When Lei Jian said this, he took a deep breath and said: "Chiefs, what I just said is not a battle example, but according to the information I know, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army will be deployed around Zhengtai Road, and the general sabotage battle of Zhengtai Road will be deployed, and the large-scale attack that will be launched soon, as well as the current strategic layout of blockade and anti-blockade between the enemy and us, I will briefly talk about it. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Commander Chen and Political Commissar Song, and asked with a smile, "Two leaders, is it okay for Lei Jian to talk about it here?" ”

Brigade Commander Song of the New Seventh Brigade stood up and said with an unhappy face: "Commander Chen, Political Commissar Song, Commander Lei just said that at a critical juncture, this is going to be put on a shelf again, and this is too ......." ”

"What's too much? Otherwise, if you go on, I don't think everyone here will object, hahaha. Commander Chen said with a smile.

He knew that everyone here was very interested in Lei Jian's secret things that he had never heard of, and even he had participated in several military meetings held by the headquarters, but he knew less than half of the situation of Lei Jian, a stinky boy, and not only valued Lei Jian more.

He originally wanted to ask where Lei Jian got all this information and materials from, but he was so frightened that Lei Jian didn't dare to say any more, so he couldn't help but ask questions for the time being.

Commander Chen looked at Lei Jian and said, "Since everyone still wants to hear you continue, then you can continue." ”

Lei Jian was afraid to say these secrets related to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and under the repeated urging of Dongzong and several brigade commanders, he had to protect himself and said: "Chiefs, I, Lei Jian, once again affirm that no matter what I say, these are some collected information. Is the information, it is a resource shared by everyone, there is no personal opinion and plagiarism, and the leaders don't want to pull the pigtails of the thunder sword at the end, if that's the case, I'll die unjustly. ”

"No, we know that you have a good mind, you can remember what you have heard and seen very clearly, and you are good at collecting useful information and battle examples, you can tell it, this is also an improvement for our brigades, in the future in the upcoming big raid, you can also understand the intention of the supreme leader, really fight, will not blindly fight, resulting in mistakes in the battle, we should thank you, you can rest assured, will never pull your pigtails."

"Yes, Captain Lei, let's go on, you're so grinding, you're in a hurry."

"Commander Lei, you can rest assured that there are Commander Chen and Political Commissar Song of the East Column at the meeting, and it is good to say that you are wrong, and you will not play the board to find the future."

Everyone saw that Lei Jian was afraid of pulling his pigtails and didn't dare to say any more, urging them one by one, and also brought out Commander Chen and Political Commissar Song as guarantees, the purpose was to hear more about the many things they didn't know yet.

The residual subconscious of Lei Jian's body, although he was afraid of being braided and beaten with a stick when he said so much, but the dominant consciousness he brought before crossing over did not take what he said seriously at all, thinking that what he said at this time was some historical information, although it was not his own first-hand, but it was all verified by the times, and it could be regarded as an unbreakable historical reproduction, and it should not be regarded as a leak or the results of others, he was bold, and then continued:

In June 1940, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army summoned Commander Nie and relevant leaders of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and gave clear instructions: I have been brewing for a long time, especially during this period of time, a plan for fighting a war that is becoming mature, but due to the deterioration of the situation at home and abroad, this plan and plan of mine have never been implemented.

I planned to use 19 to 21 regiments to completely destroy the Zhengtai Road, and the Japanese army could not be opened to traffic for half a year or at least 40 days, causing the Zhengtai Road to be paralyzed during this period, forcing the enemy to leave this area, and connecting the two base areas of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei and southeast Jin.

The deputy commander-in-chief finally said: In order to hurt the enemy, the Japanese invaders have no ability to restore the normal opening of Zhengtai Road in a short period of time. Yangquan was handed over to Commander Liu of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region to fight, and Niangziguan was handed over to Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to attack.

In mid-July, the principal head of the Chongqing office of the Yan'an General Headquarters sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army: In order to take the initiative politically, militarily, and culturally, it is necessary to fight several more big victories at the front, so as to inspire people and enhance the prestige of our party and our Eighth Route Army, so as to better form a national unity and anti-Japanese front to defeat the Japanese attack on the frontal battlefield and the blockade of our Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines.

The former deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, in accordance with the operational intentions of the Yan'an General Headquarters and after careful consideration, decided to choose Zhengtai Road as the main target of the campaign. In order to perfect the Zhengtai Road sabotage campaign, and at the same time to fully mobilize the heads of all corps and military regions to pool their wisdom on this sabotage campaign, the deputy commander-in-chief sent the chief of the general staff of the former commander to the main division (129) for the second time to solicit opinions on the deployment of this campaign.

After the chief of staff of the former commander left the unit, the heads of all corps and military regions immediately convened a military meeting of the chiefs to begin studying the preparations for the upcoming campaign.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army convened a military meeting in accordance with the opinions of the chiefs of staff brought back by the chief of staff, and after several days of discussion and discussion to the final decision, a military operation that shook North China and even the whole country for the Eighth Route Army was about to begin.

On 22 July, the commander and political commissar of the main division (129) received a top-secret telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the content of which was relatively simple, but the determination to kill the enemy and the fierce willingness to fight were revealed between the lines.

At the same time, the front-line command of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, in order to obtain the consent of the Yan'an Headquarters, immediately reported to the Military Commission of the Yan'an Headquarters, and noted that this telegram was urgent.

After the "Preparatory Order" was issued, Division Commander Liu of the main division (129) immediately signed the "Zhengtailu Campaign Order", and Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region signed the "Campaign Deployment Order" at the same time.

The main division (120) held meetings for four or five days in a row, but due to various reasons, it was not possible to send 4 to 6 regiments to directly participate in the deployment of the Zhengtai Road cooperation operation in accordance with the requirements of the "Preparatory Order" of the headquarters.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the headquarters and the former chief of the general staff were very anxious when they heard the news, and they were originally scheduled to launch a general offensive on August 13, mainly to commemorate the August 1937 campaign. 1. The third anniversary of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War.

More importantly, the autumn harvest has already begun, and the peasants along the railway lines of the Japanese army are beginning to harvest their crops, and the green gauze tents that have been used for concealed operations will soon be cleared, and the main fronts of this sabotage battle are all in the plains where the Japanese strongholds and artillery towers are concentrated, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which have lost the cover of the green gauze tents, will launch a sabotage battle, which will increase the danger of a great increase.

In order to unify and coordinate operations, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army postponed the sabotage attack by one week, and all corps and military regions, during this period, mobilized all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines in North China, as well as the local armed forces and villagers along the Zhengtai Line, to enter the intense preparatory work in the early stage of the campaign.

Subsequently, the commander-in-chief of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy commander-in-chief, and the chief of the general staff of the former commander issued combat action orders to all participating units.

The 10 regiments of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were ordered to attack the Zhengtai line from Pingxingguan to Shijiazhuang, and the main focus should be on the Pingding section of Niangziguan, and to send troops to launch a sabotage attack on other railway lines at the same time, destroy the Japanese transportation line, and block all possible Japanese troops that could be reinforced to the Zhengtai line.

When attacking railway and highway communication lines, when the conditions are ripe, pull out or destroy the Japanese strongholds and artillery towers along the line, and send appropriate troops to monitor the Japanese mechanized troops that are rushing over from a long distance to reinforce them.

The main division (129) Commander Liu's headquarters, with eight regiments and one section, attacked the Zhengtai line from Pingding to Yuci, and sent troops to the adjacent Pinghan railways to focus on destroying the adjacent railways, cutting off the supply line of the devils, and blocking the enemy's inability to reinforce the Zhengtai Road in time.

At the same time, he ordered the main division (120) Hebu to focus on the Tongpu line north of Pingyao and the Fenli Highway, and strive to send two more regiments to the south and north of Yuci to directly join the main division (129) Liu Bu to fight.

Order all corps, military regions, and special service regiments of the headquarters to be under the direct command of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and order ........

Lei Jianzheng suddenly paused as he spoke, his body shook suddenly, he looked at Commander Chen and Political Commissar Song with a pale face, and said nervously: "Commander Chen, Political Commissar Song, I can't say it anymore, I don't dare to say it anymore, let alone say anything more." ”
