In the weather in March, the wind and snow come and go quickly. The sun shines down for several days in a row, the temperature rises rapidly, the snow in the mountains and rivers melts, and the branches and leaves of green grass and forest trees swish outward. Spring suddenly arrives in Jin.
Northern land.
On March 7, after discussing with his staff, Yan Xishan decided to shorten the front line and concentrate his forces on Xinkou north of Xinxian County and the mountainous areas on its east and west sides to organize defenses. In view of the concentration of troops withdrawn from Pingxing Pass, Ruyue Pass and Yanmen Pass
The army needs
It takes time, and the Japanese army is very likely to take advantage of the victory to launch an attack, so Yan Xishan strictly ordered Wang Jingguo's command post to stick to Nao County, and Chen Changjie was stationed in Yuanping as a reserve force. Wei Lihuang's department, who was responsible for the defense of Ningwuguan, was ready to support the operation.
At the same time, Yan Xishan asked the 18th Group Army to immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army's rear in order to delay the Japanese army's attack and cover the main force in the theater to deploy defenses in the Xinkou area. The next day, Yan Xishan also invited Vice Chairman Zhou of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China to study the defense
Problems in Taiyuan.
On March 8, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng of the 18th Group Army ordered the 115th Division to cooperate with friendly forces to attack the enemy in Pingxingguan and Daying Town, attack Hunyuan and Yingxian, and cut off Ruyuekou and Fanzhi.
and ordered the 120th Division to dispatch its main force to the mountains west of Daiyue Town (today's Shanyin) to cut off communication between Datong and Yanmenguan, and use the main force of the 358th Brigade to cooperate with friendly forces to attack the enemy south of Ningwu.
.
On the night of March 9, the independent regiment of the 115th Division captured Laiyuan County. The 358th Brigade of the 120th Division attacked Ningwu County. On March 10th, the Yanbei Detachment of the Division captured Jingping, north of Shuo County.
Town (today's Pinglu County)
, and two days later, they recaptured Pinglu County (today's Pinglu Town). After that, they launched a raid on the section from Tongpu Lushuo County to Datong. On the 13th, the 120th Division ambushed the Japanese transport team in Xinzhuang.
Then they approached Datong.
During this period, the Japanese army was not idle. After the center and right-wing armies merged, their strength surged to 400,000. They were extremely arrogant. In addition to leaving puppet troops and some Japanese troops to garrison towns along the way, the Japanese army still had more than 300,000 troops available.
Maneuver.
Hideki Tojo worked non-stop and led his troops southward at night to attack Guoxian County.
Wang Jingguo's command was called a group army. In fact, it only had four brigades: Du Fang, Tian Shumei, Duan Shuhua, and Jiang Yuzhen, and two artillery regiments. But with such a small force, Wang Jingguo managed to hold off the Japanese army in Guo County for a week.
At the beginning, Wang Jingguo used Daguo Village and the Xiaohe line, ten miles north of Nao County, as the first-line position, and assigned the Duan, Tian, and Jiang brigades, and the county town of Nao County as the second-line position, and assigned the Du Brigade and the field artillery regiment and the mountain artillery regiment as the entire army.
support.
Before the battle started, Jiang Yuzhen, who was stationed on the front line, suddenly received an order from Yan Xishan to lead his troops to Yuanping to assist Chen Changjie's defense. Jiang Yuzhen made an emergency retreat south. The entire front line of defense was suddenly riddled with holes and loopholes everywhere.
Wang Jingguo had no choice but to order a retreat. He deployed all his troops to the two wings of Nao County and quickly built defense lines to launch defenses.
On March 8, the battle started, and the fighting was fierce on all fronts. The battle lasted until 5 p.m. the next day. The headquarters of Wang Jingguo's Xiamian Brigade Liu Regiment near Beiguan was bombed. The commander Liu Liang and the deputy commander were both killed.
Killed in action. At midnight, the Beiguan position was almost completely destroyed, and the remaining Tian brigade retreated to the north wall.
The battle from the 10th to the 12th was extremely fierce. After repeated competition in many areas, the blood flowed into the river. On the 13th, the leader of the Tian tourist group Shi Chengwen was killed in the North City. When the dusk was near the dusk, one of the Japanese army made a foothold on the wall of the North City Wall.
Point. After Wang Jingguo issued a call for help to Chen Changjie and Wei Lihuang, the organization troops countered a counterattack. First of all, the attack of Tian Shumei Brigade, and then the offense of the Du Yilu Luyi team, did not work. At this time
There are no extra soldiers available.
When he pulled up Wang Jingguo, he left. When the south gate was opened, Wang Jingguo got rid of the crowd and sat down and said, "It was so defeated, I went back to death, and I simply died in the city.
martyr!"
After the chief of staff, Liang Peizheng persuaded, went on the road again, and walked about a mile of miles. Wang Jingguo said again: "I won't go, you can kill me with a gun. If you can't bear it, use the quilt to cover me, and then shoot.
. ""
At this time, the chief of staff Liang Peizheng has reported the reality to Yan Xishan and the General Senate Zhao Daiwen. The statement that the troops have been in the end. If they are not evacuated, they can only stand up.
Burning the desire to survive, with the troops, crossed the Luohe River, entered the mountains, and avoided the pursuit of the Japanese army. Since then, the county has fallen.
Just as the attack on Yixian County was attacked, the front line of Ningwu Guan was also undergoing the Japanese army's attack on the night. Xue Yue did not dare to regulate the army to assist Wang Jingguo. With the loss of Lixian County, the Ningwu Guan wing was already under the threat of the Japanese army.
Xue Yue had to lead the port to the south of the south to strengthen the front -line defense of Xinkou.
The Japanese army's third -road army was converged from Daniel Shop to Nanyang Village from the south of Yangwu, Henan, and Tonjo -British machine was high -spirited and believed that Shanxi operations had achieved a decisive victory. After that, operations in the plains and valleys will be conducive to the development of the Japanese army's formation and docking.
The victory will be bound to win.
Although the base camp and the cabinet were greeting, the domestic media in Japan did not report this so -called "big prince", but among the Japanese, northeast and China North China, it was promoted by the people in the northeast and China.
It was also passed on to Japan, and Tonjoji has increased its reputation.
On March 16th, the Japanese attacked Yuanping.
The 40th Army of Chen Changjie is responsible for being stationed here, and the three divisions and four brigades are under the jurisdiction. Among them, Jiang Yuzhen, the Ministry of Jingguo. Many people may ask, since Chen Changjie has far exceeding the configuration of the Wang Jingguo Ministry, why is it still?
What about the power of troops from Li County? It turns out that Yan Xishan believes that the land terrain of Li County is too open and insufficient. Therefore, it deliberately strengthened the defense of Hara Ping.
Great killing.
Dongjo British machine adopted a strategy of zero crushed fight. Each troops sent out of the offense should not exceed one coalition, and step by step to eat the defense position of the 40th Army.
The fourth group of army infantry of the Gongwei Artillery position fiercely fought fiercely.
... ...
Yuelang star is thin.
Ruzhuang in the northwest of Xinkou, Lu Yixuan observed the battle of the original Ping County of the northeast from the telescope. I saw that the smoke columns rose in the inside and outside of the county, and the red fire shone from time to time.
Can't help but shake his head slightly.
A week ago, when Yan Xishan ordered Lu Yixuan's troops to go north to relieve the siege of Guoxian County, An Yi personally called Yan Xishan and explained the opinions of the Nanhua General Staff. He believed that instead of setting up defenses everywhere, he would use refueling tactics to fight the Japanese army.
, it is better to lure the Japanese army step by step to the open area north of Xinkou, suddenly use force, and annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop.
Yan Xishan really couldn't imagine that he could defeat such a large Japanese army in one go just by relying on the strength of the second theater. However, An Yi said that the Japanese army was exhausted physically and mentally after fighting fiercely for days. It was entirely due to their strong will.
Support. By the time the Japanese soldiers entered Xinkou, their physical fitness had reached its limit, and it was expected that they would be unable to exert even half of their usual combat effectiveness.
During this period, the Anjia Army Air Force will send three more brigades into Shanxi to establish absolute air superiority. When the Japanese army reorganizes its forces and begins to attack Xinkou, the Air Force suddenly attacks and launches a fierce bombardment of the Japanese artillery and armored forces.
After the bombing and comprehensive suppression of the Japanese army, Lu Yixuan's troops rushed out from behind, penetrated the Japanese army's front line in one fell swoop, divided and surrounded the Japanese army, and tried to annihilate part of the Japanese army at Xinkou, and then took advantage of the opportunity to go north, sweeping away the fallen leaves with the autumn wind,
The Japanese army was completely driven out of Shanxi.
Yan Xishan was dubious, but thinking that the Anjia Army had always maintained a very high winning rate against Japan, and that the Anjia Army Air Force's full participation in the war would also greatly ease the pressure on the Jinsui Army, he quietly revised the Xinkou battle plan. In view of this
Japanese troops in Shanxi
With his impenetrable intelligence spying capabilities, Yan Xishan did not tell anyone about his plan. He just announced in a high-profile manner that he would defend Xinkou, defend the enemy in the Jinzhong Plain, and ensure the absolute safety of Taiyuan. Then he would mobilize his troops and generals to attack Xinkou.
Layers of positions were built on the south bank of the Beiyunzhong River tributary.
Five days ago, Lu Yixuan's troops were suddenly mobilized to Rucun, twelve kilometers west of Xinkou.
Rucun, Nangang Village to the north, and Yadi Village to the south all stand on the Jinzhong Plain. Although the mountain is not high, only three to four hundred meters, it is extremely beneficial for defense. To the west of Rucun is a large area
The plains and valleys, with a radius of more than ten kilometers, are connected to the outside world through narrow gaps, making it easy to station troops.
The Japanese army attacking Xinkou would have never imagined that there was a new force armed to the teeth hidden among the mountains and ravines in the western part of the plain. To ensure the safety of the flanks, Tojo Hideki would probably have detached a part of it to attack Rucun, but that was not the case.
It is only used for containment, and its breakthrough point can only be Xinkou.
From a strategic point of view, once Xinkou is breached, Xinxian and Taiyuan will be unhindered, and the Japanese army can march straight in. The Chinese troops on both sides of Xinkou will have no choice but to retreat. Whoever runs slower will be defeated by the Japanese army.
Encircled and eliminated.
"Tomorrow Chen Changjie's troops will abandon Yuanping under Yan Xishan's order, and the Battle of Xinkou will begin soon. Laoqu, tell me, will the Japanese be fooled?"
Lu Yixuan put down the telescope, turned his head and asked softly.
Qu Muchen, who accompanied Lu Yixuan to check on the enemy's situation, said with certainty: "We have already reached this point, and Tojo Hideki has no choice but to attack. According to the plan, we will attack Xinkou three days after the launch of the battle.
Suddenly burst out from the flank, defeat the enemy in front of them, penetrate directly into the enemy's command center, disrupt the Japanese command system, and then cooperate with friendly forces to divide and destroy the enemy.
"If we can achieve this step, the next step will be an easy pursuit and annihilation battle. Under the guidance of our superior air force, we will drive the Japanese army out of northern Shanxi step by step and regain the Inner Great Wall Pass and the Hengshan Defense Line. This battle will be
It’s time for a perfect ending!”
In fact, all these Lu Yixuan knew that the reason why he asked was that he wanted to borrow Qu Mochen's mouth and wide his own heart.
"Report, the headquarters is urgent!"
Colonel Huareming, Director of the Correspondence, came to the two and whispered.
Lu Yixuan and Qu Mochen turned around. Lu Yixuan asked the guard to take over the electrical text and waved his hand: "Say, what's the matter?"
Huarui Mingdao: "The senior management of the Far East Military Politics made a decision and started to sweep the Soviets and the Soviets in Central Asia tomorrow. Our Mongolian Military Region was assembled in the border area of the Kazakhstan border in Mongolia at the beginning of the month.
The headquarters requires us to carry forward the spirit of exemplary camps of hard work, not afraid of sacrifice, irritability and irritability. In the absence of foreign aid, the Japanese army is driven out of Jinbei. "
Under the moonlight, there was a hint of haze in Lu Yixuan's eyes, and it was fleeting. Ask Mingming that there was nothing else. After Hua Ruiming retreated, Lu Yixuan said to Qu Mochen:
"That's how inexplicable and the huge industrial country like the Soviet Union has been paired. Is the headquarters decision too hasty? Now we respond to Mongolia, South China and domestic affairs have lack of skills, and they have to enter Central Asia. I always feel that this is more like this.
It is a kind of mad gambling! If it is defeated, the situation in Mongolia may also deteriorate rapidly. At that time, the Japanese will enter the same way, and North China will suffer because of this irrational action! "
Qu Mochen comforted: "Lao Lu, you should believe the commander's judgment. For so many years, when did you see him missed? I think the headquarters should have a lot of countermeasures ... We just need to take the front of you in front of you
Do it well, just chaos to the headquarters ... "
"It is because I have never missed that they should be more cautious ..."
Lu Yixuan sighed, and suddenly became very happy: "Well, forget it, don't say this, the old song, I will go back first. This battle must be played well, otherwise
The collapse will be irreversible, I don’t want to be a scapegoat! "
Looking at the back of Lu Yixuan's far away, Qu Mochen was a little strange. How could he suddenly start questioning Anyi's decision to respect An Yi?
Perhaps the war is right, the spirit is too depressed and nervous. I believe that as long as you win in the next war, the confident Lu Yixuan will return.
