South of Zhuolu County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

About 40,000 or 50,000 people walked the road with difficulty. These people were all ordinary people who fled behind the Japanese army, most of them were Japanese, and a few were traitors. Many people got separated halfway through, and those who arrived here walked fast.

I heard that there was a fight in the south, and I saw the bombing of planes and the air battle of planes in the distance, and I knew that I could not go south by seeing the constant sound of guns and cannons in the distance.

Shouts came from the east and west sides, and soon, many people rushed over from both sides, I don't know how many. These people are all ordinary people, and there are also soldiers in the township, but because they have families, no one wants to shoot. Soon, people from both sides surrounded the Japanese people.

Some of these people are soldiers, some are guerrillas, and they are all shouting that they will not be killed.

March 16, 1944. Evening, Beiping, Cuimingzhuang.

It has been several days since the headquarters settled here, and the commanders have directed the campaign to annihilate the Japanese here.

In the Cuimingzhuang headquarters, the telephone shouts and the radio ticking sounded, and several commanders had nothing to command now, and they were all anxiously waiting for the results. Although this is not the first time that you have commanded a large-scale campaign to annihilate the Japanese army, everyone is still very nervous.

Only Xiaolu relaxed, sitting at a table to approve documents, a pile of approvals, a pile of pending approval, only a few copies. Several secretaries came in and out, circling him.

At half past five in the evening, a telegram finally came from the front, and it was a telegram of victory.

There was a thunderous roar of joy in the headquarters.

Yang Jingyu said: "Don't be busy and happy, quickly mark it on the map, and verify the results with various troops." See if anyone escapes. ”

At six o'clock, the whole battle situation came out, the Japanese army totaled 70,000, on the flat land in the south of Zhuolu County, the planes bombed and annihilated more than 10,000 enemies by rocket bombardment, and most of the remaining 50,000 people were annihilated in the ambush battle in the valley. Presumably the command of the enemy. There was also a group of devils who went north and returned to the county seat of Zhuolu County.

In this battle, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Rehe Military Region, the Pingxi Military Region, the First Route Army of the Northeast Coalition Army, the Third Route Army, and the Air Force fought jointly. The front-line command was a person from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and Division Commander Xu personally served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. More than 80,000 people were transferred from Jinchaji, 150,000 people were transferred from the Northeast Coalition Army, and more than 200,000 troops were encircled.

After knowing that the large Japanese army had withdrawn from Beiping from the north, the large force of the Northeast Coalition Army set out from the direction of Mentougou, led by the people from the Pingxi base area, crossed the mountains in several ways, and came to the official hall Zhuolu County and other places in advance to assemble, and according to the movements of the Japanese army, the battlefield was finally selected in the hills and ravines south of Zhuolu County.

The artillery arrived only an hour earlier than the devils, and after the improvised rocket artillery was erected, the command command came to open fire.

March 17, 1944.

The troops of Beiping and Rehe attacked from the north and south, liberating the remnants of the Japanese army in the two counties of Changping and Yanqing. Along the way, more than 100,000 Japanese nationals who fled with the Japanese army were captured.

On the same day, the two armies that had just finished the Battle of Zhuolu quickly moved south and approached Datong.

March 18, 1944.

The army pursued and routed the Japanese army and recovered Yangyuan County.

March 19, 1944.

The army recovered Datong County. The vanguard pursued and routed the Japanese army and reached the city of Datong.

March 21, 1944.

The artillery of the Northeast Coalition Army reached Datong. The troops of the northwest of Jin reached Datong. The 300,000 Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Coalition Army fought with 30,000 Japanese troops and 10,000 puppet troops.

March 23, 1944.

The Datong Offensive began. In the afternoon, Han Buzhou, who had just been appointed by Yan Xishan as the commander of the Fifth Army of the Provincial Defense Army, led the puppet army to revolt on the battlefield, and all the puppet troops in Datong and western Jin revolted. In the afternoon, the rebel puppet army led a large army into the city, and the city of Datong was recovered.

The Japanese army in Datong broke through to the south overnight and fled to Taiyuan.

March 24, 1944. The street fighting in Datong ended, and Datong was recovered.

The number of Japanese troops who escaped from the ruins of Datong was two thousand.

The Eighth Route Army protested to Yan Xishan, suspecting that Han Buzhou, the new commander of the Fifth Army of the Shanxi Provincial Defense Army, had colluded with the Japanese army to protect part of the Japanese army as a provincial defense force, and also released a large number of Japanese troops from their defense area. The Battle of Datong, if fought seriously, could not have ended so quickly.

After counting, about 10,000 Japanese troops disappeared into thin air.

Yan Xishan called back: I will urge Han Buzhou to investigate. In addition, Yan Xishan, as the commander of the Second Theater of Operations, ordered the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Coalition Army to stop pursuing to the south, and the Jin Sui Army to complete the remaining battles.

In the next few days, the Northeast Coalition Army of the Eighth Route Army continued the pursuit and called back to Yan Xishan, asking him to coordinate the battle plan with the Eighth Route Army headquarters. We will obey the orders of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

March 28, 1944. The Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army surrounded and annihilated this fleeing enemy near Yingxian. The Eighth Route Army marched into Taiyuan. At this time, several large armies of Yan Xishan's army occupied several large cities in Shanxi. The Japanese army retreated to Taiyuan and other places.

At Yan Xishan's request, Yan'an ordered the Northeast Coalition Army and the Eighth Route Army to stop advancing.

March 29, 1944. All walks of life suddenly received news that the Northeast Coalition Army appeared in the northern part of Shandong, the southern part of Hebei, and the northeastern part of Henan. The Northeast Coalition Army shouted the slogan: Cut off the escape route of the Japanese army in Shanxi! Encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Shanxi!

In the next few days, in the vast area of southern Hebei and northern Lubei, the Northeast Coalition Army and the local Eighth Route Army Liu Deng's headquarters attacked together, and various county towns were recovered. At the end of March, an army of 100,000 besieged Handan.

This is the last city in Hebei that has not been recovered.

March 29, 1944, Beiping.

The Soviet delegates arrived in Peiping, stayed in a hotel, and in the morning asked to see Commander-in-Chief Lu.

Xiao Lu saw him and said, "Alyosha, old friend, we meet again." ”

Konstancha said: "Old friend, let me ask you, General Zhao Shangzhi has arrived in northern Shandong, don't you send troops to Siberia?" ”

Xiaolu said: "Do you think your country will welcome us to the war on the Soviet mainland?" Now the backyard of the USSR is safe. I feel that the USSR already has a rear, our task has been accomplished, our focus is on Asia, on Japan. ”

"Recently, our country wants to launch a big counterattack, and a counterattack requires enough troops. ”

Xiaolu said: "Is it the plan to recover Moscow?" ”

Konstanza said: "The political and political bureau has made a more ambitious plan to counterattack in both directions in Moscow and Central Asia at the same time. ”

Xiaolu said: "I suggest that the Soviet state and our country talk again, or we can talk to Yan'an in a party-to-party way." I believe that in the previous phase of the talks, we fulfilled our commitment by exterminating the Japanese. If the party talks with the party, I am willing to send troops. ”

"That's good advice," Constanta said. However, I do not agree with you that you have exterminated the Japanese in our backyard and are far from fulfilling all your promises. ”

Xiaolu said: "We help you transport American aid, and that's the biggest help." So let's go, I give one more suggestion, the USSR can buy food and military supplies that we produce. We, the local government in Northeast China, can sign a contract with you. ”

Constanta said: "I can agree to this, we can operate it now." You know, that's what I'm here for. ”

Xiaolu said: "Okay. Need canned fish? I'll sell you a few hundred tons. ”

Konstanza said: "Great. What price do you have? ”

Xiaolu said: "It's cheap, you can give me an aircraft factory." ”

Konstanza said: "Is this still cheap? Last time you were staring at an aircraft factory. ”

Xiaolu said: "Of course it's cheap. ”

Konstanza said: "Give a tractor factory, this is our bottom line." ”

"Tractor manufacturing plant, plus engineers and skilled workers. "The so-called tractor factory is a tank factory, and everyone agrees on this.

The Northeast Coalition Army and the Soviet Union have an agreement, and all the materials aided by the US military, whether the Northeast Coalition Army has used it or not, will eventually give it to the Soviet Union. The equipment used should be topped with materials. In almost half a year, the production capacity of the Northeast suddenly increased, and the supply of Soviet supplies began. The USSR is willing to give money, the Northeast is willing to ask for equipment, not money, the price can be favorable, but to produce equipment.

The canning factory in Koji was seized by the Japanese. After that, Xiaolu gave a scientific research team the task of replicating three canning factories in Dalian, Vladivostok and Sakhalin after several months of work. Fishermen fished and sold to canneries, which could soon be made into canned fish and sold to the army. The canneries have a high output and are currently supplying not only the Northeast Coalition Army, but also the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The first batch of canned fish added too much salt, and you need to add soup when you eat it, and the later canned food is of good quality and can be eaten directly.

Constanta said, "Okay, let them talk about it." "He is also a senior leader, the principles have been decided, let's talk about the details.

Xiaolu said: "In addition, I still have liquor, are you interested?" On a cold battlefield, take a sip of wine, and the combat effectiveness will increase. ”

Konstanza said: "Yes. ”

Xiaolu said: "How much do you want to drink this batch?" ”

Konstanza said, "Ten tons first." "It turned out to be for the big troops, and that's the style of conversation between the two of them.

The situation in the Soviet Union has improved, and at present, the puppet army and the German army in Siberia have been completely wiped out, the lines of communication are all open, and the large army has marched on Moscow. At present, the German army has built strong fortifications in Moscow, preparing for a battle with the Soviet army.

On the Central Asian side, Soviet troops were also fighting back. Because of the lack of military strength, progress in the Central Asian direction is slow.

Yes, the Soviet military was insufficient. They wanted to fight back, but there were great difficulties, lack of food, lack of weapons, lack of fuel, lack of clothing, lack of everything. Rear manufacturing? Many factories were damaged and could not be opened. The factories that started were short of workers, raw materials, electricity, and everything. The Germans also saw this, changed their offensive strategy to a defensive counterattack, and prepared to wear down the Soviet Union.

That's why Constanta wanted the Northeast coalition to send troops to the USSR. This is why the Soviet Union allowed idle factories to be exchanged for supplies.

At the same time as the talks between Constanta and Xiaolu, there was already good news in southern Hebei, Zhao Shangzhi's army of more than 100,000 had conquered Handan, advanced to Xinxiang and Heshuo areas, the Japanese rule was crumbling, and the local puppet armies of all sizes revolted on the battlefield.
