The siege troops from the three directions of southwest and north have not yet reached the foot of the city wall. The fighting is still going on, and Datong City has been captured!
The Japanese and puppet troops died and surrendered!
The garrison headquarters, arsenal, material warehouse, ammunition factory...all were occupied!
"Captain, Captain Xiao Yuanxiao has an urgent call!" Hong Linfeng took the telegram handed over by Zhou Liang, and a smile appeared on his face after just a glance, and he shouted excitedly!
"We have taken down Datong City!"
"The guard company successfully captured the Japanese garrison headquarters!"
"The arsenal, material warehouse, ammunition factory, repair shop, military police headquarters and police station in Datong City have all been occupied by us!"
"All 259 Japanese soldiers in the city, starting from Major General and below, were wiped out by us, and the puppet troops killed and captured 1,358 people!"
Li Hao was also frightened by this huge surprise. It took him several seconds to realize what he was doing, and he exclaimed: "So fast!"
"This is so unexpected. Before, I was worried that we wouldn't have enough time to evacuate Datong City!"
"Now it seems that this worry is overblown!"
"Order the reserve team and the newly formed transportation team to go through the east gate and enter the city immediately!"
"We only want the equipment and all semi-finished products from the Japanese armory and ammunition factories, and we don't want any weapons or ammunition!"
"Mobilize the workers in the repair shop and the ammunition factory and ask them to help. We must clear the place before dawn. Not a single screw can be left to the little devil!"
"Contact the Eighth Route Army base area in northwestern Shanxi and ask them to quickly kill the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Datong!"
"We have captured Datong City. Let them mobilize all the main forces, local troops, guerrillas, and ordinary people to bypass the battlefield and enter Datong City to transport and capture it!"
"After dawn, the Japanese will definitely send planes to bomb the arsenals and material warehouses to prevent us from getting the military supplies they have hoarded in Datong! So we must move the most important food, weapons and ammunition out of Datong before dawn!"
"Other unimportant supplies will be moved after dark tomorrow!"
"Notice from the headquarters: With the cooperation of other Eighth Route Army units, all the railways and roads along which the Japanese and puppet reinforcements passed have been destroyed, and they can only march on two legs!"
"And our troops are harassing and blocking us in the middle. We will definitely not be able to get here in less than three days, so we have enough time to evacuate Datong City!"
"Report to the headquarters: We have captured Datong City. Please contact the Jinsui Army to eliminate the more than 2,000 Japs who are confronting them south of Datong as soon as possible. Then send troops to take over Datong, block the Japanese and puppet reinforcements, and completely occupy Datong City!"
At the World War II Zone Headquarters, the Chief of Staff held a telegram and rushed into the headquarters like a chicken blood!
"Commander-in-chief, it's done, the Eighth Route Army has really taken down Datong City!"
"Is this a telegram from the Eighth Route Army headquarters?" the commander-in-chief asked, staring closely at the chief of staff!
"Yes!" the chief of staff replied quickly!
"The Eighth Route Army requires us to deal with the more than 2,000 Japs on the front line as soon as possible, and then send troops to Datong City to block the Japanese and puppet reinforcements!"
"The Japanese dispatched an infantry regiment from Taiyuan to reinforce Datong. They could have arrived in one day. But the Eighth Route Army promised that they would send troops to hold them back and buy us at least three days!"
"So we must kill more than 2,000 Japs on the front line within three days, then move into Datong, build a defense line around Datong, block the Japanese and puppet reinforcements, and completely occupy Datong City!"
The commander-in-chief was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted!
He sighed and replied: "The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army once again exceeded my expectations, old man!"
"How long did it take to capture a major military town like Datong?"
"If our Jinsui Army is allowed to attack, even if we know that Datong City is empty of troops, it will take at least one night!"
"The Eighth Route Army has done what it should do, and now it's our Jinsui Army's turn!"
"On the frontal battlefield, our Jinsui Army was defeated again and again, with almost no victories! Not only did the people across the country laugh at us, but the people in the three Jin Dynasties began to not believe in our own soldiers!"
"Using this opportunity, we will fight for a turnaround no matter what, and prove to everyone the combat effectiveness of our Jinsui Army!"
"Chief of Staff, how is the situation on the front line!"
The chief of staff quickly replied: "Our army has dispatched six main regiments and two mountain artillery battalions to participate in the battle!"
"Now we have conquered eight strongholds, large and small, and wiped out more than 1,200 Japanese and puppet troops!"
"The remaining Japanese and puppet troops have been compressed into three large strongholds. The total strength of the troops is more than 4,000, and they are surrounded by our two main groups respectively!"
The commander-in-chief frowned and cursed with dissatisfaction!
"The attack speed is too slow!"
"Compared with the Eighth Route Army's siege speed, it's like a snail!"
"The Eighth Route Army defeated the whole city of Datong. We attacked more than 2,000 little Japs. It took such a long time to kill so many!"
"Chief of Staff, immediately strengthen the front line!"
"Send three more regiments over!"
"Don't we still have a mountain artillery regiment? Send them up together and hit them with cannonballs!"
"Old man, I don't believe that the little devils are made of iron. You can't kill them even if you hit them with so many shells!"
"Tell our commanders on the front line that the Japanese and puppet reinforcements will arrive in Datong in three days. This is the time we have to use the equipment and ammunition of the four regiments as compensation, and ask the Eighth Route Army to send troops to give us the time to fight for it!"
"So this time we must show off the prestige of our Jinsui Army, fight for a turnaround, completely occupy Datong City, and let everyone successfully know our Jinsui Army!"
"Old man, I will give them another day and night to kill all the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line at all costs, and then announce the good news in the name of a war zone that we have captured Datong and annihilated thousands of little Japs!"
"Chief of Staff, you are responsible for deploying two main divisions. As soon as the imps on the front line are eliminated, they will immediately move into Datong, and then set up defenses outside Datong to block the Japanese and puppet reinforcements!"
"The Japs only came with one regiment. We have two divisions and the Eighth Route Army are cooperating behind the Japs! No matter how powerful and well-equipped the Japs are, we can still withstand them!"
"However, if we fail to capture the remaining Japanese and puppet troops on the front line within the stipulated time and let them join the Japanese reinforcements! Then it will definitely be very difficult for us to completely control Datong!"
The chief of staff replied with a serious face: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will make arrangements now!"
"This is the battle for the rise of our Jinsui Army. We will definitely fight it well!"
