Chapter 394: Xinkou Falls
Seeing that Fu Yisheng was rambling for a long time, and he hadn't talked about the subject yet, Yan Lao Xiden urged impatiently: "The main force in front can't be dispatched, and the garrison of Taiyuan City can't be mobilized, where do we have extra troops?" ”
"Guard Regiment!"
Fu Yisheng slowly spit out three words.
"Guards?"
"That's right, it's the Guard Regiment!"
Fu Yisheng nodded heavily, and then continued: "In order to ensure that the guard regiment can successfully complete the task, I suggest that a supplementary battalion be transferred to its reinforcements.
In addition, the headquarters also needs to give an order to let the main forces of the front line hold on for a few more days until the guard regiment recaptures Xinkou County!
I believe that with the strength of the main force, it will not be possible to completely annihilate or defeat the enemy army, but it should not be a problem to hold on for a few more days! ”
"Hmm!"
Yan Laoxi nodded with deep eyes, and then fell into a deep groan, as if thinking about the feasibility of it, and after a while, he looked up at everyone present and asked, "Everyone, if you don't have any opinions, then follow Yisheng's proposal." ”
"There is no opinion on the inferior rank!"
……
The picture pulled back to the guard regiment, and when he received the telegram from the theater command, Yang Chen's brows frowned.
With the issuance of this paper and telegram order, Yang Chen knew that the Theater Command was planning to abandon the Xinkou area.
The Xinkou area has fallen, and Taiyuan will not be protected.
To be honest, Yang Chen is very unwilling, but this is the direction of history, he has tried all his best, but he still failed to change after all.
No, it can't be said that there has been no change, at least the First Army was completely annihilated, as well as the Tufeiyuan Division, and at the same time the time of the fall of Xinkou was postponed.
The reason why he failed to completely change the trend of history is because his own power is too weak.
So in the long run, the decision of the theater command is not a good thing.
At the same time, the Eighteenth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, that is, the Eighth Route Army, also received the plan and arrangement of the theater command to prepare for the withdrawal of troops from Xinkou.
Of course, Yan Laoxi didn't regard the Eighth Route Army as his own, so all this information was heard by the intelligence officers of the Eighth Route Army.
At that time, the 386th Brigade immediately sent a telegram to Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, ordering them to hurry to join the large army.
So, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were reluctantly separated from Yang Chen.
……
Xinkou aspect.
The Japanese troops who had previously attacked the rear of the Second Theater and Xinkou County from the direction of Wutai County were none other than Major General Suzuki Shigeyasu, who was stationed in Tun under his command and mixed into the headquarters of the 11th Brigade.
The 11th Brigade is mixed into the 11th Brigade and Regiment, which has jurisdiction over the 11th and 12th Infantry Wings stationed in the Tun, plus the cavalry brigade, the artillery brigade, the engineer brigade, and the baggage brigade directly under the garrison, with a total strength of nearly 9,000.
Whether it is the strength of the army or the configuration of equipment, it is far stronger than the average brigade.
With the information provided by the spy members, plus the second theater concentrated its energy and heavy troops on the Itagaki Division; Therefore, the 11th Brigade of the garrison was almost unhindered, and drove straight into the city of Xinkou.
According to reliable intelligence, there is only one garrison brigade guarding Xinkou County, with a total strength of more than 5,000 people.
Therefore, Suzuki Shigeyasu did not put all the 11th Brigade of the garrison into the siege, but only sent the 11th Infantry Wing of the garrison to siege the city, while he led the rest of the troops north to rescue the 5th Division.
In Suzuki Shigeyasu's view, a county town guarded by 5,000 Chinese officers and soldiers, with an infantry wing and nearly 3,000 imperial troops, is already worthy of them.
After all, at the beginning, their Imperial Japanese Army could have achieved the feat of 13 people capturing Rehe.
At the same time, Suzuki Shigeyasu also had a bigger plan, that is, to cooperate with the headquarters of the Itagaki Division to eat all the main forces in the second theater.
The reason why he ordered the 11th Wing of the Garrison Infantry to capture Xinkou instead of leading them north together was to pave the way for this plot.
Xinkou County is the rear of the main force of the Second War Zone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is their lifeblood and throat.
As long as the county seat of Xinkou is captured and occupied, it is equivalent to choking the throat of the main force of the second theater.
……
It's night.
On the orders of the brigade commander Suzuki Shigeyasu, Ishihara Saburo Osaku led the 11th Infantry Wing under his command, with a total of nearly 3,000 devil officers and soldiers, under the cover of night, launched a surprise attack on Xinkou County.
The devils had already infiltrated Xinkou County, and at this time, many officers of the garrison brigade had been bought by them with a lot of money and promises.
At night, when Ishihara Saburo led more than 3,000 devils to kill elites, these dog traitors directly opened the four gates of Xinkou County.
More than 3,000 elite soldiers of devils were divided into four routes and entered Xinkou County from four directions.
Because the garrison brigade was full of traitors, the devils of the 11th Wing stationed in Tun almost didn't need a single shot, and they went directly into the county seat.
Of course, the traitors who were bought by the devil were only a few after all, and when the devil was found to be killed, Feng Xuguang, the commander of the garrison brigade, quickly organized his soldiers to fight.
It's just that the little devil came too suddenly, almost without warning, and by the time the defenders rushed to meet the battle in a panic, they had already killed out of the county.
And the enemy they faced was the most elite field unit from the Japanese army.
Combat experience and other qualities, as well as individual combat capability, are second to none in the whole of Asia, and even in the world.
Although the combat effectiveness of this garrison is not weak, it is still difficult to compete with this group of wolf-like devil soldiers.
The two armies first fought in the streets, and as a result, the defenders were beaten back in panic because they were afraid of the strong strength of the devils.
More than 3,000 devils chased and killed along the streets like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
When Feng Xuguang, the commander of the garrison brigade, arrived at the front line and planned to personally command the battle, the devils had already occupied Simen and a large area on the edge of the county seat, and were rapidly advancing towards the center of the city.
Feng Xuguang was in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers under his command to resist.
However, these officers and men of the garrison brigade, who had already been frightened, were opponents of the well-equipped, powerful, and skillful Japanese army.
In less than ten minutes, the two regiment commanders under his command were killed one after another, and more than half of the soldiers of the garrison brigade were killed or wounded, and the others collapsed and fled.
The two battalion commanders of the garrison brigade and some of the remnants of the soldiers fell into the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army, and they surrendered directly, and acted as the leading party, leading the devil garrison brigade to kill here.
At this time, guarding Feng Xuguang's side, only his guard battalion and part of the troops remained, with a total number of less than 500.
Feng Xuguang knew that the defeat was decided, and after looking up to the sky and sighing three times, he hurriedly organized this part of the soldiers and broke through to the northwest.
