Taihang Mountains. Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Just when Li Guoyao and others were having a meeting in Xiong'er Mountain, Zhuluo Village in the Taihang Mountains had a different scene!
The small village was tightly protected by Eighth Route Army soldiers with live ammunition. In an independent courtyard on the west side of the village, many Eighth Route Army commanders came in and out, making it very busy.
The radio station in the headquarters has been beeping non-stop, and from time to time the combat staff will report the latest situation to the superiors!
In front of the military map on the side, more than a dozen senior officers of the Eighth Route Army were discussing the battle situation, which seemed very intense!
The middle-aged man wearing a gray military uniform in the middle of the crowd is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army. Since the commander-in-chief Mr. Zhu returned to Yan'an at the beginning of this year, Mr. Peng has been fully responsible for frontline affairs. This battle also Likewise, he is the commander-in-chief.
However, neither Mr. Peng nor Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo felt confident about this battle. After all, it was the first time in the history of the Eighth Route Army that so many troops had been deployed to actively fight against the Japanese. Whether it could achieve its strategic goals was still unknown. .
And regarding this battle, the differences within the Eighth Route Army are still very large. The Yan'an side and the Eighth Route Army's frontline headquarters have different opinions.
But itĄŻs not enough not to fight. No matter the international situation or the domestic situation, the Eighth Route Army is forced to take action!
??Internationally, Germany sent troops to occupy Denmark, suddenly attacked Norway, and after repelling the British and French expeditionary forces, occupied the entire territory of Norway. Afterwards, the German army invaded Western Europe, and the Netherlands, Belgium, and France surrendered. The British army withdrew from the European continent, and the British mainland was seriously threatened by invasion. The war situation in Europe stimulated Japan's desire to quickly subdue China in order to compete for hegemony in Asia and the Pacific.
After that, the Japanese Army Ministry formulated the "Strategy for Handling China Issues with the Target of Showa 15 and 16", which was officially adopted at the Army Ministry and Department Heads' Meeting. The main point is to further unify and strengthen political strategy, strategy and strategy before the end of 1940, and use all our strength to quickly force the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek regime to surrender.
According to this "Strategy", the Japanese army focused on the political inducement to surrender to the Nationalist Government, and placed great expectations on the "Tong Work" that was being secretly carried out with the Kuomintang in Hong Kong. In order to cooperate with the "Tong Work", Japan further strengthened Blockade and military pressure on China.
In order to cut off the international transportation lines in southwest China, Japan took advantage of the serious defeat of Britain and France in the European War and the weakening of its power in Asia to further exert pressure on Britain and France, threatening them to block the international transportation lines between China and Myanmar and China and Vietnam.
First, France could not withstand the huge pressure from the Japanese army and agreed to completely block the Sino-Vietnamese border and allowed Japanese military personnel to enter Vietnam to monitor the embargo against China.
Subsequently, the United Kingdom notified Japan that it agreed to close the Burma Highway, and officially announced that starting from July 18, it would ban the transportation of ordnance, ammunition, gasoline, heavy-duty trucks, and railway materials to China through Myanmar for three months. Hong Kong also embargoed the shipment at the same time. , the appeasement policy of Britain and France reduced China's arms imports by about 51%, which was in difficulty during the Anti-Japanese War.
The international situation is very unfavorable to China, and the domestic situation is also worrying!
On May 1, 1940, the Japanese army launched the Zaoyi Battle, the largest since the Wuhan Battle, and launched Operation Liangkou in Guangdong in an attempt to increase military pressure on the Chinese government.
During the Zaoyi battle, the Japanese army had no intention of occupying Yichang for a long time. However, inspired by the German occupation of Paris, the French capital, they changed their original intention and decided to occupy Yichang in order to directly threaten Chongqing and shake the Nationalist government's will to resist the war.
With Yichang as its base, the Japanese aviation force further escalated its strategic bombing of China's rear areas.
Japan has comprehensively strengthened its economic blockade, military offensive and political inducement to surrender against China, which has added greater difficulties to the war of resistance. Some people in the Kuomintang have become even more wavering, and the crisis of compromise and surrender is unprecedentedly serious.
The situation in North China is also not good. Since Tada Shun took office, the Japanese army has implemented the "cage policy" of "using railways as pillars, highways as chains, and bunkers as locks".
The Zhengtai Railway is one of the important pillars of the Japanese army's implementation of this policy. The Japanese army has built strong strongholds in large and small towns, stations, bridges, and tunnels along the railway. They are guarded by dozens to hundreds of troops and armored trains. patrol. A line of peripheral strongholds has been built at key points 10 to 15 kilometers on both sides of the railway.
The Japanese army claimed that the Zhengtai Railway was an "inaccessible" area, and used it to isolate the Taihang Anti-Japanese Base Area where the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the 129th Division operated from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, and used it as a basis to attack the Anti-Japanese Base Area.
At the same time, the Kuomintang provoked the first uprising climax in North China and launched a large-scale military offensive against the Shanxi New Army and the Eighth Route Army, causing the Japanese army's "cage policy" toSo as to take advantage of the opportunity to implement it, it will cause serious difficulties to the anti-Japanese base areas.
Under this circumstance, the Eighth Route Army headquarters made up its mind to discuss and determine the attack on the Zhengtai Railway, attack the communication lines behind enemy lines, deal a powerful blow to the enemy's North China Front, crush Japan's attempt, and improve the situation nationwide.
Pre-war preparations had begun a month ago. The Eighth Route Army Headquarters first issued a "Campaign Preparation Order" to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the 129th and 120th Divisions, stipulating that the total number of troops directly participating in the battle on the main line should be no less than 22. Regiment, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is required to send 10 regiments, the 129th Division to send 8 regiments, the 120th Division to send 4 to 6 regiments, most of the headquarters artillery regiment and the first section of the engineering corps to also participate in the battle; the troops cooperating with other railways, It is up to each district to make their own arrangements.
Two weeks ago, the Eighth Route Army headquarters issued a "Campaign Operation Order", which determined the campaign deployment and combat areas: the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region used 10 main regiments to destroy the Zhengtai Railway from Pingding to Shijiazhuang, focusing on destroying the Niangziguan and Pingding sections: around the border area Sufficient troops should be assigned to attack the Beining, Jinpu, Deshi, Cangshi, Pinghan and other railways at the same time to block enemies who may reinforce the Zhengtai Railway.
The 129th Division used 8 regiments as its main force and 1 battalion of the headquarters artillery regiment to attack and pacify the Yuci section, focusing on destroying the Yangquan and Zhangjing sections; Sufficient troops should be dispatched to attack the Handa and Lintun highways at the same time; powerful troops should be dispatched to actively carry out activities on the Pingluo highway.
The 120th Division should attack the Tongpu Railway and Fenli Highway north of Pingyao; to attack the Tongpu Railway, heavy troops should be deployed in the north and south of Yangqu to block the enemy's reinforcements from Zhengtai Road, and strive to advance to Yuci with about two regiments In the north and south areas, cooperate with the 129th Division in operations; troops should be assigned to actively attack various enemy strongholds and communication lines in the hinterland of northwestern Shanxi.
The headquartersĄŻ special agents have gathered in Xialiang and Xiying areas and are on standby. The campaign was unified under the command of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and the campaign was launched on August 20.
According to the orders of the headquarters, the above three major groups conducted reconnaissance and investigation of the enemy situation, terrain, fortifications and residents along the northern section of Zhengda Road and Tongpu Road. On this basis, the group's combat deployment was determined and secretly Mobilize troops, organize participating troops to conduct short-term attack and road-breaking training, prepare supplies and equipment, and conduct pre-war mobilization. The local government vigorously organized and mobilized the masses to prepare for various pre-support tasks.
Today is August 20th. If nothing else happens, the battle will start tonight, so the atmosphere in the entire Eighth Route Army headquarters is very tense.
"Zhi Lin, how are the preparations of each unit? We won't let anything slip at the critical moment!" Commander Peng asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing the boss's question, Chief of Staff Zuo immediately said: "Everything is ready. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has decided to deploy 8 infantry regiments, 1 cavalry regiment, two cavalry battalions, 3 artillery companies, 1 engineer company and 5 A guerrilla detachment, composed of 3 main columns, 1 clamping force and a general reserve force, is responsible for the Zhengtai Railway combat mission."
Ą°At the same time, attack arrangements were also made on the Gaobeidian to Shijiazhuang section of the Pinghan-Hankou Railway, the Pingjin section of the Beining Railway, and the Botou Town to Tangguantun section of the Tianjin-Puzhou Railway. It was required that the above-mentioned Japanese traffic lines must be cut off to ensure the smooth progress of the main offensive operations. In addition, troops from the 2nd, 5th, and 8th Army divisions were deployed to conduct clampdown activities in the northern section of the Tongpu Railway, the Yanbei area, and along the Jinpu Railway."
"The 129th Division issued instructions to prepare for the Shota Campaign on July 22, designated 8 regiments to participate in the battle, and required the participating troops to be prepared. Yesterday they sent a telegram to report the situation, saying that all troops had arrived at the scheduled location, ensuring that tonight Definitely ready for the fight!Ą±
"The 120th Division decided to deploy 20 regiments to focus on attacking the Tongpu Railway and Xinjing and Fenli Highways north of Taiyuan, and cooperate with the Zhengtai Line operations."
Then Chief of Staff Zuo continued: "Boss, the total number of troops directly participating in the attack on the Zhengtai Railway in the early stage was about 20 regiments, and the number of troops cooperating in the battle far exceeded this number. The scale of this battle is much larger than we previously expected! "
Commander-in-Chief Peng nodded and said: "The Zhengtai Railway is an important transportation lifeline for the Japanese army in North China. If the Zhengtai Railway is attacked, the Japanese army will inevitably counterattack from the east and west sides of Pinghan and Tongpu Road. In the later period, more troops will inevitably be invested to block enemy reinforcements. There is nothing we can do about it. But the current situation at home and abroad does not allow us to hesitate. Even if we know that we are chasing a duck, we still have to fight hard!"
"Fortunately, we are not fighting alone. The Sulu Theater of the National Army and Commander Li's troops are fighting the Japanese army again in Lunan. That old devil Tada Shun's main focus is on Lunan, and most of the elite troops have been transferred to Shandong. , even a large number of Shanxi garrison troops, including the 36th and 37th Divisions, have been transferred away. They have set up a good stage for us, and we have to sing this drama well!"
"Of course there is no problem with this. Now we are ready for everything. We don't even owe the east wind. We just wait for your order after nightfall and we will give the little devil a hard blow!" Chief of Staff Zuo said.
"Well, immediately send a report to the frontline ministries and order them to act according to the combat plan. There is no need to report to the headquarters. When the time comes, go into battle immediately. Don't delay the fighter!"
"Yes, I will notify them right away!"
"Go!"
