Chapter 371: Suddenly Enlightened
Kawamura fled quickly along the highway in a car and several motorcycles. Vertices M. updates the fastest
The Japanese troops who remained in Majiaqiao Village independently mixed the other personnel of the Fourth Brigade and the personnel of the communications team, because there was an order to retreat, the main force was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and they were afraid that the Eighth Route Army would catch up and be killed, so they took advantage of the night to scatter and flee for their lives.
When the Eighth Route Army chased to Majiaqiao Village, they found that the road was full of small fires where the Japanese army hastily burned documents, and even the shadow of the Japanese army could not be seen!
This is night, if the Japanese army escapes along the path, the vehicles of the Eighth Route Army will not be able to chase, the infantry will be slow, and they will have to hurry, and it will be impossible to chase those Japanese stragglers!
After cleaning the battlefield, the number of corpses left behind by the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army was counted, which corresponded to the number of Japanese troops, but thirty or forty people escaped, which means that the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade was completely annihilated!
In this battle, from Xiao Siming leading his troops to conceal and occupy Chenqiao, to eliminating the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army's Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade, a total of 15th Brigade, 11th Brigade, 12th Brigade, and 14th Brigade of the Independent Infantry of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army's Independent Mixed Brigade, plus the artillery, engineer, baggage, and armored squadrons of the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade, a total of 4,072 Japanese soldiers were killed, and the capture was rich!
Such a result stimulated the cadres and fighters to scream.
Zhao Xiuchuan, the commander of the artillery regiment, ran all the way with mountain artillery, field artillery, and anti-aircraft guns, but did not fire a single shot, and his eyes were red with anger, and he found Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui and reported that he suggested that the commander and political commissar make up their minds and drive the troops westward to find and destroy the Nara detachment of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army. Being able to completely annihilate a wing of the elite 16th Division of the Japanese army will definitely shake the whole country and give the people of the whole country a great excitement!
Zhao Xiuchuan is eager to come to a big battle and let his artillery show his strength!
Chief of Staff Hu Qingyun was immediately moved, spread out the map, examined it for a while, and actually said to Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming: "With the current firepower of our army, it is not impossible to annihilate the Nara detachment!" ”
Let Zhao Xiuchuan and Hu Qingyun say this, Wang Lushui is not calm, squatting down and looking at the map with a flashlight for a while, and then discussing with Xiao Siming whether to let the cavalry battalion hang the 13th Independent Infantry Brigade of the little devil to monitor the Japanese army. The main force quickly moved westward, taking advantage of the possible reinforcement of the Japanese Nara detachment to form the independent mixed 4th Brigade and annihilated it in one fell swoop!
What Xiao Siming wanted to eliminate the most was the 16th Division, the culprit of the Nanjing Massacre, but the problem was that the fighter plane was missed now. The commander of the Japanese brigade fled again, and the North China Front Headquarters, the First Army Headquarters, including the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division behind the buttocks, must have already known about it. At this time, the little devil has already become a frightened bird, I'm afraid they are all pouting their butts to build fortifications, it's not easy to fight!
Sighing, Xiao Siming squatted down and said to Wang Lushui: "The Japanese army is already on high alert and has lost its fighters. It doesn't matter, there are so many little devils, some are fighting! Our task now is not to be greedy and chew too much, but to seize the opportunity of the annihilation of the main force of the independent mixed Fourth Brigade and the appearance of a big hole in the defense line of the Japanese army's northern front, quickly cross the road from Handan to Daimyo, cross the Wei River and the Zhanghe River, jump out of the great encirclement of the Japanese army, and completely throw the little devils behind us! ”
Wang Lushui's eyebrows were tangled together, and he said sadly: "It's a pity that our tanks and cars can't cross the Yellow River, otherwise, after our army breaks through the encirclement of the Japanese army, we will cross the Luxi Plain, cross the canal and the Yellow River, and enter the hinterland of Shandong." In the future, you can rely on the Yimeng Mountains to create a base area! ”
Xiao Siming asked: "Who said that our tanks, armored vehicles, and cars can't cross the Yellow River?" ”
Wang Lushui asked rhetorically: "There are no bridges on the Yellow River, can you let these tanks and cars fly over with wings?" ”
Xiao Siming pointed his finger at the Luokou Bridge again, and said to Wang Lushui: "Although the Luokou Bridge has been bombed, the Japanese army will inevitably take measures to transfer steamers to ferry at Luokou to transport passing vehicles. It is also possible to build a pontoon bridge at Luokou to ensure the passage of vehicles. Even, it turned out that the Japanese troops were reluctant to dismantle the pontoon bridge when the 16th Division crossed the river, because they needed to communicate with each other. As long as we get to the Yellow River and control the Japanese ferries or pontoon bridges, won't we be able to pass easily? ”
Wang Lushui suddenly became enlightened, pondered for a while, and felt that this was indeed the truth, and the Yellow River moat in front of the eastward advance detachment instantly became a smooth road, so he said: "Send a report to Division Commander Xu and Political Commissar Xiao, and ask the chiefs to immediately send scouts to carry out reconnaissance along the Yellow River, focusing on the investigation of Luokou and the ferry crossing of the Yinping land boundary downstream, if the Japanese army really builds a pontoon bridge, it will be God help me!" When we cross the river, fight casually, and tell the little devils that we are going to the hinterland of Shandong, the Japanese army will not care about tossing in southern Hebei and Luxi, and will definitely follow our ass to Shandong. Hehe, as long as you enter Yimeng Mountain, are you still afraid of the heavy siege of the little devils? That's how you want to fight! ”
Speaking of this, Wang Lushui frowned again and looked at the map and thought for a while, then said to Xiao Siming: "What I am most worried about now is that the Japanese army will block the roads and bridges before us and block our passages. No, the soldiers are fast, and the troops can't be allowed to rest, they have to set off immediately, and if they are late, things will change! ”
Xiao Siming immediately ordered the armored battalion, the infantry artillery battalion of the artillery regiment, the rapid-fire artillery company, the first regiment, and the heavy machine gun battalion to take a car and quickly go north to control the Wei River and Zhanghe highway bridges of the Daimyo, and ensure that the follow-up troops would return to southern Hebei through the Daimyo and then transfer to Luxi; ordered the cavalry battalion to immediately disengage from contact with the Japanese and march to the daimyo to make peace with the main forces; He ordered Hu Qingyun, chief of staff, Zheng Xiuchuan, deputy chief of staff, and Mo Shan, deputy director of the Political Department, to organize the troops, quickly bury the remains of the martyrs, register the names of the martyrs, the number of the troops, and the place of origin, bring the wounded and captured weapons and equipment, and quickly march north in accordance with the march of the third regiment in the front and the second regiment in the rear, and the artillery regiment, engineer battalion, and units directly under the detachment; The personnel who stayed in Puyang County and disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers to answer the phone and send and receive newspapers were ordered to leave the city immediately, ride the motorcycles left behind, and chase the troops!
Hu Qingyun sighed, called back and forth, and returned the same way. However, it was worth it to wipe out the four infantry brigades of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade and capture so many military supplies! Not an ordinary value, but a special value! No matter how much you run, it's worth it!
As soon as the order was given, the troops immediately moved quickly!
Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun separated again, Xiao Siming led a fast column to seize the daimyo, and Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun led the follow-up troops to follow.
When they broke up, Xiao Siming told Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun that after taking control of the Weihe and Zhanghe highway bridges, he would take all the cars and return to the transport troops. The key is to make me fast, and I must march quickly! (To be continued.) )
