    At the same time as the Battle of Xuanhua started, the battle of Mashikou also entered its most critical moment.

    Under Zhang Tengjiao¡¯s order, the main force of the unit rushed into the ambush circle from the gentle part of the valley, divided and surrounded the remaining thousands of Japanese soldiers, and carried out the final battle of annihilation.

    This ambush battle has been going on for almost six hours now. The main force of the 35th Division has been wiped out, but the centipede has not died. There are still more than 4,000 people still stubbornly resisting.

    Harada Xiongyoshi's heart was completely cold at this time. Reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, and he lost contact with Zhangjiakou and Peiping.

    And the breakout has repeatedly failed, and now they are really desperate.

    A team of aviation troops arrived half an hour ago, but because the distance between China and Japan was too close, it was difficult for the aviation troops to ensure that they would not hurt their own people, so they had no choice but to evacuate.

    The battle lasted until nine o'clock in the morning, just when Yoshida Minetaro was about to arrive at Masikou with more than 4,000 Japanese reinforcements, the ambush battle here also came to an end. Most of the Japanese soldiers who were divided and surrounded were annihilated one by one, leaving only  There are still hundreds of people left around Harada Kumakichi.

    The huge 35th Division was basically wiped out at this time. The remaining ones were because of the existence of Lieutenant General Harada Xiongyoshi, the division commander, so Zhang Tengjiao wanted to capture them alive, so he deliberately showed mercy.

    When he learned that the Japanese reinforcements were about to arrive, Zhang Tengjiao immediately issued a general offensive order to the frontline troops. If the Japanese troops did not surrender, they would be resolutely annihilated.

    Harada Xiongyoshi is a proud man. Even at this point, he still has not thought about surrendering. The final result will naturally be that all Zhang Tengjiao's troops will be annihilated.

    After annihilating the 35th Division, the main force of the 117th Division ignored the fatigue and immediately faced the invading Yoshida Minetaro's troops.

    It is said that Yoshida Minetaro and others were only a few kilometers away from the Masikou ambush battlefield at this time, but when he heard the sound of gunfire in the direction of Masikou gradually subsided, he immediately knew that the 35th Division  It's over.

    At the moment, Yoshida Minetaro reported the situation on the front line to Zhangjiakou and Peiping, requesting his troops to retreat immediately to prevent being surrounded and annihilated by the army.

    In fact, Okamura Neiji had already received some bad news from the aviation force, and knew that what Yoshida Minetaro said was true. After a slight hesitation, he finally ordered Yoshida's troops to retreat immediately.

    At the same time, realizing that Zhangjiakou had become an isolated city, Okamura Neiji personally sent a telegram to the commander of the Mongolian Army, Ganpa Jutaro, ordering them to prepare to evacuate Zhangjiakou immediately.

    Once Xuanhua is captured by Li Guoyao's troops, the Japanese army in Zhangjiakou City will become a turtle in the urn and must be prepared for a rainy day.

    Under the order of Okamura Neiji, Yoshida Minetaro's troops took turns covering and retreated to Huai'an.

    Zhang Tengjiao's troops were not idle either, leaving some troops to clean the battlefield, while the remaining 15,000-strong main force continued to advance towards Huai'an and Wanquan.

    This time, Zhang Tengjiao issued a death order to the frontline troops, and they must conquer Zhangjiakou in one go.

    As for the Xuanhua battlefield, after more than an hour of fierce attack, the puppet troops in Xuanhua city could not bear the huge casualties and collapsed. The armed expatriates and dozens of regular troops standing close could not withstand the attack of the independent brigade.

    At 8:30 in the morning, the Independent Brigade captured Xuanhua!

    After occupying Xuanhua, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the independent brigade to seize the large and small fortifications in the city and prepare to face the Japanese 47th Division.

    At this time, after two hours of bloody battle, the First Regiment of the Independent Brigade finally annihilated the Kono Brigade before nine o'clock in the morning. After cleaning the battlefield, the troops marched north to Zhangjiakou in accordance with Li Guoyao's order.

    At eleven o'clock sharp, Zhang Tengjiao's troops captured Huai'an without resistance, and then attacked Wanquan.

    Under Wanquan City, the troops were delayed for two hours. When they entered the city, they discovered that there were only two squadrons of Japanese soldiers here. Yoshida Minetaro's main force had already withdrawn three hours ago.

    After capturing Wanquan, the 177th Division continued to advance towards Zhangjiakou and arrived at the outskirts of Zhangjiakou at 1 p.m.

    Two lines of national troops surrounded Zhangjiakou, but the Japanese troops in Zhangjiakou City were ready to break out.

    At two o'clock in the afternoon, after confirming that Xuanhua City had been lost and that the 47th Division's assault on Xuanhua had failed, Okamura Neji issued a breakout order to the Japanese troops in Zhangjiakou City.

    In order to cover the breakout of Kampa Jutaro and others, Okamura Neji assembled more than 200 fighter planes from Peiping, Tianjin, Tangshan, Baoding and other places for coordinated operations.

    After the breakout battle began, more than 200 fighter planes appeared outside Zhangjiakou, launched crazy bombing and low-altitude dive strafing against the 177th Division in the west of the city and the Independent Brigade Regiment in the south of the city.

    At the same time, more than 4,000 Japanese troops in the city led an almost equal number of young and strong overseas Chinese from the east of the city and fled towards Chongli.

    Realizing that the Japanese army was about to flee, Zhang Tengjiao immediately ordered the cavalry troops of the third brigade to pursue them immediately. However, they were frantically intercepted by the Japanese air force. The troops suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to give up the pursuit.

    At 2:30, after encountering simple resistance from the Japanese rear troops, the 177th Division captured Zhangjiakou City.

    At 4:30 in the afternoon, after launching six consecutive attacks on Xuanhua City, all of which failed, Okamura Neiji knew that it would be impossible to regain Xuanhua in a short time, and immediately ordered the 47th Division to withdraw its troops immediately, and the main force was stationed in Xiahuayuan.  Fortifications were built there.

    Since the fall of Xuanhua exposed Peiping to the guns of the national army, Okamura Neiji had to temporarily suspend the counterattack against Sucha and actively mobilized troops in the direction of Peiping.

    And as the Japanese troops withdrew their troops, the ones who broke through the siege broke out, and those who were encircled and annihilated were encircled and annihilated. This battle in Saibei initiated by the Jiujiu Army finally ended with the victory of the Chinese side.

    In this battle, the Ninth Army dispatched the main force of the 177th Division and the Independent Brigade, totaling 45,000 people, to launch a full-scale attack on the remnants of the Mongolian Army garrison on the front line of Zhangjiakou in Chanan, with the purpose of capturing Zhangjiakou, the important town in Chanan.

    This battle took nearly twenty days from preparation to completion, but the actual combat only lasted five days.

    In a very short period of time, the Jiujiu Army successively annihilated Harada Kuma Yoshiyuki's 35th Division and Kono Shotaro's Independent 5th Defense Brigade, and severely damaged Yoshida Minetaro's Independent 8th Mixed Brigade and the 3rd and 4th Independent Brigade.  , also withstood the counterattack of the Japanese 47th Division and occupied Zhangjiakou and the important town of Xuanhua.

    So far, the last Japanese stronghold in Chahar has been removed!

    Two days later, the results and casualties of this battle were also calculated. In this battle, the Ninth Army occupied one provincial capital and three county towns, annihilated 17,442 Japanese and puppet troops, captured 2,588 people, and destroyed 127 Japanese tanks.  It was found on the battlefield that 47 of them could still be repaired and used.

    In this battle, the troops also shot down 25 Japanese fighter planes and damaged 34!

    As for the weapons and equipment seized, there are even more. Firearms, ammunition, food and cloth are all being counted, and there is no accurate data yet.

    The results were brilliant, but the losses were also heavy.

    ?According to the statistics of casualties from each unit, the Ninth Army suffered a total of 8,456 casualties and 7,214 injuries in this battle, with nearly 16,000 casualties.

    Among them, the heaviest casualties were undoubtedly the 1st Brigade of the 177th Division. Of the 9,600 troops in the brigade, only a little over 2,000 were withdrawn after the war.

    The Second and Third Brigades also suffered heavy losses, especially in the final battle of annihilation. In a bayonet fight, the national army suffered more than 5,000 casualties.

    In addition, the Independent Brigade was also frantically blocked by the Kono Brigade in Taishiwan Village. Although they annihilated the Kono Brigade with their superior strength, they also caused more than a thousand casualties.

    Although there were heavy casualties, compared to the results, Li Guoyao felt that everything was worth it.

    The capture of Zhangjiakou and Xuanhua brought about a huge change in the situation between the enemy and ourselves. As long as the Ninth Army stationed a heavy force in Zhangjiakou, the North China Front Army must station a strong force in the Pingjin area and in the east of Hebei. Otherwise, the national army would not know  When will the troops arrive at the city?
