The night was very clean. Zhang Minghui hugged Chen Nuo who was tired from crying and fell asleep peacefully without disturbing Chen Nuo's rest. Zhang Minghui got up early the next day and helped Chen Nuo prepare food and face wash.

Nuo felt flattered and did not dare to blame Zhang Minghui anymore!

The fall of Dalian gave Zhang Minghui's troops no worries. The development of Mao'ershan Division can be said to be smooth. If they can defeat the little devils, they will have the potential to dominate the world. However, Zhang Minghui does not have such ambitions. Just because Zhang Minghui does not, it does not mean that others do not.

!

The gcd took advantage of the fact that the Japs were focusing on the Kuomintang and deployed heavy troops in the south. In addition, they had to prevent Zhang Minghui's sneak attack. The Eighth Route Army was thin and the Japs did not send heavy troops to defend. This gave the Eighth Route Army a chance!

The Eighth Route Army concentrated the troops of Yan'an Security Department and launched an attack on Yulin City and Luliang City. The little Japanese were unexpected and were captured before they had time to defend!

Peng Dehuai commanded a total of 105 regiments with more than 200,000 troops, including the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Jincha Military Region, to attack the North China region.

The Japanese and puppet troops launched an offensive campaign. This campaign involved more than 1,800 large and small battles, captured more than 2,900 strongholds, and annihilated more than 45,000 Japanese and puppet troops. It dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet troops and inspired the Chinese people's fighting spirit.

, which enhances the confidence to win.

Since this battle, the Japanese army has used railways and roads as pillars to carry out frequent raids on the anti-Japanese base areas, and attempted to cut off the links between Taihang, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and other strategic areas, and implemented the so-called "railways as pillars, roads as chains, and bunkers as locks"

"Cage Policy". The Eighth Route Army Headquarters decided to launch a traffic attack, focusing on the Zhengtai Railway and Tongpu Road.

The northern section dealt a powerful blow to the Japanese North China Front. Among the transportation lines in North China, the Zhengtai Railway occupies a very important position. It crosses the Taihang Mountains and is the link connecting the Pinghan and Tongpu railways. It is an important strategy for the Japanese army in North China.

One of the transportation lines. The Eighth Route Army's offensive campaign was first launched on the Zhengtai Railway, so it was called the Battle of Zhengtai Road.

Afterwards, the Eighth Route Army Commander-in-Chief Zhu De, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai, and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan issued the "Campaign Preparatory Order", stipulating that no less than 22 regiments of troops should be used to massively attack the Zhengtai Railway. At the same time, they required Tongpu, Pinghan, Jinpu, and

The Bac Ninh and De-Shi railways, as well as some major highway lines in North China, also deployed appropriate forces to carry out extensive attacks to cooperate with the attack on the Zhengtai Railway.

Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, and Zuo Quan issued the "Campaign Operation Order", which stipulated that: the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region attacked the Shijiazhuang to Yangquan (exclusive) section of the Zhengtai Railway; the 129th Division attacked the Yangquan (inclusive) to Yuci section of the Zhengtai Railway; the 120th Division

Destroy the Tongpu Railway and Fen (Yang) Li (Shi) Highway north of Xin County, and place heavy troops in the north and south areas of Yangqu to block the Japanese reinforcements from the Zhengtai Railway. Important points

Request all ministries to recover some strongholds occupied by the Japanese army while attacking the communication lines. In these areas and communication lines, all three Japanese divisions, two regiments of each of the two divisions, and five independent mixed units were stationed.

All brigades, 2 brigades each of 4 independent mixed brigades, 2 brigades of 1 cavalry brigade, totaling more than 200,000 people, 150 aircraft and about 150,000 puppet troops.

According to the original regulations of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the number of participating troops in the battle was no less than 22 regiments. However, after the campaign was launched, because the majority of commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army and the people in the anti-Japanese base areas hated the Japanese army's "cage policy", they were very motivated to participate in the breakthrough war, so various ministries invested

A large number of troops, plan

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has 39 regiments, 46 regiments of the 129th Division (including the 1st and 3rd Column of the Death Squadron, etc.), and 20 regiments of the 120th Division (including the 2nd and 4th Column of the Death Squadron, etc.), a total of 105 regiments.

More than 200,000 people, as well as many local guerrillas and militias, participated in the battle.

(In total, there may be more than 200 groups)

When Peng Dehuai and Zuo Quan listened to the battle report in the war room of the Eighth Route Army headquarters and learned that the actual number of troops participating in the battle reached 105 regiments, Zuo Quan said excitedly: "Okay! This is a battle of one hundred regiments." Peng Dehuai said: "It doesn't matter how many hundred there are.

Regiment, let’s just call this battle the Hundred Regiments Battle!” From this, the Battle of Shota developed into the Hundred Regiments Battle.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters mobilized more than a hundred regiments and launched a large-scale attack on the Japanese invaders on a front line of more than 2,000 kilometers in North China. They tore down the enemy's bunkers and strongholds close to the base area and blew up railways and bridges.

, highway, paralyzing the Japanese army's communication lines. This is the famous Hundred Regiments Battle.

Through this Hundred Regiment Battle, the scattered combat points of the Eighth Route Army were connected together. The troops moved from Yan'an to the northeast. The main force was divided into two locations. One was still in Yan'an, and the other had arrived at Zhangjiakou!

Knowing the movements of the gcd, Chiang Kai-shek was furious. He was fighting bloody battles in the front, but the gcd was messing around in the back. Their intention was too obvious, they just wanted to win over Zhang Minghui! Otherwise, how could the troops attack Zhangjiakou!

Sure enough, not long after, Xiaofan received the mission and came to Zhangjiakou. Zhang Minghui did not stop him, but Chen Nuo did not receive the mission this time. The organization knew the importance of Chen Nuo to Zhang Minghui, so Chen Nuo was not allowed to participate.

, and Zhang Minghui has been very happy recently, because the last time, when he took revenge on Jiu'er, he actually got Chen Nuo pregnant. Shortly after Jiu'er lost her child, Chen Nuo got pregnant again. This is definitely a good thing.

matter!

Just thinking about Chen Nuo being pregnant and not being pregnant for nearly ten months made Zhang Minghui's heart bleed. Although Jiu'er and Xiaoxiao were both there, he couldn't even mention that feeling!

Zhang Minghui has no big plans during this period. The troops who just captured Dalian still need time to digest. Dalian has been occupied by the Japs for too long. The problems left behind need time to digest!

Some time later, Xiaofan came back with a few people. Zhang Minghui recognized who it was from a distance. It was Mr. He from the Eighth Route Army whom he met when he went to Taiyuan to help Yan Xishan!

Zhang Minghui immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. He came to us personally. I feel sorry for you from afar, but I hope you can atone for your sins!"

Mr. He smiled: "When did you, Zhang Minghui, become so polite?"

"Mr. He, thank you very much. Please come in!"

Welcoming Mr. He into the house, Zhang Minghui probably knew Mr. He's purpose, and probably wanted to persuade him personally. Even if he was not convinced, he would definitely cooperate with him. Zhang Minghui wanted to keep himself clean, but Mr. He came to Jiamusi in person.

No matter how you explain yourself, Chiang Kai-shek won't listen. This is really putting you on the opposite side of Chiang Kai-shek!

At the banquet, Zhang Minghui asked: "I don't know if Mr. He came to Jiamusi in person. What is the important matter that requires you to come in person?"

Mr. He is frank and straightforward: "The thing is like this, the little devils have occupied Beiping and Chengde, and our army is currently stationed in Zhangjiakou, and they have the idea of ​​​​taking Beiping!"

Zhang Minghui immediately understood: "What does Mr. He mean by asking me to send troops to Chengde?"

Mr. He picked up the wine and toasted Zhang Minghui: "It's so refreshing to talk to a smart man like Commander Zhang! I don't know what Commander Zhang wants!"

Zhang Minghui drank the whole bowl of wine: "I, Zhang Minghui, don't have much idea. I just want to drive the little devils out of China as soon as possible. As long as I beat the little devils, of course I, Zhang Minghui, agree!"
Chapter completed!
