Under the fierce attack of the new Third Brigade and the Eastern Hebei Army Division, the little devils of the 21st Independent Mixed Brigade always thought that they were encountering the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and according to the order of Lu Yuanyi, they originally planned to break through in the direction of Zhoujiapu, but they were entangled by the Eighth Route Army and could not get out for a while.These little devils were still holding out hope, hoping that the main force of the 28th Division would come to save them, so they continued to ask for help from Yu Yuanyi, but at that time, Lu Yuanyi was fleeing in embarrassment with the remnants of his soldiers, and he couldn't be contacted at all.has never been able to contact Lu Yuanyi, the little devil panicked, knowing that he can't rely on anyone, and he can only rely on himself at the critical moment.So the little devils began to concentrate their forces to break through with all their might, but it was too late at this time.After the main force of the Eighth Route Army captured Zhoujiapu, it immediately moved south to surround the remnants of the 21st Independent Mixed Brigade, and then launched a final general attack.The 21st Independent Mixed Brigade originally had only more than 7,000 people, but now it is nearly half, and in the face of the onslaught of tens of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army, the result can be imagined, in less than two hours, the remnants of the Japanese army were wiped out.At this time, the sun slowly rose over the horizon, and the battle that had lasted all night finally stopped, and only the smoke and corpses everywhere proved how tragic yesterday's battle was.A staff officer held a document in his hand, walked quickly to Li Guotao, and said with a serious face: "Report commander, the results of yesterday's battle have been basically counted, the 28th Division of the Japanese Army was almost completely annihilated by our army, only about two or three thousand people fled back to Jixian County, and the 21st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army was surrounded and annihilated by our army, according to rough statistics, our army has annihilated more than 20,000 Japanese troops in this battle. ”Li Guotao took a puff of cigarette, spit out a puff of white mist in his mouth, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, in this way, the main force of the Japanese army on the Western Front has basically been completely annihilated by our army, and it is no longer a threat to us."
Even if Gangcun Ningji sent troops to support again, it would be impossible to arrive in two or three days.Immediately notify all troops, seize the time to clean up the battlefield, and then rush to Tangshan in batches. ”"Yes," the staff officer replied respectfully, turning and running to deliver the order.Li Guotao frowned slightly, turned to Kou Erbao next to him and ordered, "Give me the chief of staff." ”"Yes" Kou Erbao replied respectfully, and quickly shook the phone.As soon as the phone was connected, Li Guotao heard a faint explosion from the opposite side, and couldn't help frowning and asked: "Zhenguo, how is the situation over there, have the little devils entered the city?"
Ma Zhenguo was obviously stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "The little devils want to enter the city, but they don't have the ability yet."
It was the devil's plane, and it was bombing the urban area of Tangshan again.As for the little devils of the 27th Division, they stopped attacking before dawn, and began to retreat Commander, should we pursue" Li Guotao hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't pursue rashly for the time being, it's good that the little devils retreat, our top priority now is to hold Tangshan City."
Although we have defeated the Japanese army on the Western Front, we are not yet capable of launching a counteroffensive against the 27th Division, and since they have known each other and temporarily retreated, then we can leave them alone for the time being.The front-line troops can be notified to pay close attention to the movements of the devils. ”"I see."
Ma Zhenguo nodded and said."
Well, then I will order all the new Fourth Brigade to return to Tangshan, and the troops directly under the armored battalion column will also rush to Tangshan to assist you in defending Tangshan City."
Li Guotao said with a serious face."
Okay, please rest assured, the commander is in good shape in Tangshan City now, and the new defeat of the Japanese army is not capable of counterattacking Tangshan at all, at most it is just a retaliatory bombing, and we can deal with it."
Ma Zhenguo said with a smile."
Then I'll be relieved."
After Li Guotao finished speaking, he hung up the phone.As he spoke, the cigarette in his hand was already finished, and Li Guotao casually threw the cigarette butt to the ground and looked at the map with his head down.Li Guotao frowned and thought for a while, and then ordered: "Immediately pass the order, order the new Seventh Regiment of the Fourth Brigade, the armored battalion, the cavalry brigade and other units to rush to Tangshan immediately."
The new 3rd Brigade and the 5th Brigade were ordered to rush to Zunhua after a short rest.The newly formed 1st Brigade and all units of the Eastern Hebei Army Division temporarily stayed in Yutian. ”"Yes" A staff officer next to him quickly recorded Li Guotao's order, and then turned around to convey the order.Li Guotao stretched, yawned and said, "The battle is over, I can finally sleep" turned around and glanced at Kou Erbao, and casually ordered: "If there is anything urgent, remember to inform me in time, and I will go back to make up for sleep first." ”As he spoke, he turned and walked out."
Yes," Kou Erbao replied respectfully."
Bang" Gangcun Ningci clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, a trace of anger appeared on his face, Gangcun Ningci had a calm heart and had rarely been angry, but this time he couldn't help but be angry."
Tens of thousands of imperial troops were wiped out by a group of people overnight, which is simply an unprecedented shame."
Gangcun Ningci gritted his teeth and scolded loudly."
Your Excellency the Commander, the Imperial Army's defeat this time was purely accidental," Hirata Masashi hurriedly persuaded him."
Accident" Gangcun Ningci couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said with an angry face: "If it's once or twice, it can be interpreted as an accident, it's like this every time, is it all an accident, defeat is defeat, don't we even have the courage to admit defeat Bang" said Gangcun Ningci slammed it on the table again."
Hai is humble and disgraced, and I hope that His Excellency the Commander will forgive his sins."
Hirata quickly bowed his head and pleaded guilty."
Hmph" Gangcun Ningci snorted coldly and stopped talking.Hirata Masatsu raised his head and observed Okamura Ninji, and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, Commander, although the imperial army has been defeated this time, it is not without room for recovery, as long as the imperial army mobilizes enough troops to launch a counteroffensive, it will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory." ”Gangmura Ningji couldn't help but glance at Hirata Masa, and snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, what you said is light."
The war in Henan is not over, and so far the imperial army has not captured Luoyang, and half of the imperial army is being held back on the battlefield in Henan.In addition, the Chinese army still has a million troops from Taihang Mountain to Chahar, although there seems to be no sign of a large-scale counterattack on Hebei at present, but the imperial army also has to be defended, so where does the imperial army still have extra troops to support the eastern Hebei battlefield. ”Gangcun Ningci is now also a clever woman who has no rice to cook, and he is simply unable to mobilize enough troops to support the eastern Hebei region.aa2705221:
