The 2nd Column Mechanized Infantry Regiment, with a hundred tanks, formed a wide front and was crushing the little devils.

Whether it is an off-road vehicle or an armored personnel carrier, the 30-mm cannon on the vehicle has been replaced with high-explosive shells to shoot fiercely at the cavalry of the little devils, and on the off-road vehicles, many fighters, holding AK-47 assault rifles, also shoot fiercely at the cavalry of the little devils.

The fighters inside the Type 39 armored personnel carrier also got out of the car one after another, ran to keep up with these armored vehicles, and used the cover of the armored vehicles to hide behind the armored vehicles and shoot fiercely at the little devils.

Off-road vehicles, armored vehicles, are all moving fortresses, the flesh and blood of the little devils, how can they resist the advance of the mechanized infantry regiment just by relying on the rifle in their hands.

Now, the Little Devil Cavalry Brigade was flanked from both sides, suffering heavy casualties.

The commander of the Little Devil Brigade saw that he was being flanked from the front and rear, and on the east and west sides, there were also a large number of soldiers of the 36th Group Army, so he ran over, and the Little Devil Cavalry Brigade was all wrapped in dumplings.

"Quickly send a report to Your Excellency the Commander that the 5th Cavalry Brigade is surrounded by the regiments of the 36th Group Army, and all the jade is broken."

The commander of the little devil brigade looked miserable, and hurriedly shouted to the little devil communication soldier next to him.

The commander of the Little Devil Brigade, Shigeichi Fujita, was quite self-aware, knowing that in this situation, his cavalry brigade would definitely have only one fate, that is, it would be completely annihilated by the 36th Group Army, and as for the vanguard force, the cavalry brigade that was about ten kilometers ahead, it would definitely be discovered and annihilated.

After the little devil correspondent sent the telegram, the remnants of the little devil cavalry brigade lasted less than an hour under the attack of the 36th Group Army from all sides, and the little devil was completely annihilated.

The commander of the Little Devil Brigade, Shigeichi Fujita, was the last to be killed, and Shigeichi Fujita tried to continue his stubborn resistance, but was beaten to pieces by several fighters with AK-47 assault rifles in their hands.

The vanguard of the little devils, a cavalry brigade, is now facing off against the 2nd Column Cavalry Regiment.

The two sides had been fighting for more than an hour, and the little devil cavalry brigade was only six or seven hundred people, and its main weapons were cavalry rifles and sabers.

The cavalry regiment of the 2nd column has more than 2,000 people, and the soldiers are all equipped with AK-47 assault rifles and sabers.

As soon as the two sides clashed, the little devil was at an absolute disadvantage, and as the little devil was constantly killed, when the little devil cavalry was less than 500 people, he was surrounded by more than 2,000 cavalry regiments of soldiers.

After the little devils resisted for more than an hour, all the six or seven hundred little devil cavalry were killed, and none of them escaped the net, while the cavalry regiment suffered less than 100 casualties.

Datong, the headquarters of the 36th Army.

Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief, took a telegram and shouted happily, "Commander-in-chief, it's good news again, the little devil Kwantung Army has invaded a cavalry brigade in our base area, and a chariot wing has been completely annihilated by us." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei nodded lightly, and did not make much waves in his heart, the little devil went deep into the hinterland of the 36th Group Army's base area, so such a result was completely unexpected by Zhang Yunfei.

Now, what Zhang Yunfei is mainly thinking about is the battle situation in North China, just now the Eighth Route Army sent a telegram that more than 30 regiments of the Eighth Route Army had been besieging Jinan for two days, and they had only broken through the outer defense line of the little devils.

The little devil fought several big battles with the Eighth Route Army in a field division and two divisions of the puppet army in Jinan, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties, and the Eighth Route Army only had a slight advantage.

The Eighth Route Army is on the offensive, the little devils are on the defensive, and the Eighth Route Army is already at a loss, in addition, the two puppet army divisions in Jinan also played a certain role.

The little devil still adopted the old routine and coerced these puppet armies to act as cannon fodder in the front, because the Eighth Route Army did not have an absolute advantage in firepower, and it did not crush the will of these puppet armies to resist for a while, and many puppet armies still resisted.

Within two days, the Eighth Route Army killed thousands of enemies, but the puppet army accounted for most of them, and the field division of the little devil did not suffer much damage.

In addition, the two reinforcements of the little devil in Lunan are also approaching Jinan in an attempt to reinforce, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Lunan are blocking it.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei seemed to be pondering, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, knew that Zhang Yunfei might be thinking about the battle situation in Jinan.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan was also worried about the battle situation of the Eighth Route Army, "Commander-in-chief, the Eighth Route Army has no heavy artillery, and it cannot suppress the artillery wing of the little devils in terms of firepower. ”

Zhang Yunfei nodded, "Lao Zuo, although there are a lot of mortars and Type 92 infantry guns equipped by the Eighth Route Army, the caliber is still a little smaller, and it is difficult to knock through the strong fortifications of the little devils." ”

Zhang Yunfei thought for a while, and was still ready to support the Eighth Route Army, so Zhang Yunfei asked: "Lao Zuo, has our Shijiazhuang Airport been repaired?" ”

Hearing this, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, was slightly overjoyed and thought to himself, is the commander-in-chief ready to provide air support to the Eighth Route Army?

Therefore, Comrade Zuo Qingquan said happily: "Commander-in-chief, the Shijiazhuang airport has been almost repaired, and we have stationed two squadrons of Mustang fighters at the Shijiazhuang airport, and we have also stockpiled some fuel and ammunition. ”

Seeing that Shijiazhuang Airport could be used, Zhang Yunfei had a plan in his heart, and Zhang Yunfei said with a straight face: "Comrades! The Eighth Route Army is now encountering a little difficulty, and we still have to help them, and our two Mustang fighter squadrons in Shijiazhuang are now mainly tasked with bombing the little devils in Jinan. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, the Eighth Route Army is also a unit led by [***], and everyone is a family.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhang Yunfei said: "Immediately send a report to the Eighth Route Army, our two Mustang fighters at Shijiazhuang Airport are temporarily placed under the command of the Eighth Route Army, and fully cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to recover Jinan until the end of the war in Jinan." ”

Guo Jiayu, Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving the telegram from the 36th Group Army, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army shouted a few words of good cheer happily, and his tightly knit brows were completely relaxed.

The deputy commander-in-chief also knows quite well about the air force of the 36 th Group Army, and now a large number of planes of the 36 th Group Army are bombing the little devils in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and the little devils have suffered heavy losses, and the deputy commander-in-chief also knows about it.

To tell the truth, in his heart, the deputy commander-in-chief is still a little red-eyed, and often sighs that it would be nice if the Eighth Route Army had such a powerful air force.

I didn't think that Zhang Yunfei was so generous this time, and temporarily assigned the two Mustang fighter squadrons at Shijiazhuang Airport, a total of 48 Mustang fighters, to the command of the Eighth Route Army, no wonder the deputy commander-in-chief applauded again and again.

Now it's okay, we also have an air force, the deputy commander-in-chief thought happily in his heart.

This time, the two Mustang fighters were assigned to the command of the Eighth Route Army, and during this period of time, the Eighth Route Army was really equivalent to its own air force, which was assigned to the command of the Eighth Route Army, and it was a completely different concept from the operation of the Eighth Route Army.

If it is assigned to the command of the Eighth Route Army, it must completely obey the orders of the Eighth Route Army, and wherever the Eighth Route Army directs, these two Mustang fighter squadrons must fight.

This is also considering the convenience of the command, Zhang Yunfei directly assigned the two Mustang fighter squadrons to the command of the Eighth Route Army.

In the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, many high-ranking members of the Eighth Route Army, at this time, were also like the deputy commander-in-chief, with happy faces, and everyone thought that with so many planes, the next battle would be much easier.

"Mr. Peng, with so many planes, do we personally command them from the headquarters, or do we hand them over to Lin and Liu to command them personally?" A senior leader of the Eighth Route Army was also soliciting the opinions of the deputy commander-in-chief.

Lin and Liu refer to the commander of the 115th Division and the commander of the 129th Division, respectively, and the two temporarily served as the supreme commanders of the pre-war headquarters of the Jinan Campaign.

The deputy commander-in-chief thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "We are afraid that we will not be able to get over the addiction of commanding the air force this time, so we will hand over these planes to Lin and Liu to personally command." ”

Beside him, many high-ranking officials of the Eighth Route Army nodded in agreement, the situation on the front line is changing rapidly, and the fighters are fleeting, and if the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army personally commands these fighters, I am afraid that they will not be able to give full play to the role of these aircraft.

"Boss, then you have suffered a big loss, and you will hand over these planes to Lin and Liu for command before you can cover the heat." A senior commander of the Eighth Route Army also took the opportunity to make a joke about the deputy commander-in-chief.

Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief didn't mind and smiled slightly, while beside him, many commanders of the Eighth Route Army laughed.

Now, in the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the solemn atmosphere of the past has been swept away, replaced by relaxation, and with so many planes participating in the battle, everyone knows that the battle situation in Jinan will be fundamentally reversed.

After several hours of cleaning the battlefield, thousands of corpses of the Little Devil Cavalry Brigade were buried, and all the guns and ammunition were collected.

The weapons of these captured little devils may be transported to the local garrison brigades to enrich the weapons level of the local garrison brigades.

At the scene of the little devil chariot wing, the soldiers are hurrying to clean up, and many of the little devil's chariots have become a pair of scrap iron, but these will all be transported back to the base Xin'an County Iron and Steel Plant for refurnace, and will be re-smelted into pieces of fine steel.
