The plan that Zhao Zhi wants to implement in Hebei is very comprehensive and bold. All the anti-Japanese armed forces of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party active in Hebei have been included in this action plan. If Zhao Zhi's plan can be implemented smoothly
, its momentum was no less than that of the Hundred Regiments Campaign conducted by the Eighth Route Army in the North China Theater in 1940.
Since the winter of 1939, the Japanese army occupying North China has used railways and highways as pillars to carry out frequent raids on the anti-Japanese armed forces, and implemented the so-called cage policy of using railways as pillars, highways as chains, and bunkers as locks in an attempt to separate those belonging to the Eighth Route Army.
The connection between various anti-Japanese armed forces. In the second half of 1940, the Eighth Route Army headquarters decided to launch a traffic attack campaign, focusing on attacking the Zhengtai Railway and the northern section of Tongpu Road, to deal a powerful blow to the Japanese North China Front.
More than two years have passed since the Hundred Regiment War led by the Eighth Route Army. In addition, Zhao Zhi's Spark was implemented in Hebei. Various anti-Japanese armed forces sprung up in Hebei. However, the Japanese and puppet troops in Hebei still occupied a dominant position. Almost all the troops in Hebei were
The town is still under the control of the Japanese and puppet troops. If you want to attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops in Hebei, just
In order to show enough strength to attract them, Zhao Zhi divided the entire Hebei into dozens of combat areas based on the intelligence of the Japanese and puppet troops. In each combat area, he deployed one or two fire troops or other anti-Japanese armed forces. Zhao Zhi
The Chinese Communists needed them to use mobile and flexible guerrilla tactics to constantly harass the Japanese and puppet troops, dragging them down and wearing them down.
"Sir, let's do this, okay?" Ye Kong, who joined forces with Zhao Zhi, was a little confused about Zhao Zhi's arrangement. In three days, Zhao Zhi had already met with the commanders of no less than a dozen fire troops. If you count,
The guerrillas who joined the Eighth Route Army controlled more than 4,000 troops in total. Ye Kong was also afraid that Zhao Zhi's cooperation with the Eighth Route Army on such a large scale would arouse suspicion from the National Government.
"It doesn't matter, this is what the chairman agreed. Now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. This operation involves too much. It is impossible for the Fire Force alone to do it. I need more anti-Japanese armed forces who are familiar with the terrain here to participate. The Eighth Route Army's
The guerrilla equipment is not good, but they
Familiar with the terrain." Zhao Zhi smoked a cigarette indifferently. There are troops operating in North China, but they are second-rate troops. They are just fighting the autumn wind here to survive. The only ones Zhao Zhi can really use are the fire troops.
and the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.
The Fire Force, which has more than 10,000 people, is the leading force in Zhao Zhi's action plan. The guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army will be responsible for intelligence collection and material transportation. In any case, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army are indeed good at dealing with the common people.
Much stronger than **, Zhao
Zhike didn't want to see the seized materials have to be given up because they couldn't be transported in time. "Have all our troops arrived?" Zhao Zhi turned his face and looked at Luo Ying, who was once again serving as his orderly. Zhao Zhi came here more than once.
We have brought a reserve sniper unit, and there are still four more
A mercenary team of 0 people also followed.
"The first and second teams have arrived at Neiqiu, and the third and fourth teams are moving towards Lincheng. It is estimated that they will arrive at Lincheng in another two hours." The Lincheng and Neiqiu mentioned by Luo Ying are both in Xingtai and Shijiazhuang.
In the county town between them, Zhao Zhi's first plan was to besiege Xingtai and use encirclement points to
The reinforcement tactics attracted the Japanese and puppet troops in Shijiazhuang. The total number of the four teams of mercenaries was 800, plus several fire troops active in the surroundings. Even if they could not block the Japanese and puppet troops in Shijiazhuang in Lincheng and Neiqiu,
The reinforcements can at least inflict heavy damage on them.
Siege Xingtai is the first step in the plan of the Zhao Zhi volcano. Once the city of Lincheng and Shijiazhuang's Japanese pseudo -army aid, Baoding, Hengshui will also be launched one after another.
Zhao Zhi believes that the Japanese puppet army of Shijiazhuang will have a "comfort" in the next few days. Zhao Zhiben is unwilling to have a large city like Shijiazhuang, but this is the repeated requirement of Chiang Kai -shek.
The situation is a great encouragement, which is also a proof of Chiang Kai -shek's strength.
Attacking Shijiazhuang means that there will be major casualties. There are only less than 20,000 troops under Zhao Zhi's hands that can be mobilized, but he is not worried. Chiang Kai -shek has been secretly associated with four divisions in Shanxi.
The fire forces open the situation, and the ** troops of these four divisions will be directly inserted through Yangquan, Texas, Binzhou, and Binzhou.
As long as the 74th Army around the sea can successfully land in Shandong, Zhao Zhi's entire plan has been successful.
"Contact the troops that have been collected around Xingtai to move towards the scheduled location, and they must reach the position before 4 pm, otherwise the military law will be engaged in." Zhao Zhi held the briefing that the staff just sent by the intelligence staff in his hand.
The specific positions of the various troops are now. Siege Xingtai, Zhao Zhi has mobilized a total of 6 fire troops with a total number of more than 00 people and the Eighth Route Army guerrillas with more than 600 people participated.
The total number of people is close to 1,100, coupled with the three emperor associations that are assigned to them. The total strength of the puppet army of Xingtai Ri Ri is more than 2,500.
There are three 97 -type medium -sized tanks equipped by the puppet army of Xingtai Ri, and 4 iron armored vehicles modified by military trucks.
The 600 Eighth Route Army guerrillas' weapon configuration rate was only two -thirds. Among them, there were many old -fashioned Hanyang old sleeves. The 00 people's fire troops were assembled in the Garland rifle, and
They also brought 6 ribboning light machine guns and 4 Japanese -style Japanese -style 92 heavy machine guns, 12 Japanese -style nine -six light machine guns, mortars and lame -throwing cylinders.
The offensive battle lacks heavy weapons. The puppet army of Xingtai Ri has tanks and mountain artillery infantry guns. Those machine guns on the fire of the fire are obviously not cheap.
Xingtai is just a bait that Zhao Zhi attracts Shijiazhuang's puppet army aid. The attacking forces do not need to really siege the city. They can only remove the Japanese pseudo -army bases around Xingtai according to Zhao Zhi's combat plan.
The Japanese troops' cage policy did not shelter because of the losses in the Hundred Regiments. The Japanese puppet troops who had experienced the Hundred Regiments had built the artillery tower to dig a block in the opposite.
However, the army built several artillery buildings around the village. The first goal of Zhao Zhi was the artillery tower of these puppet troops. The Japanese army wanted to use these artillery buildings and the Chinese people in the occupation area in the occupation area.
They succeed.
"Sir, there is news from Thailand." Luo Ying trotted over and handed the telegram he had just received to Zhao Zhi. The war in Thailand has nothing to do with what is happening here. All news about the war in Thailand must not be discussed casually. This is what Zhao Zhi brought.
The order was issued before the team entered Shanxi, so this order came from Thailand
Only Luo Ying, who was responsible for sending and receiving telegrams, knew the content. Three days ago, the Thai royal family had surrendered to the besieged Joey on behalf of the entire Thailand. However, Joey did not stop going south. The new order given to him by Zhao Zhi was to take over the entire Thai navy.
The ships were guarding the harbor and waiting for backup troops to take over the defense.
Zhao Zhi doesn't care at all how many people the small gunboats of the Thai Navy can carry. The situation in Hebei is better than he imagined. If the four divisions assembled in Shanxi can cooperate well with Xiao Ziyun's Burmese mercenary troops
, it is not impossible to cut off Shandong directly by land. Cut off the Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong from heading north.
Road, Zhao Zhi will be able to have several suitable landing places along the coast of Shandong. Once the US fleet defeats the Japanese navy in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, the Bohai Bay controlled by Zhao Zhi will become the landing site for the entire counterattack plan, which is regarded by Chiang Kai-shek as
Huben's 74th Army was able to land from the Bohai Bay and move south towards Nanjing.
Chiang Kai-shek was very supportive of this bold plan formulated by Zhao Zhi. Even if the plan failed, the Nationalist Government would only lose the guerrillas active in Hebei. However, the four divisions of ** troops starting from Shanxi could be hired in Burma.
With the cooperation of the army, the entire Henan province was taken back.
If things go well, maybe he can get part of Shandong back. But Chiang Kai-shek didn't know Zhao Zhi's ultimate purpose of formulating this volcano plan. If he knew what Zhao Zhi's purpose was, he might not support Zhao Zhi so much.
Yes, because Zhao Zhi is taking advantage of the situation, taking advantage of the situation.
Cutting off the way for the Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong to go north and the Japanese and puppet troops in North China to go south is the result that Zhao Zhi wanted for this plan. However, this was only the purpose Zhao Zhi told Chiang Kai-shek, and his real intention was to control the Bohai Bay. No
Wrong, controlling the Bohai Bay will make it easier for the 74th Army or the
Other Japanese troops who took the sea route landed in Shandong, but the Bohai Bay is still adjacent to North Korea. Zhao Zhi did not have ships in the past, but now he has them. As long as the ships snatched from the Thais arrive in the Bohai Bay, Zhao Zhi will be there at any time.
Can send mercenary troops to North Korea or Jeju Island by sea.
Zhao Zhi cannot defend the Bohai Bay with his own strength, but if this place is turned into a landing site and military port, with the assistance of the US military and the Kuomintang, it is no longer a fantasy for Zhao Zhi to control the Bohai Bay. Take the sea route south.
The plan had been being perfected when Zhao Zhi sent troops to Thailand, but at that time
Zhao Zhi wanted to seize the seaport in Vietnam. After Chiang Kai-shek summoned Zhao Zhi to Chongqing, Zhao Zhi had the idea of going south to control the Bohai Bay. Even if the operation to cross the sea to North Korea failed, Zhao Zhi could still attack the Japanese and puppet troops in the Northeast from the Bohai Bay.
It posed a threat and prevented them from sending more troops southward without any scruples.
