Although the fighting along the Shanxi Zhengtai Railway has ended for the time being, the fighting in the direction of Baoding, Hebei continues.
After nearly a week of offensive, the national army on the eastern front finally eliminated the Japanese and puppet troops in all counties and districts around Baoding and completed the encirclement of the Baoding defenders.
On June 12, the thrilling Baoding offensive and defensive battle began.
At this time, under the city of Baoding, more than 20,000 main troops belonging to the East Route Army have surrounded the city. The Japanese 118th Division in the city is holding on to the city. The two sides launched a fierce battle under the city of Baoding.
Lieutenant General Uchida Ginnosuke, the new division commander of the Japanese 118th Division and commander of the Baoding garrison, is also considered a veteran in the army. He graduated from the 27th Infantry Division of the Army and entered the 34th Mainland University for further study. After graduation, he also taught everyone The headquarters served as the combat staff and was promoted from the commander of the independent mixed fifth brigade to the commander of the 118th Division.
Uchida¡¯s military career has been very smooth. Although it cannot be said to be a smooth career, he has not experienced too many setbacks, and he has not even had any major defeats.
And this also developed Uchida¡¯s arrogant and extremely cruel character. During his tenure in North China, he commanded the troops to raid everywhere and committed numerous murders. His hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people.
Even so, this person still has some tricks up his sleeve.
No matter how Yunhu's troops attacked, the 118th Division just hunkered down in the city and did not go out to fight. More than 10,000 troops guarded the well-defended Baoding City and faced off against the troops on the eastern front of the Ninth Army.
At the same time, in order to prevent the artillery of the Ninth Army from attacking the city, Uchida Ginnosuke drove a large number of Chinese people in Baoding City to the top of the city and tied them up row by row with wires. This was shameless and cruel.
Before the battle started, Uchida Ginnosuke and Okamura Neiji exchanged telegrams. Okamura Neiji told him that the only thing they could do now was to delay for as long as they could.
Okamura Neiji has ordered the 114th Division, which has withdrawn to the direction of Shimen, to go north. When reinforcements arrive, the danger of Baoding will be resolved.
It is precisely because of this that Uchida Ginnosuke came up with such a dirty trick.
So the battle to siege Baoding City started on June 5, but after a full week, the battle still did not make decisive progress, which made Yun Hu, the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, very anxious.
Seeing that Baoding could not be captured for a long time, Yunhu then made a bold decision. He only left a small number of troops outside Baoding City, pretending to be the main force of the eastern front troops, while the real main force was to march westward and penetrate directly. Rongcheng, Dingxing, and Yixian counties east of Baoding.
When more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Ninth Army appeared in Rongcheng County, the Japanese troops in the Pingjin area were completely panicked.
You must know how close Yixian County is to the Pingjin area. Once the main force of the national army really decides to march towards the Pingjin area, the consequences will be disastrous.
More importantly, at Yunhu¡¯s request, Li Guoyao ordered the Zhangjiakou front-line troops to go south to Xuanhua, approaching the Xiahuayuan area, and set up a north-south pincer attack on the Japanese troops in Pingjin.
When the news came, Okamura Neji was shocked and had to shrink his troops again to prevent being taken advantage of by the national army.
Subsequently, the Japanese intelligence department detected that there were less than 5,000 Nationalist troops left outside Baoding City, and the main force had all moved eastward.
After realizing that Li Guoyao's troops had played another trick of building a plank road in secret to infiltrate Chen Cang, Okamura Neiji immediately ordered the Baoding garrison to immediately launch an all-out counterattack against the national army outside Baoding City, and at the same time ordered the first part of the Tianjin garrison to dispatch troops. City, and the Baoding garrison attacked Li Guoyao's troops.
After the Japanese counterattack started, it was almost as expected. The Chinese troops outside the city were really vulnerable. They kept retreating under the attack of the 118th Division, and were finally driven out of Baoding City. They were completely defeated. The look of collapse.
Uchida Ginnosuke was overjoyed and immediately ordered his troops to pursue him immediately.
As a result, most of the main force of the Japanese 118th Division was transferred out of Baoding City, leaving less than 2,000 people in the city to maintain order.
However, just three hours after the Japanese army left the city to pursue the Chinese army, a main force of more than 10,000 Chinese soldiers suddenly approached the city from the south of Baoding City and launched a full-scale attack on Baoding City.
At the same time, a puppet army in the urban area of ??Baoding suddenly mutinied, attacked the Japanese garrison at the south gate of Baoding, opened the city gate, and let in the Chinese troops.
Baoding City, which had been holding on for a week, was captured in a strange atmosphere.
When Baoding City was breached, Uchida Ginnosuke was on the phone with the North China Front Army Headquarters in the headquarters. He didn¡¯t quite believe it when he learned that the city gate had been breached and the main force of the national army had entered the city.
However, Okamura Neji on the other end of the phone understood very well and knew that this time it must beHaving fallen into the trap of the Chinese army to divert the tiger away from the mountain, he immediately ordered Uchida Ginnosuke not to hesitate, and immediately led the headquarters to withdraw from Baoding City and join the main force.
Although Uchida Ginnosuke felt extremely unwilling, he also knew that with his current situation, it was simply impossible to hold on to Baoding City.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off.
¡°Subsequently, Uchida Ginnosuke immediately ordered the guards to set a fire at the garrison headquarters, and then escaped from the east gate of Baoding.
The capture of Baoding was definitely a major victory for the Chinese army on the battlefield in Hebei. After all, this is the provincial capital of Hebei. Although its status is not comparable to that of Peking and Tianjin, it is not comparable to that of ordinary cities.
Therefore, when the news reached Datong, Li Guoyao was overjoyed and immediately sent a commendation telegram to the troops on the eastern front. At the same time, he ordered them to shrink their troops and stick to Baoding to prevent the main force of the Japanese army from counterattacking Baoding.
At this time, the North China Front Army was in a very bad situation. In the Hebei battlefield, they lost many counties and districts north of Baoding. After conquering Zhangjiakou, the forces of the Ninth Army once again penetrated deep into the hinterland of Hebei Province.
"The situation on the battlefield in Shanxi is even worse. The overall situation has taken a turn for the worse!"
Beginning on June 10, the World War II zone dormant in southwestern Shanxi continuously dispatched three armies and five infantry divisions with nearly 150,000 troops to launch attacks on the Japanese troops in the hinterland of Shanxi from Luliang and Linfen.
At the same time, the troops from the 1st Theater Zone, which had been beaten some time ago and could not find their way north, also joined the battle group. Nearly 100,000 troops launched a counterattack against the main force of the 12th Army near Luoyang, and advanced towards the hinterland of Henan, with the intention of regaining Henan. Posture.
In addition to these two armies, the various departments of the Eighth Route Army were not far behind. Under the dispatch of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, 2 brigades and 7 columns of the 129th Division made a big splash in the southeast of Shanxi. The main force of the 120th Division was even more generous, with 100,000 troops counterattacking in the northwest of Shanxi. The Japanese and puppet troops on this front line were completely surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and suffered extremely heavy losses. It was a foregone conclusion that northwest Shanxi would be completely lost.
For a time, the whole of Shanxi was reduced to a pot of porridge. There were gunshots and fighting everywhere. It was so lively.
At this time, North China was like a big stage. The Ninth Army was setting up the stage, and the First and Second World War Zones and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters were on stage to sing. Almost everyone could see that at this time, the Japanese army had been beaten from head to tail by the National Army. If you can't take care of each other, you are like a drowned dog.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
" But if this mad dog is sick, then everyone has nothing to worry about. If they don't take action, it may not be their turn.
So at this time, the Japanese army felt that they were surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the situation was very bleak.
Especially for the First Army stationed in Shanxi, the situation is even more worrying.
At its peak, the First Army had 4 field divisions, 4 mixed brigades, and multiple security forces. Counting military police and special agents, the total strength exceeded 100,000.
In addition, the number of puppet troops under the control of the First Army was also astonishing, at least 30,000 at its peak.
The total number of these troops is at least 130,000. Looking at the Shanxi battlefield, they are absolutely arrogant and unstoppable.
However, at the moment, the Taiyuan garrison has been completely wiped out, and other troops have suffered heavy losses in the directions of Yuanping and Xinkou. In addition, the main force of the legion has also suffered heavy losses in the Henan battlefield, so that there are not many troops that Yoshimoto Sadai can command. To 15,000 people, it was only one-eighth of the peak number.
More importantly, this small number of troops is still surrounded by Li Guoyao's headquarters, the World War II zone and the Eighth Route Army. The situation is very bad.
