97th Army Military Headquarters
Lieutenant General Zhu was enjoying his delicious lunch in a temporary tent. The forward battalion was fighting fiercely with the Eighth Route Army, but this did not affect their appetite;
The front is tight, the rear is tight!
Since we were on the march, we had a relatively simple meal at noon, a Texas braised chicken, a braised pig's trotters, a pot of soju, and a drink amidst the roar of cannons. This is the style of a general.
Chief of Staff Lin went to the front line. No one accompanied him, so he could only touch it by himself. Lieutenant General Zhu usually only had this hobby.
Maybe it was because he had been marching all morning, but his appetite was very good today. He quickly killed half of the braised chicken, and then started to gnaw on the pig's trotters;
He didn't even realize that this might be his last lunch...
A few hundred meters away, in the Tiger's ambush position, three single-barreled Wei Shen cannons had been assembled, forming a three-barreled rocket launcher in the shape of a Chinese character.
Zhou Dapao has already taken aim and is waiting for Chu Xiong to give the order!
Chu Xiong asked the radio station to inform the division commander that his side was ready to launch a beheading operation at 1:15 noon, paralyzing the military command system of the 97th Army;
The division commander was also ready for a counterattack. His battle plan was to use 5 regiments to surround the newly formed 24th Division, concentrate 7 regiments with more than 20,000 men to annihilate the intrusive 93rd Division first, and then annihilate Zhu Huaibing's troops with one regiment. The remnants of the military.
There are still ten minutes left before the general attack starts!
Chu Xiong gathered Ma Dahu's team and assigned them a new combat mission:
"Ma Dahu, your team quickly penetrated into the 500-meter range of the stubborn army's headquarters. After the artillery fire coverage is completed, you must keep an eye on them. You bring two Mulan cannons. If you find that any high-ranking officials have escaped, use Hua Mulan cannons directly." Mulan cannon sniper."
"We must not let old boy Zhu Huaibing slip through the net!"
The Ma Dahu team took the order and left!
A few minutes passed quickly. When Chu Xiong looked at the watch and pointed at 13:15, he decisively gave the order to attack.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
All three rockets were launched within 0.5 seconds, covering Zhu Badibing's tent area in a Z-shaped pattern;
Zhu Badibing was chewing on the last chicken leg. The sound of the shells blasting through the air made him turn pale with fright!
"enemy--"
"Boom boom boom!"
Three huge explosions drowned out his voice, and Zhu Badibing and his tent were all engulfed by artillery fire;
The recalcitrant troops within a few hundred meters suffered heavy casualties, and the first round of shelling paralyzed the recalcitrant army's military headquarters.
"Boom boom boom!"
Another round of artillery fire struck, and the military headquarters of the 97th Army completely let go;
"Boom boom boom!"
After the completion of the third round of artillery fire, the core area of the 97th Army was almost completely covered. The stubborn military personnel suffered a devastating blow, with most of the casualties, and other personnel were also scurrying around like headless flies.
Almost at the same time, the participating units of the 129th Division launched a fierce attack on the stubborn 93rd Division and the newly formed 24th Division;
The division's artillery regiment's 32 Weiyixiao cannons and eight 75mm field guns launched a devastating bombardment against the 93rd Division. Dozens of explosive packets smashed into the stubborn troops, causing the stubborn troops to howl like ghosts and wolves. They had never withstood such a situation. Heavy artillery fire;
After only three rounds of shelling, the 93rd Division collapsed!
They used the radio to call the military headquarters, but there was no signal at all;
Commander Cai also lost contact with several of his regiments, and there were scattered soldiers everywhere.
Master Liu was still merciful. His subordinate Wei Shen didn't even use it, and Wei Yixiao's cannon only fired three rounds!
The newly formed 24th Division and 93rd Division completely lost contact with the military headquarters. They were leaderless and the Eighth Route Army's charging horns were everywhere.
The newly formed 24th Division was surrounded by five regiments. Commander Zhang had no idea whether to break through or hold on and wait for reinforcements;
The military headquarters has been unable to get through, and there are sounds of gunfire and shouts of killing everywhere...
Although the newly formed 24th Division had not been seriously attacked yet, their breakout troops were all beaten back, suffering heavy casualties, and their heads were completely dumbfounded.
In the direction of the 93rd Division, the stubborn army had been completely defeated. More than 20,000 Eighth Route Army troops shouted slogans of surrendering their guns and not killing, and were chasing them from all directions!
The battle soon lost its suspense and began to enter the capture stage of prisoners...
The direction of the 97th Army's military headquarters is also the same. All the core personnel of the command headquarters have been wiped out. The troops have lost their backbone and are running around like headless flies. There is no one to resist at all;
If you can run away, run away; if you can't run away, just surrender and be done with it!
The opponent is the Eighth Route Army, not the Japanese. The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially!
Three hours later, the 93rd Division was completely wiped out, with more than 1,000 casualties and more than 7,000 prisoners;
After the seven regiments of the middle column annihilated the 93rd Division, two regiments were left to guard the prisoners, rescue the wounded, and clean the battlefield. The other five regiments went straight to the newly formed 24th Division.
On the afternoon of the next day, five regiments from the middle column rushed to the outskirts of the newly formed 24th Division, and ten regiments surrounded the newly formed 24th Division;
Inspired by the policy of the Eighth Route Army, Commander Zhang chose to lead his troops to lay down their weapons. The newly formed 24th Division was also completely wiped out. With more than 7,000 people under Zhang Datou, the 129th Division eliminated the newly formed 24th Division without a fight, reducing the losses on both sides. All reduced to a minimum.
The largest casualties were caused by the headquarters of the 97th Army. They were hit by Chuxiong's three rounds of Wei Shenpao. More than 1,000 people were killed or injured, including Army Commander Zhu Bading. They were later pursued by a main regiment of the Eighth Route Army with more than 3,000 people. , hundreds more were killed and injured, and all other personnel were taken prisoners.
Ma Dahu's team actually captured more than 200 prisoners. They were completely defeated. As long as someone shouted to hand over their guns but not killed, there would be piles of people rushing to surrender without any pressure at all.
Due to Chu Xiong's intervention, this anti-friction battle lasted ten days less than in history. The Eighth Route Army paid almost no price. The 97th Army was completely wiped out, and the two friction experts, Commander Zhu Huaibing and the Commander of the 93rd Division, were killed. .
At the 129th Division Headquarters, Chu Xiong also met two great masters for the first time, and he was a little excited!
"Chu Xiong, if you, the brigade commander, don't stay at your base and lead a squad of dozens of people to fight hundreds of kilometers away, do you think you are still the company commander you were before?
Be responsible for comrades, I want to report you to the boss! "
Chu Xiong was completely dumbfounded when he heard this, and quickly looked at Mr. Liu as if begging for mercy, hoping that he would beg for mercy for him.
Master Liu looked helpless. The political commissar was very principled, and he couldn't save Chu Xiong.
"Political Commissar, I already know I was wrong. Can I not make an example next time?"
"Chu Xiong, it depends on what you use to silence us!"
The political commissar played the bad role, and Mr. Liu played the red face. They wanted to give Chuxiong's wealthy people a good beating this time.
When Chu Xiong heard this, he immediately reacted. He didn't expect that two elders who had always been highly respected in the army would also make this joke to him. It seemed that the complete annihilation of Zhu Huai's army made them feel very good.
Chu Xiong decided to join in the fun, deliberately pretending to be in pain and said:
"Two old leaders, I accept the punishment!
As long as you don't tell the boss, you can say anything."
