Chapter 154 Xiayi and Dangshan
The next morning, local guerrilla soldiers from southern Henan and western Henan arrived, and Ouyang Yiyi met them.
Ouyang looked at their dusty and pale faces, and felt really uncomfortable. He immediately ordered the political commissar Zhao Gang: "Political Commissar, these guerrilla soldiers are so miserable. You can immediately transfer a batch of guns, ammunition and daily necessities from our detachment to replenish them."
"Well, okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Political Commissar Zhao Gang responded immediately, and he was not delayed at all. Although the White Tiger Detachment was not well-off, the conditions for these guerrillas who came to support the battle were even more difficult.
In Ouyang's words: "If the soldiers can't even have enough food to eat, they will have the strength to kill the Japanese, so they will always be the first priority!"
In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Chengwu, the Independent Regiment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, arrived here.
"Thank you all the way, Commander Yang!" Ouyang held Yang Chengwu's hand tightly, and admired him very much.
Because according to the original plan, they needed to cross 80 miles and travel from the mountain to the west, and must meet with Ouyang before May 23, but they actually arrived at the scheduled location 30 hours in advance.
With this point alone, Ouyang had to admire the rapid march!
The three main divisions under the Eighth Route Army, of which the 115th Division, are the strongest division in terms of numbers and combat performance, and Yang Chengwu's independent regiment is the absolute ace of the 115th Division.
"It's not hard. When the brothers heard that they were going to the front line to fight the Japanese, they all screamed like wolf cubs." Commander Yang Chengwu laughed and said that it's not hard.
After pausing, Yang Chengwu said again: "According to the combat plan set by the headquarters in advance, our troops have been stationed in Dangshan, 60 miles northeast of Xiayi. The specific implementation plan depends on how you arrange it."
"Oh, let's discuss it together!" Ouyang waved his hand quickly and said with a smile.
In 1937, during the Battle of Pingxingguan, Yang Chengwu led the 115th Division Independence Regiment, boldly went deep into the enemy's rear, sneaked into the Yaozhan area, cut off the enemy's highway transportation line, blocked Japanese reinforcements several times his own, and bought time for brother troops to annihilate the Japanese army in Pingxingguan.
If the normal development is carried out according to history, in January 1938, the Independent Regiment led its troops to North China and won consecutive victories. In just over a month, Yang Chengwu led his troops to recover seven cities including Laiyuan, Guangling, and Weixian, and from more than 17oo people when they went out to more than 7oo people.
After the headquarters learned about it, General Zhu and General Peng were both excited and said, "The 7ooo team is still called the Independent Regiment, which is not worthy of its name. In order to strengthen our army's power, it quickly expanded the strength of North China. The Independent Regiment restored its Red Army system and changed it to the Independent First Division, and Yang Chengwu served as the division commander!"
Ouyang admires Yang Chengwu from the bottom of his heart. The future founding general, I don’t expect that one day I can command such a great man to fight!
Fortunately!
With this point, Ouyang is enough to leave his name in history!
Haha, one day my buddy will be able to command the future founding general. No one will believe it if you say it out!
~~~~~~~~~~
On the evening of that day, the leaders of the White Tiger Detachment, the 115th Division Independent Regiment and the local guerrillas gathered in the conference room to make strategic deployments for the next blocking battle!
Ouyang Dangxian said: "This time I have great freedom in my battle, because we come from the Second War Zone and are not under the jurisdiction of Cheng Qian, the first War Zone. Everyone knows our opponent this time, that is the 16th Japanese Division led by Nakajima Atsugo."
"Yeah!" Everyone nodded and said yes.
Ouyang then took a pen and drew several circles on the map, saying, "The 14th Division is surrounded, and the 16th Division will inevitably carry out rescue. Then their targets are Guide and Shangqiu. The offensive route must be more than one way. Judging from the current situation, there are mainly two locations."
"Xiayi and Dangshan!"
"Among them, the Dangshan area is densely filled with rivers, and the Xinbian River and the South Four Lakes are two major water systems that pass by. At the same time, the mountain roads are rugged, which is not conducive to the rapid advancement of the Japanese mechanized troops. Therefore, the number of Japanese rescue troops will definitely not exceed half of the brigade, which means that at most one brigade, plus a brigade's strength, the total number will be mixed, and the total number is expected to be no more than 6ooo."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Commander Yang Chengwu said solemnly: "The Japanese army in Dangshan will be handed over to our Independent Regiment. I promise that as long as there is a soldier in our Independent Regiment, we will definitely not let any Japanese army cross our position!"
Ouyang nodded and focused on Xiayi again, saying: "Xiayi is located in He~Shangqiu, near Yucheng, and is next to the south of Longhai Railway. It is known as "there are the "bringing the river, the keys are the Song and Xu, and the blocking of Zhongzhou". It has always been a strategic place that military strategists must fight for."
"This place is the top priority of the Japanese army's marching route!"
Immediately, Ouyang circled the locations of several towns on the map of Xiayi.
Taiping Town, Beizhen Township, Huqiao Township!
The locations of these three towns, from the map, are a triangle.
Among them, Beizhen Township must be the main position, because the terrain here is the widest and suitable for the advancement of large-scale mechanized Japanese troops;
Taiping Town is located 20 miles northwest of Beizhen Township and is a flanking position;
Huqiao Township, located 25 miles southwest of Beizhen Township, is both a flanking position;
Ouyang said in a deep voice: "This triangular defense is our last lifeline. The remaining nearly 7ooo people will face the Japanese army with nearly 20,000 troops here. The task is to stick to it for more than 3 days. The Japanese army must not be allowed to take half a step over Xiayi!"
Among them, Jiang Daya's second brigade has the strongest number and strength, and nearly 1 ooo of his troops will be responsible for the defense of Taiping Town to the north alone;
The First Battalion Zhou Weiguo's Ministry, together with the guerrilla soldiers, invested a total of more than 1 ooo to defend against Huqiao Township in the south;
"Then now there is only the third brigade Li Yunlong's troops, the artillery brigade Longdagu's troops, and other guerrillas, communication teams, guard companies, etc., with a total of less than 5ooo people. We are responsible for the front main position - Beizhen Township!" Ouyang said in a deep voice.
Finally, Ouyang glanced at everyone and said, "The plan has been decided. All departments will go to the combat site immediately and must build a steel line of defense!"
"Make sure to complete the task!"
Yang Chengwu, Zhou Weiguo, Li Yunlong and others stood up and responded loudly.
When the order was issued, everyone's heart was heavy, because this battle was a frontal position war, attrition war, and mobile warfare, rather than a guerrilla warfare familiar to the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army.
A difference of one word is a world of difference!
The difference between life and death!
The difference between heaven and hell!
Position warfare is a huge meat grinder, and countless soldiers will sacrifice for it.
However, all this is worth it. As long as the 16th Japanese Division can be stopped, the party and the country's more than 100,000 troops can completely annihilate the Japanese Tufeiyuan Division. In this way, western Henan can be preserved, the Yellow River will not burst, and tens of millions of people will not have to suffer any disaster!
The other units received the task, but the Wolf Tooth Squadron did not receive the order. The dog-headed old man stared at Ouyang with his eyes hot.
"Captain of the Detachment, Langya ask for a fight!" Lao Gao shouted.
