At three o'clock in the afternoon of 19 April, the mixed brigade of the Chinese garrison in Fengwen took advantage of the fact that Yang Chengwu's new regiment did not encircle the county seat of Zhangbei and fled and retreated to Zhangjiakou. At around 5 p.m., the new regiment was stationed in Zhangbei County.

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the 39th Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division of the Yue Army withdrew south, Shen Yuquan led his troops to pursue, and Major General Yoshito Takagi paid heavy casualties and retreated to the same area of Yanggao. At 10 o'clock in the morning of the 20th, the brigade headquarters of the 39th Brigade was stationed in Datong, and the new 2nd Regiment took the opportunity to reoccupy Tianzhen County.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 19th, Gu Shoufu's department withdrew to Zhuozishan County. Han Yunhua led his troops to follow closely and stationed troops ten miles east of Zhuozishan County. At eight o'clock in the morning of the 20th, Gu Shoufu led his troops to withdraw in the direction of Guisui, and was ambushed by the main force of the Saibei Army Division on the way to retreat. At six o'clock in the afternoon of the 20th, under the rescue of the enemy army in Guisui City, Gu Shoufu's unit finally returned to Guisui City, and the first battalion of the New Third Regiment occupied Zhuozishan County, so that the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign of the Inner Mongolia Military Region was completely over.

Although the battle was over, the aftermath of the battle had just begun to spread, and the withdrawal of the Chinese army aroused great concern from all sides, and the highest authorities in Wuhan, the Yan'an General Staff, the Military and Political Department, the Second Theater Commander's Department, and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters successively called to inquire about the results of the battle.

At 4 p.m. on 22 April, the Inner Mongolia Military Region held an operational summing up meeting at the Jining Former Army Garrison Headquarters, which was attended by the commanders and political commissars of all military subdivisions and the commanders and political commissars of all regiments.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very lively, and the regimental military and political chiefs were chatting enthusiastically. Not to mention that the vast majority of the military and political officers of the Inner Mongolia Military Region are young cadres promoted from the front line, and the average age is very young.

Han Yunhua and Shen Yuquan followed into the conference room and sat down next to each other.

Han Yunhua stood up and said: "Comrades, after more than eight days of hard fighting, we have repelled the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, and while defending the base area, we have also achieved major results. After speaking, he took the lead and clapped his hands.

All the senior officers in the conference room applauded, and for a while, the applause in the small conference room was thunderous.

Then Han Yunhua said: "Let Political Commissar Shen summarize the battle of this battle for everyone." ”

Shen Yuquan said loudly: "In this battle, the North China Front Army dispatched more than 23,000 elite troops and more than 16,000 puppet troops, accompanied by aircraft, heavy artillery and a large number of combat vehicles, to launch a comprehensive attack on the Daqingshan base area of our Inner Mongolia Military Region. In order to repel the enemy's attack, the military region concentrated 21 regular regiments, four reading battalions, and four special operations squadrons of about 56,000 regular troops, and at the same time 12 county brigades, 47 district squadrons, and a large number of militiamen, and we invested more than 70,000 people in a radius of several thousand square kilometers. In this campaign, we recovered the important military town of Jining, occupied the three county towns of Zhuozishan, Zhangbei, and Tianzhen, annihilated more than 23,000 puppet troops, completely annihilated their Datong Front Army, and killed Major General Kuroda Shigetoku, commander of the 26th Brigade of the 26th Division. Among them, more than 9,000 people were killed and more than 4,000 were wounded. More than 4,000 puppet soldiers were killed and more than 6,000 were captured. At the same time, 6,543 Type 38 rifles, 6,574 medium and formal rifles, 345 light and heavy machine guns, 45 mortar grenadiers, 16 field heavy artillery, 2.67 million rounds of various bullets, more than 10,000 shells, all medicines and medical facilities in a field hospital, 3,786 war horses, and a number of food and property were seized. At the same time, we also rescued 13,672 prisoners of war from the Kuomintang troops and various units of our Eighth Route Army, and rescued a large number of revolutionary fighters who were persecuted and imprisoned in Datong City by devils, including Major General Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Kuomintang Jizhong Guerrilla Corps, and other senior cadres. We have also rescued nearly 30,000 Chinese laborers in the mines outside Datong, a large number of whom are soldiers captured by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in various battlefields, and now these people have safely arrived at the base areas. This was the result of our campaign, which was even better than the achievements of the Kuomintang in the Taierzhuang Campaign, and dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Kou. Before Shen Yuquan's words were finished, warm applause rang out in the conference room.

Shen Yuquan paused and continued: "Comrades, the results are brilliant, and the achievements are obvious to all. However, our casualties were also heavy, and our Inner Mongolia Military Region suffered more than 16,000 casualties, of which 3,412 were killed, 1,212 were seriously wounded, and 13,245 were lightly wounded. The casualty rate has reached 30 per cent, and the vast majority of these casualties are in our regular corps. The ratio of casualties to friend and foe is about 1.5:1, and our army has an absolute advantage. At the same time, the base areas were also greatly damaged, with 43 villages bombed by devil planes, and although the casualties were not large, they caused incalculable losses to the economy of the base areas. In addition, our losses in weapons and equipment were also very serious, and after this battle, we had a total of 264 light and heavy machine guns, 4,231 rifles, and 59 artillery pieces of various kinds that were blown up or damaged by our own use. ”

After Shen Yuquan sat down, Han Yunhua stood up again and said, "Comrades, the loss of weapons and equipment is not the most serious problem, the weapons we have captured are far more than our losses. What worries me the most is the loss of our ammunition, which we have consumed more than 11 million rounds of ammunition and more than 42,000 shells, and basically wiped out all the money we had accumulated before. I went back to the arsenal on Daqingshan yesterday to take a look and found that there were only more than 4 million rounds of ammunition left in the entire arsenal, and in addition to the more than 2 million rounds we captured this time, it was only more than 6 million rounds, and you must know that our military region now has more than 40,000 rifles and more than 2,800 light and heavy machine guns, that is to say, in addition to the existing stocks of your regiments, the average ammunition of rifles, carbines, and light and heavy machine guns in the military region is less than 150 rounds per gun. The military district can no longer afford to fight such a big war. Summing up the above data, we can say that we have won a pyrrhic victory, although we have achieved a brilliant victory militarily, but economically we are in trouble. Therefore, our next combat task is how to make up for our losses and how to replenish our ammunition. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be a little sluggish, Han Yunhua paused and continued: "Don't think too much, everyone, the losses and consumption are a bit bigger, but our Inner Mongolia Military Region has this ability and devils to fight." Victory is victory, there is no other reason, the devil was wiped out by us more than 20,000 people, we defended our base area, and protected the people behind us, no matter how big the loss is, the big consumption is worth it. Now I'm going to talk about the next battle plan, and everyone should listen carefully. ”

The military and political cadres in the conference room eased their nerves, and Han Yunhua continued: "The task of the Saibei Military Subdivision remains unchanged, it is still to infiltrate the Guisui and Baotou lines that are heavily defended by the Yue Army, and expand the territory and influence of the military subdivision. The losses of the 99th Regiment were particularly serious this time, and the six battalions were basically killed and wounded, so they were transferred back to the military region for rest and recuperation, and the personnel, weapons and equipment were replenished on a priority basis. One part of the new regiment stayed in Zhangbei County to monitor the army in Zhangjiakou, and the other part was led by the regiment commander or political commissar to attack the front line of Kangbao. The New Second Regiment and the First Artillery Regiment were transferred to Tianzhen County to be stationed in Tianzhen County to monitor the Japanese army in the direction of Datong and Yangyuan, and at the same time to infiltrate the surrounding cities and counties. The New Third Regiment, the First Cavalry Regiment, and the Second Cavalry Regiment formed a northward detachment, with Ye Baoguo as the detachment leader, to attack the grassland area in the north of Suiyuan, opening up a new situation in the grassland area. The New Fourth Regiment and the Third Cavalry Regiment were responsible for the defense of the Central Banner, the Rear Banner, the Shangdu, and the Huade front, and should vigorously support the development of local armed forces in the localities, requiring that after the regular troops leave, these areas should still have sufficient defensive forces. The New Fifth Regiment was stationed in Zhuozishan County, responsible for monitoring the Yue army in Guisui City, and to take full control of Zhuozishan County. The New Sixth Regiment and the Fourth Cavalry Regiment were stationed in Jining City, and the military region headquarters was divided into two, and the political commissar remained in Jining to preside over the regular work of the military region. I took the 99th Regiment and the 6th Cavalry Regiment back to Daqingshan to form a new unit. The guard regiment defended Fengzhen County, mainly responsible for defending the army in the direction of Datong, and it was necessary to vigorously develop the troops. The 7th Cavalry Regiment attacked Liangcheng, and the 8th Cavalry Regiment attacked Qingshuihe County, and your two regiments should open up a safe passage between us and the 120th Division. The 9th Cavalry Regiment and the 10th Cavalry Regiment infiltrated the Huai'an and Zhangjiakou areas. Director Yang Ruihua is responsible for coordinating the production and construction work of various counties, and is responsible for setting up the military industry's military departments, such as the clothing factory and the bullet reloading factory, and at the same time, it is necessary to improve or reorganize the local political power in the counties under the jurisdiction of the military region. The Intelligence Department was upgraded to the Ministry of Intelligence, with Qian Zhuangfei as the director, responsible for the defense of the base areas, counter-espionage, and all external intelligence work. ”

After the long task arrangement was finished, Han Yunhua felt a little tired and panicked, and turned to Shen Yuquan and asked, "Old Shen, do you think about anything that is lacking or unexpected, remind me?" ”

Shen Yuquan thought for a while and said: "From the end of the battle to the present, the Yan'an side and the head of the headquarters have repeatedly asked us to report the results of this battle, and even the highest authorities in Wuhan and the headquarters of the Second War Zone have asked us many times about the details of this battle. But we were all busy counting the spoils and treating the wounded, and we had been dismissed by dealing with the aftermath of the war, so I thought it was time to report the victory to the chiefs. ”

Han Yunhua patted his head and said depressedly: "How can I forget this, Lao Shen, you will report to Yan'an and the headquarters in the name of the military region now." As for Lao Jiang and Yan Laoxi, let the headquarters watch and deal with it, and if you can, let Lao Jiang or Yan Laoxi replenish some bullets and shells. ”

After the meeting was dismissed, Han Yunhua returned to Daqingshan with two special operations squadrons, Cheetah and Eagle.
