Chapter 209: The End of the Battle of Suixi
Compared with the four main divisions that went to Shanxi to resist the war, they are still waiting for deployment, and the telegram sent back by the independent column to engage the little devils also worried Mao Taizu and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Xi'an.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Mao Taizu, Mr. Zhu and others all knew that night was the main battlefield of the Red Army. Fighting with the little devils during the day, there is a high chance that you will encounter the little devils' planes to support the operation.
In the previous Battle of Zhoukou, the army aviation of the little devils often appeared in the sky over the battlefield. Many of the positions defended by the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army were destroyed by the aerial bombs of the little devils. In terms of air supremacy, the little devils have an absolute advantage!
On the other hand, after nightfall, looking at the officers and soldiers of the Second Division who were cleaning the battlefield overnight, He Zhengdao carried the captured general's knife and said with a smile: "Tianlin, how is it?" Before the war, I didn't think this battle would go so well, right? ”
'Indeed! But this time, the little devil should be careless. After this battle, our losses are not small! ’
As the casualties reported by the Second Division and the participating troops one after another, Wang Tianlin, who followed He Zhengdao all the way, was also a little distressed by the casualties of nearly 1,000 people this time. After all, most of the officers and soldiers who died were the elite of the independent column!
Hearing this, He Zhengdao restrained his smile and nodded, "Yes!" After the first battle, there were more than 700 soldiers killed in battle alone, and the combat effectiveness of the little devils was indeed extraordinary. If this is replaced by the Central Army, perhaps our losses will be less than half.
However, compared to the results we have achieved, this loss is still okay. The logistics troops were ordered to send the wounded officers and soldiers to the rear hospital overnight for treatment. The seized medicines were also sent to the rear hospital along with the wounded soldiers.
Other than that. When you report to the headquarters, apply to the central government and the headquarters. Build a martyr's cemetery in Dongsheng. The remains of these martyrs were all buried in the martyrs' cemetery. For posterity generations to pay their respects and mourn. ”
'Good! I'm sure the headquarters will agree! ’
Just as Wang Tianlin was about to send a telegram, He Zhengdao said again: "When sending a telegram to the headquarters and the central government, let them suppress this telegram for one night. I plan to take advantage of this night's efforts to let the cavalry division make a surprise attack on Wuyuan.
A detachment commanded by Song Yuping has already infiltrated Wuyuan City, and will let Niu Zhikun get in touch with the saber at that time. Try to find an appropriate time to take Gohara City for me. In addition, let the Suixi Military Division send an infantry regiment over to take over the defense. ”
'Yes! ’
With the telegram of this victory, Mao Taizu, who was studying the map. Soon I saw the guard with a happy face: "Chairman, telegram!" Telegraph of the independent column, a great victory! What a real victory! ”
Looking at the elated guards, Mao Taizu, who took the telegram, looked at it and said with a smile: "Okay! Pretty! The First World War annihilated the Japanese army as an independent mixed brigade. This great victory, the War of Resistance has not yet appeared! It's a good fight! ”
When Mao Taizu was happy about this good news, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Xi'an, which was far away, was also jubilant. Zuo Quan, who served as the chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, General Peng." Unbelievable! ”
'Yes! Earlier, I thought that even if the independent column had to deal with the incoming Japanese army, it would have to wait until tomorrow night. But who would have thought that it was just nightfall. And they sent their good news back. This speed is so unexpected! ’
took over Zuo Quan's words, and Peng Dehuai, who also looked very happy. He also said such a thing with a smile. At least in Peng Dehuai's view, the independent column dealt with the attacking Japanese puppet army. There should be no problem in winning.
If you want to talk about the generals in the Eighth Route Army who know the Japanese army the most, I am afraid that He Zhengdao will definitely be at the top. Only Mr. Zhu looked at the telegram. With a slight sigh, he said: "The casualties in this battle are only the largest since the establishment of the independent column, right?" ”
In the telegram, in addition to the details of the battle, there were also figures on the casualties of the independent column. Although compared to the results achieved by the independent column, these casualties are almost negligible.
But Mr. Zhu, who knows He Zhengdao, knows very well that this casualty is the largest since the establishment of the independent column. It can also be seen from this that the combat effectiveness of the little devil should not be underestimated!
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhu immediately said: "Chief of Staff, sort out the experience of this battle of the independent column and send it to our divisions." I hope that this combat experience will make our commanders and fighters pay attention to the quality of individual combat against the little devils. ”
The subtext of the words is that it is not easy to fight even the independent column. So next, how difficult will it be to fight against the rest of the main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, which is the elite of the Japanese divisions? The casualties are too big, and they will hurt the muscles and bones!
Even if Xi'an is currently in control, many officers and soldiers of the former Northwest Army have joined the Red Army's garrison one after another. But if you want to send these troops to the battlefield, I'm afraid it will take a while.
In Zuo Quan, he began to sort out the telegram sent by the independent column, and explained the news that the little devil was 100 meters away from **** to the very accurate degree. This is also a warning to the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route who are about to engage the little devil and be careful of the devil's marksmanship.
Although the officers and men of these main divisions have achieved good target shooting, Zuo Quan knows very well that target shooting in the training of the troops is completely different from shooting on the battlefield. The slightest negligence will cost you your life!
And at this moment in Dongsheng City, looking at the weapons that were confiscated one after another, He Zhengdao was also very satisfied: "Not bad! With this batch of weapons, we can almost replace it with an infantry brigade that uses the little devils.
Those field artillery and mountain artillery were handed over to the artillery brigade to take over. As for the weapons of these little devils, Renyi, give you 4,000 38 big covers, which is almost enough for you to arm a main regiment using Japanese-style equipment.
The rest of the standard rifles, all handed over to the reconnaissance brigade. As for the rest of the weapons, they are all put away as reserves for the time being. In addition, the grenadier of the little devil is very powerful, train these weapons, and hand them over to the second division for equipment! ”
'Yes, thank you, Commander! ’
'That's it! This time, your second division is playing well, and I should give you a little sweetness. By the way, the Suixi Military Sub-district also did a lot of work in this operation. Wait a minute, give them 3,000 guns and puppet rifles.
In addition, the crooked handles of the little devils, heavy machine guns, and mortars, the chief of staff also watched and handed them some. The stronger the combat effectiveness of the Suixi Military Division, the higher our voice here. This can be regarded as a reward for meritorious deeds after the war! ’
Li Li, the commander of the military division standing next to He Zhengdao (a guest appearance by Xiaoyu of the book friend Wushui), also said happily: "Thank you, commander!" ”
'Li Li, with these weapons, you can almost form a main regiment. I hope that in the future, your main regiment will soon be able to form combat effectiveness. After all, in the future, your military division will be the main force in our control of Suiyuan. Do you understand? ’
'Yes, please rest assured, commander, that our military sub-division will train hard and complete all the tasks assigned by the column. ’
After the battle, looking at the prisoners who were being escorted back one after another, He Zhengdao felt that it was undoubtedly the best choice to escort them back to the prisoner of war camp in Yulin. In the prisoner of war camps, it is believed that these puppet soldiers will be better educated.
Those who can be mentally reformed will become soldiers of logistics or garrison forces in the future, and it is possible that they may work hard to become soldiers of the main force. If you can't reform your mind, then you should use labor to carry out transformation, because the base areas need labor anyway.
At this time, several special captives attracted He Zhengdao's attention, and looking at the scouts escorting them, He Zhengdao said in surprise: "How did these little devils catch them?" ”
'Report to the Commander, that when we caught them just now, none of them had guns on them, and when we rushed over, they honestly raised their hands and surrendered. Chinese will be a little, as if it is a doctor. ’
Hearing this, He Zhengdao, although he felt a little curious, saw that the other party's military uniform was somewhat different from that of ordinary Japanese soldiers, and He Zhengdao called a little devil with the rank of Shaozuo to his side.
He asked, "Are you a military doctor on the march?" As far as I know, you will generally be in the rear hospital, more in cooperation with the divisional troops. Why, you guys are in an independent mixed brigade? ”
The military doctor who was escorted to He Zhengdao thought that the other party was going to shoot him. After all, they saw earlier that these Red Army soldiers treated those Japanese soldiers, as long as they surrendered without handing over their guns, they were all knocked down with one shot, and few were captured alive!
But what he never expected was that He Zhengdao, who looked young in front of him but should be a commander, could speak Japanese so fluently. This is unbelievable for the young military doctor who has been in China for many years.
'Yes, I am a medic of the 26th Division! This time, he was ordered to act with the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade. My name is Kozo Ikeno, and I and my men are just accompanying military doctors, and we have not harmed any of your country. Please also treat us prisoners of war! ’
Kozo Ikeno?
He Zhengdao, who heard this name, quickly remembered a Japanese actor who was filming in China in his previous life, this name seems to be a bit similar! But looking at each other's faces, the two still don't match!
Thinking of this, He Zhengdao immediately said: "For the Japanese prisoners who surrendered voluntarily, we will give them the prisoner treatment they deserve." But for the war of aggression you have waged, we must punish you against the aggressor.
Of course, as my subordinates said earlier, you surrendered on your own initiative. In this way, I may be able to give you the treatment you deserve as a prisoner of war. But I wonder what kind of medicine you know? ”
In He Zhengdao's view, the level of military doctors in the Red Army is too poor today, even if many people are invited, but there are not many really powerful military doctors. Most importantly, medical equipment is very scarce, and there are even fewer experienced military doctors.
If these little devil military doctors have experience and can persuade them to surrender, they may still be very useful for the construction of military doctors in the Red Army. In the history of the Anti-Japanese War, the Red Army also received assistance from many foreign doctors.
The most famous of these is undoubtedly Bethune from Canada. It is a pity that at present, this doctor, who will always be remembered by the Red Army, has not yet appeared in the Red Army base area. Therefore, the medical level of the Red Army really needs to be improved urgently! (To be continued.) )
