In the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Changchun, Umezu Mijiro and a few little devil officers were surrounding a huge sand table, studying the current battle situation.Since yesterday morning, this old devil has been staying in the command hall without rest, and he didn't sleep all night last night.At this time, the old devil looked tired, and the eyes of the two dogs were bloodshot.At this time, a devil officer hurriedly walked over and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, Lieutenant General Kasahara, the commander of the 12th Division, has just sent a farewell telegram" "Nani" Umezu Mijiro couldn't help but exclaim, his face full of disbelief.The devil officer cautiously said: "Your Excellency Commander, the 12th Division sent a farewell telegram, I'm afraid that the 12th Division has all been shattered at this time" Umezu Mijiro was stunned, and finally believed that his ears were not mistaken, in fact, last night, this old devil had already learned the news that the 12th Division was defeated, but after all, the 12th Division still had thousands of people, and it was completely wiped out in such a short period of time, and Umezu Mijiro still couldn't accept this cruel fact."
Yaga Yalu" Umezu Mijiro gritted his teeth and slowly spit out a few words, and under the anger, he was angry, and he was angry, and the old devil only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he lost consciousness."
Your Excellency Commander" A few little devils next to him exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly helped Umezu Mijiro, who almost fell to the ground, and the scene was suddenly panicked."
Call the military doctor," a ghost officer hurriedly shouted.Another little devil hurriedly stretched out his hand and pinched Umezu Mijiro's human acupoint, and after a while.Umezu Mijiro finally regained a trace of consciousness, slowly opened his eyelids, but his body was still very weak, and he said weakly: "The 23rd Division is over, the 12th Division is also over, the Eighth Division must not have any more accidents, mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized, rush to the aid of the Eighth Division, and must keep the Eighth Division no matter what." ”"Hai asks Your Excellency the Commander to rest assured that he will definitely go all out to rescue the Eighth Division."
The chief of staff hurriedly assured.Then he waved his hand and instructed the few little devils next to him: "Help Your Excellency the Commander to the lounge to rest first" The little devils of "Hai" responded respectfully, and hurriedly helped the weak Umezu Mijiro to walk towards the lounge.As the saying goes, a few families are happy and a few are sad, not long after Umezu Mijiro received this farewell telegram, Li Guotao also received a telegram from Li Changsheng.Li Guotao took the telegram in his hand and said excitedly: "It's so good to inform Li Changsheng immediately, let them hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and then transfer a brigade from the new Fourth Division to stay behind, and the rest of the troops immediately rushed to Chifeng." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and hurriedly ordered someone to convey the order.Political Commissar Lu smiled and nodded and said: "Now that the 12th Division has been solved by us, and the 8th Division, which has suffered heavy losses, has also been besieged by us in Chifeng, as long as this 8th Division is eliminated and Chifeng is taken, our battle at this stage will be regarded as a complete victory." ”Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "This is the first battle of our army's march into the northeast, and it is also a crucial battle.However, the little devil will not give up easily, we must end this campaign as soon as possible, and then enter the northeast, lay down a base as soon as possible, gain a firm foothold in the northeast, and then slowly deal with the little devil. ”"Hmm" Political Commissar Lu nodded and said: "What you said is good, but this Eighth Division is also tenacious, the troops have launched a general attack, and after fighting for so long, they have never been able to open a gap."
This Eighth Division is worthy of being a standing division, and it is really a hard bone" Li Guotao said with a firm face: "In fact, the combat effectiveness of this Eighth Division may not be stronger than that of the 12th Division, and it is somewhat lucky that we can defeat the 12th Division so easily."
If it weren't for Kasahara Yukio's greed for merit, our army would have launched a general attack while they crossed the river, and they might not have been able to defeat them so easily, and it would have been impossible to annihilate them completely.And this Eighth Division is different, they are well prepared, and they have complete fortifications as support, so it can be said that they are waiting for work at ease, so although our army occupies an absolute advantage, it will not be able to take Chifeng for a while.But no matter how hard the bones of the Eighth Division are, we will smash him to pieces this time. ”After Li Guotao finished speaking, he picked up the helmet on the table and said with a smile: "Since the 12th Division has been annihilated, and now it can be said that the overall situation has been decided, then I am relieved."
The headquarters will be handed over to you, and I will personally go to the front to see the situation. ”"You're going to the front line," Ma Zhenguo asked with a frown."
What's wrong, can't you?"
asked Li Guotao with a smile."
I know I can't stop you, but I have to be safe."
Political Commissar Lu nodded with a smile and said.Li Guotao laughed and said proudly: "Don't worry, the bullets that can kill me in this world haven't been made yet, anyway, the little devil doesn't have the ability to make such bullets." ”After speaking, he walked out of the headquarters with the guards laughing.Political Commissar Lu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This stinky boy is now the commander of the big column, and this character has not changed at all, it is still the same." ”Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "He said it himself, this can't be changed by a dog." ”"Haha" both of them laughed at the same time.Li Guotao's headquarters was not far from the front line, and soon Li Guotao rushed to a forward observation post, raised his binoculars and observed the battlefield filled with gunpowder in the distance.At this time, the battle had reached the most fierce moment, and Yang Xuecheng personally led the armored cluster of the armored division to Chifeng and directly threw himself into the battle.Li Guotao looked around and saw that outside the west gate of Chifeng, dozens of tanks and armored vehicles had gathered, constantly strafing and shelling the little devils on the city wall, suppressing the devils' firepower, and covering the infantry charge.At this time, the western city wall had been blown down in several places by the fierce artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, and a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army gathered outside the city and continued to launch fierce attacks on Chifeng City again and again.The offensive of the Eighth Route Army, like a surging tide, constantly slapped the Japanese defense line, and the battle went on to this moment, the Japanese army in the city suffered heavy losses, and the entire defense line was already in danger, and it was possible to be broken through by the Eighth Route Army at any time.Seeing this scene, Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction.aa2705221:
