Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-First Battle Cloud Shrouded
The third update today, please recommend and collect.
....................................
After this incident, Lin’s father and Lin’s mother completely agreed to the marriage between Zhang Yunfei and Lin Yuxin. Zhang Yunfei was in a good mood and stayed at home for several days with Lin Yuxin.
Lin Yuxin's younger brother also came home from school on weekends. Lin Yurong, who was in middle school, was very impressed after knowing that his future brother-in-law was a famous anti-Japanese hero. His eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Zhang Yunfei. He always pestered Zhang Yunfei to tell the heroic stories of the anti-Japanese hero whenever he had time.
During this period, Zhang Yunfei invited Lin's father to invest in a factory in Datong, and Lin's father also agreed to go to Datong at the right time and set up several factories in Datong.
After spending almost ten days in Xi'an, considering that he was busy with military affairs, Zhang Yunfei resolutely embarked on the journey back to Datong with the reluctant Lin Yuxin.
On April 1, Zhang Yunfei returned to Datong.
Liu Dazhu and Fang Zheng, who were busy and anxious, were very happy to see Zhang Yunfei coming back. Many things need to be decided by Zhang Yunfei. More importantly, according to the information sent back by the special forces, the two little ghost divisions in Zhangjiakou and the Mongolian Xinjiang corps of Tojo Hideki were gathering, and nearly 100,000 Japanese troops may be invading Datong on a large scale.
It seems that the Japanese are prepared this time. Nearly 100,000 Japanese troops are in trouble. It seems that there is a fierce battle. After reporting on the enemy situation, Liu Dazhu and Fang Zheng also looked solemn. It seems that the Japanese are trying to capture Datong in one fell swoop this time.
Zhang Yunfei slowly walked to the map and looked at the vast and flat Mongolian grasslands in the north of Datong. There were no natural dangers to guard in the north of Datong. The only small hills that could be used for defense were only some small hills. There were some mountainous areas to the east, which could block the Japanese army invading from Zhangjiakou.
Zhang Yunfei was not sure about fighting the Japanese army on the vast plains or grasslands. If the battle failed, the Japanese army would march straight into it. If Datong fails, the fun would be great. If Datong loses its industrial base, Zhang Yunfei could only hide in the Taihang Mountains and fight guerrillas with the Japanese.
Seeing Zhang Yunfei thinking, Liu Dazhu and Fang Zheng were also standing beside him, not even daring to show off their anger, for fear that they would accidentally affect Zhang Yunfei's thinking.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yunfei said: "Political Commissar, how is the production of our armored personnel carriers progressing?"
Political Commissar Fang Zheng immediately replied: "Our first armored personnel carrier will not complete all tests until mid-March, and the first batch of twenty armored personnel carriers are still in production, and it is expected to be removed from the line until the end of April."
It seems that armored personnel carriers are not expected for the time being. At present, it seems that only off-road vehicles and trucks can be expected. Currently, there are hundreds of off-road vehicles and trucks. On the grassland, four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles can maneuver quickly.
Zhang Yunfei said again: "At present, how is the situation of the Sixth Infantry Brigade of Chu Tianming, which is far away in Feng Town, north of Datong? If the Japanese army invades from the north, the Sixth Infantry Brigade will be the first to bear the brunt."
Seeing Zhang Yunfei asking, Liu Dazhu hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Chu Tianming's Sixth Infantry Brigade currently has more than 12,000 people, but less than one-fifth of the veterans, and nearly 10,000 new recruits have just completed training. I estimate that their combat effectiveness is a little worse than that of the other infantry brigades."
"I'll send a telegram to Chu Tianming, asking him to pay close attention to the Japanese army in the north, and appropriately set up the cordon, and at the same time, order Wang Haiyang's First Infantry Brigade to head north and enter Gaoyang Town 30 kilometers east of Feng Town. The two armies are supporting each other and can connect with each other." Zhang Yunfei ordered.
At present, Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division has six infantry brigades, each ranging from 12,000 to 15,000 people. In addition, there are artillery brigades, armored brigades, cavalry regiments, anti-aircraft artillery regiments, flight brigades, etc., a total of more than 130,000 people. Although the armored brigades and flight brigades have not yet formed combat effectiveness, more than 100,000 people can participate in the war. The number of people is basically the same as the invading Japanese army.
But it is basically difficult to annihilate or defeat 100,000 Japanese devils by 100,000 people. This is one of the main reasons why Zhang Yunfei is worried.
The only thing we can do at present is to assemble troops and prepare for combat, and pay close attention to the trends of the Japanese army, think about countermeasures, and then report the situation of the Japanese army's invasion to the headquarters.
At the same time, Zhang Yunfei remembers that in May of this year, Tojo Hideki's Mongolian Xinjiang Corps, Zhukov's Soviet Far East Army broke out, but now it is April. Tojo Hideki's main energy is to invade Datong. It seems that history has really changed.
....................................................................................................
The capital of Suiyuan Provincial, Guisui, and the headquarters of the Mongolian and Xinjiang Corps.
Tojo Hideki was full of energy. The latest combat plan of the base camp in mainland China has been announced by senior military leaders. The highest executor to implement this combat plan is Tojo Hideki.
The combat plan this time is to attack Datong, annihilate Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division, and to avenge his former shame. In order to concentrate superior forces, the base camp assigned the 10th and 109th divisions of the North China Front Army to the command of Hideki Tojo. At present, the 10th Division has entered the Zhangjiakou area, and the 109th Division is gathering and will march along the Pingsui Line at that time.
Tojo Hideki's Mongolian Xinjiang Corps has three ** mixed brigades, each with nearly 10,000 people. In addition, the base camp has a heavy artillery group, considering that Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division has a heavy artillery group, it specially allocated a heavy artillery brigade from the Kwantung Army, which was also under the command of Tojo Hideki.
This is why Hideki Tojo is full of energy. The three field divisions, a heavy artillery brigade, and his own Mongolian Corps have a total of nearly 100,000 people, all of which are under their unified command.
Among them, the 10th Division is still a Class A Division, with the total number of personnel reaching 270,000, and the 109th Division is still a special division. The total number of personnel exceeds 20,000, and the two divisions are nearly 50,000.
With so many troops, they were uniformly assigned to the command of Hideki Tojo, rather than to the command of Youngji, the North China Front Jungang Village, which shows that the base camp attaches great importance to itself, with a 100,000 army. Hideki Tojo is fully confident that he will annihilate Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division and capture Datong.
Beiping, North China Front Command.
Okamura Yasuji, who just returned from China, was in a mood opposite to Hideki Tojo, and was very depressed and unwilling. This time, the base camp not only did not hand over such an important combat plan to itself, but instead allocated two elite divisions from his own battle sequence to Hideki Tojo, which was very uncomfortable in Okamura Yasuji's heart.
Okamura Yasuji was also a little worried. Hideki Tojo has always been a low command and is known as the Tojo Higher Private. I wonder if he could complete the combat plan agreed by the empire this time.
Chapter completed!
