Chapter 35: The Enemy Changes, and I Change!
As the righteous path thinks, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen in the next second. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor the Japanese troops stationed in Duolun, they always felt that they could hold out for at least a day or more.
On the other hand, the officers and soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division of the Eighth Route Army, who were in charge of the feint outside the city, also did not expect the city gate to be opened like this. In the face of Duolun City, where the city gate was wide open, it was naturally impossible for them to continue to stay at the city gate, so they could only take advantage of the situation to launch a real offensive against Duolun.
Even the saber special combat team that planned this conflict between the Japanese puppet army was also very surprised. Just a few black guns and shot a few officers of the Japanese puppet army, which made the Japanese puppet army in the city red-eyed and let the cavalry outside the city take advantage.
After receiving a telegram from the 1st Cavalry Regiment, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division was also surprised: "Well, how did this battle go?" How did a regiment attack on Duolun City? Didn't you say that there was a Japanese infantry brigade and a puppet army garrison regiment in Duolun? ”
When sending two regiments to take up the task of feints, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division also told them to try to avoid a strong attack in the battle against Duolun. If there are really heavy casualties, He Zhengdao will definitely not spare him.
In the independent column, all officers and men hope to win the battle and fight the fortified position. But everyone knows that it is not easy to accomplish such a task. With a commander like He Zhengdao, any operation will be very demanding.
Just as the 2nd Cavalry Division continued to inquire about the situation and warned the officers and men of the 1st Regiment to be cautious. The Saber Special Combat Team soon sent a telegram explaining their plan for a Japanese puppet war in the city.
The chief of staff of the Second Cavalry Division, who finally understood the reason, also felt incredulous and said: "No! There were only a dozen of them, and they made such a big move. It seems that for this army, it really can't be judged by common sense! ”
I guess they can't even think of it. Over the years, as we have progressed, those puppet soldiers who work hard for the little devils are afraid that they don't have the confidence they used to have. It is estimated that they can also see that the little devil is a grasshopper after the autumn, and it won't be long before he is gone! ’
The commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division, after saying these words with a smile, sent a telegram to the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, asking them to change the way of attack, cooperate with the 1st Regiment to control Duolun City, and even send another cavalry regiment to support them soon.
Not long after, He Zhengdao, who also received the telegram, also sent a telegram to the Second Cavalry Division, asking the Second Cavalry Division to slow down the attack. At the very least, the battle should be extended to daylight to create an opportunity for the 3rd Infantry Division to encircle and annihilate the puppet Mongolian army.
According to the current marching speed of the puppet Mongolian army, it is estimated that it will be able to reach the ambush circle set by the 3rd Infantry Division at dawn. If Duolun City is taken before dawn, it is estimated that Li Shouxin will definitely retreat and immediately change the direction of the march.
The puppet Mongolian army, which was marching rapidly, was naturally very surprised when they received a telegram urging from the defenders of Duolun City. In their opinion, Duolun City is also a fortified city, how can it be attacked with just some Eighth Route Cavalry?
Faced with Li Shouxin's question, Matsuda Dazuo said helplessly: "The garrison of the Imperial Association Army, which cooperated with Miyagi Dazuo to defend the city, rebelled at a critical time." With their help, the city gates were opened and the Eighth Route Army was allowed to enter the city. ”
Li Shouxin, who learned of this situation, also seemed very surprised. It's just that thinking of the Japanese army's attitude towards these puppet soldiers, Li Shouxin feels that this kind of thing is not surprising.
Many times, these little devils who seem to value them are very wary of them when they are not fighting. When there is a battle, I remember to be kind to these puppet soldiers, which is a bit too realistic.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army's mass work and rebellion work have done a good job, and in order to save their lives, it is very possible for some puppet troops to fight back against each other. In the final analysis, it will cause this result, or the little devil usually does not do enough to buy people's hearts!
'Dazuo, what do we do now?' Moving on? ’
'Yes! The situation is very dangerous right now, and we have to speed it up. Li Jun, you are familiar with the situation in Duolun, in this case we can only divide our troops to advance, you lead the cavalry division to rush over first, and I am responsible for commanding the follow-up troops to rush over. ’
Hearing Matsuda Dazuo's words, Li Shouxin said with some surprise: "Dazuo, is it a little inappropriate to divide the troops at this moment?" ”
'I can't do that much now!' You and I both know that if Doren really falls, I'm afraid that we will not be able to escape the punishment from above. According to Miyagi Daisa's telegram, they are still in control of the situation in the city.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Eighth Route Army did not have many troops entering the city, if we could arrive in Duolun in advance, we might be able to cooperate with the Duolun defenders to encircle and suppress the attacking Eighth Route Army. If you can make this contribution, I believe that Your Excellency the Commander will not treat Li Jun badly. ’
As the supervisor of this trip, Matsuda Daisa is very clear about Li Shouxin's character. If you don't give some benefits to tempt, I'm afraid that Li Shouxin won't work hard. Throwing out this credit, he believes that Li Shouxin will not refuse.
Although I knew that it was very dangerous to lead a cavalry division to the rescue of Duolun alone. But Li Shouxin also knows that the benefits behind this risk are very large. If he can really keep Duolun, he will definitely be the first hero.
When the time comes, in the Kwantung Army, it is believed that he will be given a higher position and more rewards. Faced with this kind of high-risk and high-return thing, Li Shouxin finally chose to gamble.
What's more, Matsuda Daisa said so if he chose to refuse. may be able to guarantee these troops, but once Duolun is captured by the Eighth Route Army, then the fate that awaits him will not be too good.
After hesitating for a while, Li Shouxin said: "Okay, then trouble Matsuda Dazuo to replace my palace, I will definitely do my best to rush to Duolun." When the time comes, I hope that Matsuda Osado will say a few kind words for Li in front of the commander! ”
'Yo! Li Jun's loyalty to the empire, I will definitely convey it to His Excellency the Commander. I also hope that Li Jun can go all out next, if he can successfully arrive, I believe that the credit of this battle, Li Jun should be the first credit! ’
Seeing that Li Shouxin was willing to lead the cavalry division to rush in advance, Matsuda also seemed relieved. Even if his trip was more of a role in supervising the war, he also knew that if Duolun lost, he would also be unable to escape the blame.
Perhaps because he understood this, he was also very polite when he treated Li Shouxin. It's more about using fame and fortune to lure Li Shouxin, so that he understands how much benefit he can get after achieving his goal.
Faced with the sudden division of troops by the puppet Mongolian army, Lu Zhencao, who learned of the situation, also seemed a little surprised. Even He Zhengdao, who received the telegram, also frowned a little and said: "It seems that the little devil should have received Duolun's telegram!" ”
'Yes! The puppet Mongolian army is now divided into two routes, letting the cavalry division go first, and I think it is also because I think the cavalry is faster. The infantry brigade that stayed behind, if it wants to put it into the ambush circle together, I'm afraid it won't be easy! ’
As the chief of staff, Ye Jianying also did not expect the situation to turn out like this. It's just that thinking of the changes in the situation in Duolun City, it makes perfect sense for the Japanese army to make such a troop adjustment.
After thinking for a while, He Zhengdao said decisively: "Send a report to the Third Infantry Division and let them be responsible for cleaning up this pseudo-Mongolian cavalry division." The third cavalry division was ordered to increase the intensity of the blockade and strive to surround the puppet Mongolian infantry brigade behind the palace.
Wait for the 3rd Infantry Division to finish cleaning up the Puppet Mongolian Cavalry Division, and then cooperate with the 3rd Cavalry Division to start the encirclement. In any case, the main force of the puppet Mongolian army that opened from Zhangjiakou cannot let them escape again this time. ”
'Yes, Commander! ’
By the way, tell Lu Zhencao to try to be as fast as possible when attacking. Otherwise, when the day comes, I'm afraid the situation will change again. After solving the puppet Mongolian cavalry division, a part of the infantry was dispatched to ride to the next battlefield. ’
Considering that after dawn, it is possible that the Kwantung Army will send aircraft to support. He Zhengdao felt that as long as the puppet Mongolian army did not retreat, they still had a chance to be completely annihilated. But at this time, we must grasp it well.
After saying these words, He Zhengdao continued: "Chief of Staff, send a telegram to our three infantry divisions and armored brigades, and order their air defense units to be sent out for air defense from tomorrow.
Once you find the little devil reconnaissance plane, find a way to take it down. If a large number of aircraft of the Kwantung Army are discovered, the troops must be prepared for air defense. In terms of camouflage, all units must strictly implement the system of pre-war orders. ”
As the main force of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army advanced into the grassland, the open area was also more conducive to the reconnaissance and attack of the air force. Therefore, before issuing the order to open the air, He Zhengdao also asked all units to organize air defense drills.
At the same time, the clothing factory successfully developed and rushed to produce camouflage camouflage nets, which were also sent to all units. During the day, when the armored brigade is resting, the combat vehicles must be equipped with this camouflage net.
As long as the ground personnel do not come out at will, even if the troops are stationed on the steppe. I believe that if you look at it from the air, you can't find the troops camouflaged on the ground. You must know that this camouflage method was also practiced by the defense forces in later generations.
All units have been equipped with antiaircraft machine guns and small-caliber antiaircraft guns, which have also given them a certain amount of air defense and counterattack capabilities. If the little devil really underestimates the air defense of the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that the air force of the little devil will also be killed!
He Zhengdao, who quickly adjusted the operational deployment, issued combat orders to the troops on the front line from time to time in the rear. In doing so, the commanders and fighters in the front also have a clearer command idea, and they only need to follow He Zhengdao's orders.
After receiving the order from He Zhengdao, although Lu Zhencao felt a little regretful, he knew that it would be good to have the opportunity to clean up a puppet Mongolian cavalry division. After all, compared to the other two infantry divisions, their division can be regarded as having won the first big battle.
With the news that the cavalry in charge of reconnaissance came to the puppet Mongolian cavalry division one after another, Lu Zhencao also further shrank the ambush circle. As long as the puppet Mongolian cavalry division crashes in, they can close the net and capture it!
It's just that in Lu Zhencao's heart, he still hopes that Li Shouxin, who hopes to come the most, can be in this cavalry division. In this case, maybe this battle will be more meaningful to them! (To be continued.) )
