"The Eighth Route Army, what is this up to?" In Datong City, various news kept coming. Harem Chun, the commander stationed in Datong, stared coldly at the scene outside the city in the dark night. Occasionally, there would be lights, indicating that the battle there was very fierce.
In front of Jun Harem were Shigetoku Kuroda, the commander of the 26th Division, and Shigetoshi Baiyin, the chief of staff. Thinking of the sudden change, their night was no longer quiet.
Among the defenders of Datong, the 26th Division is the main force. This division came from the establishment of the 11th Brigade in October 1934 in the devil's country. It initially administered the 11th and 12th Independent Infantry Regiments and special forces. After the establishment, it belonged to the Kwantung Army. Later, when the July 7th Incident broke out, the devils decided to increase their troops. A large number of troops were transferred from the Kwantung Army. On September 30, 1937, the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade was expanded into the 26th in Datong Division, this division is in charge of guarding from Zhangjiakou to Datong and the areas west and south. It can be said that since its establishment, this division has always been the main force stationed in Datong. At the same time, this division and the devils before The two-two system of divisions is different. He is the first time the devils have tried the "three units", that is, the establishment of three infantry regiments. It can be said that the scale is not small and the combat effectiveness is strong.
However, the command organization of the little devil is still a bit bloated. The 26th Division has a 26th Infantry Regiment, and then the 26th Infantry Regiment will command the next independent infantry regiment under it, which leads to complicated command. Therefore, After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the establishment of the infantry regiment with the same number as the division was removed, and the commander of the division directly commanded the subordinate infantry regiment.
Now, there is an extra level of command organization, which is not useless. It is equivalent to saving the commander. For example, the current division commander Shigetoku Kuroda took office last year. He did not become a division commander. Before becoming a commander, he was the commander of the 26th Infantry Regiment. It can be said that as long as he can stay in the position of the regiment commander and there are no problems, he will be promoted to the division commander in the future.
Now, something has gone wrong. This is a major challenge to their 26th Division. The Datong area, which has never had any wars, suddenly had a huge change this night!
The 26th Division has a large establishment, but at the same time, the area they defend is relatively large, so now, the defenders in Datong City are mainly the Independent 11th Infantry Wing, the Independent 12th Infantry Wing, and the 13th Infantry Wing. They are stationed in Zhangjiakou and the railway line along the way, and their defense area is almost adjacent to the Pingxi base.
Now, fierce fighting is going on in the coal mine outside.
"We have assembled the 11th Independent Infantry Regiment. They are setting off quickly to the mining area. If the Eighth Route Army appears, Grand Master Chida Sadao will definitely defeat the Eighth Route Army!" Hearing Harem Jun's question, Kuroda Shigetoku Said there seriously.
The reaction of the devils was very quick. As soon as they received the news, the 11th Regiment had already been assembled and headed towards the mining area. They were stationed here and there had been no fighting. They were already suffocated. This time the Eighth Route Army dared to provoke them. For them, this was simply a good opportunity for them to come to their door.
"How big is the Eighth Route Army?" Harem Jun did not have the self-confidence of Kuroda Shigetoku. Now, Harem Jun listened to Kuroda Shigetoku's words and looked at the movement of the mining area outside, with a serious expression on his face.
Eighth Route Army, how many people are here? What level of battle do you plan to fight?
For a long time, the Eighth Route Army has been fighting guerrilla warfare. They will run away when they fight, and they will not fight tough battles at all. Therefore, it is difficult for them to catch the Eighth Route Army. If it grows, the losses will add up.
This kind of tactics of the Eighth Route Army made the devils exhausted. Therefore, after a large number of troops return to aid and consolidate the rule of the occupied area, the devils will continue to build artillery towers and strongholds, and gradually eat away at the base of the Eighth Route Army, near Datong. The base areas of the Eighth Route Army were suppressed by them and retreated in a row.
Under such circumstances, the Eighth Route Army actually took the initiative to launch a tough battle and ran over to attack their coal mines? This matter, it seems that it is not so simple!
Could it be that the Eighth Route Army gave up that kind of guerrilla warfare that hides and hides, and started to fight positional warfare with them? If this is the case, it is good news for them!
Thinking of this, Harem Chun said: "Only the 11th Regiment is not enough."
The devil's regiment has a lot of establishments. An independent infantry regiment has three or four thousand people. Now, Harem Chun is still not enough? Even Shigetoku Kuroda felt a little surprised: "General, if it is not enough, we will put our firstThe 12th Infantry Regiment was also sent up. "
In this case, they are equivalent to the main force. The little devil's combat effectiveness is very strong. He often wins more with less and can fight tough battles. They have sent an alliance, which is supposed to be more than enough. Now, after hearing that the harem Chun said that it was not enough, Kuroda Shigetoku did not hesitate, and immediately suggested sending out all the troops at hand.
"No, the 12th Regiment must protect the safety of Datong City." Shigetoku Kuroda said, "Send troops from the Datong Police Department over there, add some more manpower, and we must not let an Eighth Route Army go!"
Of course, there are not only devils in Datong¡¯s guarding forces. Apart from the 26th Division, there are also a large number of puppet troops. It's a police uniform, but it's still regular army work.
"Yes." Hearing the arrangement of Harem Chun, Chief of Staff Bai Yin Chonger replied, and hurried down to convey the order.
"Guards? Those people will only hinder the imperial army when they go over." Kuroda Shigetoku was not satisfied with Harem Jun's arrangement. In his eyes, the combat effectiveness of those puppet troops was really poor, and they couldn't stand up at all. to a positive effect.
"The Eighth Route Army, if they dare to attack our coal mines, they must suffer heavy losses and let them know that Datong Coal Mine is their forbidden zone!"
"Report!" At this moment, Funato Higashi, the captain of the communication team, ran in with an anxious face: "Our ammonium nitrate manufacturing factory was taken down by the Eighth Route Army!"
"What?" Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
