Whether it is fighting the Japanese or surrendering to the Japanese, then following the Japanese to fight against the Eighth Route Army.
Sun Liangcheng wanted to lead his brothers to survive.
From Sun Liangcheng's perspective, perhaps his choice was the right one.
But from the perspective of the country and the nation, it is not an exaggeration to say that Sun Liangcheng betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, and was executed by Lingchi.
After all, he had fought with the Japanese against the Eighth Route Army, and Sun Liangcheng knew that surrendering to the Eighth Route Army would not end well.
So when the battle came to this, Sun Liangcheng just wanted to grab the bucket and run away.
If he didn't run away, it would only be a matter of time before his troops would be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.
And he has only one way to die.
Before, the Japanese army said they had air support, but he was still hesitant and had not yet made up his mind to escape.
But after discovering that he had been deceived, the Japanese army did not send any planes for air support. This made Sun Liangcheng determined to escape with his troops.
There was a burst of crackling gunfire outside the headquarters.
After a while, the operational staff officer who left quickly ran in with a gun and reported to Sun Liangcheng: "Report to the commander, the locust army at the door has been eliminated!"
A few hours ago, Sun Liangcheng's combat staff had already arranged elite soldiers at the door.
As soon as there was a move inside the headquarters, the elite soldiers outside the headquarters immediately opened fire on those Japanese soldiers.
Regardless of whether they were calculating or not, the more than twenty Japanese brought by the Japanese Major were beaten into pieces within a minute.
"Have you given orders to the brothers?"
Sun Liangcheng looked at the communications consultant holding the phone and asked in a deep voice.
"Commander, where should we retreat to?"
The communications officer covered the microphone and asked.
"Let's go to Yu Province to find the National Army." Sun Liangcheng took out a letter of appointment, "This is the letter of appointment given to me by the Chairman of the General Committee."
"yes!"
The communications staff officer responded, released the phone, and began to call the puppet troops on various positions to order them to retreat.
at the same time.
As Sun Liangcheng's order was issued.
Afraid of being blocked by the Japanese, Sun Liangcheng arranged an elite force in advance to sneak attack the Japanese headquarters.
The Japanese army lost their command system, and when they saw the puppet troops retreating like a tide, they were at a loss.
There were even local battles between the puppet troops and the Japanese on the battlefield.
When some Japanese soldiers saw the puppet troops retreating, they also retreated with the puppet troops.
In short, the entire defense line of the Japanese and puppet troops collapsed at once, and they were defeated like a mountain.
In some places, the Japanese and the puppet troops were shooting at each other. In some positions, the Japanese were still holding on, while almost all the puppet troops were running in the opposite direction.
After the new regiment's fighter squadron completed its bombing.
The scouts near the Japanese and puppet army positions keenly discovered that the Japanese and puppet troops had been defeated.
The situation was then reported to the regiment headquarters.
Naturally, Li Yunlong would not miss this opportunity to beat the drowned dog, so he ordered the entire army to attack.
As the order from the regiment headquarters was issued, tens of thousands of the main elite troops of the new regiment, guided by the tanks, rushed towards the Japanese and puppet army's positions like a tide.
There were a few Japanese who resisted, but without causing any trouble, they were directly wiped out by the new group.
"Report to the leader."
Inside the headquarters, Xing Zhiguo reported to Li Yunlong:
"At present, our army has cleared the outer positions of Shimen City, and the army is attacking the inner part of Shimen City and Zhengding."
"It was a beautiful battle."
Li Yunlong nodded, his expression very satisfied.
His battle plan was to capture Shimen City and Zhengding before dark.
But it's still early before dark.
They captured Shimen City and Zhengding a few hours earlier than expected.
"what happened?"
"How come the Japanese and puppet troops were defeated so quickly?"
Li Yunlong first praised, and then asked in a puzzled tone.
"The specific situation is still unclear." Xing Zhiguo said, "But according to the news from the scouts in front, it is said that the puppet troops escaped first, and some Japanese soldiers also ran away, and some Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers were directly on the position.
Let’s get started.”
Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, revealing his guess, and then said: "I guess the high-level officials of the puppet army gave the order to retreat, and the Japanese wanted to hold on to their positions, so a conflict occurred."
"Hey." Xing Zhiguo said, "No matter what, the war between the Japanese and the puppet army is just a dog biting a dog, and it will save us the trouble."
Ding ding ding——
The phone on the table rang, and Xing Zhiguo picked it up.
Afterwards, after Xing Zhiguo listened to the report, he reported to Li Yunlong with a slight smile:
"Captain, we have just reloaded the first battalion and reported that a small number of Japs have fled into Shimen City and Zhengding County. They are defending the city and the frontline troops are applying to use Father's Hammer to bombard the Japs on the wall."
"These guys..." Li Yunlong burst out laughing after hearing this, "A 150mm howitzer is enough to bombard a city wall, but you still want to use my fatherly hammer?"
"But then again, this Father's Hammer will gather dust just sitting there. It can be taken out for a walk occasionally."
"Pass my order, the 18th Battalion, the 32nd Battalion, and the Security Brigade of the Central Hebei Military Region are to stay behind to eliminate the Japanese in Shimen City and Zhengding."
"The 1st Battalion of 203mm Howitzers will cooperate."
"Yes!" The communications officer on the side finished recording, turned around and left quickly.
"In which direction did the puppet army escape?" Li Yunlong asked.
"According to reports from the pursuit troops, the puppet troops ran south." Xing Zhiguo replied.
"Order the troops to give up the pursuit of the puppet troops." Li Yunlong immediately ordered, "The remaining troops will all rush to the Jinzhou battlefield as quickly as possible. Let's stab Takashi Moritaka in the ass!"
"yes!"
Xing Zhiguo turned around and went to deliver the order.
At this time, Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo were on the front line, while Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou were still in Jingxing County.
As Li Yunlong's order was issued, the troops of the new regiment took a short rest and began to have lunch to replenish energy.
Cars and tanks also fill up quickly.
…
at the same time.
Jinju battlefield.
The 11th Division and the 40th Division quietly changed their attack positions without the knowledge of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong troops.
The 40th Division, which was originally attacking on the left wing, was transferred to the front of the main position of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Force.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The troops of the 11th Division moved to the left wing position.
"Reporting to the head of the division."
"The attack troops of the 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division have assembled into attack positions!"
Inside the Japanese military headquarters, Chief of Staff Masao Nishihara reported to Takamori Takami.
"Yoshi!"
"Fire 15 minutes of artillery fire on the Eighth Route Army positions!"
"After the shelling is over, immediately attack the Eighth Route Army's position. This time, we must capture the Eighth Route Army's position!"
Takamori Takashi gave the order with gloomy eyes.
One A-type division and two B-type divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army fought on this plain terrain for so long, but they were still unable to defeat a second-level military region unit of the Eighth Route Army.
It's simply a shame.
"Hi."
Nishihara Masao turned around and went to deliver the order.
As the order from the division headquarters was issued, the Japanese artillery positions began operations.
A dense explosion wave rose on the position of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong troops.
"Yoshi."
In the ring fortress, Takamori Takashi's expression softened slightly as he stood on the ladder and watched the shells continue to explode on the Eighth Route Army position.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the division headquarters has lost contact with the Locust Army in Shimen City and Zhengding."
Colonel Saihara Masao walked over quickly and reported to Takamori Takaton.
Takamori Takashi's expression suddenly changed.
The division headquarters has lost contact with the Locust Army in Shimen City and Zhengding. This is not good news.
Once the defense lines in Shimen City and Zhengding are broken through by the Eighth Route Army, with the speed of the new regiment of mechanized infantry of the Eighth Route Army, they will probably be able to reach the Jinzhou battlefield in a few hours.
Takashi Takamori quickly walked down the ladder and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Could it be that Shimen City and Zhengding have been captured by the Eighth Route Army?"
"It's not clear yet, but the radio signals from Shimen City and the Zhengding Locust Army Headquarters disappeared more than half an hour ago. Our radio stations have been calling, but there has been no answer."
Nishihara Masao replied:
"According to common sense, if Shimen City and Zhengding are about to be captured by the Eighth Route Army, the Locust Army headquarters there will definitely send a farewell telegram to the division headquarters."
"It's also possible that the radio is broken."
Radio stations are also very precious to the Japanese.
Anyway, those Japs left in Shimen City and Zhengding are just cannon fodder.
Therefore, before the Japanese army left, they only left one radio for the Japanese there to communicate with the division headquarters and report on the Eighth Route Army's offensive situation at any time.
"Do you want to contact the Locust Alliance Second Front Army Headquarters?"
Takamori asked in a deep voice.
"I immediately ordered the Communications Department to contact the Locust Alliance Second Front Army Headquarters."
Nishihara Seifu's face froze, he really hadn't contacted Sun Liangcheng, and then turned around and left.
…
Under an ancient tree, Sun Liangcheng got off his horse, took the kettle from the guard's hand, took a sip of water, and breathed heavily.
Around him, puppet soldiers kept passing by with guns in hand.
These puppet soldiers all looked like they had abandoned their armor.
Although the command from the headquarters had been issued to various departments of the puppet army, the main force of the Eighth Route Army quickly caught up.
His troops either surrendered to the Eighth Route Army or fled in all directions.
When we withdrew from the position, there were still 15,000 soldiers, but now there are less than 3,000.
Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army had stopped its pursuit, otherwise only a few hundred of the more than 3,000 people would be left in the end.
"Commander, report to the commander."
The communications staff officer ran over quickly with the puppet telegraph soldiers carrying telegrams and reported to Sun Liangcheng:
"The Japanese 11th Division headquarters just called us, asking why they couldn't contact the Locust Army headquarters in Shimen City?"
"Huh." Sun Liangcheng couldn't help snorting after hearing this.
These devils left them as cannon fodder in Shimen City and Zhengding. How dare you ask?
"Immediately call back Takamori Takashi and tell him that the locust army has been killed by us."
Sun Liangcheng snorted coldly.
"yes!"
The communications staff officer and telegraph soldier straightened up and were about to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute." Sun Liangcheng rolled his eyes slightly and called to the communications staff and telegraph soldier.
"Immediately report to the Japanese 11th Division Headquarters, saying that the Locust Army Command has been covered by heavy artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army. All the officers of the Locust Army Command have been shattered. At present, the Locust Army and Locust Army are still in the outer positions of Shimen City and Zhengding.
In the hands of the Allied Forces, we asked Lieutenant General Takamori Takashi for tactical guidance." Sun Liangcheng said.
At this time, it would not be a good idea for the Japanese to know that the 2nd Front Army had escaped and that they had attacked the Japanese headquarters in Shimen City.
There are still a large number of Japanese troops in central China and Henan Province.
If the Japs knew that they not only escaped before the battle, but also killed some Japs and even the Japs headquarters.
Then the Japanese decided that it was impossible to let them go.
When leaving, Sun Liangcheng also cut off the heads of several Japanese majors and took the Japanese command saber as a certificate of surrender for returning to the national army.
The Japanese launched a wave of telecommunications fraud against the Japanese and puppet troops in Shimen City and Zhengding.
Therefore, Sun Liangcheng also prepared to commit a wave of telecommunications fraud on Takashi Takamori.
"yes!"
The communications staff member straightened up, and according to Sun Liangcheng's order, he quickly drafted a telegram and asked the telegraph soldiers to quickly send it out.
…
Jinju battlefield.
Japanese Army Command Headquarters.
More than ten minutes later.
After the Japanese artillery bombardment was completed, the Japanese infantry who entered the attack position immediately launched a simultaneous attack on the Eighth Route Army position from the left, center and right.
at the same time.
Air support from the Eighth Route Army arrived, including 20 attack planes and 20 fighter jets, which launched a wave of aerial bombs against the attacking Japanese.
The Japs of the 40th Division who attacked the main position suffered particularly heavy losses.
In the headquarters, Takashi Takamori watched the troops of the 11th Division attack the left-wing position of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong troops, with a look of satisfaction on his face: "Yoshi, my Tian Ji horse racing tactic worked."
"Your Excellency, the division commander, is so wise, I admire you so much!"
Nishihara Seifu slapped him in the right moment with a flattery.
"Order the large forces of the 11th Division to press forward and defeat the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong troops in one fell swoop, and then order the 40th and 56th Divisions to attack across the board."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Takashi Takamori smiled slightly and gave the order.
"Hi."
Seio Nishihara picked up the phone and gave orders to each unit.
At this moment, the communications staff officer walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand and reported to Takamori Takahui: "Reporting to the division leader, Lieutenant General Sun Liangcheng, commander of the 2nd Front Army of the Locust Alliance Army, just sent a telegram to Shimen City.
The Locust Army headquarters was covered by the heavy artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army and was completely shattered. However, the position is still in the hands of the Locust Army and the Locust Alliance Army. Lieutenant General Sun Liangcheng requested tactical guidance!"
Takashi Takamori's expression relaxed when he heard this.
As long as the position is still in the hands of the Locust Army and the Locust Alliance Army, it will be fine.
In this way, the backs of the 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division will be safe.
"Call back to Sun Liangcheng immediately. From now on, all the locust armies in Shimen City and Zhengding will be under his command, and he will order them to stay in Shimen City and Zhengding for two days."
"Two days later, Sun Liangcheng led the Locust Army and the Locust Alliance Army to move towards Baoding!"
"After this battle, I personally guarantee that General Sun Liangcheng can change his nationality and become a member of the Japanese Empire!"
Takamori thought for a moment and then said.
"Hi."
The communications staff officer finished recording, turned around and left quickly.
…
at the same time.
Jingxing County, Eighth Route Army frontline headquarters.
Wang Dehou quickly walked into the headquarters and reported to Li Yunlong: "Reporting to the head of the regiment, 1,500 vehicles have been prepared, and the fuel for cars, armored vehicles and tanks has been filled."
"Order to reload the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion and 3rd Battalion to take a short rest."
Li Yunlong looked solemn:
"The 4th, 5th and 6th Heavy Battalions boarded the vehicles immediately, and the 4th, 5th and 6th Battalions of 122mm Heavy Artillery, as well as the Heavy Tank Battalion, immediately set off for the Jinju battlefield."
In order to arrive at the Jinzhou battlefield as soon as possible and complete the encirclement of the Japanese, the new regiment prepared a large number of vehicles and fuel supplies in advance.
