From the enemy headquarters in front of the Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong, a burst of cheers suddenly came out, which meant that the battle in Chenjiazhuang ended with the Eighth Route Army's complete victory.
Chief of Staff Liu Senzheng, with a happy expression on his face, reported to Huang Yu the battle report that had just been compiled by the participating troops. His face was filled with joy and he was very happy.
"Xiao Huang..."
"In the entire encirclement and annihilation battle, Wang Lin achieved the greatest results."
"Continuously broke through two lines of defense of the Japanese army, successfully raided the Japanese division headquarters, and then used the division headquarters as a base to successfully eliminate a reinforced Japanese brigade. At the end of the battle, the Japanese artillery position was also taken down."
"Four heavy artillery pieces were seized, and eight mountain field artillery pieces were intact."
"At the end of the battle, the artillerymen went to the Japanese artillery positions to take a look. At least ten artillery pieces could be repaired and used."
"In the battle at Chenjiazhuang, we captured more than 20 field artillery and heavy artillery."
"This does not include the eight field guns captured by the participating troops when they narrowed the scope of the Japanese army's activities before the general offensive."
"The twenty-sixth regiment ranks second in terms of results."
"The First Battalion of the 26th Regiment followed Wang Lin and rampaged through the belly of the Japanese army, wiping out a large number of elite Kwantung Army troops."
"The rest of the troops followed Captain Li to continuously break through the two Japanese defense lines and eliminate the Japanese division commander Lieutenant General Sakuragi who wanted to break out."
"But if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred."
"The greater the result, the greater the price."
"Especially the two reinforced battalions commanded by Wang Lin."
"Less than 500 of the more than 1,300 participating troops left the battle, and all other soldiers died."
"The remaining troops of the 26th Regiment also lost more than 500 lives and nearly 100 were seriously injured."
"According to statistics, we have sacrificed a total of 3,289 people and seriously injured 758 people in tonight's decisive battle... There are still more than 5,800 people in the army who can continue to fight."
"Everyone come around..."
Huang Yu did not express any opinions on this victory and walked directly to the map.
After finding the light infantry regiment sent by Baoding, he introduced: "Duan Peng sent a message."
"Ningji Okamura dispatched a light infantry regiment from Baoding to reinforce Chenjiazhuang."
"We still have less than twenty kilometers to go, and we can reach here by marching in more than three hours."
"Although our army suffered heavy casualties in the decisive battle, it still had absolute superiority in artillery fire and manpower."
"There is no doubt that the terrain advantage is also in our hands."
"I decided to continue fighting and eat this fat piece of meat that Okamura Neji put in our mouths."
"The 26th Regiment and Junping Guard Regiment suffered the most casualties and will not participate in the encirclement and annihilation battle."
"But you can't be idle either."
"In order to introduce this light infantry regiment into the pocket formation, you must perform a show here and continue to encircle and annihilate the Kwantung Army's middle mopping up troops that have been eliminated by us."
"I don't care what method you use, the momentum must be loud."
"Show me a decisive battle scene involving tens of thousands of people, so that the Japanese reinforcements can completely believe that their middle mopping up troops are still fighting, and strengthen their determination to continue to reinforce Chenjiazhuang."
"The remaining three regiments and all the mountain artillery units moved five kilometers south of Chenjiazhuang. We deployed pocket formations in Chenjia'ao to ambush all incoming enemies."
"The artillery sends observers to the battlefield in advance to calculate the shooting elements to ensure that after the battle begins, the artillery troops participating in the battle can hit where they are directed."
"The cavalry troops join the battle together."
"Time is limited, and the pocket array we have hastily arranged may not be foolproof."
"If any Japanese find a loophole in the pocket formation, break out of the pocket formation."
"The cavalry is our last line of defense. We must wipe out all Japanese troops and not let anyone slip through the net."
…………
At the enemy headquarters of the Solitary Regiment, Li Yun Hailong was sitting in his chair, lost in thought, and sighed deeply every time he read the telegram in his hand.
"If I had known that there was going to be such a big battle in Chenjiazhuang and that Kong Er was going to Manchu City, I would have stayed there."
"Lieutenant general, commander of the division. I have been fighting against the Japs for so many years, but I have never seen the commander of the Japs division."
"In the end, that brat Xiao Huang actually killed a lieutenant general and division commander."
"I saw the results he gained in Chenjiazhuang."
"The devils we killed here will soon be no longer good."
"I don't know if I don't compare. I'll be shocked if I compare."
"Captain Li..." Zhou Wei, commander of the 25th Regiment, also looked envious.
He and Li Zhi, the commander of the 26th Regiment, are old comrades in arms, and they once worked together.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after the two separated, Li Zhi would be lucky enough to kill a Japanese lieutenant general and division commander.
This kind of luck is simply harder to come by than pie falling from the sky.
Thinking that after they finished attacking Chenjiazhuang, they would go to encircle and annihilate the reinforcements sent by Baoding, I felt even more envious, and asked immediately.
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang decided to pursue the victory and kill the light infantry regiment sent by Baoding. Do you think they have a good chance of winning this battle?"
"Kill one thousand enemies, but suffer eight hundred losses."
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang's troops must have suffered heavy casualties in the decisive battle."
"The troops have just experienced a big battle. They don't even have time to rest. Isn't it too risky to go straight into the next battle?"
Li Yunlong shook his head and replied firmly: "If someone else fights this battle, it might be a bit risky."
"Even if this light infantry regiment is eaten, the participating troops will pay a huge price."
"The person fighting this battle now is Xiao Huang, so there is no problem in staying together."
Seeing how much Li Yunlong trusted that young man Huang Yu, Zhou Wei's face was full of doubts and he immediately asked: "Is there any difference?"
"The reason is very simple..." Li Yunlong immediately said his reason.
"If someone else directs this ambush, they will definitely focus on infantry ambush."
"After all, this is the common combat method used by our Eighth Route Army to deal with the little devils."
"Xiao Huang won't fight like this."
"This kid is best at taking advantage of artillery fire and using strange moves."
"The Japanese light infantry regiment is only equipped with mortars and a small number of mountain artillery."
"Xiao Huang holds forty or fifty mountain field guns and heavy artillery. He can completely annihilate the Kwantung Army's middle route mopping up troops and capture dozens of mountain field guns. There must be sixty or seventy in total."
"With his fighting style, he will definitely concentrate all the mountain artillery to hit the Japanese light infantry regiment with several rounds of volley fire first."
"Use artillery fire to kill and injure a large number of Japanese troops."
"Although this guy is not an artilleryman, he has a lot of experience in commanding artillery operations."
"The artillery will definitely be asked to calculate in advance all the positions of the pocket formation to shoot Zhu Yuan. After the battle starts, where there are more Japs gathered, the artillery shells will hit."
"Before the infantry joins the battle, a light infantry regiment will be killed by artillery, with one or two thousand people killed."
"The remaining little Japanese will also fall into chaos under the artillery fire, and their morale will be low."
"Several regiments of infantry took the opportunity to join the battle. They quickly crossed the battlefield, divided and surrounded them, and did not give the remaining Japanese troops a chance to gather. Then they focused their artillery fire to defeat them one by one. After using such an offensive method, do you think the little Japanese army might be his opponent?"
