When the Eighth Route Army was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in the area south of Zhangjiakou to Shalingzi, the fierce battle in Xuanhua County never stopped.In order to be able to break through the resistance of our army, the Japanese army broke through the 35th Division and launched a fierce attack on the Xuanhua defense line again.However, in Xuanhua City, the Japanese army was already struggling due to its unfamiliarity with the terrain, and suffered heavy losses under the resistance of our army.And in the evening, this advantage of our army is even more obvious.The Japanese attacked for several hours, but failed to make any substantial progress, but suffered heavy losses.After two o'clock in the morning, the little devils, who had suffered heavy losses, could only be forced to stop the attack.Hearing the gunfire outside, it finally gradually stopped, and Li Guotao breathed a sigh of relief.After smoking a cigarette, seeing that the little devil didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to attack, Li Guotao, who was already exhausted, actually fell asleep on the table.When Li Guotao opened his eyes again, it was already dawn at this time, and when he looked up, he saw that Ma Zhenguo was discussing something with several staff officers, Li Guotao hurriedly asked: "Zhenguo, how is the situation now?"
"Commander, are you awake" Ma Zhenguo heard Li Guotao's words and immediately walked over, his face was filled with excitement.Li Guotao nodded, smiled and said, "Looking at your expression, there must be good news to tell me." ”"Haha, you can't hide anything from the commander."
Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "We were about to call you, we just received a telegram from the previous finger."
Just last night, the main force of our Eighth Route Army had successfully encircled and annihilated the 35th Division of the Japanese Army. ”"Great," Li Guotao stood up suddenly, and said excitedly.Ma Zhenguo continued: "Not only that, last night, Harada Kumayoshi saw that the situation was not good, and personally led his troops to try to break through my Shalingzi defense line and break out.As a result, we intercepted him halfway, and with the cooperation of friendly forces, the attacking little devils were completely annihilated in one fell swoop, and more importantly, Li Yongfu captured Harada Kumayoshi alive in the battle. ”"What did you say, did you say that this Harada Kumayoshi is the division commander of the 35th Division," Li Guotao asked with a look of surprise on his face."
Of course, there are still a few Harada Kumayoshi in the 35th Division," Ma Zhenguo nodded with a smile and said.Li Guotao asked in surprise: "Are you really sure, Li Yongfu and they caught Harada Kumayoshi" No wonder Li Guotao was so surprised, he can't believe it until now, it's really because this matter is too shocking Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "When I first got the news, just like you, I couldn't believe that it was true, and after reconfirmation, I had to believe it."
At present, Harada Kumayoshi, an old devil, has been escorted back to Zhangjiakou and secretly detained. ”Li Guotao took a deep breath and scolded with a smile: "Li Yongfu, this kid has made a great contribution this time, and he actually captured the commander of the lieutenant general division of a devil alive.It's a good job haha" "Well, but after the Japanese army was surrounded, they struggled to the death, desperately breaking through, although the Fourth Brigade finally succeeded in blocking the attack of the little devils, but after this battle, the losses were quite heavy, and they were already greatly injured" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said.Li Guotao frowned, sighed softly and said, "There is no way to do this, war will inevitably cause casualties."
By the way, is there any further instruction from the front finger" "Yes" Ma Zhenguo nodded, and said with a serious face: "The front finger has ordered the eighth column, the ninth column, and the new first division to concentrate the main force to rush to the front line of Xuanhua, prepare to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, and completely repel the Japanese attack on Chahar.Shalingzi is not far from this, and it is estimated that the main force will arrive soon. ”"It's great, immediately notify the troops and prepare for a counteroffensive.This time we're going to let Sasaki get a bastard, and if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin," Li Guotao said with a serious face."
It's me who will arrange it," Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and ran to convey the order.In the headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, a devil Osa said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency the division commander, the reconnaissance plane of the Imperial Army has confirmed that the 35th Division has indeed been completely shattered" After hearing this, Sasaki couldn't help but clench his fists, and his face burst out with green tendons, gritted his teeth and scolded loudly: "Yaga Yalu Harada Kumayoshi, this idiot is a big drop of waste, and the face of the imperial army has made this fool lose all his face" In Sasaki's opinion, Harada Kumayoshi is indeed blamed for this matter, If it weren't for the fact that this guy wanted to capture Zhangjiakou alone, but after capturing Wanquan County, he mobilized the main force to attack Shalingzi and make peace with the 10th Division, and the 35th Division would not have been completely annihilated, and even they had joined forces to capture Zhangjiakou at this time.But now it's too late to say anything, the 35th Division has been completely annihilated, and their 10th Division has also suffered heavy losses, in such a situation, they may be difficult to capture Zhangjiakou again, thinking of these Sasaki to a sense of despair rose in his heart."
Your Excellency the division commander is angry, the imperial army reconnaissance plane has also detected another important information, after the Eighth Route Army encircled and annihilated the 35th Division, the main force is advancing to the Xuanhua front line, it is estimated that it is about to rush to the Xuanhua front line at this time, and I hope that Your Excellency the division commander will make a decision as soon as possible."
The devil Dazuo said respectfully."
Bagaya Road, these damn dirt roads, do you still want to wipe out my 10th Division."
Sasaki scolded angrily."
Your Excellency, Division Commander, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Imperial Army, after several major battles, the Imperial Army has suffered heavy losses, if at this time, Tubalu launches a large-scale counteroffensive with a great victory, the consequences are unimaginable" The devil Dazuo said with a worried look on his face."
Then what do you say, do you just give up attacking Zhangjiakou, what is the face of the imperial army," Sasaki said loudly with anger on his face.That devil Dazuo complained for a while in his heart, now that the 35th Division has been completely annihilated, even if it can capture Zhangjiakou, does the imperial army still have the face to think so, but he doesn't dare to say this.frowned and thought for a while, and said with a serious face: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, I think that with the current situation of the imperial army, the best opportunity to capture Zhangjiakou has been lost, and if the attack continues, it will only increase casualties, it is better to retreat temporarily, and wait until the imperial army is replenished, and launch an attack again, which will definitely be effective in one fell swoop." ”"Hmph" Sasaki couldn't help but snort coldly, although this sound made Sasaki very uncomfortable, but he had to admit that it was true.But if he retreated, Sasaki was really a little unwilling in his heart, so he began to hesitate.aa2705221:
