It was another late night, Terauchi Shouichi was once again called from the bed by Okabe Naosaburo, without exception, Okabe Naosaburo was slapped twice, but when Terauchi Shouichi saw the farewell telegram sent by Honkawa Province, he was stunned and completely shocked.
"Zhang Cheng! How dare he! How dare he! An earth-shattering roar erupted from Shouichi Terauchi's mouth.
The content of the telegram is really too creepy, after reading the telegram, Terauchi Shouichi has goosebumps all over his body, the Japanese Imperial Army launched the Battle of Taiyuan, and the Taiyuan City that was taken after a hard fight for more than a month was broken by the Eighth Route Army in just one night, and the 118 brigade defending the city was completely annihilated, and the brigade commander Honchuan Province was killed three times, and not a single Japanese soldier escaped.
When Gangbu Naosaburo first received the telegram, he couldn't believe that the Eighth Route Army had the audacity to break through the Taiyuan City guarded by the Japanese army. However, when he thought of the weak strength of the Japanese army in Taiyuan City, coupled with the fact that Zhang Cheng, the instructor and division commander of the Eighth Route Army, had always been lawless, and even the Fifth Division dared to make calculations, let alone break through Taiyuan City, Gangbu Naosaburo quickly accepted this reality.
However, if the news of the loss of Taiyuan is reported to the base camp, the commander of the front army, Terauchi Shouichi, will not be able to eat and walk around, and his chief of staff will probably not end well, and it is almost a certainty that he will be transferred to the reserve.
So Gangbu Naosaburo got straight to the point and said: "Your Excellency Commander, the news of the loss of Taiyuan must be blocked, and we must recapture Taiyuan as soon as possible before the base camp knows about it, otherwise our fate will be ......."
Gangbe Naosaburo didn't go any further, his meaning was already very clear, if Taiyuan could not be recaptured as soon as possible, the North China Front Army would have to take responsibility for the loss of Taiyuan, especially Terauchi Shouichi as the commander, taking responsibility meant that he would commit suicide.
"It's useless to conceal it, we can't go on like this, let's send a report to the base camp, inform the North China Front in detail of the difficulties, and ask the base camp to increase the North China Front.
I sent another report to General Ueda Kenkichi that our North China Front needs the support of the Kwantung Army, and it is best that Senior General Ueda Kenkichi can send troops to directly attack the Yulin base area of the Eighth Route Army.
In addition, after the Central China Front captured Nanjing, the capital of China, the 6th Division, the 16th Division, and the Kunisaki Detachment had to return to North China to fight, and the Kunisaki Detachment was originally subordinate to the 5th Division, and it was suggested that the base camp should be based on the Kunisaki Detachment and rebuild the 5th Division.
There is also an order with Kita Chengyi to go down, and order him to investigate the instructor of the Eighth Route Army with all his might, especially his division commander Zhang Cheng, I want to know everything about him, and if possible, take Zhang Cheng's head at all costs. ”
"Hay, let's do it." After Naosaburo Okabe heard Terauchi Shouichi's arrangement, he immediately knew that Terauchi Shouichi had leveled the Japanese base camp, and the base camp not only did not hold Terauchi Shouichi responsible, but gave him greater rights.
But it's not surprising if you think about it, Terauchi Shouichi was originally the son of the prime minister, and after the famous family, the influence of the Japanese Army is amazing, as long as Beiping, the base camp in North China, is not lost, no one should be able to take Terauchi Shouichi.
When the special operations brigade unknowingly took the Taiyuan railway station, the guns and cannons of the Eighth Route Army's instructor attacking Taiyuan gradually subsided.
In this battle, Zhang Cheng led more than 30,000 instructors to take Taiyuan with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, eliminated 3,825 Japanese troops, killed the brigade commander Benchuan Province, captured 3,000 Taiyuan security regiments, and only suffered more than 500 casualties.
With only more than 500 casualties, it was undoubtedly an unprecedentedly brilliant victory for the important town of Taiyuan, an important town in North China, and when the good news was sent back to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, everyone, including the commander-in-chief, cheered passionately and set up wine overnight to celebrate the great victory of the instructor.
After drinking two glasses of celebratory wine, the commander-in-chief, escorted by the guard troops, drove 20 miles to the Xinhua People's Radio Station on the outskirts of the city and personally reported this brilliant victory to the people of the whole country.
The Xiangyin of the commander-in-chief announcing the good news spread throughout the country through the radio waves, as if a thunder and lightning lit up the dark night sky, and the whole country suddenly boiled like a blazing fire.
Chang Kaishen, who had been disturbed by the news of the defeat of various armies and had lost sleep all night since the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, heard the news of the recovering of the famous city of Taiyuan, and was so excited that he picked up Mrs. Chang and turned around three times in a row, so frightened that Mrs. Chang screamed.
Subsequently, at the request of Chang Kaishen, the Kuomintang authorities mobilized all major newspapers and media overnight to vigorously publicize the wise command of the chairman, Wei Lihuang did not care about his own life, and after the three armies of the Kuomintang Central Army took their lives to attract the main force of the Japanese army out of Taiyuan, the instructors of the Eighth Route Army took advantage of it and conquered Taiyuan Yunyun in one fell swoop.
Then the major newspapers and periodicals multiplied the number of Japanese troops eliminated by ten times, saying that nearly 40,000 Japanese troops were wiped out in this battle, and focused on the role of the Central Army of the Kuomintang in restraining the main force of the Japanese army.
Not to mention the lively celebration of the whole country for the recovery of the famous city of Taiyuan, after the people of Taiyuan who had hid from the army and disaster all night last night, they boldly took to the streets the next day, but they were shocked to find that there were no more vicious Japanese patrols on the streets to bully men and women, but instead there were soldiers of the Eighth Route Army wearing gray military uniforms and speaking kindly.
Not only that, but the big trees and walls on both sides of the street were full of slogans such as "Long live the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Party!" "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "Unite and fight to the end!" The red slogan.
Through the answers of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who spoke kindly, the people of Taiyuan knew that the city had changed the banner of the king, and Taiyuan City had been recovered by the Eighth Route Army.
As soon as the news spread, the people of Taiyuan sang and danced to warmly celebrate the recovery of Taiyuan City, and some people who lost their relatives during the Japanese occupation even set up mourning halls on the streets to comfort their dead relatives.
On the other hand, the traitors and lackeys who took refuge in the Japanese army during the Japanese occupation suddenly sat on wax, and every household was like a mourner, and everyone was terrified, afraid that the Eighth Route Army would find them to pull a list and settle the general account, and they kept praying to God and Buddha at home, hoping that the Eighth Route Army would treat them as a fart and let them go.
However, the gods and Buddhas could not save them, and under the identification of the Taiyuan underground party organization, all those who were willing to be the lackeys of the Japanese army and traitors were all arrested and tried.
Among them, there are some dead ducks with hard mouths, and they say that they were instructed by Yan Laoxi to join the Japanese army as undercover agents, and they refused to admit that they were traitors and traitors.
But Guan Zhongxun, as the leader of the underground party organization in Taiyuan, was so easy to fool the past, and immediately pulled this group of traitors and traitors to the target.
These traitors and traitors finally showed their true colors before they died, cursing the Eighth Route Army for not dying well, and saying that the Japanese army would come back sooner or later to avenge them.
The law enforcement officers couldn't stand it anymore, so they smashed down with the butt of a gun to see who was spewing feces all over their mouths, knocked out the traitors and traitors with their gold teeth, and then took them to the execution ground and shot them out, so that these traitors and lackeys who acted for the tiger could get their due rewards.
