Ma Zhenguo held a telegram in his hand, hurriedly walked up to Li Guotao, frowned and said: "I just received the latest news, the Japanese 125th Division has captured Tieli and is currently continuing to advance in the direction of Suihua. ”"The speed of this 125th Division is quite fast" Li Guotao raised his eyebrows, frowned and thought about it, and then said with a serious face: "In this case, immediately transfer the 2nd Independent Division and the 3rd Independent Division to Suihua to the north, attract the 125th Division to Suihua, and then annihilate it." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo replied respectfully, and then asked: "The 12th Division of the Japanese Army has rushed to Songyuan, and the Japanese Changtian Brigade has rushed to Fuyu, judging from the current situation, the Japanese army will definitely speed up its northward movement, and we can't afford not to guard against it" Li Guotao nodded and said: "Well, order the armored division and the new third division to withdraw from Harbin and build a defensive line on the front line of Shuangcheng to block the attack of these two little devils. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and said with a worried expression: "If the strength of these two divisions is withdrawn, then only the strength of the new Fourth Division and the new Fifth Division will be left to attack Harbin." ”"I know" Li Guotao nodded and said: "Now that the city fortifications of Harbin have been broken through, it is only a matter of time to capture Harbin, not to mention that we are not in a hurry to capture Harbin, there are enough troops of these two divisions, let them not be in a hurry, fight slowly, and try to avoid unnecessary casualties." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and went to convey the order.The 125th Division of the Japanese Army, along the railway south from Yichun, was constantly blocked by the local troops of our Eighth Route Army along the way, but after all, the Japanese army had the strength of a division, and it was like a bamboo, and successively captured Tieli, Qing'an and other places, and the troops were under the city of Suihua.After the Japanese army arrived in Suihua, they immediately launched a fierce attack on Suihua City.At this time, our Eighth Route Army only had about a few thousand local troops to defend in Suihua, but our Eighth Route Army soldiers resisted bravely, although the Japanese army attacked rapidly, but it could not take Suihua for a while, and the fierce battle dragged on until the evening, and the Japanese army was never able to attack Suihua City, and finally could only temporarily stop the attack and began to rest on the spot.However, it was this night that completely changed the fate of these little devils, and the 2nd Independent Division and the 3rd Independent Division, taking advantage of this night, marched more than 100 miles in a hurry, and directly detoured back to the two flanks of the devils.By the next day, when the little devil found out that the situation was not good, it was too late.The tens of thousands of main forces of the Eighth Route Army of two divisions launched a fierce attack on the little devils from both flanks in a pincer shape.Faced with such a situation, the Japanese army should retreat immediately, so as not to be surrounded and annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.However, the commander of the 125th Division still wanted to rescue Harbin, and mistakenly thought that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was still in Harbin, and that only the local troops of the Eighth Route Army were besieging them, so he ordered to hold his position.The two armies immediately started a melee in the northern area of Suihua, and the fierce battle lasted for several hours, and the Eighth Route Army attacked in a roundabout way, successfully cutting off the retreat route of the devil's northward escape, and surrounded the 125th Division.It was only at this moment that the Japanese realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to retreat at this time.The little devil launched several attacks, trying to break through the resistance of the Eighth Route Army and flee north, but in the end they all failed.At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the Eighth Route Army launched the final general attack on the encircled 125th Division, and tens of thousands of main forces of the Eighth Route Army launched a fierce offensive from all sides at the same time.The fierce battle continued into the evening, and the main force of the Japanese 125th Division was about 20,000 people, and all but a few remnants of the defeated army broke through at night.At the same time, the Japanese 12th Division and the Nagata Brigade immediately moved north after the peace in Buyeo, but when they reached the Lalin River, they were stubbornly blocked by the Eighth Route Army, at this time the river had thawed, and the Eighth Route Army built a defensive line along the riverbank, and the Japanese launched several attacks in an attempt to break through our defense line, but in the end they all failed.On the Harbin side, under the continuous attack of the Eighth Route Army, most of the Japanese troops in the city have been annihilated, leaving less than 5,000 people, constantly shrinking the defensive line, holding on to the last block in the city, doing a death struggle, three-quarters of the urban area of Harbin has been recovered by the Eighth Route Army.For the Japanese army, the situation in Harbin became more and more critical.Although the 12th Division of the Japanese Army and the Nagata Brigade were eager to go north to support Harbin, they were unable to break through the defense line of the Lalin River at all, and they were helpless about it.As night fell, cheers rang out in the headquarters of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, and the news that the 2nd Independent Division and the 3rd Independent Division had completely annihilated the 125th Division made everyone excited.Li Guotao and Ma Zhenguo were also very happy, and at this time the two were discussing the next strategy with a group of staff officers around the sand table.Ma Zhenguo said with a serious face: "Now that the Japanese army on the North Road has been completely annihilated, if our army can annihilate this little devil on the South Road again, it will be perfect." ”Li Guotao nodded, smiled and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is not difficult to defeat the little devil on the South Road.After a day of fierce fighting, the sharpness of this little devil has been almost consumed, and it is time for us to launch a counterattack. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and said: "The little devils in the south have a division and a brigade, with more than 30,000 troops, and they are stationed on the south bank of the Lalin River, it is not a simple matter to break through the Lalin River and defeat this little devil." ”Li Guotao explained with a smile: "If it is a head-on breakthrough, the possibility of success is really unlikely.But we don't necessarily have to break through from the front, you see here, there's a bridge that allows for the passage of large vehicles, and our armored forces have no problem passing.It is about forty kilometers away from the battlefield where the two armies are facing each other, and at the speed of our armored division, it only takes a few hours to cross the Lalin River from this bridge, and then detour back to the flank of the Japanese army, and then cooperate with the main force of the new 3rd Division to launch an attack on the Japanese army at the same time, and it will definitely be able to defeat this little devil in one fell swoop. ”Ma Zhenguo looked at Li Guotao, who was full of confidence, lowered his head and glanced at the sand table again, frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "This plan is not bad, but we only have two divisions on the southern front now, although we have a certain advantage in terms of strength, but this advantage is not obvious." ”aa2705221:
