Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 302 Suiyuan War Begins!

Facts have proved that we can never take the aggressor too simply.

When the No.11 Japanese Army in Central China launched its second large-scale attack on the Ninth Theater, the Mongolian Army in Suiyuan and the "good-hearted" Kwantung Army also began to infiltrate the Eighth Theater.

With the army aviation reconnaissance plane supported by the Kwantung Army, the Garrison Mongolian Army has an absolute advantage in intelligence for the first time.

Although the above-mentioned three forces are independent of each other, there are even many conflicts and deep grievances among some commanders.But they tacitly launched two large-scale battles at the same time, just to make Bald Ying too busy to attend to one and lose the other.

This trick is very deadly for preserved fruit, after all, the synergy between their major war zones is really hip-pull.

Often in large-scale battles, adjacent theaters cannot cooperate with each other, let alone the eighth and ninth theaters that are thousands of kilometers apart.

The Suiyuan area is a plateau, and its west and north are almost entirely desert.Except for the Hetao area, the province is still not self-sufficient in grain.

The only mineral resource with advantages is not suitable for large-scale mining because of inconvenient transportation.

But such a difficult area has become a sweet pastry invisibly, which is extremely important to the current Eighth Route Army, Seventh Route Army, and the Japanese Army.

This is not the first time that the Kwantung Army has peeped here. As early as a few years ago, they attempted to officially enter the pass, and even had the crazy idea of ​​​​taking down the four northern provinces in one fell swoop.

After all, if you go north from the Hetao Plain, you can directly point to the Baikal region from the east and south.

Although they signed the notorious neutrality treaty with the north some time ago, they recognized each other's territories that did not belong to them.However, the Kwantung Army stationed on the east, west, and north sides of the Far East troops carefully prepared by Dalinzi, and they would fall into crisis if they were torn apart.

If Suiyuan is occupied, it can directly threaten the sons' territory.

Not to mention whether you can fight or not, at least you can achieve a relatively balanced state in terms of strategy and face.

The idea of ​​​​garrisoning the Mongolian army is even simpler. Currently, Shanxi has been lost by Neiji Okamura and Yoshio Iwamatsu.In order to keep Suiyuan in the future, there is still an opportunity to counterattack North China, or even march into the Northwest to seize the entire Central Plains.

Invaders are always ruthless.

As for the seven-and-a-half-way idea, it should be more pure. Suiyuan is the biggest capital for him to settle down. How can he just give up on the foundation he has worked so hard to build for half his life.

In the current winter offensive, the bald head saw that the 35th Army suffered too much losses and gave a large amount of military expenses, and suggested that he go to Lanzhou to take up the post of commander of the eighth theater.

Logically speaking, when the two happy events of being promoted and getting rich collide, ordinary people will definitely happily accept it.

However, Qilu refused politely without even thinking about it. After all, he finally got out of the quagmire of the Jin family and established his own kingdom in Suiyuan by relying on the 35th Army.

If the price of being promoted and getting rich is to depend on others, then it is better to continue to lead the remnants of the army to fight with the devils.

Finally, there is the Eighth Route Army. Compared with the above-mentioned forces, Baye is simply like a college student.

The border region has only one goal from beginning to end, and that is to recover all the lost land in the hands of Guoguo, so that the people in the occupied areas will no longer live in fear.

······
On September 27, the Deputy Commander of the Eighth Theater Command.

"Brother, it's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Now Tanzhou has become a mess, and the intelligence shows that the devils have broken through the defense line of Laodaohe this morning. The chairman has no energy to take care of Suiyuan at all."

"Although the Eighth Route Army secretly sent us a batch of anti-aircraft guns, it never officially responded to the matter of sending troops to help."

"Now we have no choice but to save ourselves. Either retreat to the Lanzhou area before the enemy officially attacks, and then seek an opportunity to counterattack Hetao in the future. Or take the initiative to attack and concentrate our superior forces to eat the vanguard of the devils first."

After hearing Chen Jieshan's persuasion, Qilu closed his eyes in pain.

At first he had some illusions about the bald head, after all, they Suiyuan could restrain the development of the Eighth Route Army in a certain sense.Even if you don't care about the life and death of the common people, you can't just watch the "friendly army" grow bigger and stronger.

But who would have thought that the other party would be so decisive. After the southern granary was threatened, they immediately concentrated resources to prepare for the battle, regardless of the life and death of the northern desert.

"There is a way to hold on firmly? Hehe!"

"It's such an understated telegram. With the current remnant army of our department, it is estimated that even the entire evacuation is an extravagant hope."

"Facing the devil's planes, tanks and cannons, are the soldiers and common people in the Eighth War Zone going to fight the enemy with flesh and blood? This is the second time they have voluntarily given up on Suiyuan! Damn it! Damn it!"

The world often only sees the many victories he achieved in the Eighth War Zone in Suiyuan, but only a very few people know how much they have paid.

After the Battle of Baotou and the Battle of Suixi, the No.30 Fifth Army, the main force of the Seven and a Half Route, lost nearly half of its personnel, from 3 at its peak to [-].

There is also a lot of loss of weapons and equipment, which can only barely achieve one rifle per capita.

The great victory in Wuyuan cost the most. He reduced the regiment into a battalion, and the battalion into a company, and then gathered the troops to fight the enemy bloody.If the military supplies hadn't been buried in the ground in advance, their army wouldn't even have the weapons to counterattack.

After a while, Qilu took a deep breath and made a decision.

"Give me an order to send out the Sixth Cavalry Army, the Third Cavalry Division, and the Fourth New Cavalry Division."

"I don't ask them to fight the enemy head-on. I just need to intervene between Guisui and Baotou to destroy the railway. If they encounter the devil's transport troops, they will play by ear! Everything is based on preserving strength!"

"Let the 35th Army, 35th Division, Wulin Garrison Brigade and other troops at all levels immediately move to the north of Anbei, and cooperate with the cavalry in the theater along the way to ambush the support troops of the Mongolian Army."

As a general who has fought against devils since the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, Qilu and a half knows that the end of sticking to Wuyuan is death.

Nowadays, the cavalry group of the Mongolian army has undergone earth-shaking changes. While retaining part of the cavalry, the opponent has actually gathered a tank brigade.

That was a total of 130 tanks, and their anti-tank capabilities in the Eighth War Zone were limited, and they had no other way but to use the anti-aircraft artillery sent by the Eighth Route Army to shoot flat.

Once the garrison in Mongolia forms a joint operation of infantry, artillery, tanks, and air force, then no matter how strong the city wall is, it will not be able to withstand the enemy's impact.

Therefore, Seven and a half decided to take the initiative to attack, to attack the opponent's transportation line as much as possible before the Japanese army was assembled, and to attack the infantry brigade of the independent mixed second brigade by the way.

After all, the enemy's occupied area is more than 300 kilometers away from Wuyuan City. As long as there is a problem with the opponent's logistics supply system, the crisis can naturally be resolved.

Of course, relying on the above-mentioned countermeasures alone is definitely not safe, and after a little thought, Qilu continued to give instructions to the staff:
"Mobilize the people in the Linhe area. We need to prepare a retreat and let the troops build fortifications with the locals."

"Except for the bridge we still have to cross, all roads and bridges are blown up. Dig more anti-tank trenches, this time the enemy will move a large number of tanks."

"Give electricity to the Eighth Route Army! Ask them if the Jinsui Military Region can support us with a batch of weapons and rations! He must know the truth of the cold, even if we can't send troops, we must provide us with material support."

As a well-known defensive general in the Republic of China, Qilu and a half fought a lot of defense battles in the first half of his life, and he knew very well what his troops needed most when defending the city.

When the Jin Army and the Northwest Army fought in chaos, he once led a regiment of troops to defend Tianzhen City.

Originally, Yan Laoxi just wanted to push Qilu and a half out to block the knife, but no one thought that he would actually guard the city for three full months.

During the Northern Expedition, he died in Zhuozhou and carried out seven attacks by the Feng faction.

At that time, the old Zhang family used all their means, including tanks, engineers, tunnels, air raids and even poisonous gas.If it weren't for the lack of food and weapons in the city, he could really lead his troops to fight forever.
