The New Regiment and the Jizhong Eighth Route Army also successfully joined forces.
Li Yunlong and District Chief Lu hit it off immediately, and they regretted meeting each other so late.
Both armies planned to rest in the Jinzhou area for a few days before continuing to attack northward.
at the same time.
Taiyuan.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
The head of the headquarters had just finished a bowl of noodles. The noodles were made from pure wheat, and there were meat whistles, plenty of oil and water, and spicy oil, which made it taste very delicious.
Although the chief advocated strict economic policy and took the lead in implementing it himself.
But now that the army is rich, the leader cannot eat steamed buns and pickles every day.
"Chief, we just received a call from the frontline headquarters."
The chief of staff held the telegram in his hand, walked quickly to the chief, and reported with a smile on his face:
"The battle on the Jinzhou battlefield has ended. The New Regiment and the Jizhong Military Region troops have completely annihilated the Japanese 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division."
The frontline headquarters will send telegrams to report the progress and situation of the battle to the headquarters at any time.
so.
The head of the headquarters naturally knew that the main force of the new regiment had arrived at the Jinzhou battlefield and formed an encirclement situation against the Japanese.
Even when Sun Liangcheng engaged in telecommunications fraud against the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army was able to surround the Japanese, and the head of the headquarters also knew about it.
"So fast?"
The commander's eyes widened slightly, he took the telegram from the chief of staff's hand and read it.
Tens of thousands of Japs are already dead in the urn, although the commander predicts that it will not take long for these three Japs divisions to be completely wiped out.
However, the good news from the frontline headquarters came much faster than the chief had imagined.
"Well done!"
After reading the telegram, the leader slapped his hand on the table and sounded excited.
"I agree to Comrade Li Yunlong's request and give all the captured Japanese army baggage to the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region."
After a pause, the leader smiled slightly and said.
In addition to the good news, yesterday the New Regiment sent a telegram to the headquarters about the seizure of the baggage of three Japanese divisions. Yesterday the head of the headquarters also called back to congratulate Li Yunlong on his fortune.
but.
This time the chief congratulated Li Yunlong on his wealth, not to defeat Li Yunlong.
These three Japanese divisions are so heavy, how can they kill three Japanese divisions, and among them there is an A-level Japanese army worth a lot of money?
Therefore, Li Yunlong requested that these supplies be given to the Jizhong Eighth Route Army, and the commander agreed without much thought.
Even though this batch of supplies includes six to seven hundred trucks, thousands of mules and horses, as well as a large amount of weapons, ammunition and other supplies.
This battle.
If it weren't for the troops of the Jizhong Military Region, they held back three Japanese divisions in the Jinzhou area, creating favorable conditions for the main force of the new regiment to surround the Japanese.
I'm afraid it's not that easy to annihilate all the Japs from these three divisions.
"correct……"
The leader suddenly thought of something, looked at the chief of staff and asked: "Where is the Japanese Lieutenant General? Why didn't Li Yunlong mention it? Should the Japanese Lieutenant General be killed?"
Killing a Japanese lieutenant general resulted in 24 203mm heavy howitzers, 24 Katyusha rocket launchers, and a large number of trucks, fuel, ordnance production lines, etc.
If this battle goes as expected, we should be able to kill 3 Japanese lieutenant generals and 2 Japanese major generals, right?
"The body of the Japanese Lieutenant General has not been found yet. It was probably blown to pieces in the artillery fire."
The chief of staff said with a smile.
"The Japanese army is honestly broken. If that's the case," the commander immediately laughed, "then it's really broken. Immediately forward this good news to YA and the Eighth Route Army's mountain city office."
News that the Eighth Route Army had completely annihilated three Japanese divisions quickly spread in Taiyuan.
People in Taiyuan took to the streets one after another and set off firecrackers to celebrate, making it as lively as the Chinese New Year.
…
Peking.
Iron Lion Alley.
North China Front Army Headquarters.
"Reporting to General, all radio signals of the 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division, Division Headquarters, Brigade Headquarters, Wing Headquarters and Group Headquarters have all disappeared..."
In the operations hall, the communications staff officer looked like a dead parent and walked in quickly to report to Neji Okamura.
All the senior Japanese officers, including Okamura Neiji, Yusue Seizo and Yamamoto Kazuki, were immediately stunned.
The disappearance of all radio signals from the three divisions means that these three divisions were completely annihilated.
A few hours ago, the 11th Division Headquarters and the 40th Division Headquarters sent farewell telegrams.
However, the farewell telegrams from the two divisions and regiments were interrupted only halfway through.
Then, all the officers' eyes turned to Okamura Neji.
Although there were no major mistakes in command, the blame for the entire 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division rests with Neji Okamura.
Who called him the commander of the North China Front?
However, Okamura Neji's mental quality has been trained to be quite strong now.
After all, under his command, the Locust Army had crushed dozens of generals and more than 200,000 officers and soldiers.
The division commanders of these three divisions and the entire Locust Army were shattered, and it was not enough to make Okamura Neji faint.
but.
After all, it was also the main force of nearly 60,000 locust troops, including 3 lieutenant generals and 2 major generals. The whole body was broken into pieces, which still made Okamura Neji feel dizzy.
Okamura Neji is unlucky enough if he thinks about it.
In this battle, he had exhausted all his traps, but he didn't expect to be scammed by telecommunications.
Okamura Neji's right hand tightly grasped the handle of the general's sword. He looked at the vase in the corner, wanting to practice a wave of sword skills.
But in the end, Okamura let go of his right hand.
The most important thing now is to stabilize the morale of the military.
If the commander like him is in a state of chaos, the morale of the officers and soldiers below him will also become even lower.
"It is very regrettable that the 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division are all in pieces."
Taking a deep breath, Okamura Neji glanced at the officers and said in a deep voice:
"However... the current battlefield situation, everything is still under the control of the Locust Army."
Neji Okamura forcibly boosted morale.
However, there are all senior officers of the Japanese army present. Except for a few idiots, who can be a senior officer?
Okamura's forceful attempt to extract a wave of morale not only had no effect, but also made the officers' faces become more solemn.
It's over... The commander was already so angry that he was talking nonsense.
No matter which angle you look at from 360 degrees, the battlefield situation is not under the control of the Locust Army.
This is the entirety of one Type A division and two Type B divisions!
Under normal circumstances, if the Locust Army suffered such heavy casualties, the front army commander would definitely be dismissed from his post.
Of course, Okamura Neji is in a special situation and will not be dismissed from his official position for the time being.
Seeing the reactions of the officers, Okamura Neiji was silent for a while and continued: "On the northern battlefield, the Eighth Route Army still failed to capture Zhangjiakou. On the southern battlefield, after the Battle of Jinzhou, the Eighth Route Army must have suffered greater losses, and the Locust Army
If we have some methods to deal with the Eighth Route Army's tank troops, we will definitely be able to hold on until the main force of the Kwantung Army and the 11th Army arrive, and wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop!"
"The Locust Army will win this battle!"
Okamura's words were so convincing that even he himself believed them.
"The locust army will win!"
All the Japanese officers could only shout in unison.
