Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

With the cooperation of the third cavalry division, Guo Junjie, who also knew that the column would launch a counterattack, almost calculated the advancing speed and location of the Japanese infantry brigade.Always send two regiments of infantry and follow them covertly.

The third cavalry division acts as a patrol guard, and usually only needs to pay attention to the little devil's reconnaissance plane.The actions of their two main regiments, the Japanese infantry brigade not far from them, could not be discovered at all.

It can be said that the closer the infantry brigade got to Wuchuan, the more power they lost.As for the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry who cooperated in the battle, they had basically been exhausted to guard the infantry brigade all the way.

Cavalry against cavalry, cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas cooperated with the elite detachments of the New Fifth Division.It can be said that the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry division, which cooperated with the No. 20 Fourth Infantry Brigade, suffered a lot by means of a storm or lure.

After receiving the order from He Zhengdao, Guo Junjie, who immediately convened a meeting with the main team leaders, raised the telegram in his hand and said with a smile: "Comrades, we are waiting for the order to counterattack! This time, our fifth division will also fight It's an uphill battle.

According to the order sent by the commander, the main task of our division this time is to stop the little devil brigade we have been staring at.During this period of time, we have revolved around them, and now we can finally fight them head-on.

In the past, each and every one of you wanted to be the main commander of the first-line troops, but now you finally have the chance, I hope you don't let me lose the chain.Even if the next battle will be very difficult, but I hope the victory will belong to us in the end.

If it was in a battle, that regiment dropped the chain for me and let the little devil go.At that time, don't say that the commander won't let you off lightly, even I won't let you off.To delete the new word in front of the fifth division, you all have to cheer me up.

What's more, now including me, there is still a temporary substitute in front of our position.This means that if you want to become the head of the main regiment of the real front-line troops, including me as the division commander, you must hand over a good news that satisfies the Party Central Committee. "

Considering that the new fifth division was first established, although all units were directly drawn from the garrison regiment.But compared to other main forces, these reorganized troops used to be garrison troops, and there were not many opportunities to participate in battles.

Even when forming the new Fifth Division, He Zhengdao recruited a group of excellent battalion and company commanders from the teaching regiment established in Yulin to add to the Fifth Division.But the time for the troops to run in is not too long after all.

In order to put some pressure on these army commanders, the whole division, including the division commander Guo Junjie, kept the word "temporary generation" in front of their positions.Even the fifth division is also the new fifth division of the independent column.

If they want to become an independent column, a real fifth infantry division, they also need to show military exploits that satisfy the column, the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army headquarters.If they want to cancel the word of temporary loan before the post, they also need to give actual military achievements.

Listening to Guo Junjie's words, the main group leaders who came to the meeting naturally knew that this battle was the test He Zhengdao gave them.Those who failed to complete the tasks assigned to them might be taken down by the newly promoted team leader.

Those who can go up, those who can't go down, has always been the promotion principle that He Zhengdao instilled in the commanders of the army!In the independent column, if you want to get a chance to be promoted, you must show convincing military exploits.

Officers who get something for nothing, or who want to be promoted through crooked ways, will never have a bright future.The promotion of any officer will be announced in advance.Those who have different opinions can also respond to their superiors.

It is precisely because of this promotion rule that many soldiers who join the independent column hope to develop in the army.If they can be promoted to officers, they can be regarded as having an iron rice bowl, and they can also be regarded as having a chance to make a name for themselves.

Seeing these main regiment leaders with firm expressions, Guo Junjie continued: "This time our Fifth Division, in addition to holding back this little devil in front of us, we must also find a way to annihilate it, so that it knows what it means to come and go. .

In this battle, in addition to our fifth division, the third cavalry division will also cooperate with us.Even according to the commander's order, after we have eliminated this little devil, we will continue to expand the base area to the Chahar area.

Some of you, like me, are from the Northeast.If we can expand our troops to Chahar, it means that we will be closer to the northeast of our hometown.In the near future, perhaps we will be able to truly enter the Northeast and fight.

Therefore, there is no room for error in this battle.After the chief of staff announced the order, each regiment gave me the order and conveyed it to every soldier.If you can't fight this battle well, don't say that you are a member of the first-line army in the future, you know? "

'Yes, sir!Guaranteed to complete the mission! '

Along with the chief of staff of the new fifth division, he read out the combat plan formulated by the division headquarters.The two main regiments that had been tracking the No.20 Fourth Brigade began to build blocking fortifications a little far away from the Japanese army.

The cavalry unit that cooperated with them also began to harass the infantry brigade at close range.In this situation, the No. 20 Fourth Brigade, which had been hoping to fight against the Eighth Route Army, knew that they were finally going to face the Eighth Route Army head-on.

It's just that what these little devils don't know is that at this moment, around them, guerrillas are rapidly laying mines.The rest of the infantry regiments that received the mission also began to reduce the marching distance of the Little Devils Brigade.

When the reconnaissance cavalry detachment in charge of reconnaissance of the enemy's situation informed the brigade that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had appeared on all sides, the brigade leader in charge suddenly realized that they were surrounded.And the situation is far worse than they imagined.

Originally, I thought about using the tank wing in my hand to attack the blocking position temporarily built by the Eighth Route Army.As a result, these attacking tanks, like the tanks in Zhuozi, were destroyed by the rocket launchers assigned to the fifth division.

The trump card failed, and it gave the head of the Japanese army brigade, who was still high-spirited before, a blow to the head.And as the Eighth Route Army continued to compress their combat distance, the number of blocking troops increased, and he finally chose to ask the division for help.

It's just that Seitaro, who is in the mountain village outside Zhuozi City at this moment, finally realized the difficulties of the North China Front Army.They are not far away from the No.20 Fourth Infantry Brigade, but they still feel helpless that 'far water cannot save near fire'.

Originally, I wanted to join the main infantry brigade of this division, but now it seems that No. 20 Fourth Infantry Brigade wants to break through the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, which is something worth considering at the beginning.

'Bageya Road!These eight routes, where did you find so many troops?Ask for help, do we have reinforcements to send now? '

Yamamura Kiyotaro, who himself suffered from a shortage of infantry, still knew that it was impossible to ask for help from the No. 20 Fourth Brigade of Infantry.But this telegram finally made him decide to withdraw troops.

I thought about it before, and the plan to go to the border of Wuchuan to join the brigade was basically abolished with a telegram.Then the road ahead of the No.12 Division of the Japanese Army, I am afraid that the only way is to join the Japanese army in Datong.

Just following the garrison in Ulanqab, they sent a request for help to the North China Front Army, saying that the main force of the Eighth Route Army began to push into Ulanqab, and hoped that the Front Army could send troops to support it.

The rescue here has not yet been resolved, and a large number of main forces of the Eighth Route Army have also been found outside Huade City.In addition, Xinghe City sent a telegram directly from Yu Sui.It means that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has already attacked their headquarters.

In addition, outside the city of Shangdu, the main force of the Eighth Route Army who began to besiege the city was also found.The despondent Sugiyama finally believed what Yamashita Fengwen said, and the independent column planned to encircle and wipe out the No.12 Division that cooperated with them.

The telegrams forwarded by the North China Front Army made Yamamura Seitaro palpitate, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Why do the independent divisions fighting with us have so many main forces?"

Faced with such confusion, the chief of staff of the division smiled wryly: "Your Excellency, the independent division that is fighting us now is actually an independent column of the Eighth Route Army. This unit is currently the most powerful unit of the Eighth Route Army.

As for why they have so many troops, the reason is actually very simple.We received information about the Eighth Route Army, except for a lot of unreliable information before, most of them were intercepted from the Central Army.

On the surface, they only have ten main divisions, but their actual strength has far exceeded the size of ten main divisions.Unrecognized by the national government, they also rapidly expanded their troops.There will be so many troops, which is actually quite normal! "

Hidden soldiers among the people!Using these four words to describe the expansion of the Eighth Route Army at this moment, I am afraid it is too fateful!Taking the past materials as observations, how can they be invincible? (To be continued.)

(ps: Please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket! Readers, please check if there is a monthly ticket in the ticket warehouse, and please vote for it! Thank you all!)

Perhaps it was because they felt that there were encirclement and suppression troops attacking the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Datong and Suiyuan.As the Japanese and puppet troops in Huade, Shangdu and other places in the rear, most of them seemed very at ease, and felt that they did not need to worry about the threat of the Eighth Route Army.

As for the Japanese army in Xinghe City, as the rear material transfer station for this encirclement and suppression war, there were also many guard troops stationed there.It's just that the Japanese troops stationed in Xinghe never expected that a disguised infantry brigade had sneaked in openly.

In the end, the disguised Japanese barracks of the reconnaissance brigade successfully sneaked into Xinghe City in the name of escorting troops.Cooperating with the attacking division outside, the Japanese army in Xinghe City never expected that someone would shoot in the back.

Even when the battle started, the captain of the Japanese army stationed in Xinghe City was shot dead by the reconnaissance battalion commander who pretended to be the captain of the supply chain.This is also the reason why the defenders of Xinghe City sent a farewell call so quickly.

With the successful capture of Xinghe City by the First Division, the strategic passage connecting North China, Ulanqab, and Suiyuan was completely blocked by the Eighth Route Army.After receiving this farewell telegram, the North China Front Army realized that the No.12 Division was in trouble.

What made them even more unexpected was that Zhangjiakou Airport, which was pouring rain that night, was also attacked at night.The airport guards were severely damaged, and the planes parked on the tarmac were also severely destroyed.

The most serious thing was the aerial bomb they had just transported to the airport, which was also blown up by the night attack force.The entire airport was in a mess. Even if the airport was still able to take off and land planes, it would be impossible to provide multiple batches of air support to the front troops.

Looking at the telegrams for help from various places, the losses reported from various places, the counties for help marked on the map one after another, and the headquarters of the North China Front Army, which was sleepless all night, the atmosphere was also very depressing and dignified.

The orderly responsible for taking care of Sugiyama Moto alone had cleaned the combat command room several times before.Every time he received a call for help, Moto Sugiyama would throw things angrily, and even vent his anger on these orderlies.

'Bageya Road!How did things become like this?When did our North China Front Army be so bullied by a Chinese army.Damn it, all these Eighth Route Army should be damned!Why, our troops everywhere didn't find anything before? '

Facing the furious Sugiyama Yuan, Chief of Staff Yamashita Fufumi could only persuade: "Your Excellency, Commander, we can't blame our garrison for this. We can only say that we know too little about the Eighth Route Army, and these guys are really too cunning.

Who would have thought that in the face of our army's encirclement and suppression, they would hide so many main forces.Judging from the current strength of the Eighth Route Army's troops projected in various places, it is afraid that it will reach nearly 20.This is twice as many troops as we previously estimated.

The most important thing is that the Eighth Route Army would rather fight bloody battles in front than garrison troops on the front lines.I'm afraid that before we started the war, they had made a battle plan to encircle the No.12 Division.It can only be said that we underestimated the enemy! "

Regarding the rotten battle situation at the moment, if Yamashita Fengwen can find convincing himself and comforting Sugiyama Moto, he can only comfort himself with the reason of "underestimating the enemy".Besides, what else could he say?

When the first division began to deploy defenses in the Xinghe area, the temporary quick response division with He Zhengdao as the division commander also quickly advanced to Ulanqab City.Facing the encircling Eighth Route Army, the defenders of Ulanqab were equally panic-stricken.

Not long ago, the Ulanchabu defenders who had just sent away the No.12 Division did not expect that they would be besieged by the Eighth Route Army at this time.What alarmed them the most was that there were not many defenders in the city at the moment.

During this period, I received telegrams from the Front Army every day, urging them to deliver supplies to the No. 12 Division.As a result, most of the defenders stationed in Ulanqab also served as the baggage guards, delivering supplies to the Kwantung Army on the front line.
