During this period, most of the casualties of the Eighth Route Army were caused by this howitzer.
So the top priority is to find these devils.
The two searched for two more days but couldn't find it. At this time, the Eighth Route Army headquarters also received a detailed battle report from Fan Debiao of the 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade.
"Okay, the Independent Brigade fought very well. Now the entire Shanxi Province is reduced to a mess, especially the Independent Brigade in southern Shanxi is under huge pressure.
Fan Debiao was actually able to wipe out a reinforced Japanese regiment, and then took advantage of the situation to occupy Qin County and Wuyi. By the way, he cut off the Japanese retreat north of my base area! "
The deputy director looked at the report and roared happily.
During this period, the Eighth Route Army was under great pressure. The base area of the 129th Division in Shanxi Province was surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese 108th Division.
The base area of the 120th Division includes the 20th Japanese Division and the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area includes the 21st Division of the Japanese North China Front Army.
Yutsuka Yoshio is indeed very capable, and he actually asked Sugiyamahara to cooperate with him in fighting.
"Deputy Director, Fan Debiao's fighting skills are indeed good, but he is just a reinforcement of the regiment. It is good to resist the Japanese attack. How can it be possible to annihilate them all?"
The deputy counselor hadn't seen the report yet, so he asked doubtfully.
The deputy director handed over the report and explained smoothly, "The Xiaogu brothers and sisters happened to meet each other on the way back to the base area and helped him deal with the Xiaochuan unit.
He also gave him an idea. The Japanese who pretended to be resting deceived the gates of Qin County and occupied Qin County that night.
Fan Debiao drew inferences from one example and saw that Wuyi County, not far away, was repeating his old tricks and wiped out the enemies in the north of our base area in one fell swoop.
In other words, the logistics base of the Japanese independent fifth brigade was taken down. "
When the deputy director said this, he immediately shouted: "Correspondent, send a report to the front line. There is a logistics problem with the independent mixed fifth brigade. They may run away.
Let them keep an eye on him and chase him until he defeats Wu Yi!
We can't let the Japanese go back easily, otherwise Fan Derbiao will be in danger! "
"yes!"
After reading the report, the deputy counselor said with emotion, "The brother and sister have traveled a long way around Yanhuang, and they have to fight when they come back. Thank you for their hard work!"
The deputy director was silent for a long time after hearing this, "It is indeed hard work, but there is nothing we can do about it in this era. There are many people who work harder than them,
Fortunately, the two brothers and sisters are very capable. At least they will not be bullied by others. This is better than anything else! "
The Eighth Route Army headquarters has been suppressing it for half a month, and finally got some good news.
The Japanese were not very happy. At the Yangqu First Army Headquarters, Yutsuka Yoshio looked at the map on the wall and frowned. The encirclement and suppression plan had been started for half a month.
The progress of various ministries is very good, and they have basically penetrated into the base areas of Tubal Road. However, their guerrilla warfare is too powerful and their main force cannot always be found.
One more day of encirclement and suppression plan will consume one more day of military expenditure. The North China Front Army has already complained a lot, and Yutsuka Yoshio is a little worried.
"Report, Your Excellency, Commander, the lurking personnel in Wuyi sent a telegram that our tanks were driving on Tubal Road this morning.
They deceived the city gate from the west side of the county seat, occupied Wuyi, and are now moving supplies from the county seat! "
"Nani?" Yutsuka Yoshio was stunned. Wuyi was the logistics base of the independent mixed fifth brigade that attacked the Tuba Road base in southeastern Shanxi.
There are not only food and supplies there, but also weapons, equipment and ammunition. Tubal Road's occupation of Wuyi means that the Fifth Brigade will become a lonely force.
"Where did these Tubal Roads come from? Didn't it mean that all the Tubal Road base areas were tightly surrounded?"
Chief of Staff Tanaka hurriedly advised: "Your Excellency, Commander, the most important thing now is for the Fifth Brigade to withdraw quickly, otherwise it may be surrounded by Tubal Road!"
"Yes, yes, you go immediately and send a message to the Fifth Brigade, asking them to retreat immediately!"
Yutsuka Yoshio said to his secretary.
Then he looked at the map, "To the west of Wuyi... that's Qin County. Has Qin County been lost?
Tanaka-kun, which army is in Qin County? "
As an excellent imperial soldier, Tanaka Nongji immediately replied, "Qin County is the Ogawa Regiment of the 36th Division. In order to strengthen their strength, we have also strengthened an artillery brigade and a tank squad."
"Baga, since you are so powerful, why did you let Tubal Road occupy Wuyi? Contact them immediately. I want to ask myself whether this idiot Ogawa can fight?"
Yutsuka Yoshio is going crazy. Now he has no extra troops to send out, so he can only ask the fifth brigade to retreat, hoping that they can take back Wuyi.
Otherwise, the entire encirclement and suppression campaign in southern Shanxi will become a mess.
The dispatcher in the confidential room sent the application three times in a row, but received no reply and hurriedly reported.
A bad premonition arose in Yuzuka Yoshio's heart. He hesitated and said, "Did the Ogawa United Army fail? They were completely wiped out by the Tubal Army without even sending a farewell telegram?"
Tanaka reminded: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Ogawa Wing called for fighter support the day before yesterday. With the help of aircraft, it is impossible to be completely wiped out, right?"
"Let the reconnaissance planes be dispatched and be sure to find the Ogawa Wing for me.
In addition, I contacted Wu Chuannan. He is the commander of the 36th Division and the Ogawa United Team belongs to him. He must give me an explanation! "Yatsuka Yoshio is very disappointed with Wu Chuannan, and he doesn't mind causing him some trouble at all.
Wu Chuannan led the Matsumoto Regiment to launch many attacks to the east of the Black Wind Mountain base area, but was beaten back by Hu Changshun. Now he is angry.
The secretary ran in and said, "Your Excellency, the division commander, the Xiaochuan regiment has lost contact, Qinxian has lost contact, and Wuyi has been occupied by Tubal Road.
The headquarters asked us to contact the Ogawa Wing no matter what to determine their specific situation! "
"Baga, Xiaochuan is a loser. In order for him to perform meritorious service, I equipped him with tanks and planes. But now we have lost contact. Could it be that he has been defeated and surrendered by Tubal Road?"
Chief of Staff Yoshida looked at the telegram with a bad expression, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, a whole day has passed and the Ogawa Regiment has been out of contact for too long.
I think they have probably been wiped out by Tubalu! Now we should quickly send out reconnaissance troops to search in the direction of Ogawa Regiment! "
"Yoshida-kun makes sense, go and make arrangements right away!"
Just a few hours after Mai Dennan's reconnaissance force set off, the reconnaissance plane sent out by Tsuka Yoshio brought back battlefield photos of the Ogawa Regiment being completely wiped out.
These photos were taken by reconnaissance aircraft at low altitude. The white corpses of Japanese soldiers in the photos were like pigs lying in a mess on the battlefield.
They were waiting for the Japanese logistics troops to collect their corpses.
"Bagaya Road, Xiaochuan is a loser. Not only did he die himself, but he also brought the best troops of the empire to death.
The most important thing is that there will be huge hidden dangers in the siege of southern Shanxi, and I must let all his family members go mining. "
