my bright sword career

Chapter 414 The big sweep has begun
1941 passed, and Gao Hongming ushered in his second year in this world... 1942.

Sitting in the study, he was taking stock of what he had gained after coming to this world.

"There is still 3872300 yuan in money in the weapon exchange shop, gold worth 830 million U.S. dollars and more than 220 million yuan in oceans in the warehouse at home.

There is also Ma Yi, a member of the Liantai militia... um... I can't say that..."

Gao Hongming kept writing and drawing with a pen on the desk, counting his family background and the major events that would happen in his memory, but the more he sorted out his brows, he began to frown, because he found that what happened now was different from his own. Memory seems to be a little off.

In another time and space, after Gangcun Ningci took over the position of commander of the North China Front Army, after several months of planning, it should start from February this year, mobilizing 10 divisions and 11 brigades to attack Shandong, Hebei The Eighth Route Army in , Henan, NMG and other places carried out large-scale raids.

According to his memory, the Japanese raid was divided into two phases, which lasted nearly a year and caused great losses to the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base areas.

In Liangjian, Li Yunlong led the independent regiment into parts and hid in XZ. The political commissar Zhao Gang was seriously injured, and Li Yunlong himself was sick.

However, there was no movement in the sweeping raid until now, which made Gao Hongming puzzled. Why did Ningci of Gangcun change his temper, shouldn't he?
In fact, what Gao Hongming didn't know was that the history of his arrival had changed a lot. The Battle of Zhongtiaoshan made Neiji Gangmura aware of the huge threat of the Liantai militia. After nearly half a year of detailed research, Neiji Gangmura and the commander The staff of the Ministry agreed that if they wanted to deal with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, the Liantai militia was an insurmountable hurdle.

Based on the relationship between Gao Hongming and the Eighth Route Army, Gao Hongming would never stand idly by once the Japanese army launched a sweep of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi. Therefore, if he wanted to deal with the Eighth Route Army, he had to deal with the Liantai militia. This was the most troublesome issue for Gangcun Ningci.

Gangcun Ningci Office, North China Front Army Headquarters, Beiping

A huge map of North China with a ratio of [-] to [-] hangs on the wall. Gangcun Ningci stands next to the map, pursing his lips, staring at the area in the lower left corner of the map. If anyone pays attention to it, that place is SX province.

There are two people standing next to Ningji Gangmura, one of them is Ichiro Miyamoto, the chief of operations section of Ningji Gangmura, and the other is Adachi 37, who has just been transferred from the position of commander of the 23th division to the North China Front Army as the chief of staff. lieutenant general.

Adachi 23 and Ichiro Miyamoto are aware of the concerns of Ningji Gangmura. For this raid plan, troops from Shandong, Hebei, Henan, NMG and other places have already entered the attack position. Hesitant, and the reason for this they all understand is that Neji Gangmura has never thought about how to deal with the Liantai militia.

Gangcun Ningci suddenly turned his head and asked, "Anda-kun, you fought against the Liantai militia in Zhongtiao Mountain. What's your opinion of this army?"

When mentioning the Liantai militia, Anda 23 showed a complex look on his face.

Although more than half a year has passed since the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, he still vividly remembers the tragedy of that battle. In that battle, the 37th Division he led had fought fiercely for a month.

Two of the three infantry regiments were wiped out, and the artillery regiment was also disabled. If it wasn't for his strict orders not to attack without authorization, his 37th division might become the first division to be wiped out by the Chinese army.

After this battle, he received a lot of criticism and pressure from home. If Ningji Gangmura had not put pressure on him to recommend him to the base camp as the commander of the North China Front Army, I am afraid that he would have been assigned to the domestic reserve force now.

Anda 23 thought for a while, "Your Excellency, Commander, Gao Hongming is not as cunning and changeable as the Eighth Route Army in war. On the contrary, his tactics are very rigid. He always fights in a rigid manner. He always relies on his air force and powerful firepower to slowly fight. Advance, don't play any interspersed tactics at all."

After hearing Adachi 23's evaluation, Okamura Ningji and Miyamoto Ichiro were not happy, but frowned slightly.

Don't think that rigid tactics or rigidity are derogatory terms. On the contrary, rigidity in military warfare means that the opponent seldom makes mistakes. Yangmou also means that it is difficult for you to find the other party's loopholes
Ichiro Miyamoto added: "According to reports, Gao Hongming's troops have only been operating within a few hundred miles of Liantaimin County for more than half a year, and rarely go out.

According to the report of the secret agent lurking in Liantai County, in the half a year since the end of the Zhongtiaoshan Battle, this guy has been constantly recruiting troops to expand his strength in Liantai County. So far he has recruited four battalions of infantry and two battalions of infantry artillery.

Of course, the infantry and artillery of the four battalions expanded by the Liantai militia are nothing to us.

But what disturbs me the most is that the air force of the Liantai Militia has also expanded. The Liantai Flying Brigade has expanded into two brigades, becoming a powerful regional air force with more than 180 advanced fighter planes. I rushed to the place of threat. "

"Yes!"

Neiji Okamura and Adachi 23 looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

No matter how powerful the infantry's combat effectiveness is, it will be limited by its mobility. It can't be in Shanxi today and go to Shandong tomorrow, right?

Moreover, the strength of the Liantai militia is limited, and the destructive power it causes is still within a controllable range.

But the air force is different. The mobility of this unit is too strong. In the morning, you can fight against you in Shanxi, and in the afternoon you can go to Shandong to bomb your airport, making you hard to defend.

In the past two years, the Japanese army's Army Aviation and the Liantai Flying Brigade have fought dozens of times. In the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan, the Japanese Third Flying Group was almost disabled. After more than half a year of repairs and supplements, it barely recovered its combat effectiveness.

Gangcun Ningci and Anda 23 thought over and over again, and finally decided to carry out the sweep of the Eighth Route Army as scheduled, but unlike in history, this time Gangcun Ningci specially mobilized two divisions to come to Shanxi, preparing to attack the Eighth Route Army from the east and the west. The direction is to attack Liantai County.

Gangcun Ningci's purpose is very clear, even if the Liantai militia cannot be eliminated, Gao Hongming cannot be allowed to come out to make trouble.

After repeated confirmation and consideration, Okamura Ningji finally issued the order to start the sweep.

Soon, twelve divisions and eleven brigades, more than 30 Japanese troops started operations in Henan, Shandong, Hebei, NMG, and Shanxi, and a brutal sweep began.
