Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

When the telegram from the Second Cavalry Division reached He Zhengdao, Ye Jianying also smiled and said: "This time the Second Cavalry Division has made a lot of money!"

Facing Ye Jianying's jokes, He Zhengdao said calmly: "They are also blind cats and dead rats! As for the troops we dispatched tonight, the No. 11 Division has no possibility of breaking through.

However, killing the division commander of this little devil, we have completed more than half of this battle.Give orders to each unit to end the battle as soon as possible and withdraw from the combat area.Including the [-]st Infantry Division, the defense will begin tonight.

As for the blocking positions they deployed earlier, only a small number of troops need to be kept on duty.I hope the battlefield will be cleaned up before dawn.I don't want any kid alive except the one who surrendered to us. "

'What about the armored and artillery brigades? '

'Let their two brigades start moving towards Chifeng.Before receiving a combat order, the method of concealed marching was still adopted.To the grassland area on the Chifeng line, the cavalry must ensure that the walls are clear.

I believe that when the little devils can't contact the No. 11 Division tomorrow, they will know that something has happened.As long as we send a plane over to take a look, we should know the news that the No.11 Division has been wiped out by us.

However, this will only increase their panic, making them unable to guess how the No.11 Division was wiped out by us overnight.The armored brigade still cannot be exposed in a short time.

At least you and I know that the Kwantung Army also has armored units.If their armored forces come over and we want to stop them, it will be quite difficult!By the way, let the First Cavalry Division begin to harass the Xing'an League border and create some chaos. '

'You mean, let the little devil turn his attention to the Xing'an League? '

'good!Although that strategic channel, I really want to get through it as soon as possible.If we can get through the passage to the Xing'an League, then our troops may be able to attack the hinterland of Hei Province.But in doing so, our supply lines are lengthened.

The food needs to be eaten bite by bite. The next place I want to attack is the Tongliao and Chifeng areas where the Kwantung Army's defenses are relatively weak.If possible, I will advance the troops to the Chengde area in Rehe.

Maximize our current advantages, and train and beat our troops through this continuous offensive and defensive warfare.At the same time, we will continue to mobilize some garrison troops from the rear to participate in the rounds of battle, and gradually improve the combat effectiveness of our troops.

Fighting Rehe can also to a certain extent restrain the attention of the North China Front Army.If we can really win the Chengde area, I believe it will be much easier for us to attack Beiping at that time. '

Following what He Zhengdao said, Ye Jianying also felt that it made sense.Although the task of their troops is to advance to the northeast to fight, without a relatively stable rear supply line, problems will arise sooner or later.

When the [-]st Infantry Division took over the temporary camp of the Japanese army and began to recruit Japanese prisoners and clean up the battlefield.The armored brigade also began to assemble, and quickly left the battlefield in the dark, and the artillery brigade also left with it.

Even though it was already very late when the First Division came to send a telegram to clean up the battlefield, He Zhengdao still said: "Chief of Staff, draft a telegram to the Central Committee to tell the chairman and the boss about the situation of our battle.

I believe that at this time, they may not be able to fall asleep, and they are looking forward to our good news!However, I would like to mention to the chairman and the boss in the telegram that the news of this great victory will be suppressed for two days for the time being! "

'Okay, just leave this matter to me, and you can go to rest too!You haven't slept well these two days! '

'Okay, then I will leave the affairs of the headquarters to you.By the way, send a telegram to the garrison in Xilinhot, telling them to pay more attention to air defense in the past two days.I am worried about the Kwantung Army, and it is estimated that retaliatory bombing will be carried out next.

Even the several important military towns behind us will also block the telegrams to warn them.During the day, let the people gather together as little as possible.Once the fleet of the Kwantung Army is found, the air defense alarm should be sounded immediately. '

'Yes, I'm going to telegraph! '

Having partnered with He Zhengdao for a long time, Ye Jianying naturally knew that He Zhengdao's worries were justified.After all, it is well known that the Japanese army is very vengeful.

When the telegram arrived in Yan'an in the early hours of the morning, Taizu, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by the correspondent in embarrassment: "Chairman, Vice-Chairman Zhou sent an urgent telegram!"

'Okay, I'll go right away! '

Not long after, Taizu and Boss Zhu, who gathered in the war room again, looked very happy when they saw the newly received Jiedian.Even Boss Zhu smiled and said, "This ambush was really well done!"

Hearing Boss Zhu's praise, Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and said, "Boss, although they didn't suffer much casualties this time. There are a lot of shells and fuel to consume, and it's all money!"

Taizu, who was sitting by the side drinking strong tea, also smiled and said: "Enlai's words are also reasonable! However, we must admit that this ambush is something we have never tried before.

Judging from their reports, the power of armored vehicles and heavy artillery cannot be underestimated.If our Eighth Route Army had a few more troops like this, I'm afraid we wouldn't have to be as careful as we are now. "

'There will be bread, and there will be milk! '

Boss Zhu said such a sentence with a sudden smile, which also aroused the laughter of Taizu and Zhou Enlai.After all, He Zhengdao often said this before.But it must be admitted that the current Eighth Route Army has indeed grown from scratch, and its strength has improved very rapidly.

Relying on the Anti-Japanese War, they not only expanded their base areas, but also greatly improved the strength of their troops.In the past, the main forces were all proud of the captured weapons.But right now, many main forces are looking forward to the release of new weapons.

At least many of the main division commanders know that the new weapons that the arsenal is still stockpiling are more elite than those used by the Japanese army.If it weren't for the fact that the production of the arsenal couldn't keep up, I'm afraid they would have wanted to change the whole army a long time ago.

If all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army can be replaced with brand-new semi-automatic rifles, the heavy artillery regiment can be equipped with division-level troops.Then when facing the Japanese army, I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army's waist will be harder than it is now.

However, just as Taizu, Boss Zhu and others thought, that day was getting shorter and shorter.Sooner or later, the Eighth Route Army, which will undergo a comprehensive re-equipment, will shock the whole world! (To be continued.)

Chapter 55 The Kwantung Army panicked!

The day before, the Japanese army camp was buzzing with people, but when the sun jumped out of the horizon again the next day, it became extremely quiet.Except for a mess and the remaining barracks, there is no sound of anyone talking inside.

Even last night, the camp that was bombed by the Heavy Artillery Brigade did not see any craters.However, if someone digs out those buried craters, I believe they will be shocked by the things in the craters.

In order to buy time, but also to level the camp that was bombarded by the heavy artillery brigade.When the First Infantry Division was cleaning the battlefield, they directly threw all the bodies of the little devils who were killed in the bombing into these bullet holes, and then filled them with soil to bury them.

In the underground tunnels and artillery holes dug by the Japanese army, there are a lot of Japanese corpses piled up.At least for a long time, no one would dare to easily enter this abandoned temporary Japanese camp.

With the irrigation of these bloods, I believe the grass here will be more vigorous than before.In a word, unless the ground troops are sent over for reconnaissance, it is possible to find some traces of armor and heavy artillery attacks.

If it was just a simple reconnaissance from the air, I believe the little devil would not be able to see how the Japanese elite division that was camped here yesterday disappeared overnight.It may take a long time for the answer to this mystery to be revealed.

When the sun came out, the participating troops who also had a hard night also found a place to rest.Regarding the next situation, I believe that it is the little devils and not them who should worry about the headache.

As Ho Zhengdao expected, the No.11 Division, which sent a telegram to the headquarters every morning, did not send a telegram today.This made the Kwantung Army, who knew that the No.11 Division would launch an attack today, also feel very puzzled.

Until the radio station of the Kwantung Army began to contact the No.11 Division frequently, it was discovered that no matter how their radio called, the No.11 Division could not be contacted at all.This situation quickly attracted the attention of the Kwantung Army.

Umezai Jimiro, who was reported, was also very surprised and said: "What? Lost contact with the No.11 Division?"

'Yes, General!According to our regulations, originally in the morning they would send a telegram asking for instructions to fight today.But when the stipulated time came, we still hadn't received any telegram from them, so I ordered someone to call them.

I just called a few times, but the radio station of the No.11 Division did not answer.Even if their two infantry brigade radio stations also called, the result was the same, and there was no response at all.I feel something is wrong, so I am here to report to the general! '

Listening to the intelligence staff officer's words, Umezai Jimiro asked again: "When was the last time I contacted them?"

'At about six o'clock yesterday afternoon, they sent a telegram asking for instructions, informing them that they were going to officially launch an attack on the Eight Routes today.After that time, we never got in touch with them again. '

This kind of answer made Umezai Jimiro's heart sink and he said: "Baga! Will nothing happen to them in one night?"

After talking to himself, Umezai Jimiro also said decisively: "Order our reconnaissance plane to take off immediately and go to the Xilin Grassland to conduct reconnaissance. No matter what, we must find the whereabouts of No. 11 Division."

'Yes, General! '

Accompanied by the reconnaissance plane of the Japanese army, it took off very early and rushed to the place where the Japanese army camped.Seeing that there was no one on the grassland, or even the completely changed camp, the pilot of the reconnaissance plane knew that something was wrong.

As for the situation near the camp, it was no different from their reconnaissance yesterday.Even if the Eighth Route Army's position not far from the camp is still stationed by troops of the Eighth Route Army, there are also Eighth Route cavalry activities near the camp.

But the only difference is that the more than 2 Japanese troops who were still here yesterday could not see a single ghost today.In this situation, the Japanese pilots who came to reconnaissance also felt that the No. 11 Division might be in danger.

One night, an elite division disappeared out of thin air?What a horror!

When the pilot of the reconnaissance plane spoke the news with a pale face and panic.The flight captain also said in disbelief: "What? Our troops are all gone?"

'Yes, Your Excellency!Earlier we lowered the flight altitude and reconnaissance several times over the camp.Except that the camp was found to be very dilapidated, with traces of battle, nothing that belonged to us was found at all.

Even if it was a corpse, we didn't see it.Around the camp, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were no different from the previous two days.On the defensive position of the Eighth Route, we also saw people from the Eighth Route on defense. '
