Chapter 580: Beasts are inferior
Li Weimin had already used the strength of two regiments to surround all the troops of the little devil north of Yujing, and of course Li Weimin also had a regimental reserve in his hands.
According to Li Weimin's plan, besieging the little devils here is more conducive to their next battle. If the battle takes place around Sanyin County, there will be a large amount of supplies for the little devils in the county seat, and it will definitely be impossible to eliminate so many little devils in a short period of time.
Now the little devil is surrounded in the field, there are no reinforcements outside, no ammunition, food and grass inside, as long as the little devil can't break through for a long time, morale will inevitably be hit, plus ammunition and food and grass are exhausted. Li militia can completely take down these little devils without bloodshed.
The Japanese army was like a fly without a head, slamming left and right in the encirclement carefully set up by Li Weimin, and the final result was only a large loss of troops, and no progress was made.
The commander of the little devil is a little lost, since he came to China, he can give his life for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Japanese Empire and for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia.
But since arriving in San'in and receiving a series of orders, all his beliefs have begun to waver. From the place where the war began, the base camp said that the war in China could be ended in three months, but now more than two years have passed, and more and more soldiers have died, especially in San'in, and his superiors have ordered him to abandon the soldiers in San'in City if necessary.
This series of things began to shake the most fundamental thing in his heart, he stopped blindly fighting, and began to think about what all this was for, and why so many people died.
But now no one has given him an answer, and now that he has come to the end of his life, it is impossible for anyone to tell him the answer.
The Chinese army, hidden in the dark, did not attack them, but surrounded them. The commander of the little devils knew very well that the Chinese army just wanted to surround them to death, and they did not want to attack.
"Send a telegram to tell Your Excellency the commander that we have been surrounded by the new 33rd Army in Yujing, and after breaking through many times, we have suffered heavy losses, and we are no longer able to fight against the Chinese army, I will take the troops to fight the Chinese army to the end, and everything left can only depend on the destiny of heaven!"
The commander of the little devil did not send a telegram to his superiors, but sent the telegram directly to the commander of the little devil.
When the commander of the Japanese army in Shanxi saw the telegram, he was furious, and then sent the telegram to Datong, asking why he did not obey his orders and why he arranged reinforcements to rescue Shanyin City at all costs.
Now that the troops in San'in City have been rescued, but now they still have to take more than 10,000 troops. In fact, the commander of the Japanese army did not know that when the Japanese army was surrounded, there were no longer so many troops in the troops, and the New 33rd Army had already lost a lot of troops by various methods along the way, and when they were on the periphery of Shanyin County, they were attacked by the New 33rd Army, and finally suffered heavy losses on the way to retreat, even if they added the troops retreating from Shanyin County, it was not enough for 10,000 people.
After the little devil commander of Datong saw the telegram, he understood that the reinforcements he sent out might never come back! Datong is now completely empty.
But he was not without gains, the reinforcements were surrounded, and the commander's telegram made him feel uneasy, that is, the city of Datong may be precarious, and the Chinese army may already be on the way to Datong.
"Chief of Staff, you take a squad of soldiers and plant explosives on all the valuable factories and mines in Datong City! As soon as the Chinese army attacks the city, it will immediately blow up all valuable military targets in the city. ”
The Japanese commander in Datong City knew what he was facing next, and with only more than 400 people left in the city, even if they had thousands of civilians and prisoners of war in their hands as shields, the commander of the little devil was ready to break the city.
Since Datong is destined to fall into the hands of the New 33rd Army, he wants to destroy all valuable things in Datong City, and not even a single bullet will be left for the New 33rd Army.
The chief of staff of the Japanese army just looked at his commander blankly, he didn't understand why he did this, at the beginning he said that the target of the Chinese army was Shuozhou, wouldn't it be Datong? Also, they have prepared so many hostages in Datong, and the Chinese army really dares to let these ordinary people and prisoners of war accompany them to the burial?
"Don't go yet!"
The commander of the little devil did not explain why, but just shouted loudly, because he felt that the Chinese army was already outside the gates of Datong and was waiting for them to launch an attack on Datong.
"Signal soldiers, send orders to the troops in the city, escort all the civilians we arrested to the city wall, as long as the Chinese army dares to attack Datong, kill these civilians immediately!"
In order to defend Datong, the commander of the little devil did everything he could, taking the people in the city and the prisoners of war they captured as shields, as long as the Chinese army dared to attack, they would block the prisoners of war in front of the troops, and if they wanted to take Datong, the new 33rd Army must kill all these ordinary people.
The commander of the little devil, when he was preparing for the worst, had not forgotten to hold the staff officer responsible for giving him bad ideas.
In the command headquarters, he stared at the staff officer, the staff officer avoided his eyes, did not dare to look up at him, the staff officer knew that something big was wrong, otherwise the commander's face would not be full of anger.
"Guards! Lock him up, and if we're still alive after the battle, send him to the Judge Advocate General's Office! ”
Two guards came in from the gate of the headquarters and dragged the staff officer out of the headquarters.
Then locking up the staff officers did not eliminate the anger and fear of the little devil command, because more than 10,000 soldiers were all his subordinates, and he was now a bare-bones commander except for these remnants around him.
If the Chinese army really came to attack Datong and won the battle, he might be able to save his life. If the Chinese army did not come to attack, then he would also be sent to a military court, awaiting trial.
Of course, there is another result, that is, the Chinese army is coming, and they are defeated, obviously according to the current situation of defense in Datong City, there is no reason to be undefeated.
Liao Fan led his troops over the mountains and mountains in the dark night, and the scouts could only pass through the mountains in order to find a hidden route, and then take the mountain roads that no one had walked, after all, those traffic arteries had the strongholds of little devils, and once their whereabouts were exposed, then there would be no effect of a surprise attack.
However, for an empty city, raid or not, the result is the same. Liao Fan has more than 3,000 troops in a regiment, not counting the soldiers of other affiliated units and special operations brigades who follow, facing Datong, which is only defended by a few hundred people, it is a strong attack, and the little devil will only end up in failure.
Of course, Liao Fan had already received information about Datong's current situation, but for the sake of prudence and to make sure that the little devil was not deliberately setting a trap for them, he chose a more secure way, that is, quietly......
The mountain road in the dark night is particularly walking, even if the new 33rd Army rises in the mountains, but the mountain road chosen by the scouts that no one has walked is still difficult for these men who are used to walking mountain roads.
Until dawn, except for the vanguard troops who entered the control of Datong, the large army had just broken away from the mountain road, and no longer had to suffer from the thorns on the mountain.
"Tell the soldiers, work hard, and after taking Datong, everyone can have a good rest!"
In order to urge the soldiers to speed up the march, Liao Fan has been cheering for the soldiers on the side, and the night of walking on the mountain road has made these young soldiers full of tiredness.
"Brother Fan, where have we been?"
After walking all night, Huang Changsheng didn't know how far he had walked, the key was that it was too dark at night, there were no coordinates, and it was difficult to walk the mountain road to calculate the speed of the marching army, so Huang Changsheng had no way to determine their current location.
Liao Fan looked at the white sky in the east, and then took out the map and spread it on the ground.
"We are now the party to stay in the village, to the west is Xihanling, to the east is the melon garden, according to our current speed at least an hour and a half to be able to reach the city of Datong!" Liao Fan estimated his speed.
Now their marching speed is much slower, and the physical strength of the soldiers has reached the limit, if they speed up again, I am afraid that after the soldiers reach Datong, they will not have the physical strength to fight.
"Brother Fan, do you want to arrange a battalion of troops to bypass Datong and go to Huayuantun?"
Huayuantun is an important town in Datong, and if the Japanese army really arranges reinforcements, the only possibility now is to transfer troops from the Suiyuan area south to support Datong. And the Huayuantun in the north of Datong is the only way for the little devils to reinforce the army, and if there is a change, they can resist a position in the Huayuantun.
Liao Fan thought for a moment, and then said to Huang Changsheng: "The Suiyuan region will not send reinforcements, there is Commander Fu's seventh group in the west to watch, once there is a storm, Commander Fu will lead the troops to the east, and then the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area will cross the river in the mud and it will be difficult to protect itself!" ”
Since last year, Fu Yisheng led his troops to launch a counteroffensive in the Suiyuan area and took Baotou, the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area has been much more honest, even if the Japanese army in Shanxi asked the Japanese army in the direction of Suiyuan for help, I am afraid that the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area is also powerless.
"Brother Fan, the latest information is coming from Datong City, and it was sent by the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade!"
Liao Fan took the information, and after seeing the content of the information, he scolded angrily: "The little devil is really not as good as a beast!" ”
"Brother Fan, what's wrong?" Huang Changsheng asked.
"See for yourself!" Liao Fan handed the information in his hand to Huang Changsheng.
After Huang Changsheng read the information, he was even more angry, although he admitted that in order to win in the war, he could do some unsightly things, but the little devil played this hand made him feel ashamed!
