"Captain, according to the time agreed between us and the cavalry company, the cavalry company has been marching towards Qu County for nearly an hour. I don't know what the situation is like, whether the road is smooth or not."
Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan spoke, his expression full of worry.
Kong Jie was silent for a moment and said: "We should believe in Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian. They can definitely do it."
"Yes, they can definitely do it!"
After saying that, the two were silent. Kong Jie looked at the mountains in the distance. His eyes seemed to have spanned thousands of mountains and rivers, and fell on the cavalry company that was running towards Qu County.
The final breakthrough lies with the cavalry company.
At the same time as the cavalry company set off, the long-lost mechanical sound also sounded in Kong Jie’s ears:
"Trigger mission: surprise attack on Qu County and win in one fell swoop."
"Mission reward: an important Japanese military intelligence letter, choose any attribute 3."
……
Japanese Army Command.
The Japs' attention is now divided between the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Zhengtai Railway and Xiao'an Town.
The Eighth Route Army, while carrying out raids on railway lines, was also paying attention to the situation in Xiao'an Town.
The boss and brigade commander were scolding each other, but when it came time to help, they were unambiguous.
Although the main task this time is to attack the various transportation lines of the Japanese army, mainly the Zhengtai Railway, as well as large and small strongholds, it can easily capture one or two towns, which does not seem to be a bad thing for the Eighth Route Army.
Since we want to counterattack, we should counterattack thoroughly and kill the Japanese with great prestige.
For this reason, the reinforcements were rushing west from Xiao'an Town, that is, toward Ping'an County. The boss even gave an order to let all parties involved in the attack to withdraw some of their troops to block the reinforcements and indirectly support Li Yunlong's attack on Xiao'an Town.
At this time, Li Yunlong, who was attacking Xiaoan Town with great fanfare, suddenly transformed into a key figure in northwest Shanxi.
The Japanese army passed through the defense of Xiao'an Town, and the Eighth Route Army passed through Li Yunlong's attack. The two sides started a local contest in Xiao'an Town.
And this local competition is getting more intense.
In order to rescue the precarious town of Xiao'an, the Japanese army continued to dispatch reinforcements and increased reinforcements after constantly encountering obstacles.
On the Eighth Route Army's side, soldiers came to block it, and water came to cover it. The Japanese increased reinforcements, and we also increased the reinforcement team. Both sides invested more and more troops.
As the situation develops, it is even somewhat beyond the control of the headquarters of both parties.
Around the Xiao'an Town area, the forces of all parties are in a mess.
Now the little devil was even more confused. Did the Eighth Route Army, which suddenly launched a counterattack, come to attack towns or to attack railway lines?
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
Seeing that the situation in Xiao'an Town was developing in the predictable direction under his deliberate guidance, and when the time gradually matured, the boss did not hesitate and issued the latest order: "Build the plank road openly, covertly cover Chencang, and take advantage of the Japanese's attention to be attracted."
In the direction of Xiao'an Town, the rest of our troops immediately followed the headquarters' orders and launched attacks on large and small bridges, stations, railway tracks, and strongholds along the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway."
As the situation further developed, the strength of the Eighth Route Army exceeded the imagination of the Japanese army.
Even though the two sides were locked in a stalemate in the Xiao'an Town area, the Eighth Route Army was still able to free up a large number of troops and continue to conduct raids along the Zhengtai Railway.
Just such a time difference, a simple mobile battle, the Japanese army directly suffered a hidden loss.
Brigade Headquarters.
The brigade commander laughed happily, and after the laughter, there was a sad sigh, "The attack on the Zhengtai Railway was, to be honest, a major counterattack launched by us out of desperation, and it was destined to be an arduous and outstanding battle. p>
One is to break the Japanese army's cage policy and break the Japanese army's blockade and division of our Eighth Route Army base areas.
Secondly, in recent years, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War has continued to deteriorate. As far as the situation in Shanxi is concerned, the Japanese army, puppet army, reactionaries, and capitulationists have become increasingly rampant, and the trend of compromise with Japan has become more and more widespread.
This battle is not only fought for our Eighth Route Army itself, but also for the entire Second Theater Zone. The purpose is to alert, curb or even prevent this tendency of compromising with Japan.
So we have to fight. Considering that the so-called cage policy of the Japanese army relies on railways and roads to give full play to the mobility advantages of their mechanized troops, then we must completely destroy their road lines and railway lines to allow their mobility.
Sexual advantage is completely lost.
Our enemy is very powerful, with strong troops and good equipment. The so-called cage policy has almost made the entire defense of North China airtight. However, as long as it is a so-called defense, there will always be flaws, and the Japanese cage policy is no exception. The Japanese built a large number of bunkers along railways and highways. Since the establishment of the Japanese stronghold, the number of Japanese bunkers and strongholds has increased greatly. Take our Eighth Route Army guerrilla zone as an example, just in the northwest of Shanxi, the number of bunkers and strongholds has probably exceeded
Thousands.
But because of this, it exposed a weakness of the Japanese.
What's the weakness? Bunkers and strongholds are dead, and it's impossible for the Japanese to run around carrying bunkers and strongholds on their backs.
In addition, the Japs need to send troops to garrison these strongholds and bunkers. One stronghold may not require many Japanese troops, but if you add up ten, one hundred, or one thousand strongholds, the number of troops required is huge.
, even the little devils are still stretched thin in terms of military strength.
The more bunkers and strongholds built by the Japs, the more dispersed their forces will be, which is conducive to our local strategy of using more to attack fewer.
At this time, our army suddenly launched a counterattack. How many mobile troops can the Japanese army deploy to deal with us?
If we continue to use mobile warfare tactics to fight the Japanese army, the Japanese army will inevitably fall into fatigue and difficulty between garrisoning strongholds and mobile operations. Isn't this the biggest weakness of the seemingly powerful Japanese army?
In addition, Li Yunlong made such a fuss in Xiao'an Town, which attracted a large part of the Japanese army's attention. This is the perfect opportunity for our army to take the opportunity to launch mobile warfare and destroy the Japanese army's railway and highway lines."
The political commissar smiled and said: "I have to admit that this guy Li Yunlong is a lucky general."
The brigade commander said: "As soon as the attack on the other side of us has begun, the Japanese army will definitely come back to their senses soon.
The fortifications surrounding Xiaoan Town cannot be delayed.
Li Yunlong has delayed in Xiaoan Town for too long. Once the Japanese army continues to invest more reinforcements, we will either have to passively evacuate and abandon Xiaoan Town, or we will be forced to start a decisive battle with the Japanese army around Xiaoan Town.
This is inconsistent with our original intention."
"Yes, I hope Li Yunlong can move faster!" said the political commissar.
The brigade commander said with a headache: "What I'm more worried about now is that according to Li Yunlong's temperament, if he can't eat Xiaoan Town, this kid will never give up.
In a short period of time, Li Yunlong's attack on Xiao'an Town can attract the attention of the Japanese army and indirectly cover the attack operations of troops from other directions.
But once the time is too long, the situation may get out of control. If you think about it carefully, Li Yunlong suddenly thought of attacking Xiao'an Town, but it was a mistake!"
The political commissar said: "In this way, when there is really no other way, we can only issue a death order for Li Yunlong to retreat."
"That's all we can do." The brigade commander said helplessly...
