Chapter 288: The Great Wall War of Resistance 25
Facts have proved that Wang Tiehan's actions are very prescient, and after a night of fighting, the Imperial Brigade in front of the mountain has reached the point of running out of oil and running out. At this time, the remaining troops of the 6th Division and part of the garrison troops of the Japanese army rushed overnight, and a part of the troops finally arrived on the battlefield at the most critical moment, and fought fiercely with the Weng Zhaoyuan Brigade several times overnight, although it did not break through the defense line of the Weng Zhaoyuan Brigade, but it restrained the energy of the Weng Zhaoyuan Brigade. And the reappearance of Japanese fighters in the sky also added some variables to the battlefield. These disadvantages appeared, but it was enough to annihilate all the Imperial Brigade in front of the mountain. It's just that there has been a little change in the long defense line of the Great Wall.
The Japanese 33rd Brigade advanced from Suizhong to Jielingkou, and the Miao Chengliu 116th Division of the 53rd Army of Wanfulin only withdrew after a little resistance, and the Japanese occupied Jielingkou. Invade the area of Guojiachang. Later, the defenders of the left flank of Yiyuankou, Zheng Guilin, retreated without a fight, so that the frontal defenders were isolated, and Yiyuankou also fell.
The Central Army of Nantianmen also began to retreat at this time, and Song Zheyuan's 29th Army was also exhausted from a long battle. Several gaps immediately appeared in the originally well-established encirclement. Yamae Mishige, who was already in a desperate situation, was able to escape with the remnants of less than a thousand people.
"Up to now, in the first battle of Luo Wenyu, our temporary 1st Army and Liu Ruming's division have lost a total of more than 5,491 people, 73 people are missing, and 4,417 people are lightly and seriously wounded. 6,153 Japanese soldiers were killed, 7 Japanese armored vehicles were destroyed, and 19 artillery pieces of various types were destroyed. Captured 13 gates. Air defense forces shot down 3 enemy aircraft. The military objective of encircling and annihilating a brigade of the Japanese army was preliminarily accomplished. The staff officer in charge of sorting out the battle report closed the folder and said.
"No need to put gold on your face. Running away from the Japanese army is running away, it's not a big deal. ”
Wang Tiehan waved his hand, and the telegram sent by Jiang Li said the same, energy to annihilate the actual strength of the Japanese army, while preserving its own strength for another battle is the established strategy of the 15th Route Army. In order to completely annihilate this unit of the Japanese army, it is not cost-effective to take in a few thousand more people.
"Commander, what to do with those captured guns and ammunition?" The staff officer asked.
"Deliver it to the officers and men of the 29th Army, this battle is indispensable to the great efforts of the 29th Army." Wang Tiehan didn't think much about it. The captured thousands of Japanese rifles, a total of more than ten light and heavy machine guns, did not deal with the equipment of the 15th Route Army, and it was useless to keep them in his hands, and Liu Ruming also made great efforts in this battle, and almost half of the casualties in the Luo Wenyu operation were from Liu Ruming's 2nd Division of the 29th Army.
"Thank you Commander Wang for your generosity." Liu Ruming, who was next to him, was overjoyed when he heard this, with this batch of ordnance, the losses of the 2nd Division could be replenished almost immediately. As for whether it is a Japanese weapon, where can the miscellaneous 29th Army have room to choose, it is already good to be able to get it in your hands. It is no wonder that the relationship between the military seat and the 15th Route Army is getting closer and closer, and there is always some soup to eat after the battle with the 15th Route Army. There is also a certain guarantee of food supply, which is like the stingy Central Army.
"Thank you you don't have to. It's all devil fighting. We'll have to work together in the future. "In any case, even if you run a thousand Japanese troops, it can be regarded as a great victory. At this time, Wang Tiehan was also in a good mood.
Bang bang...
Matsui Shigen's ear melon seeds were thrown on Yamae Mishige's face like money, Yamae Mishige was still wrapped in gauze on his head at this time, and there were faint blood oozing out, but his originally somewhat arrogant face was full of frustration. It didn't take long for the clear fingerprints to appear.
", I don't need losers here." Matsui Shigen didn't have a good face to give the other party, and it has been smooth sailing since he went south, but he didn't expect to plant such a big heel in the ancient Great Wall defense line.
"Okamura-kun, have you ever thought about how we should clean up the mess later? The current situation is not going well for us. "From the beginning of this year, the Kwantung Army Group will be responsible for fighting against the combined forces of Li Du and Ma Zhanshan in the north on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will seize Rehe in the south and stabilize the foundation of Manchukuo. The two-front war was still extremely difficult for the Kwantung Army at this time. After teaching Yamae Mishige, Matsui Ishinetan sat on a chair and let out a long breath and said.
"Your Excellency Commander, don't be bad, Luo Wenyu's defeat is already doomed from the fact that the imperial army marched too quickly at Rehe. The logistical baggage contingent was largely disconnected from the attacking troops. If all the imperial soldiers encountered were Tang Yulin, Wan Fulin, and those troops under Zhang Xueliang, it would not be a big problem. Even the Central Army in Nanjing, or the 29th Army of Song Zheyuan, with their equipment, did not have the ability to attack the imperial army except for night battles. Only our old opponent, the 15th Route Army, not only has a high fighting spirit, but also replenishes ordnance faster than people can imagine, and the Fiat Ca30 that fought against the Imperial Air Force this time was purchased from Italy. After Jiang Lixi withdrew to the Gansu area, he did not give up the construction of the army. The 15th Route Army under his command was one of the few that could compete head-on with the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Heavy Brigade in front of the mountain encountered the best state of the entire 15th Route Army in this extremely dangerous state, and the reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, and the supply of ordnance and ammunition could not be in time. In the face of the attack of several times the Chinese army, even the aviation unit failed to gain the upper hand in the sky over Luo Wenyu, how could this battle be undefeated. ”
Okamura Ningji hit the nail on the head and said that he was responsible for defeating the Ma Zhanshan and Li Du coalition forces, at this time the Ma and Li coalition forces had been defeated in Harbin and Qiqihar one after another, and the general situation had been decided, and after receiving Matsui Shigen's order, he hurried back to Matsui Shigen's headquarters.
"It's a pity that although we can recognize these things, we can't change the fanaticism of those soldiers, even if they have learned enough in the Battle of Mukden, but the smooth battle has made them forget the previous tragedy. These officers and soldiers were too eager to attack and seize the territory of China, and even if the command repeatedly ordered them to delay the pace of the attack, they could not restrain their fanaticism. ”
Matsui Ishone said with a sigh. The success of the Battle of Rehe made the headquarters also relax its vigilance, until the vanguard of the 15th Route Army appeared in Chengde, but it did not last long in Chengde, and at this time the troops were already like wild horses that had escaped from the leash, and they were not so easily restrained. Moreover, there is also a phenomenon of competition for merit among various units. In the face of real interests, even under the orders of the cabinet, they often disobey the yang and the yin, and Matsui Ishine usually turns a blind eye to this situation, since the great success of 918, the Kwantung Army, which started the chrysalis, has formed a bottom-up force, similar to a situation of arrogance. Now it's finally going terribly wrong. (To be continued.) )
