Today, it is said that the double is asking for a guaranteed monthly pass.

After defeating the 2nd Division and the 35th Division, Liu Yimin immediately ordered the engineer regiment to quickly build a bridge over the Yellow River to ensure that the main force could quickly cross the river.

After receiving the order, Ren Chaoran and Li Zengyu immediately started to act, first hoisting out the three pontoon bridges sunk in the water with a winch, and then starting to build boat bridges.

During the day, the devil plane had blown up the two fixed pontoon bridges originally built by the Sixth Brigade Engineer Battalion. No one can say if anything will happen this night, what if the devil warship comes to sabotage? The water of the Yellow River is not very deep, and large warships will definitely not be able to pass, but small warships such as gunboats, motorboats, motorboats, etc., will definitely be able to come. When the time comes, the little devil will come with a few shots, not only will there be casualties, but they may even blow up the bridge. Therefore, after receiving the order, Ren Chaoran's first reaction was to report to the division headquarters, asking the artillery brigade to cross the river first, at least one artillery regiment first, and establish an artillery position at the ferry on the opposite bank to cover the crossing of the river.

Naturally, this request was immediately approved, and the mountain artillery regiment, which could be disassembled and transported by pack horses, first withdrew from its position, quickly dismantled the artillery, and rushed to the Yellow River with the infantry regiment of the artillery brigade, preparing to cross the river first and establish an artillery position.

There was practical experience in building boat bridges, and the speed at which the sappers rebuilt the bridges was still very fast. Ren Chaoran saw that there was enough time, and in order to ensure the speed of the troops crossing the river, he used the hidden wooden boats, pulled up the steel cables, connected them with wooden planks, and erected two more pontoon bridges.

After more than three hours, the boat bridge and the newly built pontoon bridge were basically completed. The mountain artillery regiment had also successfully crossed the river and began to set up artillery positions, busy calculating distances and setting up artillery bombardments.

At this time, Ren Chaoran and Li Zengyu breathed a sigh of relief, separated several engineer battalions, crossed the river, and left on the west bank, preparing to quickly dismantle the boat bridge and pontoon bridge after the main force crossed the river.

The night is the world of the Eighth Route Army, especially the night when the battle is a big victory, and the hearts of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are beaming.

Ren Chaoran ordered the cooking squads of the battalions and companies of the Engineer Regiment early to set up dozens of stoves on the side of the road outside Xiaoying Town in Boxing County on the east bank of the Yellow River, set up a large cauldron, and prepare dinner for the troops. In the past few days, the main force has been hidden around Binxian County, and no fireworks can be moved, and the soldiers are eating dry food. Now that the battle has been won, the soldiers can eat hot rice and drink mung bean herbal tea.

As soon as the engineer regiment built a stove, the villagers in the town all knew that the Eighth Route Army had won a big victory, and the large army was about to be divided. So, without organizing, every family began to be busy with life and cooking. As a result, the news spread so fast that even the "Yihe Class" and "Qinghe Class" of the Lv Opera troupes performing in the Boxing and Huantai areas knew about it, and they got into a carriage and rushed to Xiaoying Town, preparing to set up a stage here to sing operas and express their condolences to the soldiers who had won the battle.

Before the main force of the instructor retreated, the martyrs were buried in Binxian County.

Although this battle was a big victory, the army was not muddy, and the casualties of the instructor were still very large in Liu Yimin's eyes.

The heaviest casualties were carried out by the cavalry brigade tasked with luring and blocking the enemy on the northern front. They basically suffered no casualties when they eliminated the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the Kwantung Army, but when they blocked the 2nd Division, they fought hard. Because the firepower of the Second Division is strong, and it is a motorized division, it has a fast response speed, and it is often that as soon as the blockade on this side starts, the tanks and armored vehicles of the devils over there catch up, and they cannot be withdrawn. Although the cavalry brigade adopted the tactics of resisting and leaving as soon as it was struck, it still sacrificed more than 200 soldiers and wounded many more. If Liu Yimin hadn't ordered the blockade to stop in time, the casualties would have been even greater.

After this blockade, the sacrifice and serious wounding were equivalent to the loss of a cavalry battalion of the cavalry brigade. And that's not counting the minor wounded. Those are all cavalry that have been tested by war for a long time, and the distressed Hu Laohu burst into tears. However, this blocking battle made Hu Laohu more sober, when the cavalry met the mechanized troops of the army, it was necessary to be careful, careful and careful, those steel monsters were really not easy to mess with. Hu Laohu was frightened when he thought about it later, but fortunately he withdrew in time, and the Second Division was again subjected to heavy shelling by the artillery brigade artillery group and was routed. If it weren't for the powerful artillery, if the cavalry brigade was stuck by the 2nd Division, it would probably be devoured by the steel monster of the 2nd Division.

When Hu Laohu reported to Liu Yimin, Liu Yimin's face was ugly. Because these cavalrymen are all baby bumps, they are all trained elite soldiers. If the Second Division had not been encountered, there would definitely not have been such a large casualty against the other units of the Chinese army, because they were fighting a series of blockades and harassments, not a decisive blockade in the position. It seems that the use of cavalry in the future depends on the object, and if you encounter motorized units such as the Guards Division, the Second Division, and the Fifth Division, you must use cavalry carefully. But then again, the cavalry is mobile and strong, and it runs fast, and the losses are smaller, and if it is replaced by infantry, the losses will be even greater, because the infantry will most likely be surrounded, and not a single one of them will be able to escape. It seems that if there is no artillery group to support it, the instructor's brigades will still have a lot of trouble if they encounter the motorized division of the Japanese army and the chariot division that may appear in the future.

Liu Yimin told Hu Laohu that the army had only three motorized divisions, namely the Guards Division, the Second Division, and the Fifth Division, and that a chariot division might be formed in the future. When encountering these troops, the cavalry brigade must fight and withdraw quickly, and resolutely must not be stuck by the enemy. Turning back, the cavalry brigade must be equipped with a combat anti-aircraft artillery company or an anti-aircraft artillery company to deal with tanks, armored vehicles, and cars of devils from a long distance.

Other casualties were inflicted mainly during the siege of the remnants of the 10th Division. There is no way, the 10th Division is a permanent division, the quality of the soldiers is high, and they will not surrender to death, and those who can survive to the end are veteran oils, with accurate marksmanship, which has caused a lot of casualties to the Eighth Route Army. At the end of the battle, the old battalion and the first company, which had never suffered casualties since its establishment, sacrificed five soldiers because the company commander Zhang Guangming wanted to capture Kei Seya. After Liu Yimin found out, he was so angry that he called Zhang Guangming to teach him a hard lesson, telling him that since he was the commander of the sharp knife company, the company had never suffered such a loss, and asked Zhang Guangming if his brain was in water? Did you think of becoming a regimental commander in a local unit? Is the water too shallow to hold the dragon of Zhang Dachang? The bear had to open his head and droop straight down tears.

In the end, Liu Yimin told Zhang Guangming again and asked Zhang Guangming to be responsible for conveying to the company commanders and platoon commanders of each brigade that it was not uncommon for instructors to capture any prisoners of the army, let alone any major generals, lieutenant generals, and generals of the army. These guys are too troublesome, and after being captured, they will attract the frenzied pursuit and retaliation of the Yue army, and it will be cleaner and neater if they are shot with one shot, and the trouble is small.

Zhang Guangming really opened his mind, thinking that the major general of the Yue Army was different from ordinary prisoners, and the capture would make the Yue Army a great shame, and the prestige of the Eighth Route Army would be greatly displayed, and the division commander would definitely exchange these guys for money and ammunition, but he didn't expect that the division commander didn't like to ask for the prisoners of the Yue Army in his heart, as long as they lived! After completely understanding it, Zhang Guangming stopped crying, and hurriedly ran to convey the instructions of the division commander to his comrades after saluting.

The smoke had not yet completely dissipated, and the moon and stars watched through the clouds and smoke as they watched the solemn and holy ceremony of the Teacher's burial of the martyrs.

The graves had already been dug up, and the martyrs were lying on wooden planks with white cloth covering their faces.

The war was tense and it was too late to prepare the coffin. Originally, Liu Yimin wanted to bring the remains of the martyrs back to Luzhong and rush to make a coffin for burial. However, after the army attacked on a large scale and the troops returned to Luzhong, it was not clear whether the devil's army would directly chase after them, but it was certain that the next vicious battles would be fought one after another, and it was difficult to say whether they would have time to make coffins.

Luo Ronghuan knew Liu Yimin's thoughts, so he comforted him and said: "Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why bother to return the body of the horse leather?" At the time of the Great War, the situation changed rapidly. For the time being, the martyrs were buried first, and when the devils were swept away, they were reburied in coffins. ”

Only then did Liu Yimin agree to be buried on the spot.

Liu Yimin walked past the wooden planks, lifted the white cloth on the martyrs, and carefully examined each face. After reading it, he stood next to the remains of the martyrs and addressed the troops attending the funeral: "Today, we have achieved brilliant results in destroying the 10th Division and defeating the 2nd Division and the 35th Division!" This achievement is inspiring and will surely leave a strong mark in the history of the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression! However, in today's battle, we have sacrificed so many comrades-in-arms who get along day and night, and I, like my comrades, have a heavy heart. What I want to tell the comrades is that this time Xiao Yueben has devoted all the strength of the country to deal with our Eighth Route Army, gathered the strength of 32 divisions and regiments, four reading force mixed brigades, and also transferred a large number of puppet troops, with a total strength of more than 700,000 troops. The next battle will be even more brutal, and there will be sacrifices among us. However, we are dying for the resistance, dying for the country and the nation, dying greatly, dying glorious, heavier than Mount Tai! A martyr fell, and thousands of warriors stood up! We, the Eighth Route Army, will certainly be able to unite and lead the army and people in the base areas to defeat the encirclement and suppression of the devil's heavy troops, and in the future we will also achieve a comprehensive victory in the Chinese people's war of resistance against Yue, so that Xiaoyuben will surrender unconditionally! Comrades, do you have confidence! ”

The soldiers thundered: "Yes! ”

Cai Zhong took advantage of the situation and led the fighters to chant the slogan "Fight to this imperialism!" Give me back the rivers and mountains! ”

After shouting the slogan, Liu Yimin ordered a burial. After the burial, the gun salute was carried out again.

After the burial ceremony, Liu Yimin ordered Cai Zhong to command the troops to move quickly and cross the river overnight to return to Luzhong.

After arranging all this, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan called Fu Zhuting, the political commissar of the Sixth Brigade to stay in Hebei and Shandong to persist in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and the cadres of the 18th Regiment, the New Sixth Regiment, and the Second Reading Regiment, and Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng to make specific arrangements for the struggle behind enemy lines in Hebei and Shandong.

Originally, Liu Yimin arranged at the operational meeting to let the Jilu Border Military Region leave a regiment to persist in the struggle behind enemy lines, but after listening to the suggestions of Zhu Quanle and Zheng Yao, he thought about keeping a powerful assault force on the Jilu Border, preparing to launch an attack on Cangxian County after the enemy pursued Shandong, and even went north to the Pingjin area to attract the main force of the devils to come back for reinforcements. But after thinking about it, I feel that it is not appropriate for the time being, because the main force of the devil is likely to rush to the Jilu side immediately, maybe at this time, the main force of the army is rushing here in the starry night! At this time, if one or two brigades are left on the Jilu border, no matter what method is found, they will not be able to hide, and if they don't do well, they will die in vain. After thinking about it, Liu Yimin decided to leave three regiments behind, and with special operations troops, to carry out tunnel warfare and mine warfare on the Jilu border to contain the devils.

Among these cadres, only Di Yudong and Liu Yimin, the political commissars of the Second Regiment of Reading Force, were not familiar with them, so Liu Yimin first shook hands with Di Yudong and said hello, and then beckoned the cadres to sit down, and then began to say: "The war is urgent, and today it is said that the enemy's 10th Division has been annihilated, and the 2nd Division and the 35th Division have been defeated. Ming said, the army will definitely mobilize a large army to rush to the Jilu border to find the main force of our army for a decisive battle. Although it is summer now, the Jilu border is already bitterly cold. ”

Fu Zhuting immediately stood up and saluted, and reported: "Please rest assured, division commander, we will definitely stick to the Jilu border, carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and wait for the main force to counterattack." ”

Liu Yimin beckoned, motioned for Fu Zhuting to sit down, and then said: "This Jilubian is a good place, rich in wheat, corn, cotton, and salt, all of which are strategic materials that our army is determined to obtain. The Hebei and Shandong borders also hold the main transportation route from Pingjin to Shandong, and the strategic position is important, and the enemy and us are bound to win. Holding here, you can threaten Pingjin to the north, open up the connection with Jizhong to the west, and threaten Jinan to the south. This place can't be lost! ”

Fu Zhuting was about to stand up and salute again, Liu Yimin waved him to sit down, took out a cigarette, asked each cadre to light it, and lit one himself, Meimei took two puffs, and then said: "There is another point, the mass foundation in Jilubian is good." After several months of struggle, we have established a grass-roots political power in the Jilu border, with cadres at the county, district, and village levels, and armed forces at the county brigade, district squad, and militia, and tunnels in some counties have begun to take shape. The common people trusted and supported the Eighth Route Army. This is the most fundamental reason why I want you to stay on the Jilu border and persist in the struggle behind enemy lines. [***] has long said that we [***] people are like seeds, which means that we can survive no matter how difficult the circumstances. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yimin stood up and paced around the room. It took him to stand for a long time, and he continued to take a cigarette and said: "You stay in Jilubian, there are three endings, one is to stand, develop, and grow. One is that he couldn't stand and was beaten away. There is also a kind of extermination. I firmly believe that it is the first one. At present, it is imperative to do three things well. The first is to hide yourself, that is, to hide, to hide in the rear of the enemy, to hide in the tunnel, you can also disguise the army, the puppet army, in short, so that the little devils can not find you, think that our army has all left the Jilu border, let their main force leave the Jilu border as soon as possible. Second, it is necessary to quickly contact the armed forces of all counties, districts, and villages to unite our army's forces along the Jilu border and let them know that our army still has a strong main force on the Jilu border. At the same time, we must tell them about our tactics for the struggle against the enemy, and ask them to immediately go behind enemy lines, go underground, and save themselves. I heard that Okamura Ninji proposed not to burn, kill, or rob on the Jilu border, but this is all deceitful nonsense. However, this shows a problem, that is, the top level of the Chinese army has begun to pay attention to the construction of the rear and has begun to compete with us for the hearts and minds of the people. Next, they will establish a puppet regime, Han annihilation of the armed forces, and attempt to occupy the Hebei and Lubian areas for a long time. We must not allow them to succeed. However, we have to pay attention to the art of struggle, for example, if the devil wants to set up a maintenance association, we can let our backbone masses participate in the maintenance meeting of the devil, which is called white skin and red heart, which can not only protect the masses, but also cover the cadres and troops, and fool themselves. Our comrades participate in and organize maintenance meetings, which is not called surrendering to the enemy, not Han annihilation, but fighting wits and courage with the puppet army. Third, it is necessary to resolutely crack down on the Han annihilation, and resolutely eliminate those lackeys of the Han annihilation who have taken refuge in him, and will not tolerate them. As long as you do these three things well, you will be able to tide over the difficulties in front of you in Jilu. ”

The commander of the 18th Regiment, Nan Hongjun, stood up and reported: "Report to the division commander, can we take the initiative to attack and beat the devils, so that they can't pursue the main force with all their might?" ”

Liu Yimin shook his head and said, "Don't provoke the devil for the time being, hide yourself first." After the devil's heavy army group is gone, this Jilu border will be your battlefield. However, it is necessary to target the attack on the puppet army, and don't provoke the devils first. I can tell you that this little devil is very ambitious, and they still want to fight Wuhan and Guangzhou! Their main force will not stop for long in North China, and if you don't provoke him, they will think that the situation has been calmed down and the Eighth Route Army has been driven away, and they will rest assured that they will send troops to fight elsewhere. As soon as you hit him, he won't leave here. After the devil's attack group is transferred away one after another, it will be our world, and we can fight any devil we want, and we can even capture Tianjin again, so that the little devil can cry and call his mother! ”

The cadres laughed at this.

Liu Yimin also said: "Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng are responsible for transferring a team from the special operations brigade and the sniper brigade, each under the command of Fu Zhuting, and there are two tasks, one is to cooperate with the operation, and the other is to protect Fu Zhuting's safety. Lao Fu, from today onwards, you will be the supreme person in charge of the Hebei-Shandong border area, you must be decisive in case of trouble, you should fight, you should withdraw, and you must not be sticky. If you are surrounded by devils, one is to use tunnel warfare to fight with devils, and the other is to rush out decisively. There are special operations teams and sniper squads, as well as the 18th Regiment and the New Sixth Regiment, and the little devils can't trap you. Of course, one thing has to be remembered, after the main force is gone, your radio station should not be turned on casually, the little devils can detect the radio signal, they will bomb at any time, and they will also pursue you according to the radio signal. When the devil's army withdraws, it doesn't matter. ”

Fu Zhuting was moved, stood up and said thank you to the division commander and political commissar.

At this time, after all the things that should be said have been said, Liu Yimin asked Fu Zhuting to go to the baggage regiment to receive more ammunition, medicine, and food, and to consider it as meticulously as possible, such as mines and explosives packages, to prepare more, and to ease the situation a little in the future, and to make mines and explosives by himself in the Jilu border.

Luo Ronghuan told Fu Zhuting that he must pay attention to the ideological education of the troops and ensure that he will not be dragged down or defeated.

After sending Fu Zhuting and the others away, Luo Ronghuan handed over to the deputy director of the General Staff Office who accompanied him, sorted out Liu Yimin's conversation as soon as possible, and sent it to all base areas overnight, and at the same time to central and southern Hebei for their reference.

Dear book friends, tomorrow is the last day of the National Day holiday, and if you have a guaranteed monthly ticket, you can vote for it, and the mountain people are looking forward to it! Thank you!
