Four hundred and fiftieth chapters retaliatory sweep
Throughout the night, Liu Gen and others were on their way, and the Japanese's revenge was crazy.
Judging from the battle between the Eighth Route Army troops and the Japs on the front line, the Japs moved very quickly, and their marching speed was not greatly affected. In order to reach the Chenjiayu area in the shortest possible time, the Japs would decisively separate when dealing with the obstruction of the Eighth Route Army troops.
Deploy some of your troops to respond, while the rest continue to advance rapidly.
In this regard, the various units of the Eighth Route Army did not have any good solutions. The Japanese chose to divide their forces because the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army units was limited. Even if they divided their forces, the remaining units could last long enough. These remaining units could resist the Eighth Route Army's blockade.
If the Japs really stick to their position, without enough heavy firepower, it will be difficult to pose much of a threat to them.
Fortunately, there are enough Eighth Route Army troops on the front line, which can delay the Japanese for enough time. Otherwise, with the marching speed of the Japanese, they may have reached the Chenjiayu area long ago. By then, Liu Gen and others will be able to easily complete the transfer.
It became impossible, and it was nothing if the Japanese agents failed in many operations, but the destruction of the battlefield observation group forced the Japanese to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army troops.
When the news that the battlefield observation group was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army troops reached the North China Front Army Headquarters, Commander Okamura Neiji immediately issued an order to the First Army in Shanxi, ordering them to launch retaliatory actions against the Eighth Route Army base areas to provide relief for the wiped out battlefields.
The observation group takes revenge!
The commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, paid special attention to this. He knew that he needed to give an explanation to the North China Front Army Headquarters. Only in this way could the shame of the First Army be washed away. The battlefield observation group appeared after arriving at the First Army.
The problem is that they were killed by the Eighth Route Army troops, which undoubtedly shows that the First Army's protection of the battlefield observation group was not strong enough.
Otherwise, with the strength of the First Army, how could it not be able to protect the battlefield observation group?
What happened to the First Army, how could Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the First Army, continue to be relaxed? In Taiyuan, Shanxi, at the headquarters of the Japanese First Army, orders from Yoshio Iwamatsu were constantly issued from here.
The Japanese troops took action one after another. They mobilized a certain amount of troops and once again launched a raid on the anti-Japanese base areas.
In the early morning, after Liu Gen and others found a hidden place to rest, they learned from the telegram sent by the division headquarters that the Japanese had launched a revenge operation. The division headquarters ordered the independent regiment, under the leadership of Li Yunlong, to prepare for the Japanese raids. At the same time,
Liu Gen was ordered to return to the division headquarters as soon as possible, and the Japanese raids began again. At this juncture, it would be safest for Liu Gen to stay at the division headquarters.
After seeing the news that he was ordered to return to the division headquarters, Liu Gen was not too surprised. He had long expected that such a thing would happen. With the level of attention Liu Gen received, at this time, he really could not continue to stay in the independent army.
The independent regiment has good combat effectiveness, but the independent regiment also has its own things to do. Naturally, it cannot do much to protect Liu Gen.
But returning to the division headquarters is different. Since the 129th Division Division Headquarters and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters work together, the defense force there is very sufficient. Moreover, the division headquarters also has enough experience in dealing with Japanese raids, so there will be no security problems easily.
.But compared to returning to the division headquarters, Liu Gen still prefers to stay in the independent regiment. With Li Yunlong's character, staying in the independent regiment will definitely not miss battles!
"Genzi, you boy should go back to the division headquarters as soon as possible, so that the division commanders and bosses can relax." Li Yunlong put down the telegram in his hand and said seriously to Liu Gen.
Li Yunlong has experienced many Japanese raids. Naturally, he has his own experience in dealing with Japanese raids. But even so, this time he has no intention of keeping Liu Gen in the independent group. Li Yunlong knows that Liu Gen
He knew that letting Liu Gen stay in an independent group would completely limit Liu Gen's performance. With Liu Gen's ability, he needed a bigger stage.
It was good to successfully kill the Japanese battlefield observation group this time. There was also a Japanese major general among them, but the choice to kill the Japanese battlefield observation group made the Japanese raids on the base area this time particularly cruel. Li Yunlong could predict that in
How could the Japanese give up if they killed the Japanese battlefield observation group under their noses?
Thinking of having to face the crazy revenge of the Japs this time, Li Yunlong had a headache. If Liu Gen was left in the independent regiment, he would not be confident enough to protect Liu Gen's safety. It is precisely because of this that Li Yunlong would not hesitate.
He hesitated to let Liu Gen return to the division headquarters. Talents like Liu Gen could not die easily on the battlefield.
Maybe Liu Gen will die on the battlefield one day, but it will definitely be after Li Yunlong and others have died before he can die on the battlefield. Anyone who has seen Liu Gen within the Eighth Route Army knows clearly
One thing is that Liu Gen cannot have any problems and needs to be adequately protected.
"Captain, are you driving me away? This is not your style." Liu Gen looked at Li Yunlong and couldn't help but say.
Li Yunlong laughed, a trace of reluctance quickly flashed in his eyes. "Damn it! You are so cowardly now! How dare you even tease me?"
"Well, I still have a lot of things to do in my independent group. It will be very busy during this period, so I won't keep you kid. I will ask the monk to bring a few comrades to send you back to the division headquarters. Don't refuse, yes
Your safety is taken very seriously by the teachers and bosses, and no problems can arise."
"Genzi, you don't want me to be punished, right?"
Liu Gen was a little helpless. Everything he could say was spoken by Li Yunlong. What else could he say? In the end, Liu Gen could only smile bitterly and nod, indicating that he understood and had no intention of refusing.
"Then I'll go say goodbye to the political commissar." Liu Gen said.
Li Yunlong nodded. Naturally, he had no objection. Watching Liu Gen go to find Zhao Gang, he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart. Damn it, he and Liu Gen finally met each other, and now they have to separate again. But there is no way.
Who makes them all soldiers? It is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders, and Li Yunlong also knows this.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Gang, Liu Gen, Monk and others left the independent regiment directly and rushed towards the transferred location of the division headquarters.
It was not until noon that Chu Yunfei woke up and found that Liu Gen was missing. After asking Li Yunlong, he learned that Liu Gen had rushed back to the division headquarters. Only then did Chu Yunfei truly realize that the Eighth Route Army
Chu Yunfei could understand why Liu Gen needed to return to the division headquarters without asking for the specific reasons for attaching great importance to Liu Gen.
The Japs are about to launch a retaliatory action against the Eighth Route Army, which means that all frontline units have the possibility of fighting with the Japs. The independent regiment's combat effectiveness is very strong, but it is still not sure enough to ensure Liu Gen's safety.
Knowing that the Japs' revenge was about to begin, Chu Yunfei no longer had the idea of staying in the Independent Regiment. At this juncture, he needed to return to the 358th Regiment. No one knew what the Japs were going to do, and Chu Yunfei also
I want to return to the 358th Regiment to see if there is a chance to fight.
As for whether the 358th Regiment's attack on the Japanese would attract the attention of the Japanese, Chu Yunfei did not care about this. As a soldier, if he gave up attacking the Japanese because he was worried about receiving the enemy's attention, then there would be no need to be a soldier.
After bidding farewell to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, Chu Yunfei and others left the independent regiment directly. They needed to join the other Shanxi-Sui Army officers in the exchange group before returning to their respective units. Chu Yunfei believed
, other people in the exchange group probably have no intention of continuing to communicate with the Eighth Route Army at this moment.
The Japanese launched a raid on the Eighth Route Army's base areas. No one knew whether the Eighth Route Army could successfully defend it. It was good that no problems occurred, but if problems occurred, their exchange group would be in a lot of danger.
When Chu Yunfei and others returned to the exchange group, they found that the officers in the exchange group had stern expressions. After seeing Chu Yunfei and others returning to the group, they immediately chose to set off. If not for waiting for Chu Yunfei
Waiting for others, then the officers in these exchange groups have already chosen to leave.
Compared with staying in the Eighth Route Army, these officers of the Jinsui Army still prefer to stay in their own troops. Even though their troops may not be able to compare with the Eighth Route Army in terms of combat effectiveness, they still want to leave.
Naturally, the Eighth Route Army did not obstruct the departure of the Jinsui Army exchange group. After sending a company of soldiers to protect them from leaving the base area, the Eighth Route Army turned its attention to the menacing Japanese troops.
Under the order of Yoshio Iwamatsu, all units of the Japanese First Army mobilized a certain amount of troops and launched a retaliatory encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army base area. From the marching speed of these Japanese troops, it can be seen that the Japanese are menacing. This time the Japanese
The troops are crazy.
Considering this situation, the Eighth Route Army headquarters ordered all units of the Eighth Route Army to focus on blocking the Japs with small units and not to have too many entanglements with the Japs. Among them, the Eighth Route Army's main focus should be on transferring the masses in the base area, as the Japs are very murderous.
, if the masses are not transferred, then the masses will be exposed to the devil's butcher's knife.
It is with this in mind that the bosses order all units to pay attention to the safety of the people in the base areas, pay attention to the protection of the people, and minimize the losses of the people.
After receiving the order from the headquarters, all units of the Eighth Route Army took action quickly. They moved the people in the base area as quickly as possible. Except for some old people who were unwilling to move, most of the people in the base area were moved.
The day after the mass transfer work began, the Japanese First Army assembled troops to launch a retaliatory raid on the anti-Japanese base areas. This time the Japanese mainly focused on destruction. They also knew that it would be difficult to find traces of the Eighth Route Army troops, so they
I chose destruction, wanton destruction.
Villages were burned, farmland was trampled, corpses were thrown into wells, and every village the Japanese troops passed through was turned into scorched earth.
After the bosses learned about the crazy destruction of the Japanese troops in the base area, they were extremely angry. They continuously mobilized the forces of various troops to launch counterattacks against the weak Japanese mopping up troops. At the same time, they ordered the troops to remove the weak Japanese strongholds.
On weekdays, the strongholds defended by the Japanese were well-manned, and the Japanese knew the methods of the Eighth Route Army and kept leaving their strongholds too far easily. But this time Yoshio Iwamatsu mobilized troops to carry out retaliatory raids against the Japanese base areas, and mobilized many troops from various units of the First Army.
The troop strength caused the Japanese troops to defend their strongholds to become insufficient.
Under the flexible command of the bosses, the Japanese strongholds in the anti-Japanese base areas were continuously eliminated, forcing the Japanese to give up the raids on the anti-Japanese base areas and deploy troops to defend each stronghold.
It's just that even though the Eighth Route Army units achieved good results under the command of their bosses, the Japanese's retaliatory raids in the anti-Japanese base areas still caused considerable damage to the base areas, especially the farmland trampled by the Japanese, which would inevitably have a negative impact on the base areas.
The impact on grain production will certainly be considerable.
In March, the anti-Japanese base area returned to calm after the last Japanese mopping up force withdrew. However, the trauma suffered by the people in the base area did not know when it would be restored. I am afraid that the only way to kill the Japanese who dared to wreak havoc in the base area was to kill them.
Only through light can we relieve the hatred of the people in the base area!
At the Huangyadong Arsenal, Liu Genzheng was directing the employees of the arsenal to move the lathes. The bosses decided to split the Huangyadong Arsenal to ensure that the production work of the arsenal would not be greatly affected.
In order to ensure the safety of the arsenal to the greatest extent, the Huangyadong Arsenal will be divided into three parts. Considering that the location of Huangyadong has been discovered by the Japanese, it is not too important to place it in the production part of the Huangyadong Arsenal to avoid
The Japanese troops went to Huangyadong Arsenal again to raid.
Among them, the artillery department of the arsenal also needs to evacuate Huangyadong and go to a more hidden area for production. This means that Liu Gen may not have many opportunities to return to Huangyadong in the future.
Looking at the busy workers of the military factory, Liu Gen felt a little depressed. It would be difficult to join Director Xu and the others in the future.
After returning to the headquarters, Liu Gen also learned from the bosses at the headquarters that the number of battles he could participate in would increase a lot in the future. As the number of battles Liu Gen participated in increased, he would have much less time to stay at the rear.
Liu Gen didn't know when he would join Director Xu and others after leaving this time. The only thing he could do was to tell Director Xu and others some of the technical knowledge he knew, and then use it as a technical reserve for the arsenal.
Of course, if the arsenal has needs, Liu Gen will definitely return to the arsenal to solve certain problems. However, unless there are some problems that require Liu Gen to solve personally, ordinary problems can be solved on the phone.
