Jiang Cheng got the news of the war between Germany and France on the march. On January 1, 1941, on a snowy and windy day, the German army gathered more than 6,000 fighter planes of various types, tens of thousands of artillery pieces, and 4,000 vehicles.
Armored vehicles and tanks, about three million troops raided France. The troops were divided into three groups and rushed to Belgium, the Netherlands, France and other places. When Jiang Cheng got the news, the Netherlands was ready to surrender, and the royal family began to flee to London.
And Belgium is retreating, and it seems that surrender is only a matter of time. In France, more than 3.5 million British and French troops are waiting, and more than 3 million of them are deployed near the Maginot Line, waiting hard.
With the German attack.
This is France's way of fighting World War I - positional warfare.
Cars sparkling, horses Xiaoxiao, there are only stars and moon in the dark night sky but no annoying sun planes. Of course, the winter wind at night also makes pedestrians tremble on the road. On the road, countless Eighth Route Army soldiers rush
Road, due to limited trains, most of the troops still had to rely on their feet. In order to show that the officers and soldiers were integrated, Lin Sanhu did not get on the train. Instead, he asked Nie Rongzhen to lead the troops by train and launch an attack on Tengzhou as the vanguard. By this time, Tengzhou had been recovered.
, the troops continue to move north.
"203, is it cold?" Lin Sanhu and others rushed up and asked Jiang Cheng, who was reading the telegram with a flashlight on the side of the road.
"Fortunately, are the soldiers okay?" Jiang Cheng looked at the Eighth Route Army on the road. In this era, some luxurious cotton-padded clothes were no longer popular in later generations. More people chose light down jackets instead of heavy cotton-padded clothes.
Putting together an order for hundreds of thousands of cotton-padded clothes in a few days would really be a rarity in China in later generations, but in this era it is enough to make all logistics managers scratch their heads.
"This is many times better than when we first arrived in Shaanxi." The soldier next to him heard Jiang Cheng asking and shouted loudly. In one sentence, you can tell that this is an old Red Army soldier. These precious seeds have become more and more mature.
There are fewer and fewer, but fortunately these seeds have sprouted and grown. Even the most basic soldiers in the Red Army in the past are now very few who are not squad leaders.
"That's good! Comrades, speed up! When daybreak comes, there will be beef soup to drink!" Jiang Cheng waved his hand and shouted loudly. The soldiers responded loudly and their footsteps became faster.
"Mr. Lin, look, France and Germany are finally at war." With that said, Jiang Cheng handed the telegram to Lin Sanhu.
Lin Sanhu looked at it and said with a smile, "France and Germany are indeed world powers, with six million troops..."
"Commander Lin, who do you think will win this war?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously. Looking at the outcome of the war between France and Germany, no one would have thought that France would be defeated so miserably.
"Germany will definitely win." Lin Sanhu said with a smile.
"Why?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"It is true that one way of fighting in war is to defend and counterattack, but how can one defend for nearly a year? Moreover, the power of the French defense line has long been boasted by them as invincible. Wouldn't the German army pay attention? Now that Germany dares to take the initiative to attack, is it possible?
Aren't they fully prepared? What about the French army? I didn't see any changes in their movements in the telegrams. They seem to firmly believe that the German army will crash into their defense lines... The French... are out of date.
Yes!" Lin Sanhu shook his head with a smile, his eyes full of contempt.
Indeed, the French army, known as the best army in the world, has been immersed in this title for too long. Both its tactics and strategic thinking have become somewhat decadent. However, it would be an exaggeration to say that France is completely outdated. The advanced equipment of the French army
Still standing at the top of the world.
Jiang Cheng smiled, nodded and put away the telegram, looked into the distance and said, "Neji Okamura should have started to move, right? It has been five days since we captured Zaozhuang, and it has been two days since Tengzhou was captured.
, the vanguard has arrived in Jining, no matter how slow you are, you should have discovered that our main force is in the west, right?"
Lin Sanhu bit a soybean and said, "The pressure in Linyi is increasing, but this just shows that Okamura Neji is panicking. I believe Xiao Hua can hold on. As long as he reaches Jining and sees our troops, Okamura
Even if Neji doesn’t believe in evil, he still understands that he made a mistake in judgment.”
Lin Sanhu still underestimated Okamura Neiji. After Okamura Neiji learned about the fall of Tengzhou, he realized that he had been tricked by Lin Sanhu. Zaozhuang could also be said to have fallen due to carelessness and underestimation of the enemy and the lack of troops due to internal and external cooperation. So, then
There were 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops in Tengzhou behind. They only lasted less than 24 hours and were defeated. If this wasn't the main force of the Eighth Route Army, what was it?
Lin Sanhu is going north?
Okamura Neiji looked at the map and couldn't figure out what Lin Sanhu wanted to do and where their destination was. Okamura Neiji did not blame Kawamoto, Yuan Shu, Kawashima Yoshiko and others for being captured alive.
According to the Eighth Route Army and the people, Okamura Neiji had already received the news that Lin Sanhu had indeed appeared in Linyi, so Okamura Neiji only admired Lin Sanhu's ability to release false information, and did not doubt whether there was a traitor around him.
.
"Commander, there is a call from the Linyi front line. The enemy's fighting will is extremely strong, their firepower is extremely fierce, and their ammunition is sufficient. Almost every position is fought to the last man. If we want to completely defeat the enemy's position, I am afraid it will take three days of all-out attack.
"A staff officer came in to report.
"Three days? Does it take three more days to defeat a 10-to-1 combat power ratio?" Okamura Neji glared at the staff officer, but he also knew that blaming the staff officer was unreasonable. He took a breath and said, "Tell them,
Opposite them are just the remnants of the enemy's soldiers! They are abandoned! I only give him three days, don't worry about the lives of the soldiers, and launch a desperate attack with a fearless spirit. I will mobilize all aviation forces to support them!"
"Hi!"
Okamura Neiji looked at Jining. It was one of the most important cities in Shandong. Could that be where Lin Sanhu's purpose was? No, Lin Sanhu's purpose would definitely not be that simple... Where was that?
Okamura Neiji stroked his beard and reorganized his thinking. The most important thing in war is to achieve the strategic goal. His goal is to completely eliminate the Red Party forces outside Shandong, and Lin Sanhu's strategic goal is to prevent him from achieving his strategic goal.
, what’s the key? - With that 200,000-strong army, all I can rely on is the 200,000-strong army. Without these troops, Shandong’s public security plan would be a piece of paper!
Okamura Neji felt that he seemed to understand something. He continued to look at the map - Zaozhuang, Tengzhou, Linyi... Could it be that Lin Sanhu's purpose was to flank our army and cause our army to be defeated?
If in Jiang Cheng's original time and space, Okamura Neji would never have thought that Lin Sanhu's power would defeat his 200,000-strong army. Even if Chiang's intermediary 500,000-strong Central Army could not do it, but in this
In time and space, the Eighth Route Army has already performed miracles one after another. Who would have thought during the Battle of Shanxi that the Eighth Route Army would defeat tens of thousands of Japanese troops in one battle? In Suiyuan, who would have believed that the Eighth Route Army could use tanks to launch surprise attacks? No Japanese general would dare to do so now.
He patted his chest and said how little strength the Eighth Route Army had. Although Neji Okamura was a little bit worried about this, it still had some truth. It was just that Lin Sanhu knew his own strength very well, and Lin Sanhu had a stable personality.
He was unwilling to fight a battle that was too risky. Even if it was a flat pass, it was fought under the premise of a certain victory, so Lin Sanhu did not choose to fight directly. Of course, this was also the reason why Okamura Neiji did not understand Lin Sanhu's combat thoughts.
Okamura Neiji felt that he understood Lin Sanhu's intention, and began to rearrange his troops. He ordered the Linyi front line to mobilize some troops to the west to prepare for Lin Sanhu's attack. On the other side, Jining and other places were also allowed to concentrate on defense, and no one was allowed to attack.
lose.
——Qufu
"The little Japanese actually ran away?" Lin Sanhu looked at the Eighth Route Army that had entered the city and felt baffled. Shouldn't he try his best to stop him now?
"Why do I think Okamura Neji and our ideas are wrong?" Lin Sanhu said to Jiang Cheng with a smile.
"Haha, we have become an armed march now?" Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Then don't be polite and continue to speed up the north!"
Lin Sanhu nodded and said, "Order the troops to divide into two groups. The next thing is one word! Hurry!!!"
On January 3, the 115th Division conquered Qufu and Yanzhou on the same day. On the 4th, it attacked Ningyang and Wenshang County at night. It attacked Dongpingliang Mountain at dawn and broke through the city at noon. A photo of the county town with the blue sky and white sun flag was sent to Gangcun.
Looking at the invisible marching troops in Neji's hands, Okamura Neji realized that he had thought wrong again. Lin Sanhu was definitely not going to attack from the side, but to go north, no matter where Lin Sanhu was going.
, his goal of completely wiping out the Eighth Route Army was almost equal to failure. If he sat back and watched Lin Sanhu's strategic shift, he might become the second Chiang Kai-shek intermediary. You must know that the story of the Long March was only a few years old.
"Quick! Quick! Just leave Wu Peifu's troops in Linyi. Our main force will turn back immediately and must stop Lin Sanhu!" Okamura Neiji urgently ordered. Of course, it was said that only Wu Peifu would be left in Linyi, but except for Huang Xie
Of the 30,000 to 40,000 troops of the Japanese army, Okamura Neiji still left a brigade of Japanese troops to continue attacking Linyi, but the intensity was reduced a lot, but Xiao Hua's defensive strength was almost exhausted. At this time, even he himself had taken
He raised his machine gun and stood on the front line. Seeing the Japanese army begin to retreat, Xiao Hua seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to the ground. He had not closed his eyes for several days. He smiled bitterly and said, "Damn, this little devil won't do it again."
Withdraw, I don’t even want him to fight me, I’m so sleepy.”
"There are still some Japs left. They haven't escaped all. By the way, I have good news. Do you want to hear it?" Peng Mingzhi, who was also exhausted, crawled over and said with a smile.
"Good news? Tell me." Xiao Hua forced himself not to fall asleep and took out a cigarette with one hand and asked.
"The four regiments of the New Fourth Army are coming up, hey! The handover hasn't happened yet, don't sleep!" Peng Mingzhi looked at Xiao Hua, who fell asleep with a cigarette in his mouth before he lit it, and shouted with a wry smile.
Indeed, the Japanese army's continuous attacks in the past few days have made everyone feel too tired. If it were not for the fortifications excavated previously, I am afraid that they would not be able to defend this time.
Okamura Neiji's troops began to chase Lin Sanhu north. After Lin Sanhu got the news that the Linyi crisis had been resolved, not only did he not slow down, but he accelerated the attack again after telling the troops the good news.
Speed. On January 6th, Taiqian County was recovered on the night of January 6th. On the night of the 7th, Lin Sanhu's troops began to cross the Yellow River on the pontoon bridge created by Jiang Cheng. In the early morning of the 8th, they launched an attack on Taiqian.
At seven o'clock, Taiqian County was liberated. Lin Sanhu made full use of rocket launchers and the iron base of the Eighth Route Army, allowing Okamura Neiji to feel for the first time the power of the blitzkrieg he had always admired. What even more frightened Okamura Neiji was that Pingyin was far away from Jinan.
It's not far away, which means that Lin Sanhu can launch an attack on Jinan at any time, and in Jinan, the garrison troops are only ten thousand people. Facing the invincible 115th Division, Okamura Neiji has already lost
Relying on the confidence that these ten thousand people could repulse Lin Sanhu's attack, Okamura Neiji sent an urgent message to the Japanese troops to quickly move closer to Jinan, and first repelled Lin Sanhu's fierce attack before talking about anything else. What Okamura Neiji didn't know was that his order
Just after going down, it only took an hour for it to appear in Lin Sanhu's hands.
Lin Sanhu looked at the deciphered Japanese telegram and smiled. This was what he was waiting for. He said to the communications soldier, "Order the troops to attack Liaocheng together!"
The biggest mistake Okamura Neiji made was to underestimate the Eighth Route Army's desire to attack. Okamura Neiji had always faced the National Army, and the National Army's central idea in the entire war was how to defend its position, while the Eighth Route Army
At the beginning of the war, there was no place to defend. All their bases were opened up with swords and guns. So when Okamura Neiji crushed the Eighth Route Army to Linyi, Okamura Neiji felt that Lin Sanhu must be in trouble.
He was thinking hard about how to hold the position, but Lin Sanhu was thinking about how to eat these 200,000 living forces. 200,000 was too much to eat? How about eating 10,000 to 10,000? Now Lin Sanhu is fighting everywhere.
, but did not leave a single soldier to guard the rear. This is the reason. In Lin Sanhu's eyes, these defenders are also meat, and they are real if they are eaten. And those cities are a burden, so they should be left to the Japanese army until they return.
If you overdo it and eat it a few times, the Japanese army will be gone.
With different strategic ideas, the two of them would naturally not want to go together.
——Yan'an
"Good! What a good fight!" Chairman Mao looked at the telegram sent by Lin Sanhu and exclaimed happily, "Lin Sanhu is good at this flinging strategy. You go to my side, and I'll come to yours."
Bian, you hit yours, I'll hit mine!"
Mr. Zhu, who stayed in Yan'an waiting for news, nodded and said, "Yes, Okamura Neji's great iron wall attack was made by us, and now there are holes everywhere. Now Okamura Neji's troops are constantly chasing behind Lin Sanhu.
Lin Sanhu is such a bad guy! When retreating, he did not forget to lay landmines and blow up railways, which made the Japanese army unable to get up quickly. I heard that Okamura Neji was shocked three times a day in Jinan!"
Chairman Mao smiled and said, "Okay! It's indeed good! But we fought well, but Hitler in Germany fought even better."
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Indeed, the battle between Germany and France has been decided."
