Chapter 573: Reserves Attack

The Japanese army was in turmoil. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The Japanese troops on the front line were cut off from communication, and they were in chaos, fighting separately, seeing the retreat of friendly forces, thinking that the other side had received an order to retreat. So some thought to retreat, organize the troops, and retreat south.

The phone calls of the two troops were still good, they received a call from the headquarters located in Suizhong County, and after holding out for an hour, reinforcements were coming. The two troops then insisted on not retreating and continued to fight to the death.

These two Japanese troops who insisted on not retreating were also in turmoil.

You know, there are some recruits in the Japanese army. When the recruits saw the people fleeing, they also moved their minds, and some even followed, and the officers began to kill people to prevent the retreat, and for a while, the order of the position was disordered.

At half past seven in the evening, the sun was sinking in the west.

The Northeast Democratic Alliance Army still did not cease fighting, attacking the Japanese positions from the north and east sides. A large number of troops were also sent from the southwest to prepare to surround the Japanese from the south side.

The Japanese also saw the intentions of the other side and moved almost all the forces that could be mobilized to the south. If it is surrounded, the consequences will be unimaginable.

According to Division Commander Lin's tactics, it is necessary to prepare a reserve team, and at the most critical time, the reserve team will press up, and this will be fine.

The reserve was Yang Jingyu's 15,000-strong troops.

The reserve was ambushed in the western hills of the Japanese position. After the noon attack began, this unit was already quietly approaching the Japanese position, and the special combat team had wiped out all the observation posts and small guard units on the mountain.

By the afternoon, the troops had reached the western side of the Japanese position. They looked at the troops fighting fiercely at the foot of the mountain and were very envious, but no one was allowed to move without an order.

Finally, at half past seven, the order was given.

More than a dozen signal flares were fired on the west side of the Japanese position, and the rockets that had long been aimed at the troops were fired together with the infantry artillery mortars, and the Japanese positions under the mountain immediately became a sea of fire, and the firelight illuminated the Japanese positions.

More than a dozen trumpets sounded together, and the reserves began to charge. They saw the problem of the deployment of Japanese troops here and seized the opportunity to hit the Japanese army in the back.

The Japanese army was flanked by the front and rear, the formation was in chaos, and a part of the Japanese army began to return to the west to meet the reserves, but unfortunately the number of Japanese troops here was very small, even if the combat strength was strong, it could not maintain a tenacious fighting spirit under the attack on both sides, not to mention that the troops attacking on both sides were powerful armies, and they all had weapons that the Japanese army was afraid of. Because in addition to being superstitious about their own spiritual combat power, the Japanese army is even more superstitious about weapons.

There is also an element that the opponent is attacking from the southeast and is preparing to outflank it. In order to cope with the attack in this direction, the Japanese had to disperse their forces.

The most important thing is that they have been fighting all afternoon, under the attack of the other side, a lot of ammunition is consumed, a lot of personnel is consumed, and the reserves coming from behind are fully loaded, well-armed, and have plenty of ammunition. The Japanese army was suddenly unable to resist.

Several Japanese detachments began to retreat.

When one team retreats, the others have to retreat.

After the Japanese army began to retreat, the reserve found that the number of Japanese troops was not large, and they were afraid that they would not be able to make meritorious contributions, so they rushed to be the first.

By nine o'clock in the evening, all the Japanese troops had withdrawn from their positions. Because Suizhong had already been lost, it had to retreat south along the railways and roads. I didn't want these Manchurian Eighth Roads to relax at all, and pursued until more than 1 o'clock in the night, when the tank replenished diesel fuel and caught up again.

On the morning of September 6, 1942, the headquarters of the Northeast Allied Forces had moved to Suizhong County.

After a night of pursuit, the Japanese retreated to Shanhaiguan. After passing the pass, he joined up with the thousands of Japanese troops who came to help, and finally stood on his feet.

At noon, the results of the battle in Suizhong came out, and in this battle, the Japanese army died more than 40,000 people, and as many as 20,000 Japanese wounded were found on the position. The number of Japanese soldiers killed and wounded during the pursuit along the way has not yet been counted, but according to the reports of the pursuing troops and the underground party, the Japanese troops who escaped the Shanhai Pass were only 10,000, so it can be seen that there should be tens of thousands of dead and wounded along the way.

This time, the wounded Japanese soldiers on the position did not commit suicide as before, because most of them were new soldiers in Japan, and they all knew that after being captured by the Eighth Route Army, they were not abused, they were given medical treatment, food and drink, and possibly work and land. They didn't commit suicide and didn't want to die.

Some Japanese troops in North China were stationed in Qinhuangdao, Shanhaiguan, and Tangshan.

It was at this time that the good news came, the Rehe Column conquered Zunhua yesterday, and captured Yutian County at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the troops pointed directly at Tangshan.

Today, the Rehe Column has expanded its army and has 140,000 troops, of which 70,000 elite troops are advancing to Tangshan. There were not many Japanese troops in Tangshan, and if they were occupied, Tianjin and Beiping would be in danger, because these two large cities did not have many troops.

In the afternoon, the good news came again, the troops in central Hebei, Pingxi, and northern Hebei acted together, the guerrillas cut off the roads and railways, and the large army attacked the county seats, and more than a dozen county towns had already been conquered. The means of communication of these troops were not good, and the news was half a day late.

The troops of the entire Hebei are simply a major counteroffensive, putting on a posture of recovering the whole of Hebei. On this day, the puppet army in all parts of northern Hebei lost more than 100,000 people, and the Japanese army lost thousands, and this trend is still developing.

At noon, the special combat team caused an explosion at some military targets of the Japanese headquarters in Tianjin and the Japanese North China garrison in Beiping. After this explosion, the special combat team immediately retreated and hid according to the plan.

The explosion had a great impact on the Japanese troops in Tianjin and Beiping, and the Japanese army was under military control throughout the city, and the whole city searched for communists, Japanese troops, and puppet police, and they were everywhere, and the people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Xiaolu, who commanded the battle in the command headquarters, planned all this in order to allow the Japanese army to collect its troops and go back to defend the key cities and transportation facilities in Hebei. Even if the Japanese army is not fooled, it is necessary to let the Japanese army form this impression: the Eighth Route outside the pass no longer has the strength to attack Hebei, and the Eighth Route in Hebei is only to attract the Japanese army back to defense.

The Northeast is now facing great difficulties.

The Northeast is now short of food, medicine, and ammunition. The newly arrived puppet army and Japanese prisoners had to eat food, and the common people had to eat. The newly seized food was simply not enough.

Since the government is a people's government, it must not let the people have enough to eat, just like the puppet Manchurian government. Most of the Japanese prisoners were wounded soldiers, and there were many wounded themselves, and there was a clear shortage of medicine. Also, this time the war has already used up all the newly produced ammunition.

Now, if the Japanese army has the ability to mobilize more than 100,000 people, it can drive straight into the field and inflict great casualties on the troops on the small road, and the troops on the small road can only fight hard with them.

Koji knew that the Japanese army did not have this ability. Therefore, I discussed with Yan'an and took the Rehe column attacking behind enemy lines as an emergency solution.

However, various units in Hebei, including local armed forces, apparently participated in the war. A large number of areas in Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi were recovered, and the anti-Japanese government was connected, except for a few large cities, along the railways, and along the important highways.

The Jiang army, guarding against the Jin Sui army, also took the opportunity to expand their territory and occupied a number of cities. On the surface, the Eighth Route Army regained the lost territory, which was very beautiful, but it had to guard against the Jiang army and the Jin Sui army, and it had no strength to help the northeast.

In order to save the Northeast crisis, Xiaolu has another trick. Hope it works.
