Mu Changqiu had his reasons for doing this. As early as when the troops were divided, Chen Hanzhang had repeatedly told Mu Changqiu to consider the mood of the Mongolian nation in Suiyuan. Regarding the lamasery and some buildings with historical value in Guisui City,
You must pay attention to protecting the objects. If the Japanese troops escape, do not use artillery fire as much as possible unless it is absolutely necessary, so as not to arouse national sentiment.
At the same time, Chen Hanzhang ordered him to capture as many prisoners as possible after the puppet Mongolian autonomous government in Guisui City was captured. Especially after the launch of this battle, the central government named King De and Li Shouxin.
, Wu Heling, three people must be captured alive. The rest of the traitors and traitors must also be seen alive and their bodies must be seen dead.
Guisui is the so-called capital of the Puppet-Mongolian United Autonomous Government. This nominally belongs to the Wang Puppet regime, but is actually an independent puppet regime. Almost all institutions are located in Guisui City. Although these traitors and Mongolian traitors are
Everyone can be killed, but the central government requires these traitors to be captured alive as much as possible.
After entering Guisui City, Mu Changqiu immediately began to conduct arrests based on the list produced by the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment. However, although he captured the puppet Minister of Civil Affairs, Minister of Finance, and Minister of Animal Industry, and was now renamed Houhe by the puppet regime,
The mayor of Haut Special City and more than a dozen famous rapists.
However, the four giants of the puppet Mongolian autonomous government, the so-called Mongolian United Autonomous Government Chairman De Wang, Vice Chairman and Commander-in-Chief of the Mongolian Army Li Shouxin, Senate Speaker Wu Heling, and Executive President Zhuote Bazhapu all followed the Japanese army.
Inside the General Suiyuan Mansion.
Although this Suiyuan General's Mansion is not a lamasery, considering the architectural structure and the historical value mentioned by the commander, coupled with the traitors and traitors named by the central government, Mu Changqiu made the final deployment of the encirclement and annihilation campaign.
It's a bit tricky.
But for Mu Changqiu, an order is an order and must not be violated. So after careful consideration, he finally gave up the method of directly using it in Guihua City and covered the building and the Japanese and puppet troops inside with artillery fire.
In order to send them to the west together, they still chose bt tanks with small caliber guns as close-range direct firepower to cover the infantry attack.
The infantry adopted the tactics of multiple penetrations and simultaneous attacks to disperse the Japanese troops. In order to reduce casualties, after breaking through the perimeter, Mu Changqiu disassembled a twin-mounted 14mm machine gun and transported it into the huge courtyard.
, directly responsible for the task of covering the front-line infantry attack.
At this moment, except for the Japanese troops at General Guisui's Mansion, who were still carrying out their final desperate resistance, the gunfire in other directions throughout Suiyuan City had all calmed down. Some of the Japanese and puppet troops who were trapped at the North City Gate were in the 15th Regiment.
The two reinforced companies were all annihilated under the front and rear pincer attacks.
The Japanese troops in the south of the city also encountered the third battalion of the 13th Regiment when they were returning to support the breach. After two hours of fierce fighting, all more than 200 Japanese troops in the unit were killed. More than 700 puppet Mongolian troops laid down their weapons and surrendered.
In other words, after one night and two days of fierce fighting, the overall situation for the entire Japanese and puppet troops inside and outside Guisui City, except for the more than a hundred remaining Japanese troops trapped in Suiyuan General's Mansion, has basically been established.
At this time, Mu Changqiu, who had received Chen Hanzhang's telegram and did not have much time to delay in Guisui, gave the order to the troops attacking the General's Mansion that the battle must be ended within three hours. The rest of the later stage of the clearing was left to the troops who marched together.
The main force of the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment in the city was carried out.
He himself commanded the troops to take a short rest, and used this rare rest time to overhaul the equipment, place the wounded, and adjust supplies. After the final battle was over, he would intersperse with the main force in the direction of Suinan according to the planned plan.
Convergence.
In fact, the troops who participated in the final battle did not wait for three hours. Although the troops who finally participated in the battle paid a considerable price in the desperate struggle of the Japanese army, the final battle ended within two hours.
It ended neatly, and all the Japanese and puppet troops using the General's Mansion as their last stronghold of resistance were wiped out.
At the last moment, Lieutenant General Itachi Nishihara, the commander of the cavalry group of the Japanese Mongolian garrison, hid in an underground fortification with his wife, a group of staff around him, and some seriously injured people, and committed suicide by firing a whole box of grenades.
.Except for the Japanese soldiers who were killed, all the remaining Japanese officers and soldiers also committed suicide.
As for the three traitors named by the central government, they did not have the courage to commit suicide. Seeing that their backers had fallen, they surrendered directly with their guards. As soon as these guys got their hands on them, they were stuffed into a special plane from Linxi.
The transport plane was transferred and sent to Yan'an. The central government urgently needed to find out some important information from their mouths.
In particular, certain things involving the Mongolian people are what the central government urgently needs to know. Otherwise, what should these three scum among the Chinese do? As early as after the Western Front Cluster captured the Guisui Airport, a plane had already
After arriving, we were on standby at the airport, ready to send these and other rapists named by the central government to Yan'an at any time.
The Battle of Guisui here has entered the final stage. At the same time as the Battle of Guisui started, the Battle of Guisui over there crossed Guisui and rushed westward to cooperate with the main force of the Jinsui Military Region to seize Baotou. The group formed by this group
The rapid detachment is marching westward under the guidance of a cavalry battalion of the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment.
The true intention of this unit is not to really participate in the battle to capture Baotou. In this battle, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region plus the troops mobilized by the central government from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region formed a total of nine brigades and three cavalry
Brigade, three independent infantry regiments, and four artillery regiments participated in the battle.
In this battle, the Jinsui Military Region mobilized the entire army. Except for a few newly mobilized regiments, all the old troops were incorporated into the northward operation. Facing the two divisions of the puppet Mongolian army in Baotou, a cavalry brigade,
Two infantry squadrons, with the Jinsui Military Region, is enough, and there is no need for the Anti-Resistance Alliance to join them.
Their real mission is that while the main force of the Jinsui Military Region is still rushing towards Baotou, and after arriving in Baotou, they must try their best to seize Baotou. They have no time to look west for the time being. They cooperate with some of the advance troops of the Jinsui Military Region to seize Uzbekistan.
The line from Liang Suhai to the Wuga River cuts off any intention to intervene in certain directions.
At the same time that the troops on the western front arrived in Guisui, the leading troops of the Jinsui Military Region had already arrived outside Baotou and had begun to compete for some strongholds outside Baotou. The Japanese and puppet troops in Baotou were bound to shrink when they were attacked, which already had some shortcomings.
strength. Under such circumstances, with the ability of the commander on the Hetao side, it would be strange if this opportunity could not be seized.
Although it is known that the intervention of the Hetao is almost 100% likely to occur, no matter from the military or economic perspectives, apart from the Hetao in Suixi and the Ordos Plateau, Yang Zhen is sure to eat alone in Suiyuan.
.Because seizing Suiyuan can directly protect the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and open up connections with the customs. The rich mineral resources here are necessary for Yang Zhen to establish his own modern defense industry.
In addition to the rich iron ore, rare metals and rare earth resources in Darhan and Maoming'an Banners in the north of Baotou, Baotou itself has high-quality coking coal and thermal coal needed by the metallurgical industry. Moreover, Baotou is close to the Yellow River and has limited water resources.
Lack of oil. In the south, northern Shaanxi, there are still abundant oil resources.
Many people may know that there is oil in northern Shaanxi. Especially people of later generations are very familiar with the famous Yanchang Oilfield located in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Basin. However, during the Anti-Japanese War, the central government relied on the limited machinery on hand to take
Various methods have been used, and even indigenous methods have been implemented to ensure the continued production of oil and partial smelting. I am afraid that almost no one knows about it.
The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region was the first area where the Chinese discovered oil. In modern times, China's first oil well was drilled. Although the output has not been high due to equipment and technology limitations. During the Anti-Japanese War, due to the lack of oil production equipment and technology, every year
The output is maintained at several hundred tons. The kerosene extracted from it is one of the central government's main financial sources.
Many people in later generations took the words out of context and accused the central government of selling so-called special goods such as opium to maintain the source of funds during the Northern Shaanxi period. However, Yang Zhen only knew clearly after arriving in Yan'an.
, these special goods are basically crude oil and some products, except for pool salt and coal from northern Shaanxi.
Although the centrally refined kerosene has high impurities due to low technology, the price is somewhat low. However, it is precisely because of the price advantage that it is very popular in the entire northwest region. Mobil's kerosene is good, but at this price
It’s also high. Although the quality of the kerosene produced in Yan’an is somewhat poor, the price is acceptable to everyone, so sales have always been good.
The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region is rich in oil resources, but lacks equipment and technology, resulting in low production and refining capacity. It even deliberately reduces oil production because the refining capacity is too low and there are no dedicated storage facilities. If the Anti-Japanese Alliance can open up the relationship with
Direct contact with northern Shaanxi and transporting equipment to northern Shaanxi can greatly reduce the burden of the Anti-Japanese League's support to the North China base area.
At the very least, the oil required for the vehicles and mechanized equipment provided to the North China troops does not have to be transported all the way from the Northeast. If the oil reserves in Yan'an are really developed, they can fully meet all needs. And the oil wells here are
Although the geological conditions are somewhat complex, the drilling depth is far lower than that in the Northeast.
In addition to the rich resources in northern Shaanxi and the local area, the Ordos Plateau in the west of Baotou is also rich in coal, oil, uranium ore, Glauber's salt, salt, alkali and other resources. In addition to the current sparsely populated area due to some reasons, and
Apart from the very convenient transportation, it can be said that the Baotou area is almost a completely self-sufficient special steel smelting base and chemical raw material base.
In later generations, this place was the largest steel producer in the entire northwest, and also the producer of China's main armor steel, special steels, and rare metals. It can even be said that without the successful construction of Baotou Steel, there would have been no fully independent military industry for the Chinese people in later generations.
At the moment, it is almost crucial to Yang Zhen's entire development plan that the situation cannot be firmly controlled here.
It is precisely because the Baotou area is in an extremely important position in Yang Zhen's entire industrial development plan. That's why Yang Zhen repeatedly told Chen Hanzhang to seize the surrounding areas of Baotou at all costs. Even if it is with the Eighth War Zone in the Hetao area
The troops turned their backs and wanted to firmly control the east of the Ujia River, the east coast of the Uliangsuhai Sea and the Selten Mountains.
In fact, if he were not worried about triggering a full-scale civil war, Yang Zhen even wanted to eat the Ordos Plateau and the Hetao area together. Because in the Ordos Plateau, there are uranium mines that he urgently needs most at the moment, as well as a large number of easily mined coal mines. Not only the reserves
It is enough to meet the needs, and the mining difficulty is much smaller than that in the Northeast.
Putting aside the current national crisis and the feeling of sympathy for this famous general that was separated by time and space. In fact, in his heart, Yang Zhen was somewhat expecting that the Loop would be the first to take action for some reason.
Create an opportunity for yourself and capture the Ordos Plateau in one fell swoop.
