Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Because Huoshan is closer and the road is slightly wider, it will definitely become the first choice for the retreat of the Japanese mechanized troops, which highlights the importance of its geographical location.

Because Huoshan is located in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains, its complex terrain and steep mountains made the Japanese army relax their vigilance. They only placed a brigade of the Japanese army and a brigade of the Imperial Association Army here. Two-thirds of this force was also drawn to assist Lu'an, which also gave the second detachment of the New Fourth Army an opportunity.

The New Fourth Army had been active in the Dabie Mountains for a long time, and was naturally very familiar with the terrain in this area. The second detachment spent more than ten days crossing the Dabie Mountains, taking a path that the Japanese army did not even think about. The 1000 troops went straight to Huoshan, and rushed out directly from behind Huoshan, slamming the Japanese army by surprise.Another 1000 troops set up an ambush on the way, and when they got to the halfway, they were shocked to hear that Huoshan had been attacked, and hurried back to the ambush site. One round wiped out more than half of the Japanese army, and then they were all submerged in a single charge. The unique mountain terrain gave the Japanese and puppet troops no chance to escape.

Although the New Fourth Army only has about two thousand people, they are all capable soldiers selected from the army, and they carry excellent weapons. Although they do not have artillery fire, they have been assisted by Jiang Haoran. They have light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and even rocket launchers. They are not young or old, and the strength of the troops is almost the same as that of the Japanese army, but the overall quality is much higher. The battle is basically over in less than two hours from the start to the end. Only a small number of Japanese and puppet troops in Huoshan saw the opportunity The earlier ones fled the battlefield westward, and most of them were wiped out or captured by the New Fourth Army.

As soon as the battle was over, Mr. Su immediately ordered the troops to build two lines of defense at Heishidu to block the Japanese army's retreat from Wuhan.

Heishidu is located to the west of Huoshan Mountain, and it is the only way for the Japanese army in Wuhan to enter Huoshan Mountain.There are narrow passes at both ends of the entrance and exit. The east end is called Kafangling, and the west end is called Majialing.

Although Mr. Su only has 2000 troops, but in this terrain, the Japanese army can invest only one brigade at most. As long as there are enough weapons and ammunition, the Japanese army is useless even if it has thousands of troops. This is the main reason why Jiang Haoran wanted to surprise Huoshan. reason.

Huoshan fell into the hands of the Chinese army. The only retreat route the Japanese army could choose was Jinzhai. The hundreds of thousands of troops of No.11 Army in Wuhan could only hope to pass through Jinzhai to recapture Lu'an and open up the retreat route. After all, Lu'an had only A division of the Eighth Route Army seems to have a fairly high success rate. It is precisely because of this "seemingly high success rate" that Jiang Haoran's strategic layout of "thousands of troops and horses to block the Jinzhai" was promoted.

I am afraid that the Japanese army did not expect that after the New Fourth Army took the Madang Fortress, except for one regiment to stick to it, all the other troops marched to the Dabie Mountains. The good relationship between the masses and the cover of the green barrier in the mountain made the New Fourth Army invisible in the eyes of the Japanese army.

Just when the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army captured Lu'an, more than 4 New Fourth Army under the leadership of Wang Shanhu were no more than a hundred miles away from Lu'an. Although the mountain road was difficult, two days was enough to reach Lu'an.

At dawn, at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, the National Army's former enemy headquarters.

The chairman sat at the first place with a gloomy face, and sitting below were a group of party and state officials who were silent. Only Dai Li, the director of the Military Control Bureau, stood beside the chairman with his head bowed, with a look of annoyance on his face. Make the civilized stick break in two.

Just received the news that the Eighth Route Army had captured Lu'an, and the chairman was still calm. After all, this was something they had expected, but then it was revealed that the New Fourth Army had captured Huoshan. The chairman's face was already very ugly, and he began to doubt The Yan'an troops might have some major action in the future, so they immediately set their sights on the nearest New Fourth Army and ordered Dai Li to investigate, and found that the New Fourth Army had left the front line of the Yangtze River a few days ago.At this moment, the chairman of the committee became furious, and greeted Dai Li with a civilized stick, until he broke the stick in two, but did not relieve his hatred, and even slapped Dai Li twice.

As the director of the Military Control Bureau, Dai Li didn't get such important information. He deserved this meal.Before the war, Dai Li reported that the Eighth Route Army had 3 to 13 troops, and during the war it became more than [-]. By now, the Eighth Route Army’s troops at the front had reached a terrifying [-] troops, which made the chairman extremely dissatisfied with him. , Now that he has made such a big mistake, how can the chairman spare him lightly.

The matter has come to this point, and the pursuit of responsibility is a later story. A suitable solution must be found as soon as possible to solve the immediate matter. The chairman must not allow the Yan'an troops to gain a firm foothold in Hubei, Henan and Anhui.

After some discussions, we finally came to a conclusion that satisfied everyone, that is, the Seventh Army suspended its attack on Jinzhai, let go of the main road, and let the No. 11 Japanese Army in Wuhan pass by. The Eighth Route Army plus the New Fourth Army is amazing There are 5 troops, while the No.11 Japanese army has hundreds of thousands of troops. Let’s see if they can withstand a few days of consumption. When they are finished fighting, the national army will start to chase after them. As long as the goal of liberating Wuhan is achieved, nothing else is important. up.

After giving the order to the Seventh Army, the chairman did not forget to give Jiang Haoran an order, ordering his Jiujiang troops to suspend crossing the river, and wait until the battle situation is clear before making any plans.

Nanchang, No.40 Army Command.

The news that Lu'an and Huoshan were taken down made the headquarters agitated. The encirclement has been formed. It is a matter of time before the No. 11 Japanese army is wiped out. These people only see war and how to eliminate the devils, without thinking about it at all. The chairman's political issues, so only pure pleasure.

Just as they were smiling, the chairman's telegram arrived. When Jiang Haoran received the telegram, the expression on his face immediately froze, and then a deafening curse broke out: "I'll fuck the fuck, shit, this It's just a bullshit order!"

A telegram was quickly circulated among the generals, and everyone soon knew what had happened. According to the plan, the No. 40 Army should mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized at this time, cross the river as soon as possible, and go straight from Huangmei to Luotian, Yingshan, if the Japanese army sees the opportunity quickly, the No. 40 Army will be the pursuit force. If the Japanese army still has the dream of standing firm and waiting for reinforcements to fight back to Wuchang, the No. 40 Army will decisively cut them off and divide the Japanese army into two battlefields, east and west. Then troops from all directions swarmed up, and the end of the battle was within ten days.
