According to Li Guotao's order, after the Eighth Route Army captured Songyuan, tens of thousands of troops of the new First Division and the New Second Division also left Baicheng and quickly recovered Tongyu, Qian'an, Da'an and other places, and the main force entered the vicinity of Changling.At the same time, the new Fourth Division and the new Fifth Division also moved south from Harbin, due to the loss of Songyuan, the Songhua River defense line has existed in name only, the Japanese army was forced to shrink its forces, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to cross the Songhua River.From Songyuan to Changchun is a plain area, and the Japanese army has no danger to defend at all, but the little devil does not want to sit still, so he can only bite the bullet and build a defensive line, trying to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army.On May 21, the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army concentrated the main force, the armored division, the new first division, the new second division, and the new third division, a total of four divisions, and launched a full-line attack on the front line from Changling to Nong'an.The two sides fought fiercely for a day, and the Japanese army was defeated and suffered heavy losses.The Armored Division of the Eighth Route Army and the newly formed First Division broke through the defensive line urgently constructed by the Japanese army between Changling County and Nong'an, and then went straight to the city of Changchun.At the same time, the new 2nd Division and the 3rd Division also surrounded Changling and Nong'an respectively.Seeing that the defense line had been broken through, the Japanese army had no point in holding on to the two small cities of Changling and Nong'an, so they could only abandon these two county towns and break through and retreat to Changchun.The Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to pursue and kill all the way, and the Japanese 1st and 8th Divisions were completely routed and suffered heavy losses.Of the more than 40,000 men in the two divisions, about 30,000 were annihilated, and in the end, only 10,000 remnants of the defeated army fled back to Changchun.At the same time, the new 4th Division and the 5th Division of the Eighth Route Army also concentrated their main forces and attacked Dehui, and the two sides fought fiercely for a day, and the Japanese 12th Division and the Changtian Brigade were again heavily damaged, and the Changling Nong'an defense line was broken through, and the Japanese army was forced to abandon Dehui and withdraw to Changchun.However, the 12th Division and the Changtian Brigade suffered heavy losses in successive battles, and finally managed to escape back to Changchun with less than 5,000 men.The Eighth Route Army won successive battles, and the headquarters of the Seventh Column was immersed in laughter.Li Guotao, Ma Zhenguo and others were also extremely excited.Ma Zhenguo stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table, and said excitedly: "As soon as the Japanese army was defeated, the main force of our army drove straight into Changchun and has arrived at the periphery of Changchun.However, the Japanese army that was defeated from the front line, about 10,000 people, nearly 20,000 fled back to Changchun, plus the defenders before Changchun, and in recent times, part of the Japanese troops drawn from around Changchun, there are now at least 40,000 Japanese troops in Changchun, and the puppet army also has about 20,000 people.That is to say, at present, the enemy forces in Changchun are still quite strong, and Changchun, as the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, is also the capital of the puppet Manchurians, and the Japanese puppet forces have been operating here for many years and have built a large number of fortifications, so if you want to gnaw the hard bone of Changchun, I am afraid it is not so easy. ”Li Guotao nodded slightly and said: "Zhenguo is right, our army is progressing smoothly at present, but now is not the time to be happy.Behind the high walls of Changchun City, it can be said that it is impregnable, and it is indeed very difficult to conquer Changchun City in one fell swoop.If we forcibly attack Changchun, we will inevitably fall into a bitter battle.Just like the rising sun now, the war is stalemate.This is definitely not a situation we want to see, so I don't think we need to risk attacking Changchun for the time being, and first besiege Changchun and cut off all external support from the little devils. ”Ma Zhenguo picked up a wooden stick, pointed to the sand table and said with a serious face: "We can send the armored division and the new first division to the south to capture Gongzhuling and Yitong south of Changchun, and then transfer the new fourth division and the new fifth division to the south, attack Jiutai from the east, and then take Shuangyang, so that our army will surround the entire Changchun regiment and cut off all the external support of the little devils." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded deeply, and then said with a serious face: "Just do as you say, and immediately convey the order" "Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and ordered a staff officer to convey the order.Li Guotao took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it in his mouth, picked up the lighter, lit it, and took a puff.smiled and said: "Zhenguo, now that our army has reached Changchun, what do you say the little devil will do next" Ma Zhenguo smiled and said excitedly: "I estimate that at this time, the old devil of Yamada Otozo must be angry and jump to his feet until now, I estimate that even if Yamada Otozo is no longer willing to give up the offensive in Liaoning, he can only give up, because he has no other choice." ”Li Guotao puffed out a puff of white smoke in his mouth, and said with a smile: "You are right, the little devil has given up most of Heilongjiang, and now he can't even give up Changchun, now he has no other choice, he can only give up attacking Liaoxi, and draw troops from the Liaoning battlefield to the north to rescue Changchun, so that the Japanese army's forces will be further dispersed, and our army will attack from the north and south lines at the same time, just to take the opportunity to break through each of them, and then take advantage of the situation to recover the entire northeast region." ”Ma Zhenguo breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "We have been waiting for this day for too long, after recovering the Northeast, we can take advantage of the situation to recover North China, East China, Central China, South China, and finally drive the little devils out of China completely."
Now that victory is in sight, I can't wait. ”Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "Not only us, but all the Chinese people, looking forward to victory is already in sight, so we still need to continue to work hard to completely drive the little devils out of China at an early date, completely defeat the Japanese, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." ”Ma Zhenguo nodded deeply and said: "It's just that if the Japanese army deploys troops to support Changchun, I'm afraid it will be inevitable that there will be a vicious battle" Li Guotao smiled slightly, and said confidently: "I think when we were in Jizhong, the conditions were so strong, and victory was even more far away.We will destroy as many little devils as we come, until we destroy all these Japanese beasts. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded, and said with a serious face: "Looking back on the past, it's unbearable to look back, the commander is right, we have survived the wind and waves, and now that victory is in sight, what else do we have to worry about."
Today's Changchun is the grave of tomorrow's Japanese criminals, and we will destroy them as many as they come, until we kill them all and cut them all. ”aa2705221:
