    With the issuance of combat orders, various units of the 35th Army moved at night and day, and basically reached the scheduled attack position before June 7.

    Among them, the 101st Division has arrived near Chenwang Getan, 40 miles northwest of Wuyuan, the New 31st Division and the New 32nd Division have arrived in the Shibagetu area of ????Xiyungui, Wuyuan, and the 7th Cavalry Division has pushed to Naimazhao.

    Because the action was secretive and rapid, the Japanese army was not aware of it, creating favorable conditions for a sudden attack on Wuyuan.

    During the day on the 7th, the troops ceased their activities and all entered a state of rest. As soon as the sun set and the Japanese reconnaissance planes returned to their nests, a large number of national troops showed their heads and began to move secretly towards Wuyuan County.

    At 12 o'clock in the evening, the counterattack began.

    Before this war, the enemy¡¯s commander-in-chief was Sun Lanfeng, commander of the new 31st Division, and Xu Zizhen, commander of the Fifth Guard Brigade, was the deputy commander-in-chief.

    After the battle started, An Chunshan, commander of the 93rd Regiment, led a commando team of 800 people to cross the obstacles and break into the city from the southeast of Wuyuan City.

    At the same time, in the absence of the 93rd Regiment, the New 31st Division, with the cooperation of the Wulin Garrison Brigade Mountain Artillery Battalion, simultaneously attacked Chengguan from the west of Wuyuan and attacked the enemy west of Yihe Canal in Yangcheng.

    The New 32nd Division fiercely attacked the enemy in Guangsheng West of Wuyuan Old City and the front and back of the Red Army. The 203rd Brigade of the Reclamation Army fought hard to attack the south gate and captured the enemy strongholds on South Street such as the Reclamation Cooperative.

    While the battle in Wuyuan began, Fu Yisheng personally led the main force of the 35th Army, a force of 5,000 people, to set up an ambush on the road from Linhe to Wuyuan, waiting for reinforcements from the Japanese army in Linhe.

    The battle entered a fierce stage at the beginning. As soon as the commando siege began, the Chinese army lost 2 battalion commanders and 7 company commanders. However, with the cooperation of the troops inside the city, they also broke through Wuyuan City and annihilated the stubborn enemy.  Nearly 500 soldiers eliminated the enemies at South Gate and South Street.

    The commando team used surprise attack tactics. After breaking into the city, they attacked targets in depth. The Japanese and puppet troops woke up from their sleep and panicked!

    Some were simply shot to death in their sleep without any resistance at all.

    At one o'clock in the morning, various units of the national army have occupied important strongholds such as the Implementation Primary School, the Reclamation Cooperative, the Fur Shop, the Japanese Army Headquarters, the Catholic Church, and the Jesus Church. The enemy's grain and ammunition depot was also occupied by our army.

    The remaining enemies in the city had not been wiped out, so they all gathered in two strongholds, the Reclamation Office and the Pingshi Guanqian Bureau, to resist and await reinforcements.

    However, at this time, the Japanese troops in Linhe and Baotou also received a telegram from the Japanese troops in Wuyuan City asking for help. Lieutenant General Kojima Yoshizang, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in Baotou, immediately ordered the Japanese and puppet troops in Linhe to immediately reinforce Wuyuan.

    At the same time, in view of the limited garrison of Linhe City and the fact that it was too close to the core control area of ??the national army, it was decided to abandon Linhe City.

    At two o'clock in the morning, the Japanese troops in Linhe took away all the supplies they could carry and burned what they could not take away. Then the main force rushed to Wuyuan City with the cooperation of hundreds of carriages.

    However, as soon as the troops reached Liu Zhao, they were ambushed by the Nationalist army. Facing the main attack of more than 6,000 Nationalist troops for more than a thousand days, the puppet army was caught off guard.

    After more than an hour of bloody fighting, more than 500 Japanese troops were surrounded and annihilated. The rest successfully broke through with the help of war horses, but more than 100 carts of supplies became the trophies of the 35th Army.

    At the same time, after a night of fierce fighting in Wuyuan City, both the enemy and ourselves suffered heavy casualties, but the defenders in the city were finally annihilated before dawn.

    The heart-breaking battle by the Chinese army to invade the city disrupted the overall deployment of the Japanese army, especially when the command system was destroyed. All departments inside and outside the Japanese army became panicked due to the loss of contact, and were defeated one by one.

    By the morning of June 8, most of Wuyuan City and its peripheral strongholds had been captured. The 302nd Regiment defeated the enemy regiment guarding the bridge of the second rich man Gedan on the Wuga River, captured many people, and then destroyed the bridge.

    The New 6th Brigade also defeated the enemy defenders at Wulahao and Wanhechang bridges before dawn on the 8th, destroyed the bridges, and effectively blocked enemy reinforcements.

    By the morning of the 8th, there were still enemies in the old city of Wuyuan, as well as those in front and rear, and in Guangshengxi who were still resisting.

    Li Zuodong's troops, who attacked Hao Jinqiao and Man Kesu from Nanmao'an, defeated the defending enemy Wang Ying's troops and followed them.

    The Seventh Cavalry Division attacked Xingongzhong from Naimazhao. The Suixi garrison resisted tenaciously, but due to frustration they had to return to the division to rescue Wuyuan.

    At this time, the enemies inside and outside Wuyuan were all under attack from the front and back. Most of them were defeated and many were wiped out. The remaining troops except the Reclamation Office in Wuyuan City, the Heping City Official Money Bureau, the Old City, the front and back Jihong, Guangshengxi, and  The enemies in Black Tou Ge and Xingong are still standing in line to take a breath and await reinforcements.

    On the morning of the 8th, the enemy and puppet positions on all lines were defeated!

    At ten o'clock in the morning, 12 Japanese planes stationed in Baotou came to Wuyuan and circled at low altitude for reconnaissance. However, because the Chinese army did not have time to pull down the sun flag when they captured the Japanese strongholds that night, the enemy planes did not dare to drop bombs and sent reinforcements instead.  The Japanese garrison in the center was injured.Disperse.

    By 10 o'clock in the evening on the 8th, the Japanese troops in Wuyuan Old City were completely wiped out, and some troops outside the city broke through. This was the end of the Linwu Campaign.

    This battle lasted for more than 20 hours. The Eighth Theater Command dispatched three infantry divisions, two brigades, and a cavalry division, totaling more than 38,000 people, and almost uprooted the Japanese and puppet forces in the Hetao Plain.

    More importantly, after this battle, the Eighth War Zone basically confirmed the accuracy of the intelligence sent by Li Guoyao's troops. The main force of the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area was indeed severely damaged.

    Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Japanese troops in Baotou to remain silent during such a huge battle.

    After all, the relationship between Wuyuan and Baotou is closely related. If Wuyuan is recaptured by the national army, Baotou will be the next target of attack. It is impossible for the little devil not to know this truth.

    But now they have no reinforcements, which shows that there are not many Japanese troops in Baotou City.

    At the moment, after conquering Wuyuan, Commander-in-Chief Fu immediately ordered his elite troops to leave a small number of troops to maintain public order in Wuyuan, Linhe and other places. The main force immediately marched eastward to attack Baotou.

    News of the national army¡¯s attack on Wuyuan and Linhe soon reached the headquarters of the Mongolian Army. After learning about the actual strength of troops in Baotou and other places, Ganpa Jutaro felt bad.

    There are only more than 5,000 defenders in the Hetao area, and the defenders in Baotou are not much better, with only more than 5,000 people. Counting the more than 1,000 people who were withdrawn from Wuyuan and other places, the total number is only 6,000.

    And these troops are still scattered in Dalat, Guyang, Jiuyuan, Saraqi, Damao Banner and other places, which are quite scattered.

    Once Fu Yisheng¡¯s main force besieged Baotou, the consequences would be disastrous.

    Thinking back to last year, the Fu army concentrated its main force to break into Baotou City, causing huge losses to the defenders. At that moment, Ganpa Jutaro decided to immediately reinforce Baotou.

    However, since the Pingsui Railway has been blocked by Li Guoyao's troops, it is almost impossible for the troops on the ground to reinforce Baotou in a short time. Then Ganpa Jutaro asked for help from the North China Front Army Headquarters, hoping to mobilize airborne troops to reinforce Baotou.

    After receiving the telegram requesting help from the Mongolian Army Headquarters, Okamura Neji fell silent!

    He already knew the situation in Suixi and understood that if he did not provide strong support to the imperial army in Baotou, the consequences would be disastrous.

    Once the troops capture Baotou, they will push eastward again. By then, not only the Imperial Japanese Army may be driven out of Suiyuan, but even the remaining troops in the Suiyuan area may be wiped out.  The empire's many years of management of the Mongolian and Xinjiang regions will be destroyed in one day.

    However, Okamura Neiji had many concerns about sending paratroopers to reinforce the Baotou garrison. It was not that he was reluctant to part with the paratroopers in his hands, but that he really had no idea about this unit!

    PS: Chapter 4 has been delivered, please vote for me. The little devil¡¯s paratroopers will appear in the next chapter, so look forward to it!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
