Because the Japs on the way had been basically eliminated, hundreds of soldiers did not receive any obstruction. In just ten minutes, they arrived at the brigade command post and stood in front of the brigade commander Bruce Lee: "Report to the brigade commander,
The directly affiliated battalion successfully completed its mission, including capturing a Japanese lieutenant general division commander, two major general brigade commanders, three colonel commanders, and a colonel chief of staff. The remaining officers at all levels have been eliminated by our department. Please ask the brigade
Long instructions.”
Looking at the little Jaap who was tightly tied up by the soldiers in front of him, Brigadier Bruce Lee was very happy: "Okay, good fight. I have seen the fighting process of your direct battalion. Now the task of your direct battalion is to give me
Take good care of these prisoners. You must know that these prisoners are treasures. When the time comes, I will personally ask the commander and political commissar for credit for your direct battalion..."
Hearing the brigade commander's affirmation of the victory of his direct battalion, battalion commander Li Shaohua immediately showed a smile on his face and replied loudly: "Yes, brigade commander. The direct battalion promises to complete the mission and must take good care of these prisoners."
At this moment, the hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield has come to an end. Only a handful of little Japs are still making the final resistance among the large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers. The entire battlefield is slowly becoming calmer. After the fierce hand-to-hand combat,
Finally, the surviving soldiers, under the command of commanders at all levels, began to clean up the bloody battlefield...
Finally, ten minutes later, the last kid from the Japanese 109th Division was penetrated by several bayonets at the same time and fell into a pool of blood. The entire 109th Division was finally removed from the Japanese army organization... At the same time
, the entire battlefield also rang with the excited roars of the soldiers: "Long live...Long live..."
With the end of the battle, the commanders of the second and third main regiments of the Guard Brigade were under direct command of the entire battle. They immediately ran to the brigade headquarters with a smile on their faces and reported excitedly: "Report to the Brigade Commander, Guard Brigade
The Second Regiment and the Third Regiment of the Guard Brigade successfully completed their mission. None of the little devils at the foot of the mountain escaped the net and were all eliminated. Please give instructions to the brigade commander..."
"Pah..." After receiving affirmative answers from the two people, Bruce Lee couldn't help but feel excited. He hit the bullet box in front of him with one hand and said excitedly: "Okay, that's a great shot. There's no such thing."
It’s a disgrace to our security brigade. Chief of Staff, immediately send a report to Commander Gao to report the good news that our security brigade has completely wiped out the remaining troops of the Japanese 109th Division. Go now.”
Looking at the departing chief of staff, Bruce Lee looked at the two regiment commanders in front of him and continued to ask: "Commander Hu and Commander Zhang, they annihilated nearly 4,000 little Japs, and they basically relied on the soldiers to use hand-to-hand combat.
, destroy the little devils one by one. How about the casualties of the troops..."
"Reporting to the brigade commander, a total of 349 soldiers of our second regiment were killed and 653 soldiers were injured. 195 of them were seriously injured and temporarily lost their combat capabilities. The entire unit lost more than half..." Hu Zhengping, the commander of the second regiment, stood up first.
Said. "Reporting to the brigade commander, a total of 407 soldiers of the third regiment were sacrificed and 520 soldiers were injured, including 99 seriously injured. The army also lost more than half..." Zhang He, the commander of the third regiment, then replied.
Hearing that there were more than 2,000 casualties in the army, but less than 1,000 soldiers died directly. Bruce Lee was very sad at first. However, when he thought of the soldiers who had suffered 2,000 casualties, they just used their hands to
With rifles and bayonets in them, they used the hand-to-hand combat that the Japanese army was very good at to eliminate a total of four thousand Japs, and all of them were directly eliminated. The ratio of casualties between the enemy and ourselves reached an astonishing 2:1. Bruce Lee's face immediately showed a trace of anger.
smile…
Thinking of this, Bruce Lee couldn't help feeling proud, because this battle fully demonstrated the combat effectiveness of his guard brigade. Especially the individual combat effectiveness of the unit, under certain circumstances, was already stronger than that of the Japanese field infantry division.
Combat strength. "Okay, comrades are all doing well. Staff Wang, immediately notify the field hospital to be prepared to receive a large number of seriously wounded people. Tell them to use the best medicine and give me all these seriously wounded people as much as possible."
Rescue them. If the medicines are not enough, immediately ask for help from the divisional field general hospital... In short, we must try our best to ensure the lives of these seriously injured people. They are all heroes of our guard brigade and our Eighth Route Army."
Seeing the brigade commander looking at him, the combat staff officer named by brigade commander Bruce Lee immediately saluted and replied: "Yes, brigade commander, I promise to complete the mission and will do my best to treat these seriously injured people..." said
After finishing, Staff Officer Wang quickly left the brigade headquarters and ran to the field hospital behind the headquarters.
As the surviving commanders and fighters of the guard brigade began to busy cleaning the battlefield and treating various wounded people, Commander Gao Yuan of the Second Division Headquarters was in the headquarters, looking at the huge military map in front of him without blinking, with a look on his face.
An anxious look. Similarly, as the divisional political commissar Chen Dazhong, he also frowned and glanced at the telegraph room next to the headquarters from time to time, waiting for something...
Suddenly, when the political commissar's eyes once again looked at the curtain at the door of the telegraph room next to him, the divisional chief of staff suddenly opened the curtain and walked out of the telegraph room quickly, with a smile on his face: "Commander, political commissar,
Good news...Good news from the Guard Brigade, the 109th Infantry Division is finished."
After hearing the next few words, the faces of the two people who had been frowning immediately relaxed. At the same time, a pair of eyes stared unblinkingly at the telegram held by the chief of staff in front of them. See
The two anxious people, the chief of staff continued: "Commander, political commissar, I really didn't expect that the individual combat effectiveness of the Guard Brigade was so strong. In terms of stabbing, they were even better than the little Japs... Brigadier Li of the Guard Brigade reported,
Relying on hand-to-hand combat, the Guard Brigade used rifles and bayonets to annihilate the remaining troops of the Japanese 109th Division at the heavy cost of more than a thousand sacrifices and injuries, and captured the lieutenant general and two major generals of the 109th Division.
The brigade commander, three colonel commanders, and a colonel chief of staff... You know, this is the first time since the establishment of our *** division that we have captured so many senior Japanese officers..."
"What are you talking about? Relying on hand-to-hand combat, we annihilated all the little Japs and captured the enemy's division commander... It was a good fight. It was worthy of the guard brigade led by the commander himself. It was a great fight... Chief of Staff, immediately send the guard brigade to
The victory telegram and the statistics of the battle results from our division will be combined and reported to the military region, and the victory will be reported to the military region..." After listening to the chief of staff's report, a look of excitement appeared in the eyes of the two people almost at the same time.
"Yes, Commander, I will report it to the military region immediately." The chief of staff also left the headquarters with a smile on his face...
At this moment, because the encirclement and annihilation battles in eastern Shanxi and northern Shanxi have begun. Liu Hua, as the supreme commander-in-chief of the military region, has left the ward where he has been for half a month and returned to Taiyuan City.
Military district headquarters…
Although, as the commander, Liu Hua has absolute confidence in the ongoing battles in the two places, after all, the two battles are related to the future of his army division and the life and death of tens of thousands of troops. I just returned
Liu Hua from the headquarters came to the war room immediately and began to pay attention to the specific process of the two battles...
"Commander, it has been a day since the battle started. There has been no news from either place. Do you think there will be any accidents..." Luo Ronghuan, as the political commissar of the military region, also had a look on his face in the face of such a big battle.
With a sad face. Seeing that it would be dawn in another hour, I couldn't help but ask Commander Liu Hua, who was sitting motionless in front of the map.
"Political Commissar, as the top commander of the *** division, we must stay calm. We must trust the commanders on the front line. Besides, the Japs are now deep in our base area. Even if we cannot win, we can still successfully fight with the Japs.
Disengage. There is no telegram now, which means the battle is going very smoothly. We just need to wait patiently..." Although Liu Hua was also very anxious, seeing the sad face, he had not had a good rest for several days.
The political commissar quickly offered words of comfort...
Liu Hua's words did not seem to have much effect on the political commissar at this moment. Just after Liu Hua finished speaking, the entire war room once again fell into silence. The only sounds outside the war room were the patrols going back and forth.
The footsteps of the troops...
For one hour, the telegraph room did not receive any news, but the sky outside was already bright. For two hours, the sun had risen from the east, but there was still no news from the telegraph room... Three hours, breakfast was delivered by the cooking class
I have posted this message countless times, but I still haven’t received any message...
"Commander, would you like us to send a telegram to Wang Nanhu and ask about the battle. It is already daybreak. If nothing else, the Little Devil's reinforcement plane has also arrived on the battlefield. But there is still no news. I
I'm really worried. What if something unexpected happens? That's more than 20,000 elite troops, almost one-third of our *** division's strength..." Looking at the sun that had gradually risen, the political commissar couldn't hold his breath at first.
He suggested to Liu Hua in front of him...
"Political Commissar, you can't send telegrams. We can't interfere with the command of the frontline commander. Once we send the inquiry telegram, we are indirectly urging the frontline commander. This is very detrimental to the frontline commander's command of the battle...Political Commissar, don't worry, even if
Don't worry about the kid's plane coming, don't forget, there are still two air defense regiments of air defense troops in Wangnan Lake..." Liu Hua didn't even think about it and answered immediately, with a very affirmative tone.
"Hey, is this kind of news really uncomfortable?" The political commissar sighed silently, sat next to Liu Hua, picked up a bowl of millet porridge that had been heated many times, and began to eat.
.
Just as political commissar Luo Ronghuan sat down, a burst of hurried footsteps quickly reached the ears of the two people from far to near. At such a sensitive time, the two people did not hesitate at all. They turned their heads at the same time and looked.
Heading towards the door of the war room, I saw Chief of Staff Li Qing, holding a telegram and running towards the war room with excitement on his face.
"Commander, political commissar, good news... Good news for the third division, Commander Wang won a great victory. The 14th Infantry Division was completely wiped out by our army..." Seeing the commander and political commissar stand up at the same time, he blinked.
Looking at himself without blinking, Chief of Staff Li Qing could not suppress the excitement in his heart and quickly replied loudly...
"What? The 14th Division was completely wiped out... How is it possible? Didn't Wang Nanhu say it was defeated? Why did it become a total annihilation now?" Commander Liu Hua opened his mouth and suddenly recovered from the shock.
He asked with a shocked face...
"Commander, political commissar. The reason why we were able to achieve such great results this time is that the engineering regiment and artillery regiment of the third division made a great contribution...Li Guohua, the leader of the engineering regiment, led less than a thousand engineers and used 500 kilograms of high explosives.
and 2,000 rounds of artillery shells to completely annihilate a main regiment of the Japanese army. Zhou Zhigang, the commander of the artillery regiment, used the plan of sudden artillery fire to destroy all the artillery of the Japanese artillery regiment... These two regiments laid an extraordinary foundation for the annihilation of the 14th Japanese Division.
A good foundation..." In the stunned eyes of the two people, Chief of Staff General Wang Nanhu briefly recounted the process of annihilating the 14th Japanese Division...
"Okay, good fight... This time, I must personally reward Commander Zhou Zhigang and Commander Li Guohua for meritorious service. The fight was great... Especially Commander Li Guohua, with a thousand engineer regiments, he completely annihilated the Japanese army."
Main force unit, this sets a precedent for our *** division..." Commander Liu Hua, who was the first to react from the shock, couldn't help but pat his head and said excitedly...
"Yes, the commander is right. Not only does our military region have to record his merits, but we also have to report it to the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the central government for a military-wide notification of awards..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan reacted and said with a smile on his face.
Looking at the two partners who were looking sad just now, but now they are excited, Chief of Staff Li Qing also smiled: "Commander, political commissar, there are even more happy people, let me read to you what we are
The results achieved by the air defense forces..."
In the eyes of the two people full of expectation, Chief of Staff Li Qing exchanged a telegram and continued to read: "The first and second regiments of the air defense brigade, with the cooperation of the two infantry regiments of the third division, ambushed a Japanese aviation brigade.
Shot down 25 Japanese aircraft and damaged two... It can be said that this is the biggest result achieved by the air defense brigade since its establishment..."
"Haha, now the little devil has lost his wife and lost his troops... He has lost a field division and an aviation group. I don't know which commander among the Japanese garrison in North China should be unlucky... Lao Li, San
The division has achieved such great results, how are the losses of the troops, are they big?" After learning that the troops had won, Liu Hua, after getting excited, quickly asked the one thing he wanted to know most...
After listening to Liu Hua's question, political commissar Luo Ronghuan, who had been smiling just now, immediately pricked up his ears and waited for Chief of Staff Li Qing's answer: "Commander, political commissar. According to statistics, during the entire battle,
During the attack, a total of 248 civilians died and 460 were injured in our base area. As for the combat troops, a total of 2,497 people died and 6,930 were injured, including 1,735 seriously injured. In addition, 249 Japanese soldiers were captured and countless weapons and ammunition were seized.
Unknown quantity…”
"Okay, a good fight. With less than 10,000 casualties, we wiped out more than 24,000 Japanese troops, showing the prestige of our *** division... Chief of Staff, immediately report the results obtained by the Third Army Division.
The whole army has announced to tell the people in the base area that our army has the ability to protect everyone's lives and protect their homes from being destroyed by the iron hoofs of the little devils. Please don't panic and seize the time.
Production, make your due contribution to the soldiers on the front line and to the entire war of resistance..." Liu Hua couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and ordered to the chief of staff in front of him.
"Yes, the commander is right. We must vigorously publicize the great results achieved by the Third Army Division. This will not only comfort the people in the base area, but also severely crack down on the rumormongers in the base area. The most important one is
Yes, we must also vigorously publicize the policies of our Eighth Route Army and call on the young and middle-aged people in the base area to join our Eighth Route Army. This time, the army has lost so many soldiers, and it will definitely need a large number of new soldiers to supplement it." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan added immediately.
"Yes, Commander, Political Commissar, I will make arrangements right away..." Chief of Staff Li Qing saluted and loudly replied, turned around and left the war room...
"Commander, I really didn't expect it. The result of the battle was much better than we expected. With less than 3,000 direct losses, we completely annihilated a main division of the Japanese army. Our *** division once again created a miracle.
.Now that the little devils have lost one main division at a time, I wonder what capital they still have to continue to be arrogant in North China..." Looking at the departing chief of staff, political commissar Luo Ronghuan was once again immersed in the joy of the victory, and faced the
Commander Liu Hua looked at the map again and said with a smile on his face.
"Political Commissar, I didn't expect that... With an engineering regiment of more than a thousand people, an engineering unit of more than 1,000 people could completely annihilate an infantry regiment of the Japanese army. This also created a precedent since the establishment of our *** division... However, Political Commissar, annihilation
The Japanese 14th Division is certainly happy. However, there is still a 109th Division in northern Shanxi. I don’t know how far the battle is now. You know, Gaoyuan and the others have to directly ambush an entire Japanese division. The battle process
It should be much crueler than the three divisions..." Liu Hua looked at the mountains in northern Shanxi and replied with a worried look on his face.
