[Anti-Japanese Iron and Blood King] Chapter 95: The sword is pointed at Zhangjiakou

Yun Jian said in a deep voice: "Commander, you really plan to take revenge on the Japanese devils immediately, aren't you afraid that this is their trap?" ”

Ma Zheng glanced at Yun Jian and said: "I don't have to think about it, I know that this is definitely not the improvised intention of the little devil, and the raid on my jurisdiction in five places at once is definitely organized and premeditated, and now the little devil must have deployed heavy troops on the front line of Shangyi and Datong, waiting for us to collide." ”

"If you know, why are you still here?"

Before Yun Jian finished speaking, Ma Zheng interrupted him and said, "Blood debt and blood repayment, since the old devil Lian Nuan Fan has made a move, then we can't help but pay back." Secondly, we are not like we used to fight guerrilla warfare, and we can escape if we can't fight it. But now we have our own territory, we have ordinary people, and we have to be responsible for them. Now that the Japanese devils are carrying out a brutal massacre of the common people in our jurisdiction, then of course we have to give an explanation to the people. You have to let them know that the Eighth Route Army is not here to fight soy sauce, and if anyone dares to violate them, the Eighth Route Army will call the shots for them. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "How can our Eighth Route Army gain the trust and support of the people, it is not enough to win the battle, but to let the people see the tangible benefits. If we turn a blind eye to the Japanese devils because of our appearance, I think we will soon be regarded as tigers and wolves by the common people. ”

Yun Jian nodded and said: "Then how to fight the commander, we must have a bottom in our hearts, and we must not let the little devil lead us by the nose." ”

Wu Xiuda said loudly: "Commander, this group of beasts does not even let go of the old man and children, we must avenge this revenge, what do you say we should do now?" ”

Ma Zheng's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said murderously: "Since the Japanese army is ready, then we must not directly crash into their pockets, in this case, it is equivalent to falling into their trap." But now the little devils don't know exactly how many troops we have, which gives us a lot of room to maneuver. ”

Then, Ma Zheng said loudly: "Order: The entire base area will immediately enter a state of first-level combat readiness, all ammunition will be immediately distributed to all troops, and the grain will be made into dry food, at least ten days' supply." The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Cavalry Regiments, the Special Operations Brigade, the 1st Supplementary Regiment, and the Automobile Transport Brigade set out immediately tonight, and must rush to Lama Mountain in the northeast of Shangyi County before dawn and let them all take cover. ”

In addition, the main forces of the 201st Regiment, the 2nd Supplementary Regiment, and the artillery regiment directly under the brigade headquarters must rush to the outskirts of Shangyi before May 9 and make preparations for besieging the county seat of Shangyi. The main force of the 200th Regiment was stationed in Fengzhen County, preparing to welcome the Japanese army to the north. The guard regiment stayed in Jining, and the other unit was stationed in Zhuozi Mountain, preparing to meet the Japanese puppet army dispatched by Guisui City, and the engineer regiment was transferred to Xinghe County. Comrade Yunjian was in charge of dispatching in Jining, and I acted with the cavalry regiment. Remember, the code name of this operation is called "Snow Shame? "Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

"Alright, let's carry out the order!" Ma Zheng said in a deep voice.

After the generals left, Yun Jian frowned and said to Ma Zheng: "Commander, what is the purpose of your operation this time?" ”

"What do you think, with your Yun Commissar's tactical command ability, you should be able to guess a little!" Ma Zheng said.

Yun Jian frowned and looked at the map for a while, and finally said with some uncertainty: "Zhangbei County? ”

"Hehe, you underestimate me Ma Zheng too much, I took the initiative to take three cavalry regiments and an infantry regiment, and even risked exposing my strength just for a mere Zhangbei County?" Ma Zheng said with a smile.

"You're not going to Zhangjiakou, are you?" Yun Jian asked in surprise.

"What do you think?"

Looking at Ma Zheng's smiling expression, Yun Jian patted his head and said, "You are really going to Zhangjiakou, don't you want to die, is that Zhangjiakou?" ”

"What's wrong with Zhangjiakou, Longtan Tiger's Den, why can't I go there?" Ma Zheng said with a frown.

"I know you're very angry, the little devil's slaughter of innocent people has touched the scales in your heart, but you really can't go to this Zhangjiakou." Yun Jian said.

"Why?"

"Because Zhangjiakou is the provincial capital of Chahar and the location of the headquarters of the Mongolian army, according to the information we received earlier, the Japanese army was stationed in Zhangjiakou with heavy troops. At present, the field troops of the Japanese army in Zhangjiakou City alone have a complete infantry brigade, a tank brigade and a large number of puppet army and devil gendarmes. So that's a few hard bones! ”

Then Yun Jian frowned again and said, "No, even if we can capture it, we will definitely pay heavy casualties, and in the end, the gains will outweigh the losses." With your character of a profiteer who only takes advantage and does not suffer losses, you will definitely not storm Zhangjiakou, and you are also preparing to bring your troops to Lama Mountain north of Shangyi, what are you going to do? .

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "I really won't attack Zhangjiakou, but I will definitely take Zhangjiakou!" ”

"Unless the little devil is crazy, Zhangjiakou is different from small cities like Xinghe and Jining, which have been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and the city fortifications are extremely perfect. Although you have three cavalry regiments and one infantry regiment, the total strength is only 7,000 men, which is at most about the same number as the defenders in Zhangjiakou City. But you're bringing cavalry, so you're not going to let cavalry be used as infantry, are you? ”

"Besides, Wanquan and other places are too close to Zhangjiakou, and there are trains to communicate, it will take less than two and a half hours by train for the devil's reinforcements to arrive, and it is impossible to capture a heavily guarded military town like Zhangjiakou in two hours. So I really can't think of how you can take Zhangjiakou. Yun Jian said.

Ma Zheng pointed to Shangyi County and said, "The key is here!" ”

"Shang Yi?"

"Yes, the villages attacked this time are close to Shangyi and Datong, so the enemy must have come from these two places. And since the little devils dare to do this, they must be prepared in these places, so they are not worried about us counterattacking, and even hope that we will take the initiative to attack and have a decisive battle with their main force, so as to create a good opportunity to annihilate our army. ”

"Well, it makes sense, but what does this have to do with your attack on Zhangjiakou?" Yun Jian asked again.

"Of course it matters, since the Japanese army has arranged in Shangyi, where did the devils here come from?"

"That's right, Shangyi is so close to Zhangjiakou, the devils on the front line of Shangyi must be from Zhangjiakou, which means that there are not many devils in Zhangjiakou City!" Yun Jian's eyes lit up and said.

"That's natural, there are only a few little devils in total, I think there is at most one wing of defenders in Zhangjiakou City, plus the strength of the nearby strongholds and the county seat, there is only one brigade, at most four or five thousand people."

Then Ma Zheng continued: "Now I have placed two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment on the periphery of Shangyi, with a total strength of more than 6,500 people, which is equivalent to more than a reinforced brigade of the Japanese army. I believe that the Japanese army will definitely not have so many troops placed in Shangyi County, and as long as we put on such a posture, the Japanese army in Zhangjiakou will definitely move towards Shangyi. ”

"Are you trying to turn the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Well, as long as the defenders in Zhangjiakou City are transferred to a certain part, then the entire city defense will be much empty. In addition, no one would have thought that we would run in a roundabout way, so it is a mental calculation or not, and the odds of winning are quite large. Ma Zheng said.

"How do you plan to make a detour, is it a detour to Zhangbei County and then go south?"

"Yes, Zhangbei is very close to Zhangjiakou, and there are open fields everywhere along the way, so it's a good detour. As long as the troops are detoured back to Zhangjiakou City, then this battle is equivalent to winning half, and as for the remaining half, it depends on how many devils Shangyi's side can mobilize! Ma Zheng said in a deep voice.
