Chapter 901: Sweeping Saibei (7)
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, the 21st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, which had broken through from Wucheng, rushed to the area of Shaling Town, and the two infantry regiments of the First Division, two tank companies, and Zhao Tiezhu's cavalry reconnaissance battalion, a total of more than 7,000 ambush troops, had been waiting for a long time.
With cavalry and tank vehicles as the lead, tank guns, machine guns, and submachine guns were used to form a powerful assault fire, and launched a three-sided charge against the devils who rushed in a hurry.
Under the cover of dense firepower, the ghost soldiers who were running in a hurry and tired fell down one after another screaming, and a large number of them fell in an instant.
"Your Excellency General, it's not good, we're in an ambush." Under the rain of bullets and fires, the chief of staff, Kobayashi Cunichi, said to Zhengmu Ming with a panicked expression.
Masaki Mingsan was also frightened, holding his sword with both hands and looking around vigilantly, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Baga, didn't you say that Shaling Town is safe? Where are our receiving units? How come it's all the damn Shina Army?! ”
Kobayashi lowered his head guiltily and was speechless, and just as he was about to persuade Masaki Akizo to order the troops to retreat, a burst of gunfire accompanied by shouts of killing resounded from behind them in the night sky.
But it was Scarface who chased after him with a regiment of pursuing troops, and Kobayashi Cunichi and Masaki Akizo and others couldn't help but show desperate expressions, and now they were surrounded by the dragon's tooth column on all sides.
Bang! After a violent explosion burst out not far from them, the face of the old devil Masaki Mingzo finally revealed the fierceness of the trapped beast, and he raised the general sword in his hand and ordered: "Pass the order, all the imperial army soldiers will fight and fight with the Chinese army to the last soldier." ”
Although the devil soldiers wanted to fight to the death, how could the Dragon's Tooth Column, which had an absolute advantage in terms of strength and equipment, give them this opportunity.
Surrounded on all sides by tanks, cavalry and a large number of infantry, covered by full firepower, any devil soldier who wants to fight a bayonet decisive battle with the Dragon's Tooth Column will inevitably die.
More than 3,000 devils could not hold out for even two hours, and the battle ended with a complete victory for the Dragon's Tooth Column and the annihilation of the Japanese army.
At this point, the Japanese puppet army in Wucheng was completely annihilated by the Dragon's Tooth Column. While commanding his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, Liu Yidao and others sent a telegram to Qiao Youhua, and at that time, Qiao Youhua and others were on their way to Baoding.
After receiving the good news, Qiao Youhua was overjoyed and pondered for a while, so he called Liu Yidao and others back, and ordered the guard regiment to be stationed in the area of Zhangjiakou and Shaling Town, and Liu Yidao led the other three regiments to be responsible for advancing westward, sweeping the southern and western areas of Chahar, and responding to the battle of the Western Route Army.
"Commander, is there anything wrong with rushing back in such a hurry?" Since Qiao Youhua did not explain in detail in the message, after meeting, Jiang Haidong asked.
Qiao Youhua waved his hand and smiled: "It's nothing, it's about the arsenal, this is not important to you, time is pressing, I won't stay in Baoding, I have to go back to the arsenal quickly, the chief of staff of the left should already be waiting for me." ”
Jiang Haidong nodded and said, "Okay, I originally planned to have a good drink with the Dragon King, but now I can only wait for another day." ”
"Do a good job of training and recuperating in Baoding, it may not be long before we have to be ordered to go north to launch a campaign to recover Pingjin, and then I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle waiting for us, and when the Pingjin area is recovered, we will have a celebration banquet at the headquarters of the old devil of Tada Jun, and get drunk!"
Jiang Haidong laughed when he heard this: "Haha, okay, when the time comes, our brothers will not get drunk and not return!" ”
So, Qiao Youhua and others took a short rest in Baoding, fed the war horses with fodder, and replenished food and water, and then continued south along the Pinghan Railway and rushed to Pingshan County.
And when Qiao Youhua and the others had just arrived in the area of Ranzhuang Town, they suddenly received an urgent message from Zhou Dasheng and Zhao Youde, which was a good news.
While the Northern Route Army was gaining momentum all the way to recovering most of the southern Chahar such as Zhangjiakou, Zhou and Zhao also led more than 20,000 main forces, invincible all the way, and after jointly capturing Ulanqab and defeating the main force of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army in Mongolia, the troops were divided into two routes, respectively, and advanced to Baotou and Guisui (now Ordos).
Because the main forces of the Japanese army such as the 26th Division have been defeated, the well-equipped Dragon's Tooth troops have been overwhelmed all the way, and the Japanese puppet army is invincible.
Now that Baotou, Hohhot and other places have been recovered, Li Yunlong even led two regiments of his subordinate to kill outside Guisui City, and with the cooperation of the local guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army, they have successively recovered dozens of towns and villages outside Guisui City and other large areas.
The remnants of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army are now trapped in Guisui City, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out.
Hearing this news, Qiao Youhua was in a better mood, so that it wouldn't be long before the conscription corps could triumphantly.
After resting for a while and expanding the strength of the troops, we can start preparing to recover Pingjin and clear the battle plan of the Japanese forces in Guannai.
After asking Wan Yinger to stop and give Zhou Dasheng and Zhao Youde a reply message to encourage the main officers of the combat unit of the West Route Army, Qiao Youhua and his party continued to go on the road and rushed to Pingshan County.
…………
Beiping City, the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese invasion of China.
After the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Mamoru Iizawa, came out of the confidential room, looked depressed, and stumbled to the office of Commander Tada Jun, as if he had forgotten to knock on the door, he pushed open the half-hidden door and walked in.
Tada Jun, who was sitting behind his desk dealing with military affairs, looked up when he heard the voice, saw Mamoru Iizawa's demeanor, his heart sank, and he asked, "Chief of Staff, what's wrong?" ”
"Wucheng was lost, and when the 21st Independent Mixed Brigade broke through to Shaling Town, it was ambushed by the heavy troops of the Chinese Army, and more than 3,000 imperial warriors such as the brigade commander Masaki Akizo and the chief of staff Kobayashi Cunichi were all wiped out, and none of them survived.
In addition, another unit of the Longya Column also invaded the territory of Inner Mongolia and Suiyuan, and the main force of the Mongolian Legion engaged it in Ulanqab, suffered a miserable defeat, and was defeated and retreated.
Now the entire Suiyuan is left with the city of Guisui, and the rest are occupied by the Chinese army, and the remnants of the 26th Division and other Mongolian troops are trapped in the city, and they are ready to be martyred in the country, and they are determined to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army. After saying the unfavorable news that Qiē had just gotten, Mamoru Iizawa lowered his head bitterly and smiled.
Both he and Tada Jun understood that with the successive losses of Chahar, Suiyuan, Inner Mongolia, and Shanxi, the situation of the Imperial Army in North China was becoming more and more precarious, and if there was no accident, then the next target of the Zhina Army should be the Pingjin region.
If even the Pingjin area is lost, then there will be no need for them, the North China Front Army, to exist.
Therefore, Tada Jun and Iizawa Mamoru were in a very heavy mood, and neither of them spoke, but fell into silence.
