At 6 o'clock in the morning of July 3, this eight-hour battle finally ended, and after Yang Chengwu commanded the troops to clean up the battlefield, he led the troops to quickly withdraw to the county seat of Zhangbei County.

At about half past eight, the 62nd Wing of the 21st Infantry Brigade of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army rushed to Daya Bay.

However, it is no wonder that the 62nd Wing, after receiving the order of the division commander, Lieutenant General Washizu Matsudaira, the commander of the 21st Infantry Brigade, Major General Toranojiro Iwai, ordered the 62nd Wing under his command to urgently rescue Daya Bay. However, not long after the main force of the 62nd Wing left Zhangjiakou, the railway to Zhangbei County was blown up by the Eighth Route Army, and the military train transporting soldiers, weapons and ammunition derailed under guard, causing great casualties.

Fortunately, there was no attack by the Eighth Route Army at that time, and after sorting out the troops, the commander of the 62nd Wing, Oto Kapaoli Osa, sent all the wounded to the nearest stronghold to recuperate, and then led the remaining soldiers to Daya Bay on foot. Although it was not attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army along the way, it was attacked by no less than 20 small-scale sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army and Kuomintang guerrillas along the way. Although it did not suffer much damage, it greatly slowed down the 62nd Wing's march, so that the 62nd Wing arrived at Daya Bay only two hours after the battle.

Looking at Daya Bay with thick smoke and the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, Otoka Poly Dazuo's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Daito Kapoly Daisaku sent a report to the Zhangjiakou Temporary Headquarters, reporting the situation in Daya Bay to Lieutenant General Washizu Matsudaira, commander of the 21st Division. On the other side, Oto Kapoly Osa left a squadron of soldiers to collect the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who had died in battle, and then led the rest of the men and horses to gallop towards the village of Tandigou.

The corpses of more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers were neatly stacked together like goods, and most of the soldiers' clothes were pulled away, leaving only the Japanese army's unique diaper-like crotch cloth. The blood from the corpses stained a depression below the mountain red, and from time to time a few scavenging and carnivorous birds such as crows hovered over the battlefield.

Oto Kapoly Osa found the body of his friend Kura-e-up man Osa, who was pierced by a sharp blade at the top of the corpse pile, and his entire neck was almost cut off, and a majestic Osa-sa military uniform was stripped of a piece and naked.

Oto Kapaoli looked at this friend who was often ridiculed as a "coward" by his colleagues in the army, and his heart surged. He and Kuraka-e-nan are both from Hokkaido, but Kura-ka-e-nan joined the army five years before him, and when Oto Kapoly was still in Hokkaido as his eldest young master, Kura-ka-e-nan was already a lieutenant. However, because the Cangluyi man was born as a civilian and was mostly excluded in the army, coupled with the cautious nature of the Cangluyi boys, and was called a "timid Canglu" by his colleagues, the Cangluyi man was mostly discriminated against in the army, and this situation did not change until he was transferred to the Yamashita Brigade Commander Yamashita Fengwen.

Oto Kapoly Osa knew that it was not that Kuralu Yi was really timid, but that he did not have the capital to compete with those who laughed at him, so he gave in again and again. However, Kuralu Ekuo was a first-class warrior on the battlefield, and the soldiers he trained once fought a confrontation with the always arrogant Kwantung Army, but the result was that with the same number of troops, one of his field squadrons completely defeated the squadron of the Kwantung Army.

Oto Kapoly Osa could never have imagined that Cangluyi, who had always regarded him as his little brother, and the first wing he had personally trained had fallen in Zhangbei, a small county town with a small name, and they were all annihilated in this small ravine with a poor appearance. This kind of visual and spiritual impact is too great, so that Oto and Pauli Osa are a little incredulous.

However, the corpse of Bai Huahua in front of him and the blood-stained land reminded Oto Kapaoli that all this was true, and the first wing of the Yamashita Brigade was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army, which they had always looked down on, in one night, and the entire 3,876 people in the entire wing were not survived.

After the news of all the jade shatters of the First Wing reached Zhangjiakou, it immediately caused a big storm. Major General Yamashita Bongfumi, the commander of the Yamashita Brigade, was so angry that he vomited blood and was admitted to the hospital. No one dared to hide such a major matter as the total annihilation of an integrated wing, and the commander of the 21st Division, Lieutenant General Washzu Matsudaira, immediately went here and reported what happened to the North China Front Army Headquarters. ,

At this time, Shouichi Terauchi couldn't sit still, he sent a report to the base camp on the one hand, asking the base camp investigation team to speed up, and on the other hand, he ordered Gu Shoufu's department to start moving in the direction of Zhuozi Mountain. At the same time, the 26th Division must also be ready to attack at any time, and as soon as the investigation team of the base camp arrives, the Third Route Army will encircle the main force of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which belongs to the Eighth Route Army, with lightning speed.

Besides, when Han Yunhua received Yang Chengwu's report, Han Yunhua had already led his troops out of Zhangbei County and arrived at the Xixin camp in Guyuan. After reading the battle report of the First Assault Brigade, Han Yunhua sighed and said to Wan Guoquan, the commander of the Second Assault Brigade: "Alas, Lao Yang lost this deal."

"Lost? Lao Yang completely annihilated a complete infantry wing of the devil this time, and also captured a complete field heavy artillery squadron of the Japanese army and a large number of military supplies, including the weapons and ammunition that we urgently need now, how can it be said that it is a loss? "The right of all nations is wonderful.

Han Yunhua unnaturally took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Wan Guoquan, lit one himself, and then said: "This assault brigade completely annihilated an infantry wing of the devil, which seems to have achieved major results, but in fact, the devil was indeed hurt. However, we must see the severity of the situation in front of us, and now the situation of the enemy and us is absolutely outnumbered, not to mention that we do not have stable logistical support, and we cannot fight a war of attrition with the devils. Last night's battle, although it was ostensibly our advantage, actually made us more passive. You see what Lao Yang said in this telegram, he didn't want to fight to the death with the devil, but in the end it was a siege and annihilation battle. This shows that Lao Yang also knows that we are still defeated in this battle. ”

Wan Guoquan's eyes became even more confused, and he said puzzledly: "Commander, I still don't understand. Although we did pay a lot of casualties, the devils actually killed nearly 4,000 people, how can we be considered defeated? ”

Han Yunhua said: "Let's put it this way, at the tactical level we are winners, but at the strategic level we are losers. In this battle, the 1st Assault Brigade suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, of which more than 1,300 were directly killed, and more than 1,500 were lightly and seriously wounded. The reconnaissance company of the model unit of the 1st Assault Brigade was almost completely wiped out, and such losses almost destroyed half of the combat effectiveness of the 1st Assault Brigade. Not to mention what to do with those wounded, the big war is imminent, but they are carrying so many light and serious wounded, and the impact on morale and combat effectiveness is very huge. Speaking of this, Han Yunhua looked at the dark night sky with a confused look, and did not continue until he was awakened by the cold wind: "I originally thought that the strength of a single assault brigade could at least withstand the devil for more than a month, but now it seems to be hanging." According to the battle plan discussed with Lao Yang, their assault brigade should rely on the county seat of Zhangbei County to kill and wound a large number of Japanese troops and then quickly move to the nearby mountains, use the vast mountainous areas as the battlefield, fight guerrilla warfare with the devils, and drag the enemy down and drag them to death in the movement. In terms of attainments in guerrilla warfare, Lao Yang is an absolute grandmaster of our Inner Mongolia Military Region, and I believe that he will be able to achieve my tactical objectives and give us a certain amount of support in terms of strategy. But I didn't expect that a small army of devils would make a mess of our plan, "the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky" The ancients did not deceive me.

Wan Guoquan is also a very strategic officer, and after Han Yunhua said this, he also realized the seriousness of the matter. Wan Guoquan looked at the map and said: "Commander, our current location is in the Xixin Camp in Guyuan County, not very far from Zhangbei County, why don't we send some troops to support Lao Yang and them, with the current strength of their brigade, they can't compete with the devils at all?" ”

Han Yunhua thought for a while and said: "No, if you want to repel the devil's attack on my base area, fighting to the death is the stupidest way, judging from the current situation, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is powerless if it wants to support us, and the devils have concentrated heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in Jinchaji, southeast Jin and other places, so we are basically fighting alone now." Now there is only one way to repel the encirclement and suppression of the devils, and to settle the situation in the Chahar Suiyuan area in one fell swoop, that is, to mobilize the enemy's forces as much as possible, especially the main forces of the Japanese army entrenched in Guisui (Hohhot City) and Baotou, to create an opportunity for the Saibei Army Subdivision to attack one of the cities, and then the rest will become an isolated city, and it will be difficult for the devils to gain a firm foothold in Chahar Suiyuan. At present, there are more than 13,000 regular troops in the Northern Serbian Army Division, as well as nearly 10,000 local garrisons and militias. As long as the opportunity is right, they are fully capable of taking the old nest of Hasunuma Pan and cutting off Gu Shoufu's back road. Our task now is to beat the devils in the central Hebei region after the Japanese army launches a general offensive and make them crazy. We are now going to concentrate our forces to make trouble in the Jizhong Plain, and we must stab Shouichi in the heart of the temple. ”,

Wan Guoquan said: "Commander, your idea is certainly very good, but what should Lao Yang do, if we don't support them, I'm afraid that the foundation we have laid in the Chahar region will be destroyed by the devils." ”

"Lao Yang's side is really difficult to do, but it's not impossible, this time they have captured so many weapons and equipment, as long as they are used properly, they can completely form a new temporary force, although the combat effectiveness will definitely not be too strong, but as long as the command is good, it is still very effective. Besides, I have always known that Lao Yang has been secretly training the eight militia supplementary teams in the Zhangbei area, although these eight militia supplementary teams have been classified as local garrison troops because of lack of weapons and equipment, but their actual combat ability is not bad, as long as the weapons and equipment are sufficient, they can create a force with not weak combat effectiveness in a short period of time. In addition, this war is a devil attack and our side is defending, although it does not have the initiative, but it can occupy the advantage of geographical advantages. Guoquan, believe in Lao Yang, he can do it. Han Yunhua said firmly.

Han Yunhua slowed down and said: "Lao Wan, don't worry, the guard brigade of the military region is rushing to Zhangbei County to urgently reinforce Lao Yang, thinking that there is a guard brigade and the more than 10,000 supplementary troops in his hand, there is no big problem in repelling the attack of the 21st Division." ”

Han Yunhua's words made Wan Guoquan's heart suddenly have a bottom, and he himself knew that in terms of military command ability, he Wan Guoquan couldn't catch up with Yang Chengwu. You must know that Yang Chengwu followed the ** all the way from the Long March, and the rain of bullets created his courage and outstanding military command ability.
