The Japanese soldiers who had just eaten were chatting and laughing at the headquarters in the town. Generally speaking, the Japanese soldiers were mainly stationed in cities such as county towns. Those stationed outside the city were also stationed in mines, military camps, and important transportation areas. Daliuta Town
It is because of its special location in the border area controlled by the Red Party that there is a squadron.
"Commander, it's almost eight o'clock." A staff officer said to Gao Gang.
Gao Gang nodded, looked at his watch and asked, "Have you contacted the guerrillas in the city?"
The staff officer said, "We have contacted them, and they will cooperate with us in the battle. But do we really not need them to help us open the city gate?"
Gao Gang shook his head and said, "No, come on, bring up the anti-tank cannon, point it at the city gate, and blow it up for me!"
Three Eighth Route Army imitation 37 anti-aircraft guns were pulled to the position and aimed at the city gate.
The time came to eight o'clock.
"Hit!" Gao Gang waved his hand fiercely, and five 37 anti-tank guns fired together. Two armor-piercing rounds and three high-explosive rounds accurately hit the city gate of Daliuta Town. The city gate made of solid wood instantly
It turned into countless fragments. With the sound of cannons, the Battle of Suiyuan began.
"What's the sound?" Qi Munan, the Japanese squadron leader who was having dinner with the businessman, stood up and asked.
"Report... report that the south gate has been shelled and the city gate has been blown open. It has been confirmed that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is attacking the city!" A Japanese soldier ran in and shouted loudly.
"How many people are there?" Qi Munan asked.
"This... we set off flares, and there are Red Party troops in all directions. It looks like there is at least one brigade!" The Japanese soldier thought for a while and said.
"Quick! Quickly generate electricity, the Red Party is attacking!!" Qi Munan has been here for more than a year and has heard about the Red Party's military strength on the opposite side. One of his squadrons may be able to block a battalion or a regiment, but this brigade is still called
Give me tactical guidance."
"Order everyone to follow me up the city wall!" Qi Munan shouted loudly. As he spoke, he took several Japanese soldiers with guns and ran, shouting loudly for other Japanese soldiers to follow.
——Zhangjiakou
"What? The Eighth Route Army of the Red Party left Shaanxi to attack Daliuta Town?" Naosaburo Okabe, the commander of the Mongolian Army, quickly walked to the map, looked at the location of Daliuta Town on the map and said, "In front of here is Ordos, and in front of it is Baotou.
, if Baotou falls, Bayannur will also fall, and most of the Hetao area will be lost."
Naosaburo Okabe stood up and said, "The National Army in Ningxia will not attack casually, especially if they cooperate with the Red Party. They will never do it. They will immediately dispatch the troops in Wuhai and Bayannur to Baotou. In addition,
Order King De to immediately mobilize troops, prepare for defensive operations, report the situation here to Shenyang and Peiping, and finally, have the 118th Division prepare for return reinforcements!"
——Otok
Zhou Xing looked at the Japanese fortifications that had been built into densely packed bunkers and said, "This little devil can't do anything else. It's really difficult to defend this. With so many bunkers and bunkers, there will be a lot of casualties if we knock them down."
Xiao Jinguang nodded and said, "The intelligence here says that there is a squadron of Japanese troops and a battalion of puppet troops. No one is in the city. They are all fortified in the field to defend us. Haha, I don't think we should tangle with them here anymore."
Let's leave all the mountain artillery and a brigade to deal with them. The other troops will continue to move forward immediately after the fighting starts here. This is a plain with no roads. We want to attack Wuhai as quickly as possible. What do you think?
Sample?"
Zhou Xing grunted and said, "Okay, then I will stay and you will lead the main force forward."
The sky was gradually getting brighter. With a wave of Zhou Xing's hand, twenty or thirty mortars and more than a dozen mountain cannons roared together. Seven or eight fighter planes flew from the sky to assist in the battle, aiming at the area of about one square kilometer.
The Japanese position was bombarded by a burst of indiscriminate bombing, and about three or four miles away from the battlefield, Xiao Jinguang looked at the battlefield in the distance, pointed to the north and said, "Comrades, move forward!!"
——Fengzhen
There were two brigades of Japanese troops and three puppet army brigades stationed in Feng Town. He Long shook his head and said, "You guys must have heard the news. Forget it, we won't make a sneak attack. Let the 1st Tank Regiment and the 359th Brigade be the vanguard. All
Pull up the rocket launchers and mountain artillery, let the air force support, and the battle must be ended within time! In addition, how is the evacuation of the people in Feng Town?"
Zhou Shidi said, "Don't worry, our underground party and guerrillas have already made arrangements. As soon as our battle starts, the people will hide in their basements. This is the case in our north. Almost every household has a basement."
"
He Long nodded and said, "Start on time at seven o'clock!"
"Swish, swish, swish!" The first one to fire was the rocket launcher unit. The location of the Japanese army's garrison had already been handed over to the 120th Division. Hundreds of rockets flew into the sky in an instant. After the attack, the rocket launcher unit did not evacuate.
, but start filling as quickly as possible and prepare for the second round of coverage.
"What is that?" A Japanese soldier who got up to wash up in the morning said looking at the sky.
"Huh? Meteor?" said the Japanese soldier next to him.
"No! It's a shell, enemy attack! Enemy attack!!" A Japanese soldier shouted loudly, running as if something was chasing him behind him.
There is indeed something chasing him...that thing is called the Grim Reaper!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Bang!"
Hundreds of rockets covered the Japanese headquarters in the city, the barracks and the city gate in the south of the city. Looking down from the sky, the Japanese headquarters seemed to have been punched by an iron fist, and was beaten to pieces.
At this time, the Japanese army was horrified to find that there were thirty or forty fighter planes flying in the sky, circling in the sky, swooping down from time to time to shoot and drop bombs at their troops, and there were many tanks on the ground, with the flags high in the blue sky and white sun.
Flying high, countless Eighth Route Army soldiers launched an attack on the already wide-open city gate.
——Zhangjiakou
"What's going on? Didn't it say that the Eighth Route Army is attacking Daliuta Town? Why did Fengzhen and Otok also discover the main force of the Eighth Route Army? How many main forces does the Eighth Route Army have?" Naosaburo Okabe said angrily.
"Sorry, Commander, you also know that the Eighth Route Army has the strength to defeat the encirclement and suppression of the Third Army and the North China Front Army. It is not weak, and the main force of our army has been transferred to Erenhot..." The staff officer next to him lowered his head and said.
Naosaburo Okabe said anxiously, "Now the Eighth Route Army is attacking in three directions. How can we resist it? Where is the feint attack and where is the real main force?"
The staff officer pointed to the map and said, "Ulanqab and Erenhot are close, so the 118th Division can immediately return to support. Anyway, the fighting in Nomenkan has ended, and then let Wuhai's troops return to Bayannur. As for Wuhai, we can give it to Wuhai."
The National Army in Ningxia and the Ma Jiajun are warlord forces. They have no overall view. Since it is beneficial, they will definitely want it. Let's find some way to provoke conflicts between them, so that we can hold them back and defend Bayan.
Nao'er. As for Baotou, as long as we defend across the river and urgently mobilize Mongolian troops, I believe we can hold on for at least half a month. But in the end, if we want to completely defeat the Eighth Route Army's attack this time, we still need the support of the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army."
Naosaburo Okabe nodded and said, "The only thing we can do now is to send a message to Shenyang and Peiping immediately to ask for support. But the fastest, I'm afraid it will take a week. This week, we must not make any mistakes!"
——Ningxia
"What???" Ma Hongkui looked at the Japanese envoy opposite in disbelief and said, "You Japanese want to give Wuhai to us?"
The Japanese nodded and said, "Our Emperor has also heard about General Ma. Our General Okabe Naosaburo has been looking up to the General for a long time. Our Empire of Japan has no intention of becoming an enemy of the General. We came to China just to Overthrow the anti-Japanese government brokered by Chiang Kai-shek and eliminate the Red Party, so I hope you can accept our sincerity."
Ma Hongkui sat down, a little hesitant. He had already received the news and knew that the Eighth Route Army of the Red Party was attacking the Japanese army. It seemed that they would hit Wuhai soon. This was obviously because the Japanese army wanted to kill two soldiers with one peach.
Next to him, Ma Dunjing, the second son of Ma Hongkui, quickly encouraged him and said, "Abba, this is a good opportunity. We can't give up. This can be regarded as regaining the country."
The Japanese looked at the arrogant Ma Dunjing and secretly hated him, so he could only lower his head and say nothing.
Ma Hongkui waved his hand to let the Japanese go down and said, "But in this case, we will inevitably have a conflict with the Red Party's Eighth Route Army. Of course, when the Red Party marched westward, we killed many of them. If it were not for the resistance against Japan, we would definitely still be Those who are beaten to death will take away their food..."
Ma Dunjing said nonchalantly, "Abba, this is the moment. Wuhai is an occupied area. Could it be that the Red Party can fight, but we can't? We can just fire guns and throw grenades, and just say we are the ones who fight." Didn't they come down? Didn't the Red Party keep talking about the united front? How dare they take the initiative to attack us?"
Ma Hongkui thought about it and thought it made sense. He nodded and said, "Okay, then you will lead two armies to take Wuhai City at starry night. Remember, you must not stir up trouble."
Ma Dunjing patted her chest and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Dad, it's absolutely fine."
Ma Dunjing led his troops to the foot of Wuhai City. As expected, the city gate opened and the Japanese troops stood neatly at the city gate. He suddenly felt calm and excitedly stepped forward and said, "I am Ma Dunjing! I have accepted Wuhai City as agreed." , I hope you will keep your promise and leave immediately."
The Japanese officers glanced at Ma Dunjing with disgust. In their hearts, they would rather lose to the Eighth Route Army who were good at fighting than to lose to a young man like Ma Dunjing without a fight.
"This is all for strategy. Everyone must be patient. Later we can watch the Red Party and them fight each other. How far is the Red Party's Eighth Route Army from us?" asked the Japanese commander.
"We are constantly retreating, and we will reach the city in about four hours." said the staff officer next to him.
"Then wait for another three and a half hours. Tell them that we still have overseas Chinese to leave, and let them wait for another three and a half hours." After that, the Japanese commander turned back to rest.
After listening to the Japanese army's explanation, Ma Dunjing was a little angry, but she thought that she couldn't let this great achievement go away just because of her anger, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
——
"Commander, a secret report from Wuhai. Ma Dunjing suddenly led his troops under Wuhai City. The Japanese army was confronting them, but strangely they did not exchange fire. It is possible that some agreement has been reached." The communications soldier handed the telegram to them. Xiao Jinguang said.
Xiao Jinguang frowned and said, "Since we entered Suiyuan, the Japanese army's resistance has not been strong. I'm still surprised. It seems that the Japanese army is preparing to abandon Wuhai to Ma Dunjing. Then aren't we here in vain?"
Zhou Xing, who had caught up next to him, said, "This is not possible. Let's not talk about anything else. Without Wuhai as a transfer station, we can only take the land route to Bayannur. This is hundreds of kilometers. Our logistics supplies will be
Something is seriously wrong."
Xiao Jinguang nodded and said, "That's true. We must capture Wuhai no matter what, but we must also execute the orders of the united front. If Ma Dunjing has really been beaten first, we must not fire the first shot!"
As he spoke, Xiao Jinguang shouted loudly, "Everyone move forward quickly. Throw away everything except ammunition, weapons, water and food for a day."
The soldiers immediately started running. Beddings, pots, bowls, tents, and their belongings were thrown all over the place.
——
"Report, the Eighth Route Army is only five miles away from us and has already exchanged fire with our security troops." The communications soldier hurried over and said.
The Japanese commander nodded and said, "Retreat immediately, and the special agent team will stay to perform the mission."
"Do you want Ma Dunjing to enter the city?" the staff officer asked.
"Hmph! No need, let him make his own judgment." The Japanese commander waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers who had been preparing for a long time lined up and ran towards Baotou.
——
"Sir, why are all the Japanese missing?" an officer said to Ma Dunjing.
"It's a little strange, come on, come in and have a look." Ma Dunjing said strangely, looking at the empty Wuhai City with Japanese flags everywhere.
"Report, our people have discovered that troops flying the blue sky and white sun flag are rushing toward us quickly. It seems to be the Eighth Route Army." A cavalryman ran over and shouted.
"Damn it, forget it, go into the city quickly! Don't leave until the Japanese troops leave, let them fight the Eighth Route Army!" As he said this, Ma Dunjing got on his horse and led the troops into the city quickly.
Less than 800 meters outside Wuhai City, a small force of less than a hundred people was waiting patiently. They were wearing Ma Jiajun military uniforms and holding medium-sized rifles in their hands.
It is the Eighth Route Army garrison led by Xiao Jinguang.
"Which unit are you from?" A man from the small unit stood up and shouted loudly.
"Our Eighth Route Army members, where are you from?" Xiao Jinguang looked at the Ma's army's attire and sighed, signaling for the soldiers to answer.
"We are from the Ma Jiajun. Our General Ma Dunjing asked your commander to go into the city to speak." The man continued to shout.
"What should I do? Go in?" Zhou Xing asked.
Xiao Jinguang nodded and said, "We can't be underestimated by them. In this way, when I go in, you leave a brigade for me. With the other troops, you can immediately turn to Bayannur, and then ask the follow-up troops to quickly establish the military station and provide supplies."
Send it up." Xiao Jinguang came out with a few cavalry and said, "We are here, take us into the city."
"According to the order of Commander Ma, the Eighth Route Army went into battle without permission. They did not obey the military orders. They committed a heinous crime and deserved to be punished and killed!" With that, it was just a shot. Xiao Jinguang only felt a pain in his shoulder and fell down to the horse.
Then the small unit's machine guns and rifles opened fire, and in an instant, ten or twenty people from Xiao Jinguang's unit fell.
"Damn it, fight back! Fight back!! Save Commander Xiao!" Zhou Xing's eyes were about to burst as he yelled crazily.
