Chapter 651: Crisis in North China (1)
Lei Jian heard what Political Commissar Song said, and saw Commander Chen looking at him with an encouraging eye, Lei Jian, a stinky boy, became bold, coughed lightly and said a few opening remarks: "Chiefs, I, Lei Jian, have the courage to say some examples of battles today based on the written documents I captured in Jiaodong and some information from my superiors who fought against the enemy many times.
I'm sorry, in order to protect myself, let's first put the ugly words to the end, I'm a big boy who is not very sensible, quoting the words of Political Commissar Song, 'It's good to say wrong', once you say something offside, please forgive me when the time comes. ”
Before he entered the East Vertical Conference Room, he quickly gathered together the information and battle examples he had learned before crossing in his mind, and formed a storyline in his mind through analysis, synthesis, deduction, and reasoning.
But these are all obtained from other people's materials, I don't know if I say it, whether it will touch people's copyrights, and whether it is plagiarism.
At this time, it is already like this, who told him to have nothing to do, regardless of the occasion to check the reading materials before crossing himself, and lose no time in saying it?
Lei Jian cleared his throat again, and began to talk about the initiation of the sabotage battle of the Eighth Route Army in North China and the 'Hundred Regiment Battle' formulated and deployed by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in his mind during this period of the Anti-Japanese War in his mind, according to his own understanding and ideas.
In the spring and summer of 1940, Senior General Okamura Ninji, commander of the North China Front of the Japanese Army, aimed at the Eighth Route Army's sabotage of railways and highways in various military regions, which greatly damaged the transportation lines of the Japanese army.
Commander Okamura Ninji knocked on the railway and highway transportation network lines hanging on the wall and reprimanded: "The Imperial Japanese Army, with more than 400,000 troops, deployed in the main communication lines in North China, the 108th Division, the 180th Division, the 36th Division, and the troops of the three divisions fought against the Chinese troops on the frontal battlefield, but your rear railways, highways, and stronghold artillery towers were extensively destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, paralyzing some sections of the communication line and destroying the stronghold artillery towers. ”
Lieutenant General Taro Hino, commander of the 180th Division, who was in charge of the security deployment along the Zhengtai Road, stood up and said: "General Okamura, the cunning Tsuchibachi Road is good at guerrilla warfare.
The troops of the 180th Division of our 180th Division in the frontal battlefield are engaged in a battle with the troops of China, and the battlefield situation is stalemate, and it is impossible to send troops back to reinforce it, which is the reason why it has caused ....... ”
"Hino-kun, the Imperial Army of Japan has achieved brilliant results on the front line, why are you helpless against the Dirt Eight Road in the rear? Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army will not be as good as that of the earth guns and artillery? I'm going to tell you, one of my warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, who occupies a favorable terrain and has a 38 rifle, can defeat a company of Tsuchihachi, you don't know, right? Commander Okamura asked unceremoniously.
Lieutenant General Hino, the commander of the 180th Division, was forced by Commander Okamura Ninji to sweat beads on his head, and he accompanied him and said carefully: "Your Excellency Okamura, I request that a brigade be sent from the front line to strengthen the defense of Zhengtai Road to protect the communication lines of the Great Japanese Empire. ”
"Hino-kun, the soldiers on the front-line battlefield are already very nervous, and you can only draw back the strength of one wing to strengthen the communication line of Zhengtai Road to ensure that Zhengtai Road is unimpeded and unimpeded."
"Hayi, please rest assured that Zhengtai Road will definitely carry out the greatest devastating blow to the Tuba Road that appears along the railway and highway under the protection of the Imperial Army, and ensure the unimpeded flow of Zhengtai Road."
Okamura Ningji was very dissatisfied with the division commander in front of him who was not effective in commanding the operation, he knocked on the Zhengtai Road on the map, and said in a tough tone: "Hino-kun, you have repeatedly ensured that the Zhengtai Road is unimpeded, but now it is often attacked by the Eighth Route Army, causing this transportation line to be paralyzed from time to time, which greatly affects the mobilization of various troops in North China and the transportation of military supplies, especially the important resources urgently needed by the Japanese Empire, but because of your repeated unfavorable command, the railway has been attacked, and it cannot be transported in and out in time, yours......。 ”
Lieutenant General Hino, commander of the 180th Division, who was at fault in the hands of Commander Okamura Ninji, was afraid that Okamura Ninji would mention it again in front of many generals, so he immediately immediately reassured: "Hino will definitely order the Imperial Army troops deployed on Zhengtai Road to strengthen patrols day and night, rationally deploy troops, and ensure that Zhengtai Road is unimpeded." ”
General Okamura Ninji saw that the commander of Taro Hino's division was sincerely frightened, and this cunning and ruthless commander who could win the hearts of the people beat the commander of the 180th Division to deter the commanders of the various units at the meeting, and the commanders of other divisions and brigades stood up one after another, showing their loyalty and making sufficient guarantees.
He smiled and said sassuringly: "Colleagues, we are the main commanders of the battlefields in North China, whether the Imperial Japanese Army can first establish a model area in Greater East Asia in North China and achieve the goal of 'using China to contain China', Okamura depends on you, please return to the troops, there will be a new operation immediately, I am waiting for your good news." ”
At this military meeting of the North China Front, a new plan was drawn up to strengthen the security patrol of the North China communication line, and the Japanese army took step by step to force the Eighth Route Army to retreat on the plain, and for a time the Eighth Route Army was in a passive situation.
Under such circumstances, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters personally visited the main divisions and military regions to listen to the views of the leaders of various units on the current situation and the countermeasures they put forward.
After careful analysis, the deputy commander-in-chief noted; At present, the entire Chinese nation has reached a very dangerous period, and the Japanese army at home has adopted a step-by-step approach and implemented a 'cage plan' with railways as pillars, highways as chains, and strongholds as locks, in an attempt to divide the base areas of the Eighth Route Army into a number of small pieces, which are not connected to each other, and then eliminate them one by one.
The sudden change in the international situation caused the southwestern communication line, which received important material support from abroad, to be cut off, and the loss of support for military supplies and money and food, caused the Chongqing government to waver in the war of resistance, and some capitulators were ready to move and turned to attack the base areas of the Eighth Route Army internally.
After a vigorous counterattack, the Eighth Route Army defeated the surrendering faction's first attack on the base area of the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese army promoted the strengthening of law and order in North China and advocated the establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere; The cage policy was introduced, the base areas of the Eighth Route Army were divided by railways and highways, and the inhumane three-light policy was implemented, burning, killing and looting; In order to block the transportation of military supplies and supplies for the Eighth Route Army, the villages were slaughtered, and as long as the villages that were walked by the devils were not spared the slaughter.
The Yan'an headquarters has long recognized that the Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous moment, and clearly pointed out: Now is the period of unprecedented danger of China's surrender and unprecedented difficulties in the War of Resistance against Japan......
The deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, who conscientiously comprehended and understood the strategic deployment and intentions of the Yan'an headquarters, conducted a profound analysis of the situation in North China; In North China, the Japanese army occupied mainly large cities and major transportation routes, and our forces were relatively concentrated, while we occupied mainly small and medium-sized cities and villages, and the enemy relied on large cities and communication arteries to surround the Eighth Route Army, so we surrounded the enemy with small cities and villages.
The Japanese army deployed 250,000 troops in North China, accounting for half of the Japanese army invading China, and 150,000 puppet troops. Although the Eighth Route Army has also grown to more than 400,000 troops, in terms of the quality of its soldiers and weaponry, it is still in a strong position and we are weak, the Japanese army is in an offensive posture, our Eighth Route Army is on the defensive, and the enemy is active and we are passive.
How to break this asymmetrical situation of passive defense and turn the tide of the war in North China, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army put forward the strategic principle of building momentum and controlling the enemy in victory; the Japanese invaders were in an offensive posture, and the Eighth Route Army could not blindly adopt strategic defense, but should send small elite units to spy on intelligence, find out the enemy's situation, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to take the initiative to attack.
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet gained a firm foothold in the movement, and the troops and equipment have not been armed, 'concentrate superior forces and annihilate the enemy by resolute, courageous, and rapid means....... ’。 Following the principle of 'winning more with less strategically, and winning more with less in campaigns', we adopted an active defense and destroyed the enemy in the movement.
In North China, the Japanese army pursued a 'cage policy' with railways as chains, highways as rings, and strongholds as locks, and made use of the network of communication lines to advance step by step and develop in depth, embezzling the anti-Japanese base areas of the Eighth Route Army, with the result that the base areas of the Eighth Route Army were encroached upon and shrunk, military supplies, food, and medicines could not be replenished in a timely manner, military and civilian activities in the base areas were extremely difficult, and anti-Japanese sentiment was greatly affected.
In order to break the brutal 'cage policy' of the Japanese army, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army decided to carry out the largest sabotage war on the Japanese army's communication lines to smash the devil's 'cage policy', but the large-scale sabotage war that had been brewing had not been concretely implemented.
The main reason was that the Eighth Route Army not only had to fight against the Japanese army, but also had to engage in war with the diehards who were supported by the Chongqing government, and the diehards, under the command of the forces behind them, carried out sabotage and attacks on the base areas of the Eighth Route Army on a large scale, cooperated with the Japanese army in sweeping up the base areas against the Japanese, forcibly dissolved the anti-Japanese democratic regime and slaughtered the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in each place they occupied, and carried out fierce attacks on the main forces of the Eighth Route Army and large base areas from the front.
