    Chapter 637 Blocking the Supply Line

    Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps used large-caliber artillery in repeated battles with the Japanese army outside Shijiazhuang, smashing the crazy attack of a Japanese armored brigade in one fell swoop, wiping out the entire Japanese army. This completely wiped out the Japanese army.  The Shijiazhuang frontline commander was completely hurt by the beating and hurriedly stopped. More than 10,000 Japanese soldiers could never return to their island country and died in a foreign country.

    Tang Qiuli was very happy about the results achieved in the battle for the outskirts of Shijiazhuang. He issued a general commendation to all the soldiers of the Sulu Mobile Corps. His victory was the pain of the enemy. The news of repeated defeats in the battle outside Shijiazhuang reached North China, who was commanding the sweep in the Taihang Mountains.  Where was the commander of the dispatched army, Okamura Neiji? Okamura Neiji was extremely angry. The entire chariot brigade was wiped out beyond his expectation. He was so distressed that he almost vomited blood. This was his preparation for severely injuring Tang Qiuli in the central Hebei plain.  A weapon prepared by the teacher.

    He is mobilizing his troops to encircle Huangyadong. The troops scattered across the Taihang Mountains will take a certain amount of time to gather back. What's more, the troops have to deal with the constant harassment of the ** division troops like flies, which makes him even more  What is alarming is that a new unit was discovered in the Taihang Mountains. It was designated as the Eighth Route Army of the National Government and belonged to the armed forces under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.

    This unit is even more troublesome for Okamura Neiji. Their combat methods are completely different from the style of the Japanese Army. They are also very different from the Central Army. The colors of their uniforms are also different, and the weapons they are equipped with are messy.  This troop poses the greatest threat to the various imperial armies. The entangled troops are restless and exhausted day and night. The fighting consciousness of their soldiers is not inferior to that of the troops of the Imperial Army. Neji Okamura is sensitively aware that this troop  , will become another powerful enemy of the imperial army in North China in addition to Tang Qiuli's First Division troops.

    Okamura Neiji was reluctant to get hold of the extremely valuable strategic target, and decided to completely eliminate Tang Qiuli's supply base regardless of the dangerous situation in Shijiazhuang and the Pingjin area. He sent an order to the Pingjin garrison to organize another division and reinforce it.  On the Shijiazhuang battlefield, after several days of fierce fighting, the empire's troops were extremely depleted and were not enough to launch a fierce offensive. They had to increase their troops. Otherwise, it was still a question whether they could hold on until they could return to the division.

    At the same time, an order was given to the troops attacking Niangziguan to seize Niangziguan as quickly as possible, cut off the troops on the periphery of Shijiazhuang, and retreat into Shanxi. Since Tang Qiuli dared to take the risk of placing a large number of troops in central Hebei  The plan to seize Niangziguan is to force the Japanese division troops outside Shijiazhuang to evacuate. In this way, the crisis in Shijiazhuang and Pingjin can be easily solved. This is the Japanese version of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao", Okamura Ning  This is the first time that the ancient Chinese strategy has been used on the Chinese battlefield. Is there any suspicion of trying to do what is best for others?

    Okamura Neiji still had a sharp sword in his hand. The newly formed North China Dispatch Army Air Force, with more than 300 aircraft, was an unrivaled force in the skies of Northern China. He gave the order to the air force to bomb the air force.  , constantly bombing the *** division positions outside Shijiazhuang. What is not available on the ground must be obtained from the air.

    Not only that, he specifically emphasized in his order to the air force that Tang Qiuli's supply base in the Taihang Mountains was already surrounded by the imperial army and it was impossible to provide necessary logistical support. There were hundreds of thousands of troops outside Shijiazhuang.  Troops, where do the large amounts of ammunition and supplies consumed every day come from?  Once we find it, we will completely cut off the logistics supply line of the ** division at any cost.

    It must be admitted that Okamura Neiji is a very smart senior Japanese general. He realized that the supplies and ammunition consumed by large corps in battle must be completed by a smooth supply line, and cutting off the opponent's supply line will undoubtedly be the cause of this battle.  The key to victory in the battle.

    Japanese aircraft began to take off frequently. Starting on April 6, the positions of the Sulu Mobile Corps were raided by Japanese aircraft. Thirty-eight Japanese aircraft took off from Peiping and Tianjin airports to perform the task of bombing the forward positions of the ** Division.  Immediately, the air defense brigade and air defense regiments of each brigade attached to the corps launched a fierce counterattack. For a whole day, the fighting on the ground basically stopped. In the blue sky, in addition to the howling of Japanese aircraft, there was the smoke of anti-aircraft shells.  group.

    The battle ended in the evening, when the Japanese army abandoned more than a dozen aircraft and hurriedly withdrew its troops. The Sulu Mobile Corps suffered slight losses. The experienced air defense forces changed their deployment according to the direction of the Japanese aircraft's attack. The next day, more Japanese troops  Planes swarmed from the sky like locusts. This time, the Japanese planes did not take advantage. What awaited them were artillery shells exploding in the sky, anti-aircraft machine gun bullets like fire whips, and the "Sky Eye" artillery sighting radar showing off its power.  More than thirty Japanese aircraft turned into fireworks in the sky, and more of them dragged black smoke and fled away into the distance whining.

    The huge losses horrified the commander of the Japanese Air Force and hurriedly ordered all aircraft to evacuate the war zone and return to the airport. Okamura Neiji tried to use aerial bombs to blow up the Sulu Mobile Corps position.The law was bankrupt. After the nightmare experience over Shijiazhuang, the Japanese aircraft no longer dared to bomb in large groups. At most, they used a few planes to make a sneak attack, dropped a bomb, and ran away. Despite this, they were still attacked.  More than half of the Sulu Mobile Corps' anti-aircraft fire was left behind.

    After that, the attention of the Japanese Air Force in North China shifted to blocking the transportation lines of the Japanese Army. The transportation and supply line established by Zhou Yushan from Dingbian through Shijiazhuang, the capital of Taiyuan, was immediately targeted by the Japanese Air Force. Japanese pilots were happy to do it.  Such a job, a long transportation line, no anti-aircraft fire exploding all over the sky, chasing a car on the road, turning him into a ball of fire, watching the Chinese soldiers scream in the fire, there is no safer and more exciting task than this  .

    Zhou Yushan's transportation headquarters had all daytime transportation restricted. On the most day, thirty-nine vehicles were blown up, two to three hundred tons of ammunition and supplies were lost, and more than five hundred casualties were caused. The amount of ammunition transported to the front line dropped sharply.  What I have experienced is that the frontline troops of the Sulu Mobile Corps can no longer fight any kind of lavish battles. The firepower density has been reduced by half, but the Japanese attack has increased in intensity.

    Especially the artillery, the supply of artillery shells was limited. The Japanese artillery, which was suppressed and could not lift its head, became more confident again and dared to provide artillery support to the attacking Japanese infantry. The situation encountered by the troops outside Shijiazhuang was quickly reported to Tang Dynasty.  Where Qiu Li was, what he worried about still happened.

    It was only a matter of time that the Huangyadong base area was discovered by the Japanese army. Three brigades of troops had been deployed there, and the division chief of staff Chang Feng was personally commanded. With the difficult terrain and permanent and complete reinforced concrete fortifications, the Japanese army did not need to  In the past two years, I couldn't eat anything at all, so I didn't worry about anything.

    Only the transportation and supply lines worried him. He didn't expect that Okamura Neiji would think of this very soon. He was really a cunning guy. The Japanese troops attacking Niangziguan were made difficult by the Eighth Route Army and Sun Zhenbang's troops. They lost their temper and were uncertain.  At some point, a series of landmines will suddenly explode on the calm road. The progress can only be ten kilometers per day. When camping, you don't know when you will be hit by a bullet or grenade fired in the dark.

    According to the marching speed of the Japanese army, no one in ten days or eight days can't climb Guanshan. There is no need to worry about this direction. There is a plan that Tang Qiuli has been unable to make up his mind about, which is to use the air force of Japanese teacher Le Yiqin.  Breaking the blockade of supply lines by Japanese aircraft requires taking great risks. The Japanese army has more than 300 aircraft in North China, and Le Yiqin only has less than 40 aircraft. The difference in strength is too great. He dare not take advantage of his old enemy.  I was going to make a bet. If he lost all his money, it would affect his future plans.

    Now, what Tang Qiuli is holding is the letter of challenge from Le Yiqin, Liu Cuigang and all the pilots. Ever since Japanese aircraft began to join the Shijiazhuang battlefield, Le Yiqin and the others have been staying in the radar room every day, looking at the display.  Each bright spot representing the Japanese aircraft appeared, and then they ran towards the fighter plane, dressed neatly, waiting for the order from the division commander to attack.

    Every day, the planes are filled with fuel and bombs, and parked on the takeoff line to be ready. The mechanics keep the planes almost spotless, and the pilots are gearing up even more, holding back their energy, hoping that God will teach the little devil a lesson.  After waiting for three days, there was no movement at all. The division commander seemed to have forgotten that there was a group of people with wings who were anxious to go to the battlefield.

    Le Yiqin and the others couldn't bear it any longer. Several squadron leaders got together to discuss and decided that they should take the initiative to ask for a fight. The division commander cherished us too much and was reluctant to let us go to the battlefield. Waiting like this was not the answer. Everyone brainstormed and wrote an impassioned letter.  The letter of challenge, which was full of emotions, came into Tang Qiuli's hands, but it also posed a problem for him.

    The aviation force's letter of challenge was held in hand for two days, but the situation on the transportation and supply line from Dingbian to Shijiazhuang became increasingly serious. The Japanese aircraft, which had not suffered any attacks, arbitrarily attacked Zhou Yushan's transportation convoy between Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang.  The air defense firepower assigned to the transportation command headquarters cannot cover hundreds of kilometers of transportation lines at all.

    A single Japanese aircraft dared to fight against a transport convoy. What was even more serious was that two Japanese aircraft actually crossed the Yellow River and entered the air defense fire control range of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone. Although they were expelled, they were also  A signal was enough to arouse Tang Qiuli's vigilance. Dingbian would become a key target of the Japanese North China Air Force. Once the city fell into endless air defense, all normal order in Dingbian would be disrupted.

    The various military-industrial enterprises that support the army's operations will be greatly affected. As the strategic rear of all frontline combat units of the ** Division, the position of the fixed border is undoubtedly extremely important. This unexpected incident prompted Tang Qiuli to make up his mind to use the  The only air power attracted the sight and attention of the Japanese North China Air Force to the airspace around Pingjin.

    Before Tang Qiuli issued combat orders to the air force, in order to ensure the safety of Jinan Airport, he transferred an air defense brigade.?Strengthen the ground air defense firepower around Jinan. After the air defense troops are in place, an order will be issued to the Jinan Airport Air Force Division.
