Lei Jian glanced at Wang Xiaoliang again under the beacon fire, and then said: "Once we don't withdraw from Laiyuan City in time and entangle with the enemy in the city, we will inevitably be surrounded in the city by the Katayama Brigade that rushed over. ”

"My good man, it's so dangerous, Captain Lei, so why should we wait until dawn? Once the Katayama Brigade arrives early, won't our only regiment be in danger? ”

"There is some truth in that, according to analysis, Quyang, on the way to Fuping, where the only regiment was transferred, happened to meet the 180th Division that had increased troops to the Xuzhou front, in order to avoid the powerful enemy, my only regiment had to pinch the time to transfer, this should understand, right?"

After Lei Jian finished speaking, he stood up and ordered Wang Xiaoliang: "Order the troops to launch a general attack on time at five o'clock, and withdraw from the county seat immediately with rapid fire cover in five minutes, I will wait for you outside the city." ”

"Yes, please rest assured, Commander Lei, I will convey your order."

Lei Jian led the guard platoon to quickly rush out of the county seat, and said to Ma Mingshan, who came over: "Political Commissar Ma, are all departments of the only regiment ready to evacuate?" ”

"Don't worry, everything is ready, the regimental organs and all directly subordinate departments, after receiving the order, can set off immediately."

At this moment, I only heard the sudden sound of guns and cannons in Laiyuan City, and the smoke and flames in the city spread, and the battalions of the only regiment advanced to the depth for five minutes with the most fierce firepower, and when the enemy was dizzy, they immediately retreated outside the city under cross-cover.

In less than fifteen minutes, the entire Duyi Regiment withdrew from Laiyuan City.

The commander of the enemy defending Laiyuan City, did not expect that at more than four o'clock in the morning, the Eighth Route Army that attacked the city, suddenly launched the most fierce attack, he supervised the defense of the enemy puppet army to resist with all his might, seeing that the position was lost, and the Eighth Route Army was defeated and retreated, the Eighth Route Army was like a whirlwind, coming and going without leaving a trace, only in the blink of an eye, the shadow of the Eighth Route Army was gone.

In the second phase of the battle of 100 regiments deployed by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, our anti-Japanese troops in the central Hebei region, in accordance with the instructions of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, smoothly advanced in the first stage, and immediately moved into the second stage of expanding the results of the battle and launching an offensive against the enemy's extended strongholds.

In Daqiu, Hejian, Dacheng and other places, they successively conquered more than 30 Japanese strongholds, destroyed more than 100 kilometers of highways, defeated more than a dozen puppet regimes, restored the local anti-Japanese regime, and dealt a great blow to the extended forces of the enemy puppet army.

In the face of the victory of expanding the results of the battle, our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was preparing to continue to extend its offensive outward, and the devils gathered a large number of enemy and puppet troops from Laiyuan, Lingqiu, Hunyuan, Guangcheng, Shangxiazhuang, Dongtuanbao and other strongholds, and frantically counterattacked our Eighth Route Army with the main force of the Japanese army that had pounced from Datong.

The enemy and puppet armies in other strongholds are also ready to move, ready to carry out a new sweep against our anti-Japanese base areas at any time.

Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, based on the battle situation reported by various combat units and the signs of enemy linkage, analyzed that the Japanese army would concentrate superior forces and take advantage of the fact that the main force of our Eighth Route Army was carrying out a battle of 100 regiments along the Zhengtai Road, and that the anti-Japanese base area was empty, and he would definitely take advantage of the weakness to enter and launch the craziest counterattack.

Commander Nie resolutely ordered the combat units in all battlefields to immediately close their battle lines, immediately withdraw from the battle, and move to places where the enemy's forces were weak, and the troops were resting and waiting for standby.

In the second phase of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, from 22 September to 10 October, the Lailing Campaign lasted 18 days, during which all the cadres and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army bravely killed the enemy and bravely sacrificed their lives, destroying more than 1,100 enemies and capturing more than 1,500 guns and ammunition of various kinds, 79 mortars, 500 boxes of artillery shells, and more than 800,000 rounds of ammunition.

In the Lailing Campaign, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region suffered 1,721 casualties, including more than 600 casualties in the only regiment, and successively conquered important Japanese strongholds such as Dongtuanbao, Jianggezhuang, Qujiahe, and Nanpotou, defeated the arrogance of the enemy and puppet army, and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army in North China.

In view of the tremendous results achieved in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army ordered the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region to move into the second stage, and the main task was to carry out the struggle in the Liaoyu region for the purpose of recovering the strongholds of Yushe and Liaoxian, and to continuously attack the strongholds in the northern section of the Baijin Road with part of its troops, so as to expand the results of the battle outward.

According to the instructions of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the headquarters of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region ordered the two regiments of the 386th Brigade and the First Column of the Decisive Death to be the left wing columns, and to conquer several strongholds such as Yushe and Yanbi with the most ferocious advance speed.

The 385th Brigade and the 32nd Regiment of the newly formed 11th Brigade were ordered to be the right flank column to launch an attack on the Japanese strongholds in the areas of Guantou, Shangpu, and Xiaoling, and to hold the Langya Mountain in the west of Liao County with a force to block the enemy reinforcements from Liao County to the west.

The newly formed 10th Brigade was ordered to forcibly march to the uphill road, build fortifications, do a good job of pinning down and blocking the Japanese troops in the two strongholds of Xiyang and Heshun, and reinforce the enemy who was surrounded by the Jin-Hebei-Henan Military Region and the main forces of the left and right flanks of our Eighth Route Army, and strive to annihilate them.

In view of the second phase of the Battle of the 100 Regiments, Commander Liu of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region ordered the heads of all units present to take the battle of attacking fortified positions as the main method: "If the enemy in some strongholds resists stubbornly for a long time, he will use all necessary means, such as strong attacks and tunnel operations, to try to overcome them." ”

On September 21, 1940, it was a rainy day, and the road was muddy, especially in North China.

The cadres and soldiers of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region and the 386th Brigade, who had completed the first stage of the Hundred Regiments War, were blown by the cool breeze, and they did not have that sweaty stickiness, and they felt dry, not only in a happy mood, but also talked about the weather.

Commander Chen of the Taiyue Military Region had just finished holding a summary meeting of the first section of the 100-regiment battle at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and he rushed back to the unit with his entourage to prepare for a meeting of the heads of relevant departments to make arrangements for the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region's combat mission for the second phase of the 100-regiment battle.

Commander Chen saw Chief of Staff Zhou, who had a wound in his eye during the first phase of the operation, and returned to the unit from the rear hospital, and shouted happily: "Old Zhou, you have come back too timely, and the Yuliao Battle is about to begin." ”

"That's great, we have another big battle to fight, how about it, your Commander Chen notified the convening of the first phase of the 100-regiment battle, is it directly going to deploy the second phase of the troop combat mission?"

"Lao Zhou, you know me too well, I plan to do this, one is to summarize the successes and failures of the first phase of the Hundred Regiments War, and the other is to deploy the second phase of the campaign according to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to carry out a general mobilization of the troops." Commander Chen said thoughtfully.

In accordance with the arrangements made by the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region, the Taiyue Military Region ordered the 386th Brigade and friendly troops to form a left wing column, and ordered it to launch the most fierce attack on Yushe, Yanbi, Wangjing, and other strongholds on time at 23 o'clock on 23 September.

Commander Chen stood in front of the conference table, staring at the operational map spread out on the table with a solemn face, and Chief of Staff Zhou, who was standing on the side, said: "Commander Chen, if we want to move our troops to the target in advance at the specified time, we must do a good job in adjusting the troops before the war, consider the specialties of each regiment, and assign specific tasks to battalions and companies, which may play a better role. ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too." After careful study and deployment, Commander Chen and Chief of Staff Zhou finally decided: Order Chief of Staff Zhou to lead the 772nd Regiment and the 16th Regiment, the main target of which is Yushe, Commander Chen led the 25th Regiment to capture the rock wall, and the 38th Regiment to destroy the stronghold of Wangjing.

After the meeting, Chief of Staff Zhou immediately convened a meeting of the commanders and political commissars of the 772nd Regiment and the 16th Regiment, and Regiment Commander Guo of the 772nd Regiment first mentioned: "If you want to conquer Yushe, you must know yourself and your opponent, so that you can have a good idea in wartime, so as not to fight indiscriminately without touching the enemy's situation and causing casualties to the troops." ”

The head of the 16th regiment immediately chimed in: "I agree with what Regiment Commander Guo said, otherwise we will personally investigate in danger and get first-hand information, and we will be able to say everything." ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon of 22 September, Chief of Staff Zhou took 11 people, including Regiment Commander Guo and Regiment Commander Cha, and under the cover and cooperation of the underground anti-Japanese government and the enemy's puppet 'maintenance association,' they disguised themselves as villagers in the village.

Chief of Staff Zhou whispered to Regiment Commander Guo and Regiment Commander Cha: "Our eleven soldiers are divided into three routes, around Yushe City to investigate, and an hour later we will meet at Hou's house, everyone be careful and act." ”
