11pm.
After the special forces captured Ushijima Mitsune alive, they immediately hid him in the home of another traitor in Linfen.
This traitor's name is Chen Tao. He is actually an underground party member who infiltrated the enemy under the orders of General Chen of the 386th Brigade. The secret room in their house can be regarded as a safe house for underground party members in Linfen.
As soon as the war started, General Chen shared Linfen's intelligence system with Liu Yu, so after the special forces sneaked into Linfen, they hid in the secret room of Chen Tao's home.
After hiding Ushijima, Geng Wanzi immediately sent a message to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu, who had not slept for two days and one night, roared out orders immediately after receiving the news, ordering all units to launch a general attack on the various units of the 20th Division.
General Zuo has not arrived yet, so even if Liu Yu is removed from his post in the organization, his troops still obey his orders.
This time, the heavy artillery brigade did not fire for fear of accidentally injuring civilians.
But the armored brigade came up.
The Japanese in the city, after discovering the Eighth Route Army's general attack, hurriedly asked people to find Ushijima Minoru.
When the Japanese soldiers looking for someone found the Zhang family, where was there anyone in the Zhang family? No one was found and the body of a comrade from the team was found in the backyard.
At this time, the news that the division commander was missing immediately caused panic, mainly because the Japanese who were looking for someone returned to the headquarters and shouted, "The division commander is missing."
While they were looking for people, the Eighth Route Army had already approached the city defense.
Even if Uchida Ginnosuke wanted to order the people to be used as cannon fodder, it was too late.
Of course, he quickly suppressed the chaos, took over command, and then ordered all ministries to break out.
But it was not that easy to break through at this time. Liu Yu's new division, with the cooperation of the armored brigade, quickly drove back the Japanese who protruded from the city, and then rushed towards the city despite the Japanese's indiscriminate artillery fire. .
. . . . . .
This street fight lasted for two days, and it was not until 9 a.m. on March 14 that the Japs in Linfen City were completely eliminated. This time, Liu Yu did not take any prisoners. All the more than 2,800 seriously wounded Japs who were captured were ordered to be buried alive. .
Hongdong, Huozhou and other counties in the north had long been defeated by Peng Xuefeng's 122nd Division. The Japanese 80th Regiment, the 1st Supplementary Regiment and other units were all annihilated except for more than 500 people who were captured.
However, these 500 people were also secretly buried alive by Lao Peng. Ushijima Minoru's orders were not only carried out by the Japs in Linfen City, but the Japs in several other counties killed no less people than those in Linfen.
However, Lao Peng was much smarter than Liu Yu. He did it secretly, and claimed afterwards that the corpses of the Japanese were all buried. As for whether they were alive or not, I was not a doctor, so I couldn't tell whether the Japanese were alive or not... ..
Of the entire 20th Division, only the 77th Regiment in Houma in the south is left. Of course, there is also the 36th Division over there.
However, they could no longer make trouble because as early as 2 a.m. on the 11th, Political Commissar Xie arrived with the main force of the 385th Brigade.
At that time, Changwu Rennan and the airborne regiment were engaged in street fighting, and the fight was getting heated. Suddenly, they were surrounded by political commissar Xie. First, they sent one regiment to destroy the artillery positions outside the city, and at the same time, they sent another regiment to destroy them. They broke into the military station of their baggage regiment and took away all their supplies.
By the time Liu Yu captured Linfen, Political Commissar Xie had already commanded his troops to block Changwu Dennan in the north of Houma City. At this time, he had less than 3,000 Japanese soldiers in his hands.
Liu Yu had stayed up for two days and one night. When his troops invaded Linfen, he finally couldn't stand it any longer and took a nap, which lasted two days.
In fact, he woke up in the middle, but when he woke up, he heard General Zuo chatting with Political Commissar Wang outside the field camp. General Zuo's tone was obviously very angry, while Political Commissar Wang was trying to persuade him.
Liu Yu, who was afraid of being beaten, simply pretended to be asleep, and pretended to fall asleep again until Lao Wang came to call him.
Then Lao Wang told him that General Zuo had led his troops south to Houma, and that Ushijima was still hidden by the special forces.
Liu Yu sat up suddenly, and then roared: "Ask the special forces team to bring Ushijima Minune to me!"
Another hour later, the special forces team escorted Ushijima Minoru into Liu Yu's field camp.
The old devil was quite stiff, standing upright and looking at Liu Yu carefully.
Liu Yu was also looking at Ushijima Minoru.
This old devil is estimated to be 1.6 meters tall. He is a rare giant among the devils.
It was Ushijima Minoru who spoke first: "General Liu is indeed young and promising!"
Liu Yu was first surprised by the old devil's fluent Chinese, and then sneered: "Don't think I'll let you go if you flatter me. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Ushijima smiled disdainfully: "I dare to ask General Liu, have you ever seen a soldier of the Imperial Japanese Empire who is afraid of death? But before you die, I would like to ask General Liu to answer a few questions for me."
Liu Yu sat down leisurely and said, "Tell me."
"I dare to ask General Liu, who is supporting you behind you? In addition, who is directing the intelligence system of your department? It is so powerful! People from our special higher education courses are like mud cows entering the sea when they enter your territory. I will lose contact. I heard that you Chinese never deceive people who are about to die, and I hope General Liu can make me die clearly!"
Liu Yu had a smile on his face: "You want to know? I won't tell you!"
Ushijima Minoru also smiled: "He is a respectable opponent, with no leaks! But unfortunately, I also understand your party's policies and disciplines. I believe that even if you survive this time, you will not be able to lead troops in the future and can indirectly eliminate the empire." If I lose an opponent like you, I will die without any regrets!"
Liu Yu's smile immediately faded, but he immediately sneered again: "You just said you are not afraid of death? Okay! You have the guts! Then I will let you try the most enjoyable way to die in China!"
"Somebody come!"
Liu Yu shouted, and the two special forces members at the door walked in immediately.
"Take them down and execute them in Lingchi!" Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Linfen people, if he kills a few, give me a piece of his knife!"
"yes!"
Ushijima Minoru finally panicked. Of course he had heard of Lingchi's torture.
"No! Liu Yu, you can't do this. Do you really want to ruin your military career?"
Two special forces members held Ushijima Minoru and dragged him out.
"Let me go, Liu Yu! For the sake of us being soldiers, please give me a good time!!!"
"Liu Yu..."
The sound faded away.
Two hours later, by the owner of a roast duck restaurant in the city, Ushijima Minoru was publicly executed under the city gate in front of the bodies of the people he had massacred.
The roast duck restaurant owner's skills were a bit inferior, and his hands were shaking when he was slicing it, so he spent over 900 knives on slicing it.
If Liu Yu hadn't promised Pian Yidao to give him an ocean, he probably wouldn't have dared to come.
This incident naturally caused the people of Linfen to applaud and applaud.
The news spread to the south. When General Zuo heard the news, he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
Then he ran back to Linfen in a hurry, dragged Liu Yu into the camp and beat him severely.
The key point is that Liu Yu doesn't dare to fight back.
After beating General Zuo, the deputy commander-in-chief, his third uncle, the political commissar of the 129th Division, Commander He and others would all rush to Linfen to beat him.
After calming down a little, General Zuo dragged Liu Yu into the car and took him south with him.
He was afraid that Liu Yu would cause trouble again, and then he really wouldn't be able to save him.
After the two arrived at Houma, they directly transferred two main regiments and a large amount of ammunition into Houma City and handed them over to the command of Political Commissar Xie. Their troops were greatly strengthened and their ammunition was replenished. Political Commissar Xie immediately launched the final attack on the 36th Division. .
. . . . . .
Post-war statistics show that from the time Liu Yu sent his troops south on March 10 to the annihilation of the Japanese 36th Regiment on the night of March 14, the Shanxi-Hebei Border Military Region annihilated the Japanese 20th and 36th divisions, as well as the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade in one battle. regiment, and achieved brilliant results of annihilating 52,300 enemies and capturing 342 people (belonging to the 36th Division).
The establishment of the 20th Division is similar to that of the 5th Division in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is very large. It was originally a permanent draft horse division, and it was strengthened with the first heavy artillery brigade and two supplementary regiments, with a total strength of 40,000.
If the Japanese didn't know Liu Yu's details, and if the two sides had a fair, open and upright fight, Liu Yu's side might not be able to win so easily.
However, Liu Yu's unit also suffered heavy losses. The airborne regiment fought against the 36th Division and the 77th Regiment in Houma City, killing 572 people and 494 others injured, nearly half of them.
When the New 1st and 2nd New Divisions stormed Linfen and carried out subsequent street battles, they fought under Japanese artillery fire and waded through Japanese mines. In addition, the soldiers of the two divisions were a little over the top, and they wanted to kill the stubborn 20 The division was finished, so we were in a hurry to fight. According to subsequent statistics, the New First Division had a total of 1,261 killed and 1,673 wounded; the New Second Division had 856 killed and 1,325 wounded.
Among the wounded, more than 400 were disabled. Their legs were broken by Japanese mines. They could not be connected, and the broken legs were blown to pieces.
The 122nd Division had the smallest casualties, with 453 killed and 331 wounded, all casualties occurring during street fighting.
The armored brigade lost a total of 23 tanks and 17 armored vehicles, with 213 personnel killed and 89 wounded. Among them, a considerable number of the lost tanks and injured people were actually caused by Lao Gao's order to ram the wreckage of the Japanese tanks...
In addition, 74 people were killed and 57 were injured in the 386th Brigade of the Taiyue Military Region. They were mainly responsible for the territory swept by Liu Yu's command. The casualties were all from the 3rd Company of the 771st Regiment. This company defeated the 36th Division at the beginning of the battle. Two hours.
The 385th Brigade also fought against the 36th Division for two days, with 2,167 killed and 2,340 wounded. They suffered the most casualties. After all, they did not have the equipment and combat effectiveness of the airborne regiment.
The "quasi-special forces" of the Airborne Regiment, coupled with the Bayi Banners and trolls, have really incredible combat effectiveness. But just this, almost a battalion was sacrificed.
After the statistics were completed, General Zuo ordered Liu Yu's troops to rest for a day.
At 7 o'clock in the morning on March 16, General Zuo sent his troops south again, intending to completely liberate the Yuncheng Basin.
However, as soon as they passed Wenxi, they encountered the Third Army Group led by Sun Lianzhong of the First Theater Command of the National Army.
The Third Army released the forbidden cordon, claimed that Yuncheng had been occupied by them, and asked General Zuo to withdraw from the Yuncheng Basin.
That guy was so angry with General Zuo that he had caused Liu Yu to make the Three Corpses furious, and now he encountered Sun Lianzhong.
Yes, Sun Lianzhong is an anti-Japanese steelhead, but he is also a steelhead who is anti-our party. The impression of our party's senior leaders is not very good.
. . . . . .
In Wenxi County, the Eighth Route Army temporary headquarters.
"Bang!"
The table was slapped with a loud bang.
"Damn it, when I was fighting with Ushijima Minoru on the bayonet, he was still living in peace and quiet on Nakajo Mountain, and after the fight, he went out to pick peaches? I want to ask Wei Lihuang, what does this mean? "General Zuo cursed directly.
Liu Yu was even more furious: "Order the heavy artillery brigade to shoot him a basic number of shells towards the Third Army cordon! I also want to see if his Sun Lianzhong's head is really that strong!"
At this time, the door of the temporary headquarters was suddenly kicked open.
The cold wind in early spring extinguished Liu Yu's anger.
Mainly a person standing in the cold wind.
Liu Yu looked at the man and laughed: "Old Song? When did you come back? You didn't even tell me. I'll pick you up!"
Lao Song walked towards Liu Yu step by step.
Liu Yu was a little panicked, put on a Wing Chun stance, and said: "Listen to my quibbles first... No, listen to my explanation! Don't come over here, I tell you, you can't beat me even if we fight three of them." !”
Old Song walked up to Liu Yu, stared at him for a while, then raised his foot and kicked the guy hard, then turned to look at General Zuo.
"Chief of Staff, put the fire out first. This matter can be resolved through negotiation. We must not fire the first shot first... Bah! We can't fire the first shot first!"
