In the next few days, the radio stations of the Four Elements Group were silent, and they started to run in "run, run" mode!
Its marching speed is absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.
By the time the field radio at the regiment headquarters of the Fourth Army was turned on and received an order from Commander Cheng of the First Theater Command ordering the Fourth Army Regiment to assist the theater in defending the Yellow River defense line, the Fourth Army Regiment had already crossed Jiaozuo and was about to enter the Taihang Mountain area.
Yes, on the second day after the victory of annihilating the 2nd Infantry Regiment was reported, when the theater commander personally went to the headquarters of the New Eighth Division to express his condolences to the "meritorious ministers", he finally discovered the clue.
The "captures" of the New Eighth Division were very rich, but compared with the huge feat of annihilating an infantry regiment, it was really too little. It was not because of heavy weapons, but light weapons. 800 rifles were too small for the Japanese army with nearly 3,000 infantry.
For an infantry regiment, there are really too few.
And Master Jiang’s so-called reason for sharing half of the loot with the Four Elements Regiment almost made the wily Commander Cheng angry. Although he did not go to the Four Elements Regiment to see it in person, when he sent the Four Elements Regiment to participate
Is the colonel at the New Year's conference blind?
What the Si Xing Regiment lacks the most is light weapons, and they also bring a large number of horse-drawn carriages, which are used to deliver weapons and equipment to the Sichuan Army on the northern front. Instead of artillery and machine guns, what do you want a bunch of rifles for? Are they used as firewood?
Once this senior general who was able to earn a place for himself in the treacherous high-level political struggles became suspicious, how many opportunities would it give to Master Jiang who was already lacking in confidence? The two closed the door and spent just one
After a cup of tea, Tang Dao, the 'conspirator' behind the scenes, surfaced.
Even though General Jiang had done a lot of whitewashing for himself and the New Eighth Division, the thoughtful Commander Ru Cheng didn't immediately know everything, and all the unreasonable things got the most reasonable explanation.
I'm sorry, Tang Dao actually gave up his military exploits for nothing and ran away because of the so-called "big tree attracting the wind".
To put it bluntly, he didn't want to stand out too much and be favored by himself and be forced to stay in the first theater to fight.
Do you think so little of the First Theater Command and yourself? How could this theater-level commander not be angry?
"At a time like this, you don't want to contribute to the country, but for the benefit of your own small group, you don't hesitate to blame others for your military exploits. Both of you should engage in military law!" Commander Cheng was so angry that he almost pointed at someone.
A dejected master with a long nose cursed.
I guess Tang Dao is here and the saliva can wash his face!
Fortunately, maybe Tang Dao had already expected it, so not only did he run fast, he even turned off the field radio and couldn't listen to the curse.
In fact, even if you hear it, Tang Dao will not be wasted here for a long time!
It's not that he doesn't want to have another fight with the 14th Division in the first theater, but it's no longer meaningful.
The Iron Bridge over the Yellow River has been blown up, and the 14th Division, a native dog, has no wings, and has completely lost its threat to Zhengzhou. It can only go to Kaifeng, more than 200 kilometers away, where there are direct descendants of the principal. Although
History has proved that they are really incompetent, but the power of the New Eighth Division's "King of Destruction" is not small. They were not involved in the bombing of the Yellow River Iron Bridge. They will never be absent when the Yellow River Embankment is blown up in a few months.
, Zhengzhou is guaranteed to be safe for at least a few years.
Moreover, the strategy of the Battle of Xuzhou failed. The Japanese army's northern and southern armies went straight to Central China and conquered South China. The strategic trend has been formed. Not to mention Tang Dao and Si Xing Regiment, a small infantry regiment with less than 3,000 people. Even if they have 100,000 troops, they can only
It’s all in vain!
It would be better to attack the north like that unit, which would not only make the Japanese miserable in the occupied areas and fail to achieve the purpose of supporting the war with war, but also make the Japanese's already fragile logistics worse, and even allow them to quietly develop and strengthen themselves.
This war will be far longer than anyone imagines. Tang Dao, who is familiar with history, has laid out so many first moves to prepare for the future. Then he will change his decision because of the commander's words of "only caring about the interests of small groups"
?
Therefore, even though the theater-level commander had the authority to command all the troops in the defense zone, Tang Dao took precautions and called for radio silence in advance, and could not receive any telegram from the theater headquarters.
"Due to the Japanese blockade, in order to avoid exposing the march, the field radio remained silent. We have now arrived in the Taihang Mountains area in accordance with the military orders of our army!" Tang Dao's call back was simple and clear.
"Hey! This Tang Dao is so shrewd as a ghost! No wonder the Japanese have been defeated in front of him many times! What a pity! It can't be used by me." Commander Cheng took the four-line regiment message sent by the adjutant and sighed.
"Sir, what do you mean, Tang Dao would have arrived at the headquarters a long time ago and would have called him back to the Yellow River defense line?" The adjutant looked surprised.
As one of the few insiders who knew about the New Eighth Division's "pretend" military exploits, he knew that the 2nd Infantry Regiment was killed by the Four Lines Regiment. It was difficult for him to understand why someone would give such a huge military exploit so easily.
It is even more difficult to understand that there are more than 2,000 people in a group who have no objections.
That's all. This person actually silenced the field radio one day in advance like a prophet, making the command from the theater headquarters completely useless. What's even more awesome is that now his meaning is very clear. I have already
Now that we are entering Taihang Mountain, you can no longer control me.
"It doesn't matter whether it's calculated or not. What's important is that this kid is not only smart, but also cherishes his life. Even if his four-pronged regiment started to evacuate on the eve of the large-scale Japanese bombing three days ago, it was only three days! A fully armed
The regiment has actually left Henan Province and arrived in Shanxi Province, which means that his entire regiment has marched more than 100 miles every day!" Commander Cheng gestured with his baton on the map hanging behind him, his face full of amazement.
.
"This is impossible? They are a heavily armored regiment. Not only do they have their own weapons and equipment, but they also carry the equipment of an infantry regiment. How can they travel 100 miles a day without trucks?" The colonel's adjutant couldn't believe it.
Tang Dao's telegram said that he had reached the edge of the Taihang Mountains, but the colonel's adjutant instinctively thought that it was Tang Dao's excuse. Who would have thought that his own superiors actually believed it.
"Whether he has arrived or not, you will know by calling the garrison over there. Tang Dao is very good at deceiving people, but he will never fool me in this regard." Commander Cheng's eyes flashed with a glint. "
If you think it's impossible, then your vision is too limited. There are not many impossibilities in this world. An infantry regiment can kill an infantry regiment in four hours. They can run three hundred miles in three days. I don't know.
It’s not surprising.”
"Then, sir, Tang Dao acted so wantonly and even dared to tamper with military achievements, are we..." The face of the colonel's adjutant, who was scolded by his superior, showed unwillingness.
His immediate boss has always been iron-fisted since he took charge of the first war zone. Even the commander of the first group army did not dare to disobey orders easily. However, Commander Tang had only been in the first war zone for a short time.
For a long time, he had played such a big job, even turning a deaf ear to the telegrams from the theater headquarters. Being good at figuring out what was going on, he was naturally more inclined to find fault with him when the commander was in charge.
"You mean, let me punish him for Tang Dao and Jiang Zaizhen by pretending to be a military leader?" Commander Cheng showed a half-smile but not a smile.
Seeing the expression on his immediate boss's face, the colonel's adjutant suddenly felt a thump in his heart. He knew this person very well, and it was clear that he was very dissatisfied with the expression he had just suggested, so he dared to say one more word.
"Hmph! If this matter were brought to the top, it would not only be the punishment of the two of them, but who in the first theater of war would be proud of it? I dare you, the one who beat up the 14th Division was not the first theater of war, but the first theater of war.
It was a small force passing by the defense area. I don’t know how many people laughed behind my back until their molars fell out.
What's more, Tang and Jiang will be offended to death. Do you think the commander of the New Eighth Division is a fool? Since he dares to admit it, he knows that this matter will end with me, and there will be no others.
I know." Seeing that his personal adjutant realized his mistake, Commander Cheng snorted coldly.
"This matter ends here. The war zone will display various trophies seized in newspapers to confirm this matter. No matter what, this battle is in the defense zone of our first war zone. It is a victory for the Chinese against the Japanese. The Chinese laugh
Yes, the Japanese are crying, that’s fine!”
"Yes, I understand!" The colonel's adjutant nodded quickly.
"In addition, even though Tang Dao has played such a trick on me, it has brought glory to my face in the First War Zone. I can't be too petty!" Commander Cheng held the telegram with bright eyes and made a decision.
"Send power to the Ministry of Military Affairs and tell them that the enemy's 14th Division is approaching fiercely. To protect the safety of the Zhengzhou area, our theater will temporarily recruit the Fourth Army Regiment to assist in the defense of the south bank of the Yellow River. They will be allowed to return to their original headquarters after the war stabilizes!"
"Didn't the Four Lines Regiment run away?" the colonel's adjutant was stunned.
Then, I understood what my boss meant.
.........
"Commander Cheng, what a wonderful man! I can't accept this as a gift!" Tang Dao, who was on the march, also received the 43rd Army Headquarters' Radio No. 3, which was secretly turned on by the regiment headquarters.
After receiving the telegram, I instantly understood Commander Cheng’s good intentions.
You know clearly that the Four Elements Group has run far away, but you still want to take such a move. What is the purpose? Isn't it just to help the Four Elements Group cover up their whereabouts!
The pervasiveness of Japanese spies is no longer a secret among senior generals. Commander Cheng has reason to believe that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs can see such an ordinary-level transfer order, and it will not take long before it reaches North China.
On the front army side.
Once I heard that the Four Lines Regiment was still setting up defenses on the south bank of the Yellow River, there was no need to expend great efforts to pursue and intercept the Four Lines Regiment. Even if it only deceived them for a day or two, when the Four Lines Regiment had completely entered the mountainous area, the danger would be greatly reduced.
In fact, Commander Cheng's tactical deception message was actually transmitted to the North China Front Army Headquarters. Indoor Shroud, who deeply hated Tang Dao and the Si Xing Regiment, did not fully believe it, but no matter what intelligence he used, he could not find the Si Xing Group.
The whereabouts of the group.
In those few days, that small unit that made the North China Front Army hate it with all their heart was like air, completely disappearing from the North China Front's intelligence.
Even if Shanxi Province dispatched more than a dozen aircraft a day and searched along several roads from Yu Province to Shanxi Province, no trace of the Si Xing Group could be found.
In fact, it is a war zone there. The Chinese army mobilizes frequently, and troops marching on the ground from time to time. Just looking at the ground from a high altitude, how do you know what kind of troops they are?
No reconnaissance pilot dared to say that the troops he saw were the Fourth Army Regiment, because everyone knew that as long as it was confirmed that it was the Fourth Army Regiment, the Army Aviation would mobilize a large number of bombers to bomb it. If he said it wrong, then
But it's a huge responsibility.
Yes, since the destruction of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, the 14th Division, which was responsible for attacking the Henan Province defense line, no longer dared to release its four main infantry regiments to attack in all directions as before, and even gave up chasing the Chinese because of this.
The remnant of the First Army, its main infantry had already shrunk and was preparing for the crossing of the river.
To put it bluntly, the possibility of retaliating against the little grasshopper Si Xing Tuan from land has been completely abandoned, mainly with air power.
But the Chinese all wore the same clothes, and when they saw the reconnaissance planes, they quickly left the road and hid in the wilderness. The Si Xing Tuan would not specifically carve the words "Si Xing Tuan" on their faces to let the Japanese reconnaissance planes
The pilot identified it as not.
Even if it is written, it would still require a Japanese reconnaissance plane to dare to fly down to see it!
Now all reconnaissance aircraft pilots are warned not to descend below 800 meters to conduct ground reconnaissance.
It is said that this is Lieutenant Sasaki's experience.
Although all the pilots thought that this product had too strong a "Kyo" attribute, its ability to save lives was definitely the best among the Army Aviation of the North China Front.
In several battles, his colleagues either lost their lives or the plane was covered in scars, but Lieutenant Sasaki didn't even get a scratch on his skin.
His life-saving experience has long become a popular theory within the Japanese Army Aviation. He said that the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft pilots would never reach 799 meters at 800 meters.
Moreover, Lieutenant Sasaki also said that the biggest characteristic of the Four Lines Regiment is its iron head. Not to mention seeing reconnaissance planes, it is a group of bombers. They also set up machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to fight you.
Therefore, based on this experience, as long as the reconnaissance aircraft is not attacked and can only hide and avoid, it will definitely not be the Four Lines Group.
Over the course of three days, dozens of Japanese reconnaissance planes dispatched encountered only the "soft-footed shrimp" Chinese army, but not the Iron Head. Naturally, no one dared to say that they had found the Four Lines Group.
About 20 bombers that had been preparing for departure at the Taiyuan Airport were sitting on the runway in vain.
As for why the bombers that had been prepared didn't swarm over and blow him up when they discovered other Chinese troops, is there any need to explain the reason?
The war has been going on for half a year. Even though China, the poor man, was defeated and retreated into a state of embarrassment, Japan, the local rich man, was also beaten to the point where his family's granary was almost empty.
Especially oil. There is no oil produced in Japan, and even in the northeastern part of the country that was finally occupied, oil cannot be found. All oil must be bought with real money.
As for the prodigal son of the Japanese Navy, after listening to the beautiful country's deception, he started building battleships like crazy a few years ago. Big iron lumps weighing tens of thousands of tons not only require a lot of steel, but also require a lot of fuel to make them run!
Most of the oil that was finally collected was taken up by the navy. Naturally, the unlucky child of the army did not have much left.
Fortunately, the Japanese Army does not engage in mechanization. As for the North China Front, except for the 10th Division, which has some shadow of a mechanized division, the other divisions mainly rely on two legs and pack horses. The fuel consumption of more than 100 trucks in one division is still acceptable.
bear.
But the wealthy locals who don't have much food left at home, and don't have the capital to squander, have no choice but to "use good steel on the blade". They use a fleet of aircraft that consume a lot of fuel to bomb ordinary Chinese troops. No Japanese commander will go there.
Make such tactical choices.
To put it bluntly, it is also caused by poverty.
In fact, the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft pilots at high altitude did not know that they had passed by the Four Troops at least three times.
Like the First War Zone, they all underestimated the speed of the Four Troops Regiment's "escape". No one could believe that a fully armed force would leave its original position for more than a hundred miles in one night.
Lieutenant Sasaki's experience has also harmed them. He is the leader of the Four Troops. It depends on when.
Since leaving the Yellow River Bridge 70 kilometers away, Tang Dao ordered the entire army to march day and night. The entire army would not make any disguises. Even if a reconnaissance plane passed overhead, no shots would be fired. The entire army would be scattered and hidden in the wilderness.
, wait for them to fly away, and the entire army can immediately leave the dangerous area.
The Four Lines Regiment is now divided into three sections, the forward, the middle, and the rear are each nearly ten kilometers apart. No matter which section you look at, it does not look like an infantry regiment with thousands of troops. Tang Dao is betting that the Japanese do not have
With such abundant financial resources, a wave of carpet bombing can be carried out casually.
If the Japanese had this strength, it is estimated that China, which has completely lost its air supremacy, would have no way to survive. Will it still be able to survive for another seven or eight years?
Tang Dao made a bet on the "poverty" of the Japanese. In just three days, he crossed Jincheng, arrived at Gaoping, and headed for Huguan, which is located in the Taihang Mountains.
It is only 150 kilometers away from Licheng, the destination set for this four-trip tour!
However, the road that has entered the mountainous area is extremely difficult, and the situation there is also extremely complicated. There are four forces, including the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Sichuan Army, the 129th Division of the 18th Group Army, and the Japanese Army.
On the surface, of course, China's three forces are working together to deal with the Japanese, but privately, they also have their own guardrails and are by no means monolithic.
The Si Xing Regiment, a newly arrived infantry regiment, seems to have some relationship with two of them, but it is by no means that easy to mess with.
Especially the destination chosen by Tang Dao for this trip is the territory of the 129th Division. In the near future, it will also be the location of the military factory personally selected by the commander of the 18th Group Army.
Wanting to occupy that treasured land as soon as he came here, just based on his reputation as Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group, or his little relationship with Tantai Yunshu in private, must be a daydream!
Especially when he thought of the two military and political officers of the 129th Division, as well as their lieutenant generals and brigade commanders, who were rare among all the Chinese armies, Tang Dao couldn't help but feel his head hurt. Those three were among the most intelligent people in the world.
, this is not a place where he can just fool around if he wants to.
I'm afraid it would take a lot of bleeding to make this possible!
