……

Looking at the intense siege battle under the dark night, the Japanese puppet army troops defending the city were already crumbling, this impregnable Datong fortress, the base camp of the Japanese army in Mongolia.

It is destined to be completely broken tonight and create a great miracle in the history of the Eighth Route Army's resistance against Japan.

Li Yunlong, who was commanding in the forward air-raid shelter, was in high spirits for a while.

"Haha, what's the matter, Lao Tzu said back then, give me a teacher Lao Tzu dares to fight Taiyuan, this is not much worse than Taiyuan, let's really beat him!"

As he spoke, Li Yunlong, who was almost crazy, turned his head and said to Kong Jie:

"Lao Kong, if you want me to say that after we lay down Datong, take advantage of the momentum of this victory, simply detour back to Taiyuan City, and give him the devil's Taiyuan nest!"

Kong Jiele said: "What does it mean to have a small Taiyuan city? Lao Li, I think I should get you a hundred and ten warships, you just lead the team and pounce on the island country in one go! ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I've wanted to do this for a long time!" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Bragging is not taxed anyway.

While the two were talking and laughing, the front-line combat unit reported through the rift machine:

"Report to the commander, there will be a maximum of 20 minutes to the east of the city gate, and you can break through the Japanese city gate fortifications on all fronts and break into the city!"

Immediately afterward, the good news came one after another.

"The West Gate will be broken in 30 minutes at most!"

“…… The north gate will soon be broken! ”

Everything was expected, and at this time, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were thinking about the next move after successfully defeating Datong.

Kong Jie said: "After breaking through the city gate, on the one hand, we must clear the remnants of the enemy, and on the other hand, we must take down the devil's mechanical troops as quickly as possible.

This Datong is the base camp of the 26th Division, and the mechanized combat vehicles of the little devils are basically in the city.

In addition, the heavy artillery wing of the 26th Division is stationed, as well as the combat readiness warehouse of the division and regiment headquarters, the repair station of the division and regiment headquarters, including various mines, factories, and a large number of prisoner of war camps built by the 26th Division.

Lao Li, in a word, we really made a fortune this time.

No wonder people say that this gun is ten thousand taels of gold.

After the defeat of Datong, just the various resources in the hands of this devil, I am afraid that the troops from our base area will not be enough to transfer them.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people who came this time, and with the help of the comrades of the 120th Division, we had to empty all the materials and equipment in his little devil's base camp even if we relied on two legs. ”

Li Yunlong's eyes were all laughing: "My Taihang is directly under the No. 1 Rapid Reaction Force, and now it is even more settled!" ”

Speaking of excitement, Kong Jie even looked at a more distant place, and then proposed: "As the saying goes, this person has no long-term concerns, but there must be near-term worries."

Lao Li, have you thought about it?

We are just tossing in the northwest of Shanxi, in this Shanxi one-acre and three-point land, even if we make a lot of trouble, how famous can we be?

I think we should make the pattern bigger and stretch out our hands longer, so I've been thinking about it, after we successfully lay down Datong this time.

It is an opportunity for our troops to take off quickly.

If we can grasp this victory, make full use of the war resources that have been rapidly accumulated this time, and create our military advantage.

When the time is ripe, when we fight against the Japanese army, we will move from the stage of strategic stalemate to the stage of strategic counteroffensive.

We can launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army from many parts, regain lost territory, and even gradually spread our troops to all provinces and regions. ”

And Kong Jie's ultimate goal.

"- Three northeastern provinces!"

"Since the 918 Incident, the Japanese army has controlled the three eastern provinces and supported the puppet Manchukuo, and the Japanese military government has invested a lot of energy in building the northeast region for more than ten years.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, no matter how hot our domestic war was, the economic development and construction of the Japanese army in the northeast region never stopped.

The main reason why the little devil has been able to survive this war for so many years is not to rely on the economic output and industrial support of the three northeastern provinces!

To put it most directly, the biggest assets that the devils have plundered since they invaded our China are also the three northeastern provinces.

As the absolute economic center of gravity of our entire Chinese land, the industrial center.

Once the Japanese army is defeated, whoever can take the lead in seizing the three northeastern provinces can be said to be who has won the greatest fruits of victory left over from this war after defeating the Japanese army.

With the strong economic and industrial foundations of the three eastern provinces, it will be an easy thing for any of the troops to win the title of the whole country. ”

"Lao Li, and I also believe that in this regard, the brigade commander and the boss, including Yan'an, I am afraid that they have long been considered, and now the less is a pioneer.

For our Iron Triangle, this kind of thing is who to abandon me.

This urgent pioneer is decided by Kong Jie anyway! ”

Now, for Kong Jie's long-term knowledge, Li Yunlong has long been surprised.

He immediately echoed: "Haha, I don't have to say, this urgent pioneer must be counted as our Lao Li!" ”

"Report to the head of the regiment, news has come from the front line that the North City Gate has been the first to be breached!"

Just then, good news came ahead.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were immediately overjoyed, and the two jointly issued the highest order of the headquarters: "Notify all departments to launch an attack on all fronts, and be sure to defeat all the defense lines of Datong in one fell swoop in the shortest possible time!" ”

……

……

In this earth-shattering surprise attack, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie commanded the troops and fought with the defenders of the little devils in full swing.

In other regions, after learning of the incident, the forces of all parties have already set off stormy waves.

Hetao area.

Headquarters of the Northern Route Army of the Second Theater of the National Revolutionary Army.

When the final intention of the Eighth Route Army to set off a melee this time finally surfaced, the news came that the rapid reaction force would surprise Datong with a shocking force.

Commander Fu sat down in his seat in shock, and exclaimed:

"Hoop? Lao He, this guy is crazy, dare to fight Datong? ”

The chief of staff on the side also recovered from the shock, and hurriedly asked, "Yigong, what should we do now?" Is it to assist the Eighth Route Army in the battle, or ......"

Commander Fu did not immediately give his own answer, but asked in turn: "Do you think it is possible for the Eighth Route Army to really take Datong?" ”

In this regard, the chief of staff didn't think about it, and blurted out directly: "This is absolutely impossible, the Eighth Road does not have this strength at all!" If these eight roads can really lay a chase, Li will see the eight roads in the future, even if he walks backwards? ”

Commander Fu didn't rush to express his opinion, but with his understanding of Lao He, if the other party didn't have a certain certainty, how could he attack Datong with an egg hitting a stone like this?

He was also a little undecided.

But a master like Commander Fu, even if he can't predict the next direction of the battle, he will still make full preparations.

"Opportunity only favors those who are prepared!"

He said so, and immediately issued an order through the headquarters to let the armies immediately enter a state of readiness.

In addition, the fast cavalry units of the entire 35th Route Army will be on the pillow and ready to advance westward at any time.

"Yigong, what are you?"

The corners of Commander Fu's mouth hung up with a confident smile, and said: "The movement of the Eighth Route this time is not small, once Datong is attacked, the Japanese army will definitely quickly reinforce it, and the whole battle situation will become more and more chaotic, and the more opportunities there will be for us."

The Mongolian army has been defending the Baotou area all these years, and we basically have no chance to take the initiative to attack, and we are often passive defense.

This passive beating is not Fu's style.

If the evolution of the battle situation exceeds our expectations, it may be an excellent opportunity for our army to take the opportunity to surprise the Mongolian army in Baotou.

If we win the war, we will regain the lost territory, inflict heavy losses on the troops stationed in Mongolia, and become famous, so that we can further expand our control area.

Even if he loses, it's not a big deal, it's a big deal, let's continue to guard the Hetao area, how can he take Fu?

By the way, I will send Lao He a favor, don't say that when he attacked Datong by the Eighth Route Army in the future, our 35th Route Army did not help. ”

The chief of staff smiled, but he still firmly believed in his own thoughts, and it was impossible for the Eighth Route to have the strength to break through Datong.

Until dawn the next day.

The sky is not yet fully bright.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army attacked by surprise overnight, and the news that the rapid reaction force had broken through Datong surged in all directions like a huge wave.

Headquarters.

Commander Fu sat for a long time, and then slowly spit out a sentence: "Trouble, these eight roads have really knocked down Datong!"

！ ”

The chief of staff on the side was even more sluggish.

I was even thinking in my heart, could it be that I saw the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the future, and I really had to go backwards?

Commander Fu then asserted: "Although Lao He's team is very strong. However, the equipment is backward, and it is absolutely impossible to have such a rapid reaction force.

There's definitely something strange about that.

Amazing! Fu really couldn't imagine how he did all this with the conditions of the Eighth Route Army! ”

……

Reinforcements had already departed.

However, the speed at which the Eighth Route Army broke through the city was too fast, coupled with the melee everywhere, it was difficult for the devils to withdraw reinforcements from all sides, even if they were forcibly transferred, they were blocked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army as soon as they left the city.

When Kong Jie and Li Yunlong used mechanized combat vehicles to transport the rapid reaction force to the city of Datong.

Realizing what the headquarters was really trying to do, the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, including the officers and men of the local troops, were all boiling, doing everything in their power to block the Japanese reinforcements, and also to assist in the final battle plan for the capture of Datong.

Datong.

The Japanese army was stationed at the headquarters in Datong.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Eighth Route Offensive is fierce, our defenders are insufficient, the city gate fortifications are already in danger, when will reinforcements arrive?"

"Chi Zhongjun, please hold on, reinforcements from all walks of life are already advancing towards Datong at a rapid pace, and they will arrive soon!"

...... "Your Excellency, Commander, haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" We're almost overwhelmed! ”

"It's almost time, the reinforcements from the East Road have arrived 30 kilometers away from Datong!"

...... "Your Excellency the Commander......"

"Don't worry, reinforcements are coming soon!"

"No, Your Excellency Commander, I want to say that we don't need reinforcements anymore!"

"Nani? Could it be that the Eighth Route has retreated? ”

"No...... The Eighth Route has already broken through the Fourth Road Gate 20 minutes ago, completely surrounding the headquarters of our army, Your Excellency Commander, I have made up my mind to lead the remnants to fight the enemy to the death, and would rather serve the emperor with broken jade.

As for your relatives in China, please leave it to you! ”

Boom –

The communication on the other end of the phone was completely interrupted, and a loud explosion was finally heard, which startled the commander of the army stationed in Mongolia.

His expression became a little depressed,

"It's over, it's all over, Datong has been completely broken!"

……

The next day, when the sky was completely bright, on the top of the city gate of Datong, an ugly plaster flag that had been planted for an unknown number of years had been planted by the soldiers, and they were trampled on the ground and trampled wantonly.

Immediately afterwards, it was replaced with the bright red flag of the Eighth Route Army.

One is the blue sky and white sun flag, and the other is the axe and sickle flag.

At this time, even the battlefield of the soldiers was basically cleaned.

There was not much left of the Japanese army in the city, and after all the city gates were breached, the devils did not even have a way back to retreat, and the remaining Japanese troops were quickly cleared, and a large number of puppet troops directly chose to surrender.

Then, with the assistance of the surrendered puppet army, the soldiers quickly took over the various foundations of the 26th Division that had been operating in Datong for many years.

Once again, more than 100 military vehicles belonging to the 26th Division were successfully seized, as well as various motorcycles and some special types of search vehicles.

The cadres of the 120th Division, who led the troops to clean up the battlefield, were full of joy.

In the subsequent meeting, Kong Jie said with a smile: "After this battle, our Northwest Military Region will take over the family foundation accumulated by the 26th Division in Datong for many years.

Whether it is the economic base or the industrial base, with this seizure, as long as the development is smooth, our 120th Division can also quickly establish its own industrial system and economic system in the future. ”

With Kong Jie's narration, it seems that he has seen the rapid development of the 120th Division in the future.

The heads of the regiments became more and more excited and rejoicing.

Talking about the next deployment, everyone quickly planned the division of labor and followed the clear plan given by the headquarters.

After successfully conquering Datong and cleaning up the battlefield, the troops will quickly and orderly withdraw from Datong.

The biggest achievement of Datong is to take over the family foundation accumulated by the 26th Division of the Japanese Army for many years.

As for the significance of the city itself, it is not too big.

In addition, at present, the Eighth Route Army is still at a disadvantage on the whole, and it is impossible to hold Datong under the noses of the little devils.

The vast base areas, suburbs, and mountains can be attacked and defended when they advance, and those are the areas that are suitable for the development of the Eighth Route Army's base areas at present.

"Lao Kong, Lao Li, then let's just say so, I immediately led the soldiers to take the captured car north and move closer to Inner Mongolia.

You just wait for the opportunity to lead the rapid reaction force to make a detour in the direction of Licheng! ”

The Song detachment leader of the Yanbei detachment said.

"Good!"

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong responded, and according to everyone's follow-up plan, after taking over the mechanized combat vehicles of the 26th Division.

The troops of the 120th Division quickly formed a rapid reaction force, which moved closer to Inner Mongolia and attracted the attention of the Japanese army.

Then Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led the rest of the rapid reaction force to quickly move south along the Zhengtai Railway, making a detour in the direction of Licheng.

Cooperate with the combat units of the 129th Division, which is attacking Licheng.

Maybe after taking the 26th Division's nest Datong in one fell swoop, he can still take the opportunity to capture Licheng, the logistics base camp of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army......
