Ambush, another ambush. As Okamura Yasuji expected, the reinforcements he sent from Jinan were indeed in a hurry, but they were not heading to Texas, but in Jiyang. A total of 20,000 well-equipped Jewish troops
An intercepted Okamura Yanji's mixed division regiment in the direction of Jiyang to Zibo. The power of the large-caliber Browning heavy machine gun on the plain was fully demonstrated, and the artillery fire of the Jewish troops was fired, and the Japanese mixed division was mixed.
The ball was beaten so hard that it was breathless.
The combat effectiveness of the Jewish army is not comparable to that of the Myanmar troops. The Jewish army equipped with all American equipment is almost armed. Faced with the Japanese and puppet troops using bolt-action rifles, the Jewish army was very easy to fight and could not even wait.
When the subsequent troops came to help, they had already driven the Japanese mixed division back to Jiyang. "First surrounded, let these Japanese monkeys live for a while before the boss gave the order." Command the Jewish army
The commander of the vanguard troops ordered the siege of the Japanese and puppet troops to surround the remaining enemies. It was not that he did not want to fight, but that his troops had more important tasks.
Jinan is the must-set goal of Zhao Zhi. Going west to Yucheng was the task of Zhao Zhi dispatching them this vanguard force. The numerous Japanese and puppet troops around Yucheng were their targets. When they were in Hebei the first two times, Zhao Zhi was both
It is the harassing tactic that accumulates a lot, but this time it is different. The US fleet has sent the first 30,000 Jewish soldiers. Including the Burmese troops left in Jiaodong, Zhao Zhi decided to take Jinan.
Even if he couldn't take Jinan, he would still deal a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet troops in Jinan.
The battle situation has just begun, everything is still uncertain. Everything depends on whether Song Shi can firmly entangle Okamura Nishiji, the old fox. As long as Okamura Nishiji cannot come back to Jinan, Zhao Zhi formulated the combat plan
Even if it is completely halfway. "Sir, the Liaocheng Reserve Army sent a telegram to ask about the operation time. Their vanguard troops have arrived in Wei County." Xingtai was deliberately thrown to Okamura Yanji. Since he was going to attack Jinan, then
Xingtai and Hengshui naturally have to get it back by the way. Liaocheng's 300,000 reserve troops are the best candidates for this mission.
"If they want to take action now, taking Xingtai can just cut off Okamura's retreat. If Song Shi's progress goes well, Okamura's Ningji can only go to Shijiazhuang." He leaned over and looked at the map carefully, Zhao Zhi
Finally, an order was issued to take action by the reserve army. The 300,000 reserve army stationed in Liaocheng has been scattered. The Special High School did not know the specific number of the Chinese army. The reserve army, which had been trained for more than a year and a half, finally ushered in
Their first battle.
In the war in the Age of Hot Weapons, a situation where the battle will fall will occur unless it is a battle with relatively large disparity in troops. Okamura's defenders in Xingtai were two infantry brigades and an Imperial Army garrison regiment, but Okamura's defenders were two infantry brigades and one imperial army garrison regiment.
Murai Niji didn't know that the Imperial Army garrison regiment had already received Zhao Zhi's order of surrender. Once Zhao Zhi took action against Xingtai, the Imperial Army garrison regiment that seemed to be dependent on the Japanese army would be Zhao Zhi.
Insider support.
"Okay, good fight, the Gongcai led the troops to command it already tasted a bit far away, good." Xingtai's report of the battle of 30,000 people from the reserve army vanguard was sent back to the Nan'an Villa in Chongqing as soon as possible.
Chiang Kai-shek, who had not been so comfortable for a long time, shouted joy. The one he called Gong Cai was Xiao Zijian, who was the commander of the reserve army. He was Xiao Ziyun's brother and a side branch of their Jiang family. He was a young officer strongly recommended by Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi's employment is different from Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek's employment not only depends on whether the person is talented, but also on whether the person is loyal, but Zhao Zhi is different. Zhao Zhi only has one person to employ, and he must have commanding talents.
The reserve army is an all-American equipment unit. The officers leading the team must have a different mind than the commander of the **, and have the ability to exert the power of those new weapons and equipment. They must learn from Zhao Zhi for more than 2 years.
Xiao Zijian is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Xingtai was the first battle of the reserve army. In order to succeed in the first battle, Zhao Zhi did not hesitate to dispatch the second armored division to the reserve army. Chiang Kai-shek in the villa on the south bank would naturally not formulate these, and Xiao Zijian would not take the initiative to inform Chiang Kai-shek of this time.
After the gratifying explanation, the fourth one not only praised Xiao Zijian as simple as it was, but also awarded the reserve army the number "Youth Army". Among the officers who were from Xiao Zijian, the oldest was only in their 30s, and the youngest battalion commander was only in their 30s.
, This is not the youth army, what is it?
"Immediately send the battle report to various newspapers, and we must vigorously publicize the achievements of the young army and prepare for the chairman to expand the army." Zhao Zhisan went to Shanxi and began to publish the battle report on the front line in the newspapers has become a practice of the government. Because every time, it is time to do so.
After the newspaper publicity, there will always be a wave of enlistment in the Kuomintang-controlled area. Naturally, the propaganda department of the government cannot let go of this great victory for the Youth Army.
Young officers and educated soldiers are better able to adapt to new equipment and tactics. This is what Zhao Zhi discussed in the last time in the villa of Nan'an and the four explanations. The Youth Army's first victory has verified this point. It is two different from the Japanese army in Xingtai.
Compared with the destruction of an infantry brigade, the casualties of the hundreds of people in the Youth Army were simply negligible. I believe that Chiang Kai-shek had seen the necessity of rejuvenating the troops and becoming more qualitative.
Compared with the joy of Chongqing, the caves in Yan'an are much quieter, because the top high-rise buildings gathered in the caves have now become big smoke bluffs, especially the most fiercely. "Our kid is very good at making a big move.
I really didn't expect that even Okamura Neji was fooled by him. It seems that Shandong is going to be taken down by Thunder." Peng Dehuai's words exuded a sour smell. When Zhao Zhi led his troops to Jiaodong,
**I thought it was Zhao Zhi who lost to Okamura's Neji's move to preserve his strength, but now it seems that they were wrong.
Zhao Zhi was just playing Okamura Yanji. He retreated to Jiaodong to facilitate the smooth landing of the subsequent troops. Yangquan sent troops to Shijiazhuang just to instruct Okamura Yanji to disperse his troops. Jinan was Zhao Zhi's real purpose, or
It can be said that from the beginning, Zhao Zhi's purpose was Jinan. "Yes, who would have thought that he retreated to Jiaodong just to support the landing of the 74th Army. If Chiang Kai-shek really invested in it, he actually told the Americans to send a fleet.
I guess the Japanese wouldn't have expected to help him transport troops." He Long nodded in agreement.
"I think the Americans dispatched fleets should not be related to the National Government. Don't forget that Zhao Zhi has a very close relationship with the Americans. The Rowling family is one of the largest families in the United States. They have a great influence in the US Congress.
"Zhou Enlai still maintained his usual wisdom and calmness. When everyone was disagreeing, he was the only one who hit the real reason for the help of the US fleet.
"The 74th Army is already splitting its troops to attack Dezhou and Binzhou. Now they have taken Xingtai again. Is it the next step to Hengshui and Jinan?" The people who attended the meeting raised new questions, according to Zhao Zhi's usual practice
, having Okamura Yasuji had such a big circle, it would never be as simple as just to support the 74th Army landing in Jiaodong.
"The information I just obtained, Zhao Zhi's Jewish troops had landed in Jiaodong, and their vanguard troops had just defeated Okamura Nishiji from Jinan to Dezhou and surrounded the remaining enemies in Jiyang."
The new information received by Li Kenong's house. This belated information made the top officials in the cave stunned because they could not have imagined that Zhao Zhi's Jewish troops also landed in Jiaodong.
"This is the situation of fighting a big battle." The ** who had not spoken, wiped out the cigarette butts in his hand. The domestic anti-Japanese war momentum had begun to reverse in a positive direction, but the Jinsui army and ** locked Shanxi to death.
Yes, the Eighth Route Army is not having a good life now. Although we don’t have to face the Japanese army, we have to bear the friction with the Jinsui Army and the ** at any time. The National Government and the *** have never been able to deal with each other, and the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in Hebei have passed by.
After two pull-up clearances by the Japanese and puppet troops, one out of ten is gone. If Shandong is also occupied by the National Government, the Eighth Route Army will believe that the future life will be even more difficult.
"You are ready. Since our children are going to attack Shandong, we can't sit still." **'s words made Peng Dehuai and his military generals come to their spirits, and they have been raising their energy in Shanxi for almost a year.
The forces of the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army have exceeded three times, and they are always unable to fight, but they are a little restless. Since the central government has the idea of letting the Eighth Route Army go out, there will be some future battles for the Eighth Route Army.
"Would you like to communicate with Zhao Zhi first? His Jewish and Myanmar troops don't even listen to Chiang Kai-shek's words? I'm afraid there will be friction with our troops at that time." Zhou Enlai was a little worried, and Li Kenong's subordinates had someone.
I have been to Myanmar and have also seen those Jewish soldiers. According to the information they brought back, those Jews were all Jewish civilians brought back from Europe by Zhao Zhi. Those Jewish troops were Jewish from top to bottom, and they only obeyed Zhao.
The command of the sect.
"You can have a good time with Zhao Zhi first, but the troops must be prepared to set out at any time, especially those bases in Shandong, we must also be prepared to attack." The Eighth Route Army also has bases in Shandong, but they are all established based on mountainous areas.
The small base areas are not connected into pieces. If the Eighth Route Army attacks smoothly and some of them can be connected into pieces, the Eighth Route Army will have much better life in the future.
"Okay, let them come. The more troops participating in the war, the fewer cards Okamura Nishi's hand will be. Our mission is just to help regain Shandong. Other things are not something we Thunder need to pay attention to."
After the telegram sent, Zhao Zhi expressed it very much. The purpose of thunder was not this. The fight between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was meaningless to Zhao Zhi because the Japanese had to be driven out of China before this.
