The decision of the puppet army wing captain was immediately supported by a group of puppet soldiers, and now they are in a desperate situation, surrounded on all sides, there is no hope of breaking through, and it is simply the best choice to turn against the Japanese devils who have never regarded them as people.

Therefore, under the command and leadership of the puppet army captain, more than 4,000 puppet troops swarmed forward, and instead of helping the devils who were still struggling to resist in the ambush circle, they attacked the dragon's tooth ambush troops, but directly under the stunned and angry gaze of the devil soldiers, they suddenly opened fire on them.

Rows of bullets hit each other, and the casualties of the devils who were already in danger suddenly increased, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury.

While firing, the commander of the puppet army made his soldiers shout in unison: "We surrender, we surrender!" Don't shoot at us, we help you fight the Japs! ”

Zheng Yunshan and Li Yunlong vaguely heard the shouts of the puppet army, walked out of their temporary command post, climbed high and looked at the ambush battlefield, and sure enough, they saw that the puppet army was firing at the Japanese army, forming a dense covering firepower with their own ambush troops, and directly surrounded the devils in this encirclement on all sides.

More than half an hour later, nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers who had escaped from Datong were all annihilated by the guard regiment and Li Yunlong's headquarters in the wilderness five miles north of the city.

Of course, the addition of more than 4,000 puppet troops also provided a lot of help.

The pursuing troops in the city also rushed over, and more than 4,000 puppet troops were immediately disarmed, and then escorted back to Datong according to the prisoners, waiting for Qiao Youhua's disposal.

Although they defected to their own side on the verge of surrender, they still had to disarm, and it was a matter of time to reorganize into the troops, and now of course they were disposed of as prisoners.

Otherwise, if the battle is over, they will strike a counterattack, or directly lead the team to take the opportunity to escape, it will be more than worth the loss.

After Qiao Youhua led his troops to easily recover Datong, he ordered the troops to temporarily stop marching and rest in Datong, and the thousands of captured puppet soldiers were sent back to Taiyuan.

There were already a lot of puppet army prisoners in Taiyuan, and where was the chief of staff Zuo Quan to deal with the follow-up matters, as more and more brother troops of the Eighth Route Army arrived, these puppet troops believed that they could be properly disposed of.

Most of them should have been vetted and cultivated by the government to become a member of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, Zhao Tiezhu's cavalry reconnaissance battalion also came back from Yanmen Pass, and they found several small remnants of the 108th Division.

With the cooperation of the local people, the cavalry's mobility was fully exerted and they were annihilated one by one, so that the 108th Division of the Japanese Army should be completely wiped out.

…………

In Taiyuan City, there were already more than 20,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army, who were the first to arrive from all over the country, and they were almost one after the other, and there were two divisions of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army.

Although Yan Xishan, the leader of the Jin Sui Army, was very eager to return to the old nest Taiyuan City, but Taiyuan City was under the control of the Eighth Route Army, although he was annoyed, he did not dare to brazenly order the troops to fight with the Eighth Route Army, and the front-line commanders on both sides understood that the issue of Taiyuan ownership might not be solved without fighting, so both sides were now very restrained and did not have any conflicts because of the ownership of Taiyuan.

More than 20,000 Eighth Route Army troops were stationed in Taiyuan City, taking over the city defense, and controlling the city, railway stations and airports and other military important places around Taiyuan.

The Jin Sui Army and the Central Army were stationed in Jinyuan, Xushui and other counties south of Taiyuan and stopped going north.

The high-level of the two sides have already started negotiations at the political level, and these are not what Qiao Youhua needs to care about, Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee is majestic and strategic, and he will definitely not suffer losses if he has his own arrangements and decisions.

Moreover, now is the anti-Japanese period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the united front of the whole nation, even if you suffer a small loss, it doesn't matter, Qiao Youhua is familiar with the trend of history, and the Communist Party of China will definitely establish a new China under the leadership of Chairman Mao, which is an undoubted thing.

…………

Beiping City, in the operational conference room of the North China Front Headquarters of the Japanese invasion of China.

The supreme commander of the Japanese army in North China, General Tada Jun, is furious at the moment, and the reason for his anger is not only the loss of Taiyuan, the 108th, and 109th master regiments, but also because of the commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Kazuki Seiji.

Tada Jun, Iizawa Mamoru and others just got the news that Datong was also captured by Qiao Youhua's army, and the defenders of more than 10,000 people were wiped out, and Xiangyue Qingji, a bastard, fled to Zhangjiakou in Chahar with his guards early.

Lieutenant General Iizawa Mamoru also felt that Kazuki Seiji was simply hopeless, and in order to calm Tadajun's anger, he took the opportunity to say: "Your Excellency, as the supreme commander of the First Army, Kazuki Seiji should have been mainly responsible for the loss of Taiyuan and even the entire Shanxi.

At present, the 108th Division, the 109th Division, and all units of the Imperial Army in Shanxi have all been annihilated, and the losses are extremely heavy. At present, this person has fled without a fight in Datong again, and the Datong garrison has been completely annihilated, and our North China Front has suffered extremely heavy losses.

Because of the loss of Shanxi, the situation in North China has changed abruptly, which is particularly unfavorable to our Japanese Empire, and I ask Your Excellency the General to request that His Majesty the Emperor and the high-level officials of the base camp be severely punished to appease the anger of the officers and men of the Imperial Army. ”

Tada Jun glanced at his chief of staff with a gloomy face, nodded happily and said: "Yo Xi, just do it, the telegram is drawn up by you, Iizawa-kun, and those who escape from the battle must be punished as they deserve." ”

Iizawa Shoudao: "In addition, we should also notify the special high school and immediately send people to Zhangjiakou intensively, first remove Xiangyue Qingsi from the military power, and secretly control it, just in case." ”

Tada Jun nodded and said, "Well, I have to escort him to Beiping to wait for the punishment decision of the base camp." ”

"Also, the war in Shanxi has basically ended, order the front-line troops in Cangzhou, Baoding and other places to withdraw to their respective defense areas, and stop making senseless sacrifices." Tada added.

"Hai, I'll do it right away." Mamoru Iizawa bowed his head sharply.

…………

After resting in Datong for two days, Qiao Youhua once again received a telegram and a commendation telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the Yan'an Party Central Committee, in addition to lavishing and affirming his and his officers' achievements.

The General Headquarters and the Party Central Committee ordered Qiao Youhua to continue to lead his troops to the northwest, and to divide the troops into two routes, marching to Zhangjiakou and Suiyuan respectively, to cut off the railway communication line from Suiyuan to Beiping.

The strategic intent of the headquarters is obvious, that is, Qiao Youhua wants to unite with the guerrillas in the border areas of Suijin, Chahar and Hebei to sweep through Saibei in one fell swoop, recover Suiyuan, Chahar and western Hebei and other vast areas, and connect the Jin-Cha-Ji anti-Japanese base areas into a piece.
