1941 passed, and Gao Hongming ushered in his second year in this world... 1942.
Sitting in his study, he was taking stock of what he had gained since coming into this world.
"There is still 3,872,300 yuan in money in the weapon exchange shop, and there is also gold worth 8.3 million US dollars and more than 2.2 million in oceans in the warehouse at home.
There is also Ma Yi, a co-owner of the Liantai Vigilante Group...well...I can't say this..."
Gao Hongming kept writing and drawing with a pen on his desk, counting his family fortune and the major events that were going to happen in his memory. However, the more he combed through it, the more he began to frown, because he found that what was happening now was different from his own.
There seems to be some deviation in memory.
In another time and space, after Okamura Neji took over the position of commander of the North China Front, after several months of planning, 10 divisions and 11 brigades should be mobilized to attack Shandong and Hebei starting from February this year.
The Eighth Route Army in Henan, NMG and other places carried out large-scale raids.
According to his memory, the Japanese army's raid was divided into two stages, lasted for nearly a year, and caused great losses to the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base areas.
In Liangjianli, Li Yunlong led the independent regiment to break into pieces and hide in XZ. Political commissar Zhao Gang was seriously injured. Li Yunlong himself also fell ill and started to show off. If Monk Wei and the soldiers had not fought tooth and nail to cover him, he would have been reimbursed.
But there has been no movement in the originally massive raids, which makes Gao Hongming puzzled. Why did Neji Okamura change his temper? Shouldn't he?
In fact, what Gao Hongming didn't know was that the history of his arrival had already changed a lot. The Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain made Neji Okamura realize the huge threat of the Liantai Militia. After nearly half a year of detailed research, Neji Okamura and the commander
The staff of the Ministry unanimously believed that if they wanted to deal with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, the Liantai Militia was an obstacle that could not be bypassed.
Based on Gao Hongming's relationship with the Eighth Route Army, once the Japanese army launched a large-scale raid on the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, Gao Hongming would never stand idly by. Therefore, if he wanted to deal with the Eighth Route Army, he had to deal with the Liantai militia. This was the biggest headache for Neji Gangmura.
Office of Ningji Gangcun, North China Front Headquarters, Peiping
A huge map of North China with a ratio of 100,000 to 1 was hung on the wall. Neji Okamura stood next to the map with his lips pursed, staring at the lower left corner of the map. If anyone is interested, that place is SX Province.
There were two people standing next to Neiji Okamura. One of them was Colonel Miyamoto Ichiro, the chief of the operations section of Neiji Okamura. The other was a man who had just been transferred from the position of commander of the 37th Division to the North China Front Army as chief of staff.
Twenty-three Lieutenant General Anda.
Adachi Twenty-san and Miyamoto Ichiro are aware of Neiji Okamura's concerns. In this sweep plan, troops from Shandong, Hebei, Henan, NMG and other places have all entered attack positions. Only the problem in Shanxi is that of Okamura Neiji.
Tsuji has been hesitant, and they all understand the reason for this, that is, Okamura Neji has never figured out how to deal with the Liantai vigilante group.
Okamura Neiji suddenly turned around and asked: "Adachi-kun, you fought against the Liantai Militia in Zhongtiao Mountain. What is your evaluation of this unit?"
When the Liantai Militia was mentioned, Anda Twenty-san showed a complicated look on his face.
Although more than half a year has passed since the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, he still vividly remembers the tragedy of that battle. In that battle, the Thirty-seventh Division he led went through a month of fierce fighting.
Two of the three infantry regiments were wiped out, and the artillery regiment was also crippled. If he hadn't strictly ordered not to attack without authorization, his 37th Division might have become the first division to be completely wiped out by the Chinese army.
group.
After this battle, he encountered a lot of criticism and pressure from the country. If Okamura Neiji had not resisted the pressure and recommended him to the base camp as the commander of the North China Front, I am afraid that he would have been assigned to the domestic reserve force by now.
Anda Twenty-Three thought for a while, "Your Excellency Commander, Gao Hongming is not as cunning and changeable as the Eighth Route Army. On the contrary, his tactics are very rigid. He always fights in a strict manner and relies on his air force and powerful firepower."
Advance slowly and don’t use any tactics of interspersed attacks.”
After hearing Adachi Twenty-san's evaluation, Okamura Neji and Miyamoto Ichiro did not feel happy, but frowned slightly.
Don't think that rigid or rigid tactics are derogatory terms. On the contrary, being rigid in military warfare means that the opponent rarely makes mistakes, does not like to take risks, and does not like to take risks. This means that the opponent likes to use tactics in battles.
Conspiracy also means that it is difficult for you to find the other party's loopholes
Ichiro Miyamoto added: "According to reports, Gao Hongming's troops have only been operating within a few hundred miles of Liantai Min County for more than half a year and rarely go out.
According to reports from agents lurking in Liantai County, for more than half a year since the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, this guy has been recruiting troops to expand his strength in Liantai County. So far, he has recruited four battalions of infantry and two battalions of infantry.
artillery.
Of course, the four expanded battalions of infantry and artillery from the Liantai Militia are simply not worth mentioning to us.
But what makes me most uneasy is that the air force of the Liantai Militia has also expanded in size. The Liantai Flying Group has been expanded into two groups, becoming a powerful regional air force with more than 180 advanced fighters.
It’s the place that most threatens me.”
"yes!"
Okamura Neji and Adachi Twenty-san looked at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
No matter how powerful the infantry's combat effectiveness is, it will be limited by mobility. You can't be in Shanxi today and rush to Shandong tomorrow, right?
Moreover, the Liantai militia had limited troops, and the destructive power it caused was still within a controllable range.
But the Air Force is different. The mobility of this branch is too strong. It can fight you in the air in Shanxi in the morning, and then go to Shandong to bomb your airport in the afternoon, making you unable to guard against it.
In the past two years, the Japanese army aviation and the Liantai Flying Group have fought dozens of times. In the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese Third Flying Group was almost crippled. After more than half a year of repairs and supplements, it barely regained its combat effectiveness.
Okamura Neiji and Adachi 23 thought over and over again, and finally decided to carry out the sweep of the Eighth Route Army as scheduled. But what is different from history is that this time Okamura Neiji specially mobilized two divisions to come to Shanxi, preparing to move from east to west.
Attacked Liantai County from two directions.
Okamura Neji's purpose is very clear. Even if he cannot eliminate the Liantai vigilante group, he cannot let Gao Hongming come out to cause trouble.
After repeated confirmation and consideration, Okamura Neji finally issued the order to start the sweep.
Soon, twelve divisions and eleven brigades, with more than 300,000 Japanese troops, began operations in Henan, Shandong, Hebei, NMG, Shanxi and other places, and a brutal sweep began.
