Chapter 464 The battle is over

"Your Excellency, Commander, I am going to send a telegram to the frontline troops." After hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's words, Kusuyama Hideyoshi agreed and turned around and walked out to send a telegram to the frontline support troops.

He also knew that nothing could go wrong in this situation, otherwise more than 20,000 troops would be eaten by the Eighth Route Army, and their First Army would become the laughing stock of the entire Route Army.

When the frontline support and assistance troops received the telegram from the headquarters, they immediately began to organize a death charge. Breaking the opposition at all costs, they went to rescue the 21st Division.

The pressure on the New Second Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the 358th Regiment suddenly increased, and several times they were almost opened up by the Japs to break through, but the soldiers fought back without hesitation, but the casualties were a bit heavy.

…………

On a slope outside Pinggu Town, Chu Yunfei was looking at the situation on the distant battlefield with a telescope.

"Team leader, the Japanese army seems to be desperate for their lives. They have launched three charges against us. The casualties are indeed too high. How about we get out of the way and let them pass." Fang Ligong came to Chu Yunfei and said anxiously.

Hearing Fang Ligong's words, Chu Yunfei frowned slightly, and then said firmly: "The Japanese army is so anxious to go over for reinforcements, it must be because the 21st Division can't hold on, and we can't let them go at this time.

Even if we want to be released, we have to wait until Li Yunlong finishes the work."

Chu Yunfei did this not only to do good deeds, but mainly because he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to avenge his previous revenge.

"Team, is it worth it for us to work so hard to help Li Yunlong?"

"As long as we can eliminate the Japs, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it is still worth it. If we continue to pass the order, even if the troops are finished fighting, they will not be able to let the enemy pass through our defense area." Chu Yunfei shouted to Fang Ligong.

He is also getting angry now, and he feels a little poor in his heart. Why can he, Li Yunlong, be so good but he can't? He has two shoulders to carry one head. He doesn't think he is any less than Li Yunlong.

And compared to Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei graduated from a regular military academy, and he had a sense of pride in his heart.

After Chu Yunfei's order was issued, although there was some resistance from the lower-level commanders of the 358th Regiment on the front line, they had to carry out Chu Yunfei's order. Who should be the leader? He is the biggest here.

…………

At this time, the battle in the direction of Anhua County was coming to an end. Under the attack of more than 20,000 people from the New Regiment, it only took more than three hours to break through the outer wall of Anhua County. Although the Kwantung Army's

The fighting force was very tenacious, but due to the disparity in strength, they had to retreat to the city and engage in street fighting with the new regiment.

The two sides fought fiercely in the streets and alleys, fighting back and forth. Although the new regiment had the advantage in strength, it was unable to perform at all in the street fighting.

After all, the battlefield is small and cannot accommodate so many people.

"Zhang Dabiao, what's going on? The progress has been so slow after so long?" Li Yunlong came to the city. After seeing that there was no progress for a long time, he found Zhang Dabiao and yelled at him.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhang Dabiao said aggrievedly: "Captain, you really can't blame me for this. It's the little devils who are too cunning. They didn't directly contact us, so they occupied the commanding heights of the street to stop us from moving forward. The alley was

It's so small, even if we have more people, we can't use it."

I don’t blame Zhang Dabiao for this. Everyone gets a headache, but if you have a headache, you can’t waste it here. Anhua County must be taken down in the shortest possible time, otherwise they will be in danger when the Japanese reinforcements arrive.

.

So Li Yunlong thought for a while and said: "Tear down your people and let Wei Dayong lead the elite team to top them."

At this time, Li Yunlong didn't have time to think too much. Although letting the elite team do this job was a bit overqualified and would cause a lot of casualties, he couldn't care less about it now.

After all, each member of the elite team has a submachine gun, which will definitely play a huge role in street fighting. Although the range of the impulse is not as good as that of rifles and machine guns, it is very suitable for close-range street fighting.

After Li Yunlong ordered them to go down, Zhang Dabiao quickly withdrew with a battalion of soldiers. When the Japanese saw the Eighth Route Army retreating, they thought they had given up the attack, but before they could be happy for too long, they saw a group with different equipment from before.

People rushed up.

Wei Dayong led more than a hundred soldiers from the elite squad, rushed into the alley with a submachine gun in his hand, and fired at the target, making the Japanese on the opposite side unable to raise their heads.

Wei Dayong led the charge with members of the elite squad, while Zhang Dabiao followed closely behind with a battalion of soldiers.

Soon, the soldiers of the new regiment rushed to the location of the Japanese headquarters. Once here, the Japanese resistance became more intense, but there was no way to save it. It was only a matter of time before the Eighth Route Army captured them.

Although the Japanese army was resisting, they themselves were aware of this problem, so after sending a farewell letter to Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the 21st Division decisively burned the confidential documents and the regiment flag, and then took it with him

A roomful of officers prepared to commit seppuku.

After all, they also knew that the things they did in China would not end well even if they fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, after he was captured, his family members who stayed in the mainland would be affected. But the fate did not go as planned. Just when they drew out their command swords and prepared to commit suicide, Wei Dayong rushed in with the soldiers of the elite team.

Seeing this situation, Wei Dayong rushed forward with his soldiers without saying a word and crushed all the Japanese officers and civilian personnel present to the ground.

Although Wei Dayong also hated the little Japs and wanted to kill them all, he also knew that with so many high officials, capturing them was more valuable than killing them.

The reason why the Japanese did not take all actions before Wei Dayong and others arrived was because they were delayed when they destroyed the documents. This gave Wei Dayong and his party an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

By the time Li Yunlong called to the Japanese headquarters, all the fighting outside had ended, and the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield street by street.

"Just let the first and second battalions stay and clean up. The other troops quickly go to support the new second regiment and the independent regiment according to the previously discussed plan, and try to keep the Japanese reinforcements.

Otherwise, when the Japanese reinforcements are withdrawn, a lot of effort will be wasted in order to eliminate this group of Japanese soldiers.

"Captain, I'd better take the brothers from the first battalion and leave the second battalion to clean the battlefield." After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhang Dabiao quickly stood up and said.

"Are you the leader or am I the leader? Just do as I say. You are afraid that there will be no battle to fight." Li Yunlong rolled his eyes at Zhang Dabiao angrily and said.

"Yes, leader." Although he was a little hesitant, Zhang Dabiao still agreed.

Let Zhang Dabiao lead the soldiers to clean the battlefield, let Wei Dayong lead an elite team to escort a dozen Japanese officers directly to the headquarters, and then Li Yunlong took Zhao Gang around Anhua County.

…………

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was far away in the Taiyuan command post, was devastated after receiving the telegram from the commander of the 21st Division, knowing that this battle, which had lasted for more than half a year, would end in his own defeat.

But he was still a little unwilling. Even if he failed, he still had to save the remaining Kwantung Army troops. After all, this was a team of more than 10,000 people. For them now, that was very important.

If the troops of more than 10,000 people were allowed to be eaten by the Eighth Route Army, although it would not hurt their muscles and bones, it would still cause him a lot of pain.

Especially at such an important and critical moment, without such a vital force, their First Army will no longer be able to carry out operations against the various departments of the China Army.

In the future, they will become very passive and can only allow the Chinese army to do whatever they want, while they can only watch silently.

"Commander, please don't be angry. Our first goal now is to preserve our strength. We must ensure that the 22nd Division cannot be eaten by the Eighth Route Army, otherwise it will be too late by then." Although Yoshio Shinozuka was there.

Although he was angry, Kusuyama Hideyoshi still spoke boldly.

After all, the battle plan for the past six months was designated by him. He has to bear a large part of the responsibility for the First Army to be reduced to the current situation.

If the 22nd Division is eaten by the Eighth Route Army again, then he will really have to die to apologize.

Even if Yoshio Shinozuka is willing to let him go, the North China Theater Command will not let him go. After all, this is a force of tens of thousands of people or the Kwantung Army. They have never suffered such a heavy loss since they came to China. Even if the Eighth Route Army launched the

In the so-called Hundred Regiment War, the losses they suffered were not that great.

After hearing Kusuyama Hideyoshi's words, Shinozuka Yoshio calmed down, and then said: "Nanzan-kun, go and send a telegram to the front line and ask them to withdraw."

After saying this, Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly sat on the chair and looked out the door absentmindedly. He still couldn't figure out why the war situation had reached this point.

This is the Kwantung Army with two divisions. Even if it cannot completely wipe out the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, it can still push them back.

But the plot was not written in this way. Not only did Li Yunlong's troops not be wiped out in a short period of time, but they were allowed to develop and grow in half a year.

Now they are going to destroy themselves. Is it because Nanshan Jun's military command ability is not good enough?

But he had also known Li Yunlong before. He was an out-and-out mud-legged man. He had never even attended a formal military academy and his words were incomplete. It was really frustrating to be defeated by such a person.

By the time Kusuyama Hideyoshi spread the news of the retreat to the front line, the six battalions of the new regiment had already fought with them. This was all agreed upon by Li Yunlong and the others, and was specially selected not far from Anhua County.

This way, after the new regiment takes down the 21st Division, it can just come over to support them.

This was a tough time for Chu Yunfei. Although the 358th Regiment was a strengthened regiment with more than 4,000 troops, the enemy troops on the opposite side were not weak. The two sides fought for three or four hours, and both suffered heavy casualties.

Although the quality of the individual soldiers of the 358th Regiment was not as good as that of the Japs, as a defensive party, relying on the commanding heights and fortifications, they were still able to fight the Japs.

Although they themselves suffered casualties of one-third of their troops, the Japs did not suffer the same disadvantage. There were more than 3,000 Japs in the two regiments, and only about 2,000 were evacuated in the end.

Seeing that the little devil was about to run away, although Chu Yunfei wanted to pursue him, he was still persuaded by Fang Ligong. After all, where is the strength of the little devil? The defensive battle just now was like that.

If they catch up and fight with them, the casualties will not be greater.

Although Chu Yunfei was a little reluctant, he still followed Fang Ligong's suggestion. After all, even if he chased after and eliminated all the little devils, his superiors would not reward them if he suffered too many casualties.

After all these years, he still knows how to protect himself in Mingzhe.

In the entire battle, except for Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, who let go of more than 2,000 Japs, all other Japs were wiped out by the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

Although the casualties were not small, it was all worth it. After all, as the victorious party, the wounded of the three regiments could receive treatment.

Unlike the Japs' wounded, as the losing side, even if there were wounded, they would be dealt a last blow by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Anyway, according to Li Yunlong's wishes, if he didn't save a single prisoner, except for the group of Japanese officers who were captured when he attacked the 21st Division, all the other little Japs would be killed.

Anyway, ordinary little Japanese soldiers are not as valuable as those officers. Even if they are captured by themselves, they will only waste food.

After the battle, Li Yunlong ignored the fatigue of the soldiers, and after consulting with Ding Wei and Kong Jie, all three regiments took the initiative to attack the other five counties around Ping'an County.

It's just a good time to expand the territory when the Japanese troops are empty, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the little Japanese when they calm down.

Because the Japanese troops came to participate in this battle, there were not many Japanese soldiers left in the other five counties. Most of them were puppet troops. Therefore, the troops sent by Li Yunlong did not waste much effort and defeated the five county towns.

Already.

But so far, in southwestern Shanxi, although the Eighth Route Army has only three regiments, it occupies these seven counties.

Distributed according to strength, Li Yunlong's New Regiment occupies the defense area of ​​three counties, while the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment each occupy two counties.

All the seizures of each regiment belonged to each regiment. In order to thank Kong Jie and Ding Wei for helping him stop the Japanese, Li Yunlong also gave part of his share of the seizures to the two regiments.

After all, they were all members of the Eighth Route Army, and they were in the same area. Li Yunlong couldn't just eat alone without looking up, or he would have no friends if he kept doing this.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment seized by the New Regiment in this battle were indeed quite large. More than 10,000 rifles were seized from the Japanese alone, as well as the puppet troops that followed.

Even if a part of it is separated, the remaining part will be enough to expand the new regiment.

In the days after the battle, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had been busy with the management of the three counties, and he even put the little Japs aside. Because Li Yunlong knew that the Japs were now unable to make a comeback and had lost two divisions.

After the Kwantung Army, they were no longer a threat to themselves.
