Chapter 364: Only work hard, not hard!
(PS: In the new week, ask for a recommendation ticket and click to support, if there is a monthly pass, it will be even happier to give a reward!) I wish you all a good dream, and I'll see you tomorrow! )
As the initiator of the Eighth Route Army's winter offensive, the independent column commanded by He Zhengdao undoubtedly undertook the most combat missions and combat areas. The mobilized troops can also be said to have pulled out all the family resources.
The reconnaissance brigade was to cooperate with the 3rd Division of the Column, the Daqingshan Garrison Brigade, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions, and the Suixi Military Division to be responsible for operations in the Suiyuan direction. The 1st Division of the Column was responsible for operations in the direction of Shuozhou, and the 2nd and 4th Divisions of the Column were responsible for operations in the Datong direction.
As for the Yulin base area, the independent column is more reserved for garrison troops. It's just that in He Zhengdao's view, unless there is civil strife in the Yulin base area, he will not worry about the rear not being protected. After all, the combat effectiveness of the garrison troops in various parts of Yulin is not weak.
It was precisely by taking out his family background to carry out this battle that the main force of the independent column commanded by He Zhengdao could recover Shuozhou so smoothly. At present, in the Datong area, only Datong City has not yet been recovered, and the rest of the surrounding areas have returned to calm.
Even the defensive forces, mainly the fourth division, advanced the defensive positions directly to the Huai'an line. The main force that advanced into the Jin-Cha-Ji campaign also pinned down the Japanese puppet army in the Zhangjiakou area, so that it did not dare to send troops to support Datong at will.
Knowing that the independent garrison sent was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army, the puppet Mongolian government that set up the puppet government in Zhangjiakou also seemed worried. Some time ago, those puppet government traitors in Peking were executed, which really frightened many big traitors.
At present, the troops of the independent column have arrived in the Huai'an area, and the troops stationed in Zhangjiakou dare not waste their troops again. If there is any mistake, I am afraid that Zhangjiakou may fall.
If that were the case, it was estimated that the North China Front would be really crazy. But even so, in the face of the rescue of the Ninth Brigade stationed in Suiyuan, the puppet Mongolian government could only send two cavalry divisions from Huade and other places to the rescue.
As far as the officials of the puppet Mongolian government are concerned, although they are appointed by the little devils as high-ranking officials of the puppet government, they also enjoy superior treatment. But they all know how important the gun is in troubled times.
Perhaps it was precisely this kind of psychology that the puppet Mongolian cavalry division, which was effective from the top to the bottom, still gave a reply that "the enemy is blocking too fiercely, our troops have suffered heavy casualties, and they are making every effort to break through" in the face of the orders of the Ninth Brigade and the North China Front.
In fact, as far as the officers and men of the Puppet Mongolian Cavalry Division are concerned, they are more likely to come with the mentality of coping with the Ninth Brigade for help. If you have a chance to save it, then save it, and by the way, get a credit and ask for a reward or something.
It's really going to run out of troops, I'm afraid that in the little devils, they won't get the attention they have now. In this case, even if only the 1st Cavalry Division blocked them, these two puppet Mongolian cavalry divisions also appeared cautious and did not dare to fight hard with the 1st Cavalry Division.
may also see that the two pseudo-Mongolian cavalry divisions are not as ruthless as the little devil cavalry. The troops of the 1st Cavalry Division who blocked them were also not too pressed. More often than not, small cavalry raids were used to force them to halt their advances.
Receiving a reply telegram from the Puppet Mongolian Cavalry Division, Takamoto Ichima, who was staying in the Miaogou area, was also angry and said: "Eight Ge Yalu, these Puppet Mongolian cavalry are not enough to be trusted at all. How could two cavalry divisions not be able to break through?
The Empire's co-optation of these incompetent fellows will only be a waste of the Empire's resources. Send a telegram to the front army, and ask them to continue to urge the puppet Mongolian cavalry division to come to support. If they can't make it to Miaogou tomorrow morning, they will wait for military law to do it! ”
As the headquarters of the North China Front Army received a telegram from the Ninth Brigade again asking for help, Sugiyama Yuan was also a little dissatisfied: "This Takimoto is grinding, why don't you have the patience and steadiness of the imperial general?"
It only took long for three rescue telegrams to be sent. The most ridiculous thing is that at present, the Eighth Route Army has not launched an attack on him. It is no wonder that the situation in North China has deteriorated to such a situation, and it is all because of any problems in the commander.
Call back Takimoto and ask him to show the courage and determination of an imperial general. Even if the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on it, with the strength of a brigade in his hand, as long as he found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, there would be no problem in holding out for a day or two, right?
In addition, a report was sent to the puppet Mongolian cavalry, telling them to rush to the Miaogou area before noon tomorrow. If there is still no progress, resulting in problems in the 9th Brigade, the military law will be engaged after the two cavalry division commanders come back! ”
After receiving a telegram from the North China Front, the two commanders of the puppet Mongolian cavalry who were hovering on the border of Wuchuan also said helplessly: "Damn, these little devils want us to be buried with them!" How did we rush through in such a short period of time?
The most important thing is that it is already dark now, and the brothers have been fighting with the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army for a day today, so they can't let us march at night, right? This unfortunate errand, why is it just the two of us? ”
'Stop complaining! In this situation, we simply can't strike overnight. During the day today, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army attacked and harassed, although it did not cause us much damage. But you and I have witnessed the marksmanship and riding skills of those cavalrymen.
To be honest, unless we are really willing to put our lives on the line. Otherwise, it will be impossible to rush to Miaogou at noon tomorrow. Most importantly, according to the reports of the scouts we placed on the periphery, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army roaming around us was increasing.
From this situation, it can be basically judged that the cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army are only coming at us. If we continue to drill into it, we probably won't be able to get out if we get in. Even the little devil is going to be finished, don't we go in and look for death? ’
One of the pseudo-Mongolian division commanders quickly made such an analysis based on the current situation. For these pseudo-Mongolian masters, they also know that if they take the salary of the little devil, they have to work hard for the little devil. But if they sell their lives, they may not.
For them, as long as they have soldiers, guns and territory in their hands, they feel that their lives are guaranteed. If they really wiped out all their soldiers, they knew very well what would await them.
Soon another division commander also sighed: "Yes! The regimental commanders under me before were all complaining! At the end of the day, our division suffered several hundred casualties. If we continue to fight, I don't know how many people will die!
On weekdays, our lives are already not very easy, and it would be really unjust to throw our lives here. But if we can't get to Miaogou tomorrow, the little devil probably won't let us go easily. What should I do? ”
"Why don't you tell Commander Li about the situation here!" It is said that the losses of the troops in the battles for several days are not small, and the troops are already war-weary. If you march overnight, I am afraid that it will lead to changes in the army.
As long as we are not allowed to send troops at night and push back the time with the Ninth Brigade, I estimate that the Ninth Brigade of the little devil will definitely not survive tomorrow. When the time comes, you can't blame us for our poor rescue, right?
In terms of the current situation we are facing, if we go further into Wuchuan, it is estimated that we will really have to bury the little devil. What's more, this time the Eighth Route Army captured Suiyuan, and it was indispensable to deal with them in the future.
If we die with them this time, there will really be no way back in the future. As long as we have soldiers at hand, if the little devils dare to deceive people too much, we will directly pull the troops to the side of the Eighth Route Army. I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army will not accept us! ’
These words, let's not say them in the future, they really make people listen to them, and they will cause trouble! ’
The commander Li mentioned by the two puppet Mongolian division commanders was Li Shouxin, who was tasked by the Japanese army as the commander of the puppet Mongolian army. As Li Shouxin's confidants, they believe that Li Shouxin will not easily let the little devil take the two of them in military law.
But giving a reason to persuade the Japanese army and let Li Shouxin intercede with the North China Front Army believe that there will still be some effect. At this time, Takimoto Kazuma, who received a telegram from the front army, seemed a little depressed.
The reason was that Sugiyama had already doubted his command ability and courage in the telegram. This is undoubtedly a very serious problem for a general. Even if he succeeds in breaking through, I'm afraid that the date of dismissal is not far away.
It's a pity that when Takimoto was depressed, he had already infiltrated the saber special operations team in the Japanese camp, and soon played the brigade headquarters that was still lit at night. This means that the night raid will begin soon.
When the 'Japanese' battalion of the Saber and Reconnaissance Brigade launched a night attack, the main forces that had arrived at Miaogou one after another had already launched an encirclement and annihilation of the 9th Brigade and the remaining two infantry wings until the ammunition of the little devils was exhausted.
The two infantry wings, which had previously been separated from the brigade, carried a certain base of weapons and ammunition. But the raids of the small troops during the day have consumed a lot of their ammunition. After fighting again at night, they soon found that there were no more bullets and shells.
In this case, the little devil still chooses a suicidal white-knuckle battle. It's a pity that for these little devils who rushed out with rifles, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who attacked unceremoniously gave them a bullet.
Even some little devils were very unwilling to say: "Yours are not the work of warriors!" ”
But many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army directly crooked their mouths and said: "Stupid to death!" We are the Eighth Route Army, so naturally we are not some kind of bullshit warriors of yours. There are bullets in the gun, why do you want to fight with you with a bayonet! Die stupid, stupid! ”
While the two wings were sending farewell telegrams one after another, attacking units were gathering outside the temporary camp of the 9th Brigade. This situation also made the Japanese troops in the temporary camp very nervous.
At this time, the area where the Japanese baggage troops were located suddenly rang out fierce gunfire. Hearing the sound of gunfire coming from the camp, Takimoto Ichima's first reaction was 'night attack by the Eighth Route Army', so he went out of the house to check the situation.
And at this time, the saber special combat team, which changed into the costume of a little devil, came straight to the temporary headquarters of Takimoto Ichima. Arriving outside its headquarters, they finally exchanged fire with the guards of the 9th Brigade.
'Baga, the sneak attack headquarters of the Chinese army, quickly call for help from Your Excellency, the commander of the brigade! ’
The Japanese troops, who originally planned to go to the baggage troops, saw the gunfire from the headquarters, and had no choice but to go to the headquarters to rescue. But at this time, the Eighth Route Army, which had been reinforced one after another, also launched an attack on the periphery of the Ninth Brigade.
For a time, around the temporary camp chosen by the 9th Brigade, fierce firefighting rang out everywhere. For such a situation, Takimoto Kazuma also knows that he and his subordinates are afraid that they will not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow! (To be continued.) )
