Ma Zhenguo pointed to the map and said with a serious face: "At present, the eighth column has bypassed Guisui and is advancing in the direction of Ulanqab, and it is estimated that it will arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest, and then we can hand over Ulanqab to the eighth column, and the main force will all withdraw to the vicinity of Fengzhen to assemble."
In addition, after the 35th Army and other units recovered Guisui, except for some troops left to clear out the remnants of the enemy in Suixi, its main force had already begun to move in the direction of Guisui and prepared to attack Guisui. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "There is no new movement on the Japanese side" Ma Zhenguo said with a serious face: "At present, the second independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army has withdrawn to Yanggao, and there is no intention of westward for the time being, but Li Shouxin led a cavalry division and two infantry divisions of the puppet Mongolian army of about 10,000 people, and has rushed from Chabei to Chaxi, and has now arrived in the area of Shangyi and Xinghe, but this dog traitor is also very cautious, and he will never go west after arriving here." ”Li Guotao nodded slightly and said: "This Li Shouxin has been operating in Chabei and Suiyuan for many years, and now he has taken refuge in the Japanese, and he is willing to be a traitor, and he has some strength in his hands.If we can eliminate this big traitor this time, we may be able to take the opportunity to seize his old nest in the Chabei region. ”Ma Zhenguo smiled and said: "The commander wants to do something to this Li Shouxin" Li Guotao waved his hand and said: "I'm just thinking about it, what to do, I still need to wait for the order from the headquarters."
By the way, is there any movement of the Japanese army on the Datong side" Ma Zhenguo shook his head and said: "After the main force of the 26th Division was annihilated by our army, there was only about one brigade left in Datong, and there were no reinforcements arriving in the recent period. ”"That's good," Li Guotao nodded and said.As soon as he finished saying this, a communications staff officer came over with a telegram, respectfully saluted the military salute, and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the headquarters is in an emergency." ”As he spoke, he handed a telegram in his hand to Li Guotao.Li Guotao took the telegram and looked at it carefully, and Ma Zhenguo asked with an urgent face: "What does the headquarters say, is there any new task to be handed over to us?"
”"You guessed it right this time."
Li Guotao nodded with a smile and said: "The headquarters ordered us to leave a brigade of troops to defend Fengzhen, and the main force marched to Chaxi, taking the opportunity to recover Yanggao and other places, forcing the independent second mixed brigade to retreat to Zhangjiakou, and encircling and annihilating it in one fell swoop if there is an opportunity." ”Ma Zhenguo glanced at the sand table and said with a serious face: "If our army makes a detour to the east of Yanggao, the second independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army will definitely be afraid of being surrounded and annihilated by our army, and it will definitely retreat to Zhangjiakou."
In this way, we will not only occupy part of Chaxi, but also give the Eighth Theater more time to capture Guisui. ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said: "The telegram also said that the Eighth Column has been ordered to assemble the main force to attack the puppet army of Li Shouxin's department at the same time, so that we don't have to worry about the threat from this puppet army." ”Ma Zhenguo said excitedly: "It seems that this time, the headquarters wants to recover the entire Chaxi region in one fell swoop." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Now that the army stationed in Mongolia has been severely damaged by our army, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so naturally we must take the opportunity to maximize the results of the battle." ”Li Guotao frowned and thought about it, and then said with a serious face: "Now that the railway has been repaired, immediately order all the trains we captured to go to Ulanqab to standby, so that early tomorrow morning, after the Fourth Brigade handed over Ulanqab to the Eighth Column, it can be transported to Fengzhen by train."
Subsequently, the main force of the Fourth Brigade stayed in Fengzhen, and the Seventh Brigade and the directly subordinate units immediately set off and made a detour to the east of Yanggao. ”"I'm going to arrange it."
Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and quickly turned around and left.On the evening of the next day, the main force of the Fourth Brigade returned to Fengzhen by train, and Li Guotao immediately led the main force of the Seventh Column to march to Chaxi.Okabe Naosaburo received the main force of the Seventh Column to march to Chaxi, and there were signs of outflanking the rear road of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade, fearing that the Second Independent Mixed Brigade would be completely annihilated, he hurriedly ordered the unit to withdraw from Yanggao County and retreat to Tianzhen.The sixth column of our Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to launch an attack on Yanggao County, and after a day of fierce fighting, successfully recovered Yanggao.At this time, the main force of the Seventh Column led by Li Guotao had already rushed to the Yunmen Mountain area, and then received a telegram from the headquarters that they were hiding in place to rest and be on standby, and Li Guotao immediately ordered the troops to rest and stand by in the mountainous area north of Yunmen Mountain.Tanaka Shinichi walked quickly to Okabe Naosaburo and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the Independent Second Mixed Brigade has retreated to Tianzhen, and has now built a defensive line to prevent the Shina army from attacking.In addition, Yanggao has already been lost" "Yagaya Road" Okabe Naosaburo scolded angrily: "These dirt roads are really hateful, and when the reinforcements of His Excellency Commander Tada arrive, I will definitely annihilate them all." ”"Your Excellency, Commander, is angry."
Tanaka Shinichi cautiously said: "There is still something to report to Your Excellency the commander, the eighth column of the Eighth Route Army advanced from Ulanqab to Xinghe County, Li Shouxin, a bastard, fled without a fight, and directly led his troops and horses to withdraw to Zhangbei. ”"Yaga" Okabe Naosaburo was furious when he heard this, and scolded angrily: "These hateful people are really unreliable, they usually only know how to ask the imperial army for weapons and equipment, but they don't know how to share worries for the imperial army at critical moments, and they only think about preserving their strength, which is really hateful." ”"What Your Excellency Commander Hai said is very true, so what should be done with this Li Shouxin in the opinion of Your Excellency Commander," Tanaka Shinichi said with a serious face."
Disposal" Okabe Naosaburo couldn't help frowning, although he was now eager to break this bastard into pieces, but he also knew very well in his heart that the imperial army was still using this guy, let alone killing him, even if the punishment was too heavy, this old boy was angry, maybe he would directly defect to the enemy, and others might not be able to do such a thing, but for this big traitor who has a milk is a mother, this kind of thing is definitely familiar to do, and he doesn't even have to think about it.Since this is the case, how to deal with him After thinking about this, Okabe Naosaburo waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, just send him a telegram and warn him." ”"Isn't that too cheap, bastard?"
asked Shinichi Tanaka, frowning."
Forget it, let's do it, after all, we will still have a useful place for him in the future."
Okabe Naosaburo said with a helpless sigh."
