Although before the breakout, many Japanese soldiers realized that they would not escape death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But no one would have thought that the Eighth Route Army's attack on the 11th Division this time was a comprehensive encirclement in the true sense, and the fight was the idea of encirclement and annihilation.

The armored brigade cooperated with the infantry of the brigade headquarters to storm the Japanese barracks from the front and deal with the remnants of the Japanese troops remaining in the camp. The 1st Infantry Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division were responsible for outflanking the periphery, and the cavalry and infantry were used to block the attack.

It can be said that even the little devils who ran out of the temporary camp would definitely not be able to escape the layers of interception by the Eighth Route Army. With Naito Shoichi being slashed to death by the cavalry regiment on his horse, this division that has not really exerted its combat effectiveness has become a thing of the past.

When this cavalry encounter ended, the cavalry commander looked at the broken corpses that were dragged out of the corpse pile, and said with a little surprise: "So, this old devil in front of you is the division commander of the little devil?" ”

'Commander, it should be! You see, on the military uniform of this old devil, it is obviously the rank of lieutenant general of the little devil! And we briefly checked it before, and there are two more major generals! It's a big net! ’

With the strength of a cavalry regiment, encircling and annihilating a Japanese cavalry squadron that was preparing to flee, it was naturally impossible to make any mistakes. But no one expected that in this Japanese cavalry team, there would be three Japanese generals.

The cavalry commander who learned of this situation also had a feeling of pie falling from the sky, and said with a smile: "Okay! It seems that in this battle, our three regiments have caught the largest net of fish! Quick, report this news to the divisional headquarters! ”

As the commander of the troops, the cavalry commander also knew that such feats were not ordinary. Their cavalry regiment can have such luck, it is indeed worth their snickering. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to cut down the little devil lieutenant general!

And the two cavalrymen who hacked Naito to death couldn't laugh even more. In their opinion, this battle exploit is worth remembering for a lifetime. Even in the future, their children and grandchildren will be proud of their achievements today.

In the final analysis, being a cavalryman for a lifetime may not be able to encounter such an opportunity. After all, the commander of the little devil's division was not under the protection of the army that time. Breaking through with a cavalry squadron is very rare.

After receiving a telegram from the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division also felt surprised and said, "What did you say? The third regiment cut the division commander of the little devil? ”

'Yes, Commander! The previous three regiments intercepted a small devil cavalry that was about to flee, but the other side refused to surrender and wiped it out after a battle. When cleaning the battlefield, I found that there was an old devil wearing the uniform of a little devil lieutenant general.

In addition to this old devil, the third regiment also found the bodies of two little devil major generals. If nothing else, this team should be the headquarters of the Little Devil Division, but it was met by the Third Regiment. ’

'This guy, it's so lucky, isn't it?' ’

When the chief of staff on the side heard this, he also smiled and said: "Division commander, this is the luck of the three regiments, why not the luck of our division?" At this time, it is better to inform the commander of this good news as soon as possible! ”

'Well, that's right! First report this news to the front of the army, I think the guys from the 1st Division and the Armored Brigade will ask Lao Tzu for a treat again. However, after eating this piece of fat, Lao Tzu's treat is also worth it. ’

In fact, the armored brigade, which broke into the Japanese camp, quickly organized a group of troops to go straight to the Japanese headquarters in the camp. It's a pity that when the assault detachment arrived, there were no more high-ranking officials of the little devils there.

After learning that the commander of the little devil may have broken through, the officers and men of the armored brigade felt regretful. Even the reconnaissance detachment of the special division attacking from the other side also felt a little unwilling, and soon pursued the Japanese army and continued the pursuit.

When the telegram from the Second Cavalry Division was sent to He Zhengdao, Ye Jianying also smiled and said, "This time the Second Cavalry Division has made a lot of money!" ”

Facing Ye Jianying's jokes, He Zhengdao said very calmly: "They are also blind cats who meet dead mice!" As far as the troops we dispatched tonight are concerned, the 11th Division has no possibility of breaking through at all.

However, by killing the division commander of this little devil, we have completed more than half of this battle. Orders were given to the units to end the fighting as soon as possible and withdraw from the combat area. Including the 1st Infantry Division, it will begin to move tonight.

As for the blocking positions they had deployed earlier, they only needed to keep a small number of troops on duty. I hope to clean up the battlefield before dawn. I don't want any more little devils alive except for the little devils who surrendered to us. ”

'What about the armored brigade and the artillery brigade?' ’

Let them have two brigades and start moving in the direction of Chifeng. Before receiving the battle order, the method of concealed march was still adopted. In the grassland area on the first line of Chifeng, the cavalry troops must ensure that the walls are clear.

I believe that when the little devils can't contact the 11th Division tomorrow, they will also know that something is wrong. As long as you send planes over to take a look, you should know the news that the 11th Division has been completely annihilated by us.

However, this only increased their panic and made them wonder how the Eleventh Division had been wiped out by us overnight. The armored brigade could not be exposed for a short time.

At least you and I both know that the Kwantung Army also has armored forces. If their armored forces come over and we want to stop it, it will be difficult! By the way, let the 1st Cavalry Division start to attack the border of the Hung Yen League and create some chaos. ’

'You mean, let the little devils turn their attention to the side of the Xing'an League?' ’

'Nice! Although that strategic channel, I would love to open it as soon as possible. If we can open the passage to the Xing'an League, then our troops may be able to attack the hinterland of Hei Province. But in doing so, our supply lines will be long.

I have to eat bite by bite, and the next place I want to attack is the Tongliao and Chifeng areas, where the Kwantung Army is relatively weakly defended. If possible, I will advance my troops to the Chengde area of Rehe.

We should maximize our current superiority and temper our troops through this constant offensive and defensive warfare. At the same time, some garrison units from the rear are constantly being transferred to participate in rotational battles, and gradually improve the combat effectiveness of our troops.

If you hit Rehe, you can also restrain the attention of the North China Front to a certain extent. If we can really take the Chengde area, I believe that if we want to attack Beiping at that time, it will be much easier and easier. ’

As He Zhengdao's words came out, Ye Jianying also felt that it made sense. Although the task of their troops is to advance into the northeast to fight, without a relatively stable rear supply line, problems will arise sooner or later.

When the 1st Infantry Division took over the temporary camp of the Japanese army and began to collect Japanese prisoners and clean up the battlefield. The armored brigade also began to assemble and quickly left the battlefield at night, and the artillery brigade also left with it.

When the first division sent a telegram that the battlefield had been cleaned up, even though it was already very late, He Zhengdao still said: "Chief of Staff, draft a telegram and send it to the Central Committee, telling the chairman and the boss about the situation of our battle."

I believe that at this time, they probably can't sleep, and they are looking forward to our good news! However, in the telegram, I still mentioned to the chairman and the boss that the news of this great victory will be suppressed for two days for the time being! ”

'Okay, just leave this matter to me, and you can go and rest!' You haven't slept well in the past two days! ’

'Okay, then the command will take care of it. By the way, send a telegram to the garrison in Xilinhot, asking them to pay more attention to air defense in the past two days. I'm worried about the Kwantung Army, and it's estimated that there will be retaliatory bombing next.

Even a few important military towns in our rear will also send telegrams to warn them. During the day, let the people gather as little as possible. As soon as the fleet of the Kwantung Army was discovered, the air defense alarm was immediately sounded. ’

'Yes, I'm going to send a telegram!' ’

The time of partnering with He Zhengdao is not short, and Ye Jianying naturally knows that He Zhengdao's worries are also reasonable. After all, the Japanese army was very vindictive, and this is also a well-known thing.

When this telegram arrived in Yan'an in the early hours of the morning, Taizu, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up embarrassedly by the correspondent: "Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou has sent an urgent telegram!" ”

'Okay, I'll be right over!' ’

Not long after, Taizu and Mr. Zhu, who gathered in the war room again, looked at the newly received Jet and looked very happy. Even Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "This ambush battle is too good!" ”

Listening to Mr. Zhu's praise, Vice Chairman Zhou said with a smile: "Boss, although they did not suffer many casualties this time. There are a lot of shells and fuel that can be consumed, and this is all money! ”

Taizu, who was sitting on the side drinking strong tea, also smiled and said, "Enlai's words also make sense!" We must admit, though, that this ambush is something we have never tried before.

Now, judging from the situation they reported, the power of armored combat vehicles and heavy artillery should indeed not be underestimated. If we have a few more such troops in the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that we will not have to be as careful as we are now. ”

'There will be bread, there will be milk!' ’

Mr. Zhu said such a sentence with a cold smile, which also caused Taizu and Zhou Enlai to laugh. After all, He Zhengdao used to say this before. But it must be admitted that the current Eighth Route Army has indeed grown from scratch, and its strength has improved very rapidly.

Relying on the resistance against Japan, they not only expanded their base areas, but also improved the strength of their troops at an extremely rapid pace. In the past, the main forces were proud of the captured weapons. But at present, many of the main forces are looking forward to the issuance of new weapons.

At least many of the main division commanders know that the new weapons that are still in stock in the arsenal are more elite than those used by the Japanese army. If it weren't for the fact that the production of the arsenal could not keep up with the speed, I am afraid that they would have wanted to carry out a whole army redress a long time ago.

If all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army can be replaced with new semi-automatic rifles, the heavy artillery regiment can be equipped with division-level troops. Then when facing the Japanese army, I am afraid that the waist pole of the Eighth Route Army can also be harder than now.

It's just that, just as Taizu and Mr. Zhu and others thought, that day was getting shorter and shorter for them. Sooner or later, the Eighth Route Army, which will be fully redressed, will shock the whole world! (To be continued.) )
