General Okamura Ningji, commander of the North China Front, stood in front of the map and ordered: "The troops of the Eighth Route Army have secretly attacked the Pinghan Road, and ordered the troops along the line from Gaobeidian to Shijiazhuang, quickly mobilize 12,000 imperial soldiers, and launch the most fierce attack along the Pinghan Railway to the Fuping and Laiyuan areas. ”

The Jin-Cha-Ji Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army intercepted the enemy's intelligence and urgently convened a military meeting to deal with the enemy's frantic attack.

Commander Nie decisively ordered: "This time the enemy is heavily pressed, the artillery is fierce, the planes are assisting, and the cavalry is cooperating, we are facing such a powerful enemy attack, and it is not possible to fight hard head-on, we still have to take out our magic weapon and adopt guerrilla warfare to deal with it." ”

Just as Commander Nie was nervously planning the deployment of the operation, the top level of the Japanese army learned through a secret report from the spies that the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region stationed in Fuping was holding a meeting, and immediately ordered an enemy plane to fly over Fuping to carry out wanton and indiscriminate bombing.

The Jin-Cha-Ji Command was the main target of the bombing by the enemy planes, and the commander ordered the comrades who were in a meeting to immediately enter the communication trenches and underground hidden holes to avoid the bombing of the enemy planes.

After the enemy planes dropped their on-board bombs, they dived up and down and opened fire from their machine guns, and the panicked residents in the streets were shot and fell in pools of blood as they ran and fled.

When Commander Nie came to Fuping from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, he took precautions and organized manpower to dig an underground air-raid shelter to carry out wanton and indiscriminate bombing by enemy planes.

In the early morning of the next day, the military region headquarters was nervously cleaning up the damage caused by the sneak attack of the enemy planes, when a reconnaissance staff officer suddenly ran in from outside and hurriedly reported: "Report to the commander, the devils have gathered a large force of several thousand Japanese soldiers, and they have arrived at Wangkuai Town, which is more than 20 miles away from Fuping, and with the cooperation of the cavalry brigade, they are frantically rushing towards Fuping. ”

Commander Nie frowned, looked at the devastated Fuping City, for the safety of the military region organs, for the safety of the residents of Fuping, he quickly ordered to the combat staff officer Tang: "Convey my order, order the military region organs to withdraw from Fuping immediately and move to Wutai before dawn." ”

After a forced march, the troops finally arrived at Wutai Mountain, the birthplace of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and chose a new site to place the military region's organs in the Jingangku on the southern slope of Wutai Mountain.

Before the commander could settle down, he said to Staff Officer Tang: "Draft an order and order all detachments, subdivisions, and guerrillas of the military region to make persistent efforts, to penetrate deep into the enemy-occupied areas, to carry out the largest sabotage attacks on the enemy's railways, highways, and strongholds and artillery towers along the line, and to paralyze the enemy's lines of communication." ”

The enemy's rear was attacked by the Eighth Route Army in an all-round sneak attack, suffered heavy losses, was unable to take care of the beginning and the end, fell into a panic, and the thousands of enemies who were clinging to the organs of the military region had to retreat hastily under the orders of the division commander.

The enemy who attacked Fuping in four ways did not dare to stay in the retreat, and while retreating, he blocked the fire attack of the Eighth Route Army that followed closely, forcing the Japanese army to retreat quickly, and under the cover of aircraft and artillery, the enemy who attacked Fuping separately and withdrew from Fuping for more than 100 miles.

Although the attack was carried out at night, and the little devils rushed to repair it during the day, it greatly disrupted the transportation lines of the Japanese army, and the wagons on the railway often derailed while driving, and for the safety of train transportation, the Japanese army dispatched three railway armored vehicles to Pinghan Road to patrol back and forth to prevent the Eighth Route Army from sneaking attack.

Less than a month later, the commander of the military region received information that a large Japanese army was once again moving south along the Jinpu Road, with the target reaching Xuzhou. It was also learned that a large number of Japanese troops were concentrated in Beiping in full armor at the strongholds in the northern section of the Pinghan Road and along the way, and their purpose was also to point to the Jinpu line.

In order to disrupt the Japanese army's battle plan, move the troops to fight the devils, and cooperate with the friendly forces to destroy the main force of the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield, the commander made a combat deployment for the second attack on the northern section of the Pinghan Road; The Jin-Cha-Ji First and Second Army sub-divisions were ordered to strike at the enemy and puppet armies that had moved to the south and north of Baoding with the greatest firepower superiority, and ordered the Jizhong Military Region and all units to closely cooperate with this campaign and to beat and cripple the enemy.

As a result of the coordinated operations of various units, several county towns along the Pinghan Road have been conquered, the enemy's operational arrangements have been dealt a heavy blow, and more than 2,400 puppet troops have been liberated and captured.

In order to expand the results of the battle, on 6 July, in accordance with the order of the General Headquarters to attack and demonstrate against the enemy, the commander issued a "telegram ordering all units of the military region to make arrangements for attacking the enemy."

The First and Second Army subdivisions were deployed to attack Pingsui Road with the cooperation of a certain main division of the Eighth Route Army, and the Third Army subdivisions worked closely with the troops of the Jizhong Military Region to break through the Japanese army's transportation and supply lines from Xinle to Baoding, launching the most fierce attack on the enemy in Baoding. The Fourth Army subdivision deployed the main force to attack Zhengtai Road, an important communication line of the Japanese army, and demanded that the Japanese train be cut off in the near future and that military supplies and mineral resources be transported inside and outside.

On the night of 6 and 8 July, all units received orders from the military region to suddenly carry out a coordinated and large-scale sabotage attack on the Japanese army on a number of railway lines.

Operational Staff Officer Tang looked at the summary of the good news, and excitedly stood in front of Commander Nie and reported: "Report to the commander, in the three-day operation, all units fought bravely to kill the enemy, attacked from all sides, and fought in concert, destroying more than 1,400 enemies, capturing more than 130 puppet troops, and more than 1,600 puppet troops surrendering, breaking through more than 30 stations, strongholds and artillery towers along the line, destroying six locomotives, scrapping more than 20 enemy cars, destroying more than 100 miles of railways, five large and small bridges, and seizing a large number of guns and military supplies of various types, commander, this campaign, It's a big harvest and one to celebrate. ”

Commander Nie pondered for a while, and happily ordered the confidential officer: "To implement the specific results, you must not make false reports and false reports, and immediately telegraph to the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters." ”

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region concentrated its superior forces, smashed the strategies and tactics in various ways, and carried out three large-scale sabotage battles on the lines of communication behind enemy lines in Pinghan and Pingsui, dealing a heavy blow to the lifeline of the Japanese army's large troops, gaining valuable experience in mass-attacking the enemy's lines of communication, and laying a very good foundation for the subsequent 100 or 100 ......, that is, the general sabotage battles that were about to be launched.

At the same time, in order to strike at the enemy, the troops of the Eighth Route Army along the various railways launched sabotage attacks on the enemy's communication lines and attacks on strongholds and artillery towers along different railway lines. ”

"Well, that's a good point." Outside Lei Jian's grass hut, there was a cheer.

Lei Jian frowned, he subconsciously stood up and asked, "Who is applauding outside?" Aren't all cordons arranged? I ordered the sentries not to approach anyone, how did I put people in the doorway? ”

"Hahaha, Captain Lei, I've been here for a long time, and I'm not embarrassed to disturb you when I hear what you say, and when I heard you talk about **, I unconsciously shouted cheers, I'm really sorry to interrupt your wonderful speech." As he spoke, two people walked out from the side of the hut.

Lei Jian looked at these two people, and hurriedly stood up and reported: "Report to Commander Chen, I just finished the meeting just now, and I have nothing to do, so I talked to the cadres above the battalion level of the independent regiment about some loud battle examples, hehe, I didn't expect you to hear it, I'm really ashamed." ”

The cadres above the battalion level present couldn't help shouting in surprise when they heard Lei Jian call the middle-aged man 'Commander Chen' who came in: "This is the famous Commander Chen of the East Column?" It's a blessing today, I didn't expect to meet Commander Chen. ”

The people in the room hurriedly stood up and saluted, and shouted loudly, "Commander Chen is good." ”

"Hahaha, you have worked hard, my voice has mixed up your good deeds, otherwise let's all sit down and listen to Commander Lei tell us again, is it good to break a few examples of the Japanese army's communication lines in the northwest of Shanxi?"

"Hehe, Commander Chen, don't show my appearance, I haven't talked about your ...... yet."

"Commander Lei, don't change the topic, let's continue, otherwise, I'm sorry for these comrades of yours, hahaha."

Lei Jian lost no time in suddenly shouting: "Comrades, let's ask the famous Commander Chen to tell us how this commander with 100,000 troops disguised himself and mixed into the devil's turret and reconnoitred the enemy's heroic feat." ”
