    In addition, the Japanese army also left a large number of corpses on the roads along the way.

    Some of these people were killed by the sniper squadron, and some were killed by the cavalry of the cavalry regiment.  Many others were killed by ambush troops along the way.

    But the Japanese Fifth Division had no intention of entangled with them and just retreated to the north desperately.  By the afternoon, they basically jumped out of the encirclement set by Xia Yang and headed towards the Guangling County area.

    They retreated desperately. Although they retained a lot of effective strength, they also lost more than one-third of their troops.

    For an army, it has basically lost the ability to continue fighting on the battlefield.  On the day he arrived in Guangling County, the commander of the Fifth Division, Seishiro Itagaki, directly made a request to Yoshio Shinozuka, asking him to go to the Hebei area to replenish the army.

    But when Shinozuka Yoshio learned that Itagaki Seishiro had retreated from Yimaling and returned to Guangling County, he immediately became furious and even threatened to take Itagaki Seishiro to a military court.

    The cleaning of the Japanese corpses and the statistics of the seized materials and equipment continued until the afternoon of the second day after the retreat of the Japanese Fifth Division, and it was considered over.

    Although this battle did not wipe out the entire fifth division of the Japanese army here, it can definitely be regarded as a great victory.

    All the heavy weapons of the Japanese Fifth Division, as well as other baggage and supplies, as well as a large number of trucks, were abandoned along the way.

    Because the retreat was too urgent and Xia Yang's troops pursued them fiercely, they didn't even have time to destroy the trucks and supplies, so they handed over a large amount of military supplies to Xia Yang and the pursuing Eighth Route Army.

    In the Battle of Yimaling, the total losses of the Japanese Fifth Division totaled more than 10,000 people.  A large amount of material equipment and supplies were also lost.

    Xia Yang and the others spent two days just cleaning and transporting the weapons and equipment, as well as a large amount of luggage.  After that, except for some of the equipment and supplies that were left to the Eighth Route Army, the rest were all transported to Lingqiu County.

    Lingqiu County has many material warehouses previously established by the Japanese army, which can be used to store these captured materials and weapons.

    At this point, the Japanese counterattack against Laiyuan County has completely failed.  Not only did he fail, he even lost the Lingqiu County seat along with him.

    For the Japanese army, such losses are obviously not acceptable to them.

    Especially now that Yoshio Shinozuka has suffered consecutive defeats, even the military town of Datong in northern Shanxi has begun to be threatened by the mechanized troops of the Kagel Combat Division.

    In Ulanqab in the north, the Kagel Combat Division has established a firm foothold.

    They built a dense defense line around them, and in the past few weeks, they also recruited a lot of local soldiers.

    Using a large amount of equipment seized from the Japanese army, they successfully armed five militia regiments, which were used to replenish soldiers and mobilize during wartime.

    After capturing Ulanqab, Liu Fudong and the others began to march towards Datong according to Xia Yang's order.

    In Fengzhen City, north of Datong, the Japanese Eighth Division has completed its defense here.  Their mission is simple, that is to resist the enemy's attack on Datong.

    If Fengzhen City is captured, Datong will be completely exposed to the spearhead of the Kagel Combat Division.  Once Datong is captured, the Japanese will no longer be in control of the entire northwest Shanxi region.

    After capturing Ulanqab, Liu Fudong pretended to attack Zhangjiakou to the east of Ulanqab and let his troops carry out repeated activities there.  This attracted the Japanese troops in North China and prevented them from easily supporting the Japanese troops in northwestern Shanxi.

    At the same time, the main force's four tank regiments, four motorized infantry regiments, three infantry regiments, two howitzer regiments, and three cavalry regiments, as well as three automobile regiments and two artillery regiments, have all completed their operations in Fengzhen.  Gathering outside the city.

    The number of troops attacking Fengzhen this time reached a full 40,000.  Their attack goal is very clear, which is to attack Fengzhen City and then take Datong directly!

    In Wangzhuangbao Town, the Japanese 114th Division also had two independent mixed brigades with reinforcements. The attack on Wangzhuangbao Town has lasted for nearly a week.

    But until the Fifth Division in the Yimaling area retreated, they were unable to attack Wangzhuangbao Town.

    In Xiaozhong, DatongThe man also realized that since the Fifth Division had retreated, their attack in Wangzhuangbao Town was meaningless.

    He directly ordered Caochang Chenji to lead the remaining troops back to Hunyuan County and build a large number of defense lines outside Hunyuan County.

    In addition, Caochang Tatsuki was asked to dispatch a brigade of troops to reinforce the Japanese Eighth Division stationed in Fengzhen City.  Because Shinozuka Yoshio has vaguely felt that the threat from the enemy forces outside Fengzhen City may be more powerful than that in Lingqiu County.

    It was already October, and in Lingqiu County, a new howitzer regiment formed by Xia Yang had been announced.

    In fact, a long time ago, Xia Yang had already planned to establish a howitzer regiment to fight in the Taibai Mountain area.

    But because they have been active in the Taibai Mountain and Wutai Mountain areas for a long time, these large-caliber howitzers need to be transported by trucks and cannot be maneuvered in the mountains.  All we can do is put off this matter again and again.

    Now Xia Yang has basically controlled Laiyuan County and Lingqiu County, occupied the surrounding roads, and also seized a large number of military trucks left by the Japanese Fifth Division.

    This allowed his plan to establish a howitzer regiment to be finally implemented.

    Because of their experience in establishing a howitzer regiment in the Kagar area, after selecting commanders and screening artillerymen, Xia Yang and the others had already prepared the howitzer regiment with preliminary operational capabilities in just a few days.  ability.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
