack.

The division commander ordered a regiment to attack the important Japanese stronghold at Jiuguan, and the regimental commander ordered each battalion to strike at the enemy puppet army at the stronghold at Jiuguan with the greatest firepower, and to increase the momentum and lure the enemy reinforcements from Jingcheng.

The captain of the Japanese army in Jingcheng received an order from the brigade to send more than a dozen trucks, loaded with a large number of Japanese troops, and quickly rushed to Jiuguan.

Just when the battle of Jiuguan was in full swing and the firepower of the enemy and us was very fierce, the 386th Brigade of a certain division received an order to send the main force to set up an ambush halfway from Jingcheng to Jiuguan.

A battalion in ambush at the forward position, seeing a large area of flying dust and mist floating from the direction of Jingcheng, quickly rushed towards their position, and it did not take long to hear the sound of the motor of the car.

The battalion commander immediately reported this information to the brigade headquarters, and the commander of the 386th Brigade frowned and resolutely ordered: "Order the front-line troops to launch the most fierce fire resistance with the Japanese troops who rushed up, forcing the Japanese troops transported by car to get off the car and counterattack, and once they come into contact with the main force of the Japanese reinforcements, they will immediately feign a rout, stop and stop, and lure the enemy into the ambush circle of the main force in the retreat." ”

The commander of the battalion at the front received an order to order the company in the forward position to let go of the second vehicle in front and start the fire again.

When the second truck of the enemy rushed through the position of the avant-garde company, was moving fast, it suddenly came under fire from the front and rear, the trucks were bombed in a continuous blast of grenades, the first few trucks were blown up and paralyzed on the road.

The captain of the Japanese army jumped out of the jeep, hid on the side of the car, brandished his command knife and howled: "Get out of the car all, there are not many troops on the Tuba Road, and the firepower is not fierce, attack quickly, destroy them all, and continue to advance." ”

The reinforced Japanese brigade, like a dumpling jumping out of a truck, launched the most fierce fire attack on the avant-garde battalion with a gun, and the avant-garde battalion was suppressed by the enemy's strong firepower, and the soldiers were shot and fell in a pool of blood.

As soon as the battalion commander saw that he had met the operational requirements of the brigade headquarters, he shouted: "All companies, while blocking the enemy, retreat quickly, and must lead the little devils into the ambush circle set by the main force." ”

The captain of the Japanese army found the strength of a battalion of the Eighth Route Army and withdrew from the position in a panic, and he laughed and said: "Shouting west, the Eighth Route of the Earth is vulnerable, and order the first part of the army to continue the pursuit, clear the obstacles on the way forward, and quickly get on the car and quickly reinforce the imperial army troops in Jiuguan." ”

The commander of the 386th Brigade saw through the telescope that a battalion set up in the front line, after exchanging fire with the enemy, smoothly withdrew from the position, luring a squadron of devils to follow with fire, and the trucks of the enemy's large troops rushed over quickly, and seeing that they were about to enter the ambush circle, the brigade commander ordered: "Without an order, all regiments are not allowed to take the initiative to attack." ”

When all the trucks of the Devil's Brigade entered the ambush circle of the 386th Brigade, the brigade commander decisively shouted: "Order all regiments to destroy the devil's car with the most powerful firepower and destroy this Devil's Brigade reinforcing Jiuguan." ”

The driving devil truck team has all entered the ambush circle, and suddenly it was hit by more powerful firepower, and the grenades flying out from both sides of the road, like hail, fell from the sky, and the dust and mist shrapnel kicked off by the landing explosion shrouded the devil's truck team.

Most of the devil's trucks were destroyed under the bombardment of several waves of grenades from the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the little devils relied on the trucks as a cover to carry out a frantic counterattack on the 386th Brigade.

Seeing that the enemy relied on the superiority of weapons and ammunition, the brigade commander carried out a maximum fire counterattack against the troops, and the troops suffered heavy casualties under the enemy's powerful firepower.

For a while, the battlefield situation has become a state of confrontation, and both sides want to settle the battle in the shortest possible time.

The brigade commander was very angry at the way this battle was fought, and he ordered the chief of staff beside him: "Organize assault teams, concentrate light and heavy weapons and grenades, block the devils who counterattack, and blow up the trucks that serve as cover for the devils." ”

He also ordered to the operational staff officer: "Order that all regiments must destroy this reinforced devil brigade within an hour." ”
