According to Okamura Neiji's requirements, this is the first and so far the only special operations brigade of the Japanese North China Front. In addition to mastering the proficiency in the use of various Japanese equipment starting from the 92nd Infantry Artillery and below.
Be familiar with the fighting methods of the Anti-League, and be proficient in mastering and using the standard weapons of the Anti-League.
As early as the end of last year's battle, Okamura Neiji had an extremely strategic vision and foresaw that in the near future, the communist army that entered the pass from the northeast and moved south would be the North China Front's primary enemy. Therefore, in his opinion, this army would
The primary opponent of the special form of combat troops will be the Northeastern Communist Army.
The Northeastern Communist Army's combat concepts, combat modes, and weapons are something that this unit must be familiar with and master. Only in this way can they play the role that the front army headquarters expects them to play when fighting against that powerful opponent. This idea and idea is actually
This coincides with his colleague in the Northeast, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro.
However, compared to the North China Front Army, the Kwantung Army is much more magnanimous. It is organized directly into regiments, with a search regiment as the backbone. However, compared to the much larger organization and strength of the Kwantung Army, the North China Army
The special operations force of the Front Army actually has its own characteristics.
The North China Front Army also had to face the situation of the 18th Group Army troops in the major strategic areas of North China. It knew that these were like maggots on the tarsal bones, which could not be pulled off if they stuck. They were also like weeds, which could not be cut down or killed.
Absolutely. Maybe I won’t fight a big battle with you for many years, but it will never give you peace.
Once they are allowed to fight out of the mountain, they will be like mercury pouring down the ground, almost all-pervasive. As long as they are allowed to gain a foothold in a certain place, there will be no stable opponents in the entire surrounding area. Compared with the Northeastern Communist Army, which is much better equipped than them, it is actually at its root.
The more difficult to deal with is Okamura Neji.
At the same time, this special operations force is required to be proficient in mountain warfare and anti-guerrilla warfare. Based on the original foundation and in accordance with the development and changes of the situation, it is required to further strengthen the research on the 18th Group Army and master the tactics of dealing with the 18th Group Army, especially
It's their abominable bullshit guerrilla warfare tactics.
In addition, they must be proficient in the German and Chinese light weapons used by the Eighteenth Army. In addition to more than half of the officers must be proficient in Chinese, the rest must at least be able to understand Chinese. All habits must be in accordance with the Chinese
, especially because of the habit of the Anti-League. In other words, by not speaking, people must not be able to tell that they are not Chinese.
The headquarters of the Eighteenth Army at all levels must have the ability to go deep behind enemy lines to carry out beheadings. The Masuko Standing Team, which formed the backbone of this unit, provided support to the headquarters of the Eighteenth Army and its affiliated units during the 41st sweep.
The blow it caused left a deep impression on Neji Okamura.
Therefore, compared with the Kwantung Army's opponent, which only targets the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the North China Front Army's tactics are more varied and its training is more difficult. However, its combat literacy and the scope of application of tactics are not
It is also much wider. However, compared with the Kwantung Army, which has fought against the Anti-Japanese Special Forces many times and has had unforgettable experience, their training level is also a bit higher.
After more than a year of painstaking training, although there is no equipment and systematic training methods of the original reconnaissance brigade directly under the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which has been expanded into the Anti-Union Special Operations Command, the actual combat level and technical tactics are also far from each other.
At best, it's an enhanced version of the Scout.
But after all, where is the old foundation of the elite Japanese army? Moreover, the Japanese army has penetrated into China for nearly half a century and has a good grasp of the Chinese language and customs. With painstaking selection and training,
This elite Japanese army has also mastered the infantry tactics of the anti-alliance alliance quite well.
He is also proficient in fighting and marksmanship, and can skillfully use the standard weapons of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the 18th Army. All team members have received airborne training. Although they only have the most basic parachute ability, they are familiar with airborne operations after all. 100%
The team members can ride horses and drive cars, motorcycles and other military vehicles.
Not only are they proficient in mountain warfare, infiltration operations, sabotage warfare, and night warfare, but the communication personnel also have a certain level of radio signal monitoring and judgment, and have very strong independent combat capabilities. Some of them not only speak Chinese quite fluently, but even speak Chinese in Hebei and Shanxi
He can also speak dialects fluently.
But even though they are well-trained, their superior, Okamura Neiji, and Umezu Yoshijiro, who formed the same unit at almost the same time, these two are the commander of the North China Front and the commander of the Kwantung Army. They use the so-called special forces under their respective subordinates.
, but it is somewhat different.
Compared with Okamura Neji, maybe it was because of the different status he once held, or maybe the degree of disadvantage he suffered. As the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro was much more generous in his use. As soon as the troops completed their training, they were
He went into the battlefield and carried out infiltration and sabotage deep into the Anti-Alliance base area.
Although these unqualified students suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, they also achieved some results. Although when trying to penetrate into the deep defense line of the Anti-Japanese Alliance like fire hedgehogs, the cost was not proportional to the gain. But in terms of use, it is necessary to
Much more generous and bold than the North China Front.
Relatively speaking, Okamura Neji seemed to have a much smaller family. Even when he was trapped alone in the city of Peking, he was not willing to dispatch this unit to Peking to escort him. However, the decline of the Jizhong battlefield became more and more obvious.
Next, this unit was originally regarded as a darling by Okamura Neji. When the Beiping battlefield was the most dangerous, this unit was not willing to be transferred to join the war. In the end, Okamura Neji sent it out. All the capital was almost lost.
He really couldn't care less about the preciousness of this army.
It's just that this army is stationed in Tianjin, just around Jizhong. Under the current battlefield situation, it can be said that it has gone through a lot of hardships in order to reach the Jizhong battlefield. At present, except for the coastline, the surrounding areas have already
Tianjin, which was tightly blockaded by the Anti-Japanese Alliance and could even be said to be impenetrable, could not be so easy to reach Jizhong, which was actually not that far away in a straight line.
These Japanese troops could only take the risk of being shot down and take a plane from Tianjin to Qinhuangdao. Then they took a train from Qinhuangdao and secretly arrived in Lushun. Then they boarded several submarines and took advantage of the last opportunity before the Bohai Bay froze to attack the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region.
The weak point of the entire defense zone is the secret landing at night from Langtuozi in Bohai Bay.
Then they kept communications silent and secretly marched westward. Taking advantage of the fact that the Jizhong troops were in the recovery period and the Bohai Navy troops were mainly concentrated around the Cangzhou battlefield, they carefully avoided all villages and adopted the method of resting during the day and marching at night, in Qingzhou
Cross the Jinpu Railway to the north.
It’s just that the Japanese transport aircraft in Tianjin are very limited in number and air transport capacity. Even though Qinhuangdao is not far away from Tianjin, the straight-line distance is not far. But when fierce air battles break out on a large scale almost every day, and the air routes are not safe, Okamura
Even though Neji worked hard to collect them and tried his best, he could only airlift more than 300 people. The original plan of dispatching the whole organization could only be put on hold temporarily.
However, this Japanese special agent team, with a scale of more than 300 people, was able to land at the Langtuozi line, which has the weakest defense in the entire Bohai Navy Region, and traverse the entire Bohai Navy Region without being discovered. Of course, it is not because of their own abilities.
It is so prominent and its penetration ability is really that strong. It can travel hundreds of kilometers across the so-called enemy-controlled area without being discovered by the enemy.
Of course, there is a certain relationship between the painstaking training and the military literacy cultivated and the ability to camouflage. But as the population in the Hebei-Shandong Border Region is not sparse, no matter how good their disguise is, it is impossible for them to have no flaws. Bohai
Even if the troops in the military region have not received special training, they do not have a single discerning person.
They were able to successfully reach Renqiu, apart from the extremely tight planning and the camouflage on their bodies. The most important thing was that there were several Chinese people in the Japanese army who played a key role. It was precisely
Relying on the guidance of these Chinese people, they were able to reach Jizhong relatively smoothly.
And these people are none other than one of them. One was punished for engaging in corruption and openly taking concubines, and before he was transferred to Yan'an to study. After simply assassinating his political commissar, he took his confidants to Tianjin and openly rebelled against the enemy. This was also the case since July 7th.
Incident, the biggest traitor since the Eighteenth Army's eastward march was Xing Renfu, the former commander of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region.
As well as the die-hard subordinates of the former commander of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region, Yang Zhenghou, the former commander of the third division of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region, Chen Zifang, the special agent leader of the third division, and Zhang Ziyuan, the former head of the first regiment of the security brigade of the central Hebei Military Region. These people are
Okamura Neiji was specially selected to carry out this mission.
Xing Renfu was the former commander of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region, and the Bohai Navy Region was formed by the merger of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region and the Qinghe Military Region after his rebellion. Although certain adjustments have been made in terms of cadre deployment and troop establishment, considering the troops
The level of familiarity with our combat areas and the need for supplements and rectifications have generally not changed much.
Before the merger of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region with the Qinghe Military Region, its jurisdiction ranged from the Jinpu Railway and the canal line in the west, to the entire Bohai Bay in the east. It started from the Duliujia River in the Jinnan area in the north, to the Tuhai River in the south, and was separated from the original Qinghe Military Region by the Yellow River.
Xiangwang. Its jurisdiction is just on the circuitous route of Dukai Mountain, and including Cangzhou is the jurisdiction of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region.
After Du Kaishan's main force attacked the Hejian battlefield, the connection between its rear and the Tianjin battlefield was guaranteed by the first unit of the Bohai Navy Region, which was the original Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region troops. In other words, the flank protection of the entire battlefield west of the Jinpu Railway, as well as Du Kaishan's
Behind the scenes, the former Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region is actually responsible.
And in order to participate in this battle, in accordance with the orders of the central government, the Shandong Military Region not only merged the original Hebei Shandong Border Military Region and Qinghe Military Region into the new Bohai Navy Region, but also transferred some of its main forces, upgraded and reorganized them into two main brigades.
In the Cangzhou battlefield, he cooperated with the anti-alliance fraternal forces to fight. In other words, most of the troops left behind in the original Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region were local armed forces with relatively poor combat effectiveness.
Before his rebellion, Xing Renfu not only served as the commander of Du Kaishan's back, but also the commander of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region from Cangzhou to Jinghai. Having participated in the founding and fought here for many years, he was quite familiar with every plant and tree here. And he
Before the rebellion, he had lived on Wangzi Island in Xinhai County for a long time.
After the rebellion, he led some of the troops who had coerced the rebellion into activities around Langtuozi, trying to attract more people to rebel. Although he failed in the end, his familiarity with the Hebei-Shandong border area was that of ordinary cadres, even the former Hebei-Shandong cadres.
Unmatched by most cadres in the Border Military Region.
The entire Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region north of the Tuhai River is a weakly defended area of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region, where you can hide. Food can be raised there, where the troops have poor combat effectiveness, and where there will be anti-Japanese and Bohai forces.
He was quite clear about the key control areas of the military region, where the mass base was relatively poor and the control of the local anti-Japanese armed forces was poor.
