Outside Chifeng City, in the front line headquarters of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, the sun shone through the gate on Li Guotao's face lying on the table, feeling warm and itchy.Li Guotao slowly opened his eyes and found that it was already dawn, Li Guotao was too sleepy last night, and refused to go back to rest, and fell asleep on the table unconsciously.Li Guotao stood up, stretched his waist, there were still a few bloodshots in his eyes, took out a cigarette casually, lit it in his mouth, and wanted to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself."
Yo wake up" Political Commissar Lu walked in from outside the door, and greeted Li Guotao with a smile after seeing him.Li Guotao nodded, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, it was already more than seven o'clock in the morning, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I've been sleeping for three or four hours this night, why don't I feel like I haven't slept enough, right, what's the situation now." ”"Everything works."
Commander Lu said with a smile."
Can't you say the specifics," Li Guotao asked with some dissatisfaction.At this time, Ma Zhenguo walked out of the confidential room and said with a smile: "Let me report to the chief of staff, in terms of the paddock, our army has successfully recovered the paddock, and the 23rd Division of the Japanese army has been completely annihilated by our army."
Deputy Political Commissar Meng sent a telegram saying that by this afternoon at the latest, the main force of the newly formed Third Division would come from the direction of the paddock to support us, and Commander Song would also send about two divisions to support our unit. ”"I know that."
Li Guotao nodded with a smile and said, "What I want to know more now is the situation of the 12th Division of the Japanese Army. ”"Don't worry, listen to me slowly" Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "The 12th Division has been completely defeated by our army last night, of course, you also know this, by this morning, the Japanese army fled all the way to the vicinity of Xiawanzi, and the back road was cut off by the first brigade of the armored division and other departments, and there was no way to retreat, so the little devil occupied a few hills near Xiawanzi, and it seemed that he was going to hold on to wait for reinforcements" "Xiawanzi" Li Guotao muttered a sentence in his mouth, and walked quickly to the huge map hanging on the wall, Looking at the map in front of him with a serious face, he thought about it and said, "Notify the armored division and the new 4th Division to eliminate the remnants of the 12th Division as soon as possible." ”"Hmm" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "According to the reports of Deputy Commander Yang and Deputy Commander Li, at present, there are only about 3,000 people left in the remnants of the Japanese army, trapped in a few lonely mountains, and our army has surrounded them and is ready to attack, and should be able to annihilate this remnant enemy soon." ”"It's good that the 12th Division has been defeated, and now we can attack Chifeng with all our strength and strive to take Chifeng as soon as possible."
Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said.Political Commissar Lu said with a smile: "After yesterday's battle, the remnants of the Japanese Eighth Division have all shrunk into Chifeng City, and the enemy outside the city has been wiped out by our army, and now the 12th Division has also been defeated, and its destruction is imminent, I think the time is ripe to launch a general attack on Chifeng, and it is time to launch a comprehensive general attack on Chifeng." ”"Hmm," Li Guotao nodded slightly.At this time, Ma Zhenguo suddenly said: "Don't worry, the two chiefs, I have another news here that is not too good, I don't know if you want to listen to it" Li Guotao was slightly stunned, frowned and asked: "What news" Ma Zhenguo said seriously: "I just received the latest information, the 24th Division of the Japanese Army has set off from Tonghua and went straight to Chifeng, in addition to the Japanese army, a division of the Imperial Association Army stationed in Tonghua is about 10,000 people, and it also rushed with the 24th Division to support Chifeng, according to the distance, It is estimated that this little devil should rush to Chifeng tomorrow.In addition, the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army in the direction of Shenyang and Changchun are also actively mobilized, which seems to have the intention of supporting Chifeng in a big way. ”Li Guotao nodded slightly and said: "The efficiency of the little devil is quite high, but just one 24th division, even if we add a division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, our seventh column will not be taken seriously, if they come to die, then we don't mind sending them to hell together." ”"Hmm" Commander Lu nodded and said: "Since this little devil will only arrive tomorrow, we don't have to worry about it for the time being, the new third division will be able to rush to Chifeng in the afternoon, and they can completely stop this little devil." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said: "Not only that, how long can the 12th Division hold out with a few thousand remnants left, and when the 12th Division is annihilated, our armored division and the new Fourth Division can also be freed up, and when the time comes, they can not only continue to bear the task of blocking the enemy's reinforcements, but also allow them to assist our army in attacking Chifeng." ”Li Guotao paused when he said this, stared at Chifeng on the map for a while, and said with a sneer: "At this time, the Eighth Division has also been heavily damaged by our army, and only a group of remnants of the army are left to retreat in the city. ”Commander Lu nodded and said: "Not only that, the armored group of the armored division, after defeating the 12th Division of the Japanese army, did not cross the Laoha River, but rested on the west bank of the Laoha River for a few hours, and now it can also be transferred to Chifeng to participate in siege operations.With the cooperation of so many combat vehicles, it can also greatly improve our army's ability to attack fortifications, and there should be no problem in taking Chifeng in one day. ”Li Guotao said with a smile: "In this case, immediately order all troops on the front line to launch a comprehensive general attack on Chifeng City, and strive to take the Eighth Division of Chifeng in one fell swoop." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and went to convey the order in person.Li Guotao walked to the door, looked up at Chifeng City in the distance, and said with a serious face: "A few years ago, the Japanese army attacked Rehe on a large scale, it was this eighth division, with only one cavalry squadron, one hundred and twenty-eight cavalry easily took Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province, for us Chinese soldiers, for every Chinese, this is a great shame In the past few years, the eighth division of the Japanese army has always been stationed in the northeast, and the hands of these beasts are stained with the blood of our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians and innocent compatriots, And today is the time for these beasts to pay their blood debts and blood debts" At this moment, on the artillery position of our army in the distance, there was a sudden rumbling of cannons, and the sound of artillery rumbled, penetrating through the nine clouds, like the cry of the Chinese people who asked the Japanese to repay their blood debts."
Boom" dense shells continued to fall on the devil's city fortifications, and immediately sounded a series of violent explosions, artillery fire, gunpowder smoke instantly enveloped the Japanese army's city defense position, the Eighth Route Army's general attack on Chifeng City began aa2705221:
