In the headquarters of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, Li Guotao looked at the sand table in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to think about something.At this time, Ma Zhenguo held a telegram in his hand, and hurriedly walked over, his face was filled with a trace of joy, and he said excitedly: "Commander, I just received news from the front line that the Japanese army is currently gathering troops in the area of Baifang Village, and it seems that it wants to break through to the south. ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded, and said with a serious face: "Great, everything is developing in our favor, this time these little devils are unable to escape." ”"Hmm" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "Now it's time for us to act" "Hehe" Li Guotao smiled, and then ordered with a serious face: "Immediately pass the order, order the newly formed 1st Brigade and the regiments of the 120th Division to launch an attack on the area around Shaling Village, and then cross the Sanggan River to continue to pursue the inescapable Japanese invaders."
The new 2nd Brigade was ordered to immediately pursue the Japanese invaders, and the 1st Brigade and other units of the new Brigade were ordered to continue to pursue the Japanese invaders.The newly formed 4th Brigade was ordered to immediately cross the Sanggan River and launch an attack in the direction of Baifang Village.The newly formed 3rd Brigade was ordered to immediately launch a counteroffensive against the enemy in front of it, and after defeating the Japanese army, it continued to pursue the Japanese army in the southwest direction.As soon as the order was given, the units began to operate. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and hurriedly turned around and walked in the direction of the confidential room.With Li Guotao's order, the seventh column of our Eighth Route Army and the 120th Division, totaling more than 40,000 people, immediately launched a fierce attack on the little devils.At this time, in the headquarters of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in Baifang Village, there was a busy scene, and the little devils were busy packing up their things and preparing to retreat.At the door of the confidential room, several little devil officers were surrounding a brazier, burning some documents that were not necessary to take away.Jutaro stood at the door with a gloomy face, his face as ugly as his dead father, his brows furrowed, and he looked up at the sky to the north, as if he was thinking about something.At this time, a devil officer hurriedly walked over and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, according to the report from the front, the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched an attack on the imperial army on all fronts.Among them, the newly formed Fourth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in Pangjiabao had already crossed the Sanggan River and went straight to Baifang Village, according to which it was less than ten miles. ”"Yaga Yalu" Gansu Jutaro couldn't help but scold angrily, and then ordered with a serious face: "Inform the blocking troops to block the counterattack of the Chinese people, and order the troops to speed up and retreat south" The devil officer of "Hai" responded respectfully, and hurriedly turned around to convey the order.Subsequently, under the order of Gansu Shigetaro, the headquarters of the 33rd Division, along with the main force of the devils, hastily withdrew from Baifang Village and fled all the way south.In the evening of the same day, the newly formed Fourth Brigade and other units arrived at Baifang Village one after another, and captured Baifang Village in one fell swoop, leaving hundreds of little devils who were left behind to be annihilated.Yang Erhu, the commander of the newly formed Fourth Brigade, walked into Baifang Village with corpses all over the ground, and at this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over and said with a respectful face: "Report to the brigade commander, all the little devils in the village have been annihilated, and no one has escaped the net." ”"Very good," Yang Erhu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Immediately report the news of our unit's capture of Baifang Village to the commander."
In addition, the troops were immediately ordered to continue the pursuit of the Japanese army to the south. ”"Yes," the Eighth Route Army soldier replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.Yang Erhu looked up at the sky to the south, the sky was dotted with stars, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer: "Yamada Saburo, I let you escape last time, this time I'll see where you can escape" Before that, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade was ordered to go north to support Shuozhou, and it was the new 4th Brigade led by Yang Erhu who was responsible for blocking it, so it was not the first time that the 4th Independent Brigade fought with this independent 3rd Mixed Brigade.After the Eighth Route Army launched a counteroffensive on all fronts, Li Guotao also left Happy Village with his headquarters and followed the newly formed Second Brigade and other units to pursue and kill the defeated Japanese army.At this time, Li Guotao and others had already rushed to the bank of the Sanggan River and were about to cross the river, Li Guotao stood by the river, watching his troops cross the Sanggan River one by one, and could not help but be full of pride, even Li Guotao himself did not expect that in just a few years, the Eighth Route Army would grow and grow to such an extent that it had the ability to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army in local areas and achieve victory.Just when Li Guotao was sighing with emotion, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over and said loudly with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, I have just received a telegram from the newly formed Fourth Brigade that our army has successfully captured Baifang Village, and the Japanese army is continuing to rout to the south. ”"Very good" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Inform all units to speed up and go all out to pursue and annihilate the Japanese army." ”"Yes," the Eighth Route Army soldier replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.At this time, Kou Erbao rushed over and said excitedly: "Report to the commander, the engineer regiment has built a pontoon bridge, and we can cross the river now." ”"Great," Li Guotao nodded and said, "After the pontoon bridge is built, the speed of our crossing of the river can also be increased a lot."
Let's cross the river," he said, raising his legs and walking towards the pontoon bridge not far away.In the darkness, a group of little devils were routing south along a rugged mountain path, and these little devils were in a hurry to flee for their lives, showing their embarrassment.When the little devil came to a fork in the road, a Japanese army suddenly ran from another direction.At this time, a devil officer asked loudly: "What part of the work do you drop?"
"We work in the third brigade." ”Immediately, a man on the other side replied.At this time, the devil officer couldn't help frowning, and said with a puzzled expression: "Isn't the third brigade in charge of breaking off, why did you come to the front of us, you shameful deserters." ”At this time, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and it was only a dozen meters away, and at this time, the person on the opposite side suddenly shouted loudly in Chinese: "We are the Eighth Route Army, let's die for the little devils" With this shout, the Eighth Route Army, disguised as the Japanese army, suddenly scattered, and at the same time raised the gun in his hand and decisively pulled the trigger on those little devils.The crisp sound of gunfire suddenly rang out, and the dense bullets shrouded the group of little devils like splashing water, but before the poor little devils could react, they fell under the rain of bullets of our army in pieces.aa2705221:
