At three o'clock in the morning on April 18, Ye Baoguo sent a telegram saying that the 4th Cavalry Regiment, the 8th Cavalry Regiment, the 9th Cavalry Regiment, and the 10th Cavalry Regiment had intercepted Kuroda Shigetoku in the Xiaonao area, and the infantry regiment would arrive about two hours later.

At half past five in the morning, Ye Baoguo sent another telegram saying that the Guard Regiment, the New Fifth Regiment, the New Sixth Regiment, and the Second Artillery Regiment had arrived at the predetermined location and completed the encirclement of Kuroda's Shigetoku Division. Because he encountered a group of about 1,300 puppet army deserters on the road, Ye Baoguo took half an hour to disarm these puppet soldiers, so he was half an hour later than expected.

Han Yunhua immediately ordered Ye Baoguo to take full command of the battle and launch an attack on Kuroda Shigetoku's headquarters before dawn. As soon as the devil's plane arrives at dawn, it will be difficult to completely annihilate Kuroda Shigetoku at that time, so Han Yunhua asked the troops participating in the war to get involved with the devil before dawn.

At six o'clock in the morning, before dawn, that is, not long after Major General Kuroda Shigetoku discovered that the Imperial Allied Army had fled, Ye Baoguo had already completed the final deployment of Kuroda Shigetoku's troops and was ready to launch a full-line attack half an hour later.

Suddenly, the forward observation post reported that Kuroda Shigetoku's troops were showing signs of fleeing westward, and that their cavalry had also spotted our cavalry regiment.

At that moment, Ye Baoguo no longer hesitated and ordered all his troops to attack immediately. The first to attack was the 2nd Artillery Regiment, and the 12 75mm mountain guns, 12 75mm field guns, and 24 mortars equipped by the 2nd Artillery Regiment were fiercely shelled at the valley where the devils were temporarily stationed.

After receiving a telegram from the headquarters of the Corps stationed in Mongolia, Major General Kuroda Shigetoku immediately organized the troops to withdraw westward. However, as soon as the troops were organized, they were attacked by the 2nd Artillery Regiment before they could be launched. After the shelling, Major General Shigetoku Kuroda was horrified to find that the mountains were surrounded by Shina troops wearing gray or green uniforms.

Major General Shigetoku Kuroda immediately organized a counterattack with his troops, while slowly withdrawing with his troops to a small hill not far away. How could Ye Baoguo let him get his wish, Ye Baoguo ordered the four cavalry regiments that were ready to attack immediately to launch a group charge against the devils.

The group charge of more than 5,000 cavalry was extremely terrifying, dusty, and the rumbling hooves of horses seemed to crush everything to pieces. Major General Kuroda Shigetoku hurriedly transferred two machine gun squadrons to block the cavalry group, and for a time the cavalry that rushed to the front fell down one by one, because the terrain was not very open and not conducive to the cavalry charge, so the cavalry suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time.

But Ye Baoguo knew that he couldn't take care of the casualties now, if he couldn't get involved with the devils before the arrival of the devil's plane, it would be a big trouble. Therefore, Ye Baoguo ordered all infantry cavalry units to launch a full-line charge at all costs.

The cost of such a charge was undoubtedly huge, and at least 1,000 people fell on the way at a distance of 500 meters. Soon, nearly 20,000 people on both sides were mixed together, yellow, gray, and green were entangled with each other, and most of the soldiers chose to use bayonets to solve the enemy for fear of accidentally injuring their own people.

It was a bloody contest, with no mercy and no sympathy, only endless killing. In this contest, the Eighth Route Army undoubtedly had an absolute advantage, and more than 5,000 cavalry were far stronger than 10,000 infantry in hand-to-hand combat. Half an hour later, Major General Kuroda Shigetoku's headquarters was divided into five pieces and surrounded by eight regiments led by Ye Baoguo on the hillside.

In less than 20 minutes after the start of the battle, the Imperial Allied Army, which was already sluggish and demoralized, quickly collapsed in the face of the powerful offensive of the Eighth Route Army, leaving only a few hardcore Han Annihilators with a small number of people still resisting stubbornly, and the others surrendered early.

Half an hour after the start of the battle, more than 20 planes of the devils arrived at the battlefield, which significantly boosted the morale of the devils in the encirclement, but because the two sides were mixed together, the devil pilots did not dare to bomb the main battlefield at all. However, the artillery positions of the 2nd Artillery Regiment, which had not yet had time to be withdrawn, suffered and were bombed by the devils in retaliation. All 24 large artillery pieces were blown up, several light mortars were also blown up, and the fighters of the 2nd Artillery Regiment also suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, Tian Zibao, the commander of the 2nd Artillery Regiment, was a very experienced veteran gunner, and when he saw that he could not do anything, he immediately ordered the soldiers to scatter and flee.

At 7:50 a.m. on the 18th, the battle was over, and in order to avoid the bombing of the devil's plane, Ye Baoguo ordered the soldiers of the New Fifth Regiment to change into the military uniforms of the devils and continue to fight with the New Sixth Regiment to confuse the enemy planes. The other regiments took this opportunity to quickly clean up the battlefield, the cavalry regiment handed over the captured puppet army to the remaining corps, and the large army hid in a forest to rest.

At ten o'clock in the morning, taking advantage of the time when the devil's plane went back to refuel, Ye Baoguo finally withdrew all the troops and entered the mountains and forests to avoid the bombing of the devil's plane. The 5th Brigade (light bombers) and the 6th Brigade (heavy bombers) of the Provisional Aviation Regiment rushed from Taiyuan Airport again to find that the two sides had fought fiercely an hour ago, but now only the corpses of Imperial soldiers were left all over the ground. The hateful Chinese army disappeared without a trace, and the angry aviation regiment spread its anger on the villages in the defense area of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and the devil bombers deliberately dropped a few bombs every time they passed through a village. A large number of houses in the base area were blown up, but the casualties were minimal, and since it was now in a wartime state, all the people had to be transferred and unconditionally cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in the fight, so there was no one in most of the villages.

After receiving the all-annihilation special bomb headquarters, Han Yunhua was very happy and immediately sent a good news to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, Han Yunhua ordered Ye Baoguo to let the troops rest for a day, and at night when the devil plane no longer came out, he immediately led four cavalry regiments to the area of Gaomiaozi to support Shen Yuquan's battle.

The guard regiment set out at eight o'clock in the evening, rushed to the Datong area, and cooperated with Li Dingguo's department to feint an attack on Datong City, creating the illusion of a large-scale siege of the city by the Eighth Route Army, and forcing the First Army of the North China Front, which was besieging the 129th Division in the southeast of Jin, to return to Datong. The New Fifth Regiment had to arrive at the temporary headquarters at Zhuo Zishan before 6 a.m. on the 19th and wait for the next instructions. The New Sixth Regiment stayed behind in Jining City, and counted the booty captured during the attack on Jining City, and also served as a reserve for the military region.

Jining City was captured, and the headquarters of Major General Kuroda Shigetoku was surrounded by the Chinese army, and the headquarters of the Mongolian army was really anxious. Lieutenant General Pan Lian Nuan, commander of the Mongolian Corps, ordered Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu to break through the resistance of the troops in front of the Chinese army at all costs, and if necessary, use special bombs (poison gas bombs) and special smoke (poison gas).

After receiving the order of Lieutenant General Pan Liannuma, Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu sent the 47th Wing of the 11th Infantry Brigade, another main wing of the 6th Division, as the main force of the attack, and at the same time the field heavy artillery wing supported the operation at any time. Wing Commander Masashi Tanigawa of the 47th Wing led more than 3,800 elite soldiers under his command to launch a fierce attack on the second line of defense defended by the 99th Regiment and the New Third Regiment. But both attacks were destroyed by the large minefields planted by the 99th Regiment in front of the position, and the angry Gu Life ordered the Field Heavy Artillery Wing to open the way for the 47th Wing with shells, and swept the forward positions of the 99th Regiment fiercely. Despite the cover of the strong firepower of the field heavy artillery wing, the 47th Wing's six attacks and four group charges were repulsed by the 99th Regiment and the New Third Regiment, and Gu Shoufu had no choice but to use special bombs. It's a pity that Han Yunhua had been prepared for this for a long time, which caused the unwitting Gu Shoufu to suffer a loss, and a brigade of infantry that carelessly rushed to the position of the Eighth Route Army was suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army in ambush in the trenches, and the powerful firepower caused more than half of the infantry of a brigade to suffer casualties.

Gu Shoufu can now be said to hate Han Yunhua to the extreme, his Sixth Division has been smooth sailing since the invasion of China, and it has suffered such a defeat. So far, he has only more than 6,000 troops left in his hands, and his troops have suffered more than 10,000 casualties in six days, and the temporary field hospital in Zhuozishan County was even more traumatized by the sneak attack of the small Chinese army, and the field hospital was destroyed, and the murderous Chinese army did not even let go of the wounded who had lost their combat effectiveness, and nearly 1,000 light and serious wounded were slaughtered.

However, Gu Shoufu also knew that the opposite China army was not comfortable, and the China army, which lacked heavy artillery, could only be passively beaten in the face of the attack of the field heavy artillery wing, and Gu Shoufu expected that the casualties of the opposite China army should be more than 20,000 people.

At ten o'clock in the morning of April 18, Gu Shoufu received a telegram from the headquarters of the Mongolian army, learning that all the jade of Kuroda Shigetoku's headquarters had died heroically for the great cause of the common prosperity of the empire's Greater East Asia, and that the life and death of Major General Kuroda Shigetoku were unknown, but the Mongolian army headquarters analyzed that his captured surname was not very large, and at the same time, the Mongolian army headquarters ordered Tanita Shigeo's headquarters to suspend the attack and wait for further orders from the headquarters.

After receiving the news, Gu Shoufu couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and ordered the soldiers to launch two more group charges, until they were repulsed by the defenders of the 99th Regiment again, and they stopped the attack completely.

On April 19, the 39th Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division of the Yue Army in the direction of Tianzhen found that a large number of reinforcements had come from the Eighth Route Army that was blocking them, and now the Eighth Route Army blocking them had reached 10,000 people, which was more than twice the total strength in his hands, and there were more than 8,000 cavalry troops in this Eighth Route Army. At the same time, Major General Yoshito Takagi, commander of the 39th Infantry Brigade, also discovered that the Chinese troops had formed an encirclement of his 39th Brigade, and his rear road Tianzhen County was also attacked by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army many times.

Takagi Yoshito, who was afraid of becoming the second Kuroda Shigetoku, immediately reported the situation to his immediate superior, Lieutenant General Kawagishi Fumizaburo, commander of the 20th Division, who had already had a lot of opinions about the Front Command's transfer of the 39th Brigade to the Chahar area to fight, so he immediately sent a report to the North China Front Headquarters, demanding that the 39th Brigade immediately stop the attack and withdraw to a safe place.

While the Front Army Headquarters was discussing the issue of whether or not to transfer the 39th Brigade back, the Headquarters of the Corps stationed in Mongolia sent a telegram saying that the military town of Datong had been attacked on a large scale by most of the Eighth Route Army, and that the troops defending the city had been somewhat unable to hold on, and that four requests for tactical guidance had been sent within half a day. Yamashita Fengwen of Zhangbei also sent a telegram saying that the new regiment of the 77th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in Zhangbei had launched an all-out counterattack against the mixed brigade of the Chinese garrison in Tun on 18 July, and his troops were now at an all-round disadvantage, but there was not much danger for the time being.

General Terauchi Shouichi and a senior staff officer of the headquarters analyzed it, and finally admitted with some unwillingness that the battle plan of the Fourth Route Heavy Army to besiege Han Yunhua's Eighth Route Army had completely failed.

On April 19, General Terauchi Shouichi ordered in the name of the commander of the North China Front Army to attack the various units of the Han Yunhua Division of the Eighth Route Army and retreat back to the original garrison area, but the headquarters of the 39th Infantry Brigade quickly went south to rescue Datong, and the defenders of Datong City should cooperate with the outside to defeat or completely annihilate the Chinese army besieging Datong City.

On the afternoon of 19 April, the guard regiment besieging Datong and the temporary corps commanded by Li Dingguo safely withdrew to Fengzhen County, thus ending the eight-day anti-encirclement and suppression campaign of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.
