Just after Gao Shuxun gave the order for the whole army to assault, Zhang Michuan, deputy commander of the New Eighth Army, hurriedly came over and reported in Gao Shuxun's ear that about an infantry brigade of the Japanese army was rapidly moving towards Yong'an, and the automobile soldiers of its vanguard unit, about an infantry brigade, had arrived at Liaojiamiao, 30 miles north of Yong'an City, and fought an encounter with the cavalry regiment of the New Eighth Army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Gao Shuxun is as depressed as he wants to be in his heart, and he can wipe out all the Japanese troops in the city if he gives him another half an hour, but an infantry brigade of the Japanese army is not a vegetarian, if the new Eighth Army is not afraid of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, but now the new Eighth Army is also a tired army, and the soldiers who have been fighting hard for a long time have not eaten, and the soldiers carry not much ammunition, so they can't hold on to fighting for a long time.
However, if the current situation is missed, Gao Shuxun believes that he will regret it for life, so he ordered the cavalry regiment to hold back the Japanese reinforcements at all costs and create conditions for the large army to annihilate the defenders in Yongan County.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of January 20, more than 10,000 people under Kimura Hyotaro finally arrived in Yong'an County, and at this time, Gao Shuxun's department had just taken Yong'an City, and before the troops had yet to rest, they received a telegram from the Eighth Route Army that about an infantry brigade of the Japanese army was coming from the direction of Wu'an, and the troops in front of them had already been thirty miles south of Yong'an.
Gao Shuxun was completely stunned at this time, and the speed of the Japanese army was too fast. Before attacking Yong'an, Gao Shuxun should have been prepared to deal with it, and he knew the news that Sasaki's two infantry brigades were surrounded and annihilated by Ma Zheng's department, so Gao Shuxun judged that Kimura Hyotaro should withdraw his troops as soon as possible as long as he was not too stupid, otherwise he wouldn't mind uniting with the Eighth Route Army and swallowing this arrogant 32nd Division in one go.
Although he also expected that he might be attacked by the Japanese front and rear, according to the news from the 181st Division, the large force of the Japanese army was now on the outskirts of Wu'an, a full two hundred miles away from Yong'an County, and even a rapid march of the whole army would take at least a day and a half. Moreover, Gao Shuxun himself believed that with the strength of his two infantry divisions, it should not take much effort to attack a small county town with only one reinforced squadron garrisoned.
But Gao Shuxun didn't expect the devils in Yong'an City to be so difficult, it was originally expected that the two-hour battle would last for a whole day, and Kimura Hyotaro's original one-and-a-half-day journey took only one day to complete the Japanese army, so unfortunately the New Eighth Army was blocked by Kimura Hyotaro in Yong'an City, and was attacked by the Japanese 32nd Division and the 35th Division.
This time, the Japanese army came with the momentum of revenge, and Gao Shuxun still understands the truth that the mourning soldiers will win. This time, the New Eighth Army was really dangerous, if it weren't for the fact that he had just captured enough weapons and equipment, food and medicine, Gao Shuxun would have even had the idea of escaping.
But now it doesn't matter if you escape or not, even if you escape, what can you do, the large number of weapons and ammunition that has just been seized will definitely not be able to be taken away, which means that the results of a day's hard work are gone, not to mention Gao Shuxun, even if you replace any officer, you will not be reconciled.
And although Yong'an County is already dilapidated, it still has a bit of decent city fortifications, which are much stronger than the unobstructed wilderness. The most important thing is that the two units of the Japanese army are only a few dozen or even a dozen miles away from the county seat, and it is too late to escape and say anything.
Moreover, Gao Shuxun still recognizes the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, especially the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's department, he believes that as long as the two infantry divisions in his hands can support two days, then the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army will definitely be reached, and the days of the Japanese army, especially the days of Kimura Hyotaro's department, will be sad, so Gao Shuxun ordered all the troops to immediately enter the city to set up defenses, and he will fight against Kimura Hyotaro in Yong'an City.
Not long after Gao Shuxun's troops entered the position, before the soldiers of the New Eighth Army could clean up the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and the rubble in the trenches, the two Japanese troops had already surrounded Yong'an City from the north and south.
This time, Kimura Hyotaro was not polite to Gao Shuxun, as soon as the Japanese army came up, a brigade-level group charged, and also used poison gas bombs, hoping to take advantage of Gao Shuxun's unstable foothold to defeat the New Eighth Army in one fell swoop.
Although Gao Shuxun knew that the Japanese army would not retain its strength this time, he did not expect that the Japanese army would dare to use poison gas bombs so blatantly, so all of a sudden Gao Shuxun's department was recruited, and a large number of soldiers were poisoned before the soldiers could react.
But Gao Shuxun also knew that it was too late to say anything at this time, and it was too late to withdraw, and now it was up to him to see if he could wait for the rescue of the Eighth Route Army.
Xie Wensheng was also taken aback by the speed of the Japanese army when he received Gao Shuxun's telegram, and he knew that the Eighth Route Army was an expert in marching on foot, but he didn't expect the little devil to be ambiguous, according to the scouts of the Eighth Route Army, Kimura Hyotaro did not have many cars, and even the cavalry only had a few hundred.
Xie Wensheng looked at the map again and again, knowing that Gao Shuxun's department was really hanging this time, since Kimura Hyotaro, the old devil, knew that he was in danger of being surrounded, but he still had to desperately find trouble with Gao Shuxun's department, which can only show that Kimura Hyotaro was determined to eat Gao Shuxun's department.
However, Xie Wensheng couldn't let the friendly forces suffer no matter how much he could. Although Gao Shuxun's ministry was subordinate to the Nationalist government, he was also China's national defense force. No matter how much you lose, aren't all the Chinese who suffer!
What's more, once the Japanese army kills Gao Shuxun's department, then Kimura, the old devil, will solve the current crisis at once. At that time, this old thing will definitely go south again with the strength of the two divisions in his hands.
Moreover, if there were no Gao Shuxun's headquarters as a containment, with more than 40,000 people in the Shandong Military Region alone, it would not be possible to stop the Japanese army's attack. Even if the Japanese army can be defeated, the casualties of the troops will definitely reach a point that is unbearable to look at, so Gao Shuxun's department must rescue.
But now Xie Wensheng doesn't have many troops in his hands, and all the troops of the Eighth Route Army are still in Cishan in Wu'an, and it will take two days to reach Yong'an at the earliest. Most of the troops of the Southern Hebei Administrative Office are local guerrillas, not to mention that their combat effectiveness is not strong, and even weapons and ammunition are very short, and it is barely okay to carry out some harassment and blocking tasks, but if you want to use these troops to fight to the death with the devil's field division, then the result will not be to rescue Gao Shuxun's department, but to deliver food to the Japanese army.
As for the other troops, they have been sent to Handan City by him, and they are stationed in Handan instead of Gao Shuxun's troops at this time. If something goes wrong with this force, then the entire city of Handan will fall again, so this part of the army must not move.
Xie Wensheng is also a ruthless person, knowing that this is an endless battle with the Japanese army, and it will not be easy to go back if there is a problem on either side, don't look at the current Eighth Route Army annihilated the two infantry brigades of the Japanese army, but if the Party Central Committee loses southern Hebei, the Party Central Committee will not spare Ma Zheng, of course, he, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy headquarters in southern Hebei, will not have good fruits to eat, so Gao Shuxun's department must be rescued.
Therefore, Xie Wensheng ordered Cishan's troops to immediately go north to rescue Gao Shuxun's department, and as for the security of Wu'an, it was still handled by the 181st Division, so the troops should not enter the city, and they could rush to Yong'an directly after cleaning the battlefield.
At the same time, Xie Wensheng sent a telegram to Ma Zheng of the General Headquarters, making a detailed report to Ma Zheng on the war in southern Hebei during this period, and soliciting Ma Zheng's opinion on how to rescue Gao Shuxun's department. (To be continued.) )
