Chapter 391: Wanjialing Victory


The Hebei Military Region launched a counteroffensive this time, and in the battle that lasted more than half a month, it successively recovered more than 20 county towns in the Hebei region, annihilated nearly 10,000 Japanese puppet troops, and achieved brilliant results, dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, and at the same time effectively cooperated with the great uprising in eastern Hebei and the battle of Wuhan.e Due to this counteroffensive launched by our army, the Japanese army had to draw troops from the front line and return to North China to stabilize the rear.As a result, the North China Dispatch Army, which was responsible for coordinating with the Chinese Dispatch Army in its attack on Wuhan, did not begin to attack the periphery of Wuhan until October.At the beginning of October, the main force of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army penetrated deep into the Wanjialing area.When it was discovered that the Japanese 106th Division was lone and penetrated, General Xue Yue thought that the opportunity was rare, and immediately sent a telegram to the Wuhan Military Commission and the 9th Theater Command asking for instructions, intending to transfer a large army to annihilate the enemy who had broken through to the rear area.General Xue Yue dispatched the 66th Army, the 74th Army, and the 187th Division from the three aspects of Dexing Road, Nanxun Road, and Ruiwu Road to join forces with the Fourth Army of the 106th Division to block the 106th Division head-on, surrounded on all sides, and attacked with all its might, and more than 100,000 troops began to move in the mountains and mountains, forming a joint encirclement of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army.Okamura Ninji, who was in Jiujiang, discovered from the air force reconnaissance that Xue Yue had laid a pocket formation for his 106th Division, and immediately ordered the 106th Division to turn north and move closer to the 27th Division, and at the same time ordered the 27th Division to guard the right flank of the 106th Division in an attempt to take the 106th Division out of the encirclement.The commander of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, Junrokuro Matsuura, will receive an order from Okamura and act in a hurry, but at a critical juncture, Junrokuro Matsuura and his staff officers found it difficult to identify the map This battle of Wuhan, the military map used by the Japanese army in one in 50,000 cases was stolen by Okamura from Sun Chuanfang in 1926, and was printed and sent to all units by the staff headquarters.For a day or two like a headless fly, he was blocked by the team everywhere, but he did not find a way out.The 106th Division was doomed.After several days of fierce fighting, under the blow of the team, the Japanese 106th Division suffered heavy losses, especially the Japanese army grassroots officers suffered heavy casualties, and the commander of the Hua Dispatch Army, General Jun Liu, personally organized the airdrop of more than 200 officers below the rank of wing commander to the Wanjialing area to strengthen the strength, which was unique in the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.On the 11th, the remnants of the 106th Division retreated to an area of less than 5 square kilometers, including Leiminggu Liu, Shimakeng Liu, Tonghanfu, and Songshuxiong, and waited for reinforcements.Okamura Ninji strictly ordered all the troops to reinforce Wanjialing at any cost.In view of the fact that the main goal of basically annihilating the 106th Division had been achieved, and the casualties of all units were extremely heavy, Xue Yue ordered all units to withdraw from the battle, and the whole army retreated to the line of Yongfeng Bridge, Guobeishan, and Zhelin.Subsequently, Xue Yue sent a telegram to the Wuhan Military Commission: "Although the enemy's attempt to intersperse a roundabout operation has been frustrated, we have gathered to besiege and have not annihilated the enemy, and I regret it very much. ”In the Battle of Wanjialing, although it failed to organize a powerful force at the last moment and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese troops who rescued the 106th Division, the characteristics of the team's mobility and flexibility and strict organization in this battle, as well as the heroic and tenacious spirit of the soldiers and the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, greatly shocked the Japanese army, the government and the opposition, and the international community.And the entire division of the Japanese army was almost wiped out, which has never been seen in the history of the Japanese Army.Wanjialing victory, the Japanese 106th Division under the siege of our army, almost all the army annihilated, our army won a brilliant victory of annihilating more than 10,000 Japanese troops, is the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, our army has achieved another great victory after the Battle of Taierzhuang, once again broke the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army, greatly inspired the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people of the whole country.When the Battle of Wuhan was in full swing, the Japanese base camp formulated an operational plan of "taking Guangzhou in the south, attacking Wuhan, and encircling Wutai in the north," and gathered more than 50,000 troops from the 26th, 109th, and 110th divisions and the 2nd and 4th brigades and regiments of the independent mixed group in North China to carry out a multi-pronged siege of the Jin-Cha-Ji anti-Japanese base area with Wutai Mountain as the center.The battle began in late September, and the Japanese army invaded westward from Dingxian, Wangdu, and Baoxiang in Hebei Province with more than 20,000 troops, and successively captured the border towns of Wanxian, Quyang, and Tangxian to which the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Base Area belonged, but was stubbornly blocked by the troops of our Eighth Route Army on the way, with more than 250 dead and wounded and dozens of horses.Beginning on 23 September, the Japanese army increased its troops by more than 10,000 troops, divided into 10 routes, from Quyang, Yixian, Weixian, Guangling, Hunyuan, Daixian, Dingxiang, Yuxian, Jingcheng, Zhengding, and other places, to attack the hinterland towns of Wutai and Danping base areas.In order to delay the advance of the Japanese army, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region used small units and guerrillas to harass along the way, and at the same time concentrated its main force to annihilate its vital forces, and successively blocked the Japanese troops in Shenquan, Bailan, Zhangjiawan, Wanglinkou, Dongxizhuang, and other places, killing and wounding more than 300 Japanese troops in total, thus gaining time for the masses to clear the walls and clear the wilderness and the transfer of the leading organs in the base areas.From October 1 to 6, the Japanese army successively occupied Laiyuan, Lingchen, Wutai, and Fuping towns.After about half a month's rest, the troops not only completely recovered their combat effectiveness, but also increased their strength, and the total strength of the independent regiment has reached 2,000 people, and its combat effectiveness is strong, and it has become one of the best main regiments in the entire Hebei Military Region.At the beginning of the meeting, Li Guotao, as the head of the regiment, took the lead in speaking: "A few days ago, the Japanese army transferred more than 50,000 troops to carry out a 25-way siege on our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area.In order to cooperate with the friendly forces to completely smash the Japanese army's sweep of our Eighth Route Army, the leaders of our Hebei Military Region studied and decided to send the main force to cross the Pinghan Railway and enter the Taihang Mountains to assist the main force of our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in completely smashing the enemy's sweep.Our Anguo Independent Regiment was selected as the first batch of support troops to take the lead in crossing the Pinghan Railway and entering the Taihang Mountains to fight.This meeting is being convened to discuss this matter. ”"Since it is an order from the military region, then we should obey it, but when will we be the regiment commander" At this time, Yang Erhu, the commander of the first battalion, stood up and asked.aa2705221:
