Under Rommel's urging, Yamashita Fengfumi finally did not cause any trouble.
Yamashita Fengwen resisted the fatal temptation to capture the city and took the territory, and resolutely led the armored group north along the railway to take Birobidzhan. Of course, he did not just leave Khabarovsk alone, but left two divisions plus one.
The armored division attacked and advanced from the north bank of Heilongjiang in the direction of Khabarovsk, but this partial division only played a diversionary role.
In fact, the Chahar Independent Regiment and the North China Front are also racing against time.
The North China Front has completely given up its illusions and decided to defend Beiping and the Chahar Independent Regiment. It has also built a chain of fortifications surrounding Beiping. Of course, this does not mean that the Japanese will really be beaten passively. In fact,
Anand Weiji has given a death order to the First Army in Shanxi, asking Ando Jili to mobilize a mixed brigade no matter what, and do his best to cut off the logistics supply line of the Chahar Independent Regiment.
After receiving the order to kill Anami Yuki, Yoshiki Ando discussed with Chief of Staff Nobuchi Kushibuchi and handed over this arduous task to the independent mixed fourth brigade stationed in Yangquan.
After receiving the order from Yoshiki Ando, the brigade commander of the Fourth Independent Brigade, Haruyoshi Hyakutake, was worried because the Fourth Independent Brigade was responsible for the traffic safety of the Shotai Railway and only dealt with the Eighth Route Army along the railway.
The guerrillas are already stretched thin, so where are the extra troops to be deployed to intercept the Chahar Independent Regiment's logistical supply lines?
Hyakutake Haruyoshi had no choice but to send a telegram to Ando Yoshiki, saying that he really could not mobilize troops to go there.
In fact, Yoshiki Ando didn't want to waste any more time, so he forwarded Hyakutake Haruyoshi's telegram intact to Anami Yuki.
After receiving the telegram, Anami was so angry that he cursed. He immediately passed over Ando Yoshiki and gave an order directly to Momotake Haruyoshi, ordering the independent mixed fourth brigade to leave a brigade to guard Yangquan. The main force of the brigade passed directly through Pingshan and Fuping.
They attacked in the direction of Lingqiu and Laiyuan County, and were strictly ordered not to get entangled with the Eighth Route Army guerrillas on the way.
Anami Weiji listened to Kanemitsu Keijiro's suggestion, and his intention was very clear, which was to block Puyin Trail again through the independent mixed fourth brigade, because if the Chahar Independent Regiment wants to transport supplies from Baotou, it must pass through Puyin
path, so as long as the Puyin Path is cut off, the opponent's supply line will also be cut off.
Of course, the independent mixed fourth brigade tasked with this arduous task will definitely not have good results. In the end, this brigade will definitely be completely overwhelmed by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas swarming in from all directions, but as long as Chahar's independence can be cut off,
The regiment's logistics supply line is completely worth sacrificing a mixed brigade!
Doing this is a typical tactic of losing the car to save the commander.
After receiving the order directly from the North China Front Army Headquarters, Hyakutake Haruyoshi did not dare to shirk the responsibility anymore, and immediately left the 11th Independent Infantry Battalion to guard Yangquan, and then led the main force of the brigade to rush northward.
…
In Datong, outside the city.
At this time, Datong has become a huge material transfer station.
In fact, before launching the blitzkrieg, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng had already transported a large amount of combat preparation materials to the Suidong, Suizhong and Suinan base areas for storage.
Wang Husheng was very dissatisfied with this, because at that time no one knew who the real target of the Japs was. If the Japs were targeting the Chahar Independent Regiment, then Xu Rui's behavior of smuggling a large amount of war preparation materials to various base areas for storage,
It is very dangerous and may very well lead to the loss of Baotou!
But the final facts proved that Xu Rui's judgment was correct, the enemy's target was the Soviet army!
Immediately afterwards, the Chahar Independent Regiment launched a blitzkrieg against North China, starting from Youyu County.
It should be noted that after the Chahar Independent Regiment launched the attack, the supplies accompanying the army were shipped directly from Baotou, and the batch of military supplies stored in various bases in Suiyuan were not used. Xu Rui was preparing for a rainy day and preparing for the future.
Try to gain as much time as possible for the transfer of the second batch of military supplies.
Otherwise, it is more than 600 miles from Baotou to Datong, and the civilian team can travel 50 miles a day at the fastest, and it will take at least more than ten days. When the Chahar Independent Regiment is in urgent need of military supplies, they will transport supplies from Baotou, fearing that the day lilies will be cold.
Because there is still a 400-mile road from Datong to Yixian County, and we have to cross the Taihang Mountains in the middle.
After the supplies arrive in Yi County, they will be picked up by the mule and horse convoy of the Chahar Independent Regiment.
Therefore, in the entire material transfer process, the most time-consuming part is the section from Baotou to Datong.
For this reason, Xu Rui had already stored supplies in various base areas in Suidong, Suinan, and Suizhong, so that the second batch of military supplies could be shipped directly from Datong.
Then immediately after He Guangming's battalion captured Datong, Wang Husheng began to mobilize the civilians in the Suiyuan base area to transfer supplies from the Suidong, Suizhong, and Suinan base areas to Datong. However, the number of civilians in Suiyuan was still small.
, can only guarantee the transfer of materials to Datong.
Fortunately, at this time, the head of the headquarters mobilized 200,000 civilians from various base areas and rushed to Datong!
Starting from yesterday evening, people from all over the city began to arrive in an endless stream outside Datong City.
However, what is sad is that most of these civilian husbands are old people, women, and even children.
At this moment, Wang Husheng was holding a large box of bullets, but he refused to put it on the back of the old man in front of him.
Because this old man looks to be over seventy years old, his once straight back has become rickety, his chiseled face and forehead are also covered with years of vicissitudes, and the calluses on his hands tell the story of the hardships of life.
It was not easy, and more importantly, the old man still had bare feet, and he didn’t even have a pair of shoes in the winter.
"Old man," Wang Husheng choked and said, "Why don't you go?"
"What are you talking about?" The old man turned around in a hurry, glared at Wang Husheng unhappily, and said, "Even though I am old, I am very strong. Old Huang Zhong can still fight at the age of seventy. Although I am not as good as Huang Zhong."
I am loyal, but I just carry a few boxes of bullets to the front line, but it is still not a problem. Hurry up, the troops on the front line are still waiting for bullets to fight the Japanese."
After finishing speaking, the old man turned around again, bent down, and patted himself on the back.
Without saying a word, Wang Husheng took off his cloth shoes and handed them to the old man, saying, "Old man, put these shoes on." Fearing that the old man would not accept it, Wang Husheng added, "If you don't want to wear shoes,
, Where did you come from, or where are you going back to, we will never let you stand barefoot!"
The old man hesitated for a moment and took Wang Husheng's cloth shoes.
Just after seeing off the old man, Wang Husheng welcomed another young woman.
The young woman was young and strong, with no physical problems, but her chest was wrapped in a swaddling clothes, and there was a baby lying in the swaddling clothes.
Wang Husheng then advised: "Sister, you still have the child with you. The road is full of mountains and rivers, so don't knock the child."
"It's okay, it's okay." The young woman blushed slightly, shook her head and said, "It's really okay, I'm very strong."
After finishing speaking, the young woman was afraid that Wang Husheng would not believe what she said, so she picked up a wooden box filled with heavy machine gun bullets from the pile of supplies, and then easily carried it on her shoulders.
As soon as the young woman left, Wang Husheng turned around and saw a half-grown child standing in front of him.
This child is not as tall as Wang Husheng's waist. He looks so thin and small that he can fall down if the wind blows!
"Little brother, please don't go." Wang Husheng touched the child's head and said sadly, "There are more than 400 miles of mountain road between Datong and Yixian County, and we have to cross the Taihang Mountains in the middle..."
"It's nothing, I can do it." Before Wang Husheng could finish speaking, the child said stubbornly, "Anyway, I'm going."
After a pause, the child continued: "My mother told me that if we don't drive away the little Japs, we won't have a good life, so I have to fight my way forward. I can only help the Eighth Route Army to drive away the little Japs."
Only then will you have a good life.”
Wang Husheng was about to say that you are still young, so why don't you let your mother go? However, before he could say anything, a shout suddenly came from not far ahead: "Gou Sheng? Gou Sheng?"
Wang Husheng looked back and saw an old woman.
Perhaps the woman is not old, but her body has been destroyed by too heavy work. What is even more unfortunate is that she is completely blind and can only use a bamboo pole to find her way forward.
Seeing the old woman, the child immediately stepped forward to help her, and then called her mother.
The old woman touched the child's disheveled hair, then handed over the blue cloth bag slung in her arm, and said: "Goucheng, you were walking in a hurry just now and took down the dry food. Come here, bring the dry food."
Come on, don’t forget it this time.”
The child said "Oh" and reluctantly put the ration bag on his back. Wang Husheng understood immediately that although this child was young, he was very filial. He had a bad memory and put down the ration bag, but specially gave it to his mother.
He left it behind because he was worried that after he went away, my mother would have no one to take care of her at home and she would not have enough to eat and would go hungry.
Wang Husheng suddenly understood why such a young child had to step forward?
For nothing else, just for his mother! For him, his mother is his heaven! Just like, for every soldier of the Chahar Independent Regiment, and even every soldier of the Eighth Route Army, the motherland is them.
Oh my god! In order for their mother to live a good life and for the motherland not to be bullied, they would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives!
"Gousheng, here you go." Wang Husheng found the smallest box from the pile of supplies.
However, Gou Sheng refused without hesitation and took the initiative to pick up the largest wooden crate from the pile of supplies. After the heavy wooden crate pressed on his back, his body sank suddenly, but soon,
Gou Shengbian stubbornly puffed out his chest, and then walked away step by step with slow but firm steps.
