Zhou Lieyang's mood at this time is indescribable in words, and his heart is about to jump out when he sees the Japanese cavalry charging towards them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The two commanders, Ma Zheng and Ma Desheng, arranged for so long, and even did not hesitate to use the entire fourth cavalry regiment as bait, wasn't it just to destroy this Japanese cavalry.

Now it's finally time to pick peaches, but I didn't expect that it was him Zhou Lieyang who made the last profit, looking at the Japanese cavalry in front of him, Zhou Lieyang knew that this must be the main force of the Japanese cavalry, as long as this cavalry unit is eliminated, from now on the entire eastern grassland will be the world of their cavalry division.

You must know that the Japanese army formed a total of two cavalry groups on the Chinese battlefield, one of which was transferred to the North China Front, but it was ended up by Ma Zheng's department in Suiyuan, and all the officials, including the commander-in-chief of the cavalry group, Naito Shoichi, were not spared.

Therefore, Tanaka Kujiro's cavalry group is already the last cavalry of the Japanese army in the entire Chinese battlefield, as long as they are eliminated, the Japanese army will no longer have cavalry units above the formation of a wing, which is extremely beneficial to the situation of the anti-Japanese war in the eastern grasslands and even in the northeast, especially for the anti-Japanese forces and other forces active in the northeast region, this is definitely a great blessing.

You must know that in many areas of the northeast, the terrain is dangerous, although there are some plains, but more of them are deep mountains and dense forests, which are the paradise of Chinese rebels, and most of the anti-Japanese people live in the depths of the dense forests, and only come out when they fight.

In the vast forest and snow field, not to mention motor trucks and tanks, even motorcycles are difficult to pass, so the cavalry is extremely important at this time, so when the Japanese army is dealing with the anti-coalition forces, the cavalry is the main force, so every loss of a cavalry wing is no less than breaking an arm of the Japanese army. If the entire cavalry group is completely annihilated, it will be equivalent to cutting off the Kwantung Army's ability to attack.

More importantly, this time, in order to take revenge on Ma Zheng's department, and at the same time, in order to completely solve the Eighth Route Army in the eastern steppe and deter the Mongolian tribes in the eastern steppe, under the coordination of General Umezu Mijiro, almost all the cavalry of the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchukuo Defense Army were concentrated, in addition to the two cavalry brigades of the cavalry group, there were at least the poetry cavalry wing and 4 puppet army cavalry divisions.

Now the Rehe Military Region has received definite information that the Japanese army has attacked Zalut Banner and Balin Left Banner on one road, and the other road is from Tongliao directly into Chengde, and some infantry is also going to eastern Hebei, with the purpose of containing the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei, worried that it will be flanked during the battle.

Among these three armies, the one in the eastern direction of Hebei is almost negligible, because its task is only to contain and its ability is limited. The most lethal is the other two roads, now if the Japanese army is completely annihilated, then there will be a major loophole in the rear of the Japanese army, and how to fight this battle will be decided by the Eighth Route Army, so whether this battle is fought well depends on the cavalry division.

Now it seems that the war is going relatively smoothly, at this time not only most of the Japanese army is surrounded, but even because the Japanese army has always been dangerous to let the puppet army as cannon fodder, the Japanese puppet army was divided and surrounded, this time Lieutenant General Tanaka Kujiro will not cause much loss to the Saibei Corps even if he really wants to work hard.

Subsequently, under the command of Zhou Lieyang, the cavalry division launched an attack on the Japanese cavalry group.

One side is carefully planned, and the other side is hastily responded. One side is a tired teacher, the other side is energetic, and the results speak for themselves.

The battle finally ended after three hours, and with the exception of a small detachment that scattered and fled, the vast majority of the remaining cavalry of the Japanese cavalry group was annihilated.

During the campaign, the Rehe Military Region of the Saibei Corps completely annihilated the Japanese cavalry group, the 9th and 12th Cavalry Divisions of the puppet Manchukuo Defense Army, totaling more than 16,000 people, of which about 3,000 puppet troops surrendered on the battlefield.

But it's a pity that when cleaning the battlefield, I didn't find the commander of the Japanese cavalry, Lieutenant General Tanaka Kujiro, and I thought that the old guy took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Of course, this battle was not an easy battle for the Saibei Corps, and the cavalry division lost more than 7,000 elites in this battle, which was really painful. You must know that the loss this time is not an ordinary soldier, but a real warrior who has undergone strict training and has also been on the battlefield to kill devils.

A quarter of the 7,000 people were cavalry regiments, and the battle of Temur's department was considered to be a great injury, one-third of the veterans were killed, one-third of the veterans were wounded, and there were less than five hundred people left after the battle of the whole regiment, and the casualty rate was as high as 75%, which made Temur very annoyed, but there was nothing to be done.

After the total annihilation of the Japanese cavalry, the war on the eastern steppe did not end, but only took a turn.

After the battle, Ma Desheng ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield and gather the ownerless war horses, and on the other hand, he sent a report to Ma Zheng in Rehe.

When he received the telegram from Ma Desheng, Ma Zheng was doing a sand table deduction with a group of staff officers at the military region headquarters, and after reading the telegram, he was overjoyed and ordered Ma Desheng's headquarters to rest immediately and wait for new orders.

At the same time, he ordered Huang Haitao's troops to assemble immediately and attack Tongliao and other places where the Japanese defense was empty.

In addition, Ma Zheng also received news that two days ago, the herdsmen of Xinzari Sumu, who were more than 200 miles away from Chengde, found traces of a large number of cavalry passing by, and many Sumu and Gacha were washed in blood along the road.

Ma Zheng is a scheming person, he knows that this time the Japanese cavalry group is coming to Chengde, although Chengde is the largest city in Rehe, but the city fortifications are not very strong, many city walls have been dilapidated, not to mention heavy artillery, even the 60 or 80 caliber mortars usually carried by the little devil cavalry will collapse if they can't withstand a few shots.

Therefore, relying on strong fortifications to confront the Japanese cavalry is not of much use here, if the Japanese cavalry comes, the troops will have no other way but to fight a field battle with the Japanese army.

"Iron Commissar, have the troops been assembled?" Ma Zheng asked Tie Xinlan on the side.

Tie Xinlan nodded and said: "The two infantry divisions and the three reinforced regiments have been assembled, but the commander of the combat effectiveness of these troops is also clear, not to mention the two infantry divisions, the new troops have limited combat effectiveness." At present, the most combat-effective units are the three reinforced regiments, two of which are assault regiments equipped with assault rifles, and the remaining one is a guard regiment of the military region, all of which are extremely strong in combat. ”

"Have you heard clearly about the strength of the Japanese army, how many troops do they have, and who is the commander?" Ma Zheng asked again.

Tie Xinlan immediately replied: "Commander, our military region has just been formed, and it does not have its own intelligence system at all, and all the information has to be provided by the tribes on the grassland and the intelligence department of the corps headquarters. Now it is only known that the route of the Japanese army's surprise attack on Chengde was directly penetrated into Chengde by Tongliao, and it is not clear how many troops it has, who the commander is, what the rank, age, and personality are. ”

Ma Zheng knew that what Tie Xinlan said was the truth, so he could only sigh and say: "Hey, it can only be like this, this is also something that cannot be helped, who made our intelligence system itself relatively weak in intelligence collection capabilities." In addition, most of the little devils were transferred from the northeast region, and we don't know much about the situation over there, so it's good to be able to find out the marching route of the little devils. ”

Then Ma Zheng said: "Iron political commissar, I have just discussed with the staff officers, and I think that it is not a matter for so many troops to stay in the small city of Chengde, and it will not benefit the whole war at all, so we agreed that it is better to transfer the cavalry troops outside the city, and if necessary, they will be transferred to participate in the war, and if there is no need, they will stay outside the city, what do you think?" ”

Tie Xinlan thought for a while and said: "This is a good idea, so Commander, I and the infantry will stay in the city, relying on the favorable terrain and those newly built fortifications in the city to resist the attack of the Japanese army, how about you take the cavalry troops out of the city?" ”

"No, you lead the troops out of the city, and I stay in the city with the infantry, on the one hand, I am better at infantry command, or I am better to stay in the city. Alright, don't say it, I know what you mean, but how can I affect the whole battle for my own safety, carry out the order! ”

Tie Xinlan knew that Ma Zheng was determined to take risks alone, and she knew very well that even if she said that she would not have any results, so she said "yes" and then turned around and walked out of the headquarters.
