[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 312: Battle Summary Meeting (Ask for subscription!) ）

Jining. The headquarters of the Seventh Division.

As soon as he returned to Jining, Ma Zheng convened an operational summary meeting, which was attended by all senior officers, including the Suicha Military Region, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and the Jinsui Army Observation Group.

The auditorium of the headquarters of the 7th Division was full, and 50 or 60 senior officers walked in from the outside one after another, and the meeting began after the arrival of the senior officers of the 92nd Division, who had rushed to Jining from Xinghe.

At the beginning of the meeting, Ma Zheng got up and said: "Leaders and comrades, the Battle of Datong has come to a successful conclusion, and we have dealt a powerful blow to the headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia, which has dealt a great blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, played the prestige of our army, and raised the national prestige of China. ”

The meetings are basically the same, and most of them are set by the main leaders before they officially begin.

"In the Datong Campaign, our department dispatched more than 30,000 infantry divisions and took the initiative to launch against the Japanese troops stationed in Datong, Yanggao, and Tianzhen. Although it took only two days, it achieved significant results. This is a total of three cities recovered by our army, including Datong, an important town in northern Shanxi. Annihilated more than 13,000 Japanese puppet troops, including two complete infantry wings and two military police squadrons of the Japanese army, totaling more than 8,700 people, and captured more than 1,300 Japanese soldiers, which was the largest number of captured Japanese soldiers since the beginning of the war. In addition, two divisions of the puppet army were annihilated, and two regiments revolted on the battlefield. ”

In addition, our army also captured more than 14,000 rifles of various types, 249 heavy machine guns, 521 light machine guns, 39 artillery pieces, more than 3,000 tons of ammunition of various types, and 70 million rounds of ammunition alone. At the same time, more than 1,000 Japanese vehicles of various types, 12 combat vehicles and armored vehicles, and more than 30 tons of fuel were also captured. In addition, the grain shortage in our department has also been solved, and a total of 30 million catties of wheat and rice, and more than 40 million catties of coarse grains such as corn and potatoes have been seized. ”

"The most important thing is that our unit completely destroyed the heavy industrial base of the Japanese army in the mining area on the outskirts of Datong this time, and all coal enterprises, coking coal plants and steel plants were devastated, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to have the energy and funds to rebuild the mining area in a short period of time. It directly and effectively smashed Japan's conspiracy to plunder China's mineral resources and protected China's mineral resources. The economic damage to the enemy-occupied areas was unprecedented, and the Japanese army suffered heavy economic losses. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "In addition, our army rescued a large number of trapped miners during the raid on Datong this time, with a total number of more than 73,000 people. He also eliminated a secret prison and a secret laboratory set up by the Japanese army in northern Shanxi, and learned about many crimes and conspiracies of the Japanese army in invading China. The harvest is not small. ”

Immediately after Ma Zheng's voice changed, he said in a somewhat low voice: "However, our army also suffered heavy losses in this operation, with a total of 1,145 soldiers killed and 3,251 wounded in this battle, with a casualty rate of 14%. At the same time, other units of the Eighth Route Army also directly or indirectly participated in this battle, such as blocking the 120th Division of the Japanese Army's Independent Mixed Second Brigade in Yinshan, and attacking the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region in Weixian and Yangyuan, and their losses were also quite serious. Although no specific casualty figures have been reported, it is impossible to hold the Japanese army for a day and a night without losses. ”

"The second is that the strategic materials in our army's reserves are also extremely seriously depleted, and our troops have lost a total of 2,218 guns and 17 artillery pieces, including 5 field guns, and the ammunition has been seriously consumed, reaching more than 54 million rounds......

After explaining the results and losses of the battle, Ma Zheng said again: "Comrades. The results are worthy of affirmation and are beyond doubt. But the losses were also heavy. It's inevitable. War has its iron laws, and those who want to hit people have the courage and endurance to be beaten. No matter how heavy the losses are, as long as there is still a Japanese devil on Chinese soil, we will fight to the end! ”

After the meeting, the Jin Suijun Observation Group submitted their resignation to Ma Zheng's department, after all, this place is close to Shanxi. If you go back to Guisui and walk again, you will go around in a big circle. Anyway, the purpose of the Eighth Route Army has been achieved this time, and there is no point in staying any longer, not to mention that Yang Aiyuan and others want to go back and report the situation to Yan Laoxi as soon as possible, so they submitted their resignation to Ma Zheng and others as soon as the meeting ended.

Ma Zheng didn't keep it, and it wasn't a system anyway. There's no need to be so fake. However, when leaving, Ma Zheng still prepared some gifts for these people, all of which were the trophies of this battle. What was given to Yang Aiyuan was a general's sword, which was Takahashi Daisa's saber.

Takahashi had been a major general of the Japanese army before, and he was only recently demoted, so the saber is still a golden general's sword. Originally, Ma Zheng's plan was to give this combat knife to the left deputy chief of staff, but the left deputy chief of staff asked Ma Zheng to give it to Yang Aiyuan, and he chose an adjutant knife.

Yang Aiyuan and others left, but the deputy chief of staff and others stayed, and they finally came to visit, and they also wanted to know more about the Suicha Military Region.

The battle is over, but the next thing is more complicated, the first thing is to send all the equipment back from this rush back to the hinterland of the base area, and let these equipment return to work as soon as possible, and not let them sit idle. The second is to quickly treat and condition these rescued miners, many of these people are extremely badly damaged, I am afraid it will take a long time to recuperate, and some people are afraid that they will not want to do heavy work in this life.

In the end, this time, Ma Zheng's department also captured more than 500 Japanese expatriates from Datong City, basically all of whom were Japanese who came to China to do business, and these people were brought back by Ma Zheng by beating rabbits with grass.

But what made Ma Zheng happiest was the guy that Tie Niu brought back, after interrogation, the identity of that guy has been confirmed, the founder and actual controller of the Japanese Mitsubishi Foundation, the little master of the Iwasaki family, called Iwasaki Naoji, is the favorite son of the patriarch of the Iwasaki family, Iwasaki Koyata.

After confirming the identity of that guy, Ma Zheng's first reaction was to catch a big fish. The Mitsubishi consortium's position in Japan Ma Zheng is very clear, and the four major consortia of Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Yasuda, centered on the family chaebol, are the earliest monopoly consortia formed in Japan, which holds the lifeblood of Japan's economy and controls a large number of Japanese companies, among which the Mitsubishi consortium is the most powerful.

Speaking of the Mitsubishi Foundation, we have to mention one person, this person is Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of the Mitsubishi Foundation. Yataro Iwasaki was born into a declining family of villagers in the Tosa Domain, and his grandfather betrayed his status as a village priest due to financial constraints, becoming a lower-level "underground ronin". At that time, Japanese society had a strong sense of hierarchy and hereditary identity, and Yataro Iwasaki, who held the title of "underground ronin", may have "declined" for the rest of his life.

However, Yataro Iwasaki has been active, competitive, and courageous since he was a child, and he has won the family's "samurai heritage". He once exhorted himself with "There has been no true Taoism in the sea for a long time, who is the great hero in the world". If it weren't for his mother's insistence that he receive a private school education, Yataro Iwasaki would probably have become a samurai.

's competitive and fierce personality once put Yataro Iwasaki in prison. Angered by the fact that his father had a conflict with the village's principal, Yataro Iwasaki's complaint was not accepted, and Yataro Iwasaki publicly accused officials of accepting bribes, only to be thrown into prison for it. However, this imprisonment became a turning point in Yataro Iwasaki's fate. While in prison, he met his career mentor, Yuliang Laicun. Yorimura Uryo was a merchant in the Tosa clan who was imprisoned for cutting timber that was forbidden to be cut, but he had a knack for doing business, and he taught Yataro Iwasaki many of the keys to doing business.

After 7 months in prison, Yataro Iwasaki was finally released from prison with the help of a friend. After that, Yataro Iwasaki was determined to make a big career in politics. He worked hard to get acquainted with politicians, and as a result, he was offered a position in the township. Because of this position, Yataro Iwasaki was able to visit Nagasaki and other places where foreign businessmen gathered, and he was deeply shocked by Western things and new culture.

After returning to his hometown, Yataro Iwasaki began to turn to business. He reclaimed a large amount of land, built embankments and dams, and earned the first pot of gold in his life. In addition, with the help of his contacts in the political circles, Yataro Iwasaki not only regained his status as a "village scholar", but also held a position in the "Cargo Colonization Bureau" of the Tosa Domain.

At the Tosa Domain's Cargo and Colony Bureau, Yataro Iwasaki was in charge of mortgaging the Tosa Domain's timber, camphor, and other products, and after obtaining loans, he purchased guns, ships, etc., from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and other countries. Through trade contacts, Yataro Iwasaki made friends with a large number of foreign merchants.

After the Meiji Restoration began, the Japanese government demanded that all feudal governments should no longer operate enterprises, and that all existing enterprises should be privately owned. Under this wave of "restructuring", Yataro Iwasaki, who was "both an official and a businessman", incorporated the "Kujuku Chamber of Commerce", the main shipping company of the Tosa Domain, into his personal name, which is also regarded as the founding date of Mitsubishi Corporation.

After decades of development, the Mitsubishi Foundation has gradually become the most prestigious consortium in Japan. With the rise of militarist forces in Japan, the major enterprises under the major Japanese chaebols inevitably became the tools of aggression of the Japanese government. After the "918" incident, Mitsubishi not only became an important pawn in Japan's management of the mineral resources of the puppet state of Manchukuo, but also accepted a large number of military orders from the Japanese military, and its products included fighter planes, ships, gunpowder, chemical weapons, and so on, covering almost all aspects of military supplies.

It can be said that more than half of the weapons used by the Japanese army to massacre the Chinese are produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a subsidiary of the Mitsubishi Foundation, including the notorious Zero fighter. This time, he caught the direct young master of the Mitsubishi consortium, how could Ma Zheng spare him. (To be continued.) )
