Rebirth of the Red Star Legend 1009, Rebirth of the Red Star Legend Text Chapter 1009 New Year Gift (Continued)
This article comes from [心 ~ 心 ~ Piao Tianwen] The Japanese used heavy troops to surround the central and southern Shandong base areas. While repairing railways and highways, they also launched crazy sweeps in other base areas and implemented cage policies (high-quality texts first, all in %). If it weren't for the support of the authentic Taoist network, Hebei, southern Hebei, southwestern Shandong, western Shandong, borders of Hebei, and Jiaodong would have been completely occupied by the Japanese army.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Liu Yimin found Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng and Wang Laohu, and said to the three people with a gloomy face: "We have such a powerful special forces, but the Japanese special forces team actually touched the command center and injured the Chief of Staff who stayed in the inside command. This is the shame of the Special Forces Command! It is the shame of our entire army in Shandong! The Chief of Staff's revenge must be reported immediately, and the shame of our one-day delay will be more severe. This time, all armed forces in the central and southern Shandong region were dispatched to form three assault groups, and at the same time, against Shandong.
The enemy in Nan, Tai'an and Lu launched a strong attack, used powerful artillery fire to open the road, tear open the gap on the Japanese defense line, and destroy the Japanese railway. You must take the opportunity to sneak into the Japanese defense line, form multiple special combat arrows, kill him, fly blood and blood, and avenge the Chief of Staff! The first target is the Japanese special forces; the second is the railway and highway bridge, completely erase the Japanese road construction results, forcing them to start over; the third is the commanders and special forces at all levels who hunt the Japanese. Do you have confidence?"
Revenge for Zeng Zhongsheng is one reason, and another reason is that Liu Yimin wants to disrupt the Japanese army's plan to repair railways and establish blockade lines, and further mobilize the Japanese army to concentrate on Jiaoji Road, Jinpu Road and Longhai Road.
Tada Jun was trying to drive the tiger into the cage, trapping the main force of the Shandong Eighth Route Army in the mountainous area of central and southern Shandong to cover his sweeping of other bases of the Eighth Route Army; Liu Yimin wanted to turn central and southern Shandong into a powerful magnet, absorb the main force of the Japanese to the magnet, and cover the counter-sweeping of other bases. The needle was aimed at the wheat. It depends on who hit the seven inches first.
Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Laohu have now completed rest. He was stimulated by Liu Yimin and was so excited that he was fighting. The three of them stood at attention and shouted: "Kill!"
Liu Yimin nodded and told Li Lingfeng to immediately formulate a special war plan and implement it immediately.
Liu Yimin wanted to give the Japanese a New Year gift. In the North China Front Army headquarters, Tada Jun is also discussing with Yoshizuru Ryosuke, Hirata Masato, Kinishi Toshiko, Yoshioka and others to give a New Year gift to the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, the war was fought. Both commanders were counted together in terms of major strategic plans.
Liu Yimin wanted to disrupt the rhythm of the Japanese army building railways and roads and blockade lines, and let the Japanese dying blood, so that the Japanese dying would consume as much military, financial and material resources as possible on Jiaoji Road, Jinpu Road, and Longhai Road, covering other bases against sweeping operations and restoring bases.
Tada Jun is not stupid either. He knows that Liu Yimin's main force is resting and replenishing in central and southern Shandong. Once Liu Yimin's main force completes resting and replenishing, it is a tiger trapped in a cage, eager to get out of trouble. No matter where this hungry tiger pounces on, it will inevitably bite the opponent. Tada Jun does not want to be bitten by the tiger, so he has to take the initiative to disrupt the pace of resting and replenishing in Liu Yimin's main force. Let them be in the process of resting and replenishing, and they don't have to worry about causing trouble for the Japanese army.
Through the early sweep, the Japanese army's intelligence system was restored, which could provide certain intelligence support for the troops' operations. Yoshioka, the Minister of the Special Service of the North China Front Army, finally figured out the number of Shandong Eighth Route Army troops. The first type is the main force led by the word "teaching", with a total of eight teaching brigades. This is Liu Yimin's real main force, which was brought by Liu Yimin from the Red Army's Long March, and it is also the capital for him to make trouble with the Imperial Army; the second type is the new brigade, equipment and force are slightly inferior to the various teaching brigades, and they are also the main force. There are also eight; the third type is the detachment, the security brigade, the three detachments of the Tai'an Detachment, the Southeast Shandong Detachment, the Logistics Detachment, the Taixi Guard Brigade, the Jinan Guard Brigade, the Qinghe Guard Brigade, the Central Shandong Guard Brigade, the Jiaodong Guard Brigade, the Western Shandong Guard Brigade, and the Shandong Guard Brigade.
The Second Western Garrison Brigade, the Southwest Shandong Garrison Brigade, and the South Shandong Garrison Brigade. The combat effectiveness of each security brigade is uneven, and the establishment time is early. After many battles and training, it is also the main force. Some security brigades with short-term formation time, such as the Southern Shandong Garrison Brigade, have no artillery fire and have poor combat effectiveness. The fourth category is local armed forces. They are mainly independent regiments, independent battalions, county brigades, district brigades, and militias in various places, all of which are light weapons, fighting guerrillas behind the Imperial Army, and involving the energy of the Imperial Army are mainly these local armed forces with great conscience. Liu Yimin's main force is mainly used for war. In addition, Liu Yimin's headquarters has a cavalry brigade, artillery brigade, air defense brigade, engineering brigade, baggage brigade, and heavy machine gun brigade. Among them, the heavy machine gun brigade has only one regiment, which is used for firepower support for war.
Unfortunately, Yoshioka cannot provide more detailed information on the names, combat styles, and firepower of the Eighth Route Army units. In this way, Tada Jun was already overjoyed. He praised Yoshioka many times and patted Yoshioka on the shoulder and shouted Yoshioka. Because whether it was Sakaichi Temple or Susan Yuan, he fought with Liu Yimin's troops for more than two years, but he did not find out the number of Liu Yimin's troops, only he, Tada Jun, had figured it out.
After clarifying the numbers of the Eighth Route Army units, Tada Jun’s combat goals became clear, and the New Year gift he gave to the Eighth Route Army was basically taken shape.
According to Tada Jung's plan, it is necessary to seize the traditional customs of the Chinese people for the Spring Festival and catch the Eighth Route Army off guard. In Tada Jung's words, the Eighth Route Army usually drills into the ravine and tunnels. During the Chinese New Year, they always have to come out to ventilate and eat dumplings. What the Imperial Army wants is this opportunity, catch the Eighth Route Army off guard when it is most paralyzed.
According to Tada Jun's guiding ideology, Chief of Staff Yoshizuru Ryosuke formulated a combat plan. This combat plan was very sinister. He built a plank road openly and crossed Chencang secretly, and concentrated his army to attack the mountainous areas of central and southern Shandong. In fact, he pointed his finger at the Second Education Brigade, the New Second Brigade, the Western Shandong Guard Brigade, and the Second Shandong Guard Brigade in western Shandong. In Tada Jun's words, it was to completely defeat western Shandong in one battle.
To this end, the North China Front Army planned to mobilize the First Guard Division, the 32nd Division, the 36th Division, the Independent Mixed 17th and 18th Brigades, and the puppet army Li Wenli's troops launched an attack from Anqiu, Gaomi and Jiaoxian to the northern part of central and southern Shandong; mobilize the 29th Division, the 114th Division, the 9th Division, and the Manchu advance to advance, and the Independent Mixed 22nd Brigade, and the Xuzhou garrison launched an attack on southern Shandong; mobilize the Second Guard Division, the 12th Division, and the 27th Division to launch an attack from western central and southern Shandong.
The three armies surrounded Central and Southern Shandong, which seemed to be aggressive, but in fact, the Japanese army's combat plan clearly stated that it was limited attack. The northern road was only allowed to attack to the front line of Zhucheng. The southern road was only allowed to attack to the front line of Tancheng. The eastern road was only allowed to capture Fei County. No unit was allowed to attack the hinterland of the mountainous areas of Central and Southern Shandong to avoid being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. Because Liu Yimin was in Central and Southern Shandong, whether it was Tada Jun or Yoshisuke, they were all worried and were afraid of repeating the tragedy of one and two divisions being wiped out.
While the three armies surrounded central and southern Shandong, the Japanese army planned to mobilize the 37th Division stationed in Deshi Road, the 40th Division stationed in De County, the 41st Division located in Liaocheng and the puppet North China Security Army of the four groups to carry out a large-scale net-style sweep in western Shandong, find the main force of the Eighth Route Army's western Shandong troops, and encircle and annihilate them.
In order to cooperate with the mobilization of western Shandong, the North China Front Army ordered the Japanese troops stationed in southern Hebei, central Hebei, borders of Hebei, northwestern Shandong, southwestern Shandong, and Jiaodong to launch a mobilization operation to attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army and cover their combat intentions against western Shandong.
After reading the combat plan, Tada Jung said to Yoshizuru Ryosuke, Hirata Masato, Kinisho Toshi, Yoshioka: "Yoxi! No matter how cunning Liu Yimin is, I never thought that my real target of attack was Luxi. Luxi's elite Second Education Brigade, New Second Brigade, Luxi Guard Brigade, and Luxi Guard Brigade. Four brigades have troops. There are also a large number of local armed forces. As long as we succeed in attacking in Luxi, it is equivalent to cutting off one of Liu Yimin's arm. Without Luxi's Eighth Routes
The army, the Eighth Route Army on the Hebei-Shandong border, the Eighth Route Army on the southwestern Shandong, the Eighth Route Army on the southern part of Hebei, and the Eighth Route Army in the central part of Hebei have all become wandering souls under the cauldron and can only be eliminated by the Imperial Army one by one. When we eliminate the Eighth Route Army in these areas, we can rush the army eastward to solve the Eighth Route Army in Qinghe, Jiaolai, Jiaodong, and Taixi. Humph, the mountainous areas of central Shandong occupied by Liu Yimin will eventually become an isolated island, and even starve him to death! Jun, how about this New Year gift we prepared for Liu Yimin?"
There was a hint of air conditioning in Tada Jun's words, but it was extremely helpful in the ears of Yoshisu Ryosuke and others. The old Japanese all had red faces and laughed.
Tada Jun now has sufficient troops, and after this period of replenishment, the Japanese troops have recovered their combat effectiveness. However, the supply is not sufficient, which is also the main reason why Tada Jun ordered the troops attacking central and southern Shandong to be able to attack feints.
There is another reason. Since the Eighth Route Army launched the Battle of Southern Shandong, the main force of the 10th Division rebuilt by the Japanese army was annihilated and the 38th Division was annihilated. The Shijiazhuang garrison was annihilated, the Qingdao garrison was annihilated, and the Abe brigade was annihilated. The North China Front Army was simply synonymous with failure. Although Tada Jun commanded the heavy army to capture a large swathe of land in the Eighth Route Army base, he had to guard heavily, which consumed a lot of war resources. The Japanese government and the opposition were facing China.
The Northern Front Army has long been full of criticism. The newly appointed Prime Minister Mine Hiromasa even proposed to replace the commander of the North China Front Army and send other generals with more offensive spirit to deal with the Eighth Route Army. Although Tada Jun always requests to resign when he encounters a major defeat, he even has to have a caesarean section. In fact, he is not willing to lose this position at this time, because he also expects to receive the Golden Rooster Medal and the rank of general as the commander of the North China Front Army!
The third reason is that in recent times, as the Japanese army gang besieged the mountainous areas of central and southern Shandong, the troops stationed in Mongolia were knocked out by the 115th Division. The Japanese First Army's mobilization of the Eighth Route Army base in Shanxi had to abruptly end. As a result, the Eighth Route Army on the two main battlefields in Shanxi and Shandong began to launch offensive operations, ambushing small Japanese and puppet troops, pulling out sporadic strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops, actively recovering the base area, and the Japanese and puppet troops were confused, and there were gunfire and the urgent sounds of the Japanese and puppet troops everywhere.
The fourth reason is that the Japanese army repaired the railway and the highway was progressing smoothly. Longhai Road has been completely repaired and opened to traffic, Jiaoji Road has also been restored and opened to traffic. Only some sections of southern Shandong have not been restored. It will be possible to open to traffic in the entire line in the near future. Moreover, the construction of Deshi Road has been fully launched. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be completed and opened to traffic in July and August this year.
What Tada Jun needs most now is time, which is the time to repair railways and highways, and build a traffic blockade network. He was eager to launch an offensive operation so that the Eighth Route Army could not destroy his plan to build railways and implement a cage policy.
Several reasons gathered together, forcing Tada Shizuki to launch a retaliatory battle without sufficient preparation, in order to achieve major results, improve the public security situation in North China, and also change the views of the local government and opposition on the North China Front Army.
Tada Jun ordered Yoshioka to do everything possible to collect information and provide all attacking troops with as detailed information as possible, such as the accurate position of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in western Shandong.
Tada Jun said it clearly, seducing women with sex, buying with gold tickets, and torture prisoners. No matter what measures the secret service agencies take, the Front Army Command supports it. There is only one purpose, that is, to obtain accurate information from the Eighth Route Army.
Yoshioka performed well during this period and was commended by Tada Shizuki many times. He saw that he became the second major spy leader of the North China Front Army after Kita Seiichi. He also expanded his ambitions. He was eager to be the lieutenant general and eager to show his performance. He implemented Tada Shizuki's orders thoroughly and resolutely. In front of Tada Shizuki, he loudly promised to complete the task resolutely.
The mission of Toshiba Kinoshita's Third Flight Group was heavy. Because Xuzhou Airport and Jinan Airport had not been restored, the Japanese army was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would attack the airport again and dared not put the forward airport repairs too close to the battlefield, resulting in a significant increase in flight costs. Especially aviation gasoline, because the United States suspended the Japan-US Air Trade Treaty, the Japanese army could no longer obtain a liter of gasoline from the United States and could only use reserve gasoline. The military's use of aviation gasoline began to be controlled. Toshiba Kinoshita had to consider the fuel consumption problem of long-distance operations.
Not only Kinoshita Toshiba has to consider the fuel issue, but also Tada Jung and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese dispatched army, Suzuo Nishio, had to consider this issue. Even the mainland minister Shanyuan and Prince Saihito of the General Staff Station had to consider this issue. The entire Japanese senior management has now hated the Americans to the core, believing that the Americans are a roadblock for the Japanese army to expand their aggression. Just imagine, if there is not enough fuel, the plane cannot fly, the warships cannot move, and the tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and motorcycles are all in their arms. What is the difference between the elite Japanese army and the Chinese army?
The Japanese base camp has now secretly formulated a plan to start war against Britain and the United States, and has begun to comprehensively collect information from Pearl Harbor, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.
No matter how tight the fuel is, Kinoshita Toshiba still has to support the operations of the North China Front Army, right? It’s just that it can no longer dispatch large-scale aircraft fleets like in the past. It has to reduce the size of aircraft fleets to maintain continuous air cover.
Everything is ready, Tada Jun set the Japanese army's full attack time at 7 a.m. on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
