It must have been retribution.
Chapter 527
Anhua County, Shanxi Northwest Column Command.
Discussions about the sudden large-scale increase of Japanese troops in the North China battlefield are still going on.
The brigade commander said: "That is to say, the Japanese government's large-scale increase of seven divisions to North China may not be aimed at our [-]th Brigade or the Shanxi Northwest Column, but Okamura Ningji will not miss this opportunity. , will definitely use these troops to sweep up our Northwest Shanxi Military Region by the way, and try to eat up our Northwest Shanxi Column, does that mean?"
"Yes, that's what it means." Wang Ye said, "Ningji Okamura will definitely do this."
The brigade commander said: "Then the question is, when do you think Neiji Okamura will do it?"
Wang Ye said: "That depends on when the North China Front Army can raise enough combat supplies. If the combat supplies are in place, he can launch an attack on our Northwest Shanxi Military Region tomorrow."
The brigade commander said: "Then how long do you think Okamura Ningji will be able to raise combat supplies?"
"It's really hard to say." Wang Ye shook his head, "It stands to reason that the North China Front Army doesn't have much material reserves, otherwise the First Army wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation during the previous raids. But I absolutely do not believe that the Japanese base camp did not store combat materials."
Li Yunlong said impatiently: "Xiao Wang, just ask Neiji Okamura if he can get enough combat supplies."
"Regimental Commander, it depends on what the top Japanese army and the old devil Hirohito think." Wang Ye said, "If the Japanese army base camp and the old devil Hirohito put the Pacific battlefield first, then Neiji Okamura will raise three at most. Combat materials for the battle of five divisions, just with this little material, let alone seven divisions, Little Japan will not even think about adding [-] divisions to pose a threat to our Shanxi Northwest Column. "
"Because it's useless to have soldiers without combat supplies."
"The 70 devil soldiers with bayonets, that is, 70 pigs, were killed in a few days."
After a pause, Wang Ye continued: "But if the Japanese base camp and Hirohito put the North China battlefield and the Pacific battlefield on an equal footing, then Neiji Okamura is very likely to raise ten to twenty division battle shares. If we don’t have enough supplies, we’re afraid we’ll be in big trouble.”
"What?" the brigade commander said sternly, "combat supplies for the battle of ten to twenty divisions?"
Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Zhao Gang and others also looked at each other in blank dismay: "Can there be so many?"
Wang Yedao: "I estimate that the Japanese base camp has stored combat materials for at least [-] divisions in the past two years, otherwise they would never have the courage to launch the Pacific War."
This is not an estimate, but a certainty.
Because Wang Ye has read relevant historical materials, he knows that the Japanese army prepared a total of [-] divisions and regiments before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The army and the Yin army seized a large amount of materials, so the combat materials stored in the Japanese base camp should not be reduced much, and there should be at least [-] divisions to fight.
In addition, the Kwantung Army also has at least [-] combat supplies for divisions.
Therefore, if the Japanese base camp is really determined to launch a wave of large-scale offensive operations on the North China battlefield, or launch a campaign to open up the mainland communication line now, it is actually fully capable.
After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "Now it depends on how the top Japanese army positions the North China battlefield."
If it was the original world line, the top Japanese army would definitely not pay attention to the North China battlefield, but would only put almost all combat materials and most of the elite troops into the Pacific battlefield.
But the problem is, the world line has completely changed now.
Due to the appearance of Wang Ye, the battlefield in Shanxi has changed beyond recognition.
Whether the high-level Japanese army can realize the severe situation facing the Shanxi battlefield, no one knows, but Okamura Ningji, an old devil, will definitely be able to see it.
Therefore, now it depends on whether Neiji Okamura can persuade the high-level Japanese army.
The brigade commander took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "There is a way to predict the enemy with ease. If this is the case, we must prepare for the worst. We must position the North China battlefield as the same as the Pacific battlefield according to the high-level Japanese army. It is important to consider it and prepare for war based on it.”
Wang Ye said solemnly: "In this case, our Shanxi Northwest Column will usher in an unprecedented fierce battle, and the severity of this fierce battle will exceed everyone's imagination."
Hearing this, everyone's expression froze.
Ma Yuan said: "Will it be more tragic than the battle of Shuiyao Mountain?"
Wang Ye said: "Yes, it will be ten times more tragic than the battle at Shuiyao Mountain."
Ding Wei said: "In this case, we have to make two-handed preparations. First of all, we must stand firm and use favorable conditions to kill the enemy's vital forces as much as possible. But once the situation deteriorates to the point of irreversibility, we will not die and blindly defend. We should save Vitality is the top priority, what should be transferred must be transferred, and what should be abandoned must be abandoned.”
"That's the reason." Li Yunlong and Kong Jie nodded at the same time, "The chairman said that if you lose land, you will lose all land, and if you lose land, you will have land. The devil is reckless."
Zhao Gang frowned and said, "But the problem is that today is different from the past. In the past, although our base areas had factories and so on, there were relatively few pots and jars. If we said we would give up, we would give up. But now our base area in Northwest Shanxi has built a large The industrial park, including the large arsenal, already has a strong ordnance production capacity!"
"And to make matters worse, most of the machinery and equipment in these factories cannot be moved."
After a pause, he continued, "It would be a pity if we give up the Northwest Shanxi base at this time."
Xing Zhiguo is now in charge of logistics, and he was deeply touched by Zhao Gang's words, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, now the arsenal can reload 100 rounds of ammunition and [-] rounds of artillery shells a day, and [-] million rounds of ammunition in a month. And [-] rounds of shells, how many devils can these bullets and shells kill? So we must not give up the base area in Northwest Shanxi!"
Zhao Gang went on to say: "Moreover, the economic construction of the Northwest Shanxi base area is also doing very well. The public grain collected is not only more than enough to feed [-] regular troops, but also has surplus grain to support brother units. More importantly, the mass base is also good. Such an already It would be a pity to give up on a regular base area so easily.”
The cadres present were divided into two factions. The military chiefs like Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie insisted on giving up, but the political and logistics chiefs like Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo insisted on sticking.
The brigade commander also had a hard time choosing, so he immediately asked Wang Ye, "Xiao Wang, is it possible to move the factory ahead of time?"
Wang Yedao: "Of course relocation is not a problem. It is not a problem to relocate the factory to Jiugong Mountain, Crouching Tiger Mountain or Fuliang Mountain, but if you want to transfer it to other places, it will be very difficult."
The brigade commander said: "Can the factory be transferred to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region?"
"Brigade Commander, I have considered this a long time ago." Wang Ye sighed, "Actually, before the construction of the Wanmadu Industrial Park, I considered transporting all the machinery and equipment directly to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and setting up a factory. The reality is that there are no large ferries in our zone to transport equipment across the river."
"If you want to transport equipment weighing several tons or even more than ten tons across the Yellow River, you must go to the large ferry in southern Shanxi, or to the gentle water of Hetao. Unfortunately, you must pass through Taiyuan to go to southern Jin The Hetao road has to pass through Datong, and unless Taiyuan or Datong is conquered first, there is no way to transfer machinery and equipment to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.”
The brigade commander also let out a long sigh when he heard the words. He actually knew that the answer would be this way, but he was just thinking about it in case.
"Okay, then I won't mention this." The brigade commander sighed and asked again, "Then, in the current situation, do you advocate sticking to it? Or do you advocate giving up when necessary?"
"Giving up, of course it has to be giving up." Wang Ye said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and other cadres sighed softly.
It can be seen that the brigade commander attaches great importance to Wang Ye's opinions, and even Wang Ye advocates giving up the base area, so this matter is basically a foregone conclusion.
After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "The reason is very simple. If Ningji Okamura really mobilized more than five heavy divisions to mobilize, including heavy divisions like the 1st Division, then No matter how we defend, the northwestern Shanxi base will eventually be lost, and there will be no suspense in this outcome."
"However, before finally abandoning the Northwest Shanxi base,"
"We must maximize the potential of the Northwest Shanxi base!"
"We have to take advantage of the favorable terrain in Northwest Shanxi and the reloaded ammunition in the Northwest Shanxi Arsenal to inflict as much damage to the Japanese army as possible. With heavy casualties, it is impossible to step into the base area in Northwest Shanxi!"
Hearing this, the brigade commander made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Then formulate a combat plan based on this opinion, and then report it to the division headquarters and headquarters for approval from the superior."
……
"Yes!" Wang Ye agreed, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Li Xia hurried in.
"Captain." Li Xia reported, "The headquarters of the first division just called, saying that the Japanese troops stationed in Datong are being frequently mobilized. Part of the Japanese army went out to the border of Yingxian County and had a small-scale exchange of fire with the local armed forces in our first division. However, after the main force of our first division rushed to reinforce, the Japanese army retreated to the border between Yingxian County and Datong, and began repairs Fortifications."
Ding Weidao: "This was a routine operation of the Japanese army before the war. They used frequent troop movements to confuse the public, disrupt our judgment, and cover up their true intentions."
Kong Jie said, "Mother, is this the beginning?"
Li Yunlong also scolded: "Is this old devil Neji Okamura so eager to reincarnate?"
Wang Ye was also secretly startled. The Japanese army would start sweeping up the base areas in Northwest Shanxi so soon, which was really beyond his expectation. He originally thought that he would have to prepare for several days.
What surprised Wang Ye even more was that there was no warning before.
Okamura Neiji completed all the pre-war preparations without making a fuss?
Just when Wang Ye was in doubt, another telegraph soldier hurried in and handed a telegram to Wang Ye.
After reading the telegram, Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Let me just say, Neiji Okamura is not a god, how could he prepare for war so quickly, haha."
The brigade commander said: "Xiao Wang, what happened to the Japanese army in Datong?"
Wang Ye raised the telegram in his hand and said: "This is a telegram from the [-]th Division. They are closer to the Japanese army and can see the Japanese army's movements more clearly. According to their judgment, the change of the Japanese army in Datong is only the action of the entire Mongolian army. Now the entire garrison in Mongolia has moved, and there is a high probability that the garrison in Mongolia will be directed at the Sui army."
"Sui Jun?" Kong Jie said, "Damn, I don't understand this. Why did the devil go after Sui Jun again?"
Ding Wei's eyes flashed, and he said: "In my opinion, the troops stationed in Mongolia appear to be directed at the Sui Army, but in fact they are still directed at our northwestern Shanxi column."
Kong Jie said, "Old Ding, what do you say?"
Ding Wei said: "Because the Hetao is behind our base area in the northwest of Shanxi, it is the defense area of the Sui Army, and the relationship between the Sui Army and our Eighth Route Army is good, so the devils are worried that we will cross the Yellow River to break through the Sui Army defense area at a critical moment, so we have to advance Drive away the Sui army and seize the Hetao area, so that we can complete our encirclement!"
Wang Yedao: "I agree with Commander Ding's opinion, Neiji Okamura is preparing for the big sweep later."
Li Yunlong said hesitantly: "So, Okamura Ningji, this old devil is quite cruel. He doesn't want to leave a little way for our Shanxi Northwest Column to survive!"
After a pause, he continued: "But this old devil seems to have forgotten that our old Li never used the back door to break through. What I like most is to break through from the front. This time, I must let the old devil have a taste of Sakata Shinzhe."
"Old Li, you can die if you don't brag." Kong Jie said angrily, "The time in Cangyunling was just a fluke."
"It was a fluke?" Li Yunlong snorted, "I'm telling you, Kong Er, the time in Cang Yunling was really not a fluke, it was our old Li's ability."
"Okay, shut up." The brigade commander interrupted the quarrel between the two, and said, "I order that all detachments immediately prepare for battle and are ready to cross the Yellow River west to support the Sui army at any time."
"Yes!" Ding Wei and the three of them responded abruptly.
……
Chongqing, Yunxiu Building, the official residence of Huangshan Mountain.
Defense Minister Bai Jiansheng, Military and Political Minister He Jingzhi, Military Command Minister Xu Cichen, and Military Training Minister Chen Cixiu and other senior generals have also rushed to Yunxiu Tower.
It is no small matter that the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia will launch a large-scale attack on the Sui army.
But Chang Kaishen is probably the only one who is really anxious, because Bai Jiansheng is a general of the Guangxi Clique, Xu Cichen is an old man of the Jin Army, He Jingzhi is the head of the non-commissioned officer department studying in Japan, and Chen Cixiu is a boss of the Civil Engineering Department, they will not care about the Sui Army There is no way to substitute Chang Kaishen's state of mind for Baosui's army.
Chang Kaishen died to protect the Sui Army not only to balance Yan Xishan, but also to leave a wedge in North China!
If even the wedge of the Sui Army was pulled out by the Japanese, then the influence of the national army in North China would be very small. After the Anti-Japanese War in the future, wouldn't the whole of North China fall into the hands of the Communist Party?
Such a situation was absolutely unacceptable to Chang Kaishen.
In fact, it was the existence of the wedge of the Sui Army that made the North China, which was originally in the best situation, progress the slowest during the War of Liberation.
It has to be said that Chang Kaishen was right in supporting the Sui Army.
After all the staff and senior generals arrived, Chang Kaishen said: "Everyone, the Japanese army in North China has shown its fangs, and the Sui Army is in danger. The safety of Guanzhong, and the safety of Guanzhong is related to the safety of Hanzhong Bashu, and even more related to the safety of the party and the country!"
After a pause, he continued: "So Suiyuan and Suijun don't allow mistakes. If you have any good suggestions, please don't hesitate to give them your advice. The Party Congress appreciates your suggestions and suggestions."
After Chang Kaishen finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence.
Seeing that no one was willing to finish, Chang Kaishen could only roll the roll: "Jiansheng, tell me."
Bai Jiansheng said helplessly: "The Sui army is alone in the frontier outside the Great Wall. It was originally a lone army. Not to mention that the war zones are far apart, even if it is too late to send troops to rescue, what's more, the battles in the war zones are already tight, and there is no way to move troops. Well, for example, Hu Zongnan's First Army, which is stationed in Guanzhong, dares to move lightly because it wants to guard the defense line of the Yellow River?"
Chang Kaishen said with a dark face: "Is there no other way? Can we just watch the Sui army being eaten by the Japanese army?"
"Chairman, Fu Yisheng is a famous general, and the Japanese army may not be able to defeat the Sui Army." Bai Jiansheng waved his hand, and said, "If the chairman really wants to send reinforcements, I'm afraid the only option is the Eighth Route Army. Eighth Route Army [-] The main force of the division and the [-]th Brigade are not far from Suiyuan, and these are two elite divisions."
Chang Kaishen's face collapsed, and he said in a deep voice, "The [-]th Division and the [-]th Brigade?"
These are indeed two elite divisions, especially the [-]th Brigade, which is a first-class unit capable of fighting tough battles, but the question is, can these two units listen to Chang Kaishen's call?
Bai Jiansheng said: "Try it, maybe the Eighth Route Army is willing to help?"
Chang Kaishen rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a deep voice, "Aren't there any of our troops nearby?"
Bai Jiansheng smiled and said, "Yan Baichuan's Jin army is not too far away. The question is, how much combat power does the Jin army have left now? Can it go north to rescue the Sui army?"
At this time, Chen Bulei suddenly said: "The party state still has an army in the northwest of Shanxi, the 94th Brigade alone."
"Oh, that's right." Chang Kaishen woke up like a dream, clapped his hands and said, "I even forgot that the 94th Independent Brigade is in Northwest Shanxi, and it's only a stone's throw away from Suiyuan!"
Chapter 528
"A brigade?" Bai Jiansheng said, "What use is a brigade?"
Chang Kaishen said: "What's wrong with a brigade? Isn't the [-]th brigade a brigade?"
"Uh..." Bai Jiansheng was speechless for a moment, there was really no way to refute these words.
Chang Kaishen said to Tang Zong again: "Nai Jian, call the 94th Brigade of Independence immediately and ask them to attack the Japanese army in Mongolia immediately, and delay the Japanese army in Mongolia at all costs, so as to buy time for the Sui army to prepare."
Almost without any hesitation, Chang Kaishen gave up on the 94th Independent Brigade.
Because the 94th Brigade is completely incomparable with the Sui Army, let Chang Kaishen choose, he will not hesitate to choose to sacrifice the 94th Brigade to save the Sui Army, even though Liang Gang is also his student.
"Yes." Tang Zong agreed, turned around and left in a hurry.
Chen Bulei suddenly felt a little regretful, it would be better if he didn't mention it just now.
This blow may kill thousands of soldiers of the 94th Brigade alone.
……
Fu'an County, the headquarters of the 94th Brigade.
Zhu Jiahua also set up a sand table with several combat staff officers.
At this moment, Liang Gang, Zhu Jiahua and several combat staff officers were standing beside the sand table.
