Chapter 444 is to take the first credit
When Captain Zhang heard that he was not besieging the main force of the Japanese army, his face was full of self-reproach, and he took the initiative to come to the headquarters of the first regiment to ask for guilt.
Sun Weiguo did not make any criticism of Captain Zhang, and Sun Weiguo was also responsible for this matter.
At present, the intention of the Japanese troops to withdraw is obvious, Sun Weiguo plans to let go of the Japanese troops and concentrate his forces to eat the besieged Japanese troops first.
The little devil ran to Bianguan County, they thought it was safe, but Sun Weiguo would not let them go, and after eating the besieged Japanese troops, Sun Weiguo would quickly take the troops to Bianguan County, and he wanted to annihilate all the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army.
If it weren't for Sun Weiguo's lack of troops, even Sun Weiguo would have been ready to directly attack Chahar Province.
Fierce fighting ensued between the divisions, and the three battalions of the 1st Reserve Regiment quickly launched an attack on the Japanese troops stationed in the village.
This night is destined to be unquiet, and the sound of gunfire here in Hequ County is constantly ringing, and after dawn, the sound of gunfire here gradually stops.
On March 22, 1938, the Left Route Army fully recovered Baode County, Hequ County, which lasted nearly a week, and the Battle of Baohe officially came to an end, in this battle, the Left Route Army annihilated an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, severely damaged three infantry brigades of the Japanese army, defeated a cavalry division of the puppet army, a cavalry wing of the Japanese army, incorporated two regiments of the puppet army, and disintegrated two cavalry divisions of the puppet army, resulting in more than 4,000 casualties of the Japanese puppet army, and the casualties of the left route army also reached nearly 3,000 people.
At the same time as the comprehensive recovery of Baode County and Hequ County, Sun Weiguo, in the name of the commander of the Left Route Army, once again issued an operational order, stationed the 6th Garrison Regiment in Baode County, stationed the 1st Independent Detachment in Hequ County, and the 1st Reserve Regiment, the 1st Independent Regiment, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment quickly advanced towards Pianguan County.
Sun Weiguo remembered in his heart the casualties caused by Momoyo Kunomura to his troops, and Sun Weiguo would definitely take revenge on this matter.
He encouraged the soldiers to make persistent efforts and go to Bianguan County first, even if it was to surround Bianguan County.
However, what disappointed Sun Weiguo was that although Kunomura Momoyo was under the order to withdraw to Bianguan County, in fact, he took the Araki Brigade and other troops to do a temporary rest in Bianguan County, and when the two reserve brigades arrived, he immediately began to withdraw to Chahar Province with his troops, and when Sun Weiguo led his troops to Bianguan County, it was already an empty city.
At 12 o'clock at noon on March 22, the military flags of the Chinese troops began to be erected on the city wall of Biguan County, which represented the recovery of Biguan County by the Chinese troops.
At the same time that the Left Route Army successively regained Baode County, Hequ County, and Biguan County, the 358th Brigade of the Right Route Army conquered Shenchi County, and when the Japanese troops in Wuzhai County learned that the counties on both sides of it had been occupied by Chinese troops, they immediately abandoned Wuzhai County and fled.
After coming here, Division Commander He immediately set up a division headquarters, and Political Commissar Guan began to take political workers to pacify the people in the county.
"Division commander, Comrade Weiguo Lianke three counties, this time the first regiment of Comrade Weiguo in the northwest of Shanxi Province has to be credited with the first merit, I really didn't expect that Comrade Weiguo would be able to defeat more than 10,000 puppet army troops. In addition to the reserve of the first regiment of the Left Route Army, we all know what the two Jinsui regiment-level troops are like, the first independent detachment is just expanded by our division, and the poor of the sixth garrison regiment are going out to fight with big swords and spears, but he Sun Weiguo commanded these troops to win the battle, which is not simple. ”
Chief of Staff Zhou came to the front of Division Commander He, and he said with emotion.
"The headquarters has already won a brigade establishment for him, and with this record, even if our door-slamming Commander Yan is stingy, he will give Weiguo a brigade establishment. It's a pity, if only Wei Guo could stay in our 120th Division. Master He said with emotion.
Chief of Staff Zhou looked at Division Commander He, he couldn't help but show a puzzled expression on his face, and before he could ask, a staff officer walked over quickly.
"Division commander, chief of staff, and commander Liu of the 129th Division called, hearing that we won the battle, and their 129th Division wanted to send us a batch of condolences." The staff officer came to Commander He and Chief of Staff Zhou, he saluted the two chiefs, and then he spoke softly.
"Look at it, Senior Commander Liu wants us to release people, I'm afraid that as soon as we loosen our mouth here, the troops of the defense of the country will run to them." Master He was holding a pipe, and he said with a smile, with a reluctant expression on his face.
"The 129th Division is going to form the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region, and at present they have begun to prepare for the establishment of the Jin-Hebei-Henan Military Region, and all the units are guerrilla units and local troops that have just developed, and they lack the main force, and at present, the main force of the 129th Division cannot be transferred to the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region for the time being.
Chief of Staff Zhou said helplessly, he felt that if Division Commander Liu spoke, the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters would most likely agree.
"Let's not talk about this matter for a day, I haven't sent electricity to the headquarters for a day, you quickly arrange for the staff officer to send power to the headquarters, otherwise Vice President Peng is afraid that he will lose his temper." Division Commander He looked at Chief of Staff Zhou and said.
After Chief of Staff Zhou saluted Division Commander He, he immediately walked outside, and soon a telegram was sent from the headquarters of the 120th Division to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
And here in Zhuangbi Village, Wuxiang County, Shanxi, it was a meal at this time, Vice President Peng took a nest head and ate two bites, he looked at the map, and his face showed a contemplative expression.
As early as the beginning of February, the Japanese North China Front launched a pacification operation against the Jinghan Line, the north bank of the Yellow River and the southern part of Shanxi Province to ensure the safety of its occupied areas, and the Japanese army gathered more than 50,000 heavy troops and began to attack.
The operation in the northwest of Jin Province launched by the garrison corps was also to prepare for the North China Front's operation against the south of Jin, but the plan of the garrison corps in Mongolia had failed miserably, and the Japanese army's plan to capture the northwest of Jin Province would also go bankrupt at any time.
"Vice President Peng, the boss is calling, let's leave immediately." The left deputy chief of staff came to Vice President Peng, and he urged softly.
As early as February, when the Japanese North China Front began to implement the battle plan, Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater, began to divide the divisions of the Second Theater into the East Route Army, the West Route Army, the South Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army.
However, after the Mongolian Corps took action against the northwest of Shanxi, it was the main force of the 120th Division that affected Vice Peng all the time, and Vice President Peng, who had not been reported for a day, was a little anxious.
"Vice President Peng, the 120th Division Headquarters has sent a good report." Just as Vice President Peng was about to transfer, a staff officer walked over quickly and reported.
