Chapter 145: The Worries of Senior Private Tojo
Today, the second update, ask for collection, ask for recommendation......
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army have been counted, in this battle, the Eighth Route Army sacrificed more than 2,000 people, injured more than 5,000 people, including more than 1,000 seriously injured, and the casualties were basically nearly 8,000.
If it weren't for the heavy artillery that killed nearly half of the little devils, the casualties might be far more than this number, and it seems that the role of heavy artillery really should not be underestimated.
Similarly, armored vehicles and tanks, which are heavy weapons, after this battle, Zhang Yunfei is looking forward to it more and more, if there is heavy artillery to cooperate with armored vehicles and tanks, the casualties of the troops will definitely be greatly reduced.
Division Commander Liu next to him saw the sadness on Zhang Yunfei's face, so he comforted: "Brother Yunfei, the war is cruel, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, we have sacrificed countless Chinese sons and daughters, today, at the cost of more than 2,000 people, we have completely annihilated tens of thousands of little devils, and it is worth it." ”
At this time, an operational staff officer walked in and reported loudly: "Chief, our vanguard unit has already set off an hour ago, and more than 10,000 people in the vanguard are riding hundreds of trucks and two or three hundred off-road vehicles, and it is expected that in another hour, they will be able to reach Dawu Town. ”
"Okay, inform the rest of the troops to get ready for departure and reach the designated combat area as soon as possible." Zhang Yunfei ordered.
It seems that he is also leaving this command headquarters and going to Leek Ridge to personally direct the battle. So Zhang Yunfei said to He and Liu, the two division commanders: "We are also going to the front line of Leek Ridge, two brothers, let's go." ”
After speaking, he took the lead out of the command headquarters and boarded the off-road vehicle that had been prepared at the door, and the two division commanders He and Liu also followed Zhang Yunfei with a smile on their faces, a big battle was waiting for the command, and they were very excited when they thought about it.
At this time, the front line of Leek Ridge was already full of war.
From more than ten o'clock in the morning, the 10th Division of the little devil finally passed through the minefield of the Eighth Route Army, and paid the price of thousands of people, so angry that the commander of the 10th Division of the little devil, Ryosuke Isoya, had a very ugly face and a gloomy face.
The little devil who passed through the minefield only marched for more than ten kilometers, and the vanguard discovered the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front.
As soon as he heard the report on the enemy's situation, Isoya Ryosuke knew that the Eighth Route Army was going to block the advance of his troops here, but he didn't know the specific number and firepower of the Eighth Route Army in front.
Due to the mountainous location here, it was impossible for the little devil to invest a large number of troops at one time, so the little devil sent an infantry brigade to start experimenting with the surname.
So, the war was on the verge of breaking out, after several hours of fierce fighting, the two sides suffered casualties, but the 10th Division of the little devil failed to move forward, and the 109th Division also sent a wing to raid the side of the Eighth Route Army's position, but several nearby hills were addicted to a large number of Eighth Route Army, and the little devil's conspiracy did not succeed.
Due to the good weather and a wide field of vision, at the front of the command headquarters, Liu Dazhu used a telescope to see the situation clearly, tens of thousands of little devils, yellow military uniforms, in the green mountains and valleys, it looked very obvious.
It seems that the little devil will not break through the defense line for a while, so he will hold his position for the time being, waiting for the arrival of the large army led by Division Commander Zhang Yunfei, Liu Dazhu thought......
Gui Sui, Tojo Hideki has received the battle situation on the front line, a little devil wing leader, before he died, he used the radio of the wing headquarters to send the last telegram to Tojo Hideki, and all the jade of the Mongolian Xinjiang Corps was shattered.
Unexpectedly, all the jade was shattered, how could the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army be so strong, Tojo Hideki, who was in an unusually heavy mood, looked at the map in front of him in a daze, and only picked up a red pen from the table for a long time and made a big cross on the location of Fengzhen on the map.
Then he carefully looked at the northeast of Datong, in the direction of Leek Ridge, which marked the location of the 10th Division and the 109th Division, looking at the position of these two divisions, Tojo Hideki suddenly had a bad premonition, if these two divisions were also surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, it would be dangerous.
Tojo Hideki looked at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was necessary to figure out the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army in Fengzhen as soon as possible, if the tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army in Fengzhen went to Leek Ridge and joined up with the Eighth Route Army that was blocking there, then the Eighth Route Army would have a superior strength, the strength of the Eighth Route Army was more than 100,000, and nearly 100,000 were the 136th Division of the Eighth Route Army that was well-equipped and had strong combat effectiveness.
The 10th Division and the 109th Division are two divisions, and the personnel are only 50,000 when they are full, and the Eighth Route Army is almost three times that of the Yue Army.
If there is another accident between these two divisions, then the battle plan designated by the base camp this time will become a joke, and he can only cut his stomach.
Hideki Tojo, who had no choice, had no choice but to hurriedly send a telegram to Okamura Ninji in Beiping, pleading with the North China Front and sending planes to the relevant areas to reconnoitre, first figuring out the movements of the Eighth Route Army.
Peiping.
Okamura Ninji, who received the telegram, was full of anger and sorrow, tens of thousands of elites of the empire had been shattered, and this hateful "Tojo Senior Soldier", even the two divisions of his North China Front, was not in a good situation at present.
For the sake of his two divisions, Okamura had no choice but to send several reconnaissance planes to Fengzhen and Leech Ridge and other relevant areas to reconnoitre, so as to find out the movements of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible.
Two or three hours later, only one of the reconnaissance planes sent out to reconnoiter was wounded and staggered back, and the rest were shot down by ground artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army.
When the plane came back, it brought back news that made Okamura Ningji very worried, that tens of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army in Fengzhen were assembling in the direction of Leek Ridge, and it seemed that they wanted to encircle their two divisions.
Seeing this situation, Okamura Ninji hurriedly sent a telegram to Hideki Tojo in Guisui, suggesting that Hideki Tojo quickly order a retreat and withdraw the two divisions to Zhangjiakou.
If it weren't for the base camp temporarily placing these two divisions under the command of Hideki Tojo, Okamura Ninji would have ordered a retreat a long time ago, and they would be two elite divisions.
After sending a telegram to Hideki Tojo, Okamura Ninji urgently transferred Pingjin and other troops that could be mobilized to Zhangjiakou in an attempt to reinforce and accept the retreat of the 10th and 109th Divisions.
However, the speed of large-scale troop movements is often relatively slow, and it is estimated that it will take at least three days for these tens of thousands of little devils to reach Zhangjiakou to assemble, and hope is still in a hurry, Okamura Ningji thought silently.
