The situation in southern Shanxi took a turn for the worse, catching the entire first theater of war off guard!
Although the Japanese army has a strong front, in the eyes of the national army, the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line is not dregs and will be broken at a touch.
It should be noted that Zhongtiao Mountain faces the Yellow River on its back and runs across the southwestern part of Shanxi Province. It is connected to the vast Taihang Mountains to the east and the Weiwei Ji Mountain to the west. It is more than 300 miles long and more than 100 miles wide. It serves as a barrier between Henan and Shaanxi and protects the strategic location in the northwest.
Since the main force of the national army entered the area three years ago, it quickly divided Zhongtiao Mountain into three sections, east, west and middle, which were guarded by three group armies respectively.
In the four years from 1938 to early 1941, the Japanese army attacked Zhongtiao Mountain 13 times in an attempt to open up the defense line on the north bank of the Yellow River and invade to the south of the Yellow River.
But without exception, the Japanese army¡¯s 13 attacks were met with a disastrous defeat. Wei Lihuang once proudly called Zhongtiao Mountain China¡¯s ¡°Maginot Line of Defense.¡±
Before the war, Minister He of the Ministry of Military Affairs personally sent more troops to the Zhongtiao Mountain area and supervised more than 200,000 troops. He built a strong position based on the mountainous terrain of Zhongtiao Mountain and transformed the large Zhongtiao Mountain into a mountainous area. into a strong castle.
Although the leaders of the First War Zone were not sure of victory, and no one could guarantee that Zhongtiao Mountain would be defended, no one expected that they would be defeated so quickly and so miserably.
In just a few days, all the garrison units were defeated by the Japanese army one by one, divided and surrounded!
What they don¡¯t know is that the failure of the Warring States Army was not accidental, but inevitable.
Aside from the subjective factors of Wei Lihuang being placed under house arrest and the Fourth Army being transferred away, there were also many objective factors that led to the defeat in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.
First of all, there are huge loopholes in the defense system of Zhongtiao Mountain. Most of them are single-line defenses, lacking depth, and can easily be broken through by the Japanese army.
Soviet advisers criticized this and hoped that China would speed up the revision. The Commander-in-Chief of Wei personally reported this to Chongqing in 1939, but this issue was not dealt with in a timely manner until the outbreak of the war.
Then there is the supply of soldiers. The land in Zhongtiao Mountain is barren. The Japanese army also robbed and destroyed food, cotton and other materials, and carried out an economic blockade on the periphery, making the garrison in need of food and clothing.
In many cases, soldiers stationed on the front line have to carry their own food, and it takes more than two days for a round trip. When the weather is bad, it takes three or four days to make a round trip.
At the same time, soldiers have to transport food, grind flour, fetch water, and collect firewood themselves. Various chores occupy more than one-third of the soldiers. Due to supply difficulties, more and more soldiers were sick and deserting.
Food is a problem, housing is also a problem.
Frontline officers and soldiers live and eat without leaving the trenches. They dig a hole in the front of the trench, lay it with wheat straw, and then spread it with a military blanket. No matter how bad the weather is, this is their only shelter.
The climate in Zhongtiao Mountain is cold, and many soldiers have their hands and feet frozen.
??And wearing a set of cotton clothes day and night will cause lice all over the body. In this case, the soldiers' bodies were extremely weak and their combat effectiveness was extremely poor.
In addition to the above, the weapons and communication equipment of the Zhongtiao Mountain National Army are also seriously insufficient and of low quality.
In addition to the 14th Army defending Zhongtiao Mountain, the weapons of the 4th and 5th Army, which were most capable of fighting, were also in tatters.
The most important thing is that they underestimated the Japanese army's combat effectiveness and determination to capture Zhongtiao Mountain!
In fact, the Japanese army was fully prepared before the battle began!
In order to seize Zhongtiao Mountain, they even conducted many exercises.
In addition to the complete concentration of air and ground strike forces, the Japanese army also created the illusion of crossing the river to confuse the national army before launching the attack. At the same time, it sent a large number of spies and aircraft to conduct reconnaissance of the national army positions.
During the battle, paratroopers were also airborne near the national army command post to wait for the situation.
In order to clarify the troop deployment, military traffic, crossing points and river crossing equipment of the 1st Theater in Zhongtiao Mountain, Wangwu Mountain and other places north of the Yellow River, from Pinglu eastward to both sides of the Yellow River in Wen County, the Japanese reconnaissance at Yuncheng and Xinxiang Airports The aircraft unit conducted many visual reconnaissance and aerial photography.
They judged the number of garrison troops by the number of playgrounds of each unit in the 1st theater of operations near towns and villages.
Through reconnaissance and the lack of strong defense zones and bridgeheads around the crossing points on the north bank of the Yellow River, it was determined that when the campaign was launched, each force would send powerful troops from Pinglu to the east and from Wenxian to the west to launch a rapid attack along the north bank to block the Yellow River to cut off The defenders retreated to the south bank and prevented reinforcements from the south bank troops.
Determine the roundabout attack route based on the solid fortification of each mountain pass. Based on the construction of the defender's first line of defensive positions, select each brigade and regiment.The breakthrough point of attack and so on.
Since the enemy conducted a relatively systematic aerial reconnaissance before attacking, the formulation and specific preparation of the combat plan were more clearly targeted.
At the same time, after the battle began, the command system of the national army was quickly destroyed by spies lurking in, resulting in a situation where the national army did not have unified command and fought independently.
Within four days after the battle began, the Chinese army never formed effective resistance. It was divided and surrounded by the Japanese army in the mountainous area, and was finally defeated one by one.
According to news coming back from the front line, enemy planes flew over Zhongtiao Mountain in groups to drop bombs. The ground troops, supported by a large number of tanks, tanks and cavalry, rushed toward the defenders' positions like a tide, and quickly broke through the forward positions. , dividing and surrounding the defenders.
At the same time, a large number of Japanese troops detoured to the bank of the Yellow River behind Zhongtiao Mountain and occupied the Yellow River ferries in Pinglu and other places, cutting off the retreat route of the Zhongtiao Mountain defenders.
Every section of Zhongtiao Mountain is full of blood. The defenders in Wenxi, Xiaxian, Sijiaohe, Zhangdian Town and other places have been divided and surrounded by the Japanese army and are fighting alone.
The only good thing at present is that although the war situation is unstable, the soldiers on the front line still have not lost hope, nor have they been defeated.
The battle on the front line was still very fierce. Although the casualty ratio was 20:1, the soldiers of the national army still killed the enemy tenaciously and their momentum continued unabated.
In fact, before this, Chairman Chiang had personally inspected the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain and convened senior generals for lectures.
At that time, the generals of the group armies in Zhongtiao Mountain swore to defend Zhongtiao Mountain to the death. The officers of the various armies were passionate and made a sonorous oath one after another: to perform their duties faithfully, and to live and die with Zhongtiao Mountain.
That¡¯s what they said, and that¡¯s exactly what they did!
However, grief and indignation cannot narrow the gap between the two sides. The situation in Zhongtiao Mountain is getting worse and worse. Faced with such rapid changes, the First Theater Command is at a loss what to do, and the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous.
However, just when the commander of the First War Zone was at a loss, Li Guoyao's troops in the Taihang Mountains of southern Hebei were already well prepared and ready to go south to rescue the situation!
But just before the troops set off, Li Guoyao suddenly received a top-secret telegram. After reading this mysterious telegram, Li Guoyao was instantly elated and almost crazy!
The telegram was sent by my younger daughter-in-law Yun Lisa. It said a lot, but there was only one core content - she gave birth!
That¡¯s right, I gave birth and Li Guoyao became a father!
This news is a real surprise for Li Guoyao. It is like nectar falling from the sky, and he is overjoyed!
It has been almost four years since I came to this era, and I have slept with my little wife not once or twice, but the girl¡¯s stomach has never responded.
So Li Guoyao has always wondered whether he would be like what Master Huang wrote in "Xun Qin Ji", and he would never be able to have children of his own in his life.
Although he doesn¡¯t particularly care about this now, he still feels a little regretful and even a little worried every time he thinks about it.
However, happiness came so suddenly, even when Li Guoyao didn't know she was pregnant, she gave birth to a big fat boy.
Li Guoyao secretly calculated the time, and she should have been pregnant when Lisa Yun came to North China in July last year. However, in order not to worry herself, the girl did not reveal any news to herself.
She may have felt that she had not done anything during this period, and the child was also born, so she told the truth. Little did she know that she was now preparing to go on an expedition!
And being able to know the news that he is going to be a father before going off to war is undoubtedly the best news and the best omen!
At that moment, Li Guoyao told Xu Hu, Ma Desheng, Zhang Tengjiao, Xie Baojun, Zhang Shaolin and others the good news and asked them to fight hard. He wanted to celebrate his promotion as a father with a big victory in this battle, and at the same time, it was also a gift to his family. A birth gift for my son!
