Today is February 5, 1940, the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, a week ago, with the withdrawal of Xie Wensheng's troops from southern Hebei, the 25-day anti-sweeping campaign finally ended. In this battle, the Eighth Route Army dispatched 550,000 troops, and the North China Front Army also mobilized almost all the 470,000 troops under its command, plus a total of five group armies of the First Theater, the Second Theater and the Sulu Theater of the Nationalist Government took the initiative to participate in the battle, and the scale of the anti-sweeping campaign reached an astonishing million people.

Because of this, although the Eighth Route Army called this battle a winter anti-sweeping operation, both the Nationalist Government and the Japanese army called this battle the Battle of North China.

With the end of the campaign, Ma Zheng's summary of the campaign submitted to the Yan'an Party Central Committee was also sent to Yan'an before the end of the month, and after deliberation by the party committee of the Suicha Military Region, it was decided to convene a military and political meeting at the level of division commanders of the whole military region on 5 February.

At this time, Guisui Chengping has been in peace for more than two years, and more than two years of peaceful life have made the whole Guisui one of the most prosperous cities in northern China. Whether it is the Jin merchants in Shanxi or the Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants in the south, they have all opened branches in Guisui. With the injection of commercial vitality elements, the whole Guisui suddenly seems to be alive.

At Ma Zheng's insistence, the entire military region will not refuse all foreign business objects, and as long as you are a real businessman, do business according to law, pay taxes, and do not do anything that endangers the military region, then the entire area under the jurisdiction of the Suicha Military Region will be protected by the Suicha Military Region. Regardless of whether it is Guisui or Baotou, or even any remote town, as long as it is within the jurisdiction of the Suicha Military Region, there will be no collection of protection fees, extortion, and other behaviors that are not conducive to commercial development.

Therefore, in the past year, the economy of the entire Suicha region has shown rapid development, and compared with the war in the whole of North China, it is a paradise.

The auditorium of the Suicha Military Region has been moved from the original barracks to the office building where the former Suiyuan Provincial Government is located; unlike the usual people coming and going, today's government office building is full of soldiers with loaded guns, five steps, one person, ten steps, and one post, and the atmosphere is very tense, and the two main streets connected by the government building are also under martial law, and no one is allowed to pass.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, all military and political cadres at and above the division level of the Suicha Military Region gathered at the Guisui Government Auditorium to attend a military and political meeting presided over by Commander Ma Zheng. This is the first high-level cadre meeting chaired by Ma Zheng since June this year, so all military and political cadres must attend the meeting on time and are not allowed to ask for leave.

As with all meetings, Ma Zheng, as the highest military and political leader of the military region and the presiding officer of the meeting, was the last to arrive, and accompanying Ma Zheng into the meeting hall was Yun Jian, political commissar of the Suicha Military Region.

In addition to Ma Zheng and Yun Jian, Wang Hansen, Huang Sicheng, Chen Xudong, He Xiulin, Wu Xiuda, Xu Xiaolin, Lu Ming, Wang Tao, Tie Xinlan, Xing Chao, Xu Hu, Zhou Lieyang, Ma Desheng, Liu Fengchi, Yang Chengwu, Xu Yinghui, Tie Niu, Shi Dingfang, Li Mingda, Wang Zhan, Xue Haibing, Hu Zhiqiang, and others attended the meeting.

As the presiding officer of the conference, Ma Zheng first informed everyone of the results of this campaign: "Comrades, please be quiet. In early January, as the Japanese army launched a comprehensive encirclement and suppression campaign against our Suicha Military Region and other units of the Eighth Route Army in North China, a month-long anti-sweeping campaign between our army and the Japanese Army in North China began. ”

"The Japanese army dispatched a total of 300,000 troops in this campaign, of which 80,000 directly attacked Zhangjiakou, 50,000 attacked southern Hebei, 20,000 attacked central Hebei, 60,000 attacked eastern Hebei, 80,000 attacked the Shanxi front, and tens of thousands besieged Daixian. If you count the troops left behind in Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei and other places, this time Tada Jun, the old devil, used almost all the power that could be used. ”

"Similarly, our military region has mobilized nearly 300,000 troops this time, plus other troops of the Eighth Route Army, and our Eighth Route Army has dispatched a total of more than 600,000 troops this time. The Nationalist Government also took the initiative to dispatch General Sun Lianzhong's Second Group Army, Gao Shuxun's 39th Group Army, and Yan Xishan's Second Theater also dispatched three group armies, with a total strength of 200,000 troops, so the Japanese and Japanese sides used a total of 1.2 million troops in this campaign, which was unprecedented in scale. ”

"In the brutal battle that lasted 25 days, the two sides waged a desperate struggle in Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Rehe, Chahar, and the Beijing-Tianjin region, and our military region carried forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, not being tired, not being tired, not being bad, and not boasting, and fought 236 times against the Japanese army, destroying 120,000 Japanese puppet troops, of which 70 percent were Japanese troops. After recovering a large area of lost territory, the forces were connected with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Jizhong Military Region, and at the same time, they also assisted the troops in Shandong to complete the strategic task of advancing into Shandong. ”

Before Ma Zheng finished speaking, warm applause rang out in the conference room.

Ma Zheng motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Next, I will read out the specific results of the North China Battle, which is a joint operation of the independent division of the Shandong Military Region, the instructor and Gao Shuxun's department, and annihilated the Japanese army's independent mixed third and fourth brigades, annihilating 14,861 enemies and capturing 1,431 people. The reorganized 5th Division and the Cavalry Division annihilated the Japanese cavalry unit at Kuancheng, annihilating 6,000 enemies and capturing 349 people. The reorganized 2nd Division annihilated the Kato Brigade of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army north of Xuanhua, destroying 11,000 enemies and capturing 800 people. In addition, the reorganized 3rd Division killed and wounded more than 22,000 Japanese troops in the Qian'an Blockade Battle, and annihilated the main force of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army in the southern Hebei battlefield, killing more than 8,000 enemies. More than 10,000 Japanese puppet troops were eliminated in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and more than 25,000 Japanese puppet troops were eliminated in the battles in Daixian and the surrounding areas. ”

"In addition, in this battle, our army killed nine officers above the rank of major general of the Japanese army, including the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, Masanoshi Hirata, the commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, Lieutenant General Shigetoku Numata, Lieutenant General Toichi Sasaki, Major General Shigeyoshi Harada, Major General Shigeji Takeda, and Major General Fujita, and at the same time severely damaged two Japanese special forces and a wing of paratroopers."

"More than 100,000 guns, more than 200 artillery pieces, more than 10,000 horses, more than 1 million rounds of ammunition, more than 300 automobiles, more than 80 combat vehicles, six field hospitals, 7 tons of various medicines, more than 30 trucks of gold and silver dollars and antiques, and countless ...... of various goods were seized."

As soon as Ma Zheng's words fell, the conference room once again burst into warm applause. Almost all of them looked very excited, this battle was so hard and dangerous that everyone saw it, and even Ma Zheng, the commander, was almost arrested by the Japanese as the king in the urn. But when they heard about such a brilliant record, everyone felt that the suffering and tiredness they had suffered before were worth it.

After Ma Zheng sat down, Yun Jian got up and said: "Comrades, there is no doubt about the results we have achieved in this battle, and the Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters are very satisfied with this operation of our military region. Just now, the party Central Committee, the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng have all sent congratulatory telegrams one after another, and Elder Jiang, chairman of the National Government, Mr. Soong Ching-ling, commander of the Second Theater of Operations, Yan Xishan, commander of the First Theater Wei Lihuang, and other dignitaries have also sent congratulatory telegrams to congratulate us on our unprecedented victory. ”

"Of course, there is no lack of meaning to win over, hehe, there are still a few letters of appointment for promotion, our commander was allowed to the rank of army general by Chairman Jiang, and even I, a little-known little person, was given the position of lieutenant general and commander-in-chief of the group army, as for everyone here, the youngest in the military rank is also a major general, and the vast majority of them are lieutenant generals!"

"Hehehe, comrades, we are also celebrities now, and almost all newspapers and magazines in China are reporting to us these days, so we should have a clear understanding of the situation and not let the current situation be distracted...... Let me now let Comrade Commander summarize the achievements of this year and this year, and everyone applauds and welcomes! (To be continued.) )
