Chapter 191
As long as Shijiazhuang was attacked, the defenders from Taiyuan would inevitably start to reinforce Shijiazhuang along the Zhengtai Line by trucks, horses, etc. In this way, the terrain of the entire Zhengtai Line provided too many places to ambush and block the enemy.
What remains now is for the 14th Division and the 5th Division in Handan and Xingtai to discuss how to lure the Japanese army further south.
After everyone discussed it, since rocket launchers could not be used on a large scale this time, they simply dismantled one rocket launcher and sent it to the Second Military Sub-district to attack Anyang.
At present, a regiment of the 14th Division is stationed in Anyang. After the Second Column attacks Anyang, the 14th Division will inevitably send troops to support Anyang. As long as the Japanese reinforcements and the regiment in Anyang are eliminated, the 14th Division will most likely be dispatched to Anyang.
Once the 14th Division moves, whether it is fully deployed or leaving a regiment to guard Handan, the 5th Division in Xingtai will have to send troops to help the 14th Division replenish the missing troops in Handan. Then the 3rd and 4th columns can completely attack and harass Xingtai and Handan.
After Shijiazhuang was attacked, when the two divisions went north to reinforce, they could completely rely on the terrain in western Hebei. The 5th and 6th columns successively blocked the enemy along the Lincheng-Zanhuang line.
By the time we arrived in Shijiazhuang, I'm afraid that Shijiazhuang had already been captured and the supplies had been emptied and evacuated.
After determining the general combat plan for the southern Hebei region, everyone had a rough idea in mind.
What followed was the combat plan for the 7th Column and the Ji Zhong Independent Detachment to join forces with the main force of the Jin-Cha-Ji Fourth Military Sub-district to attack Shijiazhuang.
目前晋察冀四分区一共九个主力团和两个警备团，此次除开面对日军秋季扫荡，需出动两个警备团和21、22、23、24、27、29团，剩下三个团16、17、18和北岳区的1、2、3团加上晋察冀军区直属的一个炮兵团，此次派到太南第七军分区作为攻打石家庄的参战部队。
While the Japanese army in North China was conducting a mopping-up operation and deploying troops in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region, the six regiments and artillery regiment of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei also began to secretly move towards the Seventh Division of the Tainan Military Region.
After the meeting, Huang Hanjia and Deng Xie will immediately rush to the Seventh District to coordinate the cooperation between the two forces. At the same time, they will bring heavy weapons, artillery and ammunition produced by military factories to strengthen the strength of the six regiments that are sieging the city of Jin-Cha-Ji.
Considering that Shijiazhuang was the Japanese army's transit supply base, a forced attack would undoubtedly cause heavy casualties to the troops.
Since the Japanese army captured Shijiazhuang, they have been strengthening the defense of Shijiazhuang. A large number of bunkers and other military facilities have been built throughout the periphery in order to prevent heavy attacks by the Chinese army.
At present, except for some small and medium-sized cities, the entire Eighth Route Army is undoubtedly very lacking in siege and street fighting. Only the Tainan Military Region is a little better. With the recent recovery battle in southeastern Shanxi, the 389th Division has accumulated a lot of experience in siege and street fighting.
However, the effect on Shijiazhuang is not very significant at present. After all, the previous county defense was not as strong as Shijiazhuang.
Therefore, when attacking Shijiazhuang this time, we must think of a good way to capture Shijiazhuang quickly and unexpectedly, otherwise when the Japanese reinforcements arrive, it will be a fierce battle.
So everyone thought of the previous attack on Yangquan. The special operations brigade sneaked into Yangquan, and the New 1st Regiment used artillery fire from the outside to attract the attention of the Japanese troops defending the city, killed the Japanese command center inside the city, and then cooperated with the siege troops to capture the city gate in the chaos.
This method can be slightly modified to deal with the garrison troops in Shijiazhuang at that time.
