"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and went to convey the order.At 0:00 a.m. that night, in accordance with Li Guotao's order, Li Yongfu transferred 700 elite soldiers from the newly formed Second Division to form a death squad to attack the Japanese position at night.Because after several days of intense fighting, the little devil is exhausted, and for several days, the Eighth Route Army has always been pressed and beaten by the little devil, and even retreated all the way from Changchun to Gongzhuling, the devil mistakenly thought that the Eighth Route Army in Gongzhuling had no power to fight back, so he neglected to take precautions, and the death squad successfully arrived at the Japanese army's position, and then suddenly launched a fierce attack.The little devils in the forward position were caught off guard and suddenly became a mess, and Li Yongfu immediately threw all his troops into a counterattack on the Japanese army on all fronts, recovering more than a dozen lost positions in one fell swoop, and the Japanese army continued to retreat.But the little devil's reaction was also fast, and he immediately organized troops to resist stubbornly, and the battle was extremely tragic, and it fell into a white-hot stage for a while.At the same time, the Second Special Operations Brigade of the Eighth Route Army attacked Fanjiatun, annihilated hundreds of defenders, and captured Fanjiatun in one fell swoop.Subsequently, the cavalry division of the Eighth Route Army and the main force of the new 6th Brigade of the new 3rd Division rushed to Fanjiatun, and then the main force continued to the south and launched an attack on the Japanese army from the north.Yamada Otozo, who had been suffering from insomnia for a long time, had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a sharp knock on the door, and faintly heard the adjutant shouting outside: "Your Excellency, Commander, something is wrong." ”Yamada Otozo, who had just woken up from his sleep, suddenly heard this, and his face turned pale with fright, and he almost had a heart attack.Hurriedly got up and hurriedly opened the door.As soon as the door opened, Yoshimoto Sadamada pulled away the adjutant one by one, squeezed in first, and then lowered his head and said with a serious face: "Your Excellency, Commander, something is wrong."
The Eighth Route Army suddenly captured Fanjiatun and cut off the retreat of the imperial army. ”"Nani" Yamada Otozo couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said with a panicked face: "How can this be" "Not only that, news came from the front line of Gongzhuling, the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched a night sneak attack on the imperial army, the current battle is very fierce, our imperial army warriors desperately resisted, and the situation has been temporarily stabilized, but the Eighth Route Army's offensive is too fierce, and it may not be easy to completely defeat it." ”Sadachi Yoshimoto continued."
How could this be the case with Baga Yalu.Isn't there a few hundred imperial troops stationed in Fanjiatun, how could it be lost so quickly," Yamada Otozo asked loudly with a look of disbelief."
Report to Your Excellency Commander, Fanjiatun does have three squadrons of imperial troops stationed, but the Zhina people suddenly attacked, and according to the telegram sent by the defenders before Yu Crush, it should be the special combat team of the Eighth Route Army that attacked Fanjiatun, this Eighth Route Army is very strong, and it sneaked into the town and suddenly launched a sneak attack, which led to the rapid loss of Fanjiatun."
Yoshimoto Sadachi hurriedly explained."
Yaga, I don't want to hear these excuses."
Yamada Otozo yelled angrily.At this moment, a devil officer hurriedly ran over and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the Eighth Route Army outside the city has suddenly launched an attack on Changchun. ”Yamada Otozo's eyes widened, and sure enough, he heard a dense burst of gunfire faintly outside the city, these gunfire sounds came from the east, north, and west directions, only the south was relatively calm, and it was obvious that the Eighth Route Army was attacking the city in a big way.Yamada Otozo's face became even more ugly, and he said angrily: "The Ya Ya Lu Zhi person is cunning, and we have fallen for the Zhi person again."
Where is the position of the imperial army that has just left the city to support now?"
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, they have already passed nearly twenty miles from Fanjiatun. ”Sadachi Yoshimoto hurriedly replied."
Order them to turn around immediately, counterattack Fanjiatun, and be sure to recapture Fanjiatun.In addition, the imperial army units on the front line of Gongzhuling were ordered to immediately retreat and withdraw to Changchun. ”Yamada Otozo hurriedly ordered."
There is no problem in counterattacking Fanjiatun, but the 1st Division of the Imperial Army on the Gongzhuling front line is fighting fiercely with the Eighth Route Army, and now the battle is fierce, I am afraid that it will not be able to withdraw for a while."
Yoshimoto said cautiously."
If you can't withdraw, you have to withdraw the branch, obviously the person has been prepared for a long time, the purpose is to attract the imperial army out of the city and then annihilate it, so the 1st Division and other units must be withdrawn, and I am afraid that it will fall into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army if it is too late."
Yamada Otozo yelled angrily."
Hai" Yoshimoto Sadachi dared to say anything more, respectfully answered, and turned to convey the order.Yamada Otozo also hurriedly returned to the room, took off his pajamas, changed into a military uniform, and then hurried to the command hall.Due to the urgency of the war, Yamada Otozo has been living in the headquarters for a period of time, and has not returned to live in the kennel in Changchun at all.According to Yamada Otozo's order, the 5,000 Japanese troops under the command of the Gongzhuling front line immediately turned around and prepared to counterattack Fanjiatun.However, at this time, the main force of the Eighth Route Army had already moved south from Fanjiatun, and the two armies met halfway, and a fierce battle broke out.The cavalry division took the lead in launching an attack on the Japanese army, and under the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, the little devil without any fortifications was immediately defeated, and was soon divided into several pieces by the cavalry division, and the little devil could not go north, so he could only retreat to the south.Seeing that they could not escape, some little devils could only seize the nearby favorable terrain in an attempt to resist stubbornly.Then the new Sixth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army arrived and assisted the cavalry division to launch a more fierce attack on the little devils, and soon annihilated all the little devils who stayed behind and resisted.Then continue south, chasing the defeated little devils.The cavalry division pursued and killed all the way, and the corpses of the little devils who were directly killed were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and three infantry brigades, an artillery brigade, and a baggage brigade, a total of more than 5,000 little devils, almost all of them were wiped out.Infantry against cavalry, unless it has strong firepower and occupies a favorable terrain as a basis, once defeated, in the face of mobile cavalry units, the infantry has no advantage at all, and can only be reduced to a slaughtered lamb.However, there is a certain reason why the Eighth Route Army defeated this little devil so quickly, first of all, the incident happened suddenly, the little devil was not well prepared, and he was suddenly attacked by a large number of cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.Another important reason is that almost most of this group of little devils are newly recruited recruits, although after nearly a month of intensive training in Changchun, they also have a certain combat effectiveness, but the combat effectiveness is really not strong, compared with those old devils, it is not at the same level at all, so once the battle is unfavorable, it is easy to cause chaos, and finally evolve into a rout.aa2705221:
