According to Li Guotao's order, the main force of the independent 3rd Division went directly north early the next morning to attack Fufu County.And Yang Xuecheng, as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, arrived in Tailai County with the main force of the armored division that night.In the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Tailai County, Yang Xuecheng gathered all the main generals of each division, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said with a serious face: "There is still an hour and a half before dawn, and according to the task given to us by the commander, we will launch an attack on the whole line this morning."
The time was set for eight o'clock in the morning, which means that now the troops only have about two hours left to prepare. ”Yang Erhu said with an urgent face: "Commander Yang, rest assured, we are ready to attack at any time, just waiting for the commander to give the order." ”Lin Feng also nodded and said, "Two hours is enough" Yang Xuecheng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then turned to look at Liang Fei, the deputy commander of the armored division, Yang Xuecheng is still the commander of the armored division, but because Yang Xuecheng wears many hats, the armored division is basically in charge of Liang Fei, the deputy division commander.Liang Fei once studied in Soviet Russia, majoring in armored troops, and was a rare general in the Eighth Route Army.In the previous battles, Liang Fei's performance was also very good, which was enough to serve as the commander of the armored division.Liang Fei confidently assured: "Please rest assured, division commander, our armored division can launch an attack at any time." ”"Okay" Yang Xuecheng glanced down at the sand table on the table, and said with a serious face: "I have just contacted the cavalry division and the teaching brigade, and the two troops will arrive later, after the main force of our army launches a frontal attack, they will cooperate with us to launch an attack from the flank, and strive to defeat the first and eighth divisions of the Japanese army in one fell swoop."
Since you have no opinions, the time for the general attack is set for 8 o'clock in the morning.Tell you to go down at once, and make good preparations, and this time you will only succeed and not fail. ”"It's to ensure the completion of the task," Lin Feng and the others responded in unison.It was just dawn that morning.The Japanese discovered the cavalry division and teaching brigade of the Eighth Route Army, which were rapidly advancing towards the Japanese army from the west.This made the Japanese army extremely panicked, and all the Japanese troops urgently assembled and began to actively prepare for battle, and the attack plan that morning was also forced to be canceled.However, it was already late, at eight o'clock in the morning.The artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army resounded with rumbling cannons, and dense shells pierced the sky, with a piercing whistling sound, and flew towards the Japanese positions opposite.The sound of violent explosions suddenly rang out, and the positions of the Japanese army in the front line were instantly enveloped in artillery fire.The Japanese reacted quickly enough, and immediately carried out artillery countermeasures.The artillery of both sides came and went, and a fierce artillery battle began.When the battle was at its most intense, more than 20 fighters of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Division covered more than 30 bombers, rushed to the battlefield ahead of the Japanese air force, and immediately launched a wanton bombardment of the Japanese ground positions.As soon as the battle began, the Japanese side asked for help from the army and aviation for urgent tactical guidance, but it was still a step too late.Under the bombardment of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses.By the time the Japanese fighters hurried over, it was already more than an hour later, and the bomber group of the Eighth Route Army had completed their bombing and began to return home.At this time, in the second wave of the Eighth Route Army, more than 50 fighters arrived on time to the battlefield, and then fought fiercely with Japanese fighters in the air.In the front-line headquarters, Yang Xuecheng held a telescope to observe the battle situation in the air, nodded with satisfaction and said: "The devil's fighter plane has been pinned down by our air force, and immediately ordered all troops to launch a full-line attack, striving to defeat the Japanese army in front of him in one fell swoop." ”"Yes," several communications staff officers next to him responded respectfully, and immediately ran to convey the order.Yang Xuecheng's order was quickly conveyed, and the front positions of the Eighth Route Army sounded a loud horn of charge almost at the same time."
Kill" In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Third Division and the Fourth Division of the Eighth Route Army rushed out of the trenches one after another, roaring loudly and angrily, and rushed towards the position of the devil without hesitation.At the same time, the Panzer Division immediately launched an offensive on all fronts, launching a fierce offensive against the Japanese positions on the right flank.Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles rumbled towards the Japanese positions on the opposite side.Surrounded by a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, following behind the armored cluster, they rushed towards the position of the devils.Fierce battles broke out immediately, and the fighters of both sides chased each other in the air, and the fighting was in full swing, and the Eighth Route Army on the ground dispatched tens of thousands of troops to launch a fierce offensive against the Japanese positions from the front.After the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army launched a general attack, nearly 20,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army's cavalry division and teaching brigade, which had just arrived, also launched a fierce offensive against the Japanese army from the left flank.Under the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army, the positions of the Japanese army were frequently in a hurry.Especially in the right-flank positions, in the face of hundreds of combat vehicles, the Japanese army simply did not have effective means of response.In just one hour, the armored division broke through the two blocking lines of the Japanese army one after another, and directly inserted itself into the rear of the Japanese army, in an attempt to cut off the retreat of the Japanese army.At this time, the Japanese army was also panicked, seeing that the general trend had gone, and fearing that they would be surrounded and annihilated by the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, so they could only order the troops to start retreating.The frontal defense line of the Japanese army, under the fierce attack of our Eighth Route Army, was already in danger, and the little devils began to retreat, and the defense line was immediately broken.The morale of the heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army was greatly boosted, and they continued to chase and kill the devils in depth.The Japanese army was then completely routed, and fled in the direction of Baicheng in disarray.However, the Eighth Route Army will never let go of such a good opportunity, chasing and killing all the way, and the little devils who were killed directly were bleeding like rivers and corpses all over the field.The Japanese army was defeated all the way to Baicheng, and only with the help of Baicheng's fortifications temporarily stabilized the situation.However, the 1st Division and the 8th Division, after this battle, have been completely disabled, the two divisions of nearly 60,000 Japanese troops, and finally able to successfully escape back to Baicheng, only more than 10,000 people remained, in less than a day, the loss of more than 40,000 people, and the main battle units have been lost, has basically lost combat effectiveness.That night, the Japanese Seventh Division hurriedly rushed to Baicheng, the Eighth Route Army had reached its strategic intention, and it was no longer able to take Baicheng, so it immediately began to retreat and retreat to Tailai County.And the Japanese army was newly defeated, and did not dare to pursue it at all.aa2705221:
