Then the devil launched a more fierce attack, but under the stubborn resistance of our army, the little devil finally failed to break through the defense line of our army, and was forced to temporarily stop the attack and retreat to his own defense line.After dawn, a large number of reinforcements from the devils arrived one after another.Yang Erhu stood on the top of a mountain, holding a telescope and looking into the distance, Yang Erhu couldn't help frowning, and said with a worried face: "The strength of the little devil has exceeded the strength of two wings, it seems that the devil who came this time is estimated to have the strength of a division." ”Next to "a division", a soldier of the Eighth Route Army couldn't help but gasp."
Hmph, isn't it just a division" Yang Erhu snorted coldly and said: "As long as our newly formed Fourth Brigade is here, let alone a division, even ten divisions, I don't want to pass from here." ”"We are not afraid of any more little devils," someone immediately echoed loudly.Yang Erhu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's dawn, it is estimated that the little devil will launch a new round of attack soon, and this time it will definitely be more violent."
This is destined to be a bloody battle, but no matter what, we must also stop the little devils.Immediately notify all the troops on the front line to block the attack of the devils at all costs. ”"Yes" A soldier of the Eighth Route Army next to him responded respectfully, turned around and ran to convey the order.Yang Erhu turned around and glanced at the west, sighed slightly and said to himself: "I don't know, what is the situation in Chengde now." ”"Kill" In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, hundreds of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed into the Rehe Provincial Government building with a loud roar.After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the last stronghold of the Japanese army in Chengde City was also occupied by the Eighth Route Army.At this point, the battle in Chengde City was basically over, although there were still some remnants of the Japanese puppet army in the city, hiding in the city and continuing to resist, but it was no longer a threat to the Eighth Route Army.On the wall of "Long live Long live", the red flag was unfurled, and a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army waved the weapons in their hands and shouted victory loudly.Li Guotao and a cadre of the headquarters rode horses and stepped on the morning sun, and slowly walked into Chengde City.At this time, the city of Chengde also became a sea of joy, and the local residents learned that the Eighth Route Army had eliminated the Japanese puppet army in the city and recovered the city of Chengde, and they also poured into the streets to celebrate this hard-won victory with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.Through the excited crowd, Li Guotao came to the temporary headquarters in Chengde City, and the staff officers of the headquarters were still hurrying up and packing up their things.Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "The remnants of the enemy in the city have been basically wiped out, and Chengde has been recovered by our army. ”"Immediately report this news to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and inform the world of the brilliant victory of our Eighth Route Army in Rehe."
Li Guotao said with a smile."
I'm going to send someone to do it right away."
Ma Zhenguo nodded and said.Li Guotao took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, his expression suddenly became serious, and he sighed softly and said: "Although our army has successfully recovered Chengde, the battle is far from over.The strength of the Japanese army in Pingquan has exceeded that of two wings, and the follow-up reinforcements of the devils are still coming in a steady stream.To the north, the Japanese army had also gathered a division in the Chifeng area, and was now almost reaching the paddock.Therefore, the recovery of Chengde is only the beginning, we still have to defend Chengde, and we must not let this thousand-year-old city fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders again. ”"The commander is right, in addition to these two directions, within the Great Wall, there are also the forces of a division and a brigade of the Japanese army, which are launching an attack on Xifengkou and Lengkou.Moreover, the North China Dispatch Army is also actively mobilizing troops to support Rehe.Therefore, it is easy to conquer Chengde, but if we want to occupy it for a long time, it is even more difficult to hold Chengde, which is a big challenge for us," Commissar Meng said.Ma Zhenguo frowned and said with a serious face: "Xifengkou and Lengkou are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are complete fortifications, so they should be safe in a short time."
Moreover, the newly formed 3rd Brigade has already gone to support, and it should be able to block the counterattack of the devils. ”Li Guotao nodded and said, "Zhenguo is right, the most troublesome thing now is Pingquan and the paddock in the north.I plan to have the Ninth Column go north to capture Longhua, and then go north to support the Eighth Column in the paddock.As for the direction of Pingquan, only the newly formed Fourth Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade may be difficult to resist the counterattack of the devils, so we can order the main forces of the new 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade of the new column to immediately go to support, let's concentrate our forces and fight back the little devils along the way.As for Chengde City, it can be temporarily handed over to the Pingxi Military Region of Commander Song to stabilize order and repair fortifications in case of accidents. ”Political Commissar Meng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Guotao's plan is feasible, I think it will be done." ”"It's just that the troops have been fighting repeatedly, and the soldiers are already exhausted, so it's better to let the soldiers rest first."
Ma Zhenguo said with a frown.Li Guotao took a puff of cigarette, spit out a puff of white mist in his mouth, shook his head and said, "I also want the soldiers to have a good rest, but the little devil won't give us this time."
The Japanese army in the direction of Pingquan is still continuing to increase its troops, and it is estimated that there must be a division of troops, and it is difficult to resist with the new Fourth Brigade and Cavalry Brigade alone.At this critical moment, we can only try to overcome all difficulties and repel the counterattack of the devils. ”Li Guotao sighed deeply and said: "Immediately send an order, order the main force of the new 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade to go to Pingquan immediately."
Inform Yang Erhu that he must block the counterattack of the Japanese at all costs. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and immediately ordered someone to convey the order.Li Guotao looked around at the bad situation in the headquarters, and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that we don't have this life, we can only live in this place for a day, and the headquarters will immediately move to Pingquan early tomorrow morning."
The Japanese Kwantung Army is known as the elite of the elite, this time let's have a good competition with them, I want to see how powerful this Kwantung Army is. ”"Haha commander, have you forgotten that we have fought with the Kwantung Army several times, and it turns out that this Kwantung Army is nothing more than that" Ma Zhenguo said with a laugh.Li Guotao said with a smile: "You can't say that, this time is different, this is the first time we have faced the Kwantung Army with more than one division, it's different from before" aa2705221:
