Chapter 1572: The Dawn of Victory (Finale)
Quiet times are short-lived.
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost three months since the Battle of Baoding ended, and the garrison regiment is back on track and training.
"Commander, the headquarters secret telegram!" Political Commissar Wang Hong suddenly walked into the war room and said with a mysterious expression.
Li Hao only glanced at the contents of the telegram, and a smile appeared on his face.
Then he looked at Wang Hong and said: "Political commissar, this protracted war of resistance against Japan is finally coming to an end." ”
"Judging from this order, this major counteroffensive organized by the headquarters will definitely be unprecedented, and it will severely damage the Japanese puppet army in North China."
"After this battle, the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us in North China will definitely be reversed, and the Japanese puppet army will no longer have the strength to take the initiative to attack our Eighth Route Army base area, and even self-protection is a problem."
Wang Hong did not know the course of the war like Li Hao.
After reading the telegram, he knew that this major counteroffensive organized by the headquarters would definitely change the situation on the battlefield, but he did not expect that the Japanese puppet army would fail, nor did he expect that the war was about to end.
So after listening to Li Hao's answer, the whole person was stunned for a while before he reacted, looked at Li Hao with a look of disbelief and asked: "Commander, you mean that the little devil is about to be defeated, and we are about to win." ”
"Eight or nine is not far from ten!" Li Hao affirmed.
"Order all battalions to prepare for an attack, the regimental headquarters to send all the ammunition and weapons in stock to the front line, and as soon as the counteroffensive order from the headquarters arrives, the troops will immediately move and sweep away the remaining Japanese puppet troops around us."
A few days later, the whole of North China was shrouded in the flames of war, and the figures of the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army were everywhere, one stronghold after another, artillery towers, and county seats...... It was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and countless Japanese puppet armies were wiped out......
In less than two months, the Japanese North China Front lost nearly 30 percent of its troops, and the occupied area was reduced by nearly half.
In order not to be completely annihilated, many troops could only retreat to larger county towns and military towns, and could not defend to avoid exchanging fire with the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was recovering lost territory in North China, the Jin Sui Army, which was entrenched in the southwest of Jin, could not sit still.
In their eyes, Shanxi is their territory, and now it is occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and they are definitely not convinced.
The three divisions of the Jin Sui Army were the first to act, and without any greetings, they suddenly entered the base area of the Eighth Route Army, especially the base area controlled by the garrison regiment, and directly killed the Jin Sui Army of the two divisions.
In the war room, because the Jin Sui army suddenly invaded the base area, the atmosphere became obviously depressing.
Hong Linfeng held the battle reports sent from the front line in one hand and the baton in the other, standing next to the sand table in the base area to introduce the enemy's situation.
"The regiment commander, political commissar, investigation has determined: The Jinsui soldiers of the two divisions are divided into two routes, and they have penetrated 30 kilometers deep into our base area, and they are about to reach Hunyuan County."
Li Hao frowned and asked, "How is the equipment of the Jin Sui Army?" ”
Hong Linfeng flipped through the information in his hand and said: "There are two mountain artillery battalions and six mortar companies for heavy weapons, and the heavy machine guns are configured to the battalions, each main battalion is equipped with four heavy machine guns, and the two divisions have a total of 24 mountain guns, 54 mortars, and 72 heavy machine guns. ”
"By the way, the Jin Sui Army of these two divisions is also equipped with two air defense companies and is equipped with 12 anti-aircraft machine guns."
"I heard that in order to deal with our armored company, the Jin Sui Army temporarily strengthened it before departure."
"In addition, there is a heavy artillery regiment and a main division behind the two main divisions on standby to reinforce the battlefield at any time."
"I reckon this heavy artillery regiment is for our heavy artillery battalion."
Li Hao replied with a sneer: "It seems that after this period of development, the Jin Sui army has also become wealthy, and so many heavy weapons and troops have been dispatched to deal with our garrison regiment at one time. ”
Wang Hong, who was in charge of intelligence, said: "That's for sure. ”
"After taking Datong, the financial pressure of the Jin Suijun is significantly less, and I heard that the arsenal that was shut down due to insufficient raw materials and funds has been running at full capacity this year, and large-scale production of weapons and ammunition."
"Chongqing also seems to want to see the Jin Sui army fight with us in North China, and openly and secretly sent two regiments of heavy artillery to the Jin Sui army."
"If it weren't for this, the Jin Sui army would definitely not have the confidence to attack us."
Li Hao shook his head and analyzed: "Political commissar, whether a unit has strong combat effectiveness or not, only equipment is not enough. ”
"Our soldiers are all the elite who have fought with devils all year round, and at least thirty percent of the soldiers in the Jin Sui army's attack on our troops are new recruits, and thirty percent of the soldiers are veterans who have not experienced big battles and bad battles, and the real elite can have three achievements are good."
"And our equipment and firepower are no worse than those of the Jin Sui army, so we will win this battle."
"In the past, when we were still in the Red Army, they were called our transport convoys, and they sent us weapons and ammunition, and this time was no exception."
"Heavy artillery, mountain artillery, mortars, heavy machine guns, these are all good things, it's too wasteful to put them in the hands of the Jin Sui army, we must find a way to get them into our own hands."
"Order: The heavy artillery battalion has two companies, put on a posture of moving to the front line, and must march with great fanfare, so that the Jin Sui army attacking us knows."
"Since the Jin Sui Army has prepared a heavy artillery regiment for us, if we don't take it down, then I'm sorry for their hospitality."
"Use the heavy artillery battalion to force the heavy artillery regiment of the Jin Sui Army to the front line, and then find a way to take it."
"The commando, the reconnaissance company, the first battalion of the main force, the second battalion, and the cavalry battalion form an interspersed force, commanded by Xiao Yuan and Huang Sheng, and directly behind the two main divisions of the Jin Sui Army, and take down their heavy artillery regiment."
"The three or four battalions blocked the attacking troops of the Jin Sui army head-on, and the five six, seven and eight four main battalions plus the air defense battalion, the heavy artillery battalion, the chariot company, and the two flanks were outflanked in a roundabout way, and all the Jin Sui troops penetrated into our base area."
"Tell the front-line attacking troops to kill as few people as possible on the battlefield and take more prisoners."
The battle began two days later, and the process went more smoothly than planned.
In just one day, more than 10,000 Jin Sui troops were divided into four units by the garrison regiment and trapped four highlands within a radius of nearly ten kilometers.
Their idea was simple, as long as the main divisions and heavy artillery regiments for subsequent reinforcements were in place in time, they would be able to turn defeat into victory. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
That night, they received the bad news that the heavy artillery battalion had been attacked by the cavalry of the garrison regiment and that the whole army had been annihilated.
Immediately after, the reinforcements were blocked in the middle of the road by the garrison, and then the bad news of being surrounded reached the ears of the attacking troops one after another.
The overall situation was decided, and the garrison regiment did not continue the attack, which only increased casualties.
After the Jin Sui army was attacked, they all hurriedly broke through and occupied the nearby high ground.
There was no way to bring the baggage and artillery to the high ground, so each soldier only had two days' dry rations on them, and some even thought that the dry food was in the way and lost it when they broke through.
Coupled with the fact that there is no water on the high ground, as long as the troops surround the high ground to the death, they will lose their combat effectiveness......
Two days later, the first Jin Sui army chose to surrender, followed by the second......
In less than two days, all the prisoners of the Jin Sui army who invaded the base area became prisoners of the garrison regiment......
Three months later, the Japanese army announced its unconditional surrender, and on the same day, Li Hao received an order from the headquarters to reorganize: the garrison regiment was reorganized into an independent first division, with Li Hao as the division commander and Wang Hong as the political commissar......
