Tada Shun's surprise is yet to come.
At this time, Commander-in-Chief Zhu had returned to Xi'an to assist the Chairman in directing the comprehensive military struggle. The Eighth Route Army headquarters actually became the Eighth Route Army forward headquarters. Mr. Peng resigned from the post of Shaanxi Joint Defense Commander and returned to the front line to preside over the work of the headquarters.
Since Tada Shun implemented the cage policy, the Japanese First Army established a blockade in Shanxi relying on the Tongpu Railway, Zhengtai Road and highway, dividing the Eighth Route Army base area into several pieces, making them incompatible. After Liu Yimin led the main force of Shandong to capture Shimen by surprise, they
Parts of Zhengtai Road and Pinghan Road were destroyed, paralyzing these two railways. However, because Shimen was a Japanese army in North China,
As an important transportation hub, Japanese troops swarmed in, and our army had to avoid the enemy's edge and move covertly. After the Japanese troops reoccupied Shimen, they stationed the 11th Division at Pinghan Road and the 5th Brigade at Shimen.
.These two troops are elite divisions of the Japanese army. Relying on Pinghan Road and cooperating with the First Army in frantic raids and retaliation, Zhengtai Road and Pinghan Road were quickly restored to traffic.
Originally, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi at this time was much stronger than in history. Unfortunately, because Chiang Kai-shek brazenly attacked Shaanxi and captured northern Sichuan and Longnan, hundreds of thousands of troops did not go to fight the Japanese, but instead stared at them.
Staring at Qinchuan eight hundred miles long, the main force of the reorganized and expanded security division of the Red Fifth Army of the Eighth Route Army and the reorganized and expanded security division of the Ninth Red Army stationed in Shaanxi suffered heavy losses. The main Shanxi force of the Eighth Route Army that returned to Shaanxi could not
If you don't stay in Shaanxi to take charge of Shaanxi's defense and cover the rest and replenishment of the Shaanxi troops, you can't all return to the Shanxi battlefield for the time being. Even the 129th Division and the **Division Artillery Regiment brought back by Mr. Peng have stayed in Shaanxi. The artillery regiment and the air defense regiment are directly under the headquarters.
After the artillery was transported back, it was directly installed into the troops and put into training. There was no way, Chiang Kai-shek was a man with a firm mind. As long as he had the chance, he might start another civil war, so we had to guard against it!
In this regard, the Eighth Route Army's troops on the battlefield in Shanxi were larger than in history.
After the defeat in the Guinan Battle and the Zaoyi Battle, pessimism and despair grew within the Kuomintang regime in the rear area, and Wang Jingwei's puppet government launched aggressive activities to induce surrender. Some wavering people could not withstand the temptation and threw themselves into Wang Jingwei's arms one after another. If no effective measures were taken,
If it is stopped, there will be a situation where the generals will be reduced like hair and the generals will be reduced like tide.
The Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Base Area was surrounded by heavy Kuomintang troops. On the battlefield in Shanxi, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Hebei-Cha War Zone troops had ambiguous attitudes. After the death of Norihide Abe in battle, the Japanese army once again launched a raid on northwestern Shanxi. The Eighth Route Army was at an extremely disadvantageous position against a stubborn Japanese and puppet attack.
among.
In order to break the Japanese army's blockade of the Shanxi base area, strongly support our army's anti-mopping operations in Shandong, and prevent the spread of pessimistic surrender sentiments within the Kuomintang, the Eighth Route Army headquarters determined to carry out sabotage operations against the Japanese army's communication lines.
On the night of July 15, our army from Shandong launched a surprise attack and captured Jinan. A week later, the Eighth Route Army headquarters issued a battle preparation order to attack the Japanese army's communication lines.
On the evening of July 22, our army in Shandong completely wiped out the 29th Division of the Japanese Army in Mengyin. When the news came, Zhu, Peng, and Zuo immediately issued a "Battle Preparation Order", ordering the 115th Division, the 120th Division, the 129th Division, and the ** Division.
Mobilize and prepare to launch the Battle of Zhengtai Road with the main goal of attacking Zhengtai Road.
On August 8, Zhu, Peng, and Zuo issued the "Campaign Operation Order", which stipulated that the 115th Division and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region should attack the Shijiazhuang-Yangquan (exclusive) section of the Zhengtai Railway, the Beiping-Shimen section of Pinghan Road, and the Beining Railway section;
The ** division breaks through the Shota Iron
The section from Yangquan (inclusive) to Yuci, and the section south of Pingyao on the Tongpu Railway; the 120th Division attacked the Tongpu Railway north of Xinkou, and the 129th Division attacked Pinghan Road. All ministries were required to attack the traffic lines while
Some strongholds occupied by the Japanese army were recovered one after another.
This battle plan has similarities and differences with the battle plans in the early stages of the Hundred Regiment War in history. The common point is that they both regard the attack on Pinghan Road as the main battle target. The difference is that the scale of this battle plan is much larger, and the troops used are also smaller.
Much more. At the beginning of the launch, the Tongpu Railway and Pinghan Road were included in the attack range.
This is all thanks to Liu Yimin's time travel. The Eighth Route Army has grown in advance, won more battles, and the commander's mind has broadened. In addition, our army in Shandong has won one glorious victory after another, and these big brother troops have been promoted from division commanders to division commanders.
From political commissars to cadres and soldiers, they all screamed in excitement. Who doesn’t want to use Japanese weapons, eat canned beef, and wear Japanese leather shoes? Who doesn’t want to drive the little devils out of China as soon as possible?
On August 20, following an order from the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the main force of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army was launched across the board.
In fact, such a large-scale move by the Eighth Route Army could not escape the eyes of the intelligence personnel and traitors of the Japanese First Army. However, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army, made a mistake in his judgment and believed that the large-scale mobilization of the Eighth Route Army was to fight war.
The Kuomintang troops should have retaliated against the friction between the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Hebei-Chacha War Zone troops some time ago. Therefore, the Japanese army did not take timely measures.
Hit the snake seven inches. The Zhengtai Road connects Shanxi and Hebei, and is also connected to Shandong through the just-completed Deshi Road. As long as the Eighth Route Army cuts off the Zhengtai Road, it will close off the units of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, and the little devils will inevitably fall into
Crazy state. Shotai Road is the key transportation link of the Japanese army.
The 115th Division and the ** Division of the Eighth Route Army sent elite troops to attack Zhengtai Road.
Niangzi Pass is the throat of Shanxi and Hebei. During the Battle of Taiyuan, there was a fierce battle here, which ended with the Japanese army capturing Niangzi Pass and the two groups from the north and the south encircling Taiyuan. When Liu Yimin went north to regain Taiyuan in the first battle of the Anti-Japanese War, he used special warfare tactics to attack Niangzi Pass.
, beat the little devil until he cried for his father and mother.
On August 20, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Fifth Regiment of the Right Column of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region rushed towards Niangziguan under the command of regiment leader Chen Zulin and political commissar Xiao Feng.
After the Japanese army reoccupied Niangzi Pass, they built four more large bunkers on the basis of the original fortifications, forming a tight cross-fire network.
The Japanese troops stationed at Niangziguan were the Ikeda Ghost Squadron of the Shotai Road garrison. One part was stationed at the hilltop fortifications, and the main force defended Niangziguan Station. There were also some puppet troops stationed in Niangziguan Village under the pass.
Although the Japanese and puppet troops are not large, they rely on Niangziguan Tianxian to set up defenses. If they attack by force, even a single regiment may not be able to attack it.
The Eighth Route Army was a force that performed miracles. After Chen Zulin and Xiao Feng accepted the mission, they spread the news three days ago that the Eighth Route Army was coming to attack Niangziguan. The Japanese squadron leader General Ikeda was suspicious. When there was no movement, he wanted to patrol and investigate.
Find out whether there are any Eighth Route Army activities in the surrounding areas so that you can report them to your superiors.
For three days, Lieutenant Ikeda led most of his troops on patrols and sweeps around the area. It was a hot day and the roads were all mountainous. Even if the little devil was patrolling on a motorcycle, he would be exhausted.
On the evening of the 20th, while Lieutenant Ikeda was leading the Japs on patrol, two companies of the second battalion commanded by Chen Zulin and Xiao Feng sneaked into Niangziguan Village without anyone noticing. The puppet troops in the village were not prepared at all.
In a daze, he surrendered and surrendered.
At this time, the main force of the Japanese squadron led by Ikeda had just returned from patrol. He jumped off his motorcycle and gathered the troops to give a lecture. Just as he was about to give the order to disband, the clear cry of the Czech light machine gun sounded, click, click, click, and a bunch of bullets pounced on the Japanese.
In the team, three little Japs were shot and fell to the ground immediately.
Ikeda was shocked and immediately ordered his troops to seize the fortifications and fight back.
At the same time, part of the Fifth Regiment launched a two-pronged attack on the Japanese fortifications on the top of Niangziguan Mountain, feigning a frontal attack from the bottom of the mountain to the pass, and attacking from behind the pass in a roundabout way.
The main force of the Japanese garrison squadron was blocked at the station, and the four Japanese bunkers were empty of troops, only a small squadron.
Under the cover of fire, the soldiers set up ladders and climbed up, hoping to rush up.
The Japanese army was suddenly attacked and fought back desperately. All machine guns and rifles opened fire, and grenades were thrown down the mountain. The ladder prepared by our army was also damaged by the grenade. The soldiers hurriedly hit the ladder, took off their leggings, connected them to long ropes, and threw them to
Close hands and small trees to climb.
The blood of the martyrs flows down the cliffs of Niangziguan.
Just when the frontal feint attack was frustrated, the troops detouring from behind the pass approached the Japanese bunker. In an instant, grenades flew towards the Japanese fortifications that were firing desperately down the mountain in front. The Eighth Route Army came up from behind!
The blasters, holding the blasting tubes captured from the Japs, rushed towards the Japanese bunker and stuffed the blasting tubes through the gun holes. With a loud bang, the Japs bunker fell silent.
When the Japanese squad leader saw the Eighth Route Army approaching from behind, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly organized a counterattack. But at this time, it was too late to counterattack. The Eighth Route Army that rushed forward started shooting after throwing away the grenades, suppressing the Japanese counterattack and covering the blasters.
Blast the remaining three bunkers.
The Japanese troops holding on to the top of the pass were limited. Due to terrain restrictions, there were not many troops from the Eighth Route Army. The fierce battle ended with the two sides engaging in a brutal hand-to-hand battle on the top of the pass. When the Japanese squad leader inserted the Eighth Route Army's bayonet into his chest, the red flag had already
Plugged in at the top of Niangziguan Mountain!
While the Second Battalion of the Fifth Regiment was engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese troops at Niangziguan Station, the Eighth Route Army engineers, under the cover of the main force, touched the railway bridge east of Niangziguan, harvested more than 1,000 kilograms of telephone wires, and installed wires on the railway bridge.
With several loud noises, the Niangziguan Railway Bridge was blown up.
Zhengtai Road is paralyzed!
The position at the top of Niangzi Pass was lost and the railway bridge was damaged. Lieutenant Ikeda was completely panicked and kept ordering the radio to report to the Zhengtai Road Garrison Headquarters and request emergency tactical guidance!
The Eighth Route Army captured Niangziguan and destroyed the Niangziguan Railway Bridge. After receiving the report, the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, panicked, and the commander of the North China Front Army in Peiping, Shun Tada, also panicked!
