Baotou City was about to completely fall into the hands of the Chinese army, but the reinforcements had only set off from Guisui for a short time, and it would take at least two and a half to three and a half hours to reach Baotou. If the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army are harassed and blocked on the way, this time will be delayed. The situation was extremely critical, and the commander of the Baotou garrison, Major General Okada Moto Kuji, was ready to sacrifice his life for His Majesty the Emperor.

With regard to diehards like Major General Okada Motokuji, all the commanders and fighters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region have never been soft-hearted, and the usual practice is to kill one when they see one, and then cut off two when they see two, and there has never been an exception.

Li Dayong is a real predator, he doesn't have so many twists and turns in his heart, as a soldier he is qualified, so he is especially used by Han Yunhua in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the position of the commander of the first military division in the Inner Mongolia Military Region is not something anyone can sit in, and in addition, to a super-staffed military unit like the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which is full of talents, the most important thing is to have talents who can fight.

However, to everyone's expectations, the final candidate for the commander of the First Army Division of the Inner Mongolia Military Region was not Ye Baoguo, who had the highest voice, nor Guo Weidong, who had always been old and respectful, but Li Dayong, a "reckless man."

It's not that Han Yunhua takes care of the old man who has been following him, although in his conscience it is true that Han Yunhua has his own considerations for letting Li Dayong be the commander of this Northern Military Division, but Han Yunhua also has to look at Li Dayong's personal ability. However, Li Dayong is an old Red Army who followed Han Yunhua all the way, and the two of them were already old acquaintances during the Long March, and both of them were company commander-level officers back then.

Han Yunhua knew that in addition to being like a shrewd person on the battlefield, Li Dayong was like a taciturn and lonely old man most of the time. Li Dayong does not have so many stories like Yang Ruihua and Qian Zhuangfei, to put it bluntly, he is an ordinary farmer in Jiangxi, ploughing the land and planting rice and planting crops is his specialty, but an accident made him embark on the road of a soldier. But as a resolute person, Li Dayong believes that if you do a job, you must love a line. Either you don't do it, or you have to do it to do your best.

Therefore, Li Dayong on the battlefield is like a different person, decisive and ruthless, like a bloodthirsty war machine, although many people are very unhappy with Li Dayong's behavior. However, Li Dayong still went his own way, and on the premise of not violating the military plane, he would not care about anyone's accusations.

Despite this, Li Dayong was inevitably squeezed out by some people, and it can be seen from the change of his and Han Yunhua's military positions that both of them were the same company commanders when they were in Ruijin, but now Han Yunhua is already the commander of a military region of Nuoda, and he is still a small officer who is not high or low.

However, since following Han Yunhua, Li Dayong's official position has risen layer by layer like a refueled rocket. Li Dayong, the commander of the military division, had never thought about it, he would rather consider whether he would be killed by the last bullet in the last battle. Han Yunhua fell in love with Li Dayong, although such a person also has its inherent shortcomings, but people who regard joining the army as a profession are really worthy of Han Yunhua's trust. Especially for people like Han Yunhua who have advanced ideas and go against some inherent views in the party, it is still necessary to cultivate some pro-own strength. This is not what Han Yunhua wants to do, but some necessary measures for self-protection.

Li Dayong saw that the time was ripe, the troops of the Saibei Military Division had occupied almost more than 90% of the Baotou city, and only a small number of remnants of the devil's troops had been compressed at a few important points, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely annihilated. Li Dayong asked Liu Rui, the chief of staff on the side, "Old Liu, what's going on with the political commissar, can we close the net?" ”

Liu Rui immediately replied: "It's almost over, Political Commissar Shen sent a telegram half an hour ago saying that the devil's reinforcements have been on the road, and now they have passed the Tumut Left Banner, and the train that the devil is riding has also broken down halfway, and it is impossible to return to Guisui City from the Tumut Left Banner in an hour." Besides, the commissar's side has already acted, and we can close the net. ”

"Okay, close the net!" Li Dayong ordered loudly.

In fact, those hundreds of soldiers were just bait used by Li Dayong to lure devils, as long as he wanted, he could gnaw at these less than 500 devils at any time to the point that he couldn't even keep a bone. However, in order to cooperate with Shen Yuquan's actions, and for the smooth implementation of Han Yunhua's entire "Sky Stealing Plan", Li Dayong let Major General Okada Motokuji survive for an hour. Otherwise, with the scheming and unintentional of the Saibei Army Division, and carefully preparing a sneak attack plan for several months, how could the devil have been able to support it for nearly two hours.

As soon as the order was issued, the soldiers of the artillery regiment pushed out the field heavy artillery they had just captured, and turned the muzzle of the guns to several places, such as the railway station and the gendarmerie and the garrison headquarters where the devils were stubbornly resisting.

As soon as the field heavy artillery was test-fired, Major General Okada Motokuji ordered the only few hundred soldiers to launch a counter-charge against Li Dayong's troops. As a very experienced senior commander, Okada knew that the Shina army was using field heavy artillery produced by the Empire. This kind of heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 150mm is not at all what these small brick and concrete buildings can resist, and after a few shells, this area will definitely become a ruin, and there will be nothing left but rubble, especially extremely fragile lifeforms.

The suicide attack is almost useless to any army in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, because when the troops were reorganized, Han Yunhua specifically mentioned the matter of the suicide attack of the Yue army, and he also particularly emphasized that as long as the devils did not lay down their arms and surrendered voluntarily, then standing in front of the soldiers would be the shameless aggressors who invaded China, and only the blood of the invaders could wash away the unforgivable crimes they committed in China.

Major General Okada's major general's uniform was the most conspicuous, and when he rushed out, all the soldiers subconsciously aimed their guns at him, but Li Dayong ordered: "This major general is going to catch him alive and destroy everyone else for me........."

The number of people around Major General Okada Motokuji was rapidly reduced, and when he was only less than ten meters away from Li Dayong and the others, there were only five guards left around Okada Motokuji, and the rest fell on the way to the charge.

Li Dayong raised his pistol and fired five shots in succession, just as he ran out of pistol magazines, and the five guards who were guarding Major General Okada Motokuji all fell beside Okada Motokuji.

Seeing Okada Motokuji standing alone with a command knife to the side, Li Dayong angrily reprimanded: "Put down your arms, surrender, spare you from dying!" ”

Li Dayong also learned Chinese from Han Yunhua for a period of time, although he didn't learn it very well, compared to the young men of the special combat team, Li Dayong was like a rotten wood that could not be carved. However, Li Dayong has learned a lot from a simple dialogue, and it is no problem to shout a word to persuade him to surrender. Although Li Dayong's tone was a little weird, at least the meaning was expressed, and Okada Motokuji also understood what Li Dayong meant.

Okada Motokuji was very sad in his heart, in the past, he used to shout and persuade the losing side to surrender as a winner, especially to the middle [***] team. Now the situation is reversed, and the squadron [***], which has always been not very respectful, actually stands in front of him and asks him to surrender, which makes Major General Okada Motokuji extremely angry. But he also heard that the gunfire in the city had weakened, and now he could only hear a few scattered sounds, and there was no movement on the side of the train station that had never been broken, and Okada knew that Baotou was finished.

As a soldier, especially a general, Major General Kuji Okada has his own pride. He was unwilling and could not surrender because his family and his friends could be affected by him. If he dies in battle, then his spiritual throne will be sent to the Yasukuni Shrine to be worshiped by the people of the Great Empire for generations, and his family will also be treated with courtesy by the people, especially a high-ranking officer like him, and the empire will not care about the life or death of his family. If he surrenders, then his family and friends will be ostracized by the people at home, and his wife and daughter may even be sent to China as military records, so he is not willing to surrender as a prisoner even if he is shot and killed by the Chinese [***] team.

Major General Okada Motokuji said angrily: "You drop, don't think, I will not surrender to you cowardly Shina pigs." Come on! Shoot, shoot me, shoot here. Major General Okada said arrogantly, pointing to his heart.

Li Dayong raised his pistol and pointed it at Okada and shot him with a "bang", but Li Dayong did not hit him in the heart as Major General Okada Motokuji thought, but hit him on the wrist and knocked out the command knife in his hand. Immediately, Li Dayong ordered loudly: "Take it down, drop his jaw to prevent him from committing suicide." ”

The battle in Baotou went very smoothly, from beginning to end, Li Dayong's troops were pressed by the devils, and the defenders of Baotou were almost annihilated after only a slight resistance.

After the battle, Li Dayong ordered Liu Rui to lead the troops to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and he led the main force of the 88th Regiment and the cavalry regiment to rush to Guisui on war horses to assist Shen Yuquan in the battle.

The battle for Guisui also went smoothly, and an hour after Major General Tanaka Shinichi left, Shen Yuquan received a report from the lurking post that the devils had already crossed the Tumut Left Banner and that they would not be able to return to Guisui City without two hours on foot.

Shen Yuquan resolutely ordered the troops to launch an attack, and the target was Guisui City, the ruling center of the Yue army in Chahar and Suiyuan.

The battle went smoothly, so smooth that Shen Yuquan couldn't believe it, when Shen Yuquan led the soldiers of the two regiments under his command to occupy the outer positions of Guisui, and was about to capture the east gate of Guisui, the puppet army at the head of the city actually shouted to Shen Yuquan and others, asking them whose troops they were.

Shen Yuquan ordered the soldiers to talk and say that it was the Eighth Route Army led by [***], and the puppet army in the city further asked which unit of the Eighth Route Army they were, and the soldiers replied that it was a unit under the command of Commander Han Yunhua.

But what happened next was far beyond everyone's expectations, the city gate was opened, the Inner Mongolia Military Region did not fire a single shot, and the city gate of Guisui was opened, and it was automatically opened from the inside. And the more than 300 devils stationed at the East City Gate were tied to the ground by pseudo-military ropes like zongzi, and all of them were strangely asleep.

Shen Yuquan had to guard against such a strange thing, and only after asking did he know that these puppet troops were all subordinate to Li Shouxin, deputy commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army, and at nine o'clock today, Li Shouxin, deputy commander-in-chief, personally came to inspect the defense of the city gate. During this time, he gave several orders to several officers, asking them to make a large number of wine and food at half past nine to reward the imperial army, and secretly told these officers to put a little drug called Baiyue drunkenness in the wine. If the Eighth Route Army attacks the city tonight, if it is President Han Yunhua's troops, then surrender obediently, and if other troops come, they will "wake up" the imperial army to counterattack. If the Eighth Route Army does not attack Guisui tonight, then tomorrow morning it will be said that the imperial army is drunk, and nothing will happen, so this is the scene just now. This kind of thing happened not only at the East Gate, but also at several other gates, where the Eighth Route Army suffered a lot of casualties when attacking the positions on the periphery of Guisui, but did not suffer any losses when attacking the city wall of Guisui.

After entering the city, under the leadership of the puppet army of the battlefield uprising, Shen Yuquan's troops quickly occupied some important commanding heights in the city, and of course there were tragic street battles with the devils. Although the puppet army is nominally an ally or auxiliary army of devils, in fact, no devil treats the puppet army as a human being, so there are no devils who believe in the puppet army around them. Therefore, these puppet soldiers who flaunt their might in front of the Chinese people are like dogs that can understand human words in front of the devils, so the contradiction between the puppet army and the devil is not much smaller than the contradiction between the ordinary Chinese people and the devil.

There were not many defenders in Guisui originally, and nearly 30,000 people were successively transferred by General Terauchi Shouichi to fight in eastern Hebei, and the few remaining wings were also transferred to Zhuozishan County to besiege and monitor Han Yunhua's troops left in Jining. Tonight, Shen Yuquan sent one of the last two infantry wings in the city to Baotou to rescue Major General Okada Motokuji, so now there is only one infantry wing and a small number of gendarmes in the city. The four divisions of Li Shouxin's department, which had high hopes for Lieutenant General Hasunuma, mysteriously disappeared after the battle, but these Lieutenant General Hasunuma did not know.

The Eighth Route Army's siege of the city was already expected by Lieutenant General Liannuma, and it was reasonable that the peripheral positions were lost, and it was an indisputable fact that there was a shortage of major generals in Guisui City.

But to the disbelief of Lieutenant General Liannuma, the Eighth Route Army attacked the inner city of Guisui in less than half an hour after launching the siege, and all the city gates were breached, and the thousands of imperial soldiers guarding the city gates did not survive, and now the Eighth Route Army has attacked the headquarters of the Mongolian Corps.

"Your Excellency Commander, we still have more than 300 royal guards assigned to you by His Majesty the Emperor, let's escort you to break through! Is it too late? The captain of the guard, Zangjin Xiali Shaozo, said urgently.

Lieutenant General Liannuma seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden, his voice was hoarse and abnormal, and he said slowly: "Zangjin Jun, it's already late, I think it was those cowardly people who betrayed the Great Empire, otherwise the Eighth Route Army would not have been able to attack the city so quickly." It is even more impossible to go straight to the headquarters of our Mongolian Corps as soon as they enter the city, and now it is no longer meaningful to break through. ”

"Hay, Your Excellency the Commander is right, so what should we do now?" Zangjin Xiali Shaozo asked.

"Now we don't have a chance to turn the book, but we can't let the dog of China have a good time, you order all the members of the guard to equip all the submachine guns that His Majesty the Emperor gave to your guard, and guard the dozen or so buildings in front of and behind the headquarters for me, no matter what, I have to hold out for an hour, I must destroy the important materials as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a disaster for the empire if these things fall into the hands of the people." Zangjinjun, please! Lieutenant General Hasunuma said.

Zangjin Xiali Shaozo said loudly: "Then let's meet at the Yasukuni Shrine, if there is a future life of Zangjin hope to be your subordinate, it is said that this empire is onboard (long live), and His Majesty the Emperor is onboard (long live)!" ”

"Great Say: This Imperial Board (Long live), His Majesty the Emperor Board (Long live)!" …………… At 10 o'clock in the evening, except for the headquarters of the Mongolian Corps, the fighting in other places in Guisui City has basically subsided, but more than a dozen courtyards and buildings near the headquarters are still under the control of the devils, including the residence of Lieutenant General Liannuma, the commander of the Mongolian Corps.

After a long time of attacking, not only the soldiers of the Second Brigade of the Provisional Reading Force who were in charge of the attack were a little angry, but even Shen Yuquan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore. However, Shen Yuquan still saw a little bit of the way from it, these soldiers around the headquarters of the Mongolian Corps are not ordinary devils at all, these people are equipped with almost all submachine guns, such a luxurious configuration is rare on the Chinese battlefield, and after fighting with the army for such a long time, Shen Yuquan is the second time to hear that there is such an army. The first time was when the headquarters was destroyed, and the surviving soldiers said that the enemy was all automatic firepower, and the firepower intensity of their 38 Dagai was not at the same level as that of others, and today he finally met such an army.

Shen Yuquan had heard that there were two units of the Chinese army on the battlefield that deserved special attention, the first of which was a special unit trained by the Chinese army, whose name seemed to be "Special Advance Killing Squad." The second is the tank unit of the Chinese army, China lacks anti-aircraft guns and concrete anti-tank cones to defend against tanks, and a force of only three tanks can bring many variables to any battle, so it is worth paying special attention to.
