Chapter 1248: Deployment of Troops——The Heaven and Earth Shattered

The situation continues to evolve.

Under the arrangements of Commander Fu, the Mengdong defense line is still being carried out with great fanfare. Even from an expert's perspective, there is almost nothing critical about the entire defense line. It is basically built in the direction of permanent fortifications.

At first, the Japanese army was very wary, fearing that the 35th Route Army would take advantage of the pretext of building a defensive line to launch a sneak attack.

As a result, as the timeline continued to extend, the Eighth Route Army troops invested more energy and larger formations in building fortifications on the Eastern Mongolia defense line.

The troops stationed in Mongolia in Guandong and Eastern Mongolia gradually relaxed.

As long as the Eighth Route Army is building a defensive line and not launching an attack, they have nothing to worry about.

In order to destroy the Eighth Route Army's plan, the Japanese army launched several tentative attacks when the 35th Route Army was building the eastern Mongolian defense line.

But they were all easily repelled by the 35th Route Army.

After the initial part of the Eastern Mongolian Defense Line was completed, with the help of these solid defenses, the Japanese army completely cut off the possibility of breaking through the Eastern Mongolian Defense Line and driving the 35th Route Army back to western Inner Mongolia.

Under the influence of this line of defense, no matter what the future holds, at least for now, the recovery area established by the 35th Route Army in eastern Mongolia has gradually stabilized.

Whether it's the Mongolian army stationed in eastern Mongolia or the Kwantung Army eyeing it from the north.

It is impossible to easily cross this large defense line that is easy to defend but difficult to attack and launch an attack on the area recovered by the 35th Route Army.

At the same time, this line of defense also completely isolated the Kwantung Army's route from eastern Mongolia.

Then, according to the plan of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The boss and deputy chief of staff adopted Kong Jie's original proposal. After the recovery area in eastern Mongolia gradually stabilized, they used the defense of the eastern Mongolian defense line to continuously assemble troops from various base areas and various arms in eastern Mongolia to carry out operations in advance. Large-scale troop training.

Lay the foundation in advance for the subsequent reorganization of troops in various base areas.

When this matter was mentioned at a military meeting at the Eighth Route Army’s former enemy headquarters, the deputy chief of staff spoke on behalf of the Eighth Route Army’s former enemy headquarters and said:

"After the training of various units in the eastern Mongolian region, and in accordance with the decision of the general headquarters, we are preparing to reorganize the 35th Route Army active in the eastern Mongolian region and create four integrated division-level combat units.

They are the 31th Cavalry Armored Division, and the reorganized 32st, 101nd, and st Divisions.

In addition, it includes two reorganized divisions within the old 120th and 129th divisions.

As well as the three mobile detachments of the Iron Triangle Group Army.

Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Yang Detachment, Yanbei Detachment, Beijin Detachment, Daqingshan Detachment, Qinwei Detachment, Laopi Detachment; Hebei Reliao Detachment, Lu Dafa Detachment in Central Hebei, Jinan Detachment, and the first batch of Jiaodong Detachment reinforced by Shandong Military Region . "

Various reorganized divisions and various reorganized field detachments came down.

After calculating the strength of the troops, the generals all secretly marveled.

This is a fairly large-scale armed force.

Li Yunlong was so happy that he lost his eyes. He leaned into Kong Jie's ear and said: "Good fellow, Old Kong, after the running-in training in eastern Mongolia is completed and this series of reorganized troops are arranged, our military strength will be at least It must be one or two hundred thousand, right?"

Kong Jie said: "Old Li, I'm afraid you are still thinking too much!"

Li Yunlong immediately counted again with his fingers, and then said with a face full of surprise: "Damn it, we are indeed missing. I just calculated carefully, how many can you guess in general? Just these four groups have been compiled. division, plus our various field detachments, the strength must be at least 300,000.

I only count the elites here. If we add reinforcements from all walks of life, the strength will probably be nearly 50.

It's lively, it's really lively, it's probably even more lively than when the Hundred Regiments War happened. "

Kong Jie smiled and said: "Old Li, where are you now? This is only the first echelon of combat troops planned by our headquarters, and there is also the second echelon of troops that we have put into secret training!"

As for the second echelon troops mentioned by Kong Jie.

These include the Jizhong Military Region, the Shandong Military Region, and the rebuilt Tenth Army of Fang Zishan (Fang Zishan was unwilling to go to the front line. The general headquarters promised Fang Zishan that after the Japanese were completely defeated, he could be transferred to the rear and then serve as his instructor. , so this battle is still under his personal command and leadership), as well as the 51st Northeast Army that has been reorganized.

According to the final statistics of the General Staff.

This time, the first echelon of the Eighth Route Army has nearly thirty divisions. The specific force size is similar to what Li Yunlong calculated, totaling about 50 troops.

As for the specific troop dispatch plan, in the special experimental zone headquarters, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Li Wenjie, Zhao Gang and others were analyzing and discussing the war situation.

Kong Jie introduced in detail:

“According to the final decision of the General Command, the main force of our army in this Royal Plan operation will be divided into two echelons and advance simultaneously from three directions.

The main force of this first echelon is mainly composed of our old 129th Division troops, responsible for advancing all the way to Chifeng, Chengde and all the way to Jinxi.

In addition, they advance all the way to the middle of the Greater Khingan Mountains, preparing to cross to Qiqihar. The main force on this road is the main force of the old 120th Division.

The main mobile force passed directly through Xilin Gol, with our Iron Triangle Army as the main force, and attacked the Hailar Manzhouli area. After defeating the Hailar fortress group in the northern part of the Greater Khingan Range, it used it as a base to enter northern Manchuria and the main force of the 120th Division that crossed the Greater Khingan Range. Convergence.

After the troops from both sides join together, according to the follow-up combat plan, they will completely establish a foothold in the northern part of the Daxingan Mountains and completely open up our northernmost anti-Japanese revolutionary base behind enemy lines.

At the same time, it will advance from north to south with the main force of the 120th Division to the south until it completely defeats the Kwantung Army.

In addition, Commander Fu's main force will serve as a reserve force. After the offensive in these three directions opens a gap, the attack in these three directions will be strengthened at any time, providing favorable conditions for the subsequent development of the second echelon.

Once the battle begins, and the three main forces advance at the same time and launch a fierce offensive, it will definitely be a huge battle! "

Ding Wei nodded, and after analyzing the battle situation, he then proposed:

“Although our army is divided into two main echelons this time, the most important thing is naturally the main force of our first echelon.

The first echelon can be said to be a collection of the absolute elite troops of our Eighth Route Army, and even includes all our mechanized troops.

As for the second echelon, although it has assembled a lot of troops, after losing the advantage of mechanized combat, there are basically only some infantry left.

Without the elite main force of the first echelon, opening the entry channel in advance and establishing forward camps along the way, it would be very difficult to advance northward purely by infantry. "

"Yes!" Kong Jie was convinced of this.

With the analysis of this war, the war situation is about to begin. Li Yunlong, who is so excited, has been unable to close his eyes for several nights, holding the map and studying it all day long.

Lao Li said with some pride: "If the focus of the two echelons is on the first echelon, which is the first to advance, then the core of the first echelon's three-way advance is obviously on the third-way mobile force. .

After all, the Japs have been operating in Manchuria for so many years, and the defenses are as noisy as iron barrels. If our team rushes in, I am afraid that the Japs will concentrate their forces and eliminate them before they can establish a firm foothold and create a situation.

Therefore, after successfully advancing into Puppet Manchuria, the most important and urgent thing for our troops is to be able to open up a stable base behind enemy lines and be able to gain a firm foothold and fight against his little Japanese.

So in the northern part of the Daxingan Mountains, the stable base we plan to build based on the Hailar Fortress Group is particularly important.

And when it comes to the mobile force responsible for launching an advance attack on the Hailar Fortress Group this time..." Ding Wei took over the words and said with a smile: "Old Li, just say that the main offensive force of this mobile force is in our Iron Triangle Group Army. It's on me! "

Ha ha ha ha--

"That's what we mean!" Li Yunlong said: "This fortress group built by the little devils in the northern part of the Daxingan Mountains has a great reputation as a steel fortress, an absolute fortress.

Hehe, but I just don’t believe in this evil.

After this mobile force advances, our Iron Triangle Army, as the tip of the entire force and an absolute mobile elite, must defeat the Japanese's bullshit fortress group in the shortest possible time.

We have to let the little devil know that no matter what the steel fortress or the fortress is, under the offensive of our Iron Triangle Group Army, it is all bullshit! "

Kong Jie echoed with a smile: "Yes, although Lao Li's words are bragging, from this perspective, this time's troop advance plan is to quickly open up the situation. The first breakthrough is really focused on On our Iron Triangle Army.

If the fortress group in the northern part of the Daxingan Mountains cannot be breached in time and a stable rear military base can be built in time, our main two-pronged advance to the south will face greater risks.

If this is done well, it will be a confrontation between north and south.

Until the Kwantung Army was finally eaten!

But if our mobile elites don't fight well and fail to seize the initiative.

I'm afraid this advance operation will be troublesome. If the situation is better, we will be completely in a stalemate with the Kwantung Army, and the two sides will start a tug-of-war, fighting for it.

But once the situation deteriorates, not to mention that this advance operation will completely fail, we may even be completely shut down and beaten by the Japanese, and trapped in puppet Manchuria.

That would be a pretty bad situation! "

Of course, this is very unlikely.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Zhao Gang and other generals present were confident and confident at this time, but in fact they only represented a microcosm of all the generals of the Eighth Route Army.

Although this devil has built the puppet Manchuria like an iron wall.

However, according to the intelligence collected through infiltration within the Eighth Route Army, the Kwantung Army has long been gone over the past few years. It has mobilized a large number of elites and continued to send reinforcements to the Kwantung.

The Kwantung Army's control over the entire puppet Manchuria has long declined significantly.

Even if the Eighth Route Army gathers its main force for a frontal attack, the outcome of both sides is still unclear.

Not to mention that the Eighth Route Army has been planning for this three-way troop dispatch for many years. It has been prepared for a long time, and it has internal offensives as a cover. It even has internal troops that have sneaked into Kanto for a long time, and surprise troops are launched.

"So, before that, we must prepare everything in place as much as possible, and we must ensure that if we don't make a sound, it will be done, and if we make a sound, it will be done!"

As for the specific defense deployment of each base area and military region in the pass after the three-pronged army attack.

Kong Jie said: “We retain a certain amount of main force, plus the cooperation of local army units and even militia units, relying on the solid defense system built in the base area, and the backing of our aviation power.

Even if the little devils have the courage to launch a full-scale attack on our core base area, we can only leave the recovered areas we originally occupied to them and firmly hold the core base area.

In addition, the main force of our old 115th Division still remains in the pass to contain it.

Comrades of the New Fourth Army in Central and South China will also cooperate in launching offensives to contain the Japanese army.

As long as the offensive speed in the north is fast enough, by the time the little devil comes to his senses and realizes that our base areas in the pass are extremely empty of troops, our advance plan may have been successfully completed. "

To release more smoke bombs.

In order to cooperate with this alarming northward advance plan.

The Eighth Route Army made a big move in the eastern Mongolia area and built a permanent defense line in eastern Mongolia.

The Allied military conference in the direction of Licheng is still in full swing.

In addition, at this Allied Military Conference, the Eighth Route Army General Headquarters also specially invited Commander Yan and Commander Tang, who had a good foundation for joint operations with the Eighth Route Army during the Battle of Northern Henan.

In North China, especially in Shanxi, troops in various base areas of the Eighth Route Army launched multi-directional offensives to comprehensively regain lost ground.

It made a huge noise.

"We have to make the little devil believe in our strategic plan of attacking in the south and defending in the north!"

In response, Chief of Staff Xu Guoan said with a smile: "Lao Kong, now let alone the little devils, there is a high probability that they believe in our battle plan of attacking from the south to defending in the north. Even the Jinsui Army and the Central Army have basically accepted this. I believed it 80%.

No, some time ago, the Tang Command headquarters in northern Henan sent us a special communication, asking us if the Eighth Route Army intends to join forces with Tang Keqin's Department for another joint operation after launching a counterattack! "

Kong Jie smiled and said: "This Tang Keqin is really good at taking advantage.

Seeing that our offensive to regain the lost ground was going smoothly, this old boy also wanted to drink some soup.

But this is a good thing. With the help of Tang Keqin's group army, the little devil may have even more headaches.

By the way, Lao Xu, how about the North China Security Army secretly instigating rebellion against the Japanese in Shanxi? "

At that time, the little Japanese had a headache because the occupied area was too large and the troops were stretched thin. They proposed to use China to rule China, recruited a large number of traitors and puppet troops, and also formed some kind of North China Security Army. Relying on these two Japanese soldiers, a very small number of Japanese troops controlled a huge area of ​​occupation. district.

But now they are defeated like a mountain.

The little devil must have experienced what it means to beat a dog in the water when a tree falls and the hozen is dispersed.

Seeing that their small life is over, they still expect the puppet soldiers who are already working as foreigners to work for them?

Go dream!

Since then, the Eighth Route Army's advantages in frontal military operations have become more and more obvious.

The work of secretly instigating rebellion and inducing surrender by those puppet troops has been carried out more and more smoothly.

How exaggerated is it?

When the little devils arranged dormitories for the puppet troops in the defense area, they had to arrange them on the second and third floors. They did not dare to put them on the first floor, for fear that the puppet troops would be directly incited to rebel if they came into contact with the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the night. The Japanese were hacked to death in bed without making a sound.

After all, this situation is not uncommon.

——Xu Guoan replied as expected: "The leaders of the puppet army have agreed to surrender and promised us that once we launch an offensive, they will take the opportunity to defect on the battlefield and help us kill the enemy!"
