The ninth and twenty-eighth chapter Pingyi set a strategy
Liu Yimin was already on high alert at this time, and had a rough estimate of the scale of the Japanese army's upcoming counterattack and retaliatory sweep with heavy troops. What he lacked was intelligence support.
Of course, Liu Yimin still couldn't tell where the Japanese heavily-armed group would direct its first attack, whether to open up Jinpu Road first or focus on sweeping a certain area first, or even withdraw the network completely and encircle it on all sides.
One thing is certain, that is, with the arrival of the Fifth Division in Qingdao and the arrival of the 114th Division in Lianyungang, the Japanese army restored control of Jiaoji Road and Longhai Road. If the Japanese army wanted to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army's teaching division in one fell swoop, there
Two ways,
One is to quickly open the Jinpu Road, divide our base area by relying on the railway line, and then divide the area with heavy troops to sweep away the enemy. The other is that with the unprecedentedly large Japanese military strength, the Japs may also attack from Pinghan Road in the west, to Dahai in the east, and to Long in the south.
sea route,
Draw a large encirclement in a vast area extending to the Bohai Sea in the north. Use a fierce offensive to quickly sweep through southern Hebei and western Shandong. Push the western edge of the encirclement to the Yellow River, so that you can completely encircle Shandong.
Liu Yimin's face alternated between light and dark under the lantern lights, and his voice sounded cheerful and powerful: "The Japanese army wants to eliminate us and remove the stumbling blocks. We also want to rely on the base area to eliminate a large number of Japanese active forces. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. That's just right! Besides,
If the Japs don’t come to attack Shandong, where can we seize the Japs’ heavy materials? I’d say, this is a good thing, and I can’t even wait for it!”
Cai Zhong said: "I just like to see your heroic spirit and defiance of all enemies.
Hurry up and tell us the specific counter-sweep measures."
Luo Ronghuan immediately stopped Cai Zhong: "Don't interrupt, listen carefully!"
Liu Yimin smiled and said: "I only have preliminary ideas, and we need to discuss it together."
Luo Ronghuan said anxiously: "Let's talk first, and then we can discuss it later."
Liu Yimin continued: "It's still the same old saying, strategically despise the enemy, tactically attach importance to the enemy. Although we can't figure out the strength of the Japanese army to use heavy troops to clear the enemy, nor can we figure out what tactics the Japanese army will adopt, we can be sure that it is correct.
The guiding ideology. As long as the guiding ideology is correct, the next thing will be easy to handle.”
Liu Yimin took out the cigarette case from his pocket, put it on the table, smoked one himself, threw one to Cai Zhong, struck a match, lit the cigarette, took a sip happily, and then said: "I'll consider it."
, this time we have to restrain ourselves and let the little devil achieve certain strategic goals and achieve a superficial victory. In this way, the little devil can feel confident and bold.
We will go south to attack Southeast Asia and start a war with the United States and Britain. Only by letting the little devils go to war with the United States and Britain, and transferring all the elite divisions to the Pacific battlefield to confront the US military, and consume them under the powerful artillery fire of the US military aircraft fleet and fleet, can our Anti-Japanese War win as soon as possible.
.The guiding ideology and operational deployment of the anti-Japanese army’s heavy deployment of troops to sweep away the enemy must be subject to this strategy.”
Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong remained silent, waiting to hear Liu Yimin's next words.
Liu Yimin threw away the cigarette butt and lit another one. He continued: "This time the anti-Japanese army launched a heavy raid on the enemy. The guiding principle is to combine internal operations with external operations. The internal operations include blocking, ambush, night, and harassment warfare to delay the Japanese attack.
Quickly, you can force the main force of the Japanese army to attack Jinpu Road with all its strength, compete with our army on Jinpu Road, and create opportunities for external operations. External operations use surprise troops to steal
We mainly attacked cities where the Japanese army had important supply bases. The enemy had to be rescued, forcing the Japanese army to return reinforcements, and pulled the Japanese army back to defend the communication lines. On the surface, the Japanese army occupied the communication lines, cities, and we
The Japanese army controlled most of Shandong. Once the Japanese army thought it had achieved its campaign objectives and sent troops south, our army would take advantage of the situation to eliminate the Japanese army in Shandong and completely liberate Shandong.
By then, the main force of the Japs will be trapped on the battlefield fighting the US military, and it will be impossible to send troops back for reinforcements."
Luo Ronghuan pondered for a while and said: "To obtain this guiding ideology, this is how we fight.
Tell me specific ideas!”
Liu Yimin turned Mo Qiang to Cai Zhong.
Cai Zhong said: "I agree. If the Japs attack Shandong with a large force, we will raid their hometowns. Beiping, Tianjin, Qingdao, and Xuzhou will all do. They all have a large number of weapons, ammunition and food reserves. We don't have to fight with the Japs."
You're welcome. If you take down one of these places, the Japanese will be hurt to the bone. Our army now has a huge force and powerful artillery fire. We can do sneak attacks or force attacks. You tell me your ideas!"
The three people agreed, and Liu Yimin laughed and said: "Heroes think alike! When writing war histories in the future, remember to write the section "Liu, Luo, and Cai Pingyi gathered together to make plans, Tada Jun shed tears in Beiping City"! Okay!
, let’s do this: teach one
Brigade, Cavalry Brigade, New 1st Brigade, Heavy Insertion Brigade, and Engineer Brigade immediately crossed the Yellow River and went to the Puyang area to hide and wait. The 2nd Teaching Brigade and the 6th Teaching Brigade quickly broke away from contact with the enemy in front of them and headed for southern Hebei, where tunnels were dug.
Early in the morning, it is easier to hide the troops.
In this way, we assembled the combat elites of five main brigades, namely, the 1st Teaching Brigade, the 2nd Teaching Brigade, the 6th Teaching Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, and the New 1st Brigade. When the heavy Japanese army group swept across our base area, they were inextricably killed by our internal troops.
when
At that time, we suddenly broke out, captured Shijiazhuang, destroyed the Pinghan Line, opened up the connection with Shanxi, and created the illusion that the main force of our army would return to defend Shaanxi, mobilizing the Japanese army and had to go back to fight for Shijiazhuang. After capturing Shijiazhuang,
Let the 129th Division and the Independent Division send troops to defend Shijiazhuang and fight with the Japanese army. The main force of our army secretly entered the Jizhong area and marched towards Tianjin under the cover of the Jizhong troops. When the Japanese army recaptured Shijiazhuang, our army reoccupied Tianjin and forced the enemy to
After returning to rescue Tianjin, our army took the opportunity to sweep through the Pingjin area again and completely smashed the Japanese political system in the Pingjin area. I don't believe that the Japanese army dared to abandon Peiping! At the same time, we will disperse in
The Third Jiao Brigade, the Seventh Jiao Brigade, and the Eighth Jiao Brigade in Qinghe, Jiao Lai, and Jiaodong were concentrated and hidden in the surrounding areas of Qingdao. When I redirected the heavy Japanese army group to the Pingjin area and Qingdao's defense was empty, we would reoccupy Qingdao.
The Japanese army's main supply base in Shandong was taken away, forcing the Japanese army to return to Qingdao along the railway line. This brought the entire war situation to life. If the fight was good, our army might still be able to retake Lianyungang or Xuzhou.
.In the end, I estimate that the Japanese army's heavy army group was exhausted and had to stay on the traffic line to catch its breath. The Japanese army's massive army group had to be wiped out. Our army then moved into
Rest the entire front, calm down the battlefield, and give the Japs the illusion of victory by opening up communication lines and regaining Shijiazhuang, Tianjin, and Qingdao, so that they can launch attacks in other directions."
When Cai Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "What is the concept of sweeping the Pingjin area? Can we take the opportunity to capture Shanhaiguan and enter the Northeast region?"
Liu Yimin shook his head: "Now is not the time to enter the Northeast. Winter is about to enter. When our army enters the Northeast in winter, it will be covered with ice and snow, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced immediately.
Moreover, the Japanese army has been ruling the Northeast for a long time. If our army enters the Northeast, once the main force of the Kwantung Army returns to support, our situation will be difficult. Don't worry, wait a minute, we will enter the Northeast sooner or later."
Luo Ronghuan frowned and said: "This idea is good, but have you considered it? This idea is based on the success of internal operations. If you take away the main force, can you do well in internal operations? I won't say.
Others, now northwest of Shandong
To the west of the Yellow River, five divisions including the main force of the 1st Guards Division, the 110th Division, the 40th Division, the 41st Division, and the 37th Division were concentrated along the line from De County to Luokou.
There are only two possible reasons why the Japanese have not moved recently:
One is to rest and replenish, and the other is to stabilize the defense line and wait for the accumulation of stronger forces. It is conceivable that once the Japanese army moves, they will inevitably capture the main force of our Luxi Group. The Second Teaching Brigade and the Sixth Teaching Brigade have been transferred, and Wang Bingsan’s Luxi Guards
The second brigade again
In the southwestern region of Shandong, how could the militia and militiamen of Xu Shiyou's Luxi Guard Brigade, Zeng Chunjian's New Second Brigade and the local armed forces of various counties stop the Japanese army? Luxi is a solid base for our army. The food in Luxi not only supports the Second Teaching Brigade
,Jiao Sixth Brigade, Lu
The Western Garrison Brigade, the Second Luxi Garrison Brigade and various local armed forces are also responsible for supporting Shanxi. Once Luxi becomes a guerrilla zone, the results of the two years of struggle will be in vain. This is not only the central government and
The headquarters will not agree. Mr. Lu Xi
I would not agree, because the Japanese army's revenge on Luxi must be extremely brutal, and we cannot afford it. There are many similar things, such as the central base areas in southeastern Shandong and Taiyi Mountains. The Japanese army must focus on clearing them this time.
thunder
Ming's Fourth Teaching Brigade was alone in defending the north. Wang Nanhu's Shandong Southeast Detachment was also unable to defend the south. Yu Xuezhong's troops were unreliable. Hong Chaoyuan's Fifth Teaching Brigade and the New Fifth Brigade were bound to defend southern Shandong. Once the Japanese army came from
Landing by sea or from Qingdao and
The eastern section of Longhai Road is attacking Southeast Shandong from the north and south. The existing troops may not be able to protect the central base area in Taiyi Mountain area and the Southeast Shandong base area. That is where our army's logistics base is located and must not be lost. This matter needs to be reconsidered!"
Liu Yimin laughed again: "What does it mean to lose? What does it mean not to lose? This question must be viewed dialectically. All the people in Shandong are loyal to our army. The Japanese army only occupied traffic arteries and some towns. Can this be called losing?
?Besides, if the Japanese army comes with its current strength
What should we fear if we attack, as long as we hit hard all the way, the Japanese offensive will collapse. But if the Japanese army mobilizes the main force of the Kwantung Army to go south to join the war, can we resist if we can't resist? Rather than being unable to resist, it is better to attack the enemy.
Must save, force the enemy to come back for reinforcements, tired of life. And
, my operational idea is to let the Japanese army occupy more territory, divide the troops, divide the troops, divide the troops again, and lengthen the defense line. Only in this way can we have a chance. The militiamen and local armed forces in the base area are eagerly waiting for the little Japs to come, so that they can take advantage of them.
Seize weapons and ammunition. Political commissar, don’t
I am afraid that the Japanese army will enter western and southeastern Shandong. In my opinion, it would be better for the Japanese army to resume their occupation of Shandong. Every small stronghold is a target for our army. It is easy and labor-saving to fight. When the main force of our army returns to sweep across the division, you
Look, the Japanese and puppet troops must be faster than rabbits!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Yimin lit another cigarette, smoked it, and then said: "Of course, the political commissar is right. If we want to achieve great results in this battle, we must fight on the inside. The strength of our army left on the inside
Quite a few, including a lot of main force. There are also artillery brigades and air defense brigades to provide fire support. What is missing is a strong command core. I think
Now, this time we have divided the work. Director Cai and I are responsible for commanding the external operations: the political commissar and Chief of Staff Zeng form the internal operations headquarters to uniformly command our army's internal operations. The troops responsible for internal operations are divided into several groups, Li Qing, Chen
Dayong and Zhao Shan commanded the Third Teaching Brigade, the Seventh Teaching Brigade, and the Eighth Teaching Brigade to form the Ludong Group, responsible for the capture of Qingdao.
Mission: Yuan Guoping and Xiao Jinguang command the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, Jinan Garrison Brigade, and Jiaodong Garrison Brigade to form the Luzhong Group, responsible for the garrison tasks in the area north of Jiaoji Road: the remaining artillery brigade, air defense brigade, 4th Teaching Brigade, and Luzhong Garrison Brigade
, Tai'an Detachment, Shandong Southeast Detachment, 5th Teaching Brigade, New 4th Brigade, New 5th Brigade, New 8th Brigade, Taixi Security Brigade, Shandong West
The Southern Guard Brigade, the Second Luxi Guard Brigade, the logistics detachment and the local armed forces in the base area form a group, directly commanded by the political commissar and chief of staff, in the vast area east of the Yellow River, north of Longhai Road, south of Jiaoji Road, and west of the Yellow Sea.
The enemy is engaged in mobile warfare. Political Commissar, we have 14 regular brigades plus local armed forces. Such a strong force is still too small.
The Japanese are not successful? The internal battle is not to defend to the death, which plays into the Japanese army's ambitions. It is to concentrate the main force and form a fist, which can attack the Japanese army at any time. Killing one of its divisions is like drinking cold water. It would be terrible if the troops are divided and guarded everywhere.
, the Japanese planes alone disabled us."
Luo Ronghuan thought for a while and said: "Okay. Immediately notify Chief of Staff Zeng Zhongsheng to come to Pingyi and we will finalize the specific combat plan. In addition, let the New Fourth Brigade follow your actions to strengthen the external combat forces."
Liu Yimin shook his head: "No need. Once our army captures Shijiazhuang, it will be connected with the Taihang Mountains. If it sweeps the Pingjin area, it will be connected with the Shanxi-Chayi area. The main force of our army in Shanxi can cooperate with us at any time, not to mention the southern Hebei province.
, where are the troops in central Hebei? Currently, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army
Strength is not a problem, the key is how to use it. Let me tell you two things: external operations are fought skillfully, they are to use surprise attacks and special warfare methods to conquer the Japanese logistics base, and they are to settle economic accounts with the Japanese army. Once our army
This attack was successful, and it took two or three months for the little devil to recover.
On the contrary, the internal battle mission was to rely on the base area to consume the Japanese troops, and the task was heavier. Originally, I wanted to personally command the internal group operations. However, considering the special nature of this external battle, Chief of Staff Zeng was not as skilled as me in the application of special warfare tactics.
That's why we made such an arrangement. Political Commissar, the two of us are separated. The purpose is to ensure that there is a leadership core for both the internal and external lines. At critical times, the final decision can be made without asking for instructions, so as not to delay the fighter's opportunity and cause heavy losses."
Luo Ronghuan nodded: "I will submit this idea to the Central Committee and the headquarters."
