The night of June 12th was a life-or-death night for the Japanese troops in North China. During the day, bomber formations from the Chinese and American air forces took turns bombing, but the Japanese troops did not dare to show their heads. At night, all Japanese and puppet troops were on the move.
After emergency gatherings last night and today, the Japanese troops in Shanxi retreated to Linfen in southern Shanxi and to Xinkou in northern Shanxi. At this time, they were all rushing to Taiyuan. Trains were running on the North-South Tongpu Railway, and cars and rubber tires were on the highway.
The flow of carts continued. The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Taiyuan and the areas around Yangquan moved faster, rushing towards Shimen along the Zhengtai Railway and the highway from Taiyuan to Shimen.
The main force of the 35th Division on Pinghan Road to block my march south from Baoding also received a retreat order from Okamura Neiji, asking them to use the cover of night to quickly withdraw to the south bank of the Hutuo River to set up defenses. The 36th Division on Jinpu Road
The independent 16th, 17th, and 19th brigades also received the order and quickly retreated to Texas.
Okamura Neiji finally figured it out. His troops were too scattered and could easily be eaten up by our army. He must withdraw to Texas as soon as possible to set up defenses and rely on railway line fortifications. Otherwise, the war situation will become even more corrupt.
Okamura Neiji originally wanted to leave Shimen and go to Texas, but he couldn't worry about the First Army. He wanted to wait for the main force of the First Army at Shimen before heading east together. In other words, Okamura Neiji wanted to hold a heavy army, so that
, just a little bit more confidence.
A remaining flying team of the Japanese army at Shanxi Yuncheng Airport also arrived at Shimen Airport that night. With this flying team, Okamura Neiji was no longer afraid. He could escape by plane at any time.
The Japanese army is on the move, and our army is also rapidly pursuing them.
The Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia were scattered and were in a confrontation with our main force in Jinsui. They had no time to shrink and were cut into several sections by the roaring Dongye Cavalry Corps and the Fourth Corps. Among them, Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army and our Eighth Route Army Jin
The Sui Field Army was responsible for the western end, the cavalry corps broke through in the middle, and the fourth corps captured Zhangjiakou and Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province.
That night, Chen Dayong, commander of the Fourth Dongye Corps, commanded the Seventh Army. After a day and night of assault, the Twelfth Army arrived at the gates of Rehe City and captured the remnants of an independent garrison of the Kwantung Army stationed in Rehe and two puppet Manchukuo troops.
The remnants of the brigade were wiped out in Rehe City. Lei Ming, political commissar of the Fourth Corps and commander of the Fourth Army, commanded the Fourth Army to pursue Zhangjiakou after a long-distance pursuit. With the cooperation of the main force of our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Field Army, the Japanese army was independently mixed into the Second Army.
The brigade was completely wiped out in Zhangjiakou, and more than 10,000 rifles, more than 3,000 machine guns, 21 cannons, 5 million bullets, more than 80,000 artillery shells, and more than 30,000 barrels of gasoline were seized from the Japanese warehouse in Zhangjiakou. This is equivalent to destroying the Japanese army.
The assets of the troops stationed in Mongolia were completely wiped out.
The main force of the Fourth Corps, which had invaded Zhangjiakou and Chengde, received a telegram from Liu Yimin and went south at night to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the main force of the Japanese North China Front.
As for the remnants of the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army and the Puppet Mongolian Army, they were divided and surrounded by our cavalry corps, the main force of Jinsui and Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army. Although the Japanese army was trapped and still fighting, they could never escape our army's snare and could only fight for hours.
Let’s calculate the time of destruction.
Since the Chairman's strategy was to drive the Japanese First Army out of Shanxi, rather than to stop and annihilate it in Shanxi, our troops in Shanxi chased and beat the Japanese and puppet troops, prompting the Japanese troops to flee quickly, leaving basically no troops to stop the Japanese troops.
The First Army retreated its troops.
Battle command is absolutely about skills. When and where to attack must be strictly planned, and no mistakes can be made. The reason why the chairman changed the original deployment and let the Japanese First Army evacuate Shanxi was because he took into account the complex terrain of Shanxi and our own situation in Shanxi.
The equipment of the army. If our army in Shanxi was concentrated to encircle and annihilate the Japanese First Army before the arrival of the main force in Dongye, there was no guarantee that the Japanese army would bite them back and cause severe injuries. The lessons of the Battle of Guanjianao were too profound!
Instead of fighting the Japanese army in the mountains, it is better to let them flee to the North China Plain. Our army in Shanxi then pursued and followed up, blocking the Japanese army's retreat. In this way, we could fight the Japanese army in the plain area and reduce our army's casualties.
The Japanese First Army, which had invaded Shanxi for five years, suddenly retreated without occupying it. Shanxi's military and civilians immediately took action. The main force was in pursuit. Local armed forces, guerrillas, and militia were all pursuing. The militia and guerrillas were pursuing the most intensely.
The team was familiar with the terrain. They carried guns and baskets with mines and grenades in the baskets. They took shortcuts along the ditches to chase the Japs. They just wanted to give the Japs a taste of iron before they fled Shanxi.
The taste of watermelon.
Just as the Eighth Route Army's forward headquarters directed our troops in Shanxi to pursue the retreating troops of the Japanese First Army, the troops in central Hebei Province were also pursuing the Japanese troops.
After the large-scale raids, the Jizhong Plain was full of ruins and ruins. There were new graves in every village, every household wore mourning clothes, and everything was devastated.
The commander of the Jizhong Military Region, Lu Zhengcao, and the political commissar Meng Qingshan led the heroic sons and daughters of Jizhong to pursue and beat the Japs who retreated to the railway line, seeking revenge on the Japs.
The main force of Dongye has not yet arrived, but the soldiers and civilians in central Hebei already know that the main force has returned and Peiping and Tianjin have been liberated. The little Japanese are frightened and want to run away. How can this be done? They just killed people and set fire in central Hebei, and they have done all kinds of bad things. Now, now
If you want to run, think well!
To be honest, the Japanese army's iron wall encirclement in Jizhong was very successful in tactics. If the main force of Dongye hadn't suddenly marched into the pass, forcing the Japanese army to retreat after hearing the news, I don't know how much more blood would have been shed and how many more people would have died in Jizhong.
People. At this time, Chief Liu Luo, who had shown great power in Jizhong and southern Hebei, led the main force to fight back. The people of Jizhong immediately gained strength and energy, and were no longer afraid of the Japanese and puppet troops' counterattack. From the tunnels
Inside, he got out of the traffic trench, buried the remains of his relatives, and directly took the money and chased the little Japanese in the direction of retreat.
In this way, before the Higashiye Second Corps had yet to engage the enemy, the Jizhong troops were ping-ping-pong with the Japanese 58th Division, 59th Division, and 39th Division rearguard units that were retreating to Deshi Road.
The pong is done.
The most alarming thing is that the commander of the southern Hebei Military Region, Chen Zaidao, and the political commissar Song Renqiong commanded our army in southern Hebei, crossed the Fuyang River, and suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Xingtai, threatening Xingtai. The posture was clearly to cut off the Pinghan Road.
Cut off the southward escape route of the enemies at Shimen.
It didn't matter that Chen Zaidao was fighting in Xingtai. The follow-up troops of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Field Army commanded by Liu Deng surged up from the Luxi area and joined forces with the southern Hebei army to attack Xingtai. They sent an infantry brigade of the Japanese Shimen garrison to Xingtai and an infantry brigade of the North China Security Army.
The entire regiment was wiped out in Xingtai City.
Almost at the same time, Chen Guangbu of the Shandong Field Army who insisted on the base area in Western Shandong launched another counterattack against the Japanese and puppet troops in Western Shandong and uprooted the Japanese and puppet strongholds. The enemy workers of each unit held up tin trumpets and shouted to the Japanese and puppet strongholds, reading Liu Yimin's
The commander's "Letter to Urge Okamura Neiji to Surrender" launched a powerful political offensive against the Japanese and puppet troops at the same time as the military counterattack.
Okamura Neiji did not see the pursuit of our army in Jizhong and southern Hebei. He knew that if Liu Yimin's main force of Dongye hadn't roared towards him, it would have been him to fight back and eliminate the main force of our army in Jizhong and southern Hebei.
The best time. The problem is that he doesn't have the time and energy. What he wants is for the whole army to retreat safely to Shandong, rather than fighting with the Jizhong and Jinnan troops, wasting time and providing Liu Yimin with fighter planes. Therefore, Okamura Neji
The three divisions that were strictly ordered to withdraw to Deshi Road sent some troops to repel the pursuit of the Jizhong troops, and ordered the Shimen garrison to defend southward to block the Jinnan troops. Then they waited quietly for the arrival of the main force of the First Army.
The mission of the Third Corps led by Li Qing was to capture Dezhou, cut off the Deshi Road, and block Okamura Neji's retreat to Shandong.
After moving south from Tianjin, the Third Corps marched southward along the canal, Jinpu Road, and highways.
Because there is a canal, it is possible to transport the Eighth Army's motor boats, patrol boats, and motorboats to carry the wooden boats at the Tianjin dock. Li Qing once again reenacted the grand scene of the Long March from Yichang to Leshan, speeding up the pursuit.
After liberating Tianjin, part of the gasoline from the North China Front was seized. The Second Armored Brigade of the Third Corps, the three car regiments of the three armies, and the cars captured during the mobilization in Tianjin no longer need to use the gasoline shipped from the Northeast. They can fill up the tank and carry the goods.
Hold the oil barrels and transport the troops to pursue them with all their strength.
The 2nd Armored Brigade acted as the vanguard of the 3rd Corps, and the Japanese army was not equipped with anti-tank mines. The tank group moved south from Tianjin, all the way unimpeded. I originally thought that the Japanese and puppet troops would blow up the railway and highway bridges when they arrived at the Fuyang River, but the bridges were intact.
.Only the highway bridge and the railway bridge were covered with the corpses of the Japanese and puppet soldiers and the remains of our soldiers. After finding a few seriously injured people and questioning them, they found out that the Independent Regiment from the Hebei-Shandong border rushed here to protect the bridge, and the troops were already chasing the Japanese.
The puppet troops moved south.
The original 1st Jilu Border Independent Regiment has long been incorporated into the regular army. The current 1st Jilu Border Independent Regiment is a force rebuilt in the Hebei-Shandong Border Region after Liu Yimin led the main force to the north.
After catching up, Li Qing immediately ordered the troops to speed up, catch up with the Japanese army, annihilate the Japanese army, and avenge the martyrs.
That night, the special operations formation on standby in Peiping was ordered to take off urgently, carry out airdrop operations to Dezhou, occupy Dezhou City, and cooperate with the Third Corps to completely block the door for the Japanese army to escape eastward.
In large force operations, the most important thing is logistical support. This is the fundamental reason why Liu Yimin established the Logistics Headquarters, Engineer Headquarters, and Railway Corps Headquarters in the army. This is an improvement in tactical concepts. Because of the establishment of the Railway Corps Headquarters
, the Luanhe Highway Bridge and the railway bridge that were bombed by the Japanese army went through two days of emergency repairs. The railway soldiers used Anshan Iron and Steel's steel to connect the bridges that were bombed by the Japanese army. One-way traffic has been restored tonight and it is estimated that it will take a few more days.
, it can be fully restored to traffic. Of course, this is because the kid's main purpose of blowing up the bridge is to blow up the bridge, and the bridge piers are safe and sound. Blowing up the bridge piers is a very complicated technical job, and the kid couldn't find the bridge construction engineer in a hurry, so he couldn't blow it up.
Bridge piers. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to repair and open to traffic so quickly.
Transport planes took off from several airports in Peiping and flew southward in the night.
