Chapter 208: All-out Attack (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets, Asking for Various !! ）

The Japanese army in Guisui eventually abandoned the city and fled, although the Japanese army defending the city had a full brigade and a total strength of more than 10,000 or 3,000 other troops in the city, so it stands to reason that they could have a fight. However, because the appearance of the 40th Group Army was too sudden, and because it was still using a large number of tanks and armored vehicles as an assault force, the Japanese puppet army, which had not had much vigilance in the first place, was suddenly stunned, and the troops of more than 10,000 people did not organize effective resistance at all, and quickly collapsed under the strong charge of the 40th Group Army.

The headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia had to flee, there was no way, who let them see the power of the 40th Group Army. After. Gong Chun didn't even have time to pack up the confidential documents in the headquarters, so he hurriedly set a fire and fled west with the guards around him.

With the order of Lieutenant General Harem Jun, the Japanese army began to break through to the west, and a large number of puppet troops were ordered to break off. Chen Feng originally came to the Mongolian army this time, and he didn't pay attention to the puppet army at all, leaving only a small part of the troops to clear the remnants of the city, while he himself commanded the guard brigade and armored brigade to continue to pursue the Mongolian army headquarters.

When they abandoned the city and fled, Harem Chun and the others did not expect that the Chinese army would dispatch such a large-scale mechanized force this time, and it was only after leaving the city that they discovered the seriousness of the matter. Pursued by cars and armored vehicles, the more than 6,000-day puppet army that had escaped from the city was caught up before they could run 20 miles. As a last resort, Kuroda Shigetoku had to order a brigade that had just been gathered to block it on the spot. It is important to buy time for the retreat of the command.

In the absence of a complete defensive position, or even a lack of heavy weapons, and the average ammunition for each soldier is only a dozen rounds, the result of 1,000 Japanese troops resisting the elite mechanized troops of more than 15,000 people is conceivable. Due to the lack of anti-tank equipment, all the weapons and equipment of this infantry brigade could not pose a threat to tank armored vehicles, and under the rampage of the armored brigade, this infantry brigade was completely wiped out in less than half an hour.

Half an hour later, the roar of the car appeared again in the ears of the Japanese puppet army who continued to escape, and Lieutenant General Harem Jun had no choice but to order the troops around him to continue to block the attack, while he, Kuroda Shigetoku and others hurried forward and continued to escape, as long as the troops behind could hold out for twenty minutes. Then they would flee into Chasuqi in peace.

Due to the constant resistance of a large number of Japanese puppet troops. In the end, Chen Feng did not capture the headquarters of the Mongolian army, but besieged them in Chasuqi.

Seeing that some of the remnants of the Mongolian army had fled into Chasuqi, Chen Feng ordered the guard brigade to attack the city overnight, and on the other hand, he ordered the infantry behind to speed up their advance. Take control of Guisui and the surrounding areas as soon as possible. Wipe out the remnants of the enemy.

On the same night. The main force of the cavalry group raided the yellow and white flags and the Taifusi flag, completely annihilating the defenders of these three places, while the main force of the two cavalry regiments of the Mongolian National Salvation Army attacked Ulanhua. Victorious, the name of the Lord of Tana resounded throughout the Gergentala steppe.

Thanks to the assistance of the independent battalion of Liu Guodong and others, the instructor also easily broke through the two blockade lines of the Japanese army in Rehe, and the large army was advancing towards the middle of Rehe and eastern Hebei.

The actions of the Seventh Independent Division directly stimulated the North China Front, and more than 20,000 main forces suddenly launched an attack like the Japanese army in Xiayuan, because the Japanese puppet army did not expect that the Chinese army in Zhangjiakou would dare to take the initiative to attack, and was caught off guard without defense, the Independent Seventh Division quickly advanced that night, captured Xiayuan at dawn, and pushed the front forward for 40 miles, which greatly alarmed the North China Front Headquarters.

In one night, Terauchi Shouichi seemed to be ten years old, he never thought that the situation would become so fast, a few days ago he had the upper hand, the army of China in the North China region was defeated and retreated, Taiyuan, Linyi, Zaozhuang and other military towns were captured one after another, the army marched forward, annihilated and captured more than 50,000 Chinese troops, and many Chinese government troops surrendered to join the imperial army.

But in the blink of an eye, it was embattled, and the headquarters of the Mongolian army was now besieged in the county town of Chasuqi, with less than 3,000 defenders in the city, and there were not many weapons and equipment in stock, and the siege of the main force of the 40th Army was in danger. The grasslands in the north were also completely chaotic, and when Wulanhua and several banner counties in northern Chabei were attacked, King De, Li Shouxin and others in Xilinhot City did not organize troops to rescue which places, but gathered troops and hurriedly fled to Tongliao, Chifeng and other places, and escaped a lost dog alive.

In addition, the western part of Rehe was also attacked, and according to the defenders of Rehe, the Chinese army attacking Rehe was at least 20,000 men, or even more. According to General Terauchi Shouichi, the imperial army stationed in Rehe adds up to only one brigade, plus a wing stationed in eastern Hebei, with a total strength of less than 9,000 people, even if there are more than 10,000 puppet troops, but it will definitely not be the opponent of the Chinese army.

Terauchi Shouichi panicked this time, so far more than 10,000 puppet soldiers have been killed or missing, although the real Japanese army is only more than 4,000 people, but this is just the beginning. Not to mention that the Japanese army in Lunan was in urgent need of rescue, and the troops in Hebei and the Pingjin area could not be mobilized, the main force of the 40th Group Army of China had already hit Xiahuayuan, in order to prevent a repeat of the mistakes made a few months ago, Terauchi Shouichi could not send the only division and one brigade at hand this time under any circumstances, otherwise not only the headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia would be surrounded, but even the general headquarters of the North China Front Army would be surrounded.

However, the headquarters of the Mongolian army must be rescued, and the direction of Rehe cannot be ignored, otherwise, the strategic situation of the imperial holy war will undergo major changes, and this change will be extremely bad for the empire.

On the one hand, General Terauchi Shouichi ordered the headquarters of the Mongolian army to hold on, and on the other hand, he ordered the Fourth Division stationed in Baotou and the Second Cavalry Division of the Imperial Allied Army stationed in Tuoketuo County to immediately move closer to Chasuqi, and also ordered the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade Regiment, the 3rd Infantry Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the 2nd Independent Cavalry Regiment, and the 1st Artillery Regiment stationed on the Qingshui River front line to immediately withdraw their troops, not to entangle with the 35th Army of China, and to quickly return to the aid of Chasuqi.

When he learned that the Shina army had dispatched at least 200 chariots this time, General Terauchi ordered Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's Provisional Aviation Regiment to be ready at any time to carry out a strategic bombardment of the Shina armored forces and deal a devastating blow at every opportunity.

On the one hand, he ordered the Second Independent Garrison Wing stationed in Tangshan to immediately gather his troops, and at the same time ordered the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade and the Third, Sixth, and Ninth Brigades of the North China Public Security Army stationed in Rehe to urgently move closer to Chengde.

In the face of the menacing Independent Seventh Division, Terauchi Shouichi had no choice but to order the newly formed Yamashita Division to urgently drive to the front line of the lower garden to block the southward movement of the Independent Seventh Division.

General Terauchi Shouichi felt an unprecedented crisis, although the current situation was crisis, but there was no uncontrollable defeat, but now that the elite of the front army was exhausted, there were no reserves. Before joining forces with the Central China Dispatch Army to launch the Xuzhou Campaign, Terauchi Shouichi actually regarded the 26th Division and the 4th Division as the general reserve of the Front Army, but he did not expect that the 40th Group Army played a trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle with his backhand, and the general reserve of the North China Front Army was gone.

For this reason, Terauchi Shouichi ordered the first army on the Shanxi front to immediately end the battle, as long as Taiyuan was occupied, and as for the remnants of the second war zone in China, they should not pursue, let alone attack in the south of Jinnan or southeast of Jin.

The troops on the Shandong front also received an order from the front army headquarters, and the whole army immediately pressed on it, and it was necessary to crush the troops of the fifth war zone in China within a week and end the battle in Lunan.

On June 29, gunfire rang out outside the city of Chasuqi all night, and Chen Feng and others did not sleep all night. As soon as it was dawn, the kitchen brought a large bucket of gruel and a large pot of hot white steamed buns to the officers in the temporary headquarters.

After a busy night, the officers in the command headquarters were so hungry that they were close to their backs, and they didn't pay much attention to the combat period, so after taking the bowl, Chen Feng ate it in a big gulp, and at the same time asked everyone in the command headquarters to eat immediately, and continue to command the battle after eating.

Before the meal was finished, Xiao Li, the radio operator, got up and reported: "Report to the headquarters, the intelligence department has called, and more than 15,000 people from three infantry wings, one cavalry wing, one chariot wing and one artillery wing of the Japanese Fourth Division stationed in Baotou are rushing towards Chasuqi. In addition, a cavalry division of the puppet army stationed in Tuoketuo County is also rushing towards Chasuqi, with a total strength of more than 4,000 people, all of whom are cavalry. ”

"Call back to the intelligence department, just say that I know the truth, and ask them to continue to monitor the movements of other units of the Japanese army, and report any situation immediately." Chen Feng said.

"Yes"

After eating, Chen Feng couldn't take a break, the small city of Chasuqi couldn't use so many troops at all, and the follow-up troops were coming to Chasuqi one after another. Therefore, he ordered the guard brigade to be divided into two, one part led by the brigade commander Ma Cao to continue the siege of Chasuqi, and the other part was led by the deputy brigade commander Long Jian, with the cooperation of the first armored regiment to meet the cavalry division of the puppet army.

At the same time, Chen Feng ordered the cavalry group that the army immediately divided into three routes, one route was inlaid with yellow flags and straight to the blue flag, and then went north along the Duolun River to capture Duolun and Xilinhot. One route is to the north with the White Flag, and together with Tana's Mongolian National Salvation Army, they attack the Sunit Banner, the hometown of King De. The last route was to attack southwest from the yellow banner and capture the middle banner of the Chahar right wing and the late stage of the Chahar right flank. (To be continued......)
