Although the Kwantung Army's response was not slow, as the commander, Mei Xianjimiro saw the strategic significance of the Xilin Gol League. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but if you want to send reinforcements, it's not easy either.

As the saying goes, 'far water can't save near fire', for the Japanese puppet army stationed in the Xilin Gol League at this moment, the fire suddenly burned by the Eighth Route Army, even if the Kwantung Army has the ability to extinguish it, it will not be able to rush to the war in a short time.

The reinforcements of a main division and an independent mixed brigade are enough to show the importance that Mei Jimiro attaches to this battle. It's just that if these two troops want to come over, it will take a certain amount of time to make it possible.

After all, now that the heavy snow is beginning to melt, many parts of the grassland are not easy to walk. The restrictions on the road, naturally, also brought certain troubles to the march. What's more, how could He Zhengdao allow the Japanese army to easily rush to reinforcements?

When the advance brigade went deep into the Xilin Gol League to carry out the sweep, the newly expanded special division was also not idle. As the most elite unit of the Eighth Route Army, they naturally have an advantage that other units cannot match in reconnaissance and attack.

In order to strengthen the mobile strength of the special division, He Zhengdao also equipped the special division with a large number of horses and cars. They don't need to pay attention to the battle with the garrison of the Xilin Gol Alliance, all they have to do is pay attention to the troops on the periphery.

Guo Junjie, who personally commanded the Xilinhot attack, also knew about the existence of the special division. With special divisions around them to keep them on guard, the advance brigade can also let go of its hands and feet to speed up the recovery of the Xilin Gol League.

Compared with other flags, because there are not many troops stationed, Guo Junjie did not transfer too many troops from the advance brigade. But in Xilinhot, the Kwantung Army deployed a brigade of troops here alone.

In addition, this Kwantung Army was also equipped with a small number of infantry guns, and its combat effectiveness was naturally higher than that of the Japanese troops stationed under other flags. In addition, with the assistance of the puppet Mongolian army, it is naturally not possible to prepare more troops.

Fortunately, in this attack on the Xilin Gol League, He Zhengdao also transferred a saber special combat team under his command to cooperate with the advance brigade to fight. Before the offensive battle of the night began, the Saber special combat team implemented the decapitation tactic.

First take down the Japanese infantry artillery squadron, and use the infantry guns equipped by the Japanese army to carry out artillery bombardment of the Japanese headquarters in the city. This kind of rebellious move also made the puppet Mongolian army in the city a little unable to react.

After the city gate was wide open and a main regiment of the advance brigade rushed into the city, the puppet Mongolian army in the city quickly disarmed and surrendered. As for the Japanese infantry brigade stationed here, it was finally annihilated in the city after a fierce battle.

Guo Junjie, who received the news and went to the city to take over the defense, also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, this time the group is fighting well!" Taking Xilinhot, a strategic place, will make the next battle much easier.

Order the troops to purge the remnants of the enemy in the city from now on, and liaise with the underground party in the city to liquidate the local tyrants, shoddy gentry and reactionaries in the city. Put up notices to reassure the people and wait for the arrival of the main force and garrison. ”

It is clear that compared with the advance brigade, it will take a certain amount of time for the other main forces of the military headquarters to arrive. Before the follow-up main force arrived, what they had to do was to keep the fruits of victory and prevent other rebels from robbing Xilinhot again.

Guo Junjie, who temporarily served as the head of the military and political affairs in Xilinhot, was also busy with his feet not touching the ground. It is indeed not easy for him to be responsible for so many things.

Fortunately, the members of the brigade headquarters team of the advance brigade are all military and political backbones selected by He Zhengdao. With the help of these members, Guo Junjie also seemed a lot more relaxed. Anyway, he did not disappoint He Zhengdao and others in this battle.

He Zhengdao, who was rushing to Xilinhot, received a telegram on the way. He Zhengdao, who was sitting on a military vehicle at this moment, also said quickly: "Call back to the advance brigade, and after clearing the remnants of the enemy, drop the main force out of the city to defend the front line of Chifeng." ”

Ye Jianying, who listened to this order, also said with some surprise: "Commander, he now has only one main regiment in his hands, not only to stabilize Xilinhot, but also to defend externally, is he afraid that there will be a shortage of troops?" ”

'No problem! What I want is for the advance brigade to set up this frame, so that the Japanese puppet army who rushed to reinforce know that the Eighth Route Army will no longer attack, but switch from offensive to defensive. In this case, it is believed that the Japanese army will also slow down their march.

This tactic was to mislead the Japanese into thinking that we did not want to attack anywhere else, but wanted to digest the fruits of this victory. Even if the little devils are not fooled, we have a lot of troops there.

Our three cavalry divisions should be able to reach the Xilinhot area for reinforcements first before the little devils. Advance brigade units that are deployed elsewhere can also join the brigade headquarters after the battle.

The follow-up maintenance and management of the flags can be transferred to the local guerrilla brigade. As for the military and political cadres and troops that we have drawn from the rear, we only need to rush over and take over these recovered areas. ’

briefly explained his deployment intentions, and Ye Jianying also felt very reasonable after listening to it. When the order was transferred to the advance brigade, Guo Junjie also felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't say much.

After ordering the nearby troops to hand over some of the recovered general flags to the local underground party and guerrillas to take charge of the management, they quickly rushed to join the main force. In this way, the number of troops assembled in Xilinhot will also continue to increase in the future.

As for the possibility of rebellion in other general banners, with the main forces of cavalry and infantry coming one after another, I believe that if you dare to rebel, there will be no good end. Therefore, the danger is actually not high.

Last night's fierce battle in the city was undoubtedly a night of extreme panic for many people in the city. After dawn, there were still many people who did not dare to go out at will, for fear of being shot by the troops in the city.

Wars often cause civilians to suffer, and it is reasonable that the people will be afraid!

Until the Eighth Route Army, which stabilized the situation in the city and took over the Japanese puppet machine gun in the city, also quickly organized a propaganda team to shout. Hearing the shouting from outside the door, many people hiding at home opened the door in disbelief.

'Boss, did Balu really beat away the little devil? ’

Some timid women looked a little suspicious when they listened to the shouts outside the door. Although this is a place under the jurisdiction of the puppet Mongolian government, most of the people living here are actually Han Chinese.

Naturally, they also knew some things about the Eighth Route Army. Even the people don't believe in the rumors of the Eight Roads. But now, they can't help but believe it.

'I don't know! However, looking at the GIs in the past just now, it seems that they are really not little devils and those yellow skins. If there are still little devils in the city, it is estimated that these eight roads will not dare to shout so loudly.

You stay at home with the kids first, and I'll go outside to see how things are going. Don't go out easily until I come back. It was finally stopped for two years, but the city was in chaos again. In this year, when will we be able to live a peaceful life! ’

It is not difficult to hear from the words of the people that many people seem to be a little indifferent to who is in charge. For many people, as long as they can survive, they have learned to live a life of resignation.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, the man who walked out of the house was scared. But he also knows that if he doesn't figure things out, he can't stay at home every day!

It didn't take long for the man to see some neighbors nearby. Many people are like him, and they go out of the house with the mentality of trying and seeing. As for women and children, they were not to be seen on the whole street.

Looking at these smiling patrols of the Eighth Route Army, many of the people who gathered together also muttered: "These Eighth Route Army seem to be very friendly!" ”

They usually go out on the street, and they have to pay for smiling faces when they encounter little devils and puppet soldiers. Some ordinary people who are accustomed to laughing and laughing, when they see these officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route patrolling, will hurriedly stand on the side of the road and let these troops pass first.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that these Eighth Route officers and soldiers didn't talk to them, but they also returned a smile and continued to walk forward. Even if there is only a small smile, it makes many people feel the kindness that they have not seen for a long time.

As more and more people came out of the street, they soon found notices posted throughout the city. The well-read people quickly acted as propagandists, explaining the meaning of the notices to the people.

After listening to the words on the notice, many people who came out to see the situation seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Originally, they did not guess wrong, Xilinhot was really recovered by the Eighth Route Army, and the troops stationed in the city in the future will also be replaced by the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, some of the people who came out first shouted all over the street at this moment: "Quick, big guy, go outside the city and take a look, the Eighth Road is cleaning up the corpses of the little devil and the yellow skin!" Last night, they really killed a lot of people! ”

Watching the excitement is what every citizen is keen on, and this kind of cleaning up the corpse naturally attracts many people to wait and see. Even to the people's surprise, many people in the city helped Balu to collect these corpses.

'Huang Daring, how do you help Balu do things? Aren't you afraid that the little devil will come to you for your life in the future? ’

'I'm afraid of a fart! I'm here to do a good deed and collect their bodies!" What's more, the army of people also pays wages. Lao Tzu can't afford to eat, so what kind of little devil asks for his life! ’

Listening to the words of the people in the corpse collection team, the onlookers also seemed surprised, and seemed to be shocked by this kind of thing of helping to collect the corpse and giving money. You know, in the past, the little devils and the puppet army worked for them for free!

All kinds of fresh insights and news have also slowly dispelled the concerns of the people. Even with the establishment of the provisional military government and the posting and propaganda of various policies, the people in the city gradually felt the benefits brought to them by the Eighth Route Army.

This also reassured the people who were worried that the Eighth Route Army might not be stationed in Xilinhot. They all knew that from now on, like the people of Suiyuan and Ulanqab, they would become citizens under the rule of the Eighth Road.

Even if life will not be too easy, but at least the days of fear will be far away from them. If you want to live a good life, as long as you work hard, you can achieve it sooner or later! (To be continued.) )
