Chapter 747: Going south with the power of victory
"Commander **, the division headquarters has informed you to go to the division headquarters for a meeting immediately, and take Iinuma Mamoru with you by the way!" The correspondent relayed the contents of the walkie-talkie to Zhou Weihan.
"Okay, I understand!" Zhou Weihan nodded when he heard this, thinking that he was still a teacher, and political commissar D could sit still, so he asked Iinuma Mamoru to be taken over.
This place is not far from the location of the division headquarters, only five or six miles away. Zhou Weihan asked the monk to find a carriage, threw Iinuma Mamoru who was closing his eyes to rest in it, and the group went straight to the division headquarters.
The division headquarters is located on the flat ground behind the 385th Brigade. Just approaching the division headquarters, Zhou Weihanjing heard the beeping radio: "Political Commissar!"
"Well, wait for them first!" Political Commissar D glanced at Iinuma Mamoru on the carriage, and then said: "Is this the division commander of the 110th Division?"
"It's him. He has confirmed his identity with the captured Japanese soldier. This person is Mamoru Iinuma!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Political Commissar, you wrote the mobilization order yourself, annihilating the 110th Division and capturing Iinuma Mamoru alive. Now Iinuma Mamoru is right in front of you, why are you not excited at all?" Zhou Weihan asked curiously.
"Haha, I said, Zhou Weihan, the Japanese are also mortals. Mamoru Iinuma's greatest value is his identity as the commander of the 110th Division. This can be a good thing!"
"As for how excited I am? I think annihilating the 110th Division is much more meaningful than capturing a division commander alive, what do you think?" Political Commissar D said.
"Yes, yes, you are the chief, you are right!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"You, you!" As Political Commissar D spoke, he took out a box of Tainan brand cigarettes from his pocket. He first gave one to Zhou Weihan, then picked up one in his own hand, and then looked at the two monks: "These two
The comrade who captured Mamoru Iinuma alive? I know Man Kongang, what’s your name?”
"Reporting to the leader, my name is Wei Dayong, you can just call me monk!" The monk showed a confusing and silly smile.
"Well, at first glance, he is a good comrade and a real person!" Political Commissar D threw the remaining cigarettes to the monk after saying: "The headquarters and division headquarters will reward you, but when it comes to practical benefits, in my case
Don’t even think about it. After returning to the base area, if you have any requests, just ask Zhou Weihan and I will agree on his behalf!”
"Yes, thank you, chief!" Monk and Wan Jingang responded in unison.
Not long after, the division commander, chief of staff and several other commanders rushed to the division headquarters.
"Under our army's arduous long-distance attack, the battle to encircle and annihilate the 110th Division in Motou Town went very smoothly, with great results. This was the first time that our Eighth Route Army annihilated the main force of the Japanese division in one fell swoop in a field battle.
The battle is of great significance to our Eighth Route Army. It is a mobile war and a war of annihilation that can be recorded in the history of war!"
"There are many things worth thinking about for our commanders. After we go back, we must sum up our experiences. This kind of battles will often happen in the future. Our commanders must change their thinking appropriately in order to better command the battle!" said the division commander!
.
Several people present nodded, and Zhou Weihan said: "Sir, what are the arrangements next?"
"Why, do you have any good ideas? You can't just fight back to Shimen, right?" the teacher joked.
"That's not the case. Let's not talk about the general need for soldiers to rest and recuperate. The Japs' mopping up troops may have arrived at Shimen by now!" Zhou Weihan said.
"You can't bite off more than you can chew. The current results are already very good, but you can do some things on the way. After the soldiers have cleaned up the battlefield, all the troops will go directly south and be divided into eight armies. Take advantage of this opportunity to bring the power of victory.
, in one fell swoop, remove all the strongholds in the Japanese-occupied area from the Shide line south to the southern Hebei base area!" the division commander said with a clear heart.
At about four o'clock in the morning, all the troops were assembled. Although they were heading south, the march route was slightly different. The Luxi Military Region was located on the easternmost side. After arriving at the southern Hebei base area, they could directly return to the Luxi base area.
The six regiments of the Southern Hebei Military Region are scattered in the central part, and the Taibei Military Region, Tainan Military Region, and the Hebei-Luyu Military Region are scattered in the west.
Except for a small number of troops who stayed behind to carry the wounded and baggage, the rest of the main force started from the Shide Line and conducted a dragnet search from north to south, with the intention of wiping out all the Japanese and puppet strongholds within the area.
The 110th Division originally retreated in southern Hebei, but not long after, the Eighth Route Army marched south with the power of victory. Although the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold did not know why a large number of Eighth Route Army appeared, some smart people had some guesses.
All of a sudden, the telephone calls from the Japanese troops in Hengshui and Xingtai rang one after another, and the entire hinterland of southern Hebei was ignited with raging flames of war.
"Commanders of the Eighth Route Army outside, please do not fire. We are all our own people. We surrender!" the puppet troops inside the stronghold shouted.
"Since you have surrendered, come out quickly and don't waste my time!" the soldier shouted.
"Company commander, are you really surrendering? This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers looks strange. They don't look like the group we usually deal with. Don't come out. We'll all get caught!" the puppet soldier said anxiously.
"What else can I do if I don't surrender? I didn't see the Type 92 infantry artillery outside the stronghold. I hide in the gun tower and wait for death. I'll be smarter in a while!"
Not long after, the iron gate of the stronghold opened, and the thirty or so puppet soldiers inside raised their weapons above their heads and walked out in a long queue.
"Comrade, which unit are you from? Have you never seen me before?" the puppet company commander asked carefully.
"Don't pry when it's not your place to pry, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, we understand the rules, brothers, put down your weapons, take away all the materials in the stronghold, and don't cause trouble to the Eighth Route Army comrades!" said the puppet company commander.
Seeing that this group of puppet soldiers were so good at it, the soldiers of the assault group did not give them any trouble: "Don't worry, after arriving at the base area, the superiors will make their own arrangements. I heard that if you perform well, you can be sent to other places to continue to be puppets."
military!"
"Comrade, to tell you the truth, our brothers are from southwestern Shandong. At that time, your army established a relationship with us!" said the puppet company commander.
As the division commander said, taking down the Japanese strongholds was just a matter of help. The Japanese strongholds were not far apart. At first, the attacking troops fired a few symbolic cannons. Later, when the Japanese and puppet troops saw the strongholds behind,
The Eighth Route Army actually carried artillery, and few resisted to the end.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning that day, in addition to the Luxi Military Region, various units of the Eighth Route Army arrived in Nangong County, the core of the southern Hebei base area.
The soldiers were exhausted after repeated battles. The division headquarters immediately ordered all troops to temporarily rest and recuperate in Nangong County.
At the same time, comrades in the southern Hebei base area also prepared meals in advance.
