After deciding on joint operations, Commander Xu held a pre-war military meeting at the base headquarters.
Seeing Li Yunlong's serious look, Commander Xu smiled and introduced to the generals in the transportation base area participating in the meeting.
"This big-headed guy is Comrade Li Yunlong, an old comrade of mine. Some of you must have seen him. Those of you who haven't seen him, I think you've heard of this kid's reputation for causing trouble.
But it’s different now. This is really something that people will see with admiration after three days.
Now Li Yunlong is the commander of the rapid reaction force directly under the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and is also the person in charge of the new second regiment base area. Everyone welcomes this mobile force field group command!"
The cadres applauded one after another and cast admiring glances at Li Yunlong.
Lao Li was very happy.
He said directly: "Comrades, Lao Li came here in a hurry this time and didn't bring you any gifts. So, as a token of appreciation, tomorrow I will ask you to take a look at ground-to-air artillery and tank coordination tactics."
The Jiaodong base area is still some distance away from the rapidly rising Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army and the Taihang base area. In addition, before the May Day raids, the Japanese army implemented a relatively tight military blockade around the Jiaodong base area.
Therefore, the development of the troops in the Jiaodong base area is still relatively slow.
Nowadays, the level of equipment has not been improved, let alone ground-to-air-to-surface artillery and tank tactics. Many soldiers have never even touched a tank.
Everyone heard what Li Yunlong said and had already heard about the great equipment development of the comrades in the Taihang Base Area. Everyone looked at Li Yunlong with expectation.
Then, Lao Li said confidently: "Not only must we defeat the Japanese, we must also prevent the Japanese from sneaking up on us according to our tactics.
We made such a big fuss in Weixian. The Japanese from eastern Jiaodong crawled here and gathered here. We easily broke through their outer defenses during the day. Their only chance to get back to the next round was to take advantage of our rendezvous.
Launch a night attack during the evening celebration.
There should be two main Japs regiments gathered around the Pingdu area, as well as some garrison teams. If there are more people, they will have more ideas, and they definitely don't want to sit still and wait for death.
If someone suggests that they attack at night and we gradually reduce the number of security forces, do you think they will be fooled?"
Commander Xu smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. During this time, in order to raid our Jiaodong base area, the little devils have sent out a lot of spies and spies in advance. All we need to do here is raise the bonfire and spread the lively atmosphere.
Don’t be afraid that the little devil won’t believe it.”
Li Yunlong said: "That's great. I'm afraid the little devils in Shandong don't know how powerful I, Li Yunlong, am. Let them have a taste of it tonight!"
In this regard, Li Yunlong is full of confidence, except for the elite mobile troops he carries.
He knew very well, don't look at Lao Kong, Lao Ding ran away to Qingdao, and in fact the main force also came here secretly. As long as the Japanese attack overnight, Lao Kong and Lao Ding, those two guys who are good at seizing opportunities, will definitely steal the house.<
/p>
By then, not only had the Japs failed to successfully attack the Jiaodong base, but even the base camp had been stolen.
It can be said that stealing the chicken will lose the rice.
Once the Japs' mobile units that sneaked in were completely destroyed, the Japs in the counties, towns and towns in Jiaodong would be completely cut off from reinforcements. By then, they would have become a turtle in a urn, at the mercy of the Eighth Route Army.
……
Li Yunlong is a do-it-yourself character, and Commander Xu is also a hot-tempered general.
The two hit it off immediately and agreed on various combat plans and detailed arrangements for joint operations at a pre-war military meeting.
Preparations soon started as planned.
That night, the Jiaodong base area was bustling with excitement. News came out that the Eighth Route Army troops coming from Shanxi had successfully arrived at the Jiaodong base area and were celebrating grandly and holding a bonfire party in the Jiaodong base area.
In order to carry out a large-scale raid on the Jiaodong base area, the Japanese had already begun to collect intelligence on the Jiaodong base area, and even penetrated a large number of traitor spies in the Jiaodong base area. The news soon spread to the Japanese military headquarters.
The Japanese officers at the headquarters had different opinions on this piece of information. Some believed that this was an excellent opportunity to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Jiaodong base area in one fell swoop, while others said that the Eighth Route Army was extremely cunning and might have set a trap deliberately.<
/p>
In the end there was endless debate.
They are still two old Japanese captains. Perhaps it is because they have defeated the Eighth Route Army many times in the occupied areas in Shandong over the years, which gave them great confidence.
Even though they thought it was a bit risky, they decided to give it a try.
This is exactly the characteristic of gamblers among Japanese officers.
The North China side was defeated again and again. Even Commander-in-Chief Okabe was worried in the headquarters. The Japanese officers below, who had some backbone, were all thinking about winning a battle to save the face of the Japanese Empire. p>
These two old devils are no exception.
They quickly summoned commanders at all levels that night, and then formulated a night attack plan for the Jiaodong base area.
You know, it is not just the Eighth Route Army that is good at night raids. The Japanese army is also very good at night raids.
Even in the little devil's military training program, night raids are regarded as a very important item.
In this way, everything went as expected by Li Yunlong and Commander Xu.
It was learned that the Eighth Route Army in the Jiaodong base area and the Eighth Route Army from Shanxi successfully joined forces and were holding a bonfire party. In addition, the surrounding security forces were very sparse, so the Japanese army decided to attack.
That night.
The two sides engaged in a fierce confrontation.
Commander Xu and Li Yunlong are both "treacherous and slippery" people, and they are very skillful when it comes to how to deceive little Japanese.
After successfully luring the Japanese night attack troops over, the two followed the plan, first letting the soldiers who held a large-scale bonfire party deliberately show weakness to the enemy and defeat the battle, and then retreated to the core area of the base area to lure the Japanese troops deeper.<
/p>
The moonlight hangs high.
Seeing that the Japanese army, which had won the first battle, pursued them all the way without stopping, they fell into the ambush circle set up by Li Yunlong and Commander Xu along the base area in advance, catching the little Japanese by surprise.
Are these devils really stupid?
In the final analysis, I was harmed by my arrogance and eagerness to win.
Next is the reverse annihilation battle.
The mobile troops led by Li Yunlong, as well as the soldiers in the Jiaodong base area who had been simmering for many years after being blocked by the Japs for many years, fought bravely to fight the enemy. They relied on the cover of the night, their familiarity with the topography of the base area, and the traps that had been deployed in various places.
In the ambush circle, the little devil was beaten until he screamed.
The Japanese want to withdraw.
But in Li Yunlong's case, the so-called ambush battle is a battle of annihilation, and he will never let a little devil go.
The Japs originally dared to attack the Jiaodong base simply by relying on the so-called mobile troops they had on hand, carrying some mechanized vehicles that could quickly transport Japs soldiers to any location.
In addition, they carried a considerable number of artillery pieces through transport vehicles, which were used to carry out artillery attacks against the gathered forces of the Eighth Route Army after arriving at the designated target area.
According to the plan of the Japanese headquarters, even if a sneak attack on the Eighth Route Army's gathering troops failed, with the mobility of the Japanese army's mobile troops, they could easily get rid of the Eighth Route Army's pursuit and withdraw from the base area.
It's a pity that the Japanese underestimated the strength of the mobile unit Li Yunlong held.
The mobile troops of the little devils in the Jiaodong area are mostly military motorcycles, military transport vehicles, etc., but Li Yunlong has a large-scale armored force in his hands.
After Commander Xu led the soldiers in the Jiaodong base area to engage in a confrontation with the Japanese troops in the encirclement, Li Yunlong directly led the mobile troops and commanded the armored vehicles, cutting off several retreat routes for the Japanese mobile troops to evacuate in advance.
When several Japanese mobile troops escaped in embarrassment, they tried to escape from the Jiaodong base area, and then plunged into the chariot ambush circle Li Yunlong had set for them in advance.
The ensuing battle had almost no suspense and was completely a one-sided massacre.
When Commander Xu led his troops in pursuit, the fighting on Li Yunlong's side had already ended, leaving only the wreckage of Japanese mechanized vehicles and corpses on the ground.
Lao Li said even more airily: "The little devils here are really not that good. They are not highly mechanized, and they are over if they are not enough to beat!"
The words seemed to be bragging.
Until the war between the two sides continues.
After successfully killing the Japanese night attack troops, with the cooperation of Commander Xu and Li Yunlong, the troops advanced to the core area of Pingdu City.
The Japanese continued to retreat along the blockade to defend themselves.
Li Yunlong, who promised to put on a big show for the brother troops in the Jiaodong base area, was unambiguous at all.
Tanks and armored vehicles roared in one after another, and the covering troops advanced rapidly.
Encountered by the Japanese army along the way, they directly launched an artillery bombardment. Following the armored vehicles, there were even self-propelled artillery. Under the bombardment of large-caliber artillery, in the past, it required human lives to fill up and charge, which required a considerable price.
The broken blockade was like paper in front of the torrent of tanks and armored vehicles. It was broken with just one poke.
When the Japanese army saw the Eighth Route Army's ferocious offensive, they quickly gathered the two regiments and a large number of artillery reserves to build artillery positions, and launched artillery bombardments against the troops in the Jiaodong base area and Li Yunlong's mobile troops.
I saw Li Yunlong rushing directly to the communications headquarters and shouted: "Contact the Air Force Command immediately and say that I am Li Yunlong. My current location is Liu Town, in the east of the Jiaodong base area. Please ask for air fire reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible!"
Soon, the air force fire reinforcements belonging to the Eighth Route Army officially arrived, and following the guidance of the artillery tractors sent by Li Yunlong, they destroyed the artillery positions built by the Japanese concentrated artillery in one fell swoop.
Commander Xu watched with emotion as Lao Li's troops, with the cooperation of the air force and the tank troops covering the troops, broke through the Japanese positions all the way.
"This is true modern warfare!"
Looking around, the Japanese had built blockades and reinforced strongholds in advance in order to sweep the Jiaodong area. These strongholds, which had given Commander Xu a headache but had no choice but to deal with, were suddenly blown up by heavy bombs dropped by Eighth Route Army dive bombers.
Heaven.
The Japanese soon couldn't stand it any longer. The stronghold they had built for two or three months was destroyed by an air raid in just ten minutes.
The two old Japanese captains, who had originally looked arrogant and planned to attack the Jiaodong base area at night and even capture Commander Xu alive, were completely panicked. They could only order a retreat in embarrassment, shrinking the entire line of Pingdu City and holding on to the city.<
/p>
In order to defend the enemy from the front, the Japanese concentrated almost all their troops to the north of the city.
As a result, when the two sides were fighting in the north of the city, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's troops suddenly attacked from behind and directly broke through the city, completely destroying the Japanese, the last field mobile force in the Jiaodong area.
Commander Chen of the New Fourth Army, Commander Ye of the 115th Division, and Political Commissar Lao Luo, who came to watch the battle with Ding Wei's mobile unit, saw that the battle situation had been decided and said with a smile: "The overall situation in Shandong has been decided. Everyone can take a break and go back to consolidate the development of the base area.
Started production.
Ding Wei! You are amazing!"
Several people have not come back to their senses until now!
Originally facing the Japanese army's massive advance, Lao Luo led the main force of the LY Military Region and the main force of the Binhai Navy Region in the LY area, while Chen Bing led the northern part of LY.
The main force of the New Fourth Army in the northern Jiangsu area prepared together and decided to fight to the death with the Japanese 17th Division heading north in the Huaihe River area and the mobile group that was assisting the large number of puppet troops to reinforce the Shandong battlefield to block their northward advance.
Cooperate with Li Yunlong and Kong Jie’s siege in the Weixian area.
The powerful generals from all walks of life are even preparing to overhaul the fortifications, vowing to block the main force of the Japanese even if the entire army is annihilated!
As a result, the Japanese troops, who were deployed in multiple directions and advanced hand in hand, were still showing off their power under the cover of the Central China Air Force.
Then they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army Air Force late at night. The soldiers still followed the original recipe and gave the little devil a taste of its original flavor.
A large number of dive bombers, light bombers, medium bombers, and Japanese heavy artillery moved from the Japanese port in Rizhao area were bombarded. This was the first time that the Eighth Route Army obtained a brigade of Type 96 150mm cannons, as well as a large number of other types of cannons, all of which were in the port warehouse.
Seized.
Under head-on fire from long-range artillery, the captured Japanese's latest one-piece mid-range attack was launched to pursue them.
The Japanese did not even reach the blocking position, and this field mobile division was completely defeated.
During the follow-up pursuit, many were even captured alive by local people!
Finally, when the news came out, the Japanese advancing troops had been rapidly defeated. Lao Luo, Commander Chen, and Staff Officer Ye were dumbfounded on the spot when they learned the news.
Everyone found it a bit strange.
How was this battle fought?
In order to find out what happened, these generals shamelessly bumped into Ding Wei's military vehicle and rushed to Jiaodong to watch the battle. They wanted to see what methods the comrades of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area used and why this little devil was so muddy.
of?
Once this battle is over.
Everyone met in Pingdu City. Commander Xu, Commander Chen, Political Commissar Luo and others came to see the city defenses that had been shattered by the heavy bombs dropped by the air force. After seeing them, they looked at each other for a while.
Is this fighting or bullying?
They didn't even see each other, but there were a lot of air strikes and artillery attacks. When the armored troops advanced, the Japanese did not complete the fortifications to block them, and watched helplessly as their troops were divided, surrounded and annihilated.
"We never dared to think of such a battle before!" Lao Luo expressed what everyone was feeling.
At this point, the three parties of the Eighth Route Army successfully joined forces, and the whole city cheered.
