Chapter 1010: Who among the decent people would fight with the Japanese in the streets?
Chapter 1010: Who is a decent person who fights with the devils in the streets?
Northern Shaanxi.
Qiulin Town.
Second Theater Command Chief's Department.
Commander Yan Xishan had just finished washing his feet and was leaning back on the chair, feeling very depressed.
When he thought about Taiyuan and Shanxi, the areas he had managed for decades, being occupied by the Eighth Route Army, he felt so angry that his chest hurt.
Yan Xishan was not so heartbroken when the Japanese army occupied most of Shanxi.
Because Yan Xishan knew very well that Taiyuan and Shanxi were occupied by the Japanese, and he still had a day to take them back.
Because the vast majority of people in Shanxi will never be of the same mind as the Japanese.
But the Eighth Route Army is different. Wherever the Eighth Route Army goes, the people there will follow the Eighth Route Army wholeheartedly.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup the Eighth Route Army poured into the people?
Even if you die, you must follow the Eighth Route Army.
Even Chu Yunfei, his beloved general whom he always valued highly as his adopted son, betrayed him and joined the Communist Party.
Thinking of this, Yan Xishan sighed.
He was already extremely sensitive and suspicious, and now he looked at everyone as if they were going to betray him.
In order to prevent the Shanxi-Sui Army troops from being harmed by the Eighth Route Army, Yan Xishan has now withdrawn the main force from Luliang Mountain to Shaanxi.
At this moment, Adjutant Yang Aiyuan, wearing a crisp dark gray military uniform, walked in quickly with a folder in his hand.
"Commander, just now at the Eighth Route Army headquarters, another coded telegram was invented."
Yang Aiyuan bent slightly and respectfully reported to Yan Xishan.
"What did the Eighth Route Army headquarters say?"
Yan Xishan opened his eyes and asked with a change of expression.
"The New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region annihilated the Japanese 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division in the Jinzhou area, killing the commander of the 11th Division, Lieutenant General Takamori Takamori, and the commander of the 40th Division.
Lieutenant General Seiichi Aoki, Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe, commander of the 56th Division, and two major generals who killed the 11th Division."
While Yang Aiyuan reported, he handed the telegram in his hand to Yan Xishan.
The telegrams that killed three Japanese lieutenant generals and two Japanese major generals were provided by Boss Chen.
After Li Yunlong received the information, he immediately forwarded it to the headquarters.
After receiving Li Yunlong's telegram, the headquarters immediately drafted and sent a clear telegram to the whole country.
Yan Xishan suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this: "What are you talking about? Annihilating 3 Japanese divisions? Killing 3 division commanders and 2 brigade commanders? How many days has it been since the Eighth Route Army's offensive?"
After finishing speaking, Yan Xishan took the telegram and read it.
"Commander, the Eighth Route Army's offensive has just begun, less than five days ago..."
The adjutant and commander of the 6th Group Army, Yang Aiyuan, had a look and tone of amazement at this time.
He had naturally experienced the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.
After reading the telegram, Yan Xishan was also shocked and speechless.
The strength and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army have become stronger again.
"How does the strength of our Jinsui Army compare to the strength of these three Japanese divisions?" Yan Xishan asked with worried eyes.
Yang Aiyuan thought for a moment and then answered truthfully: "The Japanese army has two B divisions and one A division. These three divisions are the elite front-line troops of the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. Although our Shanxi-Sui army is not weak either.
But in a head-on confrontation, our Jinsui Army should not be able to defeat these three Japanese divisions."
Although the Jinsui Army has been reorganized and has 14 divisions, including two cavalry divisions.
According to the establishment, the entire Jinsui Army should have a main force of 140,000 troops.
But Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan know the situation of their own troops better than anyone else.
There are also troops in the Jinsui Army that can fight, but most of them have problems such as being underpaid.
In addition, the American equipment and food promised to him by Chiang Kai-shek were never in place.
Coupled with the fact that several main regiments such as the 358th Regiment defected to the Communist Party, the current combat effectiveness of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army can only be described as fair or not.
"So...if there is a conflict between our Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army, it will take less than three days for the Eighth Route Army to destroy us?"
Yan Xishan's expression became increasingly gloomy.
"almost…"
Yang Aiyuan sounded helpless:
"Commander, according to the information from our intelligence personnel lurking at Taiyuan Station, the current Eighth Route Army is very powerful. It is said that it has more than 1,000 heavy artillery, 500 tanks, and a main force of 1 million people."
Yan Xishan's pupils shrank: "1,000 heavy artillery pieces, 500 tanks?"
"Yes." Yang Aiyuan continued, "It is said that the Eighth Route Army has recently established an aviation school, with about 500 trainer aircraft, fighters, reconnaissance aircraft, bombers and transport aircraft."
Upon hearing this weapon and equipment data, Yan Xishan was immediately jealous.
If these weapons and equipment are given to me, Yan Laoxi, everyone in North China will have the surname Yan from now on.
No wonder Chu Yunfei wanted to join the Communist Party. Even Yan Xishan felt a throb in his heart and had the urge to join the Communist Party.
But in an instant, this idea was killed by Yan Xishan.
He, Yan Xishan, has no intention of joining the Eighth Route Army. Once he joins the Eighth Route Army, he will have to hand over all the troops, weapons and equipment in his hands, as well as the wealth accumulated over the years and the wealth and wealth he has harvested.
"Commander, with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, it shouldn't be difficult to drive away the Japanese and regain North China."
"It is even possible to recover Northeast China, Central China and South China occupied by the Japanese army."
Yang Aiyuan pointed at the map and said.
"That group of people fought really hard. At the beginning, the Central Army and various local troops and hundreds of thousands of troops were chasing and intercepting them, but they failed to eliminate them. Now they have become a climate."
Yan Xishan nodded, and he also affirmed the Eighth Route Army's combat capabilities:
"Now that the Eighth Route Army has received significant assistance, its strength has grown so fast that it is simply chilling. Even the fierce Japanese army is no match for it."
"Once the Japanese are driven away, the Eighth Route Army will probably conquer the world."
"Commander, what will our Jinsui Army do then?" Yang Aiyuan said with worry in his eyes.
"Now, we can only take one step at a time." Yan Xishan shook his head, and then snorted coldly, "The chairman of the committee in Shancheng should be more anxious than us, fearing that he will scold Xipi again."
…
It was just as Yan Xishan expected.
After reading the clear coded telegram from the Eighth Route Army, Principal Chang from Shancheng did not see the expected scene in which both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army would suffer losses.
So, Principal Chang lost his temper again and cursed Niang Xipi.
He also wrote in his diary that the Japanese troops were all pigs, that the Japanese troops were all shit and vulnerable.
The Eighth Route Army did not follow orders to attack the Japanese troops in central China in order to defeat the superiors.
The next day, "Xinhua Daily" published a report about the Eighth Route Army's complete annihilation of three Japanese divisions and the killing of five Japanese generals.
For a while.
The people in the mountain city took to the streets one after another and set off firecrackers to celebrate, which was more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Some high-quality young people are looking for channels to go to Yan'an and Shanxi to join the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army has won another wave of popular support.
Principal Chang ordered the National Army's "Central Daily News" to also reprint the relevant report, saying that the victory of the Eighth Route Army was achieved under the wise command of Principal Chang.
Some people who don't know the truth still believe it to be true.
Principal Chang gave himself a perfect score for this micro-operation.
When fighting against the Eighth Route Army, the reputation belongs to the National Army.
The only thing that makes Principal Chang unhappy and even a little scared is that the Eighth Route Army's ranks are getting stronger and stronger as they fight. If the current situation continues, the Eighth Route Army will be able to finish all the battles with the Japanese.
After the Japanese army is defeated, there will be a battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
However, Principal Chang did not sit still and kept asking his beautiful father for help.
Prepare for the civil war after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
…
Northern Henan.
New Regiment Independent Brigade Headquarters.
"Captain, our scouts have dispersed. As long as Sun Liangcheng and his puppet troops enter northern Henan, we will receive news immediately."
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong reported to Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei, who was wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, had a smile on his face.
The main force of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the main force of the Jizhong Military Region destroyed the main force of the Japanese army in three divisions on the Jinzhou battlefield.
The Independent Brigade had received it yesterday, and Chu Yunfei was so happy that he didn't sleep for half the night.
"To give full play to our advantages, in addition to sending out scouts, we must also mobilize ordinary people, militiamen and guerrillas to keep an eye on them all, whether they are big roads or small roads."
"This is the first combat mission given to our independent brigade by the regiment headquarters."
"We must complete it to the letter."
Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes and spoke harshly.
Like Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei hated traitors who betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy the most, and he was punished by everyone who found them.
"yes!"
Fang Ligong straightened up.
"Also, Captain, the Gaocun Airport has been completed and will be put into use in a few days."
After a pause, Fang Ligong reported again.
Gaocun Airport is an airport just built by the Independent Brigade of the New Regiment.
After the Independence Brigade established a foothold in northern Henan, Li Yunlong issued an order to build Gaocun Airport.
The airport was managed by engineers sent by the New Regiment. Boss Chen's transport plane dropped cement and other supplies, and the independent brigade recruited workers nearby.
It took more than half a month to repair the airport, which can accommodate 70 aircraft and can be expanded in the future.
The independent brigade is currently operating in the Hebi area. Next, Chu Yunfei is preparing to develop into the central area of Henan Province to regain lost ground and squeeze the living space of the Central Army.
"oh?"
Chu Yunfei's eyes lit up slightly:
"Immediately send the completion status of the airport to the regiment headquarters and request food supplies. In addition, we can announce the news to the people in Henan Province that our Eighth Route Army has food and can come to northern Henan to ensure that they will not starve."
Chu Yunfei had been looking forward to rescuing the victims for a long time.
This is a great undertaking worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple and becoming famous in history.
but.
The independent brigade of the new regiment is not the main force in relieving the victims of the disaster in Henan Province.
After all, the independent brigade of the new regiment had just been established not long ago, with a total strength of only more than 10,000 people, and there were too many victims to handle the task.
It happened that the 129th Division was also developing southward, and the headquarters gave the main task of relieving the victims of the disaster in Henan Province to the 129th Division.
Li Yunlong led the troops to regain the lost territory to earn food, weapons and ammunition, and Commander Liu led the 129th Division to develop southward.
The 129th Division rescued the victims while blocking the Japanese troops in central China from moving north.
Political Commissar Qin on the side looked expectantly.
The Eighth Route Army has no shortage of food.
When this winter passes, the entire Henan Province will basically be the territory of the Eighth Route Army.
People's hearts and minds are the most important and rarest thing.
Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
When the tide recedes, the common people will finally know which army to follow to have a future.
…
Zuowei Town.
North Road Attack Group Headquarters.
"As expected of Li Yunlong, he killed three Japanese divisions in one move."
Kong Jie, the deputy commander of the North Road Attack Group, read the clear telegram from the headquarters with an expression of satisfaction on his face.
"In this battle, the New Regiment and the Jizhong Army killed 60,000 Japanese in total. We have to work hard."
After a pause, Kong Jie looked at the commander-in-chief Ding Wei and said.
The senior officers of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment on the side also had excited expressions.
"You think I don't want to?"
Ding Wei glanced at Kong Jie angrily and said:
"This old Japs, Sanfu Zhongze, was so frightened by our Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi and Datong that he didn't dare to come out at all. What can we do to annihilate these three Japs divisions?"
"That's true."
Kong Jie nodded:
"The Japanese are just like turtles with their heads down."
The offensive of the North Road Attack Group went very smoothly, and the forward troops were only a few kilometers away from the city wall of Zhangjiakou.
But compared with the South Road Attack Group's complete annihilation of three Japanese divisions, the gap is visible to the naked eye.
"Aren't the Japanese going to start a street fight with us in Zhangjiakou?"
Kong Jie narrowed his eyes slightly.
Currently defending Zhangjiakou are the Japanese 1st Division, 26th Division and 71st Division, with a total strength of approximately 40,000 people.
In the past few days of attacks, thousands of Japs have been killed, and the total strength of the Japs now is about 40,000.
If the troops from both sides fought in the streets of Zhangjiakou, the Eighth Route Army would probably suffer about 40,000 casualties.
Both the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment suffered more than half of their casualties. Neither Ding Wei nor Kong Jie could afford this loss.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Don't tell me, it's really possible."
Ding Wei nodded and said:
"If the Japanese start a street fight with us in Zhangjiakou, then we will bypass Zhangjiakou and go straight to Peiping and Baoding!"
Kong Jie's eyes lit up: "Old Ding, this is a good idea. Let's go directly to pick the heads in Gangcun!"
In a field battle in the wild, with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, even in an offensive battle, the casualty ratio between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army can easily be 1:5, or even 1:10.
But in street fighting, the damage ratio between the two sides was close to 1:1.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie are not stupid.
Who of the decent people would fight with the Japanese in the streets?
The reason why the New Regiment and the Jizhong Eighth Route Army could not bypass Baoding and attack Peiping was mainly because they were afraid that the Japanese would cut off logistical supplies, and because the Japanese had so many troops that they would probably launch an attack from behind the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
The North Road Attack Group firstly faced not many Japanese, and secondly, after arriving in the North China Plain, it could quickly join up with the main force of the new group without having to worry about logistical supplies.
If the Japs in Zhangjiakou dare to go out of the city and stab the Northern Attack Group of the Eighth Route Army in the chrysanthemum.
Ding Wei's mouth was almost crooked in a smile.
"Have there been any Japanese guerrillas attacking our supply lines recently?"
Ding Wei looked at Kong Jie and asked.
Kong Jie said: "There are very few of them anymore. This time the Japanese guerrillas are a bit interesting. Not only are they dressed and equipped with weapons and equipment imitated by our guerrillas, but they also imitate us in contacting the common people. The common people in many villages have been deceived."
"
The logistics supply of the North Route Attack Group mainly comes from railways.
The Eighth Route Army was extremely well prepared for this battle, and even the troops that cooperated in the battle fought a rich battle.
In order to attack the logistics supplies of the Eighth Route Army on Pingsui Road.
Yamamoto formed 25 Japanese guerrilla groups, mixed into the vast mountains, imitated the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, and waited for opportunities to destroy railways and ambush military columns.
In the beginning, the Japanese guerrillas did succeed several times.
But when playing guerrillas, the Japs have to call the Eighth Route Army "Grandpa".
What's more, the troops responsible for protecting Pingsui Road this time are the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei First-Level Military Region.
Within a few days, the Japanese guerrillas were decimated one after another.
