Chapter 657: So Fast?
Yang Spring. 37th Division Headquarters, War Room. Officers of the 37th Division, including Division Commander An Da 23, gathered together.
Several operational staff officers reported the situation according to the Niangzi Sekiyoshida Brigade. The battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese puppet army in Niangziguan was made on the sand table.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander!" Taro Eguchi, chief of staff of the 37th Division, wearing white gloves, pointed to a bamboo pole and said to the map: "At present, Tubachi Road is building trenches in the northeast and northwest directions of Niangzi Pass. ”
"The Locust Army and the Locust Alliance Army counterattacked once, but they were repulsed, the equipment of this Eighth Route is average, but the ammunition is very sufficient, and their artillery has carried out an artillery bombardment of Niangzi Pass for more than an hour."
"The number of Tubalu is relatively large, but the combat effectiveness is not strong, this should be a certain unit of the Tubalu Jinchaji Military Region." Adachi Twenty-Three nodded, and the last point was similar to what Taro Eguchi thought.
"When did the first and second mobile detachments arrive at Niangzi Pass, and were they attacked halfway?" Anda Twenty-Three asked.
Niangziguan Station is a traffic fortress through Jinji and Hebei, and it is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight, and Niangziguan Station has become a Japanese military station and an important material transfer station.
The stronghold can be wiped out, but the Niangziguan station must not be lost. According to the previous practice of the Eighth Route Army, if the Eighth Route Army really wanted to capture Niangzi Pass.
Blocking troops will definitely be sent to block reinforcements from the direction of Yangquan and Jingcheng County. No matter how bad it is, it will plant some mines halfway, blow up vehicles, and even blow up bridges to block reinforcements.
In other words, encircling points and sending reinforcements is also a trick that the Eighth Route Army has always used. Wait, encirclement and reinforcements? Anda Twenty-Three's heart sank, and he realized that something was wrong.
But soon I comforted myself in my heart that the first and second detachments were elite troops, well-equipped, and if they didn't run into the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, even if they were ambushed, they should be able to protect themselves.
Not to mention, it was almost an hour before the departure of the first and second detachments. According to the speed of the first and second detachments of the motorization, I am afraid that they are already close to Niangzi Pass.
At this time, neither the first detachment nor the second detachment had news of being ambushed, which means that they were not ambushed.
When the first and second detachments arrive at Niangzi Pass, maybe they can attack from both sides and hit this dirt road hard.
The First Army has not won a battle for a long time, and if it wins a battle and deals a heavy blow to this Tubalu, then his promotion to chief of staff of the North China Front Army will be a certainty.
Recently, the base camp is considering a candidate to replace the chief of staff of the North China Front, and Anda 23 is one of the candidates, mainly because his performance in the previous battles with the 386th Brigade, the main force of the Eighth Route Army, was good.
If he was the chief of staff of the First Army, Anda Twenty-three would not have much interest, but the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, the level would be different.
After serving as the chief of staff of the North China Front, he was appointed as the commander of a certain army, and then promoted to the rank of general and the commander of a certain front army, and since then he has reached the pinnacle of his life.
Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Anda Twenty-three exhaled, looked at the captain of the communications team, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately ask where the first and second mobile detachments are?" ”
"Hey!" The communications captain looked grim, bowed his head, and walked out quickly. However, the more you are afraid, the more you come.
Only a few minutes later, the communication captain hurriedly ran in again, bowed his head to Anda Twenty-three, and reported very quickly: "Report to the division commander, the first detachment was ambushed by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Bilianggou, and the second detachment was ambushed by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Longwangluo, ask for tactical guidance!" ”
"What are you talking about?" Because the communication captain spoke too quickly, Anda Twenty-Three didn't hear clearly, and asked with a frown,
"Was the first mobile detachment ambushed, or the second detachment?"
"Smimarseille!" The captain of the devil's communication team hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, then pointed to the sand table in front of him, and said: "The first mobile detachment was ambushed by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army west of Niangzi Pass, and the second detachment was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army east of Niangzi Pass. ”
"Kiyojiro Yamada has broken the jade, and the telegraph officers of the two mobile detachments have asked the division headquarters for tactical guidance!"
"Nani?" Anda Twenty-Three's tone and tone rose abruptly, and his face was full of disbelief,
"Ambushed by a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army?" What shocked Adachi Twenty-Three was not the ambush of the first and second teams, nor the Yamada Seijiro Ozuo Tamasha.
Rather, two mobile detachments were ambushed by a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army! Anda Twenty-three's face suddenly turned blue in an instant, and the devil staff officers on the side, including Taro Eguchi and Dazuo, also stared at each other with wide eyes and shortness of breath.
If it is ambushed by other Eighth Route Army, there is still room to turn around. But being ambushed by a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the first and second mobile detachments were in big trouble!
At this time, Lieutenant General Anda 23 realized that this was a trap. The new regiment of the Eighth Route Army came to the Zhengtai Railway to do something.
It's very angry, but there is no way, even the 10th Division has been defeated, how can the 37th Division beat the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army?
Since the first and second mobile detachments were ambushed, then Niangziguan is probably also ......
"Immediately send an order, mobilize the first and second detachments, do not entangle with the enemy, and immediately transfer to Yangquan and Jingcheng County." Lieutenant General Anda 23 ordered: "The Yoshida Brigade stationed in Niangzi Pass will be transferred to Yangquan immediately!" ”
"In addition, immediately report this situation to the headquarters of the First Army."
"Hey!" The communications captain bowed his head, then turned and walked away quickly. Although there is still a wing of soldiers stationed in Yangquan City, Anda Twenty-three does not dare to send reinforcements and responses.
Even if he now has a full second-line division in his hand, he does not dare to rashly send troops out. Just kidding, this is the new regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army that even the A Division cannot beat.
If he had known that the new regiment had arrived at the Zhengtai Railway, Anda Twenty-Three would definitely not have sent two mobile detachments to reinforce Niangzi Pass.
Looking at the back of the departing communications captain, Anda Twenty-three sighed heavily. After this battle, the position of chief of staff of the North China Front may not be his share............ At the same time.
Fierce battles are raging in and around Niangzi Pass. Battles are taking place in the partial beam ditch west of Niangzi Pass, Longwang convex east of Niangzi Pass, and Niangzi Pass.
The gunfire crackled like a dense firecracker, and the sound of dense explosions was incessant. The reason why Li Yunlong chose to ambush the devil's reinforcements in Bilianggou and Longwangluo was the result of careful calculations by him and Zhao Gang.
The devil's reinforcements generally did not dare to take the train to reinforce. Because it is very dangerous for the devil reinforcements to take the train, once the train is blown up halfway, or when it is blown up on the bridge, the Eighth Route Army can kill the devil reinforcements at a very small price.
That's why the devils equip the motorized detachment with cars and armored vehicles. The two places of partial beam ditch and dragon king convex are very close to Niangzi Pass.
Although the distance between Niangziguan and Jingcheng County is slightly closer than the distance from Yangquan to Niangziguan. However, the road from Jingcheng County to Niangziguan is steeper, and there is even a large section of the winding mountain road, so Li Yunlong concluded that the devils from Jingcheng County and Yangquan should arrive at Niangziguan at about the same time.
Li Yunlong admitted that he had an element of gambling, but he was right. The Devil's Mobile Detachment that set out from Yangquan and Jingcheng County to reinforce Niangziguan entered the ambush circle of the main battalion of the new regiment with a time difference of five minutes.
The main battalion first attacked the devil's convoy with mountain artillery, and then strafed with rifle, light and heavy machine guns, and machine guns.
The Bazooka soldiers, on the other hand, aimed at the devil trucks on the highway and fired directly. In front of the experienced Bazooka soldiers, the devil's truck was again stationary, and the 150-meter fixed target did not put the slightest pressure on the bazooka soldiers of the main battalion.
In the explosion, one devil's truck was named. The devils hiding under the truck, as well as the ammunition on the truck, were reduced to shreds in the explosion.
Super Bazooka casually hits armored vehicles and tanks 100 mm thick, not to mention devil trucks, like shredding pieces of paper.
Anyway, the weapons and ammunition of the devil will be reimbursed, and the fighters are holding the fire hard. Under the strong firepower, the devils began to counterattack with huge casualties, and then broke through.
The ambush line with a length of nearly one kilometer, and it was ambushed in place before dawn, and the ambush position entered was inevitably flawed.
About a squadron of devils escaped, throwing their legs in the direction of Yangquan. The devil turned around and saw that the Eighth Route Army did not chase, and his face couldn't help but show a touch of joy for the rest of his life.
But the next moment, the joy on the faces of the devils froze, and a large force of Eighth Route cavalry suddenly rushed out from the flank, the faces of these Eighth Route Army cavalry were full of fierceness, and the swords in their hands made people can't help but feel cold.
It didn't take long for the cavalry of the first battalion of the new regiment to catch up with the fleeing devil infantry. One after another cloud dragon battle knives cracked down in the air, and one devil after another's heads fell into the snow.
The battle on the side of the dragon king convex was similar to that of the partial beam ditch, and in less than half an hour, the devils of the two mobile brigades were completely annihilated.
The news was transmitted by the devil scout to the Niangziguan station on the phone, and the captain of the devil brigade, Yoshida, was stunned on Monday.
The two mobile detachments are all jade shattered? Is it so fast? Suddenly, Yoshida thought of something in his expression on Monday, there are not many Eighth Route Army that can completely annihilate the Locust Army in such a short period of time and strengthen the strength of the wing, I am afraid that a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is coming.
Thinking of this, Yoshida broke out in a cold sweat on Monday. If a new group comes, then I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it.
At this moment, the telegram of the Yoshida brigade walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand: "Report to the captain, the division headquarters is in an emergency, there is a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army outside, and the division commander orders us to immediately abandon Niangzi Pass and transfer to Yangquan." ”
"Nani?" Yoshida's face changed dramatically on Monday,
"It's really a new mess."
"Immediately give up the Niangzi Pass and transfer to Yangquan!"
"Hey!" The devil phone soldier next to him reached out to grab the phone. At this moment, a dense and sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky, and the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Artillery Battalion of the new regiment began a long-range rapid artillery bombardment of Niangzi Pass.
