Chapter 467: Autumn Harvest and Winter Collection 25
The Japanese acted very quickly, and like this, they brought family and various things with them. It was difficult for these unarmed people to escape the Japanese's pursuit. Liu Zhenghong immediately mobilized cadres and militias to do work for the people and helped the people to strengthen their walls and clear the country. Everything that could not be taken away was hidden, and the people must be lightly equipped.)
After some hard-working persuasion and the work of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, the people finally followed the troops lightly. However, the time when the military and civilians began to transfer was delayed several hours longer than the scheduled time.
Liu Zhenghong is responsible for protecting the safe transfer of the people. According to the pre-war plan, they need to move to the southwest, because the southwest is a large lake beach. Now that the water has fallen in winter, the lake beach is exposed, and there are some unharvested yellow reeds and aquatic plants, many people can be hidden here...
Yuan Dahuzi is still relatively calm at the moment. The main force in his hand has not moved yet. This is mainly because the island is constantly ambushed by militias and small groups of Eighth Route Army troops.
On the Chinese battlefield, the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla tactic, which is the Eighth Route Army, which can fight and run when they cannot, is extremely effective. In most cases, the scale of each battle is very small, but it can unexpectedly achieve some results. The so-called "small victory is a big victory", a few injured in this location and a few killed in that location. The losses suffered by the Japanese and puppet troops each time are not worth mentioning, but they are also a considerable amount after accumulation. This loss is unbearable for the Japanese army, whose troops are increasingly exhausted.
The Japanese were very annoyed by this kind of tactic. They tried every means to crack it, but for the righteous army supported by thousands of people, the angry army with strong will to kill the enemy and serve the country, and the army with the spirit of determination to fight to the death to the end, all the Japanese methods were difficult to succeed.
The Eighth Route Army blockade seemed to be possible at any time. Their team came and went without a trace, and the Japanese had no choice but to passively fight. Therefore, they became more and more careful, and the team's movements became slower and slower.
The Eighth Route Army was taking an emergency action, and the people who needed to be transferred on Liu Zhenghong had already begun to transfer, and Yuan Dahuzi also dragged the troops on the island tightly. Everything was carried out according to the deployment before the war. At least from the current point of view, the so-called sweep of the Japanese and puppet troops this time would be the same as usual, and they would return in vain.
The teams on the island slowly climb forward like snails. Although they are blocked by militia from time to time, the island is not in a hurry to advance now. He ordered the vanguard troops to drive away their opponents. The orders on *qududu** Island were praised by subordinates. Although the pursuit was very encouraging, the probability of casualties of combatants leaving the large army to pursue will inevitably increase sharply. After all, everyone comes to China to obtain military achievements, not to die. Who would be so stupid that they would die before they gain military achievements?
Time passed minute by minute, the sun had already set west, and after a while the sweeping troops were going to camp. This day seemed to be over.
Could it be that the Japanese could really solve the Eighth Route Army in the Hu family's shack just by relying on these little people on the island?
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a silly can train stopped on time in Luocun and the door opened. A large number of Japanese and puppet troops got off the train. Under the command of the officers, after a brief chaos, a team of well-trained Japanese and puppet troops were sorted out. They were on their shoulders and out of their sheath, and they lined up in neat teams towards the Hu family shack.
Luocun is located in the southeast of the First Military Sub-district of the Eighth Route Army. It is also the place where Yuan Dahuzi bombed the Japanese Railway to obtain supplies. Although this place is not a densely populated town and is not a particularly important transportation hub, there is an ancient official road nearby. This old official road leads directly to the area currently fighting on the front line.
Because China's territory is wide, the Japanese army's front line is lengthened. The Japanese and puppet troops' railway and road transportation has reached a limit. In order to ensure the lowest supply of ammunition and food on the front line, the Japanese army began to use animal power for transportation, and the locations along the railway such as Luocun, which were close to the official roads, were converted into transportation transit stations by them.
The Japanese built a solid bunker on the side of the railway and surrounded a large yard with a wall. If the war was needed, the train would stop here temporarily, and the materials that had been suspended on the train were hoarded in this large yard. Then the materials were transported to the front line through the Japanese transport troops through mules and horses.
This transit station is not often used, so there is only one squad of puppet troops stationed in daily life. Once there are materials that need to be transferred, the Japanese will then draw Japanese troops from other troops to strengthen defense.
The Japanese transport supply line has always been the key point of the attack of the Chinese team. Even the occasionally used transportation nodes like Luocun cannot be spared. In order to remove this transportation node, the Eighth Route Army has carried out several attacks and eliminated the permanent puppet troops. However, because the transfer station here must be maintained well, the Japanese have repeatedly regained the transfer station here and strengthened their troops to establish this transfer station.
Because the Eighth Route Army used the surrounding terrain and attacked the transfer station through night attacks, the Japanese also summarized the lessons and came up with some countermeasures.
The Japanese's methods were not complicated. They drove away several households around them, pushed down all the houses, and cut down all the trees around them. They also ordered nearby farmers not to be allowed to plant crops within five miles of the yard. In this way, a large area of open space was formed around the transfer station, and the Japanese and puppet troops had a large buffer area. In order to beautify this bad behavior, the Japanese and the Japanese said that it was not the purpose of clearing the shooting world. They wanted to ensure the safety of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle" to ensure that the "good people" were not harassed by China.
The one who led the troops to Luocun this time was a captain of the Japanese army. Their total strength was two Japanese squadrons, plus two puppet army squadrons. The commander who led the troops to sweep this time was Major Iijima.
In order to rectify the battle, the Japanese reserved some supplies at the Luozhuang Transfer Station. The Iijima Seijima ordered the Japanese soldiers to bring enough food and bullets needed for three days of combat, and then set off in an emergency; the puppet troops of the two squadrons were responsible for assisting in the attack, and they brought the remaining supplies closely behind the Japanese soldiers led by Iijima.
This so-called ruling war was an important battle organized by the Japanese army in North China. Since the July 7 Incident, the Japanese army's main force has made rapid progress on the front battlefield, which can be described as a thousand miles a day. However, in the occupied areas and areas along the traffic route, the locust army cannot guarantee peace. Instead, these areas are increasingly dragged away by the other party.
The threat of Chinese guerrilla troops represented by ** to the Japanese and puppet troops occupied the areas is becoming increasingly serious. After being attacked repeatedly, the Japanese began to pay attention to this tactics. They selected some so-called tactical experts for special research and finally came up with a cracking method, which is to advance lightly and use high-mobile light-equipped troops to deal with Chinese guerrilla troops.
After Iijima got off the train, he simply sorted out the troops, and then led the main Japanese troops to advance to the predetermined combat area immediately, while the puppet troops who came with the team were responsible for the task of logistics supply and stabilizing the rear. The puppet troops did not participate in this offensive operation, which was also decided before the war. After repeated attacks were setbacks, the Japanese soldiers could almost sum up that these Imperial Army were not enough to defeat them. Since these bad teams could not fight, they no longer expect them. Therefore, the Japanese army in North China only used the puppet troops as assistance.
The change in the tactics of the Japanese also caught the Kuomintang and the Communist Party off guard. A large part of the intelligence sources of the Chinese anti-Japanese war forces came from these puppet troops. Now the puppet troops have no target of advancement and no specific combat tasks. The intelligence personnel of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party do not know the enemy's specific combat plan, which has brought great confusion to this anti-sweeping operation.
On Liu Zhenghong's side, the Eighth Route Army still adopted the effective anti-sweeping approach in responding to the enemy. The main force commanded by Yuan Dahuzi was dealing with the Japanese and puppet troops on the island. The team commanded by Liu Zhenghong was taking the people to the areas they thought were safe. Therefore, on the Iijima march route, except for some militias, there was no organized resistance. Iijima's troops advanced rapidly. They quickly advanced more than 20 miles before dark. At the speed of the troops on the island march, they will go deep into the hinterland of the First Military Sub-district of the North Henan Province of the Eighth Route Army tomorrow.
The actions on the island cannot be said to be not fast, but the information from the Eighth Route Army and Li Qinglin was also very fast. When the Japanese soldiers led by the island were on their way, the information that the Japanese army had already put new troops into the battlefield was passed to Li Qinglin and Liu Zhenghong.
After leaving the headquarters of the Ninth Detachment of Qinghe Town, Li Qinglin convened a meeting of officers who could be convened overnight. The topic of this military meeting was the current issue of the Japanese and puppet troops' ruling the war.
The meeting started after supper. A lot of candles were lit in the conference room of the Ninth Detachment, so the conference room was bright. Because it has been confirmed that both Japanese devils were heading towards the Eighth Route Army, there is no danger at the Ninth Detachment at the moment. All the people participating in the meeting looked very relaxed. Everyone smoked and chatted and joked. The atmosphere in the conference room was very lively.
"Boss, this time the Japanese obviously went to the Eighth Route Army. There is no need for us to be so nervous, right?" After listening to the enemy situation, Zhang Ergou spitted out a cigarette and said with a smile.
"Captain Zhang, although the enemy is in the Eighth Route Army's defense zone, they are just under our noses." Han Jizhong stood up, and he walked to the map and picked up the indicator pole and pointed to the mark on the map: "The Japanese who came down from Luo Village are a little far away from us, but at the beginning the island troops heading south were not far from our Niuwang Village. They arrived at Captain Xu's straight line for only one or two days. If they suddenly turned around and headed north, we have to be on guard."
Liang Xixian looked at the map and said in confusion: "Didn't the Japanese led by the island get involved with the Eighth Route Army? Can they pull out and beat us?" (To be continued.
