After receiving the order, various Japanese military units broke out in units of regiments, brigades and even squadrons.
Suddenly there were Japanese troops everywhere. When the pilot of the reconnaissance plane saw this scene, he was a little confused for a moment and didn't know how to report it to his superiors. After thinking about it repeatedly, he asked the radio operator on the plane to send the message
The telegram said that the Japanese troops had dispersed and broken through. The general direction was the direction of SJZ. As for the specific troops and which route they took, he couldn't tell clearly at all.
The sudden use of this move by the Japanese army gave Xu Dalong a headache. He originally wanted to wipe out the Japanese 8th Division, but the Japanese army was now divided into many roads and dispersed to break through. He had no time to mobilize his troops. He could only tell the news
The notification was given to all the troops who rushed to the battlefield, asking them to also move in the direction of SJZ. Whichever Japanese army they encountered would be killed. As for how many Japanese soldiers they could surround in the end, it all depended on luck.
After all, Sun Desheng's cavalry brigade moved very fast, and they quickly arrived at the battlefield. Seeing a group of Japanese troops in front, they chased after them. After a fierce battle, they completely wiped out the Japanese troops. Unfortunately, there was only one infantry squadron, and they could only
Then go look for other Japanese soldiers who escaped.
After a long march, the troops led by Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Cheng Xiazi crossed Guancheng County and finally caught up with the 8th Division. As a result, the 8th Division scattered and fled, leaving them unable to exert their strength.
After running such a long way, I couldn't win a big battle, and I was very depressed for a while.
Xu Dalong simply gave the order to the troops to disperse. Whoever encounters the escaping Japanese troops depends on their luck.
The pilots of the reconnaissance aircraft in the air saw that the ground was full of fleeing Japanese troops and anti-Japanese armed forces everywhere.
Li Yunlong's luck was good. He defeated the infantry group left by the Japanese army to stop them. He led the team to run wildly and caught up with another Japanese army.
The Japanese army has two infantry brigades and a regiment. Now the Japanese army has become frightened and has no intention of fighting. They do not dare to stay where they are and snipe. They can only leave a small force to block Li Yunlong's troops. The others quickly
Evacuate.
Li Yunlong commanded the troops to pursue forward non-stop, and did not stop when encountering a small enemy force. He had many ways to deal with such a small enemy force. At most, he would leave a small force to attack the enemy head-on, and directly use the larger force.
Outflanking them from both flanks, they quickly ate up the enemy's intercepting troops.
The Japanese army tried their best to escape, and the Eighth Route Army tried their best to pursue them. The Japanese army fought all night, with no time to rest at all. Their soldiers were very exhausted.
The troops led by Li Yunlong turned out to be blocking the attack on the position. Their physical exertion was very small, so they took advantage and finally surrounded the Japanese army in a cornfield.
Seeing that the Japanese army was hiding in the green gauze tent formed by the cornfield, Li Yunlong took full advantage of his abundant weapons and ammunition, and fired artillery, machine guns, and rifles into the cornfield.
The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed forward, using fire cover while constantly throwing grenades and grenades forward.
At this time, the Japanese army was not only very exhausted, but also seriously lacking weapons and ammunition. They were no match for the troops led by Li Yunlong.
After an hour and a half of fierce fighting, the troops commanded by Li Yunlong completely annihilated the Japanese army and captured alive a Jaap regiment leader.
Li Yunlong asked some troops to clean up the battlefield, while others took the time to rest for half an hour, and then continued to pursue the Japanese army.
Kong Jie led his troops in pursuit. They were very tired and had bad luck. They encountered only small groups of Japanese troops along the way. The largest was only an infantry squad, which was not enough to fill his teeth.
He and his officers and soldiers were unwilling to give in. Regardless of fatigue, they gritted their teeth and continued to pursue forward.
Ding Wei and the troops he led were in a similar situation. The largest Japanese army they encountered was only an infantry squadron, which was not enough to satisfy his appetite. He led the troops and continued to advance in the direction of SJZ.
Even though Blind Cheng was wearing glasses, he was very lucky. Through his glasses, he saw a large group of Japanese troops in front of him.
The Japanese soldiers in front were too tired to run away, so he commanded the troops to surround the Japanese army.
After two hours of fierce fighting, more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers were eliminated, including the brigade commander of the Japanese 16th Brigade.
Cheng Xiazi was very excited and reported the news directly to Xu Dalong.
In order to boost morale, Xu Dalong informed all the troops of the good news.
At this time, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others were all a little impatient. Seven of them refused to accept it, and eight of them refused to accept it. However, they had no choice but to blame themselves for their bad luck.
Li Yunlong scolded: "Damn it, Blind Cheng. Laozi worked hard here all night and didn't even catch a big fish. But Blind Cheng, this guy, is so lucky. Is there any justice in this?"
The chariot brigade led by Cui Zhenyue originally followed Li Yunlong's troops. Later, they disliked the slow speed of Li Yunlong's infantry, so they simply broke away from them and pursued the Japanese army themselves.
They were traveling at high speed along the highway, and encountered two groups of Japanese troops on the way. The troops were not large in size, only about a squadron.
When the Japs saw the chariot brigade, they left the road and fled in all directions. The officers and soldiers of the chariot brigade fired at them fiercely with machine guns, killing many of the Japs. The chariot brigade saw them fleeing and was too lazy to do so.
I wanted to chase them again, so I continued along the road, hoping to catch other Japanese troops.
Later, they finally saw another Japanese army. They were very happy at first, but when they saw the size of the Japanese army clearly, they were dumbfounded.
The Japanese army in front had at least one infantry regiment. At this time, there was no infantry protection behind the tank group, so they really did not dare to attack the Japanese army directly.
Cui Zhenyue was very smart and decided to use tanks and armored vehicles to fight guerrilla warfare against the Japanese.
They moved their tanks and armored vehicles close to the Japanese troops and attacked them with machine guns and artillery, but they did not get too close.
When I saw Japanese soldiers holding grenades and trying to blow up tanks and armored vehicles, the tanks and armored vehicles in front took the initiative to retreat to prevent the Japs from approaching. The tanks and armored vehicles behind them used machine guns to cover them and kill the Japs who tried to rush up.
wipe out.
When the Japanese soldiers began to retreat, they chased after them again. In this way, they kept clinging to the Japanese army in front, and the Japanese army simply could not get rid of them.
Later, the Japanese commander really had no choice but to issue an order to disperse and break out. Thousands of Japanese troops dispersed, with each Japanese army having more than 200 to 300 people and less than 100 people, heading towards different directions.
The direction is dispersed and broken out.
The chariot brigade was also dumbfounded, not knowing which Japanese army to pursue. Without the protection of infantry, the chariot brigade did not dare to disperse. They could only stare at one Japanese army and watch other Japanese soldiers escape.
.
In order to preserve the strength of the 8th Division, the Japanese troops dispersed and broke through, which really had a good effect. Even Bob's flying brigade felt that it was not working hard.
Bombers are most suitable for bombing fixed targets or cluster targets. Nowadays, the Japanese army is dispersed into small groups. Bombers cannot be used to bomb a small Japanese force of 100 people. We really can't afford to waste aerial bombs.
and that expensive aviation gasoline. They could only give up bombing the Japanese army and lost the chance to receive bonuses.
While the battle was fierce on the front line, in the Mawushan Military Division Field Hospital, Su Xiaoyan, Wang Xinmin and others were doing their best to rescue Zhao Gang.
When Li Yiyun heard that Zhao Gang was injured, she was so frightened that she turned pale. She came outside the hospital's operating room and heard that Zhao Gang was dying. She couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.
Gao Zhiyong came over. He was in a very bad mood. Seeing Li Yiyun like this, he couldn't help but scolded: "Shut up! Why are you crying? Don't affect the surgery inside."
Li Yiyun was startled, and then realized his gaffe. He subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands, but his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
The operation had been going on for more than an hour, but there was still no news. At this time, someone came to Gao Zhiyong. Gao Zhiyong was helpless and had to follow the person to deal with the emergency.
Before leaving, he asked the security personnel to stay in the operating room and report to him quickly no matter what happened.
At this time, in addition to Lin Yiyun, there were several female cadres outside the operating room, one of whom was Japanese spy Tang Wenlin.
On the surface, she was also very sad, but secretly she was secretly happy that the assassination of Zhao Gang was her own work.
The independent brigade headquarters and the military division headquarters are two small courtyards in the same compound. It is very convenient for the two sides to communicate with each other. The battle on the front line is fiercely going on, but Tang Wenlin and other female cadres have nothing to do.
She excused herself to go to the toilet, left her colleagues, and went to the yard of the military division headquarters. The door of the headquarters could just be seen from the toilet window.
When she saw Zhao Gang alone there, she fired a shot at Zhao Gang. When the guards returned after hearing the gunfire, she quickly returned to the yard of the Independence Brigade.
Since the military division headquarters and the independent brigade are all together, and the dormitories are in an independent courtyard, there are not many of them, and they are all familiar with each other. Moreover, Tang Wenlin knows the relationship between Li Yiyun and Zhao Gang, and usually deliberately
Approaching her, she also came here for the reason of visiting Zhao Gang.
Seeing that the operation was extremely difficult, Tang Wenlin estimated that Zhao Gang might not be able to survive anymore. She was secretly happy in her heart. The only thing she regretted was that she did not have the chance to directly assassinate Xu Dalong. But with this contribution, she could already give an explanation to her superiors.
.
As the battle progressed, Xu Dalong's command headquarters also continued to move forward. After entering the base area, they changed from riding horses to riding cars and headed towards the SJZ direction.
Lin Xueying was in charge of radio communications. Due to the tense war, she had not slept a wink all day and night. At this time, she was sitting next to Xu Dalong and was dozing off.
Seeing her swaying around, Xu Dalong couldn't help but stretched out his arms and pulled her into his arms. Lin Xueying opened her eyes, smiled at him, and fell asleep in his arms.
The driver saw this scene through the reflector and had a smile on his face.
The cadres and soldiers around Xu Dalong all knew the relationship between Lin Xueying and the captain. They were very optimistic about this pair of lovers and looked forward to the opportunity to drink their wedding wine. Seeing the closeness of the two, they felt sincerely for them
feel happy.
After Li Qiulin led the special forces to ambush the headquarters of the 11th independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, he had been hiding in the mountains. After the large forces of the Eighth Route Army destroyed the surrounded Japanese troops, he was ready to lead the special forces to follow Kong Jie and others.
Head to Guancheng County.
As a result, he received a telegram from Li Changshui, asking him to take the special forces team back to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Li Qiulin had not had enough and wanted to fight again. Unfortunately, he had to carry out Li Changshui's order and had to lead the special force back to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Unexpectedly, the task Li Changshui gave him next immediately made him very happy, and soon he led a special force team to follow Li Changshui directly to the direction of SJZ.
Their actions were directly arranged by the commander, and their mission was to go to the Jinan Military Region of the Eighth Route Army and be responsible for the contact between the Jinan Military Region and Xu Dalong's headquarters.
After Monk Wei led the special forces into Hebei, he did not stop at SJZ, but continued north to Zhengding.
They attacked Zhengding Station, destroyed more than 300 meters of railway, and restricted Baoding. Japanese troops from the direction of Peiping used the railway line to come for reinforcements.
Not only that, they also blew up the Hutuo River Bridge and blocked the Japanese reinforcements from the road. Everything was in preparation for the attack on SJZ.
The Japanese 8th Division has now been divided into dozens of groups, each fleeing in the direction of SJZ. Various units of the Eighth Route Army also chased after them, and the entire battlefield became a mess.
The commander and chief of staff of the 8th Division were very lucky. They were not intercepted by the Eighth Route Army on the way. They soon entered the Taihang Mountains and walked 15 miles further to Jingxing Pass.
Based on previous lessons, the commander of the 8th Division no longer dared to underestimate the Eighth Route Army. They believed that Jingxing Pass was an important checkpoint, and the Eighth Route Army would most likely send troops to block this checkpoint.
He only has two squadrons in hand now. If the Eighth Route Army really blocks the way there, they will really be in a dead end.
He decided to avoid Jingxing Pass and go over the mountains. Climbing mountains is not an easy task. Fortunately for these young Japs, the division commander and chief of staff are usually very pampered. They usually go out by car and rarely even ride horses. Let
They wore high boots to climb mountains and it almost killed them.
They were out of breath after walking for a while, and when they wanted to sit down and rest, the soldiers could only help them walk. In any case, they finally climbed over the mountains and entered the plains, and found a small stronghold of the Japanese and puppet troops.
After having a full meal and resting for a while, we continued to SJZ.
The wing headquarters of the 30th Regiment of the Japanese 15th Brigade, escorted by an infantry brigade, arrived at Jingxing Pass along the highway.
The members of the special operations brigade guarding the gate used artillery, machine guns, and rifles to beat them up.
At this time, the Japanese had no intention of fighting, and they did not have the confidence to capture Jingxing Pass, so they abandoned the road and went over the mountains.
