The four-department regiment returning to North China received the most solemn welcome, once again giving the second lieutenant of the U.S. Air Force a great shock.
The commander-in-chief of China's 2nd Theater personally led three deputy commanders of theaters to Yuncheng Airport. Commanders of the four major armies stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain all arrived at Yuncheng Airport. Among them, the 5th Army and the 4th Army also had two lieutenant generals and 4
The lieutenant general and division commander arrived.
It really gave Tang Dao enough face.
The 80th Group Army mobilized even more troops, including a deputy commander, a division commander of one of the three main divisions, and six brigade commanders.
The incoming security forces included six security battalions, with a strength of more than 6,000 people.
Those who knew they were here to welcome the Si Xing Group back to their base in Taihang Mountain, but those who didn't know thought they were here to rob people.
However, those who know the inside story know very well that if anyone dares to raise objections and allow the Four Lines Regiment to stay near Zhongtiao Mountain and not let them leave, then these 6,000 elite soldiers may really start to rob them.
6,000 elite soldiers are nothing. The scary thing is that in the Taihang Mountains a hundred miles away, there are probably also heavy troops gathered...
Second Lieutenant Robert may have only seen so many generals in his life, but after transporting an infantry regiment thousands of miles to its destination, he saw them.
The airport is full of stars. If the Japanese army can launch a surprise attack on Yuncheng Airport at this time, it is very likely that China's middle and high-level officials in North China will be killed.
It's a pity that even if the Japanese army knew about it, they could only look back and sigh!
Now and then, North China at this time is no longer the North China it was three or four years ago. Not to mention that at this time, the Japanese North China Front Army was constantly redeploying its main divisions because it needed to support the Southeast Asian and Pacific battlefields. There were only 260,000 Japanese regular troops.
, has long since lost the courage it once had.
Although the number of security forces is as high as one million, the middle and lower levels of the security forces have been colluding with the Chinese in the past. By 1943, as the Japanese army was weakening, the top brass also began to flirt with the Chinese, wishing that they would change their flags at the first sign of someone.
.
Do you want to say that the Japanese North China Front Army knows? Of course they know, but the number of security forces at this time can be as high as one million, and their equipment and training are not bad. Don't look at them dillydallying against the Chinese side like an old lady.
Road, but if someone wants their lives, how many of the 260,000 Japanese regular troops will be left if they fight for their lives?
The North China Front Army launched the Henan Offensive. On the one hand, it was to cooperate with the base camp's strategic plan to open up the mainland's communication lines. In fact, it also wanted to scare millions of security troops. Show your dogs that the master's combat power is still there. You are the best.
So as not to have any evil thoughts.
Of course, Japan's North China Front has become weaker. More importantly, China's strength in North China has greatly increased. From Hebei Province to Shandong Province and then to the northern area of Henan Province, the vast countryside is now owned by the Eightyth Army.
base area.
The Japanese North China Front did not dare to estimate the number of troops the Eightyth Army had and its mobilization capabilities for battle-level operations.
In fact, even the 80th Group Army itself is not particularly clear about its entire troop situation and mobilization capabilities, because divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and even companies and platoons are all expanding.
Not to mention that the headquarters doesn't know, even Brigadier Cheng doesn't know how many troops his 683 brigade has in northern and eastern Hebei. He knows that the 683 brigade now has 5 regiments, 771, 772, independent regiment, new regiment, supplementary
Regiments, each regiment has about 7,000 regular troops.
As for how many non-staff personnel each regiment has developed, I am afraid that even the leaders of each regiment themselves cannot give a specific number.
Just like Wang Xiaoqiang, the leader of the 772nd Regiment, he strictly enforced the confidentiality system at first, but in the end he couldn't figure out how many people the three main battalions he had thrown out had developed.
Anyway, the data on soldiers is a complete mess. Only when we open up the battle line and fight the Japanese that day, we will probably have an accurate number.
Tang Tuanzuo is probably a little more aware of this than they are. According to data records, by the end of 1944, the total population of the Eightyth Army in the North China base reached more than 30 million people. Not counting small-scale guerrillas and armed brigades, the regular army
It has reached 500,000 people.
If the Japanese really want to fight, let alone the 200,000-strong army in the Zhongtiao Mountains, Taihang Mountains and the Second Theater Area, the Eightyth Army alone can give them a good drink.
Besides, there is a Jinan Guard Brigade in southern Hebei! This local force, which is claimed to be under the command of the Southern Hebei Administrative Office, is a well-known ace force in the eyes of North China, China and Japan.
Who told them that they were separated from the Four Lines Regiment? The person in charge of military affairs is Lei Xiong, the former deputy commander of the Four Lines Regiment, and the chief of staff is Shangguan Yun. Several of the leaders under his command are even the former Four Lines Regiment generals. Don’t look at many
The soldiers are new soldiers, but that was three years ago. After three years, the new soldiers have long since become veterans.
During the three years that Okamura Koji served as the commander of the North China Front, he wanted to launch an offensive against southern Hebei countless times, but the southern Hebei garrison brigade in Zishan always made him feel like a thorn in his back. The battle of Zishan was a constant reminder.
If he wants to complete a devastating attack on the Zishan area, the Japanese North China Front Army will have to invest at least 3 to 4 divisions, and even have to leave more than two divisions on the outside of the battlefield to take charge of peripheral security. Otherwise, there will be a steady stream of support from the outside.
Let the main force on the battlefield be frightened day and night.
Good guy, just to ensure a southern Hebei strategy, at least 150,000 troops have to be invested. So what are the tens of thousands of Chinese main forces in the Zhongtiao Mountains and Taihang Mountains to do? Let those scumbag security forces go?
Don't forget that the battle in southern Hebei has not yet been completed. Over there, China's 200,000-strong army came over and reoccupied the entire Jin Province.
Losing Jin Province would be even more terrifying than losing the plains of Ji Province. From there, the Chinese could send more troops to Hebei, Henan, Shandong, and Chacha provinces. At that time, the Japanese North China Front would be completely passive.
Even someone as strong as Okamura Koji had no choice but to endure it, but he didn’t expect that this endurance would last for three years, until the Chinese became stronger and stronger, but Japan was too anxious to poke the Americans in the butt, and was defeated in the Pacific.
The huge fleet that the United States continues to build is subject to friction, and the mainland can provide less and less support to the military in China...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! To put it bluntly, by November 1944, even a fool could see that the Japanese still occupied major cities in North China, but their strength and
They were no longer comparable to each other before. At this time, if the Chinese armies in North China wanted to launch a large-scale battle, the Japanese would have no choice but to retreat in tears.
Although the old man from Jin Province is not a strategic commander, he is still a bit clever. This time he did not hesitate to greet Tang Dao, the commander of the small group, with the dignity of a theater commander. In fact, he was also sending a signal, hoping to take this opportunity to reconcile with
Senior officials of the 80th Group Army met.
If anyone in China at this time wanted to regain Jin Province the most, it was this old man. He dreamed of continuing his rule on the land of Jin Province.
However, one-third of Jin Province is now under the control of the Japanese, and most of the rest is already under the control of the Eighty Group Army. The decree of an old man with the command of an army of more than 200,000 people can work.
, no more than 6 counties.
Not to mention the deputy commander of the 80th Group Army knew about this little trick, even Tang Dao, who was carried off the plane, understood it instantly after seeing this huge formation.
"Salute to my officers and soldiers who bravely killed the enemy in the Battle of Hengyang!" More than two dozen generals saluted in unison.
The officers and soldiers of the four regiments who lined up off the transport plane and were still on the transport plane all stood up straight and returned the greeting!
Tang Dao, whose face was sallow and almost dead, was very straightforward. After trying to say hello to the generals, he rolled his eyes and fell into coma.
Several accompanying military doctors rushed over to check and administer injections, and the scene was chaotic for a time.
The generals who were familiar with Tang Dao had heavy expressions, and those generals who just wanted to see Tang Dao's personal condition couldn't help but panic. They couldn't help but look at the old man from Jin Province who also had a sad face. Don't seriously hurt Tang Dao.
'If it's too close at this juncture, then they can't get away with it.
"Send Tang Dao to Taihang Hospital quickly!" Mr. Liu, who had always been steady, was anxious.
He waved his hand and called to the incoming brigade commander: "I order your brigade guard battalion and the garrison brigade guard battalion to escort Captain Tang and his comrades from the Sixth Regiment to their destination. If anyone loses a hair, I will take care of you."
Cheng Laizi asked."
"Don't worry, division commander. On the way here, our 683rd and 685th brigades and the security brigade have already sent elite troops to set up defenses along the way to ensure that no Japanese troops will have the opportunity to attack." Brigadier Cheng assured with a pat on his chest.
The eyes of the generals in the second theater twitched, and they all took a breath of cold air, and there was an indescribable depth in their eyes.
In order to welcome Tang Dao, the 80th Army formed a huge formation.
Although Brigadier Cheng Da only mentioned these three brigades, what is the current situation of the 921st Division? Do the generals in the second theater know anything about it?
It is said to be an infantry division. Its strength is much larger than that of a group army! A brigade under its command may be as strong as an infantry corps.
However, even if they knew, no one could say anything more. After all, the accident that happened in Jiangnan three years ago made people scared. If we don’t develop ourselves desperately, what will we do if a similar accident happens in North China? Even if it is
No fool would sit still and wait for death!
Moreover, in the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, they not only did not add insult to injury, but mobilized elite troops to give the Japanese army a hard blow, saving the defense line that was almost on the verge of collapse. The 200,000-strong army in Zhongtiao Mountain was all
Have great respect for them.
As for the commander of the Second War Zone, I'm afraid he also wants to play a balance between him and the 80th Army, as long as he can keep his reputation as the leader of Jin Province.
This is also one of the main reasons why the two sides have not been at odds over the past three years, even if the 80 Group has tried its best to develop and grow.
In addition, the combat power of the Jinan Garrison Brigade is equivalent to that of a Japanese division. This is equivalent to having at least the combat power of a group army responsible for guarding the 200-mile journey from Yuncheng to Dakouzi Cave in the Taihang Mountains.
Besides, Southeast Shanxi is basically controlled by the 80th Group Army. The two Japanese divisions have been suppressed in each county. There has been no major movement for almost a year, but they dare to come out.
As long as they dare to come out, these generals have no doubt that the 921st Division will dare to mobilize a large army to surround them in the high mountains.
It’s already 1944, I thought it was 1937 now!
At this time, the Japanese North China Front did not have many planes. Even if they did, Yuncheng Airport still had up to 3 squadrons of fighter planes. There were also dozens of them in Shaanxi Province, and the sky was no longer an air corridor for the Japanese army.
Are we guarding against the Japanese? Or the Japanese?
"Then..." The old man from Jin Province was speechless and looked at the supreme commander of the 80th Army Group.
"Sir Yan, I am escorted by the 683 Brigade Guard Battalion. It seems like this, I can't drink the wine you want. But I can't just accept your kindness, Chief Yan. Do you think this will work? Please be prepared."
With some food and wine, I will entertain the brothers of the Fourth Army on the road for Chief Yan, to celebrate their victory over the Japanese invaders in the Hengyang defense battle, and to cleanse them of their troubles." The deputy commander-in-chief, who was always unsmiling, said seriously.
...
When a cold-faced person speaks seriously, no one dares not to take it as the truth, but no matter how you listen to these words, you feel...
Do you all think that a certain officer is a great injustice?
How could the unjust commander not know about it? Even if he knew, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the 80th Army could still give him face. He sent the second-ranking figure in the Army to express his intention to continue to listen to the orders of the Second Theater Command. As for orders,
How much you listen to is decided internally.
"As for the important military matters we discussed yesterday, I will send a liaison officer to your ministry to discuss them some other day!" The old man from Jin Province could only say helplessly.
"Resisting Japan together is the basic policy of our group army when it was formed, and it will never be changed because of the perverse behavior of some people." The deputy commander nodded, raised his hand to say goodbye to everyone who was standing, and turned to leave.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The Eighty-fifth Army Group, the Fourth Army Regiment and even the Southern Hebei Administrative Office are going to..." A deputy commander of the Second Theater Zone looked gloomy.
, whispered.
"Silence!" The old man from Jin Province waved his hand, his face gloomy as if dripping water: "Now is the critical moment of the national war. The Japanese invaders have not yet driven out of the country. Whoever provokes internal strife will be our 76 million North China
The common enemy of the people. Moreover, the area where the Fourth Army Regiment was originally stationed is within the jurisdiction of the Eightyth Army. If they are not allowed to escort, who else can be allowed to escort?
From now on, don’t say anything like this in front of me, old man.”
Although at least a few of them are the old man who was sent to check and balance Jin Province, and he usually can't command them, but after all, this is the highest officer in the war zone, and his mouth is full of nationality, and the big hat of national war, who dares to easily
Put this hat on yourself? Even that person would not do it publicly.
There were more than 3,000 members of the Sixth Group, escorted by two guard battalions, and quickly rushed to the Taihang Mountains.
Fifty miles away, a big man wearing a gray military uniform without a military rank was looking around in the grass. It was not until he saw a mixture of dark gray uniforms and dark blue uniforms coming towards this direction through the telescope that he heaved a sigh of relief.
The generals at the airport all thought wrong. For the sake of the Si Xing Regiment, the main force of the Eighty Group Army was not in the Taihang Mountains a hundred miles away, but had already arrived 50 miles away from Yuncheng.
In this mountain range alone, most of the main force of the 683rd Brigade is lurking.
The military uniform is still the same, just the military rank, and all the armbands have been torn off. This is to say that if there is any conflict, they will refuse to admit it until death.
"My brother Tang! I'm here to see you. You can't die young! Otherwise, I'll miss you so much that I'll miss you so much." Accompanied by Leng Feng, the big man in gray clothes hurriedly walked.
Go straight to the Tang Dao stretcher.
No one had arrived yet, and they hadn't seen what was going on with Tang Dao. As soon as he heard that Tang Da Tuan had fallen into a coma three hours ago, the big man immediately started to cry with his mouth wide open.
Without looking, just listening, you can tell that this person and Tang Dao have a deep friendship, right? That's it! It sounds a bit like mourning?
If you don't know how to speak, can you please speak less? The black and white eyes of Tantai Mingyue, who was more than ten meters away, looked directly at the sky, otherwise she would not be able to help but give this guy a big look.
"Don't worry, Commander Wang, I have a very hard life. The Prince of Hell will not be able to take the Japanese away unless I fight them off." Tang Dao, however, turned over and jumped off the stretcher, replying energetically.
"Brother Tang, what are you..." Wang Xiaoqiang was shocked.
The telegram said that Mr. Tang was seriously injured and was about to die. Seventeen or eighty pieces of shrapnel were taken out and he was left hanging in one breath. Even if he recovered from his injuries, he would still be a cripple. What is the situation now?
"How should I put it? If I have to find a reason, I think it should be the power of friendship! Especially your commander Wang Da made me cry with such a voice that I almost thought I was going to die." Tang Dao held his hand.
Wang Xiaoqiang's hand was held extremely tightly.
He had reason to suspect that this guy did it on purpose.
"I'll buy you a drink!" Wang Xiaoqiang grinned.
"Oh!" Tang Dao remained calm.
"I invited all the brothers from the Fourth Army Group to have a drink. I just robbed the Japanese of a special train transporting supplies two days ago." Wang Xiaoqiang continued to grin.
But this time, it’s not from hand pain, it’s mainly from heartache!
"Wang Xiaoqiang, you bastard, didn't you tell me that the Japanese were so fast that they only grabbed two wagons!" Brigadier Cheng, who was walking towards us, almost lost his glasses in anger.
"That special train probably only has two carriages, right, Lao Wang?" Tang Dao let go of his hand and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Wang Xiaoqiang was confused.
Several officers laughed, their laughter soaring into the sky!
They knew that Tang Dao was a big liar. With his ability, how could he be so seriously injured?
In order to cheat, he really has to learn from Tang Tuanzuo! Looking at the brigade commander and the division commander looking at him from the corner of his eye from time to time, Wang Xiaoqiang felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement in his ability to cheat.
