In September 1938, according to the instructions of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the headquarters of the Hebei Military Region ordered all units of the Hebei Military Region to launch a large-scale counteroffensive against the Japanese army in the Hebei region.After receiving the order from the military region, Li Guotao immediately led all the independent regiments to dispatch, and in less than half a day, they uprooted all the Japanese puppet army strongholds outside the county town of Anguo and successfully surrounded the county seat of Anguo.And on the evening of the same day, a fierce attack was launched on the county seat of Anguo.The Independent Regiment used mortars, as well as self-made flower cannons, unconscionable cannons and other weapons to violently bombard the county seat of Anguo, and the rumbling artillery sound resounded throughout the county, and there was even more artillery fire near the city wall.The Japanese army in Anguo County urgently asked for help from the nearby Japanese puppet army, and its nearest garrison in Boye County sent two squads of Japanese troops and two companies of puppet troops to rush to support, but this Japanese puppet army had just entered the territory of Anguo, and was immediately attacked by the vicinity of our blocking troops, and after half an hour of fierce fighting, more than 300 Japanese puppet troops were all annihilated.In the early hours of the morning, Li Guotao ordered a general attack on the county seat of Anguo, and the Anguo Independent Regiment and local troops launched an attack from four directions.can only divide troops to defend each city gate, but the Japanese puppet army in the city is limited after all, and the division of troops to defend is even weaker.Then the main force of the independent regiment launched a fierce attack in the north city, the demolition team successfully blew up the city gate, the Eighth Route Army successfully broke through the enemy's city fortifications, and attacked the county seat of Anguo in one fell swoop, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, successfully annihilated more than 500 Japanese puppet troops in the city, and recovered the county seat of Anguo in one fell swoop."
Okay, I know" In the temporary headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Ma Zhenguo put down the phone as he spoke, and said to Li Guotao with an excited face, "Regiment commander, the enemy in the city has been completely annihilated, and our army has successfully occupied Anguo County." ”"Great" Li Guotao nodded with a smile, looked down at the map on the table, and said with a serious face, "Now that we have captured Anguo County, I think we can take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle."
Boye Prefecture is the closest to our Anguo, and before that, Hakuno Prefecture sent a support army to support Anguo, but we annihilated it in one fell swoop.In this way, the defenders of Boye County must be quite empty, and I decided that the troops would immediately advance to Boye County and capture Boye in one fell swoop. ”"What about Anguo County," Chang De asked with a frown."
Two companies can be left to assist the district squads to guard the county seat."
Li Guotao said casually."
But if the little devil launches a counterattack, he won't be able to hold Anguo County at all with this little force."
Chang De said with a worried face."
The little devils who launched a counterattack in the Baoding area were originally empty, and now the Eighth Route Army of our Hebei Military Region has launched a large-scale counteroffensive, Baoding, Cangzhou, and Hengshui are fighting everywhere, and the little devils are not strong enough, so what to use for a counteroffensive.This is a rare opportunity, and we must try to exaggerate the results of the battle before the little devils arrive from other regions. ”Li Guotao said with a serious face.Changde thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Your analysis is also reasonable, the purpose of our counteroffensive this time is to try to contain the Japanese troops in the Pingjin area, in order to deal with the friendly forces in the eastern Hebei region, the bigger the noise we make, the more Japanese troops will undoubtedly be contained, and the pressure on the friendly forces in eastern Hebei will be much smaller, since this is the case, then do as you say" Li Guotao nodded and said, "Since everyone has no opinions, then immediately send an order, and the troops will immediately march and rush to Boye County."
At the same time, the local troops of Boye County were notified to immediately repeat the county seat of Boye and assist our troops in capturing Boye. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and then turned around to convey the order.Subsequently, Li Guotao led his troops to rush to Boye County, and rushed to Boye County in the early morning of the same day.At this time, the Eighth Route Army of Boye County, as well as more than 2,000 local guerrilla militiamen, were also ordered to rush to Boye County, plus nearly 2,000 independent regiments, and the total strength of the Eighth Route Army exceeded 4,000 people, launching a fierce attack on Boye County from four directions.At this time, there were only about 100 little devils stationed in Boye County, and there were also two or three hundred puppet soldiers, facing the fierce attack of our Eighth Route Army.The puppet army guarding the west city gate, after the little devil who supervised the battle was killed by the Eighth Route Army, decisively opened the city gate and surrendered to the Eighth Route Army.Then the Eighth Route Army swarmed in from the West City Gate, attacked the county seat of Boye, and after less than an hour of fierce fighting, all the little devils in the city were annihilated and successfully captured the county seat of Boye.At this time, the independent regiment received a request for help from the friendly army in Lixian County, and the troops originally stationed in the two battalions of the Eighth Route Army in Lixian County, plus the Lixian County Brigade, had a total of more than 1,000 people, and wanted to attack the county seat, but due to the lack of troops, the little devils stuck to the county and did not come out, and the Eighth Route Army did not dare to attack due to the lack of ability to attack.When they learned the news that the Anguo Independent Regiment had captured Boye in one fell swoop, the Eighth Route Army in Lixian County immediately sent a telegram to the Anguo Independent Regiment asking for help, hoping that the Anguo Independent Regiment would send troops to assist them in attacking the county seat of Lixian.After Li Guotao received the news, he immediately discussed with Changde and Ma Zhenguo, and thought that the defenders of Lixian County only had about 200 little devils and more than 400 puppet troops, and the strength was not too much.At this time, the independent regiment was strong and strong, and it captured two county towns one after another, and its morale was in full swing, and there was no problem at all in capturing Lixian.So after resting for a few hours in Boye County, the troops immediately rushed to Lixian County, and rushed to the county seat of Lixian County that night, and cooperated with the local Eighth Route Army to surround the county seat.After Li Guotao arrived in Lixian, he immediately took over the command of the front, and Li Guotao believed that a quick battle should be resolved to avoid other accidents.So he commanded all the troops to launch an attack on Lixian at dawn, and after three hours of fierce fighting, the Eighth Route Army successfully entered the county seat, annihilated all the Japanese puppet troops in the city, and successfully recovered Lixian.Within three days, the independent regiment regained three county towns and annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese puppet troops, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army and boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese army.Two days later, Li Guotao led an independent regiment to assist the main force of the military region in participating in the siege of Hejian.Hejian City is a big city, and the little devils have more troops stationed here, with three teams of troops, in addition to the Japanese army, there is also a regiment of puppet army, and the total strength of the Japanese puppet army is close to 2,000 people.This time, the Hebei Military Region dispatched four main regiments and two battalions of regular troops, as well as several thousand militia guerrillas and other local troops from several nearby counties, with a total strength of nearly 10,000 people, to launch a fierce attack on Hejian.aa2705221:
