The orders of the two old Japanese soldiers were quickly passed on. The Japanese soldiers who had already hid in the woods beside the road also returned to the road. However, they no longer dared to march forward in four columns. Instead, they followed the air defense regulations.
It became a zigzag shape, which was also to minimize the lethality of enemy aircraft's strafing.
In addition to changing the formation of the march, machine guns were also set up to fire into the air.
After more than half an hour of chaos, the enemy fighter jets in the sky finally began to return.
Watching the enemy fighter jets go away one after another and finally disappear at the end of the field of vision, the two old Japanese soldiers Minamoto Yoshige and Nagumo Kinichiro breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yuan Yizhong wiped his cold sweat and said with lingering fear: "It seems that the Chahar Independent Regiment has not had time to repair the military airport in Datong. Otherwise, if their fighter jets take off from Datong, they will only be able to fly to Yixian County.
The distance is less than 200 kilometers, and the time in the air cannot be so short."
Nagumo Kinichiro nodded and said: "This can be considered a blessing among misfortunes."
While the two old devils were talking, smoke and dust suddenly rose on the road in the direction they came from.
"Well, are there any other troops coming?" Nagumo Chiichiro hummed, and then he raised his telescope and looked in the direction where he came from. After seeing it, he couldn't help but said with joy, "Minamoto Yoshi-kun, it seems
It’s a garrison chariot convoy!”
After hearing this, Minamoto Yoshitaka quickly raised his telescope and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw it: "It's really a garrisoned chariot fleet!"
The garrison battle convoy is an armored unit directly under the North China Front Army Headquarters.
In fact, the armored forces directly under the North China Front also include the 8th Tank Regiment, as well as the 1st, 5th, 10th and 12th Independent Tank Squadrons. However, in order to organize the armored corps of the Far East Front, tanks
The Eighth Regiment and four independent tank squadrons have been transferred away, and now the entire North China Front has only one garrisoned tank team left.
The garrison combat convoy is a regiment-level organization, but its scale is relatively small. It only has two combat vehicle squadrons, a Type 95 light tank squadron, equipped with eighteen Type 95 light tanks; and a Type 97 light tank.
The squadron is equipped with twelve Type 97 light tanks, in addition to a maintenance team and a motorized infantry squadron.
The North China Front Army Headquarters sent all the garrisoned combat convoys over, which shows that they are really anxious.
However, the arrival of the garrisoned chariot fleet also gave Minamoto Yoshishige and Nagumo Kinichiro greater confidence. Otherwise, they really would not have the confidence to recapture Bauhinia Pass before the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment arrived!
At that moment, the two old devils got on their horses and rushed forward excitedly.
…
News of the tragic defeat in the Yi County air battle soon spread back to Peiping.
After receiving the report, Anan Weiji's face instantly became extremely gloomy.
He Zhongzhi, the leader of the Third Flying Regiment, looked extremely embarrassed. He had actually thought that the result of the air battle would not be ideal, but he still did not expect such a disastrous defeat!
Such a disastrous defeat made He Zhongji's resentment completely explode.
At that moment, He Zhongzhi said to Anami Weiji: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have long said that the base camp will transfer all the veteran pilots of the Third Flying Group with combat experience. This approach is questionable, because no one wants to
I can guarantee that the Chinese will never rebuild their air force, but something happened!"
"Congratulations, sir, you'd better say less." Anan shook his head and said, "You can't blame the base camp for this. Who would have thought before that the Soviets not only assisted the Chahar Independent Regiment with hundreds of
fighter jets, and also sent over all the ace pilots who had just participated in the Soviet-Finnish War?"
He Zhongzhi groaned and said nothing again.
Anami Weiji turned to Kanemitsu Keijiro and said: "Kanemitsu-kun, it seems that it is necessary to make some modifications to the previously drawn up emergency plan, because in the next battle, the North China Front is likely to be forced to lose air superiority.
Then they faced off against the Chahar Independent Regiment, which greatly increased the difficulty of the battle."
"Hai." Kanemitsu Kejiro paused and said, "I'll make some changes right now."
Watching Kanemitsu Keijiro leave, Anami turned around and asked Kasahara Yukio, Chief of Staff of the North China Front: "Kasahara-kun, is there anything unusual in the Eighth Route Army guerrilla zones in North China today?"
The guerrilla zones that the Japanese call them are actually the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.
"Hai." Kasahara Yukio said after a pause, "According to reliable information, the North China Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Guerrilla Zone, Shanxi-Sui Guerrilla Zone and Taiyue Guerrilla Zone have all taken action upon hearing the news. There are at least more than a hundred regiments of troops.
It is gathering rapidly, especially the Eighth Route Army in the guerrilla zone in central Hebei, which has the largest concentration."
After a pause, Kasahara Yukio continued: "In addition to North China, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in Shandong, the Central China Army in Henan and Zhongtiao Mountains, and the China-Shinsui Army in northwest Shanxi have all taken action."
Anan Weiji said solemnly: "It seems that it's all about the smell."
Kasahara Yukio said in a deep voice: "Don't pay attention to the China Central Army in Henan and Zhongtiao Mountain. They may not make any moves. Even if they do make moves, they will only seize the opportunity to seize territory and will not pose much of a threat to the imperial army.
However, the gathering of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas and the Shanxi-Sui Army cannot be ignored, especially the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in central Hebei, which pose the greatest threat!"
"Baga." Anan Wei cursed out from between his teeth, but a word suddenly flashed through his mind: The storm is rising! The entire North China Front Army's defense area is already turbulent.
…
Taihang Mountain, General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Boss Peng walked into the war room in a hurry and asked in a characteristic loud voice: "What do you say? Another county town has been liberated by us?"
Commander Zuo, who was working with the combat staff on the map, immediately smiled and said: "Boss, your news is behind. Which county? Three more county towns have just been liberated by our army. So far, our army has liberated
There are already six county towns, and almost the entire northern Shanxi has been recovered by us."
After a pause, Commander Zuo continued: "In addition to the county town, the troops along the Baoda Highway also took the opportunity to remove more than fifty strongholds and annihilated more than 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops. The results were great!"
Mr. Peng exclaimed in surprise. When he looked at it carefully, the northern Shanxi area on the map was indeed filled with small red flags representing the Eighth Route Army. Now the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Base Area and the Shanxi-Sui Base Area were directly connected into one piece. This way
As a result, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the anti-war situation in the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei.
At that moment, Boss Peng asked again: "Have all the troops along the Baoding-Dingda-Tong Highway been mobilized?"
"Everyone is in action," Commander Zuo said excitedly, "and they have begun to demolish the Japanese gun towers along the line, and the whole process is very smooth. The puppet troops in these gun towers and strongholds are all scared out of their wits, and the Japanese in various counties and cities along the line are scared.
They are all unable to retreat and can only passively wait for me to defeat them one by one."
Mr. Peng scratched his head and said, "This is really weird. All of a sudden, the Japanese can no longer fight. In the past, when we tried to demolish a Japanese artillery tower or stronghold, we would always attract crazy siege from the surrounding Japanese, sometimes even even
The Japs from Taiyuan and Baoding will rush over to reinforce, which can really affect the whole body. But now the little Japs feel like their brains have been kicked by a donkey. The Japs in every stronghold and every county can only cower.
I don’t even dare to leave the door.”
Commander Zuo smiled and said: "Boss, this is because the Chahar Independent Group puts too much pressure on the Japanese."
"Yes, the Chahar Independent Regiment's offensive is really fierce!" Boss Peng nodded and stared at the map and said, "Since the launch of the attack, it only took one day and night to complete the attack, and it has already advanced three hundred miles.
We have already reached Lingqiu! If we continue with this momentum, we might be able to push it all the way to Beiping!"
"It's really possible." Commander Zuo nodded with deep understanding, and added, "But I've never seen such a strategy of disregarding the retreat and logistical support. This guy Xu Rui is really brave."
"What you said is wrong. Who said that Xu Rui doesn't care about his retreat or logistical support?" Mr. Peng said, "There are dozens of base areas in North China, 400,000 troops, and 50 million people. That is their retreat, that is.
Their general logistics! Immediately notify all bases along the route and do their best to ensure the logistics supplies of the Chahar Independent Regiment."
"Okay." Commander Zuo said, "I'll make arrangements right now."
…
Zhongtiao Mountain, South Route Army Headquarters in the World War II Zone.
Wei Lihuang, the commander-in-chief of the South Route Army, was standing in front of the map and exclaimed: "Gee, the Chahar Independent Regiment's offensive is really fierce. In such a short time, it has already advanced to Lingqiu County! The entire Shanxi Province
The little devil was beaten like a quail by them, and he could only huddle in his lair and tremble, not even daring to come out of the door!"
Guo Jiqiao, chief of staff of the South Route Army, said sincerely: "The Chahar Independent Regiment is so powerful. If I were the commander of the North China Front Army Anan Weiji, I would not let the Shanxi Japs leave my defense area easily. It is not that I would not save them.
But even if you go there, you won’t be able to save them at all, and you will get yourself involved. The current Chahar Independent Regiment is really blocking the gods and killing the gods. How can the Buddha stop killing the Buddha!"
"Yes." Wei Lihuang nodded and added, "But now, the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi has taken advantage of it. Why don't they take this opportunity to attack from all sides? In less than three days, all the Japanese artillery towers in northern Shanxi will be destroyed.
, strongholds, and even the county towns where the Japs are heavily garrisoned, will be eaten clean by them."
"There is no doubt about this, but it is only a temporary phenomenon after all." Guo Jiqiao shook his head and said, "The key to this battle lies in the Chahar Independent Regiment. If the offensive of the Chahar Independent Regiment can be sustained, it will really be possible."
Push all the way to the city of Peiping, or even capture Peiping, then the entire North China will become the Communist Party's world, but..."
