Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 236 129 divisions, 8 brigades and 25 regiments
"Look at it later, I'll draw a picture, I can't understand this chapter without a picture."

As we all know, the Eighth Route Army has three main divisions.

Before entering Shanxi in the early stage of the reorganization of the troops, the three divisions were almost the same in all aspects.It also adopts the establishment of Class C divisions in the 19th year of the Republic of China. Each division has two brigades under its jurisdiction, and the brigade has two regiments under its jurisdiction.

After counting the troops directly under the division, the troop strength is generally between 1.3 and 1.5.

But the subsequent developments are all wonderful, and the experiences of the three divisions are completely different.

As we said before, the 120th Division has different missions and inherent deficiencies, and its development is limited by the region, so the current strength of the 10th Division does not exceed [-].

In the original timeline, compared with the remaining two divisions, the condition of the 115th division will be better than that of the 129th division.

Because the scope of the latter's activities is mainly in North China, which is the area where the devils are most frequently engaged in battles.What's more, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is still in the southeast of Shanxi, which is the key target of the enemy's attack.

After fighting for many years, the development of the 129th division is naturally not as good as the 115th division.

However, things are different now!

Due to Huang's intrusion, the logistics department in the southeast Shanxi base has undergone earth-shaking changes.The 129th division can be said to be very rich if it is close to the water.

At the beginning, the style of painting was quite normal. At that time, Huanghe used civilian factories to exchange some resources to improve the food and living conditions of the frontline soldiers.

Due to the difficult conditions, his improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops is very limited.That is to bring back some Mosin Nagant and French weapons from World War I, and improve the power of bullets and grenades.

Last May, the 129th Division was reorganized.The regular troops under the division have 9 brigades and 28 regiments.

In addition to the death column and local troops under the command of the division, the strength of the entire system exceeds 10, which is no different from the original timeline.

But after June last year, when the overlord of the European continent, Gaul Rooster France, surrendered, the development speed of the whole division took a qualitative leap as if it had been opened.

The 129th Division was not only the first among the three main forces to be equipped with a full set of magic weapons.Moreover, because of the various military production lines of the logistics department, it has the confidence to vigorously expand the army.

The Eighth Route Army has always been adhering to the principle of ideological mobilization and voluntary military service, and from time to time mobilizes eligible young adults.

However, since the grassroots construction in the southeast Shanxi base area has begun to take shape, its influence has long been different from what it used to be.

Coupled with the good treatment provided by the 129th Division to soldiers and their families, as well as the attraction brought by advanced equipment, ordinary people joined the army in an endless stream.

Even with the increased enlistment requirements, troop strength at all levels has exploded.

Now the division has 15 regular brigades and 47 regiments.

Counting the local armed forces and militia, when necessary, 15 people can be thrown into the battle at one go, which has laid an indestructible foundation for the independent war in North China.

······
In the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan, the units of the 129th Division were not far from Gaoping and Yangcheng, and were responsible for supporting the Northeast Front.

Although Wuxiang is only more than 33 kilometers away from the garrison of the enemy's 100rd Division, the troops could not launch an attack first.

We have to wait for the comrades from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to be ready to intercept Hebei, Chahar, and parts of Suiyuan to aid the enemy. We also need to wait for the comrades of the 120th Division to contain the 36th and 37th Divisions.

What's more, the troops also have to take care of the artillery, which is not very convenient to move.

At this time, there was still half an hour left before the scheduled start of the battle, and the division commander was working intensively with a group of staff officers to check for omissions and fill in the gaps to make sure that all the plans were foolproof.

Suddenly, there was a burst of intensive footsteps outside the combat conference room.

The brigade commander walked into the room with a smile on his face and a telegram in his hand. Others knew that something good must have happened at a glance.

"Master, I have a rather interesting telegram here."

"Some people from our Eighth Route Army are quietly making a fortune in the enemy's rear, making it so prosperous!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

This feeling of being in the spotlight extremely satisfies the "vanity" of Lezi people.

It's a pity that the teacher didn't follow the routine and grabbed the telegram, adjusted his glasses and started to read.But the first line of the telegram gave him the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

上面赫然写着我98军残部、17军残部、43军残部，将在八路军李师长的带领下，配合129师行动，合力围歼敌第33师团和第41师团。

The teacher, who had been busy for a few days, couldn't react in his head, and the three words, Teacher Li, made him look confused.

"Is there something wrong with my last eye? Or is it a mistake in deciphering the message?"

"In the Eighth Route Army, since when did we have a division commander surnamed Li? If I remember correctly, there isn't even a comrade named Li among the deputy division commanders."

Although it was a question sentence, the teacher quickly thought of one thing.The First Marine Regiment led by Li Yunlong was the Eighth Route Army armed force that entered Zhongtiao Mountain first.

Counting the time, they have been fighting behind enemy lines for nearly six days.

"Is the authenticity of the information confirmed?"

After hearing the question, the brigade commander nodded.

As a former intelligence leader, he used the method discussed in advance to confirm the identity of the other party as soon as he received the message.Just in case, someone was sent to verify the authenticity of the information.

After seeing the suddenly realized expression of the teacher, the brigade commander immediately said:

"As you expected, it's Li Yunlong."

"I've just gotten in touch with the other party. He started gathering Guoguo's rout from the day he set off, and until today he has 6000 people under his command."

"However, the name of the division commander is not what he calls himself, but the name that the fruit-preserved soldiers call him."

Due to the insufficient power of the radio of the First Marine Regiment, it was impossible to contact the higher-level troops.In order to get in touch with the division headquarters, the radio station of the 98th Army can only be used to make circular calls.

But the communications soldier who operated it had only joined the army for seven hours, and he didn't even know what Li Yunlong's full name was.Self-defeating, he directly used his surname and what he believed to be his position.

The person who loves Lao Li the most is always the brigade commander. In order to reduce unnecessary misunderstandings, he specially emphasized a sentence at the end of the sentence, explaining it for his love general.

After hearing the specific reason, everyone in the combat conference room laughed out loud.

Everyone present here is an acquaintance of Chief Li Datuan, although the New Second Regiment has become independent from the sequence of the 129th Division and has become the First Marine Regiment directly under the Eighth Route Army.

But everyone's old friendship has not faded. Even if Lao Li really dared to call himself a teacher in the division headquarters, everyone would only use melon-eating expressions to see who gave him the courage.

"Okay, with the addition of that kid Li Yunlong, we will be more confident in this battle."

"As long as he can block the devil's back, this battle can definitely wipe out the enemies of the two divisions. After eating the entire First Army, there will be no war in Shanxi!"

"Pass my order to ask the First Air Division to find a way to airdrop a batch of weapons to them. After five or six days of fighting, it is estimated that the first Marine Regiment is about to be covered with thirty-eight large."

This attack plan was made by the deputy commander-in-chief and the division commander. They decided to send half of the troops of the 129th division, that is, eight brigades and 25 regiments to surprise the devils.

For such a large-scale operation, how to avoid the devil's eyeliner and reconnaissance plane is a difficult problem.

If the enemy finds out what's going on, the opponent will definitely give up attacking the Zhongtiao Mountain North Line of Defense and flee to the Jincheng area instead.

Fortunately, the First Air Division has obtained the air supremacy on the battlefield, eliminating the most troublesome link of reconnaissance aircraft, and the troops only need to ensure that they will not be discovered by humans during the march.

After departure, troops at all levels strictly controlled fireworks.All marchers must wear camouflage, radio silence is maintained at the brigade level, and portable communicators are prohibited at the regimental level.

Every day after the sun goes down, they start marching, and stop marching at dawn to hide in the mountains and forests.

The hundreds of M1897 75mm cannons of the three artillery regiments were all scattered in the brigades, and they were used intensively after the destination of the first stage.

Under strict discipline, the army of tens of thousands marched, but the devils didn't notice it at all.

After arriving at the scheduled gathering place, the division commander will send eight brigades to the north of Qinshui, the east of Yangcheng, and the west of Henghe to form a pocket formation.

As long as the time is right, all troops will launch an attack with the cooperation of the three artillery regiments and the First Air Division.

This is a classic roundabout tactic, coupled with one of Li Yunlong's divisions in Shaoyuan, it can definitely wipe out the two divisions of the Devils!
······
On the northeast side of Zhongtiao Mountain, Dong Feng.

In the joint headquarters of the 33rd Division and the 41st Division, Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai and Lieutenant General Shimizu Noriki were not in a very good mood at this time.

There was a piece of paper on the table in front of the two, which was a telegram just sent by the North China Front Army Command.They looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the room was very awkward.

"Mr. Qingshui, Commander Gangcun must be in a hurry."

"Forget about our division. After all, the serious battle is only one day and one night. Your division has not rested since the afternoon of the 7th. Even fighting for six days is too hard."

Shimizu shook his head resignedly, after all, the first rank of officials crushed people to death, and he also offended his immediate boss.

They also received the news that the two divisions on the western front had been wiped out. Neiji Okamura did not intend to stop the losses in time, but chose to bet all his troops and give it a go.

In the telegram, he was preparing for a super-large pincer offensive by the troops on the Northeast Front.

Among them, the task of the 41st Division is to go south immediately, passing Shaoyuan to occupy all the ferries on the east side of Zhongtiao Mountain, and completely cut off the connection between the north and south banks of the Yellow River.

The 33rd Division and the independent mixed fourth brigade need to be divided into two groups, one along the Qinhe River to Jiyuan, and the other through Henghe to Fengmenkou.

The purpose of doing this is to combine the forces of the three divisions to defeat the 9th Army and the 93rd Army in the shortest time.

Only when the 21st and 35th Divisions on the Eastern Front were liberated, Okamura Ningji was sure that he could fight the sudden Eighth Route Army in a decisive battle on the plains.

"No way, everything is for the sake of time."

"Once the 129th Division on the Western Front reaches the Eastern Front, the Battle of the Central Plains will come to naught. Not only will Zhongtiao Mountain not be defeated, but the safety of our two divisions may also be in question."

That's right, until now, the North China Front Army still believes that the enemy appearing on the Western Front is the 129th Division.

The devils conducted a reconnaissance in the southeastern direction of Shanxi, and they did not find any signs of large-scale southward mobilization of the Eighth Route Army.

Combined with the time of the battle on the western front and the fierce firepower, Neiji Okamura judged that the Eighth Route Army over there should be the main force of the 129th Division detoured to support.

After all, everyone knows that the 120th Division is going to guard the border area and is responsible for preventing the enemy from crossing the Yellow River westward, so it will not easily come out in full force.

It can only be said that empiricism kills people. No one thought that the strength of the northwestern Shanxi base area was already so strong that it could mobilize such a large number of troops without affecting the original mission.

What's more, I didn't expect that the 129th division had a very large picture and was very patient.

After thinking for a while, Sakurai Shozo walked to the map.He clicked through all the towns he was going to pass through with his fingers, and then complained to his colleagues behind him:

"It's true that the superiors are talking, and the people below have lost their legs. Those of us who lead the army are all hard-working lives."

"I hope I don't encounter the air force of the Eighth Route Army on the way. Those fighter jets are really too cruel. With my small number of people, I can't withstand more than two rounds of attacks."

Mentioning the First Master Kong, Shimizu felt a chill down his spine.

Although the 98th Army was successfully killed in the battle last night, the two of them also suffered losses.What's more, the 41st Division was originally divided into two, and now there are only more than 6000 people left.

Once you encounter the enemy's air force, there may not be a whole body.

No matter what, the hum of piston engines sounded in the sky.The expressions of the two changed, and they immediately ran out of the headquarters to check the number of enemy planes.

At the same time, a nightmare sound of trumpets sounded around Dongfeng Village.

You don't need to guess to know that the enemy is the Eighth Route Army. After all, the Guofu army was defeated by them last night.

The two lieutenant generals looked at each other, and they both thought of a sentence in their hearts, that is, good attackers move above the nine heavens.

Until now, they have not figured it out. An hour ago, Lu Hang took the risk and sent six reconnaissance planes to investigate in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's southeast Shanxi base.

Obviously, no trace of the action of the army was found, but which army is the enemy in front of him?How did the opponent quietly touch the vicinity of one's own side?
Doesn't the Eighth Route Army need logistical supplies for war?

Although there are countless perplexities in my heart, there is no time to think at this time.

The two did not choose to enter the air-raid shelter. If there is no coordinated command in the current encounter, they will undoubtedly lose.They returned to the command post in the shortest possible time, picked up the phone and issued orders to their subordinates.

"All units are deployed in the unit of the wing and quickly deployed on the positions of the Yuanguofu defenders. Using the advantages of height and terrain, we must block all the enemies!"

"Send all the scouts out to find a suitable direction to break through. If the enemy dares to attack with such fanfare, their strength and heavy firepower must be several times stronger than ours."

"Send a telegram to the headquarters to apply for tactical guidance! Tell Commander Gangcun that we need the support of the Army Aviation!"

As soon as the words fell, several shells flew from the north.

The sparse number must be the enemy's test firing, and the next two divisions will inevitably usher in the baptism of artillery fire.

　This tactic was inspired by the siege of the [-]st Marine Division.

　　Back then, 10 soldiers from the Ninth Corps quietly surrounded Changjin Lake, so it wasn't too much for me to surround two devil divisions.

　　Thinking about tactics is too difficult, and the work is not so tiring
