Chapter 617 The whole of Southwest Hebei is in chaos
Destroy and destroy.
The phrase "unstoppable" is no longer enough to describe the way the Japanese 110th Division was routed under the attack of the entire independent regiment. If it was the first attack on Shijiazhuang City, the Japanese would have been defeated, but not so miserably, after all, there were still many bunkers that could delay the independent regiment's offensive.
The last time the independent regiment withdrew, it had destroyed all the bunkers that could hide people, and was unable to form any effective defense. When the Japanese soldiers armed with bolt-action rifles faced an independent regiment armed with automatic weapons such as Type 56 submachine guns and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, they had almost no ability to stop them.
The Japs fell as easily as a sickle cutting wheat.
In less than an hour, the independent regiment directly eroded the entire city from west to east. In today's war, once they lose their organization and become defeated soldiers, the only thing waiting for them is a one-sided massacre.
The Japanese fell one after another, and our troops continued to advance and compress their living space.
The Locust Army's 8th Independent Mixed Brigade had been following not too far behind the 110th Division, about 110 to kilometers. Originally, this was to avoid irritating the th Division, which had suffered a crushing defeat. However, after the battle began, the distance of to kilometers almost became an insurmountable barrier.
Faced with the 110th Division's constant requests for help and urgent telegrams from the direction of Peking, the soldiers of the Japanese 8th Independent Mixed Brigade were almost able to swing their short legs out to leave afterimages, and the Japanese car soldiers had already stepped on the accelerator into the fuel tank.
It's a pity that the Japanese army's current level of industrialization has not yet reached the level of mechanization, and it has not even reached motorization. It can only be considered animal-powered at best.
When Lao Li caught up with the monk with his Type 56 submachine gun, the monk had already shot through the entire Shijiazhuang with his handheld Gatling gun. The two of them stood on the northeast edge of the city and looked at the gradually sparse houses, then they realized that they had captured Shijiazhuang again.
Li Yunlong supported 56 Chong, bent over and gasped for breath. As the regiment commander, he trained too little and his physical strength was obviously not up to par. His breathing was as heavy as an old bellows, and he wheezed with the slightest movement.
"Monk, you bastard, weren't you told to be the last one to launch the attack? How did you get to the front? You're running faster than the tanks in the cavalry battalion."
After Lao Li recovered a little, he started scolding the monk.
The monk put down the Gatling gun and scratched his head, not knowing how to refute. He could only laugh and said, "Captain, you asked me to be the last one to charge, but I ran so fast that I came to the front."
When Old Li heard this, he stood up, kicked the monk with his weak legs, glared at him fiercely, but finally said nothing.
"Pass on my order. All teams must evacuate quickly and in turns. All must withdraw from the battle within 20 minutes. Anyone who violates the order will be punished by me!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
......
On the chaotic battlefield, Lao Li's order was passed down, and all the soldiers who originally wanted to pursue the enemy retreated. The gunshots gradually stopped, with only a few sporadic gunshots.
The Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan was a little reluctant: "Commander, we have entered the city twice and haven't even cleaned up the battlefield. Although we don't think highly of the Japs' guns and artillery, some of their equipment will be very useful if we take it back to Taiyuan and give it to Guo Shoujue and his men."
Li Yunlong glared and said, "Damn it, do you think I don't want to? These are all treasures. Under normal circumstances, even if one or two of them were missing, I would be heartbroken.
But isn't there no time now?
Twenty minutes later, the Japanese reinforcements would have arrived. If we were held back by them, we would be dead."
Old Li has a very clear view of the current battlefield situation. Although the independent regiment has just been defeated with ease, it has also fought two major battles in the past few days. It has definitely reached its mental and logistical limits. If it continues to fight like this, it may suffer a great loss.
If it's a disadvantageous situation, what can we, Old Li, do?
"Don't bother me anymore, kid. If the Second Battalion can't withdraw from the battle on time, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
The second battalion commander also understood that this was not the time to be greedy for these equipments, but he was just reluctant to give them up.
After hearing the assembly call, the soldiers of the independent regiment who were scattered at the front line of the attack immediately evacuated. Outside the city of Shijiazhuang, the cavalry battalion had started all the cars, waiting for the soldiers of the independent regiment to get on.
As soon as the car is full, we leave without any hesitation. The organization is at full capacity.
The cavalry battalion was the absolute main force in this evacuation operation. Dozens of vehicles roared into the air, and the smoke and dust almost covered the sky.
Eight Type 8 modified tanks were stationed in the rear, ready to stop the pursuing Japanese soldiers at any time.
From the launch of the shelling to the complete withdrawal from the battle, the entire time was only two hours, so fast that it seemed like a dream.
Shijiazhuang had almost been turned into a wasteland, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers were scattered all over the ground, some of which had begun to rot and stink, and some were just killed in today's battle.
For the Japanese soldiers involved, it was truly a nightmare.
When the Japanese 8th Independent Mixed Brigade tried their best to gather the defeated soldiers of the 110th Division and arrived outside Shijiazhuang, they found that the city was dead silent, without even any noise or gunfire.
There were only corpses on the ground and scattered smoke.
Even though these devils wanted to hunt down the independent regiment that had just left, they sadly discovered that with the mechanization level of their Locust Army Type B Division at that time, they could not catch up with the independent regiment at all.
Even if several or even dozens of trucks caught up with the enemy with all their might, they would either be blown into pieces or crushed into pieces by the heavy tanks of the independent regiment.
There is absolutely no possibility of fighting.
Pursuing them with their current combat effectiveness would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree.
As the smoke of gunpowder in Shijiazhuang gradually subsided, the smell of gunpowder in Jincheng became stronger and stronger.
Chu Yunfei ordered the 89th Division to make all logistical preparations before setting out. Fang Ligong was drafting a telegram to be sent to Commander Yan. He had decided to make a big scene with Chu Yunfei, but he had to think about how to give all parties a way out as much as possible so that they could cover it up even if they were investigated later.
Just when Fang Ligong was scratching his head, the signalman brought news that the Eighth Route Army had completed the second attack on Shijiazhuang and was now quickly evacuating Hebei. The Japanese 8th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 12th Division of the Kwantung Army were rushing to Shijiazhuang to provide support.
Ok?
After seeing this telegram, Fang Ligong was suddenly at a loss. What the hell was going on?
Why is this war being fought so strangely that I, who have fought wars for so many years, cannot understand it?
"Commander, Commander, don't rush to mobilize the troops. The fighting in Shijiazhuang is over!" After verifying the authenticity of the news again, Fang Ligong went to find Chu Yunfei with the telegram.
"what?"
Chu Yunfei, who was in an excited state, was also confused when he saw this telegram. What the hell was going on?
Is my brother Yunlong too incompetent or too powerful?
One possibility is that Li Yunlong was scared when facing the Japanese reinforcements, and he quickly ran away after firing a few shots.
Another possibility is that Li Yunlong was too powerful. He led his troops to kill through the entire Shijiazhuang city for the second time and wiped out the Japanese 110th Division right under the noses of the reinforcements.
No matter which of the two situations it is, it is enough to surprise Chu Yunfei.
The entire Ji area has been turned into a mess, and they are still waiting for me to attack Wei and save Zhao, and they are still waiting for me to help?
Chu Yunfei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just felt like he had punched cotton and felt helpless.
"This Li Yunlong!"
