Jinzhou.
The New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Frontline General Headquarters.
With the end of the Jinzhou Campaign, the New Regiment and the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region rested here for a short period of time.
During this period, the people who were relocated returned to this area one after another.
When these common people learned that the Japanese from the three divisions had been eliminated, they couldn't help crying with joy.
All the young adults in this area want to join the Eighth Route Army.
However, this is not the time for the Eighth Route Army to recruit troops. These young and middle-aged men have been assigned to the logistics department to deal with the corpses of the Japanese.
When they arrived at the battlefield, the common people looked at the piles of Japanese corpses and were shocked and speechless.
It was the first time for almost all ordinary people to see this scene.
In addition to seeing piles of Japanese corpses, I also saw a cannon and tanks from the Eighth Route Army.
"The Jizhong Military Region suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and our new regiment suffered more than 1,000 casualties."
"annihilated the Japanese 11th Division, 40th Division, and 56th Division, killing 3 lieutenant generals and 2 major generals."
"More than 10,000 firearms were seized."
"More than 700 trucks."
“More than 3,400 mules and horses”
"More than 300 Japanese soldiers were captured."
"..."
In the headquarters.
Li Yunlong crossed his legs and listened to Zhao Gang's report on the results and losses. After reading them one by one, Captain Li looked extremely satisfied.
On the day of the general offensive, although the enemy engineering department of the new regiment did not shout to the Japanese.
But after an hour of shelling and aerial bombs clearing the ground, there was an iron rolling sweep.
Still hundreds of Japanese surrendered.
Without exception, these devils were stunned by the bombing.
Fear of the Eighth Route Army's firepower arose.
Here is the discipline of the Eighth Route Army. If a Japanese soldier throws away his gun and raises his hands to surrender on the battlefield, he cannot kill the prisoner.
However, in the New Regiment, it was impossible to receive preferential treatment for the Japanese who surrendered.
Even Japanese who surrender will be investigated.
Anyone who has harmed Chinese people or misappropriated their property will be shot in front of the people after a public trial.
It doesn’t matter the soldier’s rank or identity.
"More than 700 vehicles, more than 3,000 mules and horses, as well as captured weapons and ammunition, as well as various combat supplies, have all been handed over to the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region."
After finishing reading, Zhao Gang added another sentence.
After this battle, the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region made a huge fortune.
Li Yunlong said: "In addition to these weapons, ammunition and baggage, after this battle is over, we can send some cannons to the Central Hebei Military Region."
Nowadays, Li Yunlong is quite wealthy, and he is not stingy at all with his brother troops who cooperate with the new regiment.
If it were not for the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region fighting the Japanese in Jinzhou.
It is impossible for the new regiment to completely annihilate these three Japanese divisions.
Of course, the first contribution to this victory cannot be attributed to the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region.
After all, with the strength of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Military Region troops, it was impossible to kill the Japanese from these three divisions.
"I agree."
Zhao Gang nodded:
"After this battle, it can be seen that the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region are an invincible and invincible team. It is a pity that our Eighth Route Army does not have many Type 56 guns."
"If all the troops in the Central Hebei Military Region are equipped with Type 56 firearms, their combat effectiveness can be improved by at least two levels."
"Sooner or later," Li Yunlong said, "Sooner or later, the troops in central Hebei will be equipped with Type 56 firearms."
Of course, the reason why Li Yunlong is so generous.
On the other hand, it was also because District Chief Lu of the Central Hebei Military Region Headquarters personally promised to give Li Yunlong 50,000 high-quality militiamen after this battle.
The last 50,000 high-quality militiamen, after half a year of training, have become the main force of the new regiment.
Many of the troops joining the new regiment in this battle were former militia members of the Central Hebei Military Region.
"Lao Li, didn't you say that Boss Chen would come to our place today?"
Zhao Gang put away the documents, looked at Li Yunlong and asked:
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Li Yunlong took out his pocket watch, took a look at it, and said, "It should be soon, right?"
"What are you doing, Boss Chen?" Zhao Gang said with doubtful eyes, "Do we need to settle the weapons and ammunition for killing three divisions first?"
"Settlement is only one aspect." Li Yunlong said, "Boss Chen said there is new business."
"New business?" Zhao Gang's expression suddenly changed, with a look of expectation on his face.
At this moment, the communications staff officer, holding a telegram in his hand, walked in quickly, saluted with a military salute, and reported: "Report to the head of the regiment, political commissar, the telegram of the North Road Attack Group!"
"give it to me."
Zhao Gang took the telegram and read it.
The communications staff officer left quickly.
Soon, Zhao Gang finished reading the telegram. As he spoke, he handed the telegram in his hand to Li Yunlong:
"The Japanese battle plan has changed. The Japanese 1st, 26th, and 71st Divisions did not abandon Zhangjiakou and retreat to the mountains as expected."
"The main force of the Japanese troops from these three divisions retreated to Zhangjiakou City, preparing to engage in street fighting with our North Road Attack Group."
After hearing this, Li Yunlong took the telegram and read it. He thought for a moment and then couldn't help but feel slightly happy.
"When did that old devil Okamura Neji become so stupid?"
Apart from being happy, Li Yunlong also had a look of doubt on his face.
"What?" Zhao Gang looked confused.
Li Yunlong said: "In this battle, my tactic is to use a pincer offensive to attack Peiping. I don't believe Okamura Neji can't figure it out."
"The Japs in Zhangjiakou have placed their main forces in the city to fight street battles with our Eighth Route Army North Road Attack Group."
"Then, our Eighth Route Army North Attack Group can completely clear the Japanese positions outside the city."
"Then bypass Zhangjiakou and go straight to Peiping or Baoding."
When Zhao Gang heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face:
"In this way, our pincer offensive tactics have been completely formed."
"As for the three Japanese divisions in Zhangjiakou, they can wait until North China is recovered and then go back and take care of them slowly."
"The main force of the Japs in these three divisions is in Zhangjiakou. Even if there are Japs defending the mountainous terrain, there will definitely not be many."
"It is not difficult for the Eighth Route Army of the North Attack Group to break through the Japanese defense line with its tanks, heavy artillery, and air support."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Gang looked at the map again and continued to say with a smile:
"Once the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment are allowed to enter the North China Plain, the sea will be as wide as the fish can leap, and the sky is as high as the birds can fly."
"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded, thinking that Lao Zhao's reaction was quite fast.
soon.
The second telegram from the North Route Attack Group arrived.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie asked Li Yunlong for instructions.
Should Kong Jie be allowed to lead an independent regiment to surround the Japanese in Zhangjiakou?
To prevent the Japanese from attacking the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi.
A tactic used to prevent the Japanese from attacking Wei and rescuing Zhao.
However, it was denied by Li Yunlong.
