The Japanese, who had no heavy artillery cover, slammed in Erdaogou for less than two hours (exchanged fire with the 81st Army and the 1st Cavalry Brigade, which was blocked), were disrupted by the charge launched by our armored division and the cavalry brigade. Nearly 16,000 people from two cavalry brigades interspersed and strangled on the Japanese battlefield, and the Japanese, who were already suffering heavy casualties were even worse.
Cavalry and infantry are fighting in the field, and the result is no need to be said, not to mention the armored tanks and other firepower are helping them kill the enemy.
After capturing Tongliao, the "Gao 1 Column" left behind the 81st Army, which had relatively high casualties in this blocking battle, stayed in Tongliao. While resting and defending, the soldiers selected the site to build a new airport in Tongliao.
This is a plan that Commander-in-Chief Gao has long set for the future support of the Northeast battlefield based on the actual mineral resources situation in Tongliao.
A very special engineering unit set out with all the armies who came out of the pass to fight against Japan, and was marching with the large army of the "Gao 1 Column" and was stopping in Kailu. After receiving the battle report of capturing Tongliao, the engineering team immediately went to Tongliao.
Tongliao has ready-made cement ore and limestone. After more than ten days, a simple runway, a large apron and related supporting facilities will be basically completed. The official runway can be officially used after the first settling in half a month.
The "Gao 1 Column" advancing from Tongliao made the Japanese retreat unsuccessful. The impact plains in the central areas of the three eastern provinces allowed the strength of our armored troops to be well played. Along the way, with the cooperation of the cavalry division, the Northeast Plain was in a mess, and the Japanese devils retreated one after another.
The "Great 2 and 3 Columns" also began to join forces to attack Chifeng on September 23. As a major exit for the Japanese army to advance westward and southward, the Japanese deployed heavy troops in Chifeng. There were nearly 50,000 people in two main divisions. They also strengthened the equipment of a cavalry corps and artillery corps. With the division's own two artillery corps, the Japanese deployed an artillery brigade in Chifeng.
This time, the Japanese used the dangerous terrain of the Chifeng Pass to prevent our army from advancing eastward. The terrain of the mountain pass was not conducive to the operation of our armored troops, and the attacking terrain also caused the Gao family army's artillery to lose obvious advantages.
The "Gao 2 and 3 Columns" include the 103rd Army of the Guangxi Army, the 101st Army, the 91st Army of the Guangdong Army, the 71st Army of the Yunnan Army, the 23rd Army of the Northwest Army, the 2nd Artillery Division, and the 2nd Armored Forces Division, with a total of nearly 350,000 main troops.
Of course, the 7th Army of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Allied Forces (formerly Northwest Army Detachment) also sent a main division to cooperate with the large army operations on this line.
In addition to the 103rd Army of the Gui Army and the 101st Army had slightly higher combat effectiveness, the 23rd Army of the Northwest Army (formerly the 17th Army) has improved all equipment in recent years, and Commander-in-Chief Gao of the other two armies asked them to make up for their own numbers. Li ** took the initiative to ask for battle this time and led the team to fight in person, so he would take the initiative to serve as the head coach of these two armies.
