While the Japanese army was busy dispatching troops and investigating the whereabouts of the food, the protagonist of this incident, Li Guoyao, had already gone all the way north and headed straight to Cha'nan.
¡°However, Li Guoyao did not send all the troops to Sumu Mountain. Firstly, it was unnecessary and secondly, it was unrealistic.
"It's not necessary because Sumu Mountain is just a mountainous area after all, and it is vast and sparsely populated. There are only two small counties nearby. If you really want to attack those two small counties, you don't need so many troops. One regiment is enough.
You must know that the number of garrison troops in those two counties is only one infantry squadron. Yes, there are only more than 100 garrison troops in each county, so there is no need for Li Guoyao to go to war.
Moreover, Li Guoyao's goal is not just a few counties near Sumu Mountain. He wants the entire southern Chanan, northern Shanxi, and northern Hebei. The entire area includes Zhangjiakou, Datong, Yangyuan, and Yu County, so there is really no need to move all the counties. All the troops were transferred to Sumu Mountain.
"It's unrealistic because there are thousands of mules, horses, and donkeys in their army. Carrying so many animals across the mountainous area is not an easy task in itself."
And when we reach the Tianzhen line, the Pingsui Railway crosses the territory, and the Japanese will continue to send armored patrol cars to patrol the railway lines even at night.
Thinking about carrying so many livestock across the railway line, the possibility of not being discovered is almost zero!
So when the troops arrived at the front line of Yangyuan, Li Guoyao left the Second Regiment of the Independent Brigade and 1,500 relatively weak miner troops there, and gave them three months of rations to allow them to develop locally.
When the troops arrived at the front line of Tianzhen, Li Guoyao also left a regiment of troops and about 300,000 kilograms of grain. At the same time, he also sent a regiment of miners and a battalion of the main force to Yanggao County, west of Tianzhen.
In addition, Li Guoyao sent 800 cavalry and a small number of technical troops to Huai'an County, northeast of Tianzhen, and also brought them 50,000 kilograms of grain and 500 miners.
So when Li Guoyao arrived at Sumu Mountain at the end of October, he only had 2,000 technical soldiers and 1,000 miners left with him, as well as 3,000 mules and horses and more than 1.2 million kilograms of grain.
Along the way, like an old hen that lost its eggs, Li Guoyao dispersed 80% of the main troops around him to various places, and also kept 60% of the supplies seized from Laiyuan City.
But he knows that what he sows is hope, and what he reaps will be a more glorious victory!
When Li Guoyao arrived at Sumu Mountain, he was warmly welcomed by Lu Dashan, Chen Jianzhong, Gu Mingtang and others!
After the reception banquet, Li Guoyao held the first officer meeting at the temporary headquarters after the unit went north!
In addition to Li Guoyao, Ma Desheng and several senior officers from the military department, officers affiliated with the cavalry group and independent brigade level and above also attended the meeting.
In the village built of wood, Li Guoyao sat on the main seat with a large enamel jar beside him.
Ma Desheng is next to Li Guoyao, with Lu Dashan, Chen Jianzhong, Gu Mingtang, Wu Yunqi Qige, Chow Da Fook, Hou Zhankui, Zhang Xishun on the left, and Zhang Shaolin, Xu Ziyu, Wu Dajun, Chen Dafei, Liu Zhiming, Lei Erhu and others on the right.
Seeing that they were all acquaintances, Li Guoyao nodded and said, "Except for a few groups that went their separate ways, most of the people are here, so let's get started!"
Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, everyone straightened their backs, pricked up their ears, and looked solemn!
"Let the chief of staff tell you about the situation of my northbound detachment, and then each department will report on the combat situation during this period!" Li Guoyao said.
After hearing Li Guoyao's roll call, Ma Desheng immediately stood up and said: "Brothers, our troops will move north from south Hebei in early October. At that time, the troops were originally planned to include the 177th Division, the Cavalry Group, the Independent Brigade, and a large number of technical arms from the headquarters. Among them, the Cavalry Regiment, The artillery regiment, fire support regiment, engineering regiment, and transportation regiment are all included in the sequence heading north."
"However, due to the news that the Japanese army might launch a campaign in southern Hebei, the military headquarters temporarily decided to keep the 177th Division in southern Hebei. In addition, two-thirds of the military's technical arms were also retained. Therefore, only the troops heading north this time were The total strength of the cavalry group, independent brigade and some units directly under the military headquarters is 18,420."
"In the process of heading north, our unit first fought a raid on the Zhengtai Line to support the Eighth Route Army in the Nangong area. In that battle, we captured all the Japanese and puppet army strongholds between Niangziguan and Jingxing County, and They captured Jingxing Coal Mine and Pingshan County, killed more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops, seized a large amount of weapons, equipment and combat supplies, and rescued more than 4,000 mine workers.??Brother! "
"In addition, a few days ago we also fought the Battle of Linglai under the command of the military seat. In this battle, our troops annihilated more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops, and killed Major General Inamura, the leader of the Japanese Laiyuan Security Brigade. We also seized long and short guns. More than two thousand, more than thirty light and heavy machine guns, and several mortars, grenades, radios and other military equipment."
"What's more important is that we solved the food problem for the troops for the winter, and directly seized nearly 2.8 million kilograms of food. We also suppressed traitors and carried out other forms of anti-Japanese propaganda, which frightened the pro-Japanese elements in the region and inspired them. The anti-Japanese situation in Laiyuan area."
As soon as he finished speaking, the temporary headquarters burst into warm applause that lasted for a long time!
Li Guoyao immediately stood up and said: "The results are beyond doubt. We did not invest many troops in these two battles, but the results were not small! The most important thing is that our department's casualties were limited, so this will be our department's future battle in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province." The main method of regional combat, so the details of these two battles need to be studied carefully after you go back!"
"yes!"
Everyone said in unison!
"Let's talk about the situation of each department. Needless to say, the independent brigade. You have always been with the military department. The battles mentioned by the chief of staff just now were basically fought by you. There is no need to go into details. Let¡¯s talk about the situation of the cavalry group during this period!¡± Li Guoyao said.
Lu Dashan immediately stood up and said: "Commander, colleagues and brothers: Our cavalry group was ordered to clear the way for the entire army. On October 10, we headed north. During this period, our troops stayed day and night, and crossed the Pingsui Railway on October 16. , Entering the border of Chanan."
"After entering Chanan, our department did not rush into action. Instead, we sent a cavalry detachment to conduct a careful investigation of the Sumu Mountain area. After investigation, it was found that there were no Japanese and puppet garrison or strongholds in the entire Sumu Mountain area. This area was completely occupied. A dozen bandits control the village.¡±
"Then our department spent another three days investigating the nearby bandit villages and found that there were at least 18 bandit armed groups in an area of ??more than 30 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide. There are eight Heifeng strongholds with the largest bandit power. There are more than a hundred people, and the least is more than two hundred people. The total number of bandits in Sumu Mountain is almost four thousand."
"After discussion, our department decided to dispatch all troops and conduct a planned raid on all the bandits in the Sumu Mountain area at the same time to completely control the entire Sumu Mountain area. On the night of October 18, the main force of our three regiments plus a large number of The technical arms launched a simultaneous attack on 29 cottages occupied by 18 groups of bandits in the Sumushan area!"
"In that battle, our unit fought bloody battles for seven hours and wiped out all the bandits in the area. We killed more than 600 bandits and captured more than 2,200 people. Except for a small number of bandits who took advantage of the familiar terrain to escape into the mountains and forests, all the bandits were killed. No one in the bandit camp was spared, they were all annihilated"
Before he finished speaking, Li Guoyao asked immediately: "Now that your army has completely controlled these bandit villages, have you issued the banner of the Eighth Route Army or our temporary Ninth Army?"
"The copycats have taken control, but they have not raised their banners. The humble position still allows the brothers to carry out activities in the name of each copycat."
"What did you do with those bandits in the end?"
"There is nothing to deal with yet. We just sent people to the villages below to understand some of the situation. The specific details will have to wait for your order from the commander-in-chief!"
Li Guoyao nodded and said: "You have handled it very well. Try not to reveal your identity before you understand the specific situation."
Then Li Guoyao said to Xu Ziyu on the side: "Ziyu, those bandits will be handed over to your Special Service Group 6. Find out their true reputation among the local people as soon as possible. All the bloody bandits will be executed, and those who can still be saved will be killed." Those miner brothers will be organized into the new army camp for training, and those who are qualified will be incorporated into the field army!"
"yes!"
Afterwards, Li Guoyao looked around and said: "Now, I will tell you about our future development strategy!"
