After receiving the order, various Japanese military units broke out in units of regiments, brigades and even squadrons.
Suddenly there were Japanese troops everywhere. When the pilot of the reconnaissance plane saw this scene, he was a little confused for a while and didn't know how to report it to his superiors. After thinking over and over again, he asked the radio operator on the plane to send a telegram saying that the Japanese troops had dispersed and broken through. The general direction is the SJZ direction. As for which specific troops and which path they took, he couldn't tell at all.
The Japanese army suddenly used this move, which gave Xu Dalong a headache. He originally wanted to annihilate the Japanese 8th Division, but the Japanese army was now divided into many roads and scattered to break through, and he had no time to mobilize his troops. He could only report this news to the various troops who rushed to the battlefield, and asked them to move in the direction of SJZ. Whichever Japanese army they encountered would be killed. As for how many Japanese soldiers could be surrounded in the end, it all depended on luck. .
After all, Sun Desheng's cavalry brigade moved quickly, and they quickly arrived on the battlefield. Seeing a group of Japanese troops appearing in front of them, they chased after them. After a fierce battle, the Japanese army was completely wiped out. Unfortunately, there was only one infantry squadron, and they had no choice but to look for other Japanese soldiers who had escaped.
After a long march, the troops led by Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Cheng Xiazi crossed Guancheng County and finally caught up with the 8th Division. As a result, the 8th Division scattered and fled, leaving them unable to exert their strength. After running such a long way, I couldn't win a big battle, and I was very depressed for a while.
Xu Dalong simply gave orders to the troops to disperse. Whoever encounters the escaping Japanese troops depends on their luck.
The reconnaissance pilots in the air saw that the ground was full of fleeing Japanese troops and anti-Japanese armed forces everywhere.
Li Yunlong was very lucky. He defeated the infantry brigade left by the Japanese army to stop them, led the team to run wildly, and caught up with another Japanese army.
The Japanese army has two infantry brigades and a wing headquarters. Now the Japanese army has become frightened and has no intention of fighting. They dare not stay where they are and snipe. They can only leave a small force to block Li Yunlong's troops, while the others evacuate quickly.
Li Yunlong commanded the troops to pursue forward non-stop, and did not stop when encountering the obstruction of a small group of enemy troops. He had many ways to deal with a small force like the enemy. At most, he would leave a small force to attack the enemy head-on, and directly use large forces to outflank the enemy from both sides, quickly eating up the enemy's intercepting force.
The Japanese army fled desperately, and the Eighth Route Army desperately pursued them. The Japanese army fought all night with no rest time at all. Their soldiers were very exhausted.
The troops led by Li Yunlong turned out to be blocking the attack on the position. Their physical exertion was very small, so they took advantage and finally surrounded the Japanese army in a cornfield.
Seeing that the Japanese army was hiding in the green gauze tent formed by the cornfield, Li Yunlong took full advantage of the abundant weapons and ammunition, and fired artillery, machine guns, and rifles into the cornfield.
The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed forward, using fire cover while constantly throwing grenades and grenades forward.
At this time, the Japanese army was not only very exhausted, but also seriously lacking weapons and ammunition. They were no match for the troops led by Li Yunlong.
After an hour and a half of fierce fighting, the troops commanded by Li Yunlong completely annihilated the Japanese army and captured alive a Japanese captain.
Li Yunlong asked some troops to clean the battlefield, while others took the time to rest for half an hour, and then continued to pursue the Japanese army.
Kong Jie led his troops in pursuit. They were very tired and had bad luck. They encountered only small groups of Japanese troops along the way. The largest was only an infantry squad, which was not enough to fill his teeth.
He and his officers and soldiers were unwilling to give in. Regardless of fatigue, they gritted their teeth and continued to pursue forward.
Ding Wei and the troops he led were in a similar situation. The largest Japanese army they encountered was only an infantry squadron, which was not enough to satisfy his appetite. He led the troops and continued to advance in the direction of SJZ.
Although Blind Cheng was wearing glasses, he was very lucky. Through his glasses, he saw a large group of Japanese troops in front of him.
The Japanese soldiers in front were too tired to run away. He commanded the troops to surround the Japanese army.
After two hours of fierce fighting, more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers were eliminated, including the brigade commander of the Japanese 16th Brigade.
Blind Cheng was very excited and reported the news directly to Xu Dalong.
In order to boost morale, Xu Dalong informed all the troops of the good news.
At this time, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others were all a little impatient. Seven of them refused to accept it, and eight of them did not share. However, they had no choice but to blame themselves for their bad luck.
Li Yunlong scolded: "Damn it, Blind Cheng. Laozi worked hard here all night and didn't even catch a big fish. But Blind Cheng, this kid, is so lucky. Is this justified?"
Cui Zhenyue led the chariot brigade, which originally followed Li Yunlong's troops. Later, they disliked the slow speed of Li Yunlong's infantry, so they simply broke away from them and pursued the Japanese army themselves.
They were traveling at high speed along the highway and encountered two groups of Japanese troops. The troops were not large in size, only about a squadron.
When the Japanese saw the chariot brigade, they left the road and fled in all directions. The officers and soldiers of the chariot brigade fired at them fiercely with machine guns, killing many Japanese. Seeing them fleeing, the tank brigade was too lazy to chase them, so it continued along the road, hoping to catch other Japanese troops.
Later, they finally saw another Japanese army. I was very happy at first, but when I saw the size of the Japanese army clearly, I was dumbfounded.
The Japanese army in front had at least one infantry regiment. At this time, there was no infantry protection behind the tank group, and they really did not dare to attack the Japanese army directly.
Cui Zhenyue was very smart and decided to use tanks and armored vehicles to fight guerrilla warfare against the Japanese.
They moved their tanks and armored vehicles close to the Japanese and attacked them with machine guns and artillery, but not too close.
Seeing Japanese soldiers holding grenades and trying to blow up tanks and armored vehicles, the tanks and armored vehicles in front took the initiative to retreat to prevent the Japs from approaching. The tanks and armored vehicles behind them used machine guns to cover them and kill the Japs who tried to rush up. wipe out.
When the Japanese soldiers began to retreat, they pursued them again. In this way, they kept clinging to the Japanese army in front, and the Japanese army could not get rid of them at all.
Later, the Japanese commander really had no choice but to issue an order to disperse and break out. Thousands of Japanese troops dispersed, ranging from 200 to 300 to about 100 Japanese troops per unit, and broke out in different directions.
The tank brigade was also dumbfounded and didn't know which Japanese army to pursue. Without the protection of infantry, the chariot brigade did not dare to disperse. They could only stare at a group of Japanese troops and watch other Japanese troops escape.
In order to preserve the strength of the 8th Division, the Japanese troops dispersed and broke through, which really had a good effect. Even Bob's flying brigade felt like it was not working hard.
Bombers are most suitable for destroying fixed targets or cluster targets. Nowadays, the Japanese army is dispersed into small groups. You can't use bombers to bomb a small Japanese force of 100 people. You really can't afford to waste aerial bombs. And that expensive aviation gasoline. They could only give up bombing the Japanese army and lost the chance to receive bonuses.
While the battle was fierce on the front line, in the Mawushan Military Division Field Hospital, Su Xiaoyan, Wang Xinmin and others were doing their best to rescue Zhao Gang.
Li Yiyun was so frightened that she turned pale when she heard that Zhao Gang was injured. She came outside the operating room of the hospital and heard that Zhao Gang was dying. She couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.
Gao Zhiyong came over. He was in a very bad mood. Seeing Li Yiyun like this, he couldn't help but scolded: "Shut up! Why are you crying? Don't affect the surgery inside."
Li Yiyun was startled, and then realized his gaffe. He subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands, but tears couldn't stop flowing down.
The operation has been going on for more than an hour, and there is still no news inside. At this time, someone came to Gao Zhiyong. Gao Zhiyong was very helpless and had to follow the person to deal with the emergency.
Before leaving, he asked the guards to stay in the operating room and report to him quickly no matter what happened.
At this time, in addition to Lin Yiyun, there were several female cadres outside the operating room, one of whom was Japanese spy Tang Wenlin.
On the surface, she was also very sad, but secretly she was secretly happy that the assassination of Zhao Gang was her own work.
The independent brigade headquarters and the military division headquarters are two small courtyards in the same compound, making it very convenient for the two sides to communicate. The battle on the front line is raging, but female cadres like Tang Wenlin have nothing to do.
She excused herself to use the restroom, left her colleagues, and came to the yard of the military division headquarters. The window of the restroom could just see the door of the headquarters.
When she saw Zhao Gang alone, she shot Zhao Gang. When the guards returned after hearing the gunfire, she quickly returned to the yard of the Independence Brigade.
Since the military division headquarters and the independent brigade are all together, and the dormitories are in an independent courtyard, there are not many of them, and they are all familiar with each other. Moreover, Tang Wenlin knew the relationship between Li Yiyun and Zhao Gang, and usually deliberately approached her. At this time, she also came here for the reason of visiting Zhao Gang.
Seeing that the operation was extremely difficult, Tang Wenlin estimated that Zhao Gang might not be able to survive. She was secretly happy in her heart. The only thing she regretted was that she didn't have the chance to directly assassinate Xu Dalong. But with this credit, she can already give an explanation to her superiors.
As the battle progressed, Xu Dalong's command headquarters also continued to move forward. After entering the base area, they switched from riding horses to riding cars and headed towards SJZ.
Lin Xueying is in charge of radio communications. Due to the tense war, she has not slept a wink all day and night. At this time, she was sitting next to Xu Dalong and was dozing off.
Seeing her swaying around, Xu Dalong couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms. Lin Xueying opened her eyes, smiled at him, and fell asleep in his arms.
The driver saw this scene through the reflector, and a smile appeared on his face.
The cadres and soldiers around Xu Dalong all knew about the relationship between Lin Xueying and the captain. They were very optimistic about this pair of lovers and looked forward to the opportunity to drink their wedding wine. Seeing the two of them being so close, I felt really happy for them.
After Li Qiulin led the special forces to ambush the headquarters of the 11th independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, he had been hiding in the mountains. After the large forces of the Eighth Route Army destroyed the surrounded Japanese troops, he was ready to lead the special forces to follow Kong Jie and others. Head to Guancheng County.
As a result, he received a telegram from Li Changshui, asking him to take the special forces team back to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Li Qiulin had not had enough and wanted to fight again. Unfortunately, he had to carry out Li Changshui's order and had to lead the special force back to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Unexpectedly, the next task Li Changshui gave him immediately made him very happy. Soon he led the special forces team to follow Li Changshui directly to the SJZ direction.
Their actions were directly arranged by the commander, and their mission was to go to the Jinan Military Region of the Eighth Route Army and be responsible for the contact between the Jinan Military Region and Xu Dalong's headquarters.
After Monk Wei led the special forces into Hebei, he did not stop at SJZ, but continued north to Zhengding.
They attacked Zhengding Station, destroyed more than 300 meters of railway, and restricted the Japanese troops from Baoding and Peiping from using the railway lines to come for reinforcements.
Not only that, they also blew up the Hutuo River Bridge, blocking the Japanese reinforcements from the highway. Everything is preparing to attack SJZ.
The Japanese 8th Division has now been divided into dozens of groups, each fleeing in the direction of SJZ. Various units of the Eighth Route Army also chased after them, and the entire battlefield became a mess.
The commander and chief of staff of the 8th Division were very lucky. They were not intercepted by the Eighth Route Army on the way. They soon entered the Taihang Mountains and walked 15 miles further to Jingxing Pass.
Based on previous lessons, the commander of the 8th Division no longer dared to underestimate the Eighth Route Army. They believed that Jingxing Pass was an important checkpoint, and the Eighth Route Army would most likely send troops to block this checkpoint.
He only has two squadrons in hand now. If the Eighth Route Army really blocks the way there, they will really be in a dead end.
He decided to avoid Jingxing Pass and go over the mountains. Climbing a mountain is not an easy task. Fortunately for these young devils, the division commander and chief of staff are usually very pampered. They usually go out by car and rarely even ride horses. Letting them climb mountains in high boots would kill them.
They were out of breath after walking for a while and had to sit down to rest. The soldiers could only help them walk. In any case, they finally crossed over the mountains and entered the plains, and found a small stronghold of the Japanese and puppet troops. They had a full meal there, rested for a while, and continued to SJZ.
The wing headquarters of the 30th Regiment of the Japanese 15th Brigade, escorted by an infantry brigade, arrived at Jingxing Pass along the highway.
The members of the special operations brigade guarding the gate beat them hard with artillery, machine guns, and rifles.
At this time, the Japanese had no intention of fighting, and they did not have the confidence to capture Jingxing Pass, so they abandoned the road and went over the mountains.
