The father of the sword is Kong Jie

When the battle to advance north was in full swing.

The left-behind troops of the Eighth Route Army in North China launched Operation August Storm and launched a counterattack against the Japanese. The New Fourth Army in Central and South China also continued to launch counterattacks after breaking through the Japanese sweep.

In order to provide subsequent resource supply for the combat troops advancing northward after they have successfully established a foothold in Puppet Manchuria.

Long before the combat troops advancing northward set off, under the deployment of the former enemy's general headquarters, the Eighth Route Army was already planning a transportation artery that could lead directly to the north.

——It starts from the Sunit Grassland in the north, connects with Huade County in the middle, and ends at the Mongolian Defense Line in the south, spanning hundreds of miles. From here, it goes to Rehe, and then enters Puppet Manchuria. This will serve as the follow-up of the combat troops advancing north. The most stable material transportation line.

With the help of this transportation line, it is even possible to connect the base areas established by the troops advancing northward in western Puppet Manchuria with the base areas north of the North China Front.

In order to ensure the smooth flow of this transportation line, the Eighth Route Army spent a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and even cooperated with the Chiang Kai-shek Army to attract those who were sincerely resisting Japan, even if it was to help maintain the transportation line.

In addition, the Jiaodong area is still used as a springboard for the bombing plan in the small days.

This plan was originally intended to achieve the purpose of concealing the enemy from the enemy and to provide cover for the plan to advance northwards.

But if they really find loopholes and opportunities, the aviation forces in the Jiaodong area will not mind launching an attack on the Xiaoli homeland.

While the Eighth Route Army's bases in North China were exchanging fire with the Japanese, Jiaodong Wendeng Airport was also brightly lit, and the joint air force composed of the Eighth Route Army, the Soviet Union, the British, the United States, and the French was forming a pre-departure group.

Commander Xu personally read out the action order and included important points to note.

The bomber force is divided into two echelons. The first echelon is composed of B25 bombers, mosquito night fighters, and P38 fighters from four air force bases in Jizhong, Jinan, Linyi, and Jiaodong.

The target was air strikes on ports in Busan, Jeju Island, and Tsushima. Radar stations continued large-scale air strikes to attract the attention of Japanese night fighters, and used radar advantages to severely damage Japanese night air forces in Sasebo and Busan.

The formation departed from Hai Duong Airport.

The second echelon is a multinational coalition air force composed of high-altitude strategic bombers, targeting the Hiroshima area and carrying out carpet bombing of all military targets.

In the headquarters of Jiaodong Wendeng Airport, Doolittle, Davis, Charles, Liuvshko - the commander of the Soviet Air Force, Jolly - the commander of the Free French Air Force, Staff Liu, Zhang Dabiao, and Shen Izumi and the others are still making plans for an air attack on Hiroshima.

Zhang Dabiao took the lead in introducing the situation:

"In order to plan the final air attack on Hiroshima, during this period of time, we have been continuously dispatching air forces to harass and investigate Japanese Sasebo, Nagasaki and other areas.

The little devil was indeed fooled. In order to guard against our air attacks, a large number of local air forces, including night fighters and corresponding electric reconnaissance units, have been deployed around Nagasaki.

At present, the Japs' attention is basically focused on the Nagasaki area. If we take the opportunity to raid the final bombing target, the Japs will most likely be caught off guard. "

"Of course, we still need to make some further feints before the final goal is launched."

However, everyone disagreed about some of the feint targets before the air attack on Hiroshima.

After all, air strikes by large aircraft groups are too easy to detect.

Small-scale aircraft fleet harassment may not be able to fool the little devils.

In the end, Shen Quan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said with a whim: "In terms of the art of war, true and false, false and false, false and true, if you want to completely confuse the little devil, a single plan may not be safe, it is best to set up a chain of count.

First, we carried out high-altitude bombing on Tsushima, Busan, Sasebo, and Nagasaki areas to attract Japanese night fighter units.

The Japanese army will definitely be on guard, but they will also be worried that we are feigning an attack. After all, we have not dispatched a large-scale battle group, and the Japanese army will soon receive the news.

At this juncture, what about our sudden air strikes on the airports, ports, and military facilities in the Ryukyu Islands?

Of course, it's all a show. In order to paralyze the Japanese army's judgment, the bomber formation we sent out for this air attack should be larger. At least we should make a bigger noise, so that the little devils can believe that this is the main force of our aviation force. .

At this point, will the Japanese think that our air strikes on Busan and Sasebo, as well as the military bases and radar stations in the Nagasaki area are just feint attacks?

For the final air raid on the Ryukyu Islands?

Under this combination of virtual and real, if the little devil is shaken by us, his attention will probably be attracted by the large-scale bombing of Ryukyu.

At this time, our main aviation formation crossed the Tsushima Strait at high altitude and launched an air attack on the final target of the Hiroshima area.

Everyone said, based on the little devil’s brains, could they have thought of our series of strategies? "

As soon as this plan came out, everyone praised it and thought it was feasible.

Zhang Dabiao even smiled and said: "Old Shen, Old Shen, you are really good at it. After all these years, you still like to play dirty!"

Chen Quan said: "What does it mean to play dirty? This is called wisdom, which is the embodiment of the minimum military literacy of an excellent commander.

What age are we in, Dabiao, I told you before, it’s not enough to just play dumb.

Take our old group leader as an example. On the surface, everyone thinks it is real, but when it comes to playing dirty tricks, ten Chenquan tied together are not the same.

But what?

Hehe, who mentioned that our old team leader is not allowed to give a thumbs up and say that Lao Kong is a capable person? "

Zhang Dabiao was defeated: "Well, well, I won't tell you anymore. I said you are fat and you are breathless. Let's continue to discuss the specific air raid plan!"

Finally, this entire set of feint cover plans was formally formulated.

As for the results, they are even more satisfying.

First, areas such as the Falklands were attacked by air raids. During this period, the Japanese homeland, which was threatened by the Eighth Route Army's Jiaodong Peninsula Aviation Force, was already panic-stricken and turbulent.

After being raided in the Falklands area, the Japanese army did not dare to delay at all and launched defense non-stop.

As a result, just as the kid's attention was attracted, the Ryukyu area was attacked by a large-scale aviation force of the Eighth Route Army.

——At least that's how it looks on the surface. The bombing was very noisy.

The air defense headquarters of the Ryukyu Islands urgently requested reinforcements.

The Japanese local aviation force hastily organized a group of interceptor aircraft and rushed to the Ryukyu Islands.

The poor little devil never imagined that the Eighth Route Army's air force's air strikes against the Ryukyu Islands were also attacks from above.

Just after the Japanese were completely fooled.

The Eighth Route Army's large-scale aviation formation suddenly launched an air raid on the Hiroshima area. The Japanese were caught off guard by the bombing. Various factories were bombed, and no airport, military camp, or port was spared.

In particular, the Katsuragi and Kaiying aircraft carriers under construction in Wujun Port were also bombed and sunk, and the Yamato under overhaul in the dock was almost scrapped by heavy armor-piercing bombs.

The final result was so rich that even the generals at the Eighth Route Army Aviation Command who formulated the air raid plan were a little surprised.

What a special harvest!

News spread quickly after the bombing campaign ended.

In the early days, there was an uproar in the country, and the soldiers and civilians were panicked. Everyone was in danger for a while, and they also expressed deep doubts about the combat effectiveness of the government troops.

The domestic base camp is almost going crazy.

Okamura was driven crazy. Under heavy pressure and urging, China's original plan of dispatching troops to encircle and suppress the New Fourth Army was almost completely overturned.

Troops were forced to speed up operations without adequate preparation.

The domestic headquarters headquarters even specifically requested Okamura to speed up the final decisive battle against the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to completely eliminate these two Chinese armies and eliminate the threat of air attacks on the homeland.

The commander of the first division, who was originally at the joint headquarters and prepared to attack Taizhou as planned, immediately decided to change his plan after receiving information about the Japanese mobilization.

"Stop the advance, change the rear team to the front team, and advance towards the Huai'an area! I heard that the Japs are going to give us a big gift, a heavy artillery unit. Wouldn't it be a pity if we don't want it?"

The cadres under his command were confused and said, "Commander, there are two Japanese divisions in Huai'an. It may not be easy for us to seize all the Japanese heavy artillery!"

The chief of staff guessed the division commander's thoughts and said with a smile: "According to the intelligence we secretly received, the Japs from Huai'an marched to Yancheng yesterday.

The little devil's mechanized transportation capabilities are very poor today.

After the main force marched in a hurry, the heavy artillery force could not keep up and had to fall behind.

The little devils were also afraid that we would miss these heavy artillery pieces, so they tightened the information blockade. However, the news accidentally leaked out, allowing us to find out the situation.

This is a big fat piece of meat, it smells so good, it has a whole heavy artillery regiment, who wouldn't be jealous of it? "

The first division commander said excitedly: "Nothing to say, just eat it. If we don't eat it, we might be snatched away by other teams.

After destroying this heavy artillery unit, the troops pretended to attack Taizhou and went straight to Yangzhou. Once they have the capital, they should go for big business. Haha, I am going to get rich this time too! "

At this time, under the hasty mobilization of troops by the Japanese army, the defense line in the rear was actually quite empty.

In the words of a division commander: "As long as we successfully pass through, it will be equivalent to the monkey getting into the monster's belly. Why don't we just leave it to us?"

...The battle in northern Henan has reached a climax.

Commander Yang made a high-profile statement at the joint command military meeting:

"This time the troops gathered two armies to fight north. It is indeed a big plan, but our northern Henan region cannot be left behind either.

They can't have a big war in the north, and we here can just wait and watch the fun, right?

If they beat theirs and we beat ours, they may not be worse than them! "

After final discussion, the generals decided:

Commander Yang, Lao Wei's detachment, Commander Chen in southern Hebei Province, and Commander Tang joined forces to first attack Hebi and then attack Puyang.

After the offensive was fully launched.

No one expected that the Fourth Armored Brigade of the Japanese, under the instruction of the old Japanese Harada, would directly take all the supplies and equipment and escape to the Xinxiang base camp.

Later, I heard that the mainland was being attacked by air strikes. Commander Okamura was busy besieging the Yancheng headquarters of the New Fourth Army, and there were no reinforcements to reinforce him.

So he completely lost the courage to fight against the Eighth Route Army, and continued to lead his troops to the Longhai line to garrison Zhengzhou.

The Eighth Route Army and Jiang Jun took the opportunity to cut off the connection between Luoyang and Zhengzhou, and directly surrounded Luoyang from all sides.

For a moment, the situation on the battlefield was completely reversed.

Okamura is at the Nanjing headquarters, and the entire headquarters is almost filled with telegrams received these days.

The domestic base camp personally supervised when the New Fourth Army headquarters and the temporary airport they built could be eliminated, and then work with the North China Front to sweep the Jiaodong Peninsula again.

If the instructions from the top domestic officials were followed, it would actually completely disrupt Okamura's original battle plan.

Okamura is also helpless. All the ambitions he had earlier have been lost. Now he just wants to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall and barely maintain the situation.

It was a mess everywhere.

The defenders in northern Henan asked for help, but were attacked by the Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army. Luoyang was besieged.

The defenders in central Hebei applied for building materials and ammunition and prepared to build solid fortifications to garrison.

The Chuzhou garrison reported that the New Fourth Army mobile unit field unit had failed to intercept and needed reinforcements.

The port in the north of Nanjing was even shelled by the New Fourth Army.

A group of communications staff asked for instructions on how to respond.

Okamura was so angry that he pushed away the pile of documents on the table and said angrily: "Tell each district commander to either hold on to the position or commit suicide by disembowelment to apologize to the emperor.

Grit your teeth and hold on, hold on to the danger and wait for reinforcements from the rear troops! "

But in fact, there is no such thing as reinforcements.

The little devil was completely submerged in the ocean-like offensive.

……

At this time, in the western part of Puppet Manchuria, inside the Hailar fortresses of the Japanese, the original plaster period had been removed, trampled under the feet of the soldiers, and then replaced with the sickle and ax flag of the Eighth Route Army.

The trumpet of victory has been completely blown.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and other generals couldn't help but sigh while looking around in the Hailar Fortress Group.

"To be fair, the military quality of the Kwantung Army is really good. Look at the fortifications built by them. They are exquisite. The hidden places of each ring fortification are scattered in place. The distribution and coordination of the fire support points are excellent. The chain of bunkers is a masterpiece. The settings are well organized.

To be honest, in front of such a strong fortification, if you are facing a combat force with similar or even worse equipment level than your own.

Unless we pay three, five, or even ten times the huge casualty price, it is possible to pose a certain threat to such a fortification group that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In addition, if a fortified battle is launched, it is basically impossible to lay such a strong fortification! "

Ding Wei deeply agrees with this: “What Lao Kong said is absolutely right.

This attack on the Japs' Hailar Fortress Qiong, if we had not relied on our absolutely crushing artillery advantage, we would have even used heavy artillery, rockets, and armor-piercing shells to tear apart the Japs' steel fortress defenses.

Even if this battle can be won, the brutality is unimaginable.

This makes me somewhat emotional. In the past few years, we have focused our strategic attention on this area.

But the battle plan to advance north has been delayed again and again.

At that time, many of our cadres were depressed and felt that if we wanted to fight, we would fight, so why delay.

But now think about it, if our attack on the Hylar fortress group was launched before this, even half a year in advance, judging from our equipment level that has not been fully developed.

This battle is going to be very difficult! "

"To put it simply, if you don't have diamonds, you won't be able to do the porcelain work. Now we come here with diamonds, how else can we do this kind of work?" Li Yunlong laughed.
