Night, August 6, 1940. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Naiman Banner.

The environment of Naiman Banner is much worse than that of Tongliao, the troops are marching along the river valley, and when you look at both sides of the river, you can see the so-called big sand mound of the locals, in fact, it is a desert, but it is a relatively small desert. This area is a bit drier, and the other climatic conditions are not bad, much warmer than Yichun, but unfortunately, overgrazing, there is desert everywhere.

The team walked on the sand dunes, the road was difficult, and the yellow sand under the feet was soft, which was very laborious. The horses are also not very convenient to move, and the physical exertion is great.

Xiaolu received good news that the arms and communication equipment had been delivered to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, and the team to greet them was led by Yang Chengwu himself.

This batch of materials even shocked northern Shaanxi, of course, Mr. Peng paid more attention to it, and repeatedly discussed with Nie Rongzhen and Yang Chengwu of Jinchaji, carefully determined the transportation plan, and Yang Chengwu led a large army to meet it, and it was necessary to ensure the safety of the materials.

The last stop to deliver the supplies was Zhang Qingyun, who had already replaced Du Xigang and the others back. Now, he has successfully completed the task and has returned to his base area, while Luo Cequn accepted the invitation of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and followed the supplies, first to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, and then the cadres and soldiers of the baggage troops went to various units of the Eighth Route Army to teach and operate these new weapons and equipment.

At present, they have arrived in the mountainous area of Wei County, Hebei Province, and they are not far from Fuping.

Wan Quance had already arrived at his destination a few days ago, and he was preparing to open another base here.

Here, Xiaolu continues to organize the transmission of information. After resting for a day, he will lead the special combat team to the destination of his trip, the Chifeng base area.

On the road these days, a large number of telegrams have been sent from the path. Under his orders, Yi Chun sent a large amount of information to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. The staff officers of the headquarters took a nap on horseback during the day, and as soon as they arrived at the camp, they immediately began to work. Xiaolu also handed over all the chores of the march to Wang Santai, and concentrated on organizing intelligence and thinking about the battle situation.

Part of the information sent by Yichun was transmitted by Wang Li from the Soviet Union, part of it was transmitted from Mukden, Changchun, and Harbin, and a small part was found by Xue Rui from the computer. Now, she has fully understood Xiao Lu's worries, and also understood Xiao Lu's intention to postpone the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, and has mastered the proportions of transmitting information very appropriately.

Every time I get information, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi will study it carefully. At this time, Mr. Zhu had just left Shanxi and returned to Yan'an, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi was presided over by Peng Zuo.

These days, Yichun has sent dozens of secret telegrams to Mr. Peng, talking about the world situation, how the Japanese army moved troops to the south, and the distribution of the Japanese army in East and Central China.

Xiaolu sent these telegrams, each with a copy to Yan'an.

A while ago, after Beiling got the new equipment, Xiaolu sent a telegram to Mr. Peng, saying: "I recently got a batch of new communication equipment, I don't keep any of them, I will give them all to you." I hope that I can command brigade and regiment-level units to increase my chances of victory. ”

Mr. Peng called back: "Thank you for your selflessness. With your new communication equipment, I will surely win the battle in return. ”

Xiao Lu sent a similar telegram when he handed over his weapon.

In fact, from Yichun to Shanxi, thousands of miles, did not dare to take the railway, and it was difficult to transport weapons. Xiaolu just wants to use weapon transportation, weapons and equipment, and training to drag it out, so that the battle of the hundred regiments can start later.

Why later?

The Battle of the Hundred Regiments was an extremely important battle, which not only dealt a blow to the Japanese army, but also boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese resistance, supported the southern front, and also dealt a blow to the surrender faction. It is of great benefit to the anti-Japanese situation in China as a whole.

After the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the Japanese army transferred its troops to the north on the southern front, and the situation on the southern front began to improve.

However, why is such a good battle so controversial? Why was it rejected for a while?

The Battle of the Hundred Regiments went through different evaluation stages in China, such as complete affirmation (1940~1942), basic affirmation (1943~1959), and complete negation (1959~1976). Later, the official was basically affirmed and praised, but now hundreds of schools of thought are contending, thinking that the loss is too great and the timing is not good.

If you wait another half a year, wait for the devils to start other campaigns in the south, and the northern army is a little more empty, then the effect will be better and the losses will be less.

When Xiao Lu read this period of history, he was a little unimpressed with this assumption.

Assumptions are assumptions after all. The Japanese army has an extremely strong transport capacity. This ability is inferior to that of the Soviet Union, but it is many times stronger than the national army and thousands of times stronger than the Eighth Road. As long as you fight, the Japanese army will always draw back enough troops to counterattack after a month to two.

The battle of 100 regiments is the inevitability of the battle situation. Objectively, the Japanese army in the south was mobilized to reduce the pressure on southwest Guizhou, and objectively the possibility of Chongqing surrendering was reduced. Xiaolu sent information about the small actions of the Japanese in Chongqing to communicate privately to Yan'an, just to illustrate this point.

However, from the perspective of timing, it is better to launch the Battle of the Hundred Regiments later. It is necessary to collect the grain and fight it again, and make adequate preparations. Sooner or later, Lao Chiang would not have surrendered to the Japanese immediately.

These ideas are all turning in the belly of the path, and they can't be said. He believed that sending out these pieces of information would help Peng Zuo's determination, not to mention that Mao Zhouzhu already knew what he meant, and would inevitably intervene in this matter.

Historically, the Battle of the Hundred Regiments was a medium-sized sabotage battle, and when the plan was first formulated, only 22 regiments were planned to be dispatched, and the battle began, and the other regiments did not care about the orders or not, and the guys went up. In particular, some local troops, when they heard that others were fighting, were unwilling to lag behind, and immediately started a war against the local Japanese puppet army, fighting back and forth, and more than 100 regiments, including individual national army units, were on board, and only then did a 100-regiment battle be created.

The problem lies in the poor communication and the fact that the command of the headquarters in various localities is not smooth, and many units have not been able to contact each other in a timely manner, and they have taken the initiative to participate in the war after hearing that the fraternal units have started fighting. Their goal in the war is also to catch the nearest devil stronghold to start fighting.

Xiaolu aimed at these two points, one is to send intelligence, and the other is to send communication equipment, hoping to help.

Also, the number of Japanese deaths in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, many people have a lot of controversy, although the number of the Eighth Route Army is inaccurate, but it will definitely not be as small as the Japanese say. If only a few hundred died, how much would the reaction of the Japanese be?

Xiaolu wanted to make a move in the Zhangjiakou area, beat the Japanese pain, and make them realize who was the master in North China. Only in this way will there be a good life.

After the Battle of Nomenkan, Koji once sent a captured Japanese officer to communicate, saying that he could transfer his forces to the west. Although the Japanese army did not carry out large-scale operations in the eastern part of the northeast, the Northeast Coalition Army actually stopped large-scale operations in the eastern part of the northeast and moved a large force to the western part of the northeast with great fanfare.

This time, in coordination with the campaign in North China, the staff officers put forward two plans, limited to military supplies, one was to launch a harassment war in the entire northeast territory, and the other was to start a big battle in the Suiyuan area.

Xiaolu adopted the second plan, using a small number of troops to fight a war in Suiyuan, echoing the North China War.
