    Yushu. Northeastern Advance Army Headquarters.

    In the temporary headquarters, Li Guoyao felt a little uneasy. Today is the most critical time to lure the enemy deeper. Success or failure depends on this.

    And this is also the largest battle against the Japanese and puppet troops since the establishment of this unit. Even if the subsequent participating troops are not counted, there are 50,000 or 60,000 Japanese and puppet troops in front of them.

    The most important thing is that among the 50,000 to 60,000 Japanese puppet troops, there are two Class A divisions in the top 20. It can be said that these troops are the essence of the front line back home in Rehe.

    Once these enemy forces are completely wiped out, the Japanese defense system on the front line of Jehol will collapse in an instant.

    For such a large-scale and significant battle, Li Guoyao was somewhat uneasy because he was not commanding from the front.

    What¡¯s more, this is also related to the Soviet Union¡¯s assistance in the future. It is really a matter of victory but no defeat.

    Therefore, starting from the afternoon, Li Guoyao became a little restless and a little irritable.

    At six o'clock, just when Li Guoyao was hesitating whether to send a report to ask about the battle situation on the Chifeng front line, Ma Desheng hurried in with a piece of telegram.

    "Commander, good news, good news!"

    Seeing the excitement on Ma Desheng's face, Li Guoyao was also a little excited. He clenched his fists and asked, "What's the news on the Chifeng front line?"

    "Well, Lao Chen and the others have surrounded the 14th Division of Jingguan Longchang in the mountainous area west of Linxi. They have also annihilated one part of the Seventh Division and surrounded it. They are currently encircling and annihilating these Japanese and puppet troops."

    "Hahaha, okay, okay, I'm relieved now!"

    Li Guoyao then asked: "What are the casualties of our unit?"

    "It's okay. The casualties in the Bahrain Zuo Banner battle exceeded 5,000, and the battle in Linxi also lost more than 2,000 people. But in comparison, the casualties of the little devils were even more heavy."

    "Well, send a report to Lao Chen so that they don't have to worry about it. They launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in the encirclement overnight. We must knock out the spirit of the little devil before daylight tomorrow!"

    "Commander, are you an aviation soldier who is worried about the Japs?"

    "Well, as expected, starting from tomorrow, the Japs' reinforcements will continue to move toward the Western Front, and the first to bear the brunt must be the aviation force. We don't have an air force, so we don't have air supremacy. With a small number of air defense forces, we can't protect it at all.  No more than a hundred thousand troops."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "And as expected, once the Japanese air force comes to reinforce, the little devils in the encirclement will definitely seize the opportunity to break out. If they can't knock out the opponent's spirit tonight, the pressure on the troops will be heavy tomorrow."  It¡¯s just too big.¡±

    "Okay, I'll send a telegram to Lao Chen right now!"

    "Wait a moment, and send a telegram to Lu Zhanwu by the way. Once the battle on the Western Front breaks out, it will be a rare opportunity for them. Take this opportunity and let them give the little devil a hard blow and another large-scale fight.  The attack battle!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Where is the goal?"

    "Let them make their own choices. Anyway, there are twenty regiments in the eastward column, which is more than enough to attack any place!"

    "yes!"

    Dividing line

    Following Li Guoyao's order, the frontline troops took action quickly.

    Originally, the Japanese and puppet troops thought that after fighting for most of the day, the Chinese army would take a break this evening and they could have a good rest.

    However, it was quickly discovered that this idea was too extravagant. Starting at eight o'clock, the Chinese army launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese and puppet troops from a range of nearly 12 kilometers from north to south.

    At the same time, the Japanese and puppet troops in Bahrain Left Banner and Linxi were also attacked by the national army.

    There were also many hills in the area where the Japanese army was surrounded. These little devils were able to defend themselves according to the danger. In addition, the Japanese army also had a small number of tanks and many cars. They formed a circle around these cars and tanks to serve as bunkers.

    In Jingguan Longchang¡¯s view, such a defensive position is enough to stop the Chinese army¡¯s attack.

    But when the attack actually started, in front of the organized field artillery, their vehicles and temporary defenses were as if they were paper.

    Jingguan Takanchang immediately ordered his artillery regiment to counterattack immediately, but the Japanese-made Type 41 mountain gun was completely inadequate in front of the Soviet 76mm field gun, and soon the artillery of a regiment was beaten to pieces.

    Without the fire support of artillery, the Japanese army's defensive power was greatly reduced.

    The battle lasted from eight o'clock in the evening to five thirty in the morning, and a bloody battle ended.As a result, the Japanese army's living space has shrunk from the original 12 kilometers to the current six kilometers, which is about half less.

    And the Japanese army suffered extremely heavy casualties. Only 16,000 of the original 33,000-plus soldiers were left, of which more than 3,000 were wounded.

    In other words, after a day and night of bloody fighting, Jingguan Longchang's troops lost a total of more than 17,000 people.

    The attrition here is different from the usual attrition. Those who were injured and lost combat effectiveness were also included in the attrition range, but now the attrition is basically gone.

    Although the puppet troops accounted for the majority of these losses, the Japanese army also accounted for about half. Such huge losses were only experienced by the 14th Division during the Battle of Lanfeng.

    What¡¯s more important is that after a night of bloody fighting, they were divided into three sections. The front and rear were cut off by the Chinese army, and they could not communicate with each other.

    In addition, the troops also suffered heavy losses in supplies and ammunition, and their morale dropped to the extreme. This made Jingguan Longchang anxious overnight.

    "Compared to the 14th Division, Lin Xi's 7th Division is in an even worse situation.

    At 11 o'clock in the evening, the defenders of Bahrain Left Banner were annihilated. At this time, only Linxi was still under the control of the Japanese army among the four banner counties in the northwest of Chifeng. However, Linxi was also in danger, including Li, the commander of the 7th Division.  More than two thousand people, including Lieutenant General Dengxing No. 1, were surrounded in the county seat.

    Li Dengxing knew that the possibility of breaking through was not high, so he simply gave up the breakout and ordered his troops to wait for reinforcements.

    He knew very well that given the current situation of the 7th Division, which only relied on a dozen vehicles and two thousand remaining soldiers, they would probably be completely surrounded and annihilated as soon as they left the city.

    On the contrary, there is still a glimmer of hope for standing still and waiting for reinforcements. At least the Kwantung Army headquarters cannot just sit back and watch these two major regiments being wiped out, and will definitely send troops for reinforcements.

    Moreover, the 29th Division is right on the front line of Wangye Temple. Although the distance is 500 kilometers, the 29th Division is one of the few mechanized troops of the Imperial Japanese Army. For them, the distance of 500 kilometers is only one day.  Just the distance.

    Li Dengxingyi believed that with the two thousand men under his command, it should not be a problem to stick to Linxi for one or two days.

    However, what Li Dengxing did not expect was that under the full attack of the national army, the 7th Division's two lines of defense outside Linxi City only lasted less than five hours before being completely destroyed.

    Without the support of the peripheral defense line, the Linxi defenders had only the last city wall as a support.

    " However, Linxi is not an important town. Although it has a city wall, it is not only short and dilapidated, but cannot withstand the heavy bombardment of artillery fire.

    According to Li Dengxingyi's prediction, Linxi will definitely be defeated within one day at most tomorrow, and he will have to engage in fierce street fighting. If the street fighting cannot stop the attack of the man, he will probably end up in the ninth level.  , and became a special general of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    " Li Dengying didn't care much about dying in battle. After all, if the earthen pot was broken without leaving the well mouth, the general would inevitably die before the battle. It was his long-cherished wish to be shrouded in horse leather, and he would not be afraid of it.

    It was really hard for him to accept being surrounded and suppressed in a small county town like this.

    What¡¯s more important is that the time they fought each other was too short, and they still don¡¯t know the specific numbers of the enemy troops, nor their commanders.

    It would be really cowardly if he died like this.

    But now that the matter has come to this, he has no other choice but to keep asking the chief of staff to send reports to the Kwantung Army headquarters, requesting reinforcements.
