The Central Army really lived up to its reputation, at the beginning of the attack, the fierce artillery fire surprised Qiao Gongda, who had fought with the Central Army in the Red Army and anti-friction operations before, and did not feel how great the Central Army was at that time, but the weapons were better, each person could have a gun, the training was stronger than most local armed forces, the morale was also higher, and the organization was better, but they had never seen such fierce artillery fire, which had surpassed the Japanese artillery fire. \\、0m//

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" one after another shells exploded near the West Gate, without any scruples about the nearby houses, many buildings were shot, and the temporary barricades were quickly destroyed by artillery fire, and then the artillery fire began to move in the direction of the City Gate Tower, Qiao Gongda secretly scolded himself for being stupid, obviously the enemy had the idea of reconnaissance headquarters just now.

After Qiao Gongda yelled, he braved the artillery fire and ran out of the city gate tower, quickly ran to the city wall, and hid in the city gate hole, and many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hid inside the city gate hole, the city gate was wide open, and there were many soldiers outside the city gate, they stood there leisurely, watching the explosions in the city one after another.

As soon as the artillery bombardment ended, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had just run to the position, and the charging Central Army had already arrived, and the two sides immediately became a group, and the Central Army's Type 39 semi-automatic rifle was powerful, far surpassing the Type 38 and Hanyang in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and the 86th Army, which had been tempered by the Battle of Northern Hubei Province, did not look down on the Eighth Route Army with inferior equipment and backward tactics at all. The semi-automatic rifles quickly wiped out the Eighth Route Army, which was preparing for a white-knuckle battle, and then attacked in depth.

Qiao Gongda was shocked by the rapid loss of the forward position, and in the telescope, the Kuomintang soldiers formed a group of three or five people, and behind these groups there were some people with sniper rifles covering them; The groups cooperated with each other, either frontal assault, or flank attack, the Eighth Route Army.

The troops could not stop the attack of the 86th Army at all, the hastily constructed firepower points were overturned by bazookas, and the enemy rarely used the group charge tactics commonly used by the Eighth Route Army, and the lethal effect of the firepower points was very poor, and in many cases, it could only stop the enemy's offensive speed for a while. The enemy's infantry artillery is well coordinated, it doesn't look fast, but it's actually fast.

Qiao Gongda was a little anxious, and ordered the reserve to counterattack, the reserve was only half a company, less than 100 people, to rush over to fill this gap, and beat the momentum of the 86th Army. Qiao Gongda saw the young company commander whom he admired so much, and rushed forward with his troops.

The reserve fought back and finally contained the 86th Army, and Qiao Gongda took advantage of this respite to immediately command the whole army to withdraw from the city and move to the northwest.

After the 86th Army occupied the entire Taiyuan City, there was no pursuit, in fact, the troops arrived by the 86th Army were only one brigade, and the main force was still behind. After the 86th Army was transferred from northern Hubei to Zhongtiao Mountain, it was deployed on the front line of Qinshui in Yicheng, and after the Japanese army transferred Shanxi garrisons to reinforce the Shandong battlefield, the 86th Army and the Ninth Army Pei Changhui part of the two roads advanced to Jinzhong, the 86th Army captured Yicheng, and the Ninth Army occupied Qinshui.

Wei Lihuang originally planned to let the two armies attack Linfen together, but Yan Xishan saw Chiang Kai-shek's purpose and preemptively proposed to Chiang Kai-shek that Linfen be captured by the Jin Sui army, and Chiang Kai-shek agreed, but ordered Wei Lihuang to capture it. So Wei Lihuang sent two armies to the north, captured Fushan, bypassed Linfen from the east of Linfen, and captured Huozhou and Lingshi.

After occupying Lingshi, the 86th Army continued northward, while the 9th Army went northwest, crossed the Fen River, and attacked the Fenyang area. Just after Mo and Shuo captured Taikoo, he received a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek that the Japanese army was preparing to evacuate Taiyuan and must occupy Taiyuan before the Eighth Route Army.

From Zhongtiao Mountain to Taigu, the 86th Army fought from Jinnan to Jinzhong, but Mo and Shuo knew in their hearts that in fact, the 86th Army did not fight much at all, and after the Japanese army withdrew, all the cities left behind were defended by the puppet army.

The entire Shanxi squadron is counterattacking, and this is a feast, a feast for the Japanese army to give up its territory.

The Jin Sui army was attacking southern Jin, capturing Houma and Linfen, and the other was capturing Lishi and other places; The Eighth Route Army in Shanxi was divided into several parts.

The He L Department in the northwest of Jin Province is assembling near Datong, preparing to seize Datong and connect the three base areas of northwest Shanxi, northeast Jin, and Suinan; The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops were attacking the area north of Zhengtai Road, while Liu Bcheng's troops on Taihang Mountain concentrated their main forces near Changzhi and prepared to capture Changzhi and Jincheng; Ye Ting's division of the New Fourth Army concentrated its troops near Zhengtai Road, preparing to seize the vast area south of Zhengtai Road and east of Tailin Road. In addition, part of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army secretly drove to the west of Pinghan Road

But neither the Jin Sui Army nor the Eighth Route Army expected that the Japanese army would abandon Taiyuan so soon. The Eighth Route Army also had a misjudgment, thinking that the First Army would withdraw from Zhengtai Road, but did not expect that the main force of the First Army would withdraw from Shanxi through Datong.

The whole of Shanxi was in chaos, except for Taiyuan, where the two armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had a fierce exchange of fire, similar clashes occurred in various parts of Shanxi, and the reason was that they were all fighting for turf, and the two armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were fighting endlessly in Yudu, Xinkou, Yangquan, Daixian, and Fanzhi. The situation was quickly reported to Chongqing and Yan'an.

"Niang Xipi" Chiang Kai-shek threw the cup in his hand to the ground in a fit of rage: "We fought hard with the Japanese army in front, and they grabbed the territory in the back and told Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang to fight me."

"Chairman, you can't fight" Lin Wei and Chen Bui persuaded at the same time: "Now the strategic situation and political atmosphere are very favorable to us, GCD is hoping to muddy the water and create an incident, Chairman of the Committee, we can call Yan'an and ask them to explain." ”

"Okay, that's it, in addition, the new eleventh army is ordered to stay in place, and without an order, it is not allowed to attack without authorization. Ye Ting's division of the New Fourth Army immediately went to Changzhi to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops retreating from Jincheng, and ordered Liu Bcheng to block the retreating Japanese troops from Jincheng, and cooperate with Wei Lihuang and Ye Ting to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. ”

Chiang Kai-shek, in anger, issued an order to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Jincheng. This order flew to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain, and then to Yan'an.

"Chiang Kai-shek is planning again." mZD took the telegram and sneered and said: "Call back Peng Dhuai and ask Chiang Kai-shek for supplies." ”

With the withdrawal of the Japanese army, the Shanxi Eighth Route Army got a great opportunity for development, after the main force of the Japanese army withdrew to Datong, He L temporarily stopped the attack on Datong, Ye Ting led his troops to cut off Zhengtai Road, swept Jindong, and Liu Bocheng looked at the Shangdang area. In this great development, the two parties and the two armies clashed constantly, more than a dozen conflicts, the two sides won mixed victories, in the major city scramble, the Kuomintang won the victory, but in the small and medium-sized city scramble, most of the GCD won.

"By the time Chiang Kai-shek sent supplies, the Japanese army would have already run to Shijiazhuang." Zhu D said with a smile, Chiang Kai-shek's plan to kill people with a knife is too obvious, but it is also relatively stupid, and it is obvious that the Eighth Route Army will not carry out this order.

"Now the military situation is very favorable to us, if this guy can capture Shandong and annihilate Matsui Shigen, then there will be no big battles in Hebei. Chairman, I suggest that Ye T and Liu B take the main force to go to western Hebei, and the New Fourth Army assembles on the front line of Pingshan and Yi'an; The 89th Army assembled on the line from Wu'an to Shahe. ”

"Okay, but before that, the 89th Army must first seize Changzhi, and in addition, telegraph to He L that Datong must be taken and the three base areas of Northwest Jin, Northeast Jin, and Suinan will be connected." mZD's expression was much the same as that of Chiang Kai-shek, with three points of excitement and three points of contempt in his anger.

"We, the GCD people, insisted on the war of resistance behind the enemy line, pinned down a large number of Japanese troops, and the people in the base areas behind the enemy line paid a huge price, and they had the right to enjoy the happiness of victory, and told Peng Dhuai that they must resolutely fight back against any provocation by the Kuomintang troops, and fight for every inch of land, in addition, let Zhou EN come to negotiate the Taiyuan conflict with the Kuomintang."

mZD's tone was very stern and a little hurried: "Our strategic direction is to develop to the north, telegraph to Nie Rzhen, immediately assemble the main force, develop to the north of Suiyuan, the north of Chahar, send a powerful force to enter Rehe and eastern Hebei, enter the northeast, and open up an anti-Japanese base in the northeast." ”

After six years of war, the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang troops has been greatly improved, and the Taiyuan conflict, the 86th Army forced the Eighth Route Army out of Taiyuan City with a charge, although the Eighth Route Army in the city was not the main force at that time, but also after a long battle, it also proved that the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang troops has been greatly improved.

The GCD has not forgotten the Kuomintang's ten-year strangulation of them, and the War of Resistance is coming to an end, and after the War of Resistance is over, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the direction of domestic politics are all things that the mZD must consider.

"The main force of the New Fourth Army is not going east, but going north," mZD's tone was extremely resolute: "Appointed ** as the field commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, the Red First Army of the year was the strongest combat force of our Red Army, and now they can also turn Jin-Cha-Ji into our strongest-fighting base area." ”

"The strength of Jinchaji is relatively weak, is it from the New Fourth Army to transfer some troops to the north?" After cooperating with mZD for too long, Zhu D had already perceived mZD's intentions, but the equipment of the Jin-Cha-Ji troops was relatively poor, and the main equipment of He L's new 11th Army was obtained by Soviet Russia, and the equipment of the 89th Army and the New Fourth Army was made in Chongqing. In that year, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached an agreement to provide weapons and equipment to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and only a very small amount of these equipment was distributed to the Jin-Cha-Ji troops, so the equipment of the Jin-Cha-Ji troops was very poor among the Eighth Route Army.

"Not only will the New Fourth Army have to send at least one division to the north, but after the New 11th Army settles Datong, the main force will move eastward and northward, and we must open up contact with Mongolia." mZD said.

"Chairman, if that's the case, what about Jizhong and Southern Hebei? According to the agreement reached by Chen G and Zhuang Jihua, we will give up Jizhong. Zhu D frowned and asked.

"No," mZD said: "Jizhong not only can't give up, but also develop, let Ye T lead his troops north, let Xu X serve as the deputy commander of the New Fourth Army, and lead his troops into Jizhong." ”

Speaking of this, he looked up and asked Zhu D: "Chen G, Luo Rhuan, where have they got?" ”
