-- The town of Daliuta

Generally speaking, the Japanese troops were mainly stationed in cities such as county seats, and those stationed outside the city were also in mines, barracks, and transportation points, and Daliuta Town would have a squadron because of its special location in the border area controlled by the Red Party.

"Commander, it's almost eight o'clock." A staff officer said to Gao Gang.

Gao Gang nodded, looked at his watch and asked, "Have you made contact with the guerrillas in the city?" ”

The staff officer said, "Yes, they will cooperate with us." But don't we really need them to help us open the gates? ”

Gao Gang shook his head and said, "No, come, pull up the battle defense cannon, face the city gate, and blow it up for me!" ”

Three 37 anti-aircraft guns copied by the Eighth Route Army were pulled to the position and aimed at the city gate.

The time came to eight o'clock.

"Hit!" Gao Gang waved his hand fiercely, and five 37 anti-aircraft guns made a cannon sound together, two armor-piercing shells, and three high-explosive shells accurately hit the city gate of Daliuta Town, and the city gate made of solid wood instantly turned into countless fragments.

"What sound?" Qi Munan, the leader of the Japanese squadron who was eating with the merchants, stood up and asked.

"According to the report, the south gate was shelled, and the city gate was blown up, which has been confirmed that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is attacking the city!" A Japanese soldier ran in and shouted.

"How many are there?" Qi Munan asked.

"We have flares here, and there are Red Party troops on all sides, and it seems that there is at least one brigade!" The Japanese soldier thought for a moment and said.

"Quick! Hurry up and send electricity, the Red Party is attacking!! "Qi Munan has been here for more than a year, and he has also heard of the Red Party's military strength on the opposite side, and his own squadron may be able to block a battalion or a regiment, but this brigade is still called tactical guidance."

"Order everyone to follow me up the walls!" Qi Munan shouted loudly, and as he spoke, he ran up with a gun and a few Japanese soldiers, shouting loudly for the other Japanese soldiers to follow as he ran.

"What? Did the Red Party's Eighth Route Army go out of Shaanxi to attack Daliuta Town? The commander of the army stationed in Mongolia, Okabe Naosaburo, hurriedly walked to the map, looked at the location of Daliuta Town on the map, and said, "The front here is Ordos, and then the front is Baotou. ”

Okabe Naosaburo stood up and said, "The national army in Ningxia will not attack casually, especially in cooperation with the Red Party, they will definitely not do it, immediately dispatch troops in Wuhai and Bayannur to Baotou, in addition, order King De to immediately dispatch troops to prepare for defensive operations, send our situation here to Shenyang and Beiping, and finally, let the 118th Division prepare to return to help!" ”

-- Etok

Zhou Xing looked at the Japanese fortifications that had been built into bunkers and said, "This little devil can't do anything else, this defense is really tricky, there are so many bunkers and bunkers, if you want to fight down, there will be a lot of casualties." ”

Xiao Jinguang nodded and said, "The intelligence here says that there is a squadron of Japanese soldiers and a battalion of puppet troops, no one is in the city, all of them are in this field fortification, in order to defend us, hehe, I think we don't want to entangle with them here anymore, leave all the mountain artillery and a brigade to clean them up, and the other troops, after the battle starts here, immediately continue to advance, this is the plain, there is nothing roadless, we want to attack Wuhai as quickly as possible, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Xing hummed and said, "Okay, then I'll stay, and you lead the main force forward." ”

The sky gradually brightened, Zhou Xing's hand waved, twenty or thirty mortars and more than a dozen mountain guns roared together, seven or eight fighters flew in the sky to help the war, and there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment against the Japanese position covering an area of about one square kilometer, and about three or four miles away from the battlefield, Xiao Jinguang looked at the battlefield in the distance, pointed to the north and said, "Comrades, move forward!" ”

-- Fengzhen

Fengzhen stationed two brigades of Japanese troops and three puppet army brigades, He Long shook his head and said, "The little devil probably heard the rumors, so let's not sneak attack, let the first tank regiment and the 359 brigade be the vanguard, all rocket artillery and mountain artillery are pulled up, let the air force support, and we must end the battle within time!" Also, how is the evacuation of the people of Fengzhen? ”

Zhou Shidi said, "Don't worry, our underground party and guerrillas have been arranged, as long as our battle begins, the people will hide in their respective basements, and this is the case in our north, almost every household has a cellar." ”

He Long nodded and said, "Start on time at seven o'clock!" ”

"Whoosh!" The first to fire was the rocket artillery unit, the Japanese stationing address had already been sent to the 120th Division, hundreds of rockets flew into the sky in an instant, after the fight, the rocket artillery unit did not evacuate, but began to fill as quickly as possible, preparing for the second round of coverage.

"What's that?" A Japanese soldier who got up in the morning to wash up looked at the sky and said.

"Huh? Shooting stars? The Japanese soldier next to him said.

"That's not right!! It's a cannonball, an enemy attack! Enemy Attack!! A Japanese soldier shouted loudly, screaming and running, as if something was chasing him behind him.

There's something chasing him, and that thing is called Death!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Bang!"

Hundreds of rockets covered the Japanese headquarters in the city, the barracks and the city gate in the south of the city, and when viewed from the sky, the Japanese headquarters seemed to be beaten to pieces by an iron fist.

At this time, the Japanese army was horrified to find that thirty or forty warplanes flew in the sky and circled in the sky, and from time to time they swooped down to shoot and drop bombs at their own troops, and there were many chariots on the ground, the blue sky and white sun flags were flying high, and countless soldiers of the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on the city gate that had been wide open.

"What's going on? Didn't it say that the Eighth Route Army was attacking the town of Daliuta? Why did Fengzhen and Etoke also discover the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and how many main forces did the Eighth Route Army have? Okabe Naosaburo said angrily.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Commander, you also know that the Eighth Route Army has the strength to thwart the encirclement and suppression of the Third Army and the North China Front, and its strength is not weak, and the main force of our army has been transferred to Erenhot," the staff officer next to him bowed his head and said.

Okabe Naosaburo said anxiously, "Now that the Eighth Route Army is attacking in three directions, how can we resist it?" Where is the feint and where is the real main force? ”

The staff officer pointed to the map and said, "Ulanqab and Erenhot are closer, so the 118th Division can immediately return to help, anyway, the battle at Nomenkan has subsided, and then let Wuhai's troops return to aid Bayannur, as for Wuhai, we can give it to the national army in Ningxia, Ma Jiajun is a warlord army, there is no overall situation, since there is a benefit, they will definitely want it, we will find some way to provoke contradictions between them, so that we can drag all the way, and then hold Bayannur." As for Baotou, as long as it is held across the river and the Mongolian troops are urgently mobilized, I believe that it can hold out for at least half a month, but in the end, if you want to completely defeat the Eighth Route Army's offensive this time, you still need the support of the Kwantung Army and the North China Front. ”

Okabe Naosaburo nodded and said, "Now I can only do this first, immediately send a telegram to Shenyang and Beiping, asking for support, but the fastest, I'm afraid it will take a week, this week, there must be no mistakes!" ”

-- Ningxia

"What ???" Ma Hongkui looked at the Japanese envoy opposite in disbelief and said, "You Japanese want to give us Wuhai?" ”

The Japanese nodded and said, "Our Emperor His Majesty has also heard of General Ma, and our General Okabe Naosaburo has been looking up to the general for a long time, and our Imperial Japan has no intention of being the enemy of the general, and we only came to China to overthrow the anti-Japanese government of Chiang Kai-shek and eliminate the Red Party, so I hope you can accept our sincerity." ”

Ma Hongkui sat down, a little hesitant, he had already received the news, knowing that the Red Party's Eighth Route Army was attacking the Japanese army, and it seemed that it would not be long before it would reach Wuhai, which was obviously the Japanese army wanting to kill two soldiers with one peach.

Ma Dunjing, the second son of Ma Hongkui next to him, hurriedly instigated and said, "Abba, this is a good opportunity, we can't give up, how can we say that this can be regarded as recovering the country." ”

The Japanese looked at Ma Dunjing, who had no one in his eyes, and secretly hated in his heart, so he could only bow his head and not speak.

Ma Hongkui waved his hand to let the Japanese go down and said, "But in this way, we will inevitably have a conflict with the Red Party's Eighth Route Army, of course, when the Red Party marched westward, we killed a lot of them, if it wasn't for the anti-Japanese, we would definitely still fight to the death, if this robbed them of their food."

Ma Dunjing said indifferently, "Abba, this time and that time, this Wuhai is a fallen area, is it possible that if the Red Party fights, we can't beat it, we can completely release the gun and throw the grenade, let's just say that we beat it, didn't their Red Party keep talking about the united front, do they dare to take the initiative to attack us?" ”

Ma Hongkui thought about it and felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "Okay, then you will lead the two armies and go to Wuhai City in the starry night, remember, you must not stir up trouble." ”

Ma Dunjing patted his chest and said with a smile: "Abba, don't worry, it's absolutely fine." ”

Ma Dunjing led the troops to Wuhai City, and saw that the city gate was opened, and the Japanese army stood neatly at the city gate, and his heart was suddenly settled, and he stepped forward excitedly and said, "I'm Ma Dunjing!" I have come to accept Wuhai City as agreed, and I hope you will keep your promise and leave immediately. ”

The Japanese officers glanced at Ma Dunjing with disgust, in their hearts, they would rather lose to the Eighth Route Army, which was good at fighting, than to lose to a boy like Ma Dunjing without a fight.

"It's all for the sake of strategy, everyone has to be patient, and then we can see the Red Party and them kill each other, how far away is the Red Party's Eighth Route Army?" The Japanese commander asked.

"We're retreating, and we'll be under the city in about four hours." The staff officer next to him said.

"Then wait another three and a half hours and tell them that we still have expatriates to leave, let them wait another three and a half hours." After the Japanese commander finished speaking, he turned back and rested.

After listening to what the Japanese army said, Ma Dunjing was a little angry, but he thought that he couldn't let this great achievement run away like this because of a momentary mood, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

――

"Commander, Wuhai secret report, Ma Dunjing suddenly led the troops to appear under Wuhai City, and the Japanese army is confronting them, but it is strange that they did not exchange fire, and it is likely that some agreement has been reached." The communication soldier took the telegram and handed it to Xiao Jinguang and said.

Xiao Jinguang frowned and said, "Since we entered Suiyuan, the resistance of the Japanese army has not been strong, I am still strange, it seems that the Japanese army is ready to give up Wuhai to Ma Dunjing, so don't we come in vain?" ”

Zhou Xing, who had already caught up next to him, said, "This is not good, let's not talk about anything else, without Wuhai as a transit station, we can only take the land route to Bayannur, this is hundreds of kilometers, and our logistics supply will have a big problem." ”

Xiao Jinguang nodded and said, "That's true, no matter what, we have to take Wuhai, but we also have to carry out the order of the united front, if it has really been preempted by Ma Dunjing, we must not shoot the first shot!" ”

Saying that, Xiao Jinguang shouted loudly, "Everyone move forward quickly, except for ammunition, weapons, water and food for a day, throw them all away." ”

The soldiers immediately ran, and their bedding, pots and pans, tents, and everything was thrown all over the ground.

――

"Report, the Eighth Route Army is only five miles away from us, and it has already exchanged fire with our alert troops." The communications soldier hurriedly ran over and said.

The Japanese commander nodded and said, "Retreat immediately, and the special team will stay on mission." ”

"Do you want to let Ma Dunjing enter the city?" The staff officer asked.

"Humph! No, let him judge for himself. The Japanese commander waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers who had been preparing for a long time lined up and ran towards Baotou.

――

"Childe, why is this Japanese missing?" An officer said to Ma Dunjing.

"It's a little strange, come here, go in and have a look." Ma Dunjing looked at Wuhai City, which was full of Japanese flags everywhere, but it was empty, and said strangely.

"Report, our people found that there are troops with blue sky and white sun flags that are quickly rushing towards us, it seems to be the Eighth Route Army." A cavalryman came running and shouted.

"Damn, no matter, get into town! If the Japanese army didn't leave, they didn't want it, let them fight with the Eighth Route Army! Saying that, Ma Dunjing mounted his horse and quickly entered the city with his troops.

Less than 800 meters outside Wuhai City, a small army of only 100 people was waiting patiently, they were wearing the military uniform of the Ma Jiajun and holding a formal rifle in their hands, and they were facing the Eighth Route Army garrison led by Xiao Jinguang.

"Which unit are you from?" One of the small units stood up and shouted.

"Where are you from our Eighth Route Army?" Xiao Jinguang looked at the Ma family's dress and sighed, and motioned for the soldiers to answer.

"We belong to the Ma family's army, and our General Ma Dunjing asked your commander to come into the city to speak." The man continued to shout.

"What to do? Do you want to go in? Zhou Xing asked.

Xiao Jinguang nodded and said, "We can't be underestimated by them, in this way, I will go in, you leave a brigade for me, and the other troops, you take it and immediately turn to Bayannur, and then let the follow-up troops quickly set up the military station and send supplies." Saying that, Xiao Jinguang came out with a few cavalry and said, "We're here, take us into the city." ”

"On the orders of Commander Ma, the Eighth Route Army went to war without authorization, did not obey military orders, committed a heinous crime, and should be punished and killed!" Saying that, it was just a shot, Xiao Jinguang only felt a pain in his shoulder, and he fell under the horse.

Then the machine guns and rifles of the small unit opened fire together, and in an instant, Xiao Jinguang's troops fell one or twenty people.

"Damn it, shoot back! Fight back!! Save Commander Xiao" Zhou Xing's eyes were about to crack, and he roared frantically. (To be continued.) )
