Chapter 1462: The east side does not move, the west side does not move (Part 1)(1/2)
The heavily guarded Jiangxia City has been searching for nearly a month, and almost dug three feet into the entire Jiangxia City, but the main owner was not found.
Even Hengshan Yong was desperate and could only report the results of the two spies seized and several destroyed military intelligence stations to the dispatching army headquarters.
As for whether the Expeditionary Army Command believes that the alive "onion" were the murderers who assassinated Tanabe Moetake and Fujii Yokoi, then it doesn't matter to Yokoyama.
On the Chinese side, the 70th Army was implicated because the major general of the 33rd Brigade of Independent 33rd Brigade was colluded with the enemy. The commander and division commander were transferred back to the mountain city to report their duties, and they did not return from the mountain city until two months later.
The 70th Army was also transferred from the Fifth War Zone and was assigned to the First War Zone in September of that year.
However, the First War Zone did not receive any supplements, and the total force changed from 250,000 to 220,000.
However, everything was normal on the Four Army Corps, as if the storm that occurred on June 21 had no effect on them. The only difference was that the Military Control Commission had more strict monitoring of the surrounding areas of the Four Army Corps.
Only a few people could see clearly that the secret attack on Tang Dao on June 11 led by the Japanese army led and launched, ultimately resulting in a four-lose situation.
The Japanese side lost more than 200 elite soldiers trained and theoretical and practical experts in special operations. In addition, they also took two high-ranking and powerful generals to take the heavy city of Central China, Jiangxia, and it was a mess for more than a month, resulting in many combat plans being delayed or even terminated.
It was the player who lost the worst on this 'mahjong table' and almost lost even his shorts.
In the mountain city, an infantry army of the Central Army was driven out of the Fifth War Zone, and its control over the Fifth War Zone was further weakened. General Li's control over the entire war zone was greatly strengthened. This was obviously not the result that he wanted to see.
In fact, the fifth war zone did not lose any advantage. An elite infantry army was transferred away, but there was no new force to supplement it. If the 11th Army had made every effort to attack western Hubei, the fifth war zone would probably have to retreat to the mountainous areas to defend.
And what about the Four-Line Group? In fact, it has not become the ultimate winner.
From June to December 1941, the Japanese army conducted two attacks on the Fifth War Zone, but the infantry regiment directly under the Battle Zone Command was always placed in the Battle Zone Reserve.
In other words, the four-line group was idle.
It was not until a long time later that Tang Dao wanted to lead his troops to leave the Fifth War Zone. At the private banquet where the General Li surnamed saw Tang Dao off, this person told the real reason.
In mid-July 1941, while the general surnamed Li returned to Shancheng to attend the military meeting, the man personally talked to the general surnamed Li.
Although it is not so clear, its subtext is very simple. If the Fifth War Zone reuses the Four Lines Group, the little Zhuge from the Guangxi clan will leave from the position of deputy chief to serve as the commander of the Tenth War Zone.
Although the Deputy Chief is a deputy, he can make national strategic decisions and is one of the top members of the Military Commission.
The commander of the Tenth War Zone seemed to be in charge of the defense of Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, and had more than 200,000 troops under his command, but compared with the deputy general manager, his authority was more than a little less.
In order to maintain the status of the Guangxi clan, the general surnamed Li could only surrender and put the extremely powerful four-line group on the shelf.
Faced with this result, Tang Dao could only smile bitterly.
In fact, after finally finding out the enemy's major general hidden in the 70th Army, the four members of the Four Army Regiment also had disputes at the meeting on how to deal with this matter.
Ye Chenghuan and Zhuang Shisan felt that Tang Dao's bloody revenge was too radical, and if one was not good, the whole group would be doomed.
But Leng Feng stood firmly on Tang Dao's side. He believed that if he didn't even take revenge from his brothers, he would be a lie to his brothers. In the future, the cohesion within the Four-Enterprise Group will be greatly reduced. It would be impossible for the Four-Enterprise Group to maintain the combat power that it used to be.
It’s still the Tang Dao’s final result.
What he considered was not only the unity within the Four-Round Group, but more from the external pressure like the mountain city.
Tang Dao knew very well that blindly giving in will never settle things, but more of it would only make the opponent more difficult.
If he does not show the sharpest sword to draw the bottom line for his opponent, the opponent will frequently test it, and sooner or later, he will transfer him from the Four-Levels Group in the form of military orders, further disintegrate the Four-Levels Group, and finally send the troops of the Four-Levels Group that have been completely disintegrated to the most dangerous battlefield.
Perhaps in less than a year or two, all these officers and soldiers who fought for the country will become part of the huge number of casualties.
Tang Dao actually tried his best to restrain himself. He only chose to kill the merchant and the brigade commander of the 33rd Independent Brigade who was actually involved in the Japanese secret attack.
If it were not for the escalation of the situation, the 70th Army would have at least two senior generals and all those who did not report the information from the Military Control Commission would be on the death list.
But that man finally made his choice!
"I have always had a question. What would you do if the Military Control Commission insisted on taking Leng Feng away that night?" At the end of the banquet, the general surnamed Li suddenly asked.
"They can't take them away!" Tang Dao grinned slightly.
The general surnamed Li was slightly stunned, took a deep breath and asked again, "Why do you trust me so much?"
That day, when he received news that the major general brigade commander of the 33rd Independent Brigade was attacked and died. After the major general inspector of the Military Control Commission came to inform him in person, he had experienced countless storms and waves and felt that Tang Dao was going crazy.
Although the world is in chaos and many people use shameful measures to solve problems in private, those on the table are at least fake and obedient to the rules.
Tang Dao did this like a man in the world. If you kill me, I will definitely have to kill you back.
He could endure this because Tang Dao and the Sixing Group were good at fighting, but the one from Shancheng would never endure it.
The general surnamed Li even made the decision to give up the Four Lines Group at that moment.
But Tang Dao sent him a telegram: "Please give me 2 hours!"
Thinking of the energetic young army colonel he met in Xuzhou in the past, the general surnamed Li pondered for a moment and finally called the Chief of Staff of the War Zone.
Without rushing to anything else, he would fight against the great military achievements that Tang Dao has made over the years. In the past two hours, he gave it to him.
As a result, two hours later, the military commander actually received a telegram from the mountain city and withdrew.
However, he still couldn't understand that he and Tang Dao actually did not have much deep friendship, and Tang Dao belonged to the Sichuan Army. At the most critical moment, he would never stand on his Guangxi clan, and there was no problem of winning over his faction. Why did Tang Dao conclude that he could give him two hours?
"Although you are a politician, you are not a pure politician. From the bottom of your heart, you are a real Chinese." Tang Dao looked at the old man who had been wandering overseas for ten years but finally chose to return to his hometown, and gave a specious answer.
In the eyes of politicians, only interests, and only Chinese people will take the military achievements of Japan's war to heart.
The General Li's eyes flashed and looked at Tang Dao, who had not given a clear answer.
From this point of view, the two are actually the same person.
However, this did not affect the factional interests, the general surnamed Li chose to give up Tang Dao and the Four-League Group.
Because of the different positions and heights of the station, each person bears different responsibilities. Tang Dao had thousands of officers and soldiers of the Four Corps of the Army followed him, and the general surnamed Li also had more than 100,000 troops of the Guangxi clan advance and retreat with him.
All the elderly and the young understand this very well, so they can be open and honest and not avoid these things.
The Four-Road Group was artificially idle and could only train at the garrison, but the Hebei-South Guard Group, far away in North China, has been booming in the past six months.
Although he was wearing a robe with the Sixing Group, Lei Xiong, the commander of the security team, was a serious imperial guard. He suppressed a group of people and attracted a group of people. This is a common method of checks and balances used by political experts.
The Four Army Corps suppressed the situation, and the security Corps naturally used the means of winning over. In addition to administrative affairs, Chief Wang of the Hebei Administrative Office basically did not care about military power, and all of them were left to Lei Xiong alone.
In mid-July 1941, the Japanese North China Front Army finally began to solve the disaster that lies across the Yellow River. It mobilized nearly 200,000 troops of seven divisions to attack the Zhongtiaoshan Chinese defense zone.
In addition to the fourth and fifth two armies stationed in China, the defense line was not broken because Tang Dao issued several warnings to him, and the other two armies were broken by the Japanese army within a week, and tens of thousands of troops were dispersed or captured by the Japanese army. The originally connected Zhongtiao Mountain defense line was cut into three sections by the Japanese army.
Even the two armies who were still defending the defense line were in a state of turmoil. Even Commander Zhao of the 38th Army began to consider the plan to retreat to Wangwushan.
Once a battle of this level is surrounded, it is not as simple as eight thousand casualties on the Wulu Ridge, but the life and death of nearly 30,000 people in two infantry divisions and an independent brigade.
Huxian has already hung white silks in every family, and he can no longer watch the same thing happen again in that small county town.
The battle situation was extremely bad, and even the commander named Wei who flew from the mountain city to the war zone felt powerless to turn the world around.
Just when the remaining 160,000 troops in China were in a state of fluctuation, an army was sent from Wangwushan, abandoning the Japanese front-line troops close to 20 miles and heading straight for Yuncheng.
It was a light unit carrying only small caliber artillery. Although the officers and soldiers wore camouflage hats made of branches, they were wearing gray military uniforms and should belong to the first part of the Eighty Army.
Lieutenant General Anda, the commander of the Japanese front line, did not take this team of thousands of people running towards his logistics base. While telegramming the Yuncheng garrison to guard the city, he also ordered an infantry corps to pursue the unit.
A Chinese army that is the infantry brigade, sending an infantry corps to deal with them is already the greatest respect for the new chief of staff of the North China Front Army.
Then, the infantry corps was killed by its own chief of staff.
The Chinese army running to Yuncheng came to an ambush on the spot for more than 3,000 Japanese troops who were chasing themselves, but also told the Japanese with raindrop mortars, who said that small-caliber artillery was light-mounted?
How come a pack horse can carry a 150-caliber mortar running around with your 75-caliber mortar?
When the shameless Lei Xiong entered the Wangwu Mountain battlefield a week ago, he ordered all the soldiers to dress up in the uniforms of the 80th Army. In order to confuse the audio-visual of the Japanese spies, he even stole the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade.
This time, the entire regiment dispatched and transferred most of the security regiments of the guard battalion of the former Four Regiment garrison, but had more than 6,000 troops. In terms of equipment and personnel combat effectiveness, they were all the bosses of the ordinary Japanese infantry corps. The force was twice as strong as it was. The Japanese infantry corps that were caught off guard were beaten so badly.
In just half a day, the colonel captain of the infantry corps had to send a broken telegram, directly shocking Lieutenant General Anda, who was still busy commanding the decisive battle with the Chinese army, was so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground.
If the reconnaissance plane had not confirmed that the Chinese army that was flying moths into the flames would not have exceeded 5,000, he even thought that a Chinese infantry army appeared behind him, otherwise who would have encircled and annihilated an infantry corps in less than 4 hours?
"Baga! Let the Independent Mixed 2nd Brigade go to pursue the invading enemy, and be sure to kill them all!" Lieutenant General Anda relied on his many soldiers and widened his troops again.
If an infantry corps cannot do it, then another one will be there!
An independent mixed brigade has two infantry corpses, independent cavalry corps and artillery corpses, engineer corpses, and a total force of nearly 8,000 people.
It’s okay for Chinese people to designate!
This thinking is actually nothing wrong. No matter how strong the security regiment is, it may be a bit difficult to face the attack of an independent mixed brigade.
Now, after receiving the news that a mixed brigade was chasing fiercely, Lei Xiong immediately ordered the entire army to continue moving towards Yuncheng with all their might.
However, after approaching Yuncheng, he ignored the Japanese logistics base, which was close to him, and the entire army turned a corner 15 miles away from Yuncheng and ran towards Linfen.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! This is the rhythm of running!
The Japanese army watched a Chinese army that defeated its own infantry regiment run away in a dignified manner? Under the guidance of the reconnaissance plane, the 8,000 Japanese army also sacrificed their lives to run wildly.
He swung his two short legs, but he ran out a momentum that was as angry as a tiger. If the momentum could determine whether the battlefield was victorious or not, then the independent 2nd Brigade would win.
As expected, on the third day, they caught up with the Chinese army that was still fleeing north. If the assistance of an infantry corps stationed in Linfen was added, they would completely wipe out the Chinese light-equipped troops, holding hands.
The commander of the 2nd Brigade of Independent Mixed Brigade sent a tactical guidance telegram to Anda Twenty-three.
Anda Twenty-Three started with a little hesitation. Linfen is the second largest city in Jin Province, and its geographical location is extremely important. Although it is not suitable for a logistics base because it is too far away from Zhongtiao Mountain, it is an important material transit base and the command center of the southeastern battlefield of Shanxi.
Since the front line urgently needs troops, Linfen had only one infantry regiment stationed at this time, which was already very weak. If reinforcements were sent to support the 2nd Mixed Brigade, wouldn’t there be only a thousand people in the city to defend?
But in the end, considering that it is in a decisive battle with the main force of Zhongtiao Mountain in China, all the main forces in China's Second War Zone were restrained, and the main forces of the 80th Army were also active in southern Hebei, northern Hebei and Shandong. In the incident in the first half of the year, it was almost impossible to support the belongings of Shancheng, which could threaten Linfen.
