Li Guoyao is not worried about this, because in his opinion, it is not enough to deal with the Kwantung Army with only a small number of troops. Sooner or later, all the troops in the Suicha area will have to rush to the northeast.
Since the troops have been withdrawn, there is no such thing as a two-front battle.
Of course, Li Guoyao will not say these words for the time being!
It was easy for the troops to find a suitable base area, and everyone was working enthusiastically. You suddenly said that you wanted to evacuate. Isn't this shaking the morale of the troops?
¡°Besides, even if we want to retreat to the Northeast, we must first establish a foothold in the Northeast.
The key now is whether we can capture Chabei Grassland. For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on this prairie.
On January 25th, the Prince De¡¯s Mansion in Xilinhot was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was quite festive. There was also an endless stream of people coming in and out, which shows that today is definitely not an ordinary day.
¡°This is indeed the case. Anyone who is a wealthy businessman or a wealthy family in the city knows that today is King De¡¯s birthday.
Respectable people in Xilinhot City and even the entire Chabei area received invitations from Prince De's Palace. In fact, everyone who received the invitations understood that it was not that Prince De's Palace valued them so much that they were invited to attend their birthdays. The party was entirely for birthday gifts.
King De himself is from the Sunit tribe, and everyone knows what kind of person he is.
This prince holds such a birthday party every year. The time is uncertain every year. Sometimes it is earlier, sometimes it is later, but no matter whether it is sooner or later, the person who receives the invitation must come.
Of course, you don¡¯t have to come, but you must come for the birthday gift. This is the rule!
Unlike the Han people who like to hold banquets at noon, the Mongolian people like to hold banquets in the afternoon or evening, so today¡¯s banquet was arranged in the afternoon.
However, while the banquet was in progress, a guard rushed into the banquet hall and whispered a few words in King De's ear.
Immediately afterwards, King De's expression changed drastically, and he hurried away without even saying anything about the scene, leaving only a large group of guests in the banquet hall who didn't know where to go.
The garrison headquarters and combat command room next to Prince De's Mansion.
At this time, the command room was also in chaos. The reason was that just ten minutes ago they suddenly received emergency telegrams from many places, saying that they were attacked by the Chinese army.
As soon as King Toku came in, he hurriedly asked the Japanese garrison commander, Colonel Muto: "Muto-kun, how is the situation now? How many enemies are invading?"
"According to the intelligence sent back by Sunit Right Banner, the invading army is no less than one division with a strength of at least 10,000 people. In addition, follow-up troops are continuously gathering near the depths of the grassland. In addition, our The reconnaissance force also discovered a large number of Z/N troops in Shangdu, Huade and Taipusi Banner." Muto said loudly.
"So, the total strength of that group should be more than tens of thousands?" King De said with a sudden tremor in his heart.
"Youxi, there should be no less than 30,000 people!"
"Then what should we do? The other side is trying to plot Chabei. It is difficult to defend the Chabei area with the few troops we have!"
Li Shouxin on the side also said with an ugly face: "The ones who invaded Chabei this time are all the main forces of Li Guoyao's army. They are not easy to deal with!"
"Hmph, those troops underestimated our Imperial Japanese Army. Although our troops are not large, they are all elites in many battles. How can we be afraid of their attack? Now that these stupid troops are coming to our door. Now, how can we let them go back? Li Sang, are you interested in wiping out this/that army?" Colonel Muto asked loudly.
"Although there are some difficulties, I am willing to create this miracle with Mr. Muto!" Li Shouxin said loudly.
Although he was deeply unwilling, at this time he could only say this in the end!
"well!"
Then Colonel Muto said: "The enemy troops are divided into two groups and are constantly gathering troops in the Chabei area. This means that the main goal of this group is to seize the Chabei grassland, and the core of their attack is Xilinhot. However, our army is too scattered right now. It is easy to be defeated by the opponent one by one, so what I mean is to concentrate all the troops in Xilinhot City and wait for the main showdown with the support/that person, what do you think?"
"Hai, what Mr. Muto said makes sense. Although Xilinhot is not a fortified city, it does have a city wall. If the supporter does not have enough siege weapons, it will be difficult for him to garrison a city heavily guarded by our army.The degree is not small. "Li Shouxin said.
King De also said: "First use the towns to consume the opponent's superior strength. When the opponent is almost exhausted, our troops will then attack. We will have a chance to defeat or even completely annihilate the opponent."
"Yo Xi, let's do this. Order: Sunit Left Banner, Right Banner and the troops from the southern counties and districts immediately go north and assemble towards Xilinhot."
"Hai!"
"Order: Immediately report the situation to the legion headquarters, request the aviation force to go into battle, conduct a reconnaissance on the outskirts of Xilinhot tomorrow morning, and immediately intercept and bomb his troops after discovering the person/person!"
"Hai!"
Following the order of Colonel Muto, the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line withdrew their troops overnight, very quickly.
When the cavalry group arrived in various counties and districts, they encountered a little resistance at first, but soon they found that the Japs withdrew within a few minutes of fighting.
This retreat was like having diarrhea and could not be stopped at all. The Japanese and puppet troops in both directions were running northward, completely lifeless.
The Japanese and puppet troops ran in front, but the national army took over the territory behind. Soon they occupied five or six county towns, and the front line was not very far from Xilinhot.
Although Lu Dashan and others seemed to see through the little devil's intentions, they did not care.
Although Xilinhot is said to be a famous big city in the Chabei Grassland, it is only limited to the Chabei Grassland. Put in other places, it is just a small county town.
Although there are city walls there, they are all made of rammed earth, less than three meters high and less than two meters wide. They collapsed after a few cannons. They are not considered to be strong fortresses at all.
If the Japanese army planned to use the city wall of Xilinhot to consume them, they might have made a mistake.
However, what Lu Dashan and others did not expect was that the first person to confront them was not the infantry of the Japanese and puppet troops, but their air force.
After receiving the telegram from Colonel Muto and others, Ganpa Jutaro was worried all night.
No one knows the strength of the northern garrison better than him. Let¡¯s talk about the Japanese army first. They are just a few garrison brigades, with less than 5,000 people in total, and they are scattered in more than a dozen banner counties. It is not easy to use it intensively.
"As for those puppet troops, they are even more useless.
After the two battles in Suixi and Suizhong, the main forces of Li Shouxin and Wang Ying were basically wiped out. Now the puppet Mongolian army only has three Mongolian divisions in the hands of King De.
Let¡¯s not talk about the strength of those divisions for now. Most of those people only understand Mongolian and only listen to King Toku¡¯s command. This makes Ganpa Jutaro a little uncomfortable.
And their combat effectiveness is indeed worrying. Except for one of the divisions which is pretty good, the rest are new troops that King De recently summoned some tribesmen to form. Their combat effectiveness is very poor.
Such a unit may not be able to suppress bandits, not to mention fighting to death with Li Guoyao's elite troops.
Fortunately, the Chabei battlefield is not far from Zhangjiakou and Peiping, and fighter planes here can reinforce them at any time.
After finally waiting until dawn, Ganpa Jutaro immediately ordered all the aviation units in his hands to take off immediately and rushed to the Chabei grassland to reinforce Sato's troops in the battle. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
