    Chapter 515 Eagle Strike (1)

    Zai Ren, who was at the Cangzhou headquarters, saw Xiang Yue Qingsi's report to the base camp. He was silent for a long time, somewhat dumbfounded. This old friend was so kind. He made it clear that he would top the tank with him. However, the two of them  He is a grasshopper tied on a thread. He who loses Xiangyue Qingji will not look good in his face.

    Xiangyue Qingsi's point of view was very much accepted by Zai Ren. If Tang Qiuli had not mobilized troops from the southern Songhu battlefield to the north, the Battle of Dezhou would never have been fought like this. In fact, it was indeed a major factor. Therefore, Zai Ren  In the name of the Chief of General Staff, from an overall perspective, he also wrote a report to the base camp, detailing the current situation on the North China battlefield and the countermeasures to be taken. Among them, there were many clever excuses for his old friend Xiang Yue Qingji, and there were certain reasons.  The cause of the defeat pointed directly to the southern front troops.

    As for how the Japanese base camp viewed and handled the Battle of North China, it is unknown. Anyway, they knew one result. This time, they did not take advantage of it, but had a few teeth knocked out.

    There were three major battles in the North China battlefield in the direction of Texas. Initially, Liu Tiehan's East Point troops were on the defensive across the board. After receiving reinforcements, they finally pushed the Japanese troops back to the Cangzhou line. The surviving Japanese soldiers had no match for the combat power and strength of the ** division troops.  Firepower, with a deeper understanding.

    When talking about the mountainous battlefield, the Chinese aircraft that can set fire from the sky still have an earthy look on their faces. In front of them are the sight of their companions covered in fire, screaming and wailing. There is still a lingering smell of burning in the nostrils. When talking about the rescue of the 15th Division  The battle between the regiment, the 18th Division, and the Xiaoshan Brigade left them even more frightened. In their words, the artillery fire of the Chinese Communist Army turned half the sky red, and Texas became a lingering memory in the minds of hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers.  nightmare.

    Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiusheng, and Li Honggang were not very satisfied with the results of this battle. If the Japanese army did not come with 150,000 reinforcements, the number of enemies wiped out would far exceed the current number. They made a new plan and prepared to divide their troops.  The troops, marching westward to attack Shijiazhuang, directly made dumplings for the Japanese attack on Niangziguan, which could be used to relieve the siege of Niangziguan, and also mobilize the mountain passes deep into the Taihang Mountain base area to return reinforcements.

    However, Tang Qiuli knew very well that in the current North China battlefield, the total strength of the Japanese army still exceeded his own. If he attacked Shijiazhuang, it would be a decisive battle with the Japanese army. If he did not eliminate the effective strength of the Japanese army, its strength would be equal to or slightly lower than his own.  Our own strength does not meet the conditions for a decisive battle. Moreover, the one million Kwantung Army in the Northeast can enter the border for reinforcements at any time.

    Therefore, the battle report reported to the Dezhou Campaign Command stated, "Although the Battle of Dezhou only cut off the tail of the Japanese army, it still had enough meat and was a great victory. The current situation is not suitable for a new offensive.  In order to stabilize the current front line, Li Honggang's regiment can return to the Taihang Mountains as soon as possible to participate in the battle to attack the Japanese troops at Yamaguchi. Remember, it must be safe in the Texas battlefield before returning to the Taihang Mountains. The specific return time will be awaited by the division commander.  "

    The three battlefields where fireworks and flesh were everywhere made Tang Qiuli feel relieved. He could concentrate on dealing with Shankou, the evil wolf that broke into the Taihang Mountain base.

    At the end of November, Tang Qiuli led the replenished Ma Chaoyang Brigade and Jiang Yanming Brigade, together with an artillery regiment, secretly left the Huangyadong base area and went out to the Xiying area to gather in hiding and look for fighters. Mei Ting's shadow was still in his heart.  Maybe, this is the result of the short-tempered hero and the long-lasting love between his son and his daughter?

    Before leaving, he said goodbye to Mei Ting. Mei Ting knew that her husband was going to war again, and she gave her many instructions and instructions, nagging like a little woman. Perhaps, another narrow escape from death made her cherish everything she had now. In the end, regardless of  Tang Qiuli tried to stop her, but she used her hands that could barely move to adjust Tang Qiuli's military uniform. With such a simple movement, Mei Ting was sweating profusely, which made Tang Qiuli feel distressed. She kissed his wife gently on her forehead.  After resolutely turning around and leaving, Mei Ting stared at her husband's back for a long time.

    Running wildly through the mountain pass deep in the Taihang Mountains is more troublesome than anyone else. Ever since the battle at Qinquan and the bombing in Sucheng, there has been no news about Tang Qiuli. He has disappeared from the world and is nowhere to be seen this time.  He was even more thorough, not even a single Chinese civilian was encountered, and the only ones left gasping for air were rats.

    Yamaguchi was puzzled. Tang Qiuli, with tens of thousands of troops, just allowed himself to set fire to his lair and sit back and watch. This was not his style. This Chinese devil must be hiding in a corner, peeking.  For himself, he put his face on the map every day and looked at it countless times with a magnifying glass, but he just couldn't determine the exact location, even if there was a little strange smell.

    It just so happened that at this time, the Commander-in-Chief issued an order for the troops to pass through the Taihang Mountains and attack Taiyuan within seven days. Yamaguchi looked at the top-secret telegram marked with three "a"s and almost cursed out loud. Are you kidding me?  Don't you, Commander, know the terrain of the Taihang Mountains in North China?

    Not to mention looking for traces of Tang Qiuli, even if he doesn't fight, he won't be able to escape in seven daysThis damn mountainous area, not to mention there are so many heavily equipped troops, four cavalry regiments are fine, but with more than 10,000 cavalry, can they fight against Taiyuan?  Yamaguchi shook his head repeatedly. As for the news that other battlefields were not going well, Yamaguchi, as the chief of staff of the North China Expeditionary Force, knew very well that the commander was in a difficult situation and was eager to break the deadlock, so he planned to raid Taiyuan. This also showed that he was dissatisfied with his current performance.  , almost losing patience.

    Yamaguchi was also anxious. Unless he found the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, he would never know what he was doing. He always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from a corner. He might pounce out at some point and bite him hard.  It became clearer that there was not much time left for me, only seven days, and there was still more than a thousand miles to go from Taiyuan, most of which was in mountainous areas.

    Yamaguchi decided to change his deployment and expand the search area. In this way, the distance between the Japanese army's brigades was widened. The five fingers that were originally close together turned into open palms. It seemed that the coverage area expanded several times, but during this period  The gap reaches more than ten kilometers. This is the distance on the map. If it is placed on the ground, it is more than this, not to mention it is still in a mountainous area.

    After Tang Qiuli got the information, he felt excited. Yamaguchi finally revealed a flaw and a favorable fighter opportunity finally appeared. However, how to fight this battle still made him think a lot. Generally speaking, the enemy is stronger and we are weaker. Once the attacking troops are defeated  Once entangled, it would be difficult to escape. He considered several tactics, but none were satisfactory.

    The north wind has stopped, the sky is covered with thick clouds, and snowflakes are flying in an instant. Unlike the blizzard in the Northeast, which is so dense that you can't open your eyes and breathe, and you are shocked by the power of heaven and earth. The snow in the Taihang Mountains is almost transparent, light and  After falling, Tang Qiuli walked out of the warm house. The air in the snow made him smell the smell of his hometown. He stretched out his hand, and the snowflakes quietly fell into his palms and melted instantly. If it weren't for the coolness of his palms, he wouldn't be able to feel the lightness.  Snowflakes, past contact.

    He cast his gaze into the distance. A black spot rose into the sky from a distant mountain peak and gradually approached. It was a mountain eagle, circling in the sky. Its majestic and vigorous posture attracted Tang Qiuli's eyes. Suddenly,  The mountain eagle shot straight to the ground like a sharp arrow from the sky, and in an instant, it swung upward again, seemingly grabbing its prey under its sharp talons.

    Tang Qiuli suddenly understood. He thought of a tactic, which was to use the speed advantage of the cavalry to suddenly attack the Japanese army. No matter what the outcome of the battle, they would be gone in one hit. Then he would attach infantry units to the second assault, and they would be gone in one hit.  Never be reluctant to fight. When the Japanese reinforcements arrive, it will be too late to pursue them. If the tactics are right, you won¡¯t even be able to see the shadow of the troops. Yes, just do it.

    He returned to the headquarters excitedly and shared his thoughts. Everyone was very interested and made a lot of additions. Yu Guanghan, the Chief of Staff, called this strategy "Eagle Strike".  At high altitude, with the intention of suddenly attacking the prey, the first and second cavalry brigades, a total of eight regiments, were accompanied by eight regiments each of the ** second brigade and Huangyadong garrison brigade. The infantry and cavalry were combined to form eight eagles.  The attack force was divided into large groups as units and the Japanese troops searching everywhere were the combat targets.

    Each Eagle Attack Unit will find its own targets for annihilation. There is no limit to the geographical area. There is only one principle. One strike is all it takes to get away. Never be too lazy to fight. It is advisable to end the battle within thirty minutes. Tang Qiuli issued the instructions to each Eagle Attack Unit.  In the combat order, it was emphasized that the pre-war reconnaissance of the enemy's situation must be meticulous. If the situation is unclear, it is better to give up the battle and find another fighter. After the war, the evaluation criteria will be based on the number of Japanese troops annihilated by each unit and the losses of the units themselves.

    Deep in the Taihang Mountains, Matian Town is close to the Qingzhang River. It is a mountain town with less than a hundred households. When the Japanese Aoki Brigade occupied this place, the residents had long been evacuated, the wells were filled with soil, and all basic living facilities were destroyed.  The houses with open doors and windows could not even block the cold wind.

    The Japanese soldiers dragged their tired footsteps into the small town. They were already numb. Since entering the Taihang Mountains, this situation has appeared in every village and town. Don't even think of finding a grain of food in the Taihang Mountains. The Japanese soldiers spent a lot of money.  It took a lot of effort to dig a well and bring in water. The hungry and thirsty Japanese soldiers swarmed up to moisten their thirsty and smoking throats.

    The eager soldier grabbed the water and drank it. After he drank it, he felt a strange taste in his mouth. Looking closely at the kettle in his hand, there were many floating objects in the water, and there seemed to be a few pieces that had changed color.  Vegetable leaves had a stinky, very familiar smell. He suddenly remembered that he had to excrete this stuff every day.

    He threw away the kettle with a bang and shouted loudly: "There is shit in the water." After saying that, his stomach couldn't control the turmoil. The water he just drank gushes out from his hungry stomach, swallowing up the almost digested lunch.  , was also brought out.

    This voice reminded other Japanese soldiers who felt that the taste was wrong. Nausea was a normal reaction. Gastric juice mixed with feces water spurted out from the mouth and nostrils, almost vomiting out the stomach. Oops.  , next to the well platform, a slip of sunThe soldiers lined up in horizontal lines and vomited until they were dizzy, their ears were ringing, and their eyes were filled with stars.
