"It is reported that the Japanese army whose commander was surrounded has all been surrounded and annihilated, and the commander of the Japanese Fourth Division, Lieutenant General Kitano Kenzo, committed suicide by cutting his abdomen, and his body has been found.""
Report to the commander, the Japanese army has been routed by our army, and the main force of our army is following and killing, and it is going straight to Niangzi Pass."
Li Guotao continued to receive good news from the front, he was in a good mood, his face was full of joy after the victory, and he said excitedly: "Immediately order all troops to continue to pursue the Japanese rout, and the soldiers are approaching Niangzi Pass." ”"Yes," a soldier of the Eighth Route Army replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.Li Guotao said with an excited smile: "Today's battle can be described as a complete victory, not only eliminated the 37th Wing and the 61st Wing of the Japanese Army, but also wiped out the 70th Wing and its divisions and directly subordinate troops, and annihilated more than 15,000 Japanese troops, which can be described as a complete victory" Ma Zhenguo next to him was also full of excited smiles, nodded and said: "At present, there is only one Eighth Wing left in Niangzi Pass plus some divisions and directly subordinate troops, and the total strength is only about 5,000 at most.
In this way, we can take advantage of the victory to take the Niangzi Pass and destroy the fourth division in one fell swoop. ”Li Guotao nodded, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said with a smile: "It seems that today is not good, we can only wait until tomorrow, and the soldiers are tired after a day of fierce fighting, so it is time to take a good rest."
The most important thing is that in the battle of attacking Niangzi Pass, we still need to discuss it with the Taiyue Military Region. ”As soon as Li Guotao said this, Political Commissar Meng walked over from behind with a smile and said: "You and Commander Chen want to go together, Commander Chen has just sent a telegram, proposing to hold an emergency meeting tonight, so that our seventh column and their senior generals of the Taiyue Military Region can participate, and discuss the next strategic deployment together. ”"Well, I don't have an opinion, just do what Commander Chen said," Li Guotao nodded and said.On the Japanese position at Niangzi Pass, Major General Kitahara held a telescope and saw a large number of devil soldiers defeated, and fled towards the pass in a panic.And behind the rout of these devils, a large number of Eighth Route Army is following, and Major General Kitahara even wants to directly order the troops to shoot and kill all these wastes, but in the end he endures it.There were about three or four hundred fast devil soldiers who ran back to Niangzi Pass first, and there were more than a hundred little devils outside the pass, and the Eighth Route Army behind did not stop pursuing, as if they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to break through the pass in one fell swoop.Major General Kitahara is not stupid, he wants to let these eight roads rush into the pass, and the consequences are unimaginable, so he gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "Shoot quickly, shoot quickly, shoot quickly" "Your Excellency General, there are still imperial soldiers outside the pass who have not returned." ”A devil officer next to him hurriedly reminded."
Yaga, I'll let you shoot immediately, it's an order," Major General Kitahara grabbed the devil officer's collar and yelled loudly."
Hai" The devil officer didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly responded respectfully.The dull sound of gunfire suddenly rang out, and the devil's position suddenly erupted one after another blazing tongues of fire, and the dense bullets formed an impenetrable rain of bullets, shooting towards the outside of the pass.The first to bear the brunt were the little devils who had not yet fled back, and a terrible scream sounded, and more than a hundred little devils were all swept to the ground in less than a minute, and they went directly to report to their Amaterasu."
Stop pursuing" the Japanese army to open fire, Su Xiufeng hurriedly ordered the troops to stop the pursuit, the order was forbidden, and the soldiers stopped one after another, lying on the ground, dodging the oncoming bullet rain.Su Xiufeng observed that the devil's firepower was too fierce, and it was almost impossible to break through the barrier in one fell swoop, so without any hesitation, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat and withdraw beyond the range of the devil.Major General Kitahara couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the Eighth Route Army had finally retreated, and asked loudly with an angry face: "Where is that group of waste now." ”"Report to Your Excellency, the defeated Imperial soldiers have been taken into custody, and they are in the open space over there."
A devil officer next to him hurriedly replied."
Hmph" Major General Kitahara snorted coldly, turned around and walked in the direction of the devil officer's finger with his saber on his shoulder.The three or four hundred little devils who escaped by luck were directly disarmed as soon as they entered the customs and were placed under centralized custody.Major General Kitahara looked at this group of defeated soldiers standing in front of him, one by one dejected, and he was angry.Glancing through the crowd, he found a devil officer standing at the front of the line, who turned out to be still a captain.Major General Kitahara walked over angrily, pulled out the devil captain, glared at him fiercely and asked loudly: "You drop to tell me, what happened" "Hai Hai Hai" The devil captain was obviously frightened, buried his head lower, didn't dare to look at Major General Kitahara at all, and said tremblingly: "Report to Your Excellency General, I followed the troops to prepare to receive His Excellency the division commander to withdraw to Niangzi Pass, but just less than ten miles out of the pass, it was stubbornly blocked by the Tubalu, although the imperial army fought desperately, But it was never possible to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, and when the fierce battle was in full swing, a large number of the Eighth Route Army in the east suddenly rushed over, and the mountains and fields were full of Tu Balu, and its troops were at least tens of thousands of people, and the Tu Balu was too much, and the imperial army was defeated and retreated. ”"Baga waste, all of them are rice buckets."
Major General Kitahara scolded angrily and pushed the devil captain to the ground.Although Major General Kitahara was very angry, he knew very well in his heart that now the Japanese Fourth Division had suffered heavy losses, and only a few thousand people were left in Niangzi Pass, and the top priority was to find a way to keep Niangzi Pass, otherwise the entire Fourth Division would be finished."
Immediately send a telegram to His Excellency Commander Tada, report the current situation truthfully to His Excellency the Commander, and request His Excellency the Commander to immediately send troops to support Niangzi Pass."
Major General Kitahara said helplessly.A devil officer next to "Hai" responded respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.After a while, the adjutant standing next to him stepped forward and cautiously asked, "Your Excellency General, how to deal with these routs According to the usual practice, these people who escaped from the battle should be sent to a military court for trial." ”Major General Kitahara turned around and glanced at the devils, and casually ordered, "Let's take care of them all first," and turned around and walked towards his headquarters.aa2705221:
