After explaining the end of the battle, He Zhengdao ordered the 2nd Division to rest in Dongsheng for one night, and tomorrow the main force moved in the direction of Wuyuan. What they had to do was to attract the Japanese troops stationed in Baotou and Guisui to be transferred out.
As for He Zhengdao, after dinner, he took the reconnaissance brigade and the saber special combat team overnight to Daqingshan to join the main force of the 1st Division. As long as the battle of Wuyuan City started, He Zhengdao believed that the Japanese army in Baotou would send troops to support.
Only when the forces previously deployed by the Japanese army in Suiyuan were mobilized, could He Zhengdao find an opportunity to attack. This time, He Zhengdao did not think about recovering Suitou and Baotou, but hoped to drive away the two cities before the arrival of the Japanese army.
At least in the present situation, the occupation of these two places was somewhat more than worth the cost for the Red Army. In contrast, the ransacking of these two cities would be more advantageous for the time being, with a large number of much-needed supplies obtained.
When leaving the Suixi Military Division, He Zhengdao called the five only captured little devil military doctors and said, "Regarding your handling, I have already reported to the head of my army. Tomorrow, my troops will send someone to send you to the rear.
Although none of you have the blood of the Chinese people on your hands, wearing this military uniform means that you are our enemy. Next, I need you to prove with your actions that you came to China to save lives and not invade.
As long as you can get our approval, then your life safety will be guaranteed. At least for a short time, you will not be able to leave our controlled areas. As for when you will be free, it will depend on how long the next war will last.
As a doctor. You are respected. But what you saved before were all invaders who invaded our country. Therefore. To some extent, you are also accomplices of the murderers of aggression against our country. You too have to bear your sins.
I'm not a general who loves to kill, but in the face of your aggressive advances, we can only fight back resolutely. So, what you said earlier about loving peace, I need you to prove it with practical actions, can it be done? ”
He already knew that this young man was the supreme commander of this unit, and Kozo Ikeno knew very well that this was the biggest promise that the other party could give him. For him. He hated war, but he had to do what he was told.
Speaking of which, he will be sent to travel with the independence 15 mixed into the movement, and it is more that there are people above who are unhappy with them. The reason is also very simple, these military doctors sent to serve with the Japanese army do not seem to like the behavior of the Japanese army very much.
Before they came out, the doctors were worried that they might be shot or captured by the Chinese* army. Now, it seems, their fears have become a reality. Fortunately, Ho Zhengdao. Seems to be a relatively talkative general.
Yes, we all understand. Please rest assured General He, as long as we can ensure the safety of our lives, we are willing to provide you with services within our ability. About your political opinions. In fact, we have also been in contact with some in the Japanese bowl. ’
Regarding Ikeno Kozo's words, He Zhengdao also knows that he is currently in Japan. There are also Japanese communist organizations. However, these Japanese communist organizations are considered to be illegal organizations. During the Anti-Japanese War, he was always the target of arrest by the Japanese government.
Saving the lives of these little devils, in addition to allowing them to impart professional medical knowledge and surgical experience. It is more hoped that in the future, these Japanese military doctors can become a member of the anti-war alliance and break the fighting spirit of the Japanese soldiers who may be captured in the future.
After explaining the matter, Wang Tianlin, as the chief of staff, acted with the Second Division. As for He Zhengdao, he rode to the Daqingshan base area with the reconnaissance brigade overnight. There, the 1st Division had been waiting for a long time.
Ahead of He Zhengdao, there was also a cavalry division commanded by Niu Zhikun. In previous battles, the cavalry division, albeit with considerable losses, was lost. But compared with the puppet Mongolian cavalry division, those who fled fled, those who surrendered, and those who died were undoubtedly much better.
In conjunction with the cavalry division's overnight departure, there was also an infantry regiment of the Suixi Army Division. It's just that they went to Wuyuan, more to take over the defense of Wuyuan. Before leaving, Li Li, the commander of the military division, also changed some equipment for them.
Although the logistical pressure on the troops was increased, the mortars and light and heavy machine guns of the little devils distributed by these columns were undoubtedly very happy to the officers and men of the garrison regiment who went to Wuyuan to take over the defense.
Although they are not as elite as the first and second divisions. But they also received at least half a year of military training in Suixi. Maybe it's not enough to fight a tough battle, but if you defend the city, you still have a strong combat effectiveness.
When He Zhengdao arrived at the Daqingshan base overnight, the sky was already bright. Looking at the expectant faces of the officers and men of the 1st Division resting in the base area, He Zhengdao also knew what they were expecting.
smiled and said, "Okay! Next, you don't have to worry about running out of fights! However, we didn't rest all night, so let me and Xiangdong take a rest first. Nothing special, don't wake me up. ”
'Yes, Commander! You can rest assured! ’
At the same time, the cavalry division, which had also attacked long distances overnight, had not yet reached the Gohara area. But there is still about half a day's journey from Wuyuan City. But they have already circled to the front of Baotou.
This also means that if the Baotou side finds out that they have arrived near Wuyuan City and wants to send troops to support, it will also take a certain amount of time. But at the end of the night, the officers and men of the cavalry division were also tired.
Finding a place where he could hide from aerial reconnaissance, Niu Zhikun also gave the order to rest in place. At the same time, they also reported their location to the column radio station that moved with He Zhengdao.
The Japanese garrison in Baotou, which had not had much rest last night, was somewhat surprised that it could not contact the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade. But the problem is that it is difficult for them to send planes to reconnoiter at night, and even if they are worried, it will not help.
Just when they sent a plane to Dongsheng to reconnoitre, they found that Dongsheng City, which was supposed to be full of gunsmoke, seemed very calm. Only the battlefield outside the city seemed to tell the Japanese pilots that there had been a battle here.
But the question is, with the nearly 30,000 troops of the puppet army, how could it disappear overnight? Even if there are 30,000 pigs, it will take a little time to catch them! What's more, in this army, there is also an independent mixed brigade!
Just when the Japanese army was surprised by the disappearance of this unit, according to He Zhengdao's suggestion, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army issued a telegram at noon. As soon as this telegram came out, the soldiers and civilians who were concerned about the Anti-Japanese War became enthusiastic again.
'A telegram to the army and the people of the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression: The Independent Division of our Eighth Route Army completely annihilated the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in the Dongsheng area of Suixi earlier today, and killed the commander of the Major General Brigade Nangumo Koichiro on the spot.
There were four Japanese officers, and several other officers such as Nakasa. The more than 20,000 pseudo-Mongolian cavalry infantry that cooperated with the Japanese army in attacking our Suixi base area were also defeated. In this battle, the officers and men of our independent division fought bravely, fearless of sacrifice, and finally defeated the stubborn enemy. ’
As soon as this good news came out, the Japanese soldiers who received the telegram felt incredible. As far as the war they have organized so far, there has never been a case where an entire infantry brigade has been completely annihilated. However, the planes reconnoitred and did not seem to be able to find the Japanese troops heading to Dongkatsu.
Compared with the Japanese army, it was incredible, and the rest of the troops who received the telegram also found it unbelievable. Yan Laoxi, who was worried about whether Suixi could withstand it, saw that this telegram's first reaction was that it was fake.
Yan Laoxi still believed in the combat effectiveness of the Red Army. But the problem is that the Japanese army is not muddy. What's more, with the cooperation of more than 20,000 puppet troops, how could the independent column win a battle this night?
Only Fu Zuoyi said thoughtfully: "Commander, it seems that we have all underestimated the combat effectiveness of this independent column. If my expectations are correct, this time the main force of the independent column is only afraid that all of them will be pulled to Suixi in order to end the battle so quickly.
In this way, if the little devil wants to invade Suixi, he must also consider the safety of Guisui and Baotou. At least next, we don't have to worry too much about the Japanese troops coming from the direction of Suiyuan. This also solves our considerable defensive pressure! ”
After listening to Fu Zuoyi's words, Yan Laoxi thought of the independent column, the main force alone had four infantry divisions and one cavalry division, and the total number of troops exceeded 60,000. With a two-to-one ratio, it is possible to win such a battle.
After thinking about it, he said: "Send a congratulatory telegram to the Eighth Route Army, and ask Zhu Yujie what kind of price the independent column paid for this battle." If it is less than 10,000 people, the combat effectiveness of this independent column is incredible! ”
is as concerned as Yan Laoxi, as well as Lao Jiang, who is far away in Nanjing and is preparing to move the capital to Chongqing. Hearing this good news, Lao Jiang naturally felt happy. But seeing that it was an independent division, Lao Jiang felt like eating a fly.
'Niang Xipi, why is this independent division again! Ask the Eighth Route Army, how many men did they lose in yesterday's battle? An independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army is also a little devil of more than 6,000 people. This He Zhengdao, he really has a hand in fighting! ’
Looking at the congratulatory telegrams and secret messages sent one after another, Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "It seems that Xiao He is right again, these people are all turning around and asking about the loss of the independent division!" According to what Xiao He said, the number of casualties will be increased tenfold.
For such a big victory, Lao Jiang, as the chairman of the committee, must always give some pensions and rewards! You must know that there are only more than 20,000 independent divisions, and tens of thousands of people were lost in this battle, and they were almost disabled! ”
Listening to Mr. Zhu's words, Peng Dehuai also smiled and said, "Yes! If Lao Jiang knew that in last night's battle, the independent column only paid more than 1,000 casualties, it is estimated that he would find it even more unbelievable! ”
When the falsely reported casualty figures were reported to Lao Chiang, he learned that the independent division had lost more than 12,000 people in the first battle last night. Lao Jiang nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it seems that the independent division is very tenacious, and the little devil is really difficult to deal with!" ”
In his opinion, the number of the ten main divisions of the Red Army was given before, and a batch of military salaries, weapons and ammunition were given to them, and Lao Jiang was actually very distressed. But now it seems that the idea of letting the Japanese army consume the Red Army is still very successful! (To be continued.) )
