Chapter 1697: Recovering Harbin


Li Guotao smiled and nodded, and said: "There are more than 30,000 little devils on the South Road, and the strength of our army is less than 50,000.However, it is enough to defeat it, we don't necessarily have to annihilate this little devil, as long as we can defeat it, it will be a victory. ”Ma Zhenguo couldn't help laughing when he heard this, nodded and said: "The commander is right, I always think about how to completely annihilate this little devil, and I fell into a misunderstanding for a while, in fact, we don't have to completely annihilate this little devil at all, as long as we can defeat it, we can also achieve our goal."

Since this is the case, I think the commander's plan is very feasible. ”Li Guotao smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then this matter is so decided, immediately convey the order to Deputy Commander Yang on the front line, tell them that this time, they must defeat the little devils on the South Road in one fell swoop."

I don't want them to be able to annihilate as many Japanese troops, as long as they can crush them so that they can't support Harbin, it's a victory. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and went to convey the order.Li Guotao thought for a moment, then turned to a staff officer and ordered: "Inform the Second Independent Division and the Third Independent Division, and let them rest on the spot for a day."

The 2nd Independent Division then moved south and advanced eastward along the Songhua River.The 3rd Independent Division went directly north, regained Qing'an, and after Tieli, continued to advance in the direction of Yichun. ”"Yes," the staff officer replied respectfully, turning to deliver the order.Li Guotao lowered his head and stared at the sand table again, thought for a while, and then picked up the phone on the table, dialed the headquarters of the new Fourth Division, and the person who answered the phone was a staff officer.After a while, Yang Erhu's loud voice came from the other end of the phone, "Report to the commander, I am Yang Erhu, what are the instructions" Li Guotao asked with a serious face: "What is the current battle situation in Harbin" Yang Erhu replied excitedly: "Report to the commander, everything is going well, at present, there are only a few thousand devil remnants left in the city, and they are compressed and surrounded by our army in the city center, although we have not completely occupied Harbin now, but judging from the current situation, the little devils have not been able to hold out for long." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "We have been attacking Harbin for several days, I only ask you if you are giving you a day, can you take Harbin." ”"Guaranteed to get the job done."

Yang Erhu replied respectfully."

Okay, before it gets dark tomorrow, take Harbin City, wipe out all the little devils in the city, and I will give you a great credit."

Li Guotao said with satisfaction."

Please rest assured that the good news will be delivered to the headquarters before dark tomorrow."

Yang Erhu swore an oath."

Then I'm relieved."

Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, and then hung up the phone.Thinking of the experience of the past few days, the Eighth Route Army was progressing smoothly, Li Guotao couldn't help but have a smile on his face, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff gently, and said to himself: "Time flies so fast, but it won't be long before we can achieve a complete victory in the War of Resistance." ”According to Li Guotao's order, the armored division crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Lalin River, about 40 kilometers away from the battlefield, in the early morning of the same day, and then quickly interspersed and detoured back to the flank and rear of the Japanese 12th Division.As soon as the armored division crossed the river, the Japanese got the news, so they hurriedly began to adjust the deployment, but the speed of the armored division was too fast, and about two hours later, the main force of the armored division appeared in the rear of the 12th division.By this time, it was already dark, and the armored division immediately took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the Japanese 12th Division."

Boom" In the violent roar of motors, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles ran over the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly, as if it had been earthquaked.The armored assault group moved forward with an indomitable momentum and directly killed the devil's position.Thousands of heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, following the rear and flanks of the armored cluster, killed the devil's position together.The little devil didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to take the initiative to attack them, although he got the news and began to adjust the deployment, but the time was too hasty, the little devil was not ready, and the Eighth Route Army had already called.So the little devil could only bite the bullet and resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army, but the offensive of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, especially the huge impact of the armored cluster, without complete fortifications, the little devil could not resist at all.The first temporary line of defense built by the Japanese army lasted less than half an hour before it was successfully broken through by the Eighth Route Army.The armored cluster was as easy as a sharp dagger to tear through the Japanese defense, crushing the corpse of the little devil, and continued to rush towards the deep position of the devil.At the same time, the main force of the newly formed 3rd Division of the Eighth Route Army on the north bank of the Lalin River also immediately launched an attack on the Japanese army from the front.Under the attack of the Eighth Route Army from both sides, the little devil suddenly fell into chaos, and the fierce battle lasted from early morning to noon, and the main force of the newly formed Fourth Division forcibly crossed the Lalin River and fought to the south bank.The little devils who desperately resisted finally couldn't withstand the fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army and were completely defeated.And the Eighth Route Army continued to intensify its offensive and attacked fiercely all the way.The little devils were defeated, the whole line collapsed, and a large number of devil soldiers fled south in embarrassment.The heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army immediately followed and killed, and chased and killed for dozens of miles in one go, killing the corpses of the little devils all over the field and bleeding into rivers, and the Japanese army was defeated all the way to Buyeo, which barely gained a firm foothold.However, at this time, the 12th Division and the Nagata Brigade had already suffered heavy losses, and in this day's battle, the Japanese army lost more than 20,000 people, and the 12th Division and the Nagata Brigade were all disabled, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and they were no longer able to take the initiative to attack our army.After Li Guotao got the news, he was naturally extremely excited, and then ordered the new 3rd Division to build a defensive line north of Buyeo, monitor the remnants of the devils who fled back to Buyeo, and prevent the Japanese army from reinforcing again, and then ordered the armored division to immediately advance in the direction of Songyuan and prepare to recover Songyuan.It was also on this day that the newly formed Fourth Division and the newly formed Fifth Division of the Eighth Route Army finally annihilated the remnants of the Japanese army in Harbin in one fell swoop, and recovered Harbin, an important town in Heilongjiang, in one fell swoop.So far, the 71st Division of the Japanese Army and more than 30,000 Japanese troops stationed in Harbin have all been annihilated.At this point, the strength of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Heilongjiang was further weakened, and with the current strength of the Japanese army in Heilongjiang, it was no longer possible to stop the offensive of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army.aa2705221:
