After Li Maolin's cavalry circled Kaifeng City twice, they had no intention of leaving at all, but stayed directly seven kilometers outside the city.And it was divided into three groups, staring at Kaifeng City with fierce eyes, as if it was about to attack at any time.This frightened the devils in Kaifeng City, and they wanted to drive away these cavalry, but the location Li Maolin chose happened to be the place where the devil's artillery fire could not extend.The devils in Kaifeng City could only do it in a hurry, standing on the head of the city and watching the cavalry waving the banner from afar, and they didn't know what they wanted to do.All the Japanese puppet troops were tightly carrying their hearts, for fear that these cavalrymen who had just won a battle would take the opportunity to attack Kaifeng.And the civilians in Kaifeng City have long heard that their own troops outside the city have won a great victory, wiped out tens of thousands of devils, and are still stationed outside the city.Everyone was hoping that their troops would come in quickly and save them from the fire.On this day, there was no one on the street, and all the families closed their windows and closed their homes.They waited quietly, waiting for the Chinese army to enter the city and drive away the little devils completely.Twenty kilometers outside the city, the flames of the battlefield have gradually been extinguished.Gao Dong sat on a high ground and listened to Hu Xinghan, Fang Kui and others report the results of the battle to him."
The two divisions of the Japanese army have been completely annihilated by us, and more than 13,200 Japanese soldiers have been captured, and the captured weapons and materials cannot be counted for the time being, which is really too much" "This time, more than 20,000 devils escaped, and all of them retreated into Kaifeng City.However, they lost their heavy equipment and fled with only light weapons, which is no longer a formidable opponent. ”"There was another puppet army division that was nearly half wiped out by us in the battle, and half of them fled in the direction of Xinyang.They have already formed a routed army, and have sent troops to chase after them, believing that there will be results soon. ”One after another battle reports came into Gao Dong's ears, but there was no trace of expression fluctuation on his face.After a long time, Gao Dong slowly asked: "How many casualties have we suffered" Hu Xinghan was stunned for a moment, but then said: "There are 3,672 dead soldiers, and more than 3,000 wounded, and they are currently being treated in the rear.Most of the soldiers were killed under the bombardment of the devils in the early stage, and we paid a great price. ”Gao Dong was silent, this was the first time that such casualties had occurred since the Independence Army had been replaced with new equipment.According to his idea, the ratio of casualties between the Independence Army and the devils should be 10 to 1, or even greater.But now it has reached the level of 6 to 1, which has far exceeded his estimate, which makes him very angry."
The Japanese set up this defensive position in advance, gathered more than half of the garrison and firepower of Henan, and waited for us here.It was because I miscalculated, and I didn't investigate well in advance, so there would be such a big loss," Hu Xinghan lowered his head and said sincerely."
This has nothing to do with you" Gao Dong waved his hand at him and said solemnly: "This can only show that although we are equipped with new weapons, we still cannot completely have an overwhelming advantage over the Japanese army in the overall extent."
They also have artillery, tanks, and even air support.If all these factors are added together, and we lack courageous soldiers, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose in the end. ”Gao Dong stood up, patted Hu Xinghan on the shoulder and encouraged: "You are a good commander, with you, the independent army can exert extraordinary combat ability."
The independent army can be as it is now, and your credit cannot be erased" "Captain" Hu Xinghan looked at Gao Dong and didn't know what to say for a while."
Okay, quickly count the supplies and escort all the prisoners of the devil back to the Suwan Military Region."
Gao Dong turned his head to look in the direction of Kaifeng, and said gloomily: "The devils in Kaifeng are a nail for us to go to northern Shaanxi, if we don't pull them out, we will always have worries." ”"Fang Kui" Gao Dong yelled."
In" Fang Kui puffed up his chest, at this moment he was not facing Brother Gao, but Gao Dong, the deputy commander of the Suwan Military Region whom he trusted the most."
Lead your troops to immediately cooperate with Li Haolin's cavalry to surround Kaifeng, and when we clean up the battlefield, come and talk to you immediately" Gao Dong ordered loudly, his voice full of murderous atmosphere."
Yes" Fang Kui didn't have any nonsense and turned to leave."
What about Yang Jihong," Gao Dong yelled at the officers of the Independence Army."
To" Yang Jihong walked out of the crowd and stood up in front of Gao Dong."
Your artillery division immediately blocked all roads outside Kaifeng City, and when the battle began, I want you to accurately hit their defensive positions and provide fire support to the siege troops" Gao Dong stepped forward and shouted almost close to his ear: "If you dare to bombard me with shells into the city, you will look good" "Comrade Deputy Commander, I will personally adjust each cannon to ensure that it can definitely hit the devil's position accurately, and there will be no deviation" Yang Jihong responded loudly.Gao Dong smiled and punched him in the chest: "I know you're a cannon idiot, go ahead, just to remind you." ”"Yes" Yang Jihong smiled at Gao Dong and turned to leave."
Yang Fei," Gao Dong yelled again."
To" Yang Fei rushed out of the crowd and came to Gao Dong in a few steps.Yang Fei's face had been dyed black by the smoke of gunpowder, only two pairs of eyes were still bubbling with a thick murderous aura, and he was covered in blood, if he lay on the ground and did not move, he would definitely think that he was a dead man."
You are flying fiercely, and you are personally leading the troops to charge," Gao Dong smiled helplessly.Yang Fei grinned: "Deputy commander, we have this temper, watching my brothers rush up, I don't feel comfortable hiding behind and commanding." ”Gao Dong shook his head: "You are now a commander, and you always have to think about your own safety.If you are killed by a devil with one shot, then the entire division may fall into chaos, and you must remember this clearly and do not act recklessly. ”"Yes, I know, I won't rush to the front next time, it's always okay to rush in the middle of the team," Yang Fei said very seriously."
I said you can't help but think about charging" Gao Dong was completely out of touch with him, and said with a wry smile: "Take your sharp knife master, immediately block all the passages outside Kaifeng City, wait for the order to attack, go." ”"Yes" Yang Fei laughed, turned around and ran.For him, fighting the war is like a child's New Year, which makes him a little impatient."
Who is the second division commander," Gao Dong yelled."
To" A white man walked out of the queue and saluted Gao Dong solemnly."
You are" Gao Dong was a little unfamiliar with the man in front of him."
Report to Comrade Deputy Commander, I am Wu Hua, deputy commander of the Second Division, and because Comrade Division Commander was injured, I temporarily act as division commander.I am a cadet who came back from the Soviet Union, and I once served as a battalion commander in the Soviet army, and the division commander promoted me to deputy division commander without exception, so you haven't seen me" Wu Hua was neither humble nor arrogant, and his eyes kept looking straight ahead when he spoke, without squinting and cowardice.Gao Dong is very satisfied with his performance, and most people will be excited when they see him Gao Dong, because some of Gao Dong's heroic deeds will even lose his temper.But this Wu Hua was able to show such composure when he saw Gao Dong for the first time, and he really had the style of a general."
Ren Minjian's personal selection of his deputy" Gao Dong looked at him with a smile and kept nodding: "It seems that this guy's eyesight is not bad, he is a good hand." ”"Then command your second division and deploy behind the first division.If any enemy wants to solve the crisis of Kaifeng, you can give me a good fight and never let an enemy in.If you launch a general attack, you will cooperate with the first division and enter Kaifeng City. ”Gao Dong said solemnly."
It's Wu Hua who takes the order" A standard military posture, a beautiful salute with raised hands, Wu Hua turned to leave, his gait was calm, and there was no half of nervousness."
It's a good seedling" Gao Dong secretly said to Hu Xinghan: "Cultivate well, maybe you will be able to take charge of yourself in the future" Hu Xinghan had already nodded with a smile: "Captain, you said so, then he must be able to do it" Most of the people were sent out, Gao Dong and Hu Xinghan stayed on the battlefield after the war, responsible for counting the captured materials and escorting the prisoners.Gao Dong is not in a hurry to work now, what should be anxious is the devils in Kaifeng City.Before he attacked, he had to exert strong psychological pressure on the devils and make his mother live in extreme pain.And at this moment in Kaifeng City, the devils stationed here have long been anxious like ants on a hot pot, the whole city is in chaos, and the streets and alleys are full of devil soldiers who have fled into the city.The wounded soldiers fell in the street and no one cared for them, and some of the wounded soldiers had stinking wounds and no one looked at them.They have been completely surrounded, and now who is in the mood to care about others, they are thinking about how they can survive the big war.The puppet troops stationed in the city have begun to move, secretly contacting whether to surrender or not.Because looking at the current situation, the Japanese are ironclad to be finished, and if they are tied up with the Japanese again, there will be only a dead end.The original Henan University has now been changed by the Japanese to the Henan Provincial Garrison Headquarters, and there are panicked figures everywhere.It was as if the army from outside the city had already entered the city, and it was a scene of the end of the world.Slamming into the operational conference room of the headquarters, Wu Guangxiong, commander-in-chief of the Japanese garrison in Henan, slammed his fist on the combat map on the wall.But he still seemed to be angry, and angrily tore the entire map to pieces, and stepped on it with his foot again before he stopped panting.All the officers around them bowed their heads, not daring to look at the commander.Wu Guangxiong raised his head violently, looked at his subordinates viciously, and roared angrily: "All speak, why don't you all talk before, don't you all have ideas before saying that the independent army will definitely not have reinforcements coming, but now how about our 60,000 army's back road has been copied, and now we can't even defend Kaifeng, will you all become dumb" "Your Excellency Commander, now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, we should temporarily avoid the edge."
It's better to withdraw from Kaifeng and take shelter for the time being," it took a long time before a devil officer whispered.Wu Guangxiong stood like a beast and gasped violently for a long time, and then said viciously: "Is there any way now?"
"Retreat immediately" He turned around hatefully, looking at the bare wall in a daze."
Report, report" At this moment, a lieutenant suddenly rushed in from outside the door, his face was even uglier than that of a dead man."
What's the matter" Wu Guangxiong turned around, his eyes were about to drip blood."
Report, Kaifeng, Kaifeng is surrounded by us.I can't get out," the lieutenant almost cried."
What is surrounded" Wu Guangxiongli felt that the sky was about to fall, how could he be surrounded so quickly:
