This time, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led their troops to fight in western Inner Mongolia. Not only did they have outstanding military exploits, they defeated two Japanese tanks and made a lot of money.
The results were so rich that they even exceeded the expectations of Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.
At this point, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong are preparing to lead the armored troops to evacuate according to the plan.
Of course, Kong Jie also made a special fishing plan before this.
"According to our camouflage plan, according to the Japanese intelligence, our main armored force should be near Zhangjiakou and Houhe.
After the news of the sneak attack on Wuchagou Airport came out, our main force appeared near Wuchagou again.
Next, let’s continue to expose it.
According to the plan, our main armored force will appear in the reconnaissance field of the Japanese army, and we will go to the Hetao area for a walk, and then send our main force back to Yan'an through the passage to Shaanxi."
"This move is to tell the Japanese army that our main armored forces have all withdrawn to the rear area, so as to paralyze the Japanese army's judgment and provide cover for the next dispersed operations of our armored forces."
Speaking of this, Kong Jie said with a smile: "Once our main armored force withdraws, Houhe and the Wuchagou Airport area will be obviously easy to deal with.
Lao Li, if we just use this bait to fish, will we be able to catch the old devil Heimu or the old devil Nanzhi?"
Li Yunlong said: "Maybe not even a single fish will take the bait. I'm afraid the little devil has been frightened by our armored troops."
Kong Jie shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. How about we make a bet, Lao Li?"
"How to bet?" Li Yunlong asked.
Kong Jie said: "I bet the Japanese will definitely take the bait, whether it's that old Japanese from Nanzhi or that old Japanese from Heimu.
If I win the bet, I won’t ask you for anything else. Just lend me Lao Zhao for three months, and I’ll return it to you after you’ve used it!
Our detachment has recently created an advanced training class for cadres, and we are in need of gentlemen like Lao Zhao to teach."
Hearing this, Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie and laughed twice, then asked: "Old Kong, stop bragging about your fortune. What if you lose the bet?"
Kong Jie thought for a while and said: "Well, Lao Li, if I lose, I will introduce you to a young and beautiful girl to be your wife later. Is that okay?"
Li Yunlong immediately cursed: "Fuck you, our old Li is a handsome young man from all over the country. Do we need you, Kong Erluo, to find a wife for us?"
"Haha, Lao Li, please don't be so harsh. Maybe your future wife is really the one we, Lao Kong, found for you!" Kong Jie couldn't help laughing, and Yang Xiuqin's name soon appeared in his heart. That station
On the gun tower in Ping'an County, a staunch woman shouted "Li Yunlong, if you were a man, I would shoot you."
Now that I think about it, Lao Kong has already asked for a wife, so it’s time for Lao Li’s daughter-in-law Xiu Qin to be put on the agenda.
The two made up their minds and started making preparations immediately.
A massive force disguised as the main armored force was formed, preparing to pass through the Hetao area, borrow a passage from the 35th Route Army, and then move to the rear of Yan'an.
In order to achieve the purpose of disguising the real thing, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong worked hard on the disguise of this unit.
There are a considerable number of tanks and armored vehicles in the team. Most of these tanks and armored vehicles are problem tanks that need to be overhauled after defeating the Nanzhi troops and the Blackwood Chariot Brigade.
Then touch up the paint, cover it with a little cloth, and repair it. When you drive in, no one can tell whether it is a damaged tank or an intact tank.
If it really loses its mobility, use a towing vehicle to pull it up.
The entire team is equipped with maintenance vehicles, tractors, tank trucks, engineering vehicles, and transport trucks.
In this way, let alone the 35th Route Army who have never seen the Eighth Route Army's armored troops, even if they invite the old devils Heimu and Nanzhi over, they may not be able to tell clearly whether this is the main armored force of the Eighth Route Army.
This time, borrowing a road from the 35th Route Army to evacuate from the Hetao area had another purpose.
Kong Jie has been thinking about flexing his muscles to Commander Fu so as to further win over the 35th Route Army and show his sincerity towards the Eighth Route Army.
This is actually very possible, considering the special characteristics of the 35th Route Army led by Fu Yisheng. It successfully broke away from the Shanxi-Sui Army, but it did not completely return to the Chiang Kai-shek military government.
As the shrewd helmsman of the 35th Route Army, Commander Fu is also a master who does not let go of rabbits.
At first, Commander Fu followed Yan Laoxi, but he soon discovered that his commander Yan seemed to only want to guard the three-acre land in Shanxi. He had no enterprising spirit at all. For his own benefit, he could even negotiate with Japan.
When people look at each other, no one should consider the interests of the country or the life and death of the people.
Chairman Chiang shrewdly noticed this mentality of Commander Fu. With his encouragement, Commander Fu successfully broke away from the Shanxi-Sui Army and led the 35th Route Army to garrison in the Hetao area.
At this time, Chairman Chiang became Commander Fu’s most likely investor.
But the matter has not become final.
Over the years, Commander Fu has become very close to the Eighth Route Army of the Northwest Military Region, especially Mr. Fu. They are connected to each other and even earned the title of Seven and a Half Route Army.
Chairman Chiang saw this and was anxious in his heart. However, Commander Fu had a special nature, so he could only coax him with nice words.
If the operation is improper and Commander Fu turns around and returns to the arms of the Shanxi-Sui Army, Chairman Chiang will be depressed.
Now it's good, and there are potential stocks emerging again.
The Eighth Route Army has risen rapidly in the past two years, from the Hundred Regiment War, to the winter counterattack, to the Huangyadong Defense Battle, and now, with armored units, it has defeated two elite tanks of the Japanese army.
Obviously, Chairman Chiang had trouble sleeping again because of the rise of the Eighth Route Army.
Especially after the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army appeared in the western Inner Mongolia area, they cooperated with the 35th Route Army in joint operations, successfully captured Baotou, defeated the Japanese tank troops, captured Houhouhe, and attacked Zhangjiakou.
After this series of military operations, one cannot help but wonder whether the 35th Route Army and the Eighth Route Army have cooperated sincerely.
So Kong Jie decided to add another fire.
The main force of the disguised armored troops swaggered into the 35th Route Army's defense area and took advantage of the passage.
The teacher and the principal had greeted Commander Fu in advance.
This time, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led the armored troops into the western Inner Mongolia area and defeated the Nanzhi tank group. They breathed a sigh of relief for the 35th Route Army. They also supported the 35th Route Army and successfully captured Baotou and eliminated the troops stationed in Mongolia.
The army's lair.
Based on this alone, the 35th Route Army owes a favor to the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, the main force of the Eighth Route Army's armored forces took advantage of the passage. Commander Fu did not hesitate to express his agreement and sent special troops to respond.
Actually.
Commander Fu also wanted to take a good look at the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army.
The chief of staff on the side was also full of expectations, "Yi Gong, I want to take a good look at what this elite Eighth Route Army armored force looks like, which can defeat two Japanese tanks one after another!"
Wait until the mighty Eighth Route Army armored forces enter the 35th Route Army defense area.
Looking at the tanks, the mechanized transport vehicles, and the entire fleet of artillery, supplies, and equipment.
The armored troops of the Eighth Route Army were so fake that they looked like real ones, which greatly shocked the officers and soldiers of the 35th Route Army.
Chief of Staff Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Yi Gong, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that our relationship with the Eighth Route Army is really good, we are friendly forces, and we are still jointly resisting Japan, and such a large number of equipment passed through our defense area, I would have
I really want to cut it off and put it all in our warehouse!"
Commander Fu smiled.
"According to the latest reliable news, the Japanese and puppet Wuchagou Airport was raided by the Eighth Route Army. After the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the Eighth Route Army had already evacuated in advance. All supplies and equipment at the airport were seized, and even more than 20 parked aircraft were seized.
There was no trace, not even the wreckage was seen."
The chief of staff looked stunned and said: "Yi Gong, do you mean that all the Japanese aircraft were taken away by the Eighth Route Army?"
Commander Fu nodded.
"How is this possible? That's a plane! Let's not talk about whether the Eighth Route Army has pilots who can fly planes. The Eighth Route Army just drove the plane away. Where did they stop it!"
"This...or means that the Eighth Route Army has secretly built an aviation base, so..."
The chief of staff analyzed and shocked himself.
This made him take a breath.
Once upon a time, the Eighth Route Army was a force with backward equipment and scarce ammunition. Now, it has an elite armored force that is not only powerful enough to defeat two Japanese tanks.
Look at this, even the air force is about to be established.
"Yi Gong, in this case, the Eighth Route Army has grown to an astonishing level. I'm afraid the situation in China will change!"
The Eighth Route Army, which now possesses air force power, may have to reassess its status in the Chinese armed forces!
There are also some words that neither Commander Fu nor Chief of Staff Chen said, as they have a tacit understanding.
Nowadays, the Eighth Route Army is getting stronger and stronger. It is also an armored force and an aviation force. If someone really wants to deal with the 35th Route Army, it probably won’t take much effort.
Thinking of this, the Chief of Staff, who originally had no idea about the Eighth Route Army's armored force, dared to have other thoughts.
At this time, Commander Fu's words again surprised the Chief of Staff:
"Ming Buddha, I think if we decide to take sides in the future, we can also take the Communist Party into consideration.
By the way, make arrangements in advance and prepare some gifts. I heard that the Eighth Route Army is planning to hold a Party Founding Day event in Yan'an, and we just happen to be there to visit.
In addition, we are not only going to Yan'an, but also to Lao He's 120th Division, Lao Liu's 129th Division, and Commander Lu's Jizhong. Finally, we will go to the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu base area and the Daqingshan base area.
."
The chief of staff was surprised and said: "Yi Gong, what do you mean?"
Commander Fu smiled and said: "Go and inspect the overall development of the Eighth Route Army.
We have been in contact with the Eighth Route Army for many years. In contrast, such a new army that sincerely serves the country and the people can indeed replace the decaying old army and become the hope of China.
You and I are not corrupt people. We must not only consider our own future, but also make long-term considerations for the fate of the country and the brothers of the 35th Route Army behind us.
If the Eighth Route Army does develop well..."
Commander Fu also made a joke: "Maybe we can submit the application for party membership together!"
……
……
There are few airtight walls in this world. With the intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities of the Japanese army, the news that the main armored force of the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the Hetao area and entered the Yan'an rear area under the cover of the 35th Route Army, naturally spread to the Japanese command very quickly.
Department.
The old devil Kuroki also learned the news.
But he said that Major General Kuroki has some ideas.
After being defeated miserably by the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army, he did not choose to retreat to the rear area in embarrassment, that is, the Zhangjiakou area.
This old devil, Heimu, has been in China for many years and has read Sun Tzu's Art of War. He understands the principle of defeating an army and winning.
After the defeat, Kuroki led the remaining main force and continued to disperse and hide near the communication lines. He also asked the puppet troops stationed in Mongolia to pretend to be the Kuroki Brigade and continued to retreat to the eastern Mongolia area with great fanfare.
Kuroki chose to take the risk because he was unwilling to do so because he didn't want to lose the battle and escape back in despair.
Although Nanzhi is an idiot, his background is something Kuroki cannot envy.
After all, Nan Zhi played a great role in the Battle of Songhu. The defeat of his mixed group troops can shirk part of the responsibility to the intelligence department. In addition, he can also make excuses. The entire tank group was temporarily formed, and the coordinated combat cooperation of multiple arms is still possible.
There are big problems.
Coupled with Okamura's protection, Nanzhi would only be punished at most and be reprimanded by the senior management.
Besides, most of the Nanzhi troops were lost, so almost a third of them escaped!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
As the old saying goes, it all depends on your peers!
During this period of time, the North China Front has seen too many pig-like commands.
The 26th Division first defeated Baode, then Datong, and then a group of base areas. This time the mobile brigade going to Mongolia was also defeated.
The cavalry group of the Mongolian Army lost Baotou for the second time.
Not to mention Colonel Texas, the Third Mixed Brigade who can only sell his teammates to escape, escape expert Major General Ishikawa, etc.
All he needs to do in Nanzhi is to imitate the Texas colonel and honor his superiors with some of the looted property, and that’s not a light sentence!
But Kuroki is different. He represents the elite of the Kwantung Army and the glory of the Kwantung Army.
The Kwantung Army has always been strict in running the army. He finally became the commander of the chariot brigade, but he came back in vain. He was punished at least and dismissed from his post, and at worst he even had to commit suicide by caesarean section.
When he thought of this, Kuroki felt more sad than his heart would die.
Therefore, despite knowing that he might be taking risks, he still chose to keep his main force at the front line, preparing to find another opportunity to fight the Eighth Route Army in a decisive battle to win back the victory. At least he could not lose too badly.
It was learned that the main force of the Eighth Route Army appeared in the Zhangjiakou area, and also evacuated from the Hetao area toward western Shaanxi.
Major General Kuroki does not have the courage to fight again with the main force of the Eighth Route Army's armored forces.
However, it may still be possible to take advantage of the absence of the main force of the Eighth Route Army to regain the lost territory in western Inner Mongolia and seize back Wuchagou Airport.
Heimu made a small calculation, and it was definitely impossible for the Eighth Route Army to stay in the Western Inner Mongolia area for a long time. Once the Eighth Route Army evacuated, he could just take the opportunity to recapture a few empty cities, which would be a big achievement.
If it really doesn't work, after capturing the city, killing some civilians, and then disguising themselves as the corpses of the Eighth Route Army and falsely reporting their military exploits would be a fig leaf to cover themselves up.
With this plan in mind, after receiving the news that the main armored force of the Eighth Route Army was in the Hetao area, the old soldier Heimu immediately led his remaining armored forces to fight back and quickly advanced towards the western Inner Mongolia area...
