When Wang Zhuo handed him the telegram with a mysterious look on his face, Zeng Jiwen became even more confused.
Zeng Jiwen took the telegram and started reading it.
After Zeng Jiwen finished reading the telegram, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I finally felt relieved.
Then, he handed the telegram to Zhou Xi and said casually.
"You're right. We'll be the ones to take the blame for this hatred-inducing skill!"
Zhou Shi was a little confused by Zeng Jiwen's words. What happened and why did they have to take the blame?
Zhou Xi took the telegram and started reading it. It was no big deal, but he was immediately shocked.
"real or fake!"
After saying that, he looked at Wang Zhuo.
Wang Zhuo said excitedly.
"We've asked several times, and Lao Huang and the others have urgently sent people over to verify it."
"It is exactly as Li Yunlong and his men said. They destroyed the headquarters of the 26th and 109th Divisions. All officers above the rank of regimental commander of the two divisions were killed."
"There are quite a few lieutenants left."
After hearing this, Zhou Xi was still a little surprised.
"This kid is so lucky! He must have happened to catch the Japanese army convening a meeting."
Wang Zhuo nodded after hearing Zhou Shi's words.
"Yes, according to Han Jia and the others' analysis, the Japanese army should be preparing to withdraw."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have called so many officers to a meeting. Unexpectedly, they were all taken away by Li Yunlong with one shot."
"The Japanese troops began to withdraw?" Zhou Xi was a little confused.
"Yes, the Fifth Column has sent a telegram saying that the 114th Division has returned to Shandong. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region also called just now to say that they have captured Datong and Zhangjiakou and are organizing the transportation of supplies from the city."
"The 21st Division in Baoding has returned along the same route."
After hearing Wang Zhuo's words, Zhou Shi suddenly understood.
"So, this battle is over."
Hearing Zhou Shi's words, Zeng Jiwen smiled.
"Otherwise, how can you ask Sugiyama Gen to mobilize troops?"
"Where is he from in the army now?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhuo and Zhou Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Zhou Xi seemed to remember something.
"From Ji'nan? There seems to be no news."
When Wang Zhuo heard what the political commissar said, he immediately spoke up.
"Oh, I forgot to mention this. Don't interrupt me. Wu Lin and his men have already retreated to Wu'an. The 5th and 14th Divisions have already returned to Handan."
"What are the overall casualties of the two Japanese divisions?" Zhou Shi asked.
"These two divisions are considered useless. When they retreated to Wu'an, they had less than 6,000 men combined."
Hearing this, Zhou Xi's expression suddenly became serious.
"I'm afraid Wu Lin and his troops have suffered heavy casualties!"
"Yes, more than half of the troops were killed or wounded. The casualties of the 81st and 82nd regiments even reached two-thirds. There are basically only a few battalion and company-level cadres left in the entire regiment. The other regiments also suffered half of their casualties. The troops in southern Hebei will have to wait for a long time." Wang Zhuo said to Zhou Shi and Zeng Jiwen.
After hearing the casualty figures, Zeng Jiwen and Zhou Shi looked somewhat dejected for a moment.
Yes, the two Type A divisions, even if they relied on the terrain and the dismantled 107 rocket launchers, could only hinder the attacking Japanese army.
Once the battle with the Japanese army began, casualties began to increase.
What's more, they are two Type A divisions of the Japanese Army.
Zeng Jiwen cheered up.
"Alright, let's send this information home, and we'll start counting after the troops return!"
"Okay, I'll send it to the headquarters and my family right away." Wang Zhuo said immediately after hearing Zeng Jiwen's words.
At noon, in Peking, inside the Japanese military headquarters in North China.
At this time, all the staff officers and generals in North China were sitting in the conference room, and the entire conference room was silent.
Commander Sugiyama Hajime, who was sitting in the first seat, had a gloomy face, while Chief of Staff Yamashita Tomoyuki and Commander of the Mongolian Army Hasunuma Ban also had unhappy expressions.
It's a joke, it's really a joke. The Japanese army in North China is now a complete joke.
This was the thought in everyone present.
If the previous defeat of the locust army in North China could be explained by being led by the Eighth Route Army in terms of tactics and strategy, then what happened in the Wuzhi Mountain area south of Fuping that morning completely made the Japanese army in North China a laughing stock.
The senior generals of the Locust Army, which had two divisions, were actually eliminated by a small unit of the Eighth Route Army, and the opportunity was given by the Locust Army itself.
This is outrageous and a shame.
Ever since they didn't receive any calls back from the 26th and 109th Divisions that morning, Sugiyama Gen and the other two had a bad feeling.
However, no matter how they called, they could not contact the two divisions, which made the three of them think that the two divisions were surrounded by the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
When they thought of this possibility, the three of them suddenly felt like the sky was falling.
Especially the commander of the Mongolian Corps, General Hasunuma Han, the Independent Mixed Brigade 2 is finished, so is the 26th Division going to be finished too?
If the 26th Division was also surrounded and annihilated by the Eighth Route Army, then he, the commander who had just taken office, would become a commander without troops.
When he thought of this, Lian Numa Fan suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart.
Finally, when the three were in despair, at ten o'clock in the morning, the communications office finally received news from the two divisions.
Sugiyama Gen and the other two were immediately overjoyed. At the same time, they also felt that since they had received the news, it meant that the two divisions should be in good condition.
Then the three people who saw the telegram suddenly felt cold hands and feet.
It turned out that the telegram was received from Fuping.
At the same time, the sender was Gen'ya Koizumi, the captain of the 1st Battalion of the Independent 11th Infantry Regiment under the 26th Division.
In the telegram, Koizumi Gen also reported to the North China Front Army that almost all the soldiers of the 26th and 109th Divisions, from division commanders to regiment commanders, were killed.
At the same time, the two divisions originally had 30,000 troops, but now only have less than half of them left.
The remaining Japanese troops were either killed by the Eighth Route Army in battle, or they fled to where no one knew where due to the chaos.
Seeing this situation, the three of them were a little bit unbelieving and thought that Koizumi Gen had also lied about military intelligence.
After contacting the 26th Division, Koizumi Genya sent a detailed report on the specific combat situation.
It was not until then that the three men understood why the two divisions had been out of contact since morning.
Then, Sugiyama Gen felt a sense of magic. It would be better if they were completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. What was this, an actor?
He is playing the commander.
Two divisions were defeated by an Eighth Route Army force of less than 3,000 people, and the two divisions could not even find a regiment commander. This sounds so magical.
How should he report this? He should tell the country that his two divisions were defeated by the despised Eighth Route Army, which consisted of less than 3,000 men, and that all the senior officers of the two divisions were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.
Sugiyama Gen believed that if he reported in this way, what awaited him would not be a reserve, but he could commit suicide by seppuku tonight.
