Hearing Mu Changqiu's doubts, the detachment leader slightly calculated the distance to the city wall, and said with a smile: "Old Mu, don't worry. In the past, when we fought in the Seki, we did not have artillery, and we attacked the walls held by the enemy, and we all adopted this method. It's a familiar thing to do. Start now, and you'll be able to do it tomorrow morning. ”

"Besides, we're not building a city, we're just digging two blasting passages. Coupled with the quality of the soil in this area, there is absolutely no problem with this speed. As long as you have enough explosives to distract the devils, I promise to blow up the walls for you tomorrow morning. ”

"If you want to fight a regular large corps operation, especially a tank interspersed operation, our equipment and training are not good, and you are not as handy. You can play this kind of hole-punching tactic, but you can't resist the United Nations. At this point, you can rest assured, and we will see the results tomorrow morning. ”

Looking at the confident detachment leader, Mu Changqiu touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "Okay, just do as you say." I will suppress the Japanese troops at the head of the city with artillery and firepower, and cover your advance with tanks. As for explosives, I give you five hundred, no, a thousand kilograms. I'm transferring my divisional engineer battalion to your command. ”

The plan was decided, and Mu Changqiu immediately adjusted his deployment. All the tanks were transferred except for two companies, and the rest of the tanks were transferred with a battalion of infantry, and immediately forcibly interspersed eastward along the Pingsui railway line to meet the troops personally commanded by Chen Hanzhang in the middle road.

He commanded two infantry regiments, a cavalry brigade, and the main force of the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment to launch an attack on Guisui, focusing on the turtle-like Suiyuan City in front of him. He made a feint attack with the 13th Regiment from the east and the 15th Regiment from the north, covering a battalion of the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment in the northeast, plus his own engineer battalion digging a blasting tunnel in the north.

A tank company and a cavalry battalion, the only cavalry regiment left by the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment, were placed on the front line of Taige Mu in the west of the city, cutting off the connection between Guisui and Baotou. and blockaded the west of Guisui City to prevent the Japanese puppet army in Guisui City from retreating westward.

In order to cover the excavation of the tunnel, Mu Changqiu bluffed to the extreme. Throughout the night, the gunfire outside the city did not stop. After a night of fierce fighting, the 13th Regiment used artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun fire to suppress the enemy's fire at the head of the city and captured the urn city at the east gate. Although it was hindered in the development of depth, it drove a wedge in the defensive line of the Japanese defenders in Suiyuan City.

Although the 15th Regiment was in the north of the city, which was heavily defended by the Japanese army, and failed to reach the city after successive attacks, after a night of fierce fighting, the attacking troops had already reached the city wall. The Japanese firepower points on the periphery of the north of the city were basically cleared. It can be said that the troops have completed the final preparations for the attack on Suiyuan City.

As for Guihua City in the south, the 1st Cavalry Brigade in charge of operations, with the cooperation of two battalions of the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment, had already surrounded the remnants of the Japanese army in Guihua City in the Longwang Temple in the west of Guihua City. As for the puppet military and police in the naturalized city, they all disarmed and surrendered.

There were even a few puppet troops in the strongholds, seeing that the situation was not good, and gave full play to the style of the grass on the wall. Taking advantage of his numerical superiority, he tied up the Japanese officers and soldiers who were supervising the battle, or simply killed them in order to surrender to the Anti-Japanese Union. Until now, it can be said that the entire Guihua City has been occupied by the 1st Cavalry Brigade.

Only the last remnants of the Japanese army in the planned city of more than 100 people, still trapped in the small temple of the Dragon King Temple, are still resisting stubbornly. As for Nishihara's order to retreat to Suiyuan City, it was already impossible to carry out when it was received. Now it is the last chance, and it has been completely lost.

The reason why the remaining remnants of the Japanese army of more than 100 Japanese troops were able to resist was because Mu Changqiu was worried that if the Japanese army in Guihua City was defeated, the Japanese army in Suiyuan City would use the cover of night to break through under the condition that they had become frightened birds. Mu Changqiu, who didn't want even a Japanese army to run out of the city, didn't take Naturalization City first in the end.

Instead, he gave an order to trap the remaining 100 Japanese soldiers first. After the general attack on Suiyuan City's side begins, they will be solved together. However, in order to end the battle as much as possible, unnecessary casualties should be reduced as much as possible. Mu Changqiu reinforced the 1st Cavalry Brigade with two artillery batteries and a heavy mortar company. After the general attack began, the commander of the 1st Brigade did not have to force the attack, and directly sent this dragon king temple back to their Japanese hometown with artillery shells, along with the Japanese troops inside.

The fierce fighting of the night consumed most of the remaining living forces of the Japanese army in Guisui City, and created an excellent condition for the final general attack. After a night of hard fighting, he dug three tunnels more than 300 meters long in the northeast corner of the city wall that reached the city wall.

Although almost all the officers and soldiers were exhausted, in the early morning, all the 1,000 kilograms of high-explosive TNT explosives allocated by Mu Changqiu had been loaded under the city wall. All the detonators have been connected and are waiting for the final order from the superiors.

After receiving the report that the preparations had been made on the other side of the tunnel, Mu Changqiu immediately withdrew the two main battalions of the 15th Regiment from the north and secretly detoured back to the northeast. At the same time, the 13th Regiment was ordered to intensify the attack and advance as deep as possible. Attract all the main forces of the Japanese defenders in the city to the line of Yingxu Gate in the east to cover the breakthrough in the northeast.

With the issuance of Mu Changqiu's general attack order, accompanied by a loud bang, this road was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and has been continuously repaired by successive generations. The base is built with a stone base, the internal rammed earth, the outer blue bricks and extremely strong, the northeast city wall of Suiyuan City, which gave Mu Changqiu a headache, was directly blown down by the violent explosion generated by a full ton of explosives.

Not only did the walls around the blasting point collapse, but also a large section of the city wall north of the east gate and east of the north gate was also destroyed. Nearly half of the entire eastern and rear walls were completely blown down. Under the destruction of the explosion, a huge slope was formed, and the breakthrough for infantry assault was opened.

Seeing that the breakthrough had been opened, Mu Changqiu did not wait for the smoke to dissipate, so he commanded the two main battalions that had been secretly transferred before the detonation, and under the cover of fire from four anti-aircraft machine guns and mortar shells, they quickly rushed through the breakthrough and developed in depth. As for the few Japanese troops on the two walls who survived the explosion, only two reinforced platoons were sent to sweep along the walls.

The Japanese army, which was caught off guard by the blasting, was continuously broken through the deep defense line in the northeast direction in a short period of time. And the 13th Regiment at the East City Gate, with the support of the flank of the breakthrough troops, also broke through the Japanese defense line in Wengcheng, which had not been held before, in one fell swoop, except for leaving a battalion control zhì breakthrough, the main force of the whole regiment broke into the depth of the city.

On the southern front, a battalion of the cavalry brigade responsible for cutting off the Japanese connection between Suiyuan City and Guihua City also broke through the southern city gate with the cooperation of a regiment of the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment that had withdrawn its hand and changed the direction of the attack. Attack Suiyuan City from the south, and develop rapidly in depth.

The puppet Mongolian army in the city was not very relieved, and because of a mistake, he tossed the fourth brigade of the main cavalry in the city, and when deploying the defense, the main living forces of the Japanese army in the city were placed in the north and east of the city. Especially in the east of the city, almost half of the Japanese defenders in the city and more than one-third of the puppet Mongolian army were concentrated.

In the night battle with the Thirteenth Regiment, although they held the defensive line west of the Urn City, they suffered extremely heavy losses. The defenders in the north of the city were entangled by a battalion of the 15th Regiment, and they were simply unable to reinforce the rest of the directions. The entire Guisui city was defended in depth, and the Japanese army was extremely weak. The troops that broke into the city took advantage of this situation to quickly develop in depth.

Although the Japanese puppet army used the houses in the city to resist desperately. However, under the fire of a large number of small-caliber direct-aim artillery equipped by the Anti-Japanese Union, the resistance of the Japanese army quickly collapsed. As for the puppet Mongolian army, they surrendered in large numbers. By noon, the entire defense of the Japanese army in Guisui City had collapsed.

The remnants of the Japanese army were continuously broken through the deep positions, and they were worried that the few remaining troops would be divided by the enemy. I didn't care about the ideas of those puppet Mongolian troops, and all of them shrank into the Suiyuan General's Mansion in Chengyuan in the shortest possible time.

Although Nishihara Kazuse repeatedly made mistakes in decision-making during this battle, he was also tough and solid, and he did not lose the unusual calm of the general's demeanor. In the situation where the outer city defense line collapsed and the defenders suffered heavy casualties, the depth of the defense inside the city was continuously broken through. did not give the order to break through to the west of the city, which was still calm, but stubbornly ordered to hold the last position.

In fact, it's not that he is really as stable as Mount Tai, and he really doesn't want to break through, so he sits here honestly and waits for death. As early as the first time when the city wall was blown down, he already knew that Suiyuan City could not be defended, so he once thought about leading the army to break through to the west. But he was very worried that the enemy had set up an ambush in the west, waiting for him to take the bait.

Otherwise, why is the Anti-Union only besieging on three sides, and the west alone is unusually calm? In the art of war, he still understands some of the tactics of encircling three and one in the art of war. Although the enemy army has not invested many troops, but so many tanks and trucks have rushed over, is it still difficult for the infantry? It's almost impossible to think about it.

At present, the enemy army is only focusing on besieging the three sides of Guisui City, leaving only the west side without movement, and it is strange that there are no ghosts in it. The annihilation of the entire Fourth Cavalry Brigade made this lieutenant general Nishihara Issei really dare not fight the enemy outside the city. In his opinion, there is still a glimmer of life in holding on, and if he breaks through the siege of the fortified city, he will definitely be dead under the pursuit of the enemy's tanks.

Thinking about it, thinking about it, this Lieutenant General Nishihara Yice still decided to stick to the most solid building in Suiyuan City, the office of the puppet Mongolian and Xinjiang United Autonomous Government, and the most famous historical building in the entire Suiyuan City, the Suiyuan General's Mansion built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, more than 100 Japanese soldiers who shrank into the Dragon King Temple, along with this small temple with a small area of not large, were wiped out under the artillery fire of the 1st Cavalry Brigade. The remnants of the entire Guisui garrison, together with the famous traitors and traitors in Guisui City, were all compressed into the Suiyuan General's Mansion.

Mu Changqiu, who followed the second echelon into Guisui City, adjusted his deployment according to the battle situation. He transferred the two tank companies on the Western Front, which were originally preparing to wait for the Japanese army to break through, into the city. With a company of T-34 tanks, using heavy armor, the outer wall of General Guisui's mansion was directly collapsed in many places, making a breakthrough for the infantry to enter.

After the tank opened the breach, he directly threw in two companies to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops who were still desperately resisting the last from the north and south. The BT tank, which replaced the T 34 tank, stayed at the breakthrough point and used 45 mm tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns to cover the troops entering the courtyard.

During the battle for the Suiyuan General's Mansion, Mu Changqiu did not take the time when the last remaining troops of the Japanese army were surrounded by the Naturalized City, but directly covered it with artillery fire, and sent the Japanese puppet soldiers inside directly to the sky along with the buildings. After careful consideration, the method of fighting one by one was adopted, and the courtyards were gnawed one by one.
