Seeing more than forty Japanese corpses lined up on the playground, the officers and soldiers of the Puppet Mongolian Army were immediately dumbfounded.
If they were lucky before, they have no chance at all now, because Little Japan doesn't care whether they killed these more than forty Japanese. Little Japan only knows that these Japanese died in Iraq. Kezhao League, so they will only settle this account on all the people of Yikezhao League, and then launch the most brutal revenge.
The day when the little devil returns to the Yike Zhao League may be the day when the Yike Zhao League is destroyed.
Therefore, no matter whether they are willing or unwilling, they seem to have no other choice.
Furthermore, these more than forty Japanese corpses also made the officers and soldiers of the Puppet Mongolian Army realize the fact that the Japanese Japs were not invincible.
In fact, the puppet Mongolian army has a deep fear of the Japanese, especially the Japanese cavalry. Many puppet Mongolian officers and soldiers believe that the Japanese cavalry is far superior to the Mongolian cavalry and is the most powerful cavalry in the world. However, the word before their eyes The more than forty Japanese corpses lined up weakened this impression.
After discovering these two points, most of the Puppet Mongolian Army prisoners of war stood in front of the playground one after another. Xu Rui estimated that there were at least a thousand people, which was enough to defeat Leng Tiefeng, Cheng Luming and the other cavalry companies. The commander was extremely happy, especially Cheng Luming and the other three, because most of these were cavalry with excellent quality.
Now, Qi Qi Battalion can make a full force.
Xu Rui was also very happy, but what he was happy about was not that the Chahar Independent Regiment could finally become a full cavalry regiment, but that through this surprise attack on the Yike Zhao League, he found that the number of Japanese garrison in Hetao was very small. The puppet Mongolian army's fighting will is also very weak. This is simply a God-given opportunity.
…
News of the victory of the Yike Zhao League spread back to Yan'an early in the morning.
The first person to know the news was Mr. Zhu, who had been following Xu Rui.
Mr. Zhu came to Chairman Mao's house excitedly. Before he entered the courtyard, he waved and said: "Old Mao, good news!"
Chairman Mao, who was washing his face in the yard, smiled and said: "Boss, seeing how happy you are, is there any good news on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War? Which army won the war again?"
"It's Xu Rui. This guy is really a lucky member." As he spoke, Mr. Zhu had already walked into the courtyard gate, then handed over the telegram in his hand, and said, "This is what the Chahar Independent Regiment just said." The telegram sent back said that they had just captured the Yike Zhao League through a surprise attack, and that was all..."
After a pause, Mr. Zhu continued: "The key point is that this guy also forced a landing of a cavalry division of the puppet Mongolian army!"
"A forced landing of a cavalry division of the puppet Mongolian army?" Chairman Mao was slightly moved and said, "This is incredible."
"No." Mr. Zhu sat down on the small bench in the yard, then slapped his thigh and said, "Although the cavalry division of the Puppet Mongolian Army is somewhat inconsistent with its name, it is only a cavalry regiment at best, but even if it is a cavalry Regiment, that’s a big deal, it means that the Chahar Independent Regiment has truly become a regiment.”
Frankly speaking, when Xu Rui was sent north, Chairman Mao and Zhu did not think that Xu Rui could open up the situation so quickly. The reason why Xu Rui was given the designation of an independent regiment was entirely because of Xu Rui's ability. There are also records out there, and it is necessary to give a regiment a number. After all, Xu Rui also served as a regiment leader.
That is to say, Xu Rui's qualifications are relatively junior, otherwise he would have to be at least brigade level.
After Chairman Mao read the telegram, he remained silent for a while and fell into deep thought.
Mr. Zhu continued: "Before we sent Xu Rui and the Langya Brigade north to the Hetao, it was just to protect the safety of the northern part of the Yellow River defense line. Later, when the operation changed, it was just a flank attack on the Hetao to contain the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia. Unexpectedly, This kid Xu Rui didn't follow the routine at all, and turned his side attack into a strong attack."
Chairman Mao came to his senses and said: "Now the situation in the Loop is going to be turned upside down."
"That's not the case." Mr. Zhu's judgment seemed to be slightly different from Chairman Mao's. He shook his head and said, "Xu Rui just made an emergency landing on a cavalry regiment of the Puppet Mongolian Army, but the morale of the army is not stable. He at least needs to be trained first. After a period of time, will it be possible to continue attacking the flags surrounding the Yike Zhao League?"
Chairman Mao laughed and said: "Boss, do you still remember what you just said?"
Mr. Zhu was stunned for a moment and asked: "What did I say just now? It seems that I didn't say anything."
Chairman Mao shook his head and said: "Boss, you just said that this little guy Xu Rui didn't follow the routine and asked him to flank the Hetao to contain the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia. As a result, this kid turned the flank attack into a frontal attack, and took Not to mention the Yike Zhao Alliance, they also forced the landing of a cavalry division of the puppet Mongolian army."
Boss Zhu interjected: "There is actually only one regiment of troops."
Chairman Mao nodded and said: "In short, Xu Rui never follows the routine when fighting, but he always brings surprises. Do you think that after winning the Yik Zhao League and making an emergency landing of the Puppet Mongolian Army? After joining the Cavalry Regiment, will he stay in the Yike Zhao League for training? I think it is unlikely."
Mr. Zhu said in surprise: "If the foundation is not stable, then you rush to attack. This is a taboo for military strategists!"
"What we are familiar with does not apply to Xu Rui." Chairman Mao shook his head, "Just wait, Xu Rui will bring us more surprises soon. This time, he will definitely Turning the Loop upside down, our party will soon have multiple base areas in the Loop, so hurry up and ask the Organization Department to prepare cadres to support the Loop."
…
Chairman Mao is Chairman Mao, and he knows things like a god.
Xu Rui is really ready to take down the entire Loop, even Hangjin Banner.
At this meeting, Xu Ruizheng convened a meeting of all cadres above the company. The topic of the meeting was whether it was necessary to take advantage of the victory to seize the counties surrounding the Yike Zhao League, or even capture the entire Hetao and establish the Hetao base area
Xu Rui pointed at the map with his hand and said: "Through the battle of Yikezhao League, we can find that the number of Japanese garrison in the entire Hetao is very small. Although the puppet Mongolian army is large in number, it also has a certain combat effectiveness, but they His will to fight is not firm, and his conflicts with the Japanese are not small."
Bart, who was attending the meeting, immediately added: "The contradiction between the puppet Mongolian army and the little devils is not small, but very big. Especially since the beginning of summer, the devils have imposed a lot of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Not only the ordinary herdsmen of the various alliance banners have not been able to Even the families of the puppet Mongolian soldiers were not spared. Suiyuan has already had many mutinies."
Bart is now a company-level cadre of the Chahar Independent Regiment.
After taking down the Ike Zhao League, Xu Rui reorganized the Chahar Independent Regiment in due course. The current Chahar Independent Regiment has two cavalry battalions. The first cavalry battalion has a company reorganized from the headquarters' special agent company. Bart's For the second company, the battalion commander is concurrently served by Leng Tiefeng. The structure of the seventh cavalry battalion remains unchanged, but the missing soldiers have been made up.
As for the Langya Brigade, it is still a brigade directly under the regiment headquarters.
Leng Tiefeng said in a deep voice: "Even so, it does not mean that we should continue to attack."
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng continued: "Yes, it is quite easy to take down the Yike Zhao League. At least it is much easier than we expected. It did not even go through a real battle. However, this does not mean that in attacking other countries, it is easy." The same can be said for the alliance flag, but once something goes wrong and a stalemate occurs, even the Yik Zhao League and even the Ok To flag may be repeated. At that time, not only the puppet Mongolian army may surrender and rebel again, but even Yu Jianlian…”
At this point, Leng Tiefeng suddenly stopped and did not continue.
But Cheng Luming, who was sitting next to Leng Tiefeng, had already guessed what Leng Tiefeng wanted to say. Leng Tiefeng said that once the situation was unfavorable, not only the forced landing of the puppet Mongolian army might revolt, but even the remaining soldiers of the 7th Cavalry Division New ideas will also arise, such as breaking away from the Eighth Route Army and returning to the Thirty-fifth Army.
But Cheng Luming did not refute Leng Tiefeng.
Because it is normal for Leng Tiefeng to have such worries, and he cannot dispel Leng Tiefeng's worries with words. After all, they have not known each other for a long time and are far from close friends. Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to let actions speak for themselves. , through a long period of fighting side by side, to tell the other party that the remnants of the 7th Cavalry Division are reliable.
The tent suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.
After a while, Xu Rui said again: "How do you know that the attack will not go smoothly? The victory of the Yikezhao League tells us that the emptiness in the Hetao area is beyond our imagination. As an alliance, the Yikezhao League only has one Japanese infantry squad stationed there. , let alone the flags under the alliance, how can a small group of our Langya team not be able to deal with a mere squad of Japanese soldiers plus a company of troops stationed in Mongolia?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "Let's do this, Lao Xu, if you really want to fight, I will lead a special operations squadron to defeat Dongsheng County first, and you will lead the other two special operations squadrons and the 7th Cavalry Battalion to sit in Yikezhao. League, with you personally in charge, even if my attack on Dongsheng County does not go well, the situation in the Yike Zhao League will not change much."
"You are wrong, veteran." Xu Rui rejected Leng Tiefeng's proposal bluntly.
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "The main reason why we were able to capture the Yike Zhao League so easily this time is that neither the Japanese nor the puppet Mongolian army expected that we had just captured the Okto flag. So soon they dared to attack the Yike Zhao League, which was heavily garrisoned by the puppet Mongolian army.
Precisely because the Japanese and the puppet Mongolian army were unprepared, we were able to succeed easily.
Because of this, we must take down as many flags as possible before the Japanese and puppet Mongolian troops are ready. It is best to take down all the flags in Hetao except the Hangjin flag! To achieve this, we must move quickly. If we attack Dongsheng County first and then attack the remaining flags as you said, then the day lily will be cold. "
