In the end, Hiroshi Nemoto's wish was frustrated, and the Panzer Division broke through the three lines of defense of the Japanese army one after another, successfully detoured back to the rear of the Japanese army from the left flank, and basically surrounded the main force of the Japanese 24th Division.At the same time, Genbo got the news that the cavalry division of the Eighth Route Army also successfully occupied Dongming Town, completely cutting off the retreat of the 24th Division, and the entire 24th Division of more than 20,000 people fell into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.At this time, it had only been two hours since the Eighth Route Army launched a general offensive on the whole front, and now it was just over seven o'clock in the morning, and there were still more than ten hours left before the dark that Nemoto Bo was looking forward to, and if this form continued, would they still be able to hold out for more than ten hours, and even Genbo himself was completely disappointed.Although the form was extremely unfavorable to the Japanese army, Hiroshi did not want to give up, but there was no other good way, so he could only order all troops to hold their positions and block the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and the rest could only hope for the blessing of their bullshit Amaterasu.But this time, their bullshit Amaterasu gave up on them once again.The fierce fighting lasted from morning to noon, and the Japanese 24th Division was finally completely defeated under the siege of tens of thousands of our Eighth Route Army.The Japanese suffered heavy losses, and the remaining Japanese troops were soon divided into several parts and surrounded by the regiments of the Eighth Route Army.In Li Guotao's temporary headquarters, when Li Guotao got the news, he shouted excitedly: "Great" hurriedly walked to the front of the sand table, looked at the sand table in front of him, and asked with a serious face: "How many troops do the little devils have left?"
”"Report to the commander, according to the report from the front, the remnants of the Japanese army are now only about five or six thousand left, which have been divided into three pieces by our army and surrounded."
A staff officer next to him hurriedly replied."
Hmm" Li Guotao nodded slightly, frowned and thought about it, and then said with a serious face: "Immediately notify Deputy Commander Yang Xuecheng and ask their armored division to draw out a brigade of troops and advance in the direction of Tongliao."
In addition, the cavalry division was notified and ordered to set off immediately for Tongliao. ”"Yes," a communications staff officer replied respectfully, turned and ran to deliver the order.Li Guotao continued: "Inform Division Commander Lin Feng and let them continue to strengthen the offensive, and be sure to annihilate all the little devils who are surrounded as soon as possible." ”"Yes" ordered a staff officer to also answer and ran to deliver the order.Li Guotao raised the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, took a puff, spit out a mouthful of white mist in his mouth, and asked with a frown: "The second division of the new formation, where is the position now?"
Li Guotao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Ma Zhenguo walking in hurriedly with several staff officers from the headquarters.Li Guotao smiled and said, "Zhenguo, you came at the right time. ”Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "The political commissar is worried that you won't be able to do it alone, so I specially asked me to bring a group of people to come over and make peace with you first." ”"Great, your kid is here, I can be a little more relaxed here, I knew this way, I should have brought you here directly."
Li Guotao said with a smile."
It's not too late for me to come," Ma Zhenguo said with a smile."
Not too late, of course not too late."
Li Guotao nodded, and then asked urgently: "By the way, where is the main force of the new Second Division now?"
Ma Zhenguo hurriedly replied: "The vanguard of the new Second Division is about one regiment, and it has already arrived with us, and the follow-up troops will arrive one after another, and the artillery division and other units will also rush to the front line of Naiman Banner this afternoon." ”"Okay" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Come at the right time, immediately inform the new Second Division, I'm sorry, they don't have time to rest now, order them to go to the battlefield immediately to participate in the battle, assist the new Third Division and the Armored Division, and clear the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible." ”"Okay, I'll have someone inform them."
Ma Zhenguo nodded and said, and then ordered a staff officer to convey the order.Li Guotao took another puff of cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, and said with a serious face: "Annihilating the 24th Division is only the first step, our ultimate goal is to take the opportunity to capture Tongliao, so we have no time to rest at all, we must race against time, and before the Japanese reinforcements arrive in Tongliao, surround Tongliao and capture Tonghua in one fell swoop."
I know that the troops have traveled a long way and the soldiers have worked very hard, but in order to achieve the final victory, we must overcome all hardships. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "I understand, and the soldiers also understand, although the commander is relieved, the morale of the soldiers is high now, and there is absolutely no problem in taking Tongliao." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said: "Not only the new Second Division and the Artillery Division, but also the new First Division should speed up and rush to the front line to participate in the battle as soon as possible."
As for the new Fourth Division, stay in Chifeng for the time being, and wait until Commander Song's troops take over Chifeng, the new Fourth Division will also go north as soon as possible to rush to the Tongliao line.This time, we not only want to take Tongliao, but also establish a solid base here, so we must block the counterattack of the devils. ”"I'm here to give orders to the troops, urging them to go north to support as soon as possible."
Ma Zhenguo nodded and said.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Zhenguo, you just rushed over and started working, and the headquarters is about to be transferred, you have to follow me to Tonghua, thank you for your hard work." ”"Hehe" Ma Zhenguo smiled and said: "Compared with the front-line soldiers, what is my hard work, the soldiers have not complained, how can I complain or that sentence, as long as I can defeat the little devil, even if I am tired to death, I am willing." ”"Well, we have this determination, why worry about the sun."
Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said.At this time, under the fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese 24th Division had completely fallen into a desperate situation, although the Japanese army desperately resisted, but it was simply unable to block the fierce attack of our army.The fierce battle lasted until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and the encircled Japanese 24th Division was basically completely annihilated, and the commander of the Japanese 24th Division, Lieutenant General Nemotohiro, committed suicide in despair.Li Guotao immediately ordered all troops to pursue and continue to advance towards Tongliao while they were victorious.aa2705221:
