Chief of Staff Wang Dehou looked at the telegram and read down the devil generals and officers he had killed one by one.

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong glanced at each other, and they both saw a strong joy in each other's eyes.

"One, two, three... Eight. ”

"A total of 8 generals were killed, including 3 lieutenant generals and 5 major generals."

The number of lieutenant generals and major generals that Wang Dehou killed was announced separately.

The Eighth Route Army wanted to be captured alive, but the devil general Bushido spiritual comprehension was not ordinarily strong, either stubbornly resisted or shot himself in a desperate situation.

I don't even give the opportunity to catch the devil alive.

"Great."

Zhao Gang smiled and couldn't help but wave his fist:

"This battle was really beautiful, the First Army, the 28th Division and the notorious Fifth Division were finally wiped out, and even the division commander and commander were killed by us!"

So far, the entire campaign has only lasted about 20 days.

This battle was fought more smoothly than Zhao Gang imagined.

Among the estimated casualties in the battle plan, after this battle, the casualties estimated by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and Li Yunlong were around 50,000 to 70,000.

But at present, it seems that the total casualties of the Eighth Route Army are less than 20,000.

On the one hand, the Eighth Route Army used ground-penetrating bombs, which barely cracked the devil's tunnel tactics and surrounded the devil's two divisions plus a wing of the fifth division.

On the other hand, the main force of the devils in Taiyuan saw that the situation was not good, slipped away from Taiyuan, and crashed headlong into the large encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, more than 30,000 devils in Niangzi Pass were also surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.

This large-scale offensive battle was simply fought by the Eighth Route Army into three large-scale encirclement and annihilation battles.

Before the war, almost everyone didn't expect that it would be such a three-flowering battle.

"Kill 8 devil generals!"

Grand Master Li's tone was extremely happy, and his characteristic voice and laughter spread far away:

"Haha, Lao Zhao, let's get rich in this battle!"

Compared with others, Li Yunlong cares more about the business price earned in this battle.

Kill three devil lieutenant generals and five devil major generals, and you can get 8 Sabre fighters at once.

Of course, in addition to Sabre fighters, there are other military factories such as weapons and ammunition production lines, and civilian factories and other equipment, as well as B4 heavy howitzers, Katyusha rocket launchers, armored vehicles, tanks, various automobiles and a lot of fuel.

It's bloody.

That is, the current 5th Division was reorganized into a three-unit mechanical division, the brigade structure was abolished, and the division had three infantry wings under its jurisdiction.

Otherwise, there will be two more brigade commanders' business prices.

Although the strategic goal of the Eighth Route Army to launch a major campaign this time was to kill the 100,000 devils in Shanxi, as well as these devil generals.

But when some goals were really achieved, killing 8 devil generals at a time still made Li Yunlong a little ecstatic.

In fact.

With the combat effectiveness of the devils, 30,000 devils were surrounded by the main force of the 100,000 Eighth Route Army, which was at a great disadvantage in terms of strength and firepower, and it was still surrounded.

Some devils can break out of the encirclement.

At the beginning, Li Yunlong gathered the main force of the 50,000 Eighth Route Army and ambushed the 1st Division of the Devils, but the Devils fled with four or five thousand people.

It's a pity that only some of the devils can escape.

Moreover, this time, the Eighth Route Army also had more than 4,000 elite cavalry participating in the battle, specifically chasing and intercepting the devils who broke through.

Most of these devil generals were killed by the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army after breaking out of the encirclement under the cover of their own guards.

Cavalry units are still very necessary, and cavalry units are more flexible than infantry in mobile combat and pursuit operations.

This battle.

Without the cavalry of the new 1st Regiment and the new 2nd Regiment, it would be difficult for the 100,000 main forces of the Eighth Route Army on Zhengtai Road to achieve such great results.

Even Yoshio Iwamatsu and Masashi Hanatani are no exception.

"It's really rich."

The smile on Zhao Gang's face became richer and richer, and he nodded.

In this battle, the number of enemies destroyed, the amount of materials seized, and the price of business are so high that I am afraid that the two years of business have earned more weapons, ammunition, and military equipment combined.

That is, the co-captain of the devil is not a business, otherwise under the leadership of Li Yunlong and himself, there are probably hundreds of Japanese co-captains killed.

"In this list of killed devil generals, why is there no Yamamoto Kazuki?"

Li Yunlong's expression suddenly moved.

Kazuki Yamamoto was promoted to major general, and Li Yunlong had already received the information.

Although Yamamoto Kazuki rarely had a solid record in the First Army, Li Yunlong felt that Yamamoto Kazuki was more capable than other devil generals, and he was deeply impressed by Yamamoto Kazuki.

Even Zhao Gang on the side couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard Yamamoto Kazuki's name.

In the hands of this devil, there is a special force called Yamamoto's special forces.

Kazuki Yamamoto and his secret service team have always been a threat to the Eighth Route Army, although this threat is small.

Wang Dehou said tentatively: "Yamamoto may have been surrounded by us in the tunnels of Qinglong Mountain or Taigu Defense Line, or may he have escaped?" ”

Li Yunlong nodded, it was all possible.

However, a major general Yamamoto is only worth his attention at most.

Li Yunlong pointed to the Qinglong Mountain and Taigu defense lines on the map on the table, and his tone was excited: "Among the devils who are surrounded by us on the periphery of Taiyuan, there should be two devil lieutenant generals, the commander of the 41st Division, Qing Shui Rule, and the commander of the 24th Division. ”

"Lao Li, if you count it like this."

Zhao Gang smiled slightly, pointed to the Niangziguan on the map, and said:

"In Niangzi Pass, there are also 3 lieutenant generals and 2 brigade commanders, as well as a lieutenant general and chief of staff of the North China Front."

"If nothing else, we can kill at least 16 devil generals in this battle."

When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

16 devil generals, that is, 16 Sabre fighters, plus the price code of other weapons, ammunition, vehicles and fuel, Li Yunlong is a little unimaginable.

These 16 Sabre fighters, plus several Sabre fighters that have not been redeemed before, can form a Sabre fighter squadron.

The only shortcoming, the lack of pilots in the Eighth Route Army.

However, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard that YA and the headquarters were already recruiting Chinese pilots from overseas through their connections, as well as internationalist fighters who were willing to join the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou: "Chief of Staff, immediately forward this telegram to the headquarters, the 129th Division Headquarters, the Independent Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Jizhong Military Region Headquarters." ”

"Yes."

Wang Dehou smiled slightly, took the telegram and turned to leave.

As an operational staff officer at the headquarters.

Wang Dehou had already imagined the happiness of the head of the headquarters and the chief of staff, as well as the operational staff officers, as well as the division commanders, division chiefs of staff, and division operational staff officers after receiving this telegram.

Looking at the back of Wang Dehou leaving, Zhao Gang said with a smile: "This telegram will be sent to the office of the Eighth Route Army in Chongqing by the head of the headquarters, and then published on the front page of "Xinhua Daily" tomorrow. ”

"The devil will know when the time comes." The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth turned up, "They were killed by us again, and 8 devil generals." ”

"Then order all the departments to work harder, and strive to kill the remaining devil soldiers and generals as soon as possible!"

……

Lady off.

The battle had entered the white heat, the dense gunfire was heard far away, and the battle was extremely fierce.

The devils who were surrounded all already knew that the devils of the four divisions were moving closer to them.

So.

The devils occupied more than 20 hills in the surrounding area, large and small, and in the face of the attack of the Eighth Route Army, they chose to resist stubbornly.

In a desperate situation, the devil fought to the death, and the combat power that broke out was still not to be underestimated.

"Regimental commander, political commissar."

At the headquarters of the independent regiment, the chief of staff reported to Kong Jie and Wang Yingcai the battle situation transmitted back by the front-line attacking troops:

"The devil's troops are gathered on these big hills, as well as more than a dozen or twenty small hills around them."

"These days, although the devils are bombed and shelled, the sappers and infantry of the devils have dug a lot of trenches and anti-artillery holes on these hills."

"Our artillery is basically 75mm mountain guns, 82mm mortars and 60mm mortars."

"Although there are many artillery and shells, the devils also suffer heavy casualties."

"But there are still a lot of devils, gathered on these hills, and almost all of our troops' attacks are from the back, and the casualties are greater than expected."

"But please rest assured that our soldiers will definitely be able to wipe out all the devils within two days."

When Kong Jie heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

The fierce resistance of the devil was somewhat unexpected by Kong Jie.

After being shelled and bombed for three whole days, the devils had almost no food and little ammunition, and they could still resist like this.

The tenacity of the devil soldiers' will to fight, looking at the world, they are also among the top three.

At this moment, a telegraph soldier held the telegram in his hand, walked in quickly, and gave a military salute to Kong Jie and Wang Yingcai.

"Report to the head of the regiment, political commissar!"

"The front headquarters sent a telegram that our Eighth Route Army has killed 8 devil generals, including the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, and the commander of the Fifth Division, Lieutenant General Matsui Taikuro."

As he spoke, the telegraph operator handed the telegram in his hand to Kong Jie, and then turned to leave.

"Great."

"Well done!"

"Kill 8 devil generals in one battle, I'll be a good one!"

The officers, including Kong Jie and Wang Yingcai, were all excited.

"Taiyuan and Zhengtai Road are playing beautifully, we can't fall behind!"

Kong Jie's heart was itching, like a cat scratching, among the devils who were surrounded in Niangzi Pass, there were also 6 devil generals.

Killing these six devil generals and the merits and business of these tens of thousands of devils will definitely make the independent regiment and the brother units of the Jizhong Military Region get heavy rewards and make a fortune.

"Commander, what are you going to do?"

Political Commissar Wang Yingcai asked.

"Chief of Staff, immediately call for air support to the Headquarters Flying Regiment and the Independent Regiment Flying Group."

Kong Jie's eyes were murderous, and his tone was fierce:

"This time for air support, all planes only carry incendiary bombs, and Lao Tzu wants to burn all the devils into roast pigs!"

"Yes."

The chief of staff looked stunned and turned to leave.

……

[Highly recommend "Volunteers: Heroes Attack", although it is a little worse than "Changjin Lake", but it is also a good war film to resist US aggression and aid Korea, especially the battle of Songgu Peak at the end of the film, the scene where the US plane drops incendiary bombs to bomb the volunteers, show me tears, and I will have the opportunity to write a war to resist US aggression and aid Korea and fight the devil of the United States in the future.

There are still a few hours left to end for the double monthly pass, kneel down and beg for a wave of monthly passes, thank you! (End of chapter)
