Chapter 199: The Elegy of the Chahar Dispatch Corps (1)
Chapter 199: Elegy from Chahar's dispatched corps (I)
After sending the telegram for victory, Qian Zhuangfei sent General Shouyi of the Temple to the orders of the Japanese troops in Shanxi. When Liu Yimin saw it, he knew that the old Japanese in the temple was scared and wanted to shrink his troops and form a fist, and then make plans.
The current problem is mainly concentrated in one thing, that is, the question of whether Taiyuan is to be defended or abandoned. The most important thing about defending Taiyuan is to inspire the fighting spirit of the people across the country. The bad thing is that it is possible to let Japanese planes blow Taiyuan into ruins
.Before the United States started the war against Japan, it was impossible for us to obtain air supremacy against Japan. The reason is very simple. We did not have so many planes and pilots to strangle the Japanese army in the air. Just relying on the 36 aircraft and special operations seized by Taiyuan Airport.
It is obviously impossible to destroy the enemy's airport and erase the Japanese army's air superiority. Liu Yimin has not been so arrogant yet.
The most urgent task is to mobilize all Chinese troops in Shanxi to eliminate all the 20th Division led by Seishirō Itagaki in Shanxi. These are all elites among the elite Japanese soldiers who do many evil deeds and kill one less. No matter what, no matter what, they
They cannot be allowed to leave Shanxi alive.
The problem now is that in order to eliminate the main force of Itagaki, it is necessary to solve the problem of the Independent Mixed Second Division and the Di Detachment, and they cannot threaten Taiyuan behind their backs. At the same time, it is also necessary to solve the Independent Mixed 15th Brigade attacking Niangzi Pass, otherwise,
Zhang Hongtao's 6th Education Brigade was attacked by the 15th Independence Brigade and the Japanese army in the Shijiazhuang direction, and the entire brigade was killed. If they were asked to evacuate from Niangzi Pass now, the Japanese army in the Shijiazhuang direction and the 15th Independence Brigade could immediately merge.
Soon another heavy army group came. After receiving the Itagaki army, the two Japanese heavy army groups joined forces and probably had to run away.
Itagaki Seishiro's 20th Division and 109th Division were not impossible to rely solely on the strength of the instructor, but it was caused by the direction of the Niangziguan and the Independent Second Brigade, especially the direction of the Niangziguan, the Japanese army
Once Zhang Hongtao's defense line of the 6th Brigade is broken, he will likely be in opposition to the Itagaki Group and attack the instructor. The best choice now is to let Wei Lihuang's army, Yan Xishan army and the 129th division, and the Independent Division besiege the Itagaki Group and concentrate their own efforts to clean up.
The Second Independent Brigade, the Dike Detachment, then turned around and killed the Independent Mixed Brigade, guarded Niangzi Pass, kept Itagaki Seishiro, and then concentrated his efforts to eliminate him.
Of course, there is another plan to keep some troops to monitor the Independent Mixed Second Brigade and Di Detachment, so that Zhang Hongtao's 6th Brigade can restrain and block the Independent Mixed 15th Brigade, and lead the main force to face Itagaki's main force. In that case, I'm afraid
After this battle, even if it is to wipe out the main force of Itagaki, his teacher will probably end up with a total of one or more. This ending is something that Liu Yimin doesn't want to see at all. In his heart, he would rather let Itagaki Seishiroichi
Ma, look for opportunities to clean up slowly, and is unwilling to ruin his main force in one battle.
In order to fully understand the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, Liu Yimin ordered Chen Dayong to report the battle situation with the Di Detachment and the Independent Mixed Second Brigade.
The situation reported by Chen Dayong surprised Liu Yimin. The troops led by the 7th Brigade of the Education and the Dike were not intertwined yesterday afternoon, but did not gain much advantage. The two sides actually fought equally, with casualties between each other.
The troops have an absolute advantage and can be said to be well-trained. Although the equipment is different from the three main brigades and there is no cooperation between the divisional artillery, looking at various domestic troops, it can also be called first-class equipment. However, in the field
Under conditions, the Di Detachment led by Di Bu Gu, Daquan Detachment and the First Independent Mixed Brigade, and the Fifth Division Engineer Regiment, were basically 1 to 1, which shows that the Japanese army was indeed well-trained.
Extremely brave.
Chen Dayong reported that Japanese soldiers can run and shoot while charging, with high shooting accuracy, and with tanks and armored vehicles covering, if there is no bazooka threat to the Japanese army, the Japanese army can implement the tactic of two wings to detour and break through in the middle at any time.
Moreover, the Japanese army was extremely brave and dared to fight against superior forces.
After reading Chen Dayong's telegram, several people in the command center were speechless. The firepower of the teacher now can be said to have concentrated all the heavy firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and light weapons are also the best in the entire army. When fighting, they rely on the strong to bully the weak and attack.
If the enemy is not prepared, if there is no firepower from the artillery brigade, it is really hard to say who wins and loses when meeting the elite Japanese army. If Chen Dayong can say this, he can imagine the difficulty of fighting the Japanese army.
Liu Yimin's heart was surging, and he kept paced in the command center, thinking about the best solution. The situation is obvious now. Although Taiyuan successfully attacked and the Japanese army was weakened, compared with the 280,000 elite troops of the North China Front Army,
The eliminated Japanese army is only one-twentieth. From the perspective of the national anti-Japanese resistance, this little Japanese can kill one, and it is absolutely impossible to let the Itagaki group join the Japanese army in Shijiazhuang safely. In that case,
A dead tiger will also become a living tiger.
Decided to make up, Liu Yimin stood up immediately, his eyes were bright and he shouted loudly: "Zhu Zhexiao, record the order."
Zhu Zhexiao, deputy director of the General Staff Department, responded, and Liu Yimin said in a deep voice: "Order; 1, the Second Brigade, the Fourth Brigade, the Seventh Brigade, the First Battalion of Heavy Machine Guns, the Second Battalion, the First Field Artillery Regiment of the Artillery Brigade, medium-sized
The Mortar Regiment and the First Battalion of the Engineer Regiment formed the Tongpubei Road Operations Group, with the commander of the Second Brigade Liu Jian as the commander of the front enemy, and coordinated the command and command to eliminate the Japanese independent mixed brigade and the dike without blocking your troops. Specific operations
The plan was jointly formulated by Zhu Zhexiao, deputy director of the Division's General Staff Department, and Liu Jian, and submitted it to me for approval. Second, the First Brigade, Third Brigade, Fifth Brigade, Sixth Brigade, Eighth Brigade, and Second Field Artillery Regiment,
The Shanyao Regiment, the Third Battalion of the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment, and the Second Battalion of the Engineer Regiment formed the Zhengtai Line Operation Group. The mission is to eliminate the Japanese independent mixed 15th Brigade and repel the Japanese attack on Niangzi Pass in the Shijiazhuang direction. Zeng Zhongsheng, the chief of staff of the division, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy.
The specific combat plan was jointly formulated by Zeng Zhongsheng and Zhang Linfeng, deputy director of the General Staff Department, and reported to us for approval. Third, the division guard regiment and the third battalion of engineers guard Taiyuan. Fourth, the cavalry brigade ordered the cavalry brigade to give up pursuing and harassing the enemy, and led the baggage regiment with Wu Zhengsou
The new recruits formed a strategic reserve team in the division and advanced to the front line of Jinzhong to rest and standby. Five, Feng Dafei was appointed as the captain of the air team instructor. After the war, the air team was under unified command of the Military Commission. Feng Dafei was ordered to lead six retired US military instructors,
Form the first bombing squadron of the Aviation Corps of the 18th Army, take off immediately, and bomb the Japanese Shijiazhuang Airport and Yangmingbao Airport. After completing the mission, each US pilot will be awarded 1,000 US dollars."
After Zhu Zhexiao retelled, Liu Yimin signed and said: "Tell Feng Dafei that after the bombing squadron completes the mission, each retired US flight instructor will reward two Japanese beauties, and it must be communicated to each team member."
After signing the letter, Luo Ronghuan smiled and said, "Teacher, should you report to the Central Committee and ask Comrade Tang Xingying to return to the instructor's work?"
When Liu Yimin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I didn't expect that Political Commissar Luo would miss his wife too!"
Luo Ronghuan smiled and said, "It's not that I miss my wife, but that the order you asked Director Zhu to convey to Feng Dafei is not allowed to be on the surface!"
Liu Yimin was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "A real man is not careful. This Japanese woman allows the heroes of the US Air Force to enjoy it. It is also their blessing. As long as it can delay the time of the large-scale bombing of the Japanese Air Force, these things will not be investigated.
There is nothing."
Luo Ronghuan looked at Liu Yimin, shook his head, and said no more.
After the order was issued, the Staff Office was divided into two parts. Zhu Zhexiao took several staff officers to the Second Brigade to take action with Liu Jianshe, and Zhang Linfeng took several staff officers to take action with Zeng Zhongsheng. The division headquarters immediately calmed down.
Liu Yimin sat down and drafted the battle plan for the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to occupy Taiyuan to eliminate the Japanese Itagaki group, and then drafted a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang.
Liu Yimin wrote in the telegram: "Chairman Jiang, Chief Yan, Chief Wei: Since the Japanese invasion of Shanxi, they have seized my famous city and killed my people. They have a lot of blood debts and are extremely guilty. The people are not talented and lead their troops to eliminate the Fifth Division.
The elite 21st Brigade, which eliminated the First Independent Mixed Brigade and recovered Taiyuan. The Japanese army is afraid of being annihilated, so it ordered the Second Independent Mixed Brigade and Di to shrink to Xinkou and wait for assistance; it also made the Second Independent Mixed Brigade.
The 15th Brigade and the troops of the first army, Kazuki Kyosi, attacked Niangzi Pass in an attempt to open the Masahira Line and responded to the 20th Division led by Itagaki Seishiro, one of the Japanese invasion of China. The 109th Division was from Qin County.
, Wuxiang, Heshun, Xiyang returned to Yangquan and went to Niangziguan to escape the fate of overthrow. Due to the limitation of military strength, our army could only annihilate the Japanese independent mixed 2nd Brigade, the 15th Brigade, and the Russian enemy Itagaki Group urgently needed the country
All units of the army will chase and intercept them, so that they will not reach the battlefield of Niangziguan. After our army eliminates the Independent Mixed Brigade, Di Detachment, and Independent 15th Brigade, and repels the enemy reinforcements in Shijiazhuang, we will quickly join the battlefield of the Itagaki Group,
Completely eliminate it and reverse the unfavorable situation of the War of Resistance in North China. If the troops of the National Army cannot act quickly and allow the Itagaki group to retreat north, then the troops that attacked Niangzi Pass can only retreat first, otherwise our army will be at risk of the destruction of the entire army.
At present, the soldiers of our army united against the enemy and vowed to fight the Japanese invaders to the end. We asked Chairman Jiang, Commander Yan, and Commander Wei to order all our troops in Shanxi to take action, pursue, block, and harass the Japanese Itagaki group along the way, and surround them.
Then, divide it and annihilate it. It will win time for me to annihilate the Second Independent Brigade, the 15th Brigade and even finally annihilate Itagaki Group. The opportunity is fleeting, and all our Chinese army and the Chinese people should fight back.
To completely eliminate the Japanese army, I hope that Chairman, Commander Yan, and Commander Wei will immediately deploy.”
After sending the power, Liu Yimin reviewed the combat plan drawn up by Zeng Zhongsheng and Zhang Linfeng, and proposed that the First Brigade, Third Brigade, Fifth Brigade and heavy firepower troops should be ordered to be dispatched quickly, use trains and automobiles to transport, capture Yangquan, pacify, and copy
The 15th Independent Mixed Brigade was the retreat of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade; ordered Zhang Hongtao to strengthen his position and make plans for a long-term constraining; ordered Zhao Shan to lead the Eighth Brigade of the Education immediately to move closer to the Sixth Brigade and be ready for reinforcements at any time. After saying that, Liu Yimin told Zeng Zhongsheng, I can
It is guaranteed that the Japanese planes cannot reach the battlefield of Niangziguan within one day, and in two days, the Japanese planes will definitely arrive at the battlefield for support. Therefore, the 15th Brigade of Independence will be eliminated and the 15th Brigade will be quick to fight and decide quickly, so as to ensure that our army has the initiative.
Liu Jian and Zhu Zhexiao's plan was relatively simple, which was to let Chen Dayong lead the 7th Brigade to stick to the dike and not to block the detachment, so that the Independent Second Brigade had to rescue and win time for the main force to arrive at the battlefield.
After Liu Yimin's approval, the two combat groups launched a large-scale operation, and the death knell of the destruction of the entire army of Chahar's dispatched corps was ringing.
Mao Zedong's call came soon. First, congratulations to the hero's instructor for regaining Taiyuan. Then he pointed out that if the Central Army and the Jinsui Army were fully deployed to surround Itagaki and prevent him from reinforcement of the Niangziguan battlefield, then my instructor could be at
After solving the problem of independence, the second place was formed. After the 15th Brigade, it would repel enemy reinforcements from Shijiazhuang and turn around and throw themselves into the battlefield of the annihilation of the Itagaki Group. If the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army did not send out or a few troops could not encircle the Itagaki Group, then I would guard it.
The Niangziguan troops should retreat as soon as possible and must not be trapped in the attacks of the Japanese heavy army group.
At the end of the telegram, Mao Zedong also said that eliminating the main force of the Fifth Division and the Chahar Expeditionary Force has added the greatest glory to the national war of resistance. Never be proud and careless, show off his courage for a while, despise the Japanese combat effectiveness, and put the main force in a dangerous situation.
.The War of Resistance Against Japan is destined to be a protracted war. It is good to rely on one or two battles to reverse the situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan, but it is prone to danger. As a senior commander, you should be careful and avoid it.
After congratulating the recovery of Taiyuan, General Zhu and General Peng's telegram pointed out that the 129th Division had been ordered to concentrate the main force of the Independent Division and fight step by step on the way back north of Itagaki; ordered the main force of the 115th Division to assemble and prepare for blocking, and the ambush may be rushed from the north to the battlefield.
The Japanese army had also reported to the Second War Zone and asked them to order various troops to participate in the war.
Commander-in-Chief Zhu pointed out in a telegram that after the Battle of Taiyuan, the spirit of the Shanxi-Sui Army had passed away, and the Central Army's Lihuang Department suffered a lot of losses. Now the troops are mobilizing to replenish them, and it is difficult to complete the task of encircling and blocking the Japanese army. It is recommended that Liu Yimin consider
The combat plan should not consider the issue of the Central Army and the Jinsui Army participating in the war. The troops after the defeat can only rely on strong positions to defend themselves, and it is too difficult for them to take the initiative to attack.
Chiang Kai-shek's telegram also arrived. In addition to congratulating our army on regaining the famous city, he issued another order to commend the commendation, and said that all troops in the Second World War Zone in Shanxi had been ordered to mobilize all the troops in Shanxi, quickly pursue and encircle the Itagaki Group, and be sure to annihilate it in Shanxi.
At the end of the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek said that in order to commend General Liu Yimin's achievements in fighting against Japan and killing the enemy, he entrusted his wife to take a plane to Taiyuan to comfort the soldiers tomorrow, please make a reply.
