Cheng Wei, commander of the guard battalion of the 21st Brigade, led the 3rd Battalion of the 64th Regiment and the brigade guard battalion to carefully pass through the gaps of the devils, and under the cover of night, finally reached the flank of the Fujiding Wing.

Cheng Wei, as the brigade guard battalion commander, turned out to be the company commander of a combat company, because of his bravery and thoughtfulness, he was selected by Tong Guijie as the brigade guard battalion commander. However, after he served as the commander of the brigade guard battalion, he gradually distanced himself from the war, and this time Tong Guijie was angered by the little devil, so he took the brigade guard battalion and the third battalion of the 64th regiment to carry out the task of attacking the enemy, and naturally he was ecstatic in his heart.

However, he was still very careful, and led his troops to the flank and rear of the Fujiding Wing, and did not attack rashly, until Fujiding's Second Brigade launched a charge towards the mountain in front, and there were only more than 300 devils and some other non-combatants around Fujiding's wing command post, he ordered two battalions to launch a fierce attack on the Devil's Wing Headquarters.

The 21 st Brigade was naturally the most sophisticated in its armament, with not only grenadier heavy machine guns but also three mortars, and as for the squad and platoon commanders and above, they were not only equipped with shell guns, but also equipped with their own large blades.

If it is not equipped with a big knife, it is also equipped with a 38 big cover.

When the soldiers of the two battalions heard the order of the battalion commander Cheng Wei, they immediately killed from one side, and the mortar grenadiers, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns beckoned to the devil, and in the blink of an eye, they tore through the defensive circle of the Fujiding Wing, and one of its squadrons guarding the periphery was killed and wounded in less than five minutes.

Fuji Ding didn't expect the New Fourth Army to suddenly emerge from his side, and he was so shocked that even the pencil in his hand fell to the ground. After a while, he hurried over and picked up the command knife, preparing to lead the people of the wing headquarters to fight desperately with the rushing New Fourth Army, but was grabbed by the chief of staff of the wing, and at the same time called the flag guard squadron leader, asking him to immediately protect the wing commander and the wing flag, and immediately retreat from the other end to join the second brigade occupying the mountain ridge.

In the Japanese army, the wing flag is a symbol, and if the wing flag falls into the hands of the Chinese, it means that the Fujiding wing will be completely destroyed, and the number will be canceled.

And the death of the wing captain in a fierce battle with the Chinese will also shake the nerves of the upper echelons of the empire.

Therefore, it is more important to protect the wing commander and the wing flag than to save a few hundred soldiers.

Seeing this, the captain of the Fujiding Wing had to look at the chief of staff and shout please, and then quickly ran to the side under the protection of the flag protection squadron.

Less than two minutes after the captain of the Fujiding Wing left, Cheng Wei commanded the troops to hit the Fujiding Wing Headquarters, but unfortunately only killed a few Japanese officers who resisted stubbornly, but failed to capture Fujiding, nor did they capture the Wing Flag of the Fujiding Wing.

After Cheng Wei ransacked the command post of the Fujiding Wing, he saw that the Second Brigade of the Fujiding Wing had rushed back from the mountain ridge and immediately commanded the troops to retreat eastward.

However, on the way to retreat, when passing by the Japanese army's field hospital, Cheng Wei took away all the medical equipment and medicines from the field hospital, and by the way, he also sent a few Japanese wounded soldiers who were desperate to return to their hometown.

Under the leadership of Liu Tianshu, the Independent Division would not normally attack the wounded Japanese soldiers, except, of course, if these wounded soldiers did not put their weapons, they still tried to attack the soldiers of the Independent Division.

There is also a situation that if this Japanese army kills innocents indiscriminately in its base area, it is very likely that the independent division will directly wipe out the wounded soldiers.

Of course, after some political study by the Political Department of the Army, the soldiers of the New Fourth Army did not execute those Japanese soldiers who committed the most heinous crimes in front of the public, but adopted a covert method.

According to the words of the division commander, the soldiers of the independent division should be like wolves, even in the face of tigers, they must pounce on them and bite them without fear. A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood, and never owe money.

Under the protection of the Second Brigade, Fuji Ding returned to the wing headquarters that had been beaten to a mess by the New Fourth Army, and saw the chief of staff lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't help but cry.

Then, when he learned that the New Fourth Army had stormed its field hospital and taken away all the medicine and equipment from the field hospital, he couldn't help but angrily curse two hateful sentences, bandits.

The deputy wing captain on the side said with a wry smile: "Wing Captain, fortunately, we came all the way and did not burn, kill and loot the Chinese people, otherwise, these more than 800 wounded soldiers would have turned into cold corpses." ”

Hearing this, Fuji Ding was also in a daze, thinking of the many legends of the independent division, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

However, his Fujiding United, which is now quite neatly organized, has only one second brigade, plus the flag protection squadron, and the rest of the troops have either become hundreds of wounded soldiers moaning in the field hospital, or have become cold corpses, and he felt a misery in his heart.

The commander of the Akiba Division was shocked when he learned that the Fujiding Wing had been attacked by the New Fourth Army and that the Wing Headquarters had been destroyed, but fortunately, the Wing Commander Fujiding and the Wing Flag were still there, but he was still shocked when there were only 1,000 soldiers left in the Fujiding Wing.

It's a pity that the New Fourth Army, which attacked the Fujiding Wing, has disappeared into the darkness before dawn and cannot be pursued at all.

When the Fujiding Wing was attacked by the New Fourth Army, the Shenwei Wing was also attacked by the New Fourth Army from the flank, killing more than 300 imperial soldiers, and the attack of the Shenwei Wing to Gulongkou was forced to stop.

When the Shenwei Wing drove away the attacking New Fourth Army, the 72nd Regiment of the New 7th Brigade and the 69th Regiment of the 22nd Brigade of the Independent Division, under the cover of the artillery directly under the division, successfully broke away from the pursuing Japanese army and broke through to the north through Gulongkou.

By daybreak, Okamura Nintz received a report that the Independent Division, having paid the price of more than 3,000 casualties, had finally escaped from the siege of the Imperial Army and successfully fled to the Yangsan area.

Yes, the Imperial casualties were even heavier than the Independent Division, the Akiba Wing of the 101st Division was beaten to the point that only one brigade was left and it was still fully organized, and the casualties of the Shenwei Wing were more than half, plus the losses of the rest of the troops, since the siege of the Independent Division of the New Fourth Army, the casualties of the Empire were as high as more than 8,000 people.

Of course, the casualties of the independent division after entering eastern Henan were also more than 5,000.

It's just that the battle was fought like this, which made Okamura Ningtz feel unspeakable anger in his heart, and blamed the arrogant guys in the base camp who didn't know the height of the sky, and they had to start the Pacific War, and they had to provoke the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, so that the veterans of the Chinese battlefield were constantly drawn to the Pacific Ocean to defend those isolated islands, so that the combat effectiveness of the troops in the Chinese battlefield dropped dramatically.

If it had been the Imperial Army at the beginning of the war, the ratio of casualties between the enemy and the enemy would never have been like this in a battle like this.

However, there is one thing that Okamura Nintz has not yet figured out, after so many years of war, the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army is no longer the original Eighth Route Army.

In particular, the independent division, after so many years of fighting, has already grown into a strong force, and it is reasonable to achieve such a result.

Liu Tianshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that the troops had finally gotten rid of the siege of the Japanese army, but when he thought of the more than 3,000 brave and fearless soldiers who were sleeping on the hot land of eastern Henan, he still felt a pain in his heart.

Although the troops broke through to the Liangshan area, the 65th and 66th regiments of the 21st Brigade defeated the remaining strength of the two regiments with less than three battalions, and the 64th Regiment also lost more than 200 people.

As for the new 7th and 22nd brigades, only the 72nd and 69th regiments suffered heavy losses, and the rest of the troops suffered almost no losses.

The people in the Liangshan area have always been fierce, and the story of the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan Bo has been spread for a long time in this area.

As soon as the troops arrived at Liangshan, they were immediately greeted by the local Eighth Route Army, and then, with the help of the Eighth Route Army, the brigades of the Independent Division began to rest.

Subsequently, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army sent an urgent telegram from the central authorities, deciding that the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army, which were operating in the Liangshan area, would be merged into the independent division system, and the Hebei-Henan-Shandong Military Region would be established, and the independent division would be changed to the troops of the Hebei-Henan-Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, with Liu Tianshu as commander, Jiang Jinyong as political commissar, and the leaders of the independent divisions and divisions would also serve in the military region accordingly.

In accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the independent divisions and units of the Eighth Route Army operating here were reorganized, and Li Jiangnan, commander of the Eighth Route Army, served as the deputy commander of the military region.

In accordance with the instructions of the higher authorities, the military region has three brigades under its jurisdiction, the 21st Brigade has been renamed the New Ninth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army operating here have been incorporated into the New Ninth Brigade, the 22nd Brigade has been renamed the New 10th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the New Seventh Brigade has been renamed the New 11th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, vigorously develop local troops, strengthen and consolidate the local anti-Japanese democratic regime, and Jiang Jinyong concurrently serves as secretary of the party committee of the Hebei-Henan-Shandong base area.

Knowing that Liu Tianshu's independent division had become a unit of the Eighth Route Army's Hebei-Henan-Lu Military Region, Okamura Ningci couldn't help but sigh at the sky. He knew that Liu Tianshu's troops had gained a firm foothold in the Liangshan area, and it was as difficult to eliminate this Eighth Route Army as it was to eliminate the Eighth Route Army operating in Taihang Mountain.

With the continuous development of the Hebei-Henan-Shandong base area, the situation in North China will become more and more serious.

In the winter of '43, the Japanese army in North China never launched a large-scale sweep against the Hebei-Yulu base area, and by the time the Hebei-Yulu base area came in '44, it had reached more than 20 counties around the Liangshan area.

Okamura Ninz knew that it was no longer realistic to want to sweep the base areas of the Eighth Route Army on a large scale with only the strength of the Japanese army in North China. The only thing that can be done now is to ensure the safety of important cities and the safety of the two major railway transportation arteries, and then on this basis, first carry out a major sweep of the Eighth Route Army's base area in Jizhong, and strive to firmly control this big granary in Jizhong.

It has to be said that Okamura Ningci's vision is still very unique, and he immediately strengthened the safety of the railway transportation line on the North China Plain, deployed heavy troops along the railway, and then used the highway to divide the base area in Jizhong first, digging deep ditches on both sides of the road, and at the same time making a separation zone to prevent the Eighth Route Army from moving rapidly.

At the same time, troops were sent to prevent the Eighth Route Army from reinforcing the Jizhong Plain, and for a while, the situation in the Jizhong Plain became serious. (To be continued.) )
