On Tongpu Road, after being besieged for a period of time, many puppet troops chose to lay down their weapons and surrender under the strong political offensive of the Eighth Route Army. More and more artillery towers and bunkers were breached, which exceeded Xiao Zhuoyi's expectations.

It did not consume too many troops and weapons.

After half a month of offensive operations, the 5 regiments of the 10th and 120th Divisions of the Eighth Route Army killed more than 2,000 Japs along Tongpu Road alone, annihilated and reorganized more than 5,000 puppet troops, and seized more than 3,000 firearms of various types.

(very), 28 guns of various kinds;

Destroyed more than 200 kilometers of railways, more than 500 kilometers of highways, more than 80 bridges, 17 railway stations, 5 tunnels, more than 30,000 rails, more than 303,000 sleepers, more than 35,000 telephone poles, and collected 10 telephone lines and wires.

More than 10,000 kilograms; 3 coal mines and 2 warehouses were damaged.

In addition, a large number of other military supplies were seized and destroyed. Due to the participation of Mulan cannons and flying thunder cannons, the tactics also adopted the method of key breakthroughs and segmented clearance;

The puppet troops in the encirclement were treated mainly with political offensives, supplemented by military offensives. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army did not consume many troops and weapons. The total casualties of the two divisions did not exceed 2,000, and the majority were lightly wounded.

, 537 people died, 286 were seriously injured, and more than 1,100 were slightly injured. The ammunition and materials consumed were far lower than those captured.

Thanks to the capture and reorganization of more than 3,000 puppet troops, the strength of the Eighth Route Army continued to increase, as did its supplies and ammunition, which became stronger with more fighting!

At the 129th Division Headquarters, when Commander Liu saw the battle report, he couldn't stop smiling and was in a good mood. Except for Hua Mulan, which consumed a lot of shells and could not be replenished by the division headquarters, the other troops were replenished after the capture. The 10 people who participated in the battle were

The regiment has grown a lot to varying degrees. He smiled and said to the political commissar:

"Thanks to Chu Xiong's suggestion this time, the troops went into battle in batches. Tactically, they adopted key breakthroughs and clearing out sections. One unit was used to guard the Japanese on the blockade. The main force went deep into the enemy-occupied areas to mobilize and arm the masses.

The enemy-occupied areas gradually turned into guerrilla areas and finally turned into base areas!

This is the actual fighting style of our Eighth Route Army. Not only does it not consume too much, it also strengthens itself to varying degrees. The 10 regiments we sent out almost disrupted the so-called security areas of the Japanese, or at least eliminated them.

No less than 2,000 Japanese!

The 2nd Company of the 28th Regiment outsmarted Fengshuping Town, annihilated a small group of Japanese defenders, captured and reorganized a company of puppet troops, and expanded their strength to nearly 300 people. Now they have penetrated into more than a dozen villages around Fengshuping Town.

, adopted Chu Xiong’s tactics in Liu Town, first occupying the vast villages;

Let’s leave Chu Xiong to teach company and platoon-level cadres, and the results have come out. There are hundreds of company commanders like Yan Song in ten regiments!”

The political commissar also took the words enthusiastically and said:

"Old man, that was your idea when you left Chu Xiong to be our instructor for a period of time. If every company and platoon leader we released could do what Chu Xiong did in Liuzhen, it would be incredible.

Otherwise, Xiao Zhuoyi-nan won’t have anywhere to cry for a year!

This time, not only Chu Xiong's tactical thinking played a huge role, but the Mulan cannon he supported also made a great contribution. Rockets consume a lot of copper and iron;

I saw that the wires we seized this time were copper wires. These should be urgently needed by the military factory in Chuxiong. They will be sent there together with the removed railroad tracks. If there are not enough people, we can organize the fellow villagers to go there!"

After listening to this, Mr. Liu nodded in agreement and said:

"Yes, we will continue like this in the future. We cannot always take advantage of Chuxiong. We will leave the attack on Tongpu Road to the besieging troops and slowly clear the final obstacles. Then we will launch the attack on Zhengtai Road as planned.

Breaking the attack, this is the key!

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area played the leading role. We continued to send 10 regiments to cooperate. We still followed the old rules and tactics. We ate one meal at a time and eliminated the Japanese one by one. We accumulated small victories into big victories;

In addition, the ten regiments serving as reserves are always ready to attack the Japanese heavy group..."

Eighth Route Army Headquarters

The first phase of the attack on Tongpu Road has come to an end, and the results of each department have been reported. The boss's hearty laughter has infected everyone in the headquarters.

"Boss, the 129th Division fought well this time. It basically paralyzed Tongpu Road and completed the combat tasks assigned to them by the headquarters beyond expectations. At present, the main force of their 10 regiments has got into the belly of the Japanese. Not only

After annihilating a large number of enemies and strengthening ourselves, it won't be long before the enemy-occupied areas will be full of flowers!"

"Deputy Assistant, why does this sound so familiar? It sounds like Chu Xiong's gangster style!"

"Boss, you don't know. Last time Chu Xiong went to the 129th Division, he was caught by Commander Liu. He set up a company and platoon-level backbone training class and asked Chu Xiong to be the instructor. He taught the Liuzhen model. It is said that there are many more in the future.

The battalion and regiment-level cadres have all gone to attend the lectures. Commander Liu sent away one Chuxiong and planned to let him train a hundred Chuxiongs!"

After hearing this, the boss laughed and cursed:

"Master Liu is a dragon who has crossed the river. When has he ever suffered a loss? Chu Xiong's clever ideas are still useful. This attack can achieve unexpected results, and Chu Xiong is indispensable!

In the next stage, the attack on Zhengtai Road will be carried out as planned. Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei will play the leading role. 129 and 120 will coordinate the attack. It should be carried out in stages. Zhengtai Road is too long and the total force used cannot exceed 20 regiments. According to Chu Xiong, it will be said to the outside world that they are the same army.

Batch troops!

There are 20 regiments and 100 battalions. I think this battle will be collectively called the Battle of the Hundred Battalions. This way someone in Shu will sleep better!

The 81st Division and Chu Xiong couldn't stand to watch such a grand event, so they each sent one unit to attack the Japanese in southeastern Shanxi, attacking in the east and west, and containing the Japanese forces.

Including the 81st Division and several regiments, we have exactly 100 battalions, so we will report it to Yanzhou! If we join the army in the future, we will not recognize it as a new army!"

Yanzhou, at the foot of Pagoda Mountain, by the Yanhe River

"Okay! Okay! This "Battle of Hundred Camps" is good after you use it! It's called Battle of Hundred Camps!

Even if more troops are invested in the future, it is still feasible. Nine hundred battalions are still a battle of one hundred battalions!

One hundred battalions, even if one battalion has the limit of 1,000 people, it is only 100,000 people, and it won't scare anyone so much that they can't sleep!

The boss is very pragmatic this time. I heard that this was the idea of ​​that brat in Chuxiong? He is really a brat. This is a clever move and very strategic."

After hearing this, Wu Hao couldn't help but smile and said:

"You really guessed it right. The boss specifically sought Chu Xiong's opinion for this battle, and carried out the battle in stages. Chu Xiong also proposed the tactics of rotating operations. Practice has proved that this is a good suggestion!

The fifteen regiments invested in the first stage of Tongpu Road, the consumption of soldiers and materials was within the controllable range, and the harvest far exceeded the consumption. After a big war, the combat effectiveness of the fifteen regiments invested in the early stage increased instead of falling, and is now at half the level.

In the state of rest and recuperation, even if the Japanese send heavy troops to retaliate, these fifteen regiments can wait for work and repel the heavy Japanese raids, allowing the Japanese to lose their wives and lose their troops!"
Chapter completed!
