After recuperating for a day, they worked hard for a day and had not had time to eat, so the physical strength and energy of the officers and soldiers on both sides were not at the same level. Moreover, the three guerrilla brigades participating in the attack were not militiamen, especially the ones brought by Lin Wei.
There are more than 600 officers and soldiers, and they are veterans of many battles. The result can be imagined.
The melee lasted less than a moment, and more than half of the entire 36th Infantry Regiment had been killed or wounded.
If the command system of the 36th Infantry Regiment was still intact, the remaining few hundred Japs might still resist to the end, but now the captain and deputy of the 36th Infantry Regiment have been killed, and the entire infantry
The regiment had lost command, so the remaining 300 or so Japanese soldiers immediately lost their will to resist.
In the chaos, it was unclear who took the lead first, and more than 300 Japanese soldiers fled in all directions.
When Lin Wei saw this, he did not order a chase, because there were more than 20,000 militiamen from the Shuangliao County Guerrilla Corps waiting for these hundreds of Japs outside the battlefield, leaving these unlucky Japs to drown in the vast sea of militiamen.
Well, it's more serious for them to take advantage of the fact that it's not completely dark yet and clean up the battlefield.
After a while, Yu Qi and Pan Yong also arrived at the battlefield.
Looking at the corpses of the Japanese lying scattered all over the ground, Yu Qi couldn't help but be speechless. Even the most conservative estimate was that there were at least a thousand corpses of the Japanese lying on the road! How long did it take? They were all wiped out.
A Japanese infantry regiment? And more than a thousand were killed on the spot. This kind of record is simply jaw-dropping!
Lin Wei said happily: "Captain, and deputy captain, as long as the tactics are used properly, the Japs are not as scary as imagined, let alone invincible!" At this point, Han Feng happened to see Han Feng with a few
Lang Ya came over and said, "If we can have Lang Ya's help, things will be even simpler."
Yu Qi nodded in agreement, he had witnessed the sharpness of the wolf's fangs with his own eyes.
After a pause, Lin Wei said to Yu Qi: "Captain, the Japs in Shuangliao County have been severely damaged by us, and it is impossible for the remaining Japs to escape the pursuit of the militia, so we should say goodbye!"
"What, farewell?" Yu Qi asked in astonishment, "Xiao Lin, what do you mean by that?"
Han Feng said for Lin Wei: "Chief of Staff Lin means that they have to go elsewhere to help the militias in other counties deal with the Japanese raiders."
Yu Qi said regretfully: "Xiao Lin, and Captain Han, I hope we have a chance to meet again."
"There is definitely a chance." Lin Wei stood up straight and saluted, "And I believe that day is not far away, because the three eastern provinces will soon be liberated, and then we can meet again."
"Okay." Yu Qi returned the greeting and said, "See you then."
…
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
In Puhe Town, Fengtian, the headquarters of the Japanese Seventh Army.
Amidst the rapid footsteps, Yano Otonzaburo walked into the war room with a livid face.
Because of his bad relationship with the deputy chief of staff, Junzaburo Koizumi, Yano Otozaburo was kicked out by Ishihara Kanji to set up a special headquarters to command the encirclement and suppression of the rebels in various counties around Fengtian. However, Ishihara Kanji was still interesting.
A total of eight infantry regiments were allocated to Yano Otonzaburo twice.
After taking office, Yano Otonzaburo was also conscientious and dedicated himself to the encirclement, suppression and mopping up of the rebels.
However, it is a pity that Yano Otozaburo's opponent this time is not the purely rebellious Puppet Manchukuo army or militia, but the Puppet Manchukuo supported by the regular army of the Chahar Independent Regiment, and even the Puppet Manchukuo supported by the Langya special forces.
The army and militia were armed, so Yano Otonzaburo's encirclement and suppression work was not smooth.
First, yesterday afternoon, the 36th Infantry Regiment that was raiding Shuangliao County was ambushed near the county seat. More than a thousand imperial officers and soldiers including the commander of the regiment, Ishikawa Mao, were collectively killed!
Then, at midnight yesterday, the 7th Infantry Regiment responsible for mopping up Changtu County was attacked by rebels at night while camping. Moreover, during the fierce battle, the rebels actually showed strict organization.
The use of this tactic was even more shocking. After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, the 7th Infantry Regiment suffered unprecedented heavy losses.
Just now, the 7th Infantry Regiment sent a telegram requesting urgent tactical guidance from the headquarters.
Otherwise, the more than 500 remaining soldiers of the 7th Infantry Regiment will be wiped out by the rebels in one fell swoop!
However, Otonzaburo Yano had no reinforcements to send, not to mention an entire infantry regiment, not even an infantry brigade, so he could only come to Ishihara Kanji and urgently request tactical guidance from the Seventh Army Headquarters.
Yano Otonzaburo believed that Ishihara Kanji would not just watch the several infantry regiments that went out to clean up be eaten one by one.
The footsteps of Yano Otonzaburo immediately attracted the attention of several senior advisers in the war room.
Koizumi Junzaburo, who was chatting with Ishihara Wanji in a low voice, raised his head when he heard the sound. Seeing that it was Yano Otonzaburo, Koizumi Junzaburo's mouth immediately showed a trace of ridicule, even though Yano Otonzaburo was his theoretical friend.
His immediate boss, but because of the support of Kanji Ishihara, he no longer paid attention to Yano Otonzaburo, his boss.
Although Ishihara Wanji didn't raise his head, he could already hear the footsteps of Yano Otonzaburo.
At that moment, Ishihara Wanji asked: "Yano-kun, has the raid been hindered?"
"Hai!" Yano Otozaburo paused heavily and said bitterly, "Following the collective destruction of the 36th Infantry Regiment, the 7th Infantry Regiment also suffered heavy losses, and now there are less than 500 remnants trapped.
In Changtu County, request emergency tactical guidance from the legion headquarters." After a pause, Yano Otonzaburo said again, "Your Excellency, Commander, please be sure to send reinforcements as soon as possible."
"Reinforcements?" Ishihara Wanji finally raised his head and stared straight at Yano Otonzaburo, "I'm afraid there won't be reinforcements."
"Nani?" Yano Otonzaburo was stunned when he heard this, and said in astonishment, "Your Excellency, Commander, are you not going to send reinforcements?"
"Why should I send reinforcements?" Ishihara Wanji shook his head and said, "Yano-kun, haven't you ever thought about why the 36th Infantry Regiment was collectively shattered in Shuangliao County, and the 7th Infantry Regiment
And why was it severely damaged in Tucheng, Chang County? Have you never thought about the reason behind this?"
"Hai!" Yano Otozaburo said after a heavy pause, "This issue mentioned by the commander has been considered by Beizhi. If Beizhi guessed correctly, the rebels in Shuangliao County and Changtu County have obviously been investigated.
Without the military assistance of the Har Independent Regiment, they would not have such a tight organization, let alone such skillful use of tactics."
"Yano-kun, you are right, absolutely right." Ishihara Wanji nodded, then shook his head and said, "But you didn't get to the point. The key to this issue is to strengthen the resistance of the various rebels around Fengtian.
Combat power, Xu Rui is stupid enough to send precious troops to support them! In other words, the Chahar Independent Regiment has even fewer troops now!"
Junzaburo Koizumi continued: "This guy Xu Rui is stupid enough to disperse precious troops to support the rebels outside the city, but we cannot make the same mistake as him and disperse extremely valuable troops in useless directions! The fact is
, rather than using precious troops to deal with these rebels, it is better to stay in Fengtian to deal with the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment."
"Sodesna." Ishihara Wanji nodded happily and said to Yano Otonzaburo, "So, Yano-kun, I won't have a single reinforcement here to allocate to you. You'd better think carefully about how to use what you have in hand."
We must use our troops to exterminate the rebels in each county while protecting ourselves as much as possible."
"Hai!" Yano Otonzaburo could only pause and answer.
Ishihara Wanji ignored Yano Otonzaburo and turned to Junzaburo Koizumi and said: "Koizumi-kun, after these days of fierce fighting, the number of casualties in the Chahar Independent Regiment has exceeded at least fifteen thousand.
, even if most of the fifteen thousand people were only wounded and not killed, it is impossible for these wounded to return to the battlefield in a short period of time."
"Hai!" Yano Otozaburo said after a heavy pause, "This means that the Chahar Independent Regiment has only more than 10,000 combatable soldiers left at full count! This is already a critical point.
Yes! If the imperial army invests all its T-34 tanks at this time and launches a general attack on Fengtian from the north, west and east at the same time, defeating the Chahar Independent Regiment in one fell swoop and driving it out of Fengtian City, it is a high probability event.
.”
"Yo Xi!" Ishihara Wan'er nodded happily, and then said, "But to be on the safe side, it's better not to rush to launch a general attack today. It's better to spend another day in the ruins outside the city with the Chahar Independent Regiment. This way we can
Consume as much of the opponent's vitality as possible, and the chance of succeeding in the overall attack tomorrow will be higher."
"Hai!" Junzaburo Koizumi paused and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, is wise, and I admire you for your humble position."
Ishihara smiled and waved his hand, then asked: "Oh, by the way, are the more than 300 T-34 tanks participating in the war in place?"
Junzaburo Koizumi quickly replied: "Commander, don't worry, the 358 T-34 tanks participating arrived at the designated area yesterday and have been handed over to the 1st Armored Division."
"Yo Xi." Ishihara Wanji nodded happily, his heart completely relieved.
At this time, Ishihara Kanji was like a gambler at the gambling table. After consuming most of the chips, he finally placed the last chips on the gambling table. The next step is to lose or win, just waiting for the end.
It’s time to unveil the cover! In other words, we’re just waiting for the last moment to be revealed.
The waiting time is always difficult.
However, Ishihara Wanji has enough reasons to believe that the final winner must be him.
Why? Because Kanji Ishihara has taken into account all the factors he can think of.
