Chapter 147 Battle Preparation (1)

Starting from January 6, the Japanese army carried out a large-scale mobilization of various anti-Japanese and base areas in the Taihang Mountains. The Eighth Route Army had just completed the second phase of the Hundred Regiments War and had no time to rest. The ammunition was consumed before it could be replenished, and the personnel were exhausted.

The first and second phases of the Eighth Route Army's Hundred Regiments Battle dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese, causing the face of the Japanese commander of the North China Front Army to completely fall into the toilet. Tada Jun was so angry that he mobilized a large number of military forces to enter the Taihang Mountains, and rushed to Wuxiang and Liao County, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the activity area center of the 129th Division. Theme - revenge! In particular, we must focus on the anti-Japanese active fortress villages in the base area and the command centers of the Eighth Route Army at all levels.

During this sweep, the Japanese soldiers' petty intestines were undoubtedly exposed, and the revenge was far beyond the imagination of the military and civilians in the base area. The Japanese soldiers fought all the way to carry out the "destruction sweep". Wherever the Japanese army went, they killed people, burned houses, and robbed grains. The base area was turned into scorched earth, and they wanted to scare the Chinese people's determination to fight against war with brutality, and the people suffered a great harm.

Mr. Peng led the headquarters and the Northern Bureau to fight to Shuanma in Licheng. Only after the Songjiazhuang area was settled, and a temporary command center was established.

As soon as the command system was established, he heard a telegram from Huangya Cave. The company stationed in Wengyu Gang a few days ago pursued the passing brigade of Japanese soldiers. Not only did they lose their troops, but they also almost bowed the enemy to the enemy. They were furious. Later, they heard that the remaining troops of the new 3rd Regiment, who had been dispersed, arrived at Huangya Cave in time and had already set up defenses, so they suppressed their anger a little.

On the afternoon of the 29th, General Peng rushed back to Shimen Village, Panlong Town, Wuxiang from Licheng. Along the way, General Peng saw the bloody scenes of various villages being murdered by the Japanese, and could no longer help but feel angry. He rushed to the station and threw away the big black mule. As soon as he entered the command post, General Peng waved his arms and roared, "Is it so great to kill and set fire? Chat, which Japanese soldiers passed by here and surrounded me, without leaving any one, kill all of them to avenge the people!"

The cruelty and tyranny of the Japanese army aroused the anger and hatred of General Peng and Chief of Staff Zuo and other Eighth Route Army leaders. They were preparing to find opportunities to eliminate one or two invading enemies and to attack their arrogance.

General Peng was furious, and the commander of the command post immediately took action. In a short while, the information came. It was the Okazaki Detachment, with a total of about 60 people, and was burned and killed all the way. Now it is near Guanjiawu. The fate of the Okazaki Detachment has been decided.

The battle in Guanjiadou is about to begin.

The battle in Guanjiadou was a battle that caused great controversy. To put it bluntly, it was a battle that was not worth the loss. Even Mr. Peng did not shy away from this in his future memoirs. If he lost, he would lose! Don’t hide it and put a gift on his face. But before the war, no one thought that it was an arduous battle.

Over the past few days, various intelligence gathered to show that almost all the sweeping troops dispatched by the Japanese army were under the specifications of dissatisfaction brigades, ranging from 5 to 600 to 1000, and each route was equipped with a small number of puppet troops as servants and sent-off ghosts.

Such troops with hundreds of people dared to rush around in the base area, which was a huge stimulation to General Peng. With the remaining power of the Hundred Regiments in the Battle, General Peng decided to eliminate small troops like one or two routes to force the Japanese to never dare to use this force to sweep the whole route, thus forcing the Japanese to carry out sweeps with large troops. In this way, the time for the Japanese to gather together would be extended, the gap between sweeps would be expanded, the results of the battle would be reduced, and the military and civilians in the base would have enough time to transfer.

During the battle of Guanjiadian, Mr. Peng went to the top of the trench controlled by the enemy for a close observation. When he reached the edge of the trench, held a telescope in his hand, and carefully observed the enemy's formation, reporter Xu Xiaobing took a picture of this historical moment. Mr. Peng's figure, focused expression, warrior's outfit, backed by simple fortifications, left people with a portrayal of the Eighth Route Army's arduous and heroic battle behind the enemy. This photo was widely published, transferred, cherished by people, and became the familiar image of Mr. Peng.

Now that General Peng has a lot of troops, it is also the basis for him to make up his mind to make this bold statement. At this time, the main force of the 129th Division, who had just participated in the Yuliao battle, happened to retreat to Panlong Town for rest and was caught by General Peng.

After calculation, General Peng estimated that the troops he could mobilize was three brigades and two regiments, and it should not be a problem to eat Okazaki Detachment, which was less than 60,000. It should be no problem. He was about to fight a happy battle, General Peng had already made up his mind.

While waiting for the chief officers at all levels in the command center, General Peng habitually squinted his eyes at the map hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back, pursed his lips, and constantly allocated combat power in his mind to improve his plan. Staff Fan Ming stood by the table, readying General Peng to ask about data at any time. General Peng drew a few strokes on the map with a pencil, staring at it for a long time, suddenly remembered something and asked the staff officer on the side, "Xiao Fan, please send Liu another telegram to Liu, asking him, the military manager, to give me some support, you just say, please give me more grenades or something."

Staff Officer Fan Ming immediately turned around.

"Oh, wait a minute, I heard from Liu Ding that there is a military engineer from the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces where he came?"

Fan Ming immediately turned around, "Yes, boss, you forgot. You told me a few days ago that Ma Qian from the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces was in great peace. He actually killed more than 80 Kwantung Army in one battle."

"Is he here?"

"It's him."

"Why are you here?"

"I heard from Minister Liu that he was improving the production of rocket launchers for the arsenal, and he also brought an expert as deputy chief engineer, who was sent by Comrade Ren BS."

"Oh? Bazooka? That thing is very useful. Ask Liu Ding, how much did it come out? Our troops have killed more than two months, and the original bazooka has almost been scrapped and the rockets have been used up. Just so, no matter what they want, I said, "It's time to use it tomorrow."

Fan Ming did not leave. He was waiting for President Peng’s next instructions. Seeing President Peng turn around and busy with his own affairs, he couldn’t help but inquire: “Do you want Comrade Ma to come? Didn’t you say you want to see him?”

Mr. Peng touched his forehead in confusion, "Have I said it? Oh, if he wants to see how the Eighth Route Army fights, let him come. If there is another task, let him be busy with his."

Ma Qian'an was awakened from the shock just now, thinking about the battle of Guan Jiawu. As a result, he knew it, and he didn't think about leaking information to the decision-maker, but then he thought, what to do, and he was impatient to live? This battle was an arrow on the string. Everyone thought that the Okazaki Detachment, which had 20,000 troops to eliminate more than 500 people, was pinched with a handful. At this time, you rushed to find General Peng, saying, General Peng, let's stop fighting, let's retreat, you will collapse. Isn't this asking for death? He must be given a flag by General Peng, who was angry, you don't understand General Peng's hot temper. I don't understand General Peng's hot temper. At the moment of the stalemate, Commander Liu saw that the casualties were great and the results were small, and he proposed to retreat. General Peng dared to slap the table, "Bang bang", "I can't take Guan Jiawu, I withdrew the number of the 129th Division, beheading no matter how big or small."

Ma Qian'an thought that he was not as generous as Commander Liu, and he had no reason to ask for trouble.

However, if the battle is inevitable, I can still help me a little. Ma Qian'an's eyes blinked and an idea came to his heart.

Ma Qian'anqiang suppressed his sleepiness and got up. He saw that it was already afternoon and was anxious. "I'll go, I'll definitely go. It's such a hot thing for the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese. I have to learn."

Liu Ding smiled, Comrade Xiao Ma was quite modest. But after a while, Liu Ding couldn't laugh. Xiao Ma Lion spoke up, and his appetite was too big. He actually wanted to take away the more than 100 newly produced rocket launchers, plus more than 1ooo rockets, more than 2,000 new grenades, and dozens of newly tied ** bags.

Although these weapons will eventually be provided to the Eighth Route Army, they should also be as planned. The assets were emptyed all at once, but there was no inventory and no raw materials. I don’t know when the next batch will be produced. If it is at this moment of gap, what should I do if there is an urgent need for the army? After all, the arsenal not only supplies troops near Guanjiadian. If the weapons are provided, then they will be taken out from the troops receiving the weapons? Are you not confused? Are you going to want them? Will the commander of the ghost spirit spit out the food? Liu Ding has no confidence at all.

"Is it necessary to do so much?" Liu Ding stared at Ma Qian'an suspiciously.

"I'm afraid it's not enough!" Ma Qian'an was unambiguous, "Warning a tough battle with a lack of heavy weapons is a river of blood, my brother."

Liu Ding narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a long time, then calculated, "Okay, okay, you are a famous general, listen to you. Leave two company guarding the urn corridors for me, and you can take the rest away."

Guanjiawu is more than 20 kilometers away, and the two places are mountainous roads. It is difficult to transport so many weapons and ammunition without hundreds of people. Liu Ding divided Jia Yonggen's troops into two, half guarding the arsenal, and half following Ma Qian'an to transport ammunition. The cavalry company went with him, and the war horses turned into pack horses. He left in the middle of the night and was expected to arrive at the east side of Guanjiawu by dawn.

Jia Yonggen was lucky to catch the last bus again and quickly transferred out the two newly-organized companies. Not only did everyone get a new gun, but each one also get a 50 bullet. Especially those soldiers carrying the rocket launcher were even more happy, and everyone was holding their energy to ask the Japanese for blood debts to pay off.

According to Liu Ding's order, the command of this "supply force" was handed over to Ma Qian'an.
