Following Li Guoyao's order, the national troops on the front line voluntarily evacuated the battlefield. Yamada Tetsujiro and others, who were already in despair, were overjoyed and hurriedly evacuated out of the mountain without caring about their manners.
Knowing that Yamada¡¯s subordinates had a lucky escape, Odaka Kamezo and others also breathed a sigh of relief!
If Yamada is killed in battle, the independent mixed brigade that was hit hard twice is likely to have its designation revoked. Not to mention his small regiment commander, even His Excellency Sugiyama Moto in Beiping City cannot afford such a result. .
Fortunately, the people have finally been rescued. The only drawback is that the troops suffered a larger loss. This is nothing. As long as Yamada recovers from his injuries and then mobilizes some supplementary troops for them, the Yamada brigade will soon regain its combat effectiveness. .
Because the frontline troops suffered heavy losses this time and the rear was extremely unstable, Odaka Kamezo immediately ordered the Zaozhuang frontline troops to immediately shrink their troops. Kimura Hyoutaro's so-called "Thunder" operation completely failed.
Following the order of the 12th Corps Headquarters, the main force of the 32nd Division returned to Zaozhuang City on the afternoon of June 15. At 4:30 pm on the same day, Shinozuka Kunigoro's troops also abandoned their position and retreated towards Shanting.
When learning about the movements of the Japanese army, Zhang Tengjiao's command post immediately launched a pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops. Shinozuka Kunigoro retreated to the Shanting area after suffering heavy casualties.
Then all the Japanese troops in the northeast also evacuated the Xiong'er Mountain base area. At this point, the Shandong Guerrilla Corps' anti-mopping up campaign came to an end.
Although the battle is over, the aftermath of this battle has just begun to spread!
The concentration of so many troops by the Japanese army to besiege the Xiong'er Mountain area this time has attracted great attention from all parties. The highest authorities in Chongqing and the Sulu War Zone Chief's Department have successively called to inquire about the situation.
" Of course Li Guoyao told the truth truthfully. The enemy's situation is like this, there is nothing to hide!
Originally, everyone was not optimistic about this operation of Li Guoyao's command. People including Yu Xuezhong and others called and suggested that Li Guoyao's command find weak points in the Japanese encirclement and then move out.
But he was rejected by Li Guoyao. Transferring was certainly an option. After all, it was impossible for the little devil to stay in the mountainous area for a long time. At worst, he would have to wait until the little devil left before coming back.
However, Li Guoyao knew very well that with the beastly character of a little devil who would kill everyone on sight, once he could not find the main force of the national army, he would definitely vent his anger on the ordinary people.
This is one thing. Secondly, when fighting the Japanese army, you must understand one thing, that is, resisting Japan is not a matter of one or two days, but a long-term effort. If you want to weaken the little devil as much as possible, you must constantly attack its effective strength.
Now that the little devils are rushing into Xiong'er Mountain, for Li Guoyao, it is the best opportunity to deal with the Japanese army.
Because of this, Li Guoyao did not retreat, but bravely faced the strong Japanese army with inferior forces.
But no one expected that in such a battle with such a huge disparity in strength, the Shandong Guerrilla Corps was not wiped out by the Japanese army. Instead, it was beaten by the defenders and suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, when the news that the Japanese army suddenly took the initiative to withdraw troops from Xiong'er Mountain spread, it quickly attracted the attention of many people. For a while, congratulatory messages flew like snowflakes to the Shandong Guerrilla Corps.
Li Guoyao didn¡¯t pay attention to these departments that were beyond his control at all. He just asked Chief of Staff Ma Desheng to give a simple reply as a courtesy. He himself had not even read the contents of those congratulatory messages.
On the afternoon of June 16, the troops of the Shandong Guerrilla General returned successfully to the Xiong'er Mountain headquarters!
Early the next morning, Li Guoyao held a combat summary meeting at the Xiong'er Mountain headquarters, and the captains of each brigade must attend.
Because they had won the war, the expressions on everyone's faces were very excited, so that the atmosphere in the conference room was very active. Before Li Guoyao showed up, the middle and senior officers were chatting enthusiastically.
Is it true that everyone is happy after winning a victory, not to mention that most of the Military and Political Officers of the Shandong Guide Corps are young cadres who have promoted from the front line, and the average age is very small.
These young officers are not as dull as the old officers. These people are active and passionate in thinking. They are brave and resourceful in fighting and dare to fight. They are not good at it below, and they fight fiercely with their soldiers. This time we won the battle without causing a huge stir.
At eight o'clock sharp, Li Guoyao walked in from outside, accompanied by Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai and Ma Desheng!
"The commander is here!"
With the guard¡¯s announcement, the officers who were chatting and laughing freely in the conference room suddenly sat upright, and the smiles on their faces disappeared instantly, as if they were beingIt's like a immobilizing spell has been cast.
There is no way, the commander's prestige is getting deeper and deeper. Everyone in front of him unconsciously treats him as a big boss at the level of Chief Chen and Chief He. If you dare to talk nonsense in front of him, isn't that asking for scolding!
Li Guoyao and others strode into the conference room and sat down at the main table.
As soon as they sat down, all the officers stood up to show respect!
Although the rules of the national army are not as strict as those of the little devils, it is a regular army after all, and they still try to treat their officers like the little devils. At least they did a good job on this scene.
Li Guoyao nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and said: "Brothers, after a week of hard fighting, we repelled the Japanese army's heavy encirclement and suppression, and while defending the base area, we also achieved significant results. We have reason to pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives." Our comrades also give us a round of applause."
After speaking, Li Guoyao took the lead in clapping his hands.
All the senior officers in the conference room also clapped, and for a while, the small conference room burst into applause.
The applause paused, and then Li Guoyao said: "Now let the chief of staff give you a summary of this battle."
Ma Desheng was not pretentious. After hearing Li Guoyao's roll call, he stood up immediately!
Clearing his throat, Ma Desheng said loudly: "Let me tell you the story and the results first. This is what everyone likes to hear!"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. As we all know, everyone is more willing to hear about the results than the losses. After all, losses mean casualties, and the results are linked to promotions. Which one is more obvious at a glance.
"Getting back to the subject, in this battle, the 12th Army of the North China Front of the Japanese Army dispatched an infantry division, a mixed brigade, plus a number of independent troops and puppet troops, with a total strength of more than 24,000 people. They were also equipped with aircraft, heavy artillery and A large number of tanks launched a full-scale attack on the Xiong'er Mountain base of our Shandong Guerrilla Corps. The enemy was coming fiercely, the flames were rolling, and the military situation was on fire! Between fighting and fleeing, we upheld the responsibility and integrity of soldiers, and finally chose to fight bravely. Keep the common people behind!"
"In order to repel the enemy's attack, our department gathered 6 infantry brigades, a cavalry brigade, an artillery brigade, an engineering brigade, a fire support brigade, all special forces and some logistics troops to participate in the battle, with a total strength of about 16,000 people, and at the same time mobilized more than 54,000 ordinary people to participate in strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness to jointly stop the Japanese invaders."
Then Ma Desheng continued: "In this campaign, we used special operations such as blocking the Japanese army, beheading operations, disguised infiltration, etc., and fought 76 times with the Japanese army in less than a week. We successively attacked Lanling County and the Shanting Wangjiashan Japanese Prisoner of War Camp." Waiting for key points, three of the four Japanese routes were severely damaged, among which the Japanese troops in the southeast were formed into an independent sixth brigade and were almost wiped out."
"In addition, we also severely damaged the Japanese 32nd Division in this battle. The cavalry regiment, artillery regiment and tank brigade under the division were completely wiped out. The 213th Infantry Regiment was basically wiped out. The battlefield remains The number of corpses reached more than 4,000, and the casualties are estimated to be more than 7,000. The army also suffered heavy losses, with two puppet infantry brigades and a cavalry regiment being maimed!"
"The casualties of the Japanese army in this battle are estimated to be around 13,000, of which more than 8,000 were killed. In addition, the Japanese army also lost a large amount of heavy equipment. Among them, more than 100 tanks and cars were destroyed by our army alone. One hundred and twenty vehicles, 40 large-caliber field artillery pieces, and two fighter planes were shot down. Our army seized 3,543 Type 38 rifles, 2,574 medium-sized rifles, 145 light and heavy machine guns, mortars and 33 cartridges (tools), 8 mountain cannons, 670,000 rounds of various bullets, more than 3,000 artillery shells, 766 war horses, and some food and property."
"In addition, our army also rescued about 4,000 Chinese troops and Eighth Route Army prisoners of war from the Wangjiashan prisoner-of-war camp during this battle. After our department's active efforts, most of these people are now willing to join our army. Now they have all arrived in the Xiong'er Mountain area. In a few days They will be uniformly trained. This is the result achieved by our unit in this battle. It not only severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders, but also protected the newly established base area. In terms of record, it was a great victory. .¡±
