"Kill" The heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army roared loudly, the flames of revenge burned in their hearts, and they rushed towards the position of the devil and killed them.The smoke of gunpowder was filled, the guns and cannons were fired, and the battle entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning.The heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, like a tide, rushed towards Chengde City overwhelmingly.In order to save the city and save his little life, the little devil can only resist desperately.After all, Chengde is a provincial city, the little devil has been operating here for many years, all kinds of fortifications are very perfect, coupled with the natural geographical advantages of Chengde City surrounded by mountains, it has caused a lot of trouble to our army's attack.Despite the difficulties, our army did not give up and continued to launch onslaught.In order to cover the attack of the ground troops, all the air units of the Eighth Route Army were also dispatched, but the main task of the air force was only to intercept the Japanese fighters and prevent the Japanese fighters from bombing our ground forces.After many efforts, the air force of the Eighth Route Army received a batch of foreign aid, plus the planes captured in previous battles, and its strength increased greatly.At present, it has more than 40 combat aircraft of various types, more than half of which are fighters.This time, more than 20 fighters of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Regiment all rushed to Chengde to participate in the battle, and launched a fierce air battle with the Japanese army over Chengde, shooting down 15 Japanese fighters and damaging more than 10 of them.However, the Eighth Route Army also suffered considerable losses, with seven fighters shot down and several wounded.Such a record is already quite a remarkable record for an air force that has just been established for half a year.Li Guotao stood on a hillside, saw that one of his own planes was damaged, and the tail fin was emitting a puff of smoke, and quickly flew away from the battlefield in the distance, and couldn't help frowning and said: "Our air force is relatively weak, and we can't afford to fight with the little devils" Ma Zhenguo, who was standing next to him, nodded and said: "We have lost several fighters successively, if we continue to fight like this, the loss will be even greater, we only have such a little family foundation, and now that we have fought out, we will not have to fight in the future." ”Li Guotao frowned and nodded, and said: "Brothers of the Air Force, we have blocked the devil's plane for us with our lives, if we can't capture Chengde as soon as possible, how can we be worthy of them."
Inform all units on the front line to intensify the offensive and to break through the fortifications of Chengde as soon as possible. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and went to convey the order.The fierce battle lasted until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and the Eighth Route Army finally made a breakthrough, and the newly formed First Brigade took the lead in opening a gap from the east city, and hundreds of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army successfully poured into the city.After Li Guotao got the news, he was extremely excited, and said excitedly: "Immediately order the troops who have entered the city to be firmly nailed into the city like a nail, and order the follow-up troops to immediately enter the city to support, and take this opportunity to break through Chengde City in one fell swoop." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and hurriedly ordered someone to convey the order.Li Guotao finally showed a rare smile on his face, turned to Ma Zhenguo and said: "By the way, how is the battle situation in the direction of Xifengkou and Lengkou?"
"The Japanese offensive is very fierce, but our army is well prepared, relying on the local terrain and fortifications, it can withstand the attack of the devils for the time being." ”Ma Zhenguo hurriedly replied."
The Great Wall defense line is very important to us, and we must make sure that this defense line is foolproof."
Li Guotao said with a serious face."
Don't worry, I've given the defenders a death order to keep the little devil inside the Great Wall at all costs."
Ma Zhenguo nodded and said.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, sighed lightly and said: "The current situation is still quite unfavorable for our army, the North China Dispatch Army and the Kwantung Army are actively sending reinforcements to support, so we must end the battle in Chengde City as soon as possible, only in this way can we organize troops to block the devil's reinforcements and preserve the results of this battle." ”Ma Zhenguo nodded slightly, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly said: "There is another good news, I was about to report to you that the 10,000 troops of the Pingxi Military Region have arrived at Gubeikou and are cooperating with my new Third Brigade and the New Fifth Brigade to attack Gubeikou on both sides.At this time, there is less than one wing left of the little devils in Gubeikou, and under the attack of more than 20,000 troops on both sides, even if the terrain of Gubeikou is dangerous, the little devils will not be able to support it for long. ”"Okay" Li Guotao nodded with a smile and said: "This is indeed good news, inform Lin Feng and Su Xiufeng and the two of them, let them capture Gubeikou as soon as possible, as long as Gubeikou is taken, it will also be a strong support for the battle on the Chengde side." ”Ma Zhenguo nodded and said, "Okay, I will remind them and let them take Gubeikou as soon as possible." ”"Brothers, kill Lao Tzu" Changde roared angrily, and with more than 2,000 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army under his command, like a surging tide, poured into Chengde City from the gap in the city wall.Since there had already been a unit of the Eighth Route Army entering the city before, Changde and they were not hindered too much, and they successfully entered the city.Standing in a piece of broken bricks and tiles, Chang De shouted loudly with his characteristic loud voice: "Zhao Zhu, you take two battalions to attack in the direction of the city gate and seize the east gate as soon as possible."
The rest of the people continued to attack the city with Lao Tzu. ”"Yes" Zhao Zhu responded respectfully, and then shouted loudly: "The first battalion, the second battalion will go with Lao Tzu" said that he took the first battalion and the second battalion and attacked the east gate along the city wall.Changde took the rest of the soldiers and continued to attack the city.With the passage of time, more and more Eighth Route Army poured into the city, Zhao Zhu took two battalions of soldiers, and the Eighth Route Army outside the city should join forces, and captured the east city gate in one fell swoop, and the obstacles blocking the city gate were quickly cleared, and a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers outside the city quickly poured in.At the forefront were dozens of tanks and armored vehicles of the armored battalion, and as soon as the troops entered the city, they did not stop and continued to attack the city along the main street.Although the city fortifications in Dongcheng were broken through, putting the little devil in an extremely dangerous situation, the little devil did not give up resistance, and continued to stubbornly resist the offensive of the Eighth Route Army by using the buildings, houses, and some fortresses built in the city, trying to die and wait for reinforcements to rescue.So a tragic street battle broke out, and the fierce battle lasted until dark, and the Eighth Route Army only captured a small block outside the east city, and the battle entered a stalemate for a while.aa2705221:
