The correspondent who recorded the order also seemed very excited and excited.They received telegrams from the front line every day, and they were also waiting for this moment.After all, the tactics advocated by the independent column are mostly offensive tactics!
On the other hand, the other troops participating in the war also seemed enthusiastic when they received the telegram from He Zhengdao.If this time, the Kwantung Army division that marched into Suiyuan can be wiped out, I believe that the independent column will once again become the focus of all parties.
After all, the reputation of the Kwantung Army is very loud, far surpassing those of North China and Central China.If this Kwantung Army Division can be annihilated, I am afraid that all countries in the world who are paying attention to this national war will really look at the Eighth Route Army with admiration!

Wang Tianlin, who commanded the Second Division to fight against the Fourth Division in Datong, also seemed very happy to receive the telegram from He Zhengdao.At least from this telegram, it can be seen that it is finally the turn of the independent column to switch from defense to offense.
During this period of time, the Second Division and Fourth Division, which were responsible for blocking the encirclement and suppression army formed by the North China Front Army, also fought very hard.It's just that compared with the Kwantung Army Division attacking Suiyuan, which is equipped with heavy artillery and tanks, the pressure here is lighter.
But even so, the attacking Japanese army had a lot of casualties, and the blocking second and fourth divisions also suffered a lot of casualties.But in terms of overall battle losses, the Eighth Route Army still has the advantage.After all, they are on the defensive side.
With He Zhengdao's order for a full-scale counterattack, the originally hidden main force division, the quick response division composed of the artillery brigade, the automobile regiment and the armored regiment, and even the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Army Division, which had not moved much, finally took action.
Sugiyama Moto, who just received a rescue telegram from Yamamura Seitaro, still felt a little unbelievable. He also didn't understand why the No.12 Division, which had been victorious, suddenly asked for help when it arrived in Zhuozi City.
Moto Sugiyama, who also served as the head of this division before, knew very well that Seitaro Yamamura would not send a telegram to ask for support unless the matter was critical.A telegram will come, which means that the No.12 Division is really in trouble.
Finding the chief of staff of the front army, Sugiyama Moto asked directly: "Yamashita-kun, can you still deploy troops to support the No. 12 division from the Wulanchabu side? Where are the troops closest to them?"
Yamashita, who had read the telegram, also did not expect that the No.12 Division would send a telegram asking for help.Just as Sugiyama was surprised, he always believed that the No.12 Division should be able to smoothly push the troops to Guisui City.
But this telegram for help made Yamashita Fengwen realize that the No. 12 Division might really be in trouble.But when Sugiyama Moto asked whether he could send infantry to assist him, Yamashita Fengwen looked a bit bitter.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Excellency, Commander, in order to organize this campaign to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, we have mobilized all the troops we can mobilize. In addition to the direction of Datong and Suiyuan, we have also mobilized a lot of troops for the war in Taiyuan.
If you want to find an infantry closest to them for support, you can only deploy infantry from Datong.But according to the information we have obtained, the area from Zhangjiakou to Suiyuan is now under the substantial control of the Eighth Route Army.
The most troublesome thing is that the railway there has never been repaired.Even if our troops can break through the blocking of the Eighth Route Army and want to join the No.12 Division, it is estimated that there will be too little time.
As for the Chahar Zhonghou Banner, which is still under our control, most of them are only stationed there by the Mongolian army commanded by Li Shouxin.Their fighting power is probably useless at all.Even after they leave, there will be dangers in those places. "
'idiot!When, since our North China Front Army couldn't even draw out the reserve troops of a brigade? '
Sugiyama Moto seemed very surprised and shocked by Yamashita's answer.As the commander of the North China Front Army, Sugiyama also knows that almost all the main forces of the North China Front Army are currently in combat.
Even today's Beiping City is actually very empty of troops.If you don't know, there are no Eighth Route Army rebels in the Beiping and Tianxie areas.It is estimated that Sugiyama Yuan did not dare, so he dispatched a brigade to rush to East Jidong to calm the chaos.
Listening to Sugiyama Moto's question with a gloomy expression, Yamashita Fengfumi also smiled wryly: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that with our current military strength, even controlling the existing occupied areas is somewhat difficult.
Whether it is the Ulanqab area or the current Zhangjiakou area, there are not many troops stationed there.Most of the troops stationed in these places are the Imperial Association Army we have incorporated.If the troops are transferred again, I'm afraid something big will happen. "
'Now what?Mr. Yamamura has already sent a telegram, hoping that we will send at least one infantry brigade to cooperate in the battle.Are we going to telegraph him that we are out of troops?This is too ridiculous, right? '
As the commander of the North China Front Army, Sugiyama Yuan knew very well that he was able to invite the No.12 Division this time, more because of his connections.The most important thing is because he had previously served as the division commander of this division.
If it is the No.12 division, there is really something wrong.It is almost needless to think that he, the commander of the North China Front Army, has almost come to an end.Sugiyama Moto undoubtedly could not accept this possible outcome.
On the other hand, Yamashita Fufumi, who heard this, looked at the map and the telegram of the No.12 Division, and finally said: "Your Excellency Commander, our best solution at present is to hope that the No.12 Division will call them back. The infantry brigade sent before.
At the same time, an infantry brigade was drawn from the Datong battlefield and approached the Zhuozi area in a hurry.Even if the attack on Datong is given up, the main force of the encirclement and suppression forces must be gathered to open a passage for the reinforcements.
Even if you can't break through the blocking net that the Eighth Route Army may establish, you must tell the head of the Shancun division that in order to avoid unexpected situations, it is best to let the main force find a way to retreat, and the action must be fast!
According to my analysis of He Zhengdao from the Independent Column, his combat layout is very strange.The most important thing is that this independent column of the Eighth Route Army has expanded its troops very quickly.He has at least [-] troops that can be mobilized.
Once they start to encircle the No.12 Division, then the No.12 Division may be surrounded.The most urgent task is to withdraw from the battle first, so that the distance between them and us can be shortened, so that the Eighth Route Army has no chance! "
Even if you don't want to admit that the independent column is capable of encircling and annihilating the No.12 division carrying heavy artillery brigades and tank brigades.The telegram sent back from the No.12 Division informed the Eighth Route Army that they had a secret weapon that could easily destroy their tank armor.
This means that the tank brigade, which was originally a killer weapon, seems to be somewhat useless.The supplies in the rear can't be sent at all at this moment.This kind of situation that was not considered during the war really made Yamashita Fufumi deeply worried.
Once the No.12 Division is wiped out, I am afraid that the Army Headquarters will be shaken by it.The annihilation of an elite Kwantung Army division will also be a heavy blow to the morale of the Chinese dispatched troops.
After all, since the Kwantung Army entered China, it has had the prestige of the Iron Army.Even the Soviet Far East Army, which was confronting it, would not dare to provoke the Kwantung Army easily.If a division is wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, it would be a disgrace to the Japanese army.
At least Moto Sugiyama, who invited the No.12 Division to cooperate in launching the encirclement and suppression war this time, will also bear a lot of responsibility for this.Once Sugiyama Yuan is unable to be the commander, he is afraid that he, the chief of staff, will also be unstable in the North China Front Army.
Listening to Yamashita's answer, Sugiyama Moto could only agree with his decision even though he was very unwilling.After all, compared to winning this siege, what he wants to do most at this moment is to ensure the safety of the No. 12 Division.
Not long after, Seitaro Yamamura, who was waiting at the command post for a telegram from the North China Front Army, also looked very surprised and said, "Hey! They actually asked us to transfer back to the No. 20 Fourth Infantry Brigade?"
Looking at the reply sent by the North China Front Army, it stated that it had ordered the troops to attack Datong and began to break through the blockade of the Eighth Route Army with all its strength, hoping to come and join them as soon as possible.This point was directly ignored by Yamamura Seitaro.
In his opinion, by the time the North China Front Army that attacked Datong arrived, the day lily would probably be cold.The transfer back to the No.20 Fourth Infantry Brigade means that their plan to attack Suiyuan this time has completely become a joke.
Nearly [-] troops were lost, hundreds of tanks were damaged, and a large amount of weapons and ammunition of the division was consumed. In the end, they had to retreat.If this spreads, many people will think that he is too incompetent as the head of the division!
Only the chief of staff of the division who also watched the telegram said in a timely manner: "Your Excellency, the division chief, it seems that our analysis is correct. Now if we want to evacuate back to Manchuria, we can only rely on ourselves.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, we must prepare for the retreat in advance.As long as we keep the elite troops of the division, we will still have a chance to take revenge on the Eighth Route Army in the future.If we continue to delay, I'm afraid there will be accidents! "
From the perspective of the chief of staff of the division, what he was most worried about before really happened.The seemingly wise division of troops before now undoubtedly seems very unwise.They all underestimated the combat strength of the Eighth Route Army in front of them.
Hearing the chief of staff's suggestion to retreat again, Yamamura Kiyotaro still said unwillingly: "If we retreat now, won't all our previous efforts be in vain? Aren't those brave warriors sacrificed in vain?"
Your Excellency, head of the division, to borrow a Chinese saying, the green hills left are not afraid of running out of firewood.Although this time, we lost an infantry brigade and many tank units.But our heavy artillery brigade is still intact.
As long as we can join the No.20 Fourth Infantry Brigade and return to our control area smoothly, then our losses can be minimized.If I continue to stay here, I am afraid that I am in danger of being surrounded by the Eighth Route Army! '
Just when Yamamura Seitaro was in trouble, a 'report' interrupted their discussion.Seeing the intelligence officer with a flustered expression, Yamamura Seitaro said in his heart, "What happened?"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you have just received a telegram from the No.20 Fourth Brigade.They were surrounded by a large number of main forces of the Eighth Route Army on the border of Wuchuan.From the current reconnaissance situation, there are at least 3 to [-] troops surrounding them.
Even the Chahar Middle Banner and the Back Banner were suddenly attacked by unknown armed forces.The troops we stationed there are now surrounded. The No.20 Fourth Brigade sent a telegram, hoping that the main force will provide tactical guidance! '
With this No. 20 Fourth Infantry Brigade being surrounded, even the situation is very dangerous telegram sent.Seitaro Yamamura also really realized that he might have fallen into the Eighth Route Army's trick to lure the enemy deep! (To be continued.)
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
For the new fifth division stationed in the direction of Wuchuan, the successful formation this time is naturally also due to the Kwantung Army's attack.He Zhengdao made this decision in order to integrate the troops and increase their combat effectiveness.
Guo Junjie, who is the commander of the New Fifth Division, knows how difficult it is to be promoted from the commander of the Daqingshan garrison brigade to the commander of the New Fifth Division.Most importantly, He Zhengdao's appointment is also a full affirmation and trust in him.
It can be seen from the formation of the troops of the new fifth division that He Zhengdao still attaches great importance to him.In addition to the transfer of elite garrison troops from the column, a group of experienced grassroots commanders were also transferred from the column to enrich the troops.
Even the division leadership team of the New Fifth Division, except for him as the division commander, the rest of the division political commissar, chief of staff and political director are all military and political cadres who Guo Junjie knows are very capable in the independent column.
As the first battle of the formation of the new fifth division, the whole division undoubtedly wants to fight this battle well from top to bottom.After all, no one wants to miss such an opportunity to be promoted from the garrison to the main force, and also wants to prove that they have the ability to be promoted.
In addition to building blocking fortifications on the Wuchuan border before, they also dispatched many elite squads, the Japanese No. 20 Fourth Infantry Brigade slowly coming in their direction.Even in Chahar Zhongqi, this brigade is also struggling.
With the cooperation of the local guerrilla forces, this infantry brigade has suffered a lot on the way to Wuchuan.Even the tank regiment that cooperated with them, many of them broke down halfway and needed to be sent back to repair them before they could be used.
