Anda County was originally a small city, but under the fierce artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, the city walls have collapsed in many places.Then the ground forces of the Eighth Route Army launched a fierce attack, and after several hours of fierce fighting, the armored division took the lead in breaking through the Japanese fortifications from the west of the city and attacking the county town of Anda.A large number of Eighth Route Army poured into the city and continued to launch a fierce offensive against the remnants of the Japanese army in the city.The Eighth Route Army has a large number of troops, and once the city fortifications are lost, the Japanese army in the city will not be able to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army at all, and the little devil also understands this very well.Therefore, he immediately mobilized the troops in the city and took the initiative to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army that entered the city, trying to drive the Eighth Route Army out of the city in one fell swoop when the Eighth Route Army had just entered the city and its foothold was not stable.The two armies fought each other in a house-by-room battle in the city, and the battle was extremely fierce.However, the little devil still overestimated his own strength, and the Japanese army mobilized troops to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army in the west of the city, resulting in a relative emptiness of troops in the north and east of the city, and the Eighth Route Army seized the opportunity.The newly formed 3rd Division and the 3rd Independent Division successively broke through the Japanese fortifications in these two directions and entered the city.In the front-line headquarters, after Li Guotao learned about the situation on the front line, he was extremely excited, and said with a smile: "Now that the fortifications of Anda City have been broken through, it is only a matter of time before the Japanese army in the city is annihilated and Anda is recovered." ”Yang Xuecheng said excitedly: "According to this trend, we will be able to take Anda City in half a day at most, if everything goes well, maybe we won't even be able to use half a day." ”Li Guotao nodded, then shook his head and said, "Now that the victory is decided, we don't have to be in such a hurry to take Anda City." ”Yang Xuecheng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked with a puzzled face: "If you don't take Anda City as soon as possible, can't the commander have other plans" Li Guotao nodded with a smile, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table and said with a serious face: "Old Yang, you see that the 10th Division of the Japanese Army started from Tailai, advanced all the way to the east, has crossed Huji Tumo, and then continues to prepare to support Anda in the east, this little devil is alone in depth, I mean seize this opportunity, concentrate superior forces, and annihilate this 10th Division." ”Yang Xuecheng lowered his head and took a careful look at the sand table, thought about it for a moment, and then nodded with a serious face and said: "The 10th Division of the Japanese Army, the lone army is deep, and quickly supports Anda, this is a good opportunity, but the little devil has always been cunning, once he finds something wrong, he will definitely withdraw to Tailai immediately, and it seems that it is not so easy to annihilate this little devil in one fell swoop." ”Li Guotao said with a serious face: "My plan is to transfer a brigade from the newly formed Fourth Division to go south from Lianhuanhu Lake and penetrate directly into Huji Tumo, so as to cut off the retreat of the Japanese army.Then the armored brigade of the armored division and the first motorized infantry brigade were withdrawn, outflanked to the south of the 10th division, cut off its inevitable retreat, and then transferred a brigade from the new third division and the independent third division, and cooperated with some local troops to launch an attack on the Japanese army from the east, so that the Japanese army was besieged on three sides, and the 10th division should be able to encircle and annihilate the 10th division in one fell swoop, and the north is now our territory.
The elimination of the 10th Division was even more annihilated. ”When Yang Xuecheng heard this, he thought about it carefully, then nodded and said: "Well, this plan is indeed feasible, so we can slow down the offensive, lure the 10th Division to continue to advance eastward, and then encircle and annihilate it in one fell swoop." ”"Not bad" Li Guotao nodded with a smile and said: "The Japanese army in the city is already at the end of the crossbow, even if we deliberately slow down the offensive, the remnants of the Japanese army in the city will not last long, and the remaining remnants of the devil will not pose any threat to the entire battle situation, but we can use them to lure the Japanese 10th Division to take the bait." ”"Okay, I'll start arranging" Yang Xuecheng responded respectfully, turned around and hurriedly went to convey the order.When the 10th Division rushed to the Honggang area overnight, it was suddenly stubbornly blocked by the new Third Division and the Independent Third Division of our army.However, under the stubborn resistance of our Eighth Route Army, the two attacks launched by the Japanese army were successfully defeated by the Eighth Route Army.It was only at this moment that the Japanese realized that the situation was not good, and that they had encountered the regular main force of the Eighth Route Army.At this time, the 10th Division received a telegram from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, which said that Anda had been lost, and Yamada Otozo ordered the 10th Division to immediately retreat to Tailai County to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the main force of the Eighth Route Army.After receiving this news, the 10th Division did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered the troops to begin to retreat, but at this time, a brigade of the newly formed 4th Division of the Eighth Route Army suddenly penetrated into the town of Huji Tumo, and immediately launched an attack to the east.After receiving this news, the 10th Division did not dare to entangle too much with the Eighth Route Army, so as not to delay time and attract more Eighth Route Army, so the 10th Division immediately began to retreat southward, in an attempt to temporarily withdraw to Songyuan.But when the little devil retreated to Datong District, Daqing City, Datong District, he suddenly encountered the armored brigade of the armored division of the Eighth Route Army and the first brigade of motorized infantry that were interspersed.The Eighth Route Army immediately launched a fierce attack on the little devils, and it was already night, the little devils retreated in disarray, which was already a little chaotic, and was suddenly hit by the impact of the armored cluster, and the vanguard of the Japanese army was instantly defeated.It was only at this moment that the 10th Division realized the seriousness of the matter, but at this time the 10th Division had no way to escape, so it could only continue to attack southward in an attempt to break out.However, under the rampage of the armored cluster of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese suffered heavy losses and were soon divided into several sections, at which time the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which rushed from the west and north, immediately launched a frantic attack on the Japanese 10th Division.The Japanese army was soon divided and surrounded, lost its unified command, and became a mess, and could only fight on its own.On the side of the Eighth Route Army, Commander Yang Xuecheng personally rushed to the front line to direct the battle, concentrated superior forces, and broke the Japanese army one by one, and the fierce battle lasted from the evening to the morning of the next day, and the Japanese 10th Division of more than 20,000 people were finally annihilated in the Datong area, and only a few remnants of the defeated soldiers escaped from the chaos.aa2705221:
