Chen Xiang smiled, licked his face and said, "You can't help but look down on these little devils too much, it's winter, and the river is frozen."
Our troops have already rounded up and down the river and surrounded the little devils.There are only a thousand little devils, and I'd like to see how long they can last. ”Yang Xuecheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's very good, but at present, the 1st Division of the Japanese Army has gone north, and the newly formed 4th Division has now rushed to Tailai County, ready to rely on Tailai County to build fortifications to resist the 1st Division of the Japanese Army going north."
In this way, the task of attacking Qiqihar in the north can only be completed by our independent 3rd Division. ”Chen Xiang couldn't help frowning, and said with a worried face: "Although the Qiqihar garrison is empty now, it is said that there are still thousands of Japanese troops in the city, and there are still some puppet troops stationed.The nearby Japanese army is also actively reinforcing Qiqihar, and Qiqihar is the provincial capital of Heilongjiang after all, the city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although we have ordered the nearby guerrillas to move closer to Qiqihar and try to block the Japanese reinforcements.But I'm afraid it won't be too big, and with the strength of one of our divisions, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take Qiqihar. ”"Haha" Yang Xuecheng explained with a smile: "We march into Qiqihar, and we don't necessarily have to take Qiqihar.Our real purpose is to create panic and chaos for the little devils, and only then will the little devils make mistakes in the panic.And as long as we can seize the opportunity, we will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army.So if we can win Qiqihar, everyone will naturally be happy, but if we don't have the opportunity to win Qiqihar, we don't have to force it.But we have to make a posture now to take down Qiqihar to the death, only then will the little devil be afraid. ”"I understand," Chen Xiang said with a sudden nod.Yang Xuecheng then asked with a serious face: "Are the troops ready?"
"It's ready, ready to attack at any time." ”Chen Xiang hurriedly replied."
Immediately launch an attack and take the river bridge in one fell swoop."
Yang Xuecheng ordered with a serious face."
Yes," Chen Xiang replied respectfully, and then ordered the troops to attack.With the order of the headquarters, the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army immediately sounded the rumbling cannon, and all the artillery began to concentrate its firepower and bombarded the Japanese position, and in the blink of an eye, the Japanese position fell into a burst of artillery fire.A large number of fortifications were directly destroyed by heavy artillery fire, and the Japanese troops on the positions suffered heavy losses.In the first battle of Yangshapao, the 3rd Independent Division completely annihilated the Japanese Inamura Brigade in one fell swoop, and at the same time captured a large number of weapons, equipment and ammunition.In particular, the devil's artillery was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army before it had time to be deployed, and after this battle, our army captured more than 20 pieces of Japanese artillery of various types and 2,000 shells of various types, which greatly enhanced the strength of our army.After nearly half an hour of bombardment, the Japanese positions were in shambles, most of the fortifications were destroyed, and the Japanese troops on the positions also suffered heavy losses.Subsequently, the main force of the 3rd Independent Division, with thousands of troops, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from the south, east and west.After an hour of fierce fighting, most of the Japanese army was wiped out, and the remaining more than 100 little devils could only be forced to abandon their positions and flee north in embarrassment.As a result, as soon as this group of little devils escaped from the position, they were pursued by the cavalry battalion of the 3rd Independent Division, but no one escaped, all of them were annihilated, and the Eighth Route Army regained Jiangqiao in one fell swoop.After the battle, Yang Xuecheng happily ordered the communications staff officer to send a telegram to the headquarters of the seventh column, reporting the victory.In the telegram, Li Guotao strongly praised the brilliant achievements of the Third Independent Division, and at the same time ordered the Third Independent Division to continue to march in the direction of Qiqihar.After Yang Xuecheng received the order, he immediately ordered the troops to continue to move north.The Japanese army was extremely panicked, and hurriedly mobilized the troops around Qiqihar to retreat in the city, preparing to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements.The Eighth Route Army was like a bamboo, and in the evening of the same day, it captured the Angangxi Station, and then continued north, approaching Qiqihar.On the evening of the same day, the Third Brigade of the Special Operations Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, with the cooperation of the guerrillas, raided the Qiqihar airfield in the south of the city, annihilated hundreds of defenders of the airfield in one fell swoop, successfully captured the Qiqihar airfield, captured more than 20 combat planes of various types, and destroyed more than 10 planes in the battle.The special operations brigade was reorganized from the original special operations brigade, with Zhao Yunfei as the brigade commander, and the brigade has three special operations brigades under its jurisdiction with a total strength of more than 3,000 troops.However, the three brigades of the special operations brigade did not gather together.Among them, Zhao Yunfei led the first brigade to conduct guerrilla warfare in Liaoning, and the second brigade, under the leadership of captain Xu Feihu, conducted guerrilla warfare in Jilin.The Third Brigade, under the leadership of Captain Du Yulong, has been active in the southeastern area of Qiqihar.The main force of the Eighth Route Army marched north to Qiqihar, and Du Yulong also received an order from the headquarters to assist the main force in the battle.After receiving the order, Du Yulong immediately led his troops to advance towards Qiqihar.By the time Du Yulong led his troops to the vicinity of Qiqihar, the main force had already captured Jiangqiao.So Du Yulong decided to attack Qiqihar Airport at night that night.Due to Yang Xuecheng's order, the militia guerrillas near Qiqihar marched towards Qiqihar, and a large number of guerrillas flocked to Qiqihar.Du Yulong led the third brigade and gathered thousands of guerrillas along the way.The two troops acted together and took Qiqihar Airport in one fell swoop.Just when the 3rd Independent Division marched all the way to Qiqihar.The 1st Division of the Japanese Army finally broke through the layers of obstacles of the Eighth Route Army and rushed to Tailai County.But at this time, the main force of the new Fourth Division of the Eighth Route Army had built a solid defensive position in Tailai County, and the Japanese army was eager to rescue Qiqihar, and then launched a fierce attack on Tailai County, but under the stubborn resistance of the Eighth Route Army, the two sides fought fiercely for half a day, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses and made no progress, and was forced to temporarily stop the offensive.At this time, the 8th Division of the Japanese Army had also moved north from the vicinity of Tongliao and had now rushed to the vicinity of Baicheng.Yamada Otozo issued several orders one after another, ordering the 8th Division to speed up its northward movement, make peace with the 1st Division as soon as possible, break through the resistance of the Eighth Route Army, and support Qiqihar.At the same time, the new Third Division of the Eighth Route Army, which was closest to Baicheng, also rushed to Baicheng day and night, preparing to support the new Fourth Division.aa2705221:
