Xiao Siming didn't know that the landscapes with the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in Mafang Town could give the murderous 20th Wing of the 19th Brigade of the 16th Division so much shock! If he knew, he wouldn't have transferred, and if he fought again in Mafang Town, the results would probably be so big that he would wake up laughing in his dreams!

This is a helpless thing, who would have thought that the little devils of the 16th Division, who made murder and rape commonplace, would be so demoralized by a few landscapes piled up with the corpses of devil soldiers?

After Xiao Siming finished the battle of Mafang, he led his team to withdraw to Shiguai Town. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

With the Battle of Mafang, Xiao Siming believed that the little devil would not rush to Heshun City again in the short term, and it would be impossible to sweep towards Shiguai Town. Because the total annihilation of the 20th Cavalry Wing was a major event, it would definitely greatly shake the North China Front and the First Army of the Japanese army. Moreover, the 1st Brigade of the 20th Wing of the 19th Brigade of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army was completely wiped out with two infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, and a brigade artillery squadron, which is equivalent to the annihilation of four squadrons.

At the end of the battle, Xiao Siming had already figured out the number of the Japanese army!

The Japanese army is a regular army armed to the teeth, and the number of the unit and the name of each soldier are written on the identity card.

Since the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese army has not been annihilated in an organized manner, but not a single brigade or wing! Although the 20th Cavalry Wing only had more than 400 people and more than 400 horses, it was a real wing. The little devil's wing flag, wing commander Toshimatsu Kasai's command knife, and binoculars were all captured by the advance team!

It is precisely for this reason that after returning to Shiguai Town, Wang Lushui immediately used the radio to report to the division headquarters and headquarters.

As a result, the headquarters received the good news from the division headquarters and immediately ordered the advance brigade to immediately hand over the flag of the 20th Cavalry Wing, the command knife, binoculars, compass, and briefcase of Kasai Toshimatsu to the Qin Lai detachment, which sent people to the headquarters. At the same time, the headquarters ordered the advance brigade to hand over the four 92 infantry guns and shells of the Japanese artillery squadron and six heavy machine guns of the Japanese machine gun squadron captured in the Battle of Mafang to the Qinlai detachment and transfer them to the headquarters, each heavy machine gun to ensure that 1,000 rounds of ammunition were allocated.

In the telegram order of the headquarters, the advance team was also asked to surrender 100 of the more than 400 captured war horses!

Wang Lushui didn't have as many eyes as Xiao Siming, and the number of weapons and ammunition seized was clearly written on the good news, and the result was that the headquarters ordered a telegram to transfer all four infantry guns, half of the heavy machine guns were gone, and one-third of the war horses were gone!

This time, Xiao Siming did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered Shi Poshan, the director of logistics, to execute according to the orders of the headquarters!

The Japanese army is about to launch a nine-way siege on the base area in the southeast of Shanxi, and the headquarters will command the main force of the 129th Division, the main force of the 344th Brigade and five detachments to counter-sweep in the southeast of Jin, although the number of four infantry guns and six heavy machine guns is not much, but for the main force of the Eighth Route Army at this time, it is definitely the best heavy weapon that everyone loves. If you meet the little devil again, just these six Type 92 heavy machine guns with enough ammunition can make the little devil drink a good pot!

This matter is handled quickly, Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming only need to order the logistics department to carry it out, and they don't have to worry about it.

Because the advance brigade fought such a beautiful ambush battle, it is difficult to say whether the Japanese army will take revenge on Shiguai Town next. Therefore, the headquarters ordered the advance brigade to stay in Shiguai Town for two more days and start its eastward advance on the night of 3 and 8 July.

The meaning of the headquarters is very clear, that is, if the devils attack Shiguai Town, let the advance brigade with strong combat effectiveness choose favorable terrain near Shiguai Town to fight another battle, cooperate with the Qin Lai detachment, and prevent the Japanese army from advancing to the hinterland of the Taihang base area.

What Xiao Siming didn't know was that at the same time as the headquarters gave the order to the advance brigade, it reported the victory to Yan'an, the headquarters of the commander of the Second Theater, and the Military Commission by flying lightning.

In view of the fact that the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army sent troops to advance eastward beyond the operational area of the Eighth Route Army demarcated by the Nationalist Government, which is a very sensitive strategic matter and is likely to cause unnecessary disputes, the telegram from the headquarters still did not mention the official number of the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade and the names of Xiao Siming, Wang Lushui, and others, and it was still replaced by a certain unit of the 115th Division of the 18th Group Army.

The total annihilation of the 20th Cavalry Wing of the Japanese Army is indeed a big event!

Yan'an sent a telegram directly to the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade.

The telegram said: "Xiao and Wang:

Congratulations to my heroic King Xiao Brigade for the glorious record of annihilating the 20th Cavalry Wing of the Japanese Army! The more detailed the better, report the formation of the Japanese cavalry wing, including the setting of the wing commander, the size of the subordinate troops, the strength of the troops, the armament of weapons and equipment, and the preparation of horses. Including the establishment of the infantry brigade of the permanent division of the Japanese army, the situation of weapons and equipment was promptly reported. To detail the details of the armament of the Japanese infantry squad! ”

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our army was rarely able to form a squadron or brigade that completely annihilated the elite divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, let alone a combat example of a cavalry wing or brigade of the Japanese army, and the high command urgently needed to understand and grasp the real establishment of the Japanese troops, so that it could correctly assess the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army when commanding operations.

When the independent battalion fought in the battle of Yuxian, the ambush battle of Nianzigou, and the battle of the stone measuring station, they failed to report the battle report in time. It was only when the troops retreated from the Shishi Station to Jingshang in the south of Shouyang to rest and recuperate that Wang Lushui reported the battle report for the first time. It's just that Wang Lushui didn't report in detail on the establishment of the Japanese army in the battle report, and he didn't understand everything!

After the battle to destroy the Japanese army's Taiyuan Airport and the battle to occupy Shouyang, Xiao Siming reported the battle report to the division headquarters, and only reported the number of enemies destroyed and the capture in Shouyang, and the capture of the Taiyuan Airport was not reported in detail, nor did he report in detail the specific composition of the Japanese brigade.

The Pingxingguan ambush, the Guangyang ambush, and the overlapping ambushes in Qiqian Village were all very classic, but it was mainly the Japanese army's baggage troops that were eliminated, and our army's high command was still not very clear about the establishment of the Japanese army's infantry brigades, wings, brigades, and divisions.

Xiao Siming, who has crossed the soul, is naturally very clear!

Wang Lushui couldn't do this, so Xiao Siming had no choice but to sit down and honestly draft a telegram to the Yan'an headquarters, reporting in detail on the battle of Yuxian, the battle of Nianzigou, the attack on Zhengtai Road and the battle of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, the destruction of Taiyuan Airport and the Airport Air Defense Brigade of the Japanese Provisional Air Corps, the battle of the garrison of the 20th Division, the attack on Shouyang City and the battle of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, the battle of Xiaozhuang of the Second Company and the battle of the 108th Division, Finally, it was to report on the battle of Mafang and the battle of the elite 16th Division of the Japanese army.

This telegram was written very long, the purpose of which was to let the leaders and chiefs of the Yan'an Headquarters and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters have a clearer understanding of the Japanese army!

Although the Eastward Advance Brigade had only been in existence for a short time, it had already fought with the 109th and 108th Divisions, the two special divisions of the Japanese army in the North China Theater, and the 20th and 16th Divisions of the permanent divisions, as well as with the troops of the Provisional Aviation Regiment of the Japanese North China Front, including the Taiyuan secret service of the Japanese army. Moreover, not only fighting, the advance brigade and its predecessor independent battalion will win every battle, capture a lot, and obtain a lot of intelligence information about the Japanese army, Yan'an ordered Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui to report the detailed establishment of the Japanese army, which is really accurate, and find the right person!

In his telegram, Xiao Siming first gave a detailed report on the course of several battles, from analyzing and judging the enemy's situation to making up his mind to making specific arrangements to the final results, all of which were clearly written in extremely concise pen and ink, and then he gave a detailed report on the establishment of the Japanese army.

In the telegram, Xiao Siming divided the Japanese army invading China into 12, 3, and 4 divisions, listed the 5th Division, which had been attacked by our army at Pingxingguan, as a first-class division, the 16th Division and the 20th Division, which had been attacked at Mafang, as a second-class division, the 109th and 108th special divisions, and the 26th Division, which had been newly formed by the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia, as a fourth-class division.

The reason for this distinction was that Xiao Siming said in the telegram that the Fifth Division was one of the three motorized divisions of the Japanese army, and that the three motorized divisions were the Japanese Guards Division, the Second Division, and the Fifth Division. Of the three motorized divisions, the Guards Division was the Imperial Forest Army of Emperor Hirohito of Japan. The 2nd Division was subordinate to the Kwantung Army and was the culprit of the 918 Incident, and was famous in the Japanese army for being good at night fighting. The Fifth Division is the strategic force of the Japanese army, and it is transferred wherever it is needed. In the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the current War of Aggression against China, the Fifth Division was the vanguard of the Fifth Division, and was known as the "Flower of the Army" in the Japanese army, codenamed "Steel".

The reason why the 16th Division was listed as a second-class division was determined mainly by Xiao Siming on the basis of the 16th Division's troop strength and heavy equipment. In terms of troop strength and equipment, the 16th Division and the 20th Division of the Japanese Army are the same, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the 16th Division is the vanguard and main force in the capture of Nanjing, and its combat effectiveness is one level higher than that of the 20th Division.

The 108th and 109th Divisions of the third class, Xiao Siming said that the average age of the soldiers of these two divisions is about 30 years old, and they are composed of reservists from the 8th and 9th Divisions conscripted by the Japanese army. In terms of strength, there is no difference between the 16th and 20th Divisions, but the number of tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles equipped is small, and the combat effectiveness is also quite poor. The main reason is that the soldiers of the special divisions are older, and they are not as fanatical as the young soldiers of the permanent divisions, and they have a little less sense of taking the initiative to seek war. But when it comes to the bad things of burning, killing, looting, and raping women, the special division is worse than the permanent division!

As for the fourth-class 26th Division, Xiao Siming said that this is an expanded unit based on the old independent mixed 11th Brigade, and there are only three infantry wings in terms of strength, but its combat effectiveness is higher than that of the third-class permanent division.

In the telegram, Xiao Siming, based on the seizures and Japanese documents, analyzed the troops, weapons and equipment of the four types of divisions and regiments of the Japanese army from the infantry squad to the division, and even wrote clearly that there were 13 Japanese infantry detachments, equipped with a grenadier canister, and a light machine gun.

finally finished writing, let Wang Lushui read it, and directly handed it over to Chen Qiang to take it and shoot it!

This telegram is the most accurate and detailed information on the formation, strength, and equipment of the Japanese army since the beginning of the all-out war of resistance against Japanese aggression.

As a result, an hour after the telegram was sent, a second telegram came from Yan'an, asking if there was any data on the performance of the weapons of the main equipment of the Japanese army, including the detailed data of the 38 Dagai, the Taisho 11 light machine gun, the 96 light machine gun, the 92 infantry gun, the 92 heavy machine gun, the grenadier canister, the tank, the armored car, and the automobile.

Xiao Siming's head is too big, so he can only continue to write!

This night, Xiao Siming's soul crossed over for the first time since he was a showman for one night! (To be continued.) )
