And from the mouth of the commander of the military region who commanded the main force to return to the division to outflank the 50th Division, that is, the original chief of staff of the division, Li Ziyuan only had a comprehensive understanding at this time. In the sweep of the Japanese puppet army in the Ludong area, among the Japanese puppet armies dispatched. The two roads that enter Ludong from the southern and eastern routes have been crippled by Li Ziyuan himself.

Even if the Japanese army was willing to replenish the puppet 38th Division, it would not be able to restore its combat effectiveness without a single year of leadership. And given the character of the Japanese, it is not an accident that the establishment and disarmament may be revoked. At least in this battle, this puppet 38th Division is not capable of continuing to participate.

Among the two puppet army divisions that took the lead, only one of the puppet 50th divisions remained, and now they are also surrounded by the main force. In the case of this group of hungry wolves in the military region, it is estimated that there are not even the residues left. Their equipment, together with the soldiers, is a piece of fat and fat in the eyes of all the troops in the military region.

As for a puppet military division in Huguan County, he is also being watched dead now, and he belongs to the kind of situation where in addition to being closed to the door in the short term, he is also in a situation where there is no door to heaven and no way to enter the ground. Of course, Huguan's strong fortifications can also serve as their talisman in a short time.

The remaining other division was deployed on the front line from Gaoping to Changzhi to protect the Japanese puppet army's sweep of the Ludong supply line. After the Battle of Gaoping began, it was pinned down by the main force in the mountains west of Gaoping. After the end of the Battle of Gaoping, he was transferred back to Changzhi as a defense as soon as possible.

The thousands of puppet garrisons drawn from the Japanese army that attacked from the north road were blocked by the troops of the 1st Division, and the progress was slow. At the height of the fighting on the southern front, it had been circling in the territory of the first division, although one had already entered the territory of the Ludong division. However, under the harassment of the local armed forces of a sub-district, the supply of these Japanese puppet troops has been cut off.

As for the puppet security independent division that launched an attack from the western front, plus the main force of the Ludong Garrison Wing, it was armed by two regiments of the Ludong Army Division and one local armed division, and was delayed in the eastern and western areas of Ludong. The first section of the Taiyue Military Region has already entered the western part of the Shangdang Basin, and the entire Changzhi period has been shocked three times a day.

After the end of the First World War in Gaoping, I was afraid that the nest would also be ended, but in fact, because the supply line was hit all day long, from the muzzle of the gun to the population, it had fallen into a shortage of food. Under the condition that the entire first division had been completely fortified and cleared, even the most basic rations could not be grabbed from the northern front, and the Japanese puppet army retreated first.

And the puppet army, which was not very active on the Western Front, although the chief of staff of the 62nd Division personally supervised the battle. But after becoming a lonely army, for fear of being surrounded by the Eighth Road that turned around, he also retracted to Pingchuan and Hubei County as soon as possible. In the pursuit operations launched by the troops of the Western and Northern Fronts, the various divisions gained considerable gains.

Starting from Hubei County, the puppet security independent division that took the lead was eaten up by the troops who launched a counterattack. Compared with this pseudo-security division who lost half of his troops, it was the treacherous and cunning Wang Tieshi who retracted relatively quickly. Only a small part of the troops after the break were lost, and most of the main force was retracted to Pingchuan.

It's just that although this old man ran fast, under the pursuit of the divisional troops, not only failed to keep the regained Qiaokou, but even fell off the horse and had to give up. With the resumption of the fallen horse by the divisional troops, the stronghold of the division in the mountainous area east of Hubei was basically lost except for Pingchuan.

After introducing the battle situation, the commander was very pleased to send Li Ziyuan's shoulder and said: "This anti-sweeping campaign ended so quickly, and you kid should be the first to take the lead." I really didn't expect that the two puppet army divisions, together with the Japanese army, had a full seven or eight thousand troops. was actually disabled by the kid and brought down one, the political commissar really didn't look at the wrong person this time. ”

"Luofengling battle, you kid really dare to do that. With your style of play, one of the regimental-level cadres in our military region is counted as one, but none of you dare to do it. If you want to say that it is a broken kettle, it is all light, and it is completely a way of cutting off children and grandchildren. You kid really dared to make this decision at that time, if I were replaced, I am afraid I would not dare. ”

Regarding the commander's compliment, Li Ziyuan said with some sorrow: "Chief, don't praise me." At that time, I couldn't help it. Originally, my plan was to pin down the puppet 38th Division on the Eastern Front with the strength of two companies. The Puppet 50th Division, which is the fastest and most threatening to us with the main force to delay and attract the main force, and look for all the fighters to weaken this Puppet 50th Division. ”

"Otherwise, with the strength at hand, I will not be able to complete the task assigned by my superiors. Unexpectedly, instead of moving closer to the puppet 50th Division, the puppet 38th Division concentrated its forces and suddenly launched an attack on the Jiuding Mountains. There are not only a large number of fortified materials, but also tens of thousands of villagers and a large number of non-combatants, as well as local cadres. ”

"If these people fall into the hands of the Japanese puppet army, it will be fatal and irreparable for the entire Ludong region. And we will all fall into passivity on the entire Ludong battlefield. Once the Jiuding Mountains are captured by the Japanese puppet army, and the personnel on the fortified wall fall into the hands of the Japanese puppet army, the task assigned to me by the superiors will also be a complete failure. ”

"There was no way, I could only withstand the bombing of enemy planes and quickly send reinforcements to the south. At least the pseudo-38th Division must be attracted away from the line of Jiuding Pass, so as to buy time for the transfer of personnel on the fortified wall of Jiuding Mountain. But the subsequent development of the war situation was that we were glued by the Japanese puppet army. is in a situation where you can't beat it, and you can't even get out. ”

"This situation forced me, and I could only fight. If you don't fight, it is estimated that I will have to be wiped out in Luofengling. But I can't fight hard. The gap between the two sides in terms of strength is really too great. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of this Wang puppet Second Front Army far exceeds that of the local puppet army in Shanxi. ”

"Not only did they dare to launch a group charge, but they also dared to fight a white-knuckle battle. If I fight to the death, it is estimated that my troops will run out, and I will not be able to hold out for long. I can only gamble, but fortunately I have some capital in my hands. In the battle against the puppet 50th Division, I captured almost all of their artillery and baggage. ”

"The ammunition in my hands is quite sufficient, not to mention, I still have a small artillery in my hands. In one, I had in my hand the codebook of the horizontal connection of the puppet 50th Division, and the mutual communication link between the two puppet armies was cut off. How much equipment was captured by the puppet 50th Division by me, the puppet 38th Division and the Japanese puppet army that acted with it are not clear. ”

"Although I encountered air raids by Japanese planes along the line, the Japanese air force knew about my equipment. But I can also take advantage of the inefficiencies in the internal ground-air connection of the Japanese army, and do a good job of tactical concealment in the full part. Chief, it is precisely because of the above conditions that I dare to take the risk of betting on this. ”

"Luckily, I really won this time. I made full use of the Japanese puppet army in battle, and I don't know how much artillery and shells I have in my hands. And I made full use of the captured puppet artillery to participate in the battle, and did my best in the battle. At the same time, he took advantage of the impatient mentality of the Japanese puppet army to make a final decision at a critical moment. ”

"It's just that this time I have achieved relatively large results, but the problem is that my troops have also been completely disabled this time. The little force you saw is now the only living force I have left. My regiment has not been in this group for half a year, and it will not be able to recover. Chief, what I need most now is to replenish the troops. ”

Looking at Li Ziyuan's extremely tired face and bloodshot eyes because of continuous battles, the commander nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will supplement you as much as you want." The military district will re-replenish your troops in the shortest possible time. If you don't replenish the troops that have made great contributions like this, don't you replenish that unit at the first time? ”

"This combat experience, you have to come up with a detailed report when you go back. Remember, I want the most detailed operational report. I will give a detailed report on how you issued your determination to fight, what your real fighting intentions were, and what your post-war experience was. When writing a report, don't fool me with a few words. ”

"Now you hurry up and rest the troops, I have the matter of replenishing the troops, and I promise that you will be in place as soon as the battle is over. However, this time, the Japanese puppet army forces in the entire Ludong region have been dealt a decisive blow, and the Japanese puppet army will shrink in a short period of time. You should also think about how you will adjust your work for the next stage in the future according to the changes in the situation. ”

Speaking of this, the commander pondered for a while, then looked at Li Ziyuan in front of him and said, "Li Ziyuan, you feel that we are sandwiching one and eating one at the moment, how should we fight in the next stage?" Whether we will fight or not in this Huguan county, and if we do, how to fight will be better. ”

Hearing the words of the commander in front of him, Li Ziyuan was a little inexplicable. The focus of the next phase of work should be something that should be considered by zoning. He is just a regimental-level cadre, and he only has the share of obeying orders, so where is his turn to think about it? However, although he didn't understand the intentions of his superiors in his heart, Li Ziyuan didn't say much.

For the commander behind him to ask for advice, Li Ziyuan pondered for a while and finally shook his head and said: "Chief, I mean that after solving this pseudo-50th division, it is better for us to look at the enemy of Huguan." First of all, our army lacks offensive weapons, and now there are not enough of them that can be used as offensive weapons. ”

"What's more, the troops are already extremely tired from continuous combat. The walls of the entire Huguan are not only tall, but also quite strong. The defense system of the Japanese puppet army has been formed, and it is impossible to replicate the Gaoping experience. In particular, our army lacked sufficient firepower to attack the fortifications, and the price paid for the assault was too great. ”

"At present, the Japanese puppet army has all shrunk into the city, and our army has been extremely tired from continuous battles, and it can be said that the attack is waiting for work. It was only thirteen kilometers away from Changzhi, and the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army from Changzhi arrived as soon as they spoke. The terrain along the way was also quite unfavorable for us. ”

"The most important thing is that our army is already in a state of shock, and the entire combat situation is exposed. In addition, our army mobilized a large number of main forces, which just gave the Japanese army the opportunity to find the main force of our Taihang troops to fight. With the speed of the Japanese army's reaction, they would not fail to seize this opportunity. ”

"Once our army has been hoarded under the fortified city for a long time, and the surrounding Japanese puppet army is rapidly reinforced, then our army will face the danger of being attacked by the enemy on its back. If you ask me for advice, I have only one opinion, and that is to hit and collect quickly. After the puppet 50th Division was eliminated, the forces were immediately gathered and immediately transferred. ”

"Chief, this is the essence of our entire Taihang Military Region, and they are all old bones that have been tested for a long time. If you suffer too much loss in this battle because of greed, it will be difficult to recover. At present, the Japanese army in the entire southeast of Jinjin, at least for a short time, will occupy the advantage of the opposition. Chief, you can't chew it if you are greedy. ”
