An assault company accompanying the reconnaissance regiment took the lead in attacking the brigade headquarters of the Japanese army in the city, looking at the Japanese major general who was already kneeling and struggling with a knife in his abdomen, and the reconnaissance company in charge of the end command department, he also knew that this major general was the brigade commander of the Japanese army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Faced with this kind of suicide of Japanese generals at a desperate moment, the officers and soldiers on reconnaissance trips have become accustomed to it. The company commander who led the team cursed a few words, and then ordered the commandos around him to restrain the dead Japanese major general.

Anyway, even if it's a dead little devil major general, it's a general after all. For this kind of corpse of a Japanese general, it is also necessary to be cautious in handling it. In the end, if it is handled, it will also be decided by the above.

At least the officers and men of the reconnaissance brigade knew that the Japanese army was still very concerned about the corpses of their generals. If there is a chance, this corpse can also be exchanged for some benefits for the Eighth Route Army. So, you can't just deal with it.

Receiving a telegram from the troops in the city, Lu Zhencao also said with some surprise: "Committed suicide? The general of the little devil, that's all there is to it! Forget it, put that guy's body away, and ask the commander what to do with it then.

Ordered the whole division to speed up into the city and clear the resistance in the city. Let the new 1st Brigade of the 120th Division work hard and tighten its pockets outside the city. Once a little devil breaks out, you must not let them escape! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

In Lu Zhencao's view, the fact that the commander of the Japanese Major General Brigade who committed suicide has been found also means that the command structure of the Japanese army in the city has been destroyed. The remaining Japanese army, which is still resisting, is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.

After solving this Japanese infantry brigade that had been fighting since Yangquan, Lu Zhencao also felt that the combat mission of their division was almost completed. The next thing they have to do is probably to adjust their condition as much as possible to rest.

Sure enough, after receiving the good news from the Third Infantry Division, He Zhengdao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Order the Third Infantry Division, after the battle is over, Shouyang will be handed over to the new 1st Brigade of the 120th Division to garrison, and they will begin to advance to the border of Hebei."

Except for the seriously wounded who were unable to move, the rest of the lightly wounded began to return to the rear hospital in Yulin for treatment in material delivery vehicles. In this way, the logistical burden of the 3rd Infantry Division can also be reduced.

As for some seriously wounded people, they could only be transported to the nearest rear hospital of the 120th Division because of the inconvenience of long-distance transportation. After the injury is recovered, these seriously injured people will also be given corresponding arrangements according to their recovery status.

As the construction of the Eighth Route Army's military reclamation farm has been put on the right track, many officers and men of the army know about it. As long as they can survive, whether they have severed their hands or feet, the army will also arrange them with a job within their ability.

At the military reclamation farm, they can not only continue to wear military uniforms, but also be distributed with some weapons and equipment for self-defense and training. In addition, some of them will also have special local cadres to solve similar personal lifelong problems.

In short, as long as they survive, they will be well arranged. Even if they do not go to the farm, the disabled soldiers who choose to return home will receive corresponding pensions and corresponding work arrangements from the local government.

At worst, it's a good job to go back and be a militia company commander or instructor. At the very least, it will make these disabled soldiers feel that they have not been forgotten by the troops. In this regard, Yulin has undoubtedly done the best.

On the second day after the 3rd Infantry Division successfully annihilated the 21st Infantry Brigade sent by the Japanese army to Yangquan for reinforcements, the 116th Division of the Japanese Army, which was routed by the Changzhi Independent Brigade, was finally successfully surrounded by Li Xiangdong.

Even the division commander of the 116th Division, after resting for one night, decisively made a scattered breakout, trying to disperse the encirclement force of the Eighth Route Army. The 116th Division, which could be divided into four infantry brigades, was eventually divided and annihilated.

As the telegram that the commander of the 11th Division had been killed, He Zhengdao also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Even the 129th Division of the Japanese army in blocking Xingtai also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

In this way, the Japanese troops who want to come to Xingtai will also become more honest. After all, the 116th Division has been surrounded and annihilated, and their so-called rescue has lost its meaning, and continuing to fight will only outweigh the losses.

Faced with one bad news after another, the Itagaki troops, who were already in a dilemma, finally chose to enter an area with relatively complex terrain and continue to break through to Hebei. In their opinion, for the time being, only dead horses can be regarded as live horse doctors.

Knowing that Itagaki had finally changed to break through, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Itagaki is an old devil, this will finally know that there is no choice." The 1st and 2nd Divisions, as well as the units of the reconnaissance brigade, were ordered to enter the final battle.

After destroying the old devil Itagaki, the combat mission of our trip will be over. Seeing that winter is coming, we also took advantage of the lack of snow to hurry back to Yulin for winter, and officially enter the Northeast in the spring! ”

'Yes, Commander! However, are we going to be like this this winter? ’

Ye Jianying, as the chief of staff, was naturally very happy that the newly established Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army could annihilate nearly two divisions of the Shanxi Dispatch Army in such a short period of time.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, an old revolutionary like him came to work with He Zhengdao, which seems to be somewhat out of identity. But Ye Jianying also understands that if this chief of staff is good, he is afraid that he will have a future than some main division commanders.

In the future, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army almost does not need to think about it to know that it needs to be continuously expanded. It can be said that the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, which currently has only 100,000 troops, may develop to less than 1 million in the future.

The most important thing is that if they can successfully recover the Northeast, as the main commanders of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, they believe that they will have the opportunity to go down in history. Whether he is wronged or not, perhaps only Ye Jianying knows it in his heart.

At present, the battle of Henan is still ongoing, and with the New Fourth Army also fully joining this battle, it is not only Henan that has turned the world upside down. Shandong and Anhui are also at war, and the Japanese army is also miserable.

At least in He Zhengdao's view, as soon as the Battle of Shanxi ended, the Japanese army should know that continuing to fight with the Eighth Route Army would only make them lose more than they gained. As for Henan, they can only give up temporarily.

Perhaps they succeeded in occupying so many places in China this year, but by the end of the year, they had lost some of the occupied cities in Shanxi and Henan. On the whole, they seem to have lost all their efforts.

On the other hand, the offensive launched by the Eighth Route Army in winter successfully recovered most of Henan and the entire territory of Shanxi. Not to mention that the territory has expanded a lot, the troops have also been trained in the great war, and a lot of weapons and equipment have been captured.

After this winter passes, I believe that the strength of the Eighth Route Army will be improved again in the coming year. Under the circumstances of eliminating the strengths of the other, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to succeed in successive battles like in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.

Mr. Zhu, who had been staying in Yan'an to pay attention to the two battles, looked at Zhou Enlai, who was happy, walking into the headquarters, and said with a smile: "Enlai, is there any good news?" ”

'Yes! Boss, I just received a telegram from He Zhengdao, and the 116th Division of the little devil was also surrounded and annihilated by us. The commander of their lieutenant general's division, who was killed on the spot by the reconnaissance brigade in the battle, could not die again.

At present, except for some little devils who fled into the mountains, the 116th Division has basically been wiped out. Although we spent a lot this time, the harvest was also very huge! This He Zhengdao is indeed a member of the blessing general! ’

Listening to Zhou Enlai, who was full of excitement, said these words, Mr. Zhu also smiled and said, "Okay! The 116th Division was solved, and we were alive in the whole game of chess. One of our newly expanded main divisions began to be sent to the Changzhi area for garrison.

In this way, in the future, the 129th Division will no longer have to take care of the little devils in the direction of Shanxi, and can go all out to deal with the little devils in Hebei. From now on, the little devil will never want to step into Shanxi for another half step! This battle was fought beautifully! ”

In Mr. Zhu's view, the victory of the Shanxi Campaign was really too important for the Eighth Route Army. The current stalemate with the Japanese army has actually always worried him, the commander-in-chief, for fear that if the war continues to drag on, the Eighth Route Army will be dragged down.

Fortunately, with the successive victories of the Shanxi Campaign, the materials and ammunition captured by the various units have made the headquarters have some gains. Even many weapons and ammunition seized in Shanxi were transported to the Henan battlefield as soon as possible.

Raising war with war is also an idea put forward by He Zhengdao when formulating the Shanxi battle plan. Now it seems that this vision has been realized. In this Shanxi campaign, the Eighth Route Army really gained a lot.

Many factories and mines opened by the Japanese army in Shanxi were also completely taken over by the Eighth Route Army. These mines only need to be reopened, which will provide more raw materials to the arsenal and increase the iron-making and steel-making output of the Eighth Route Army.

And those factories can also provide some help for post-war reconstruction. At least for the democratic governments that have been formed everywhere, there will be some tax revenue and development funding for these jobs to be received.

Looking at the harvest of the Battle of Shanxi, and thinking about the huge gains that may be profitable in the Northeast in the future, Mr. Zhu also truly realized that taking the Northeast will really have the right to speak and capital in charge of Huaxia for them.

If they can accept the current industrial system established by the little devils in the northeast, even if the little devils are driven out of the country and return to the national government in the south, I am afraid that they will start to worry about the trouble of the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, these are some of the prospects that Mr. Zhu hopes to see in the future. But to achieve this goal, Mr. Zhu also knows that there is still a long way to go. But he believes that He Zhengdao will not let him down.

As Zhou Enlai said, this is a member of the Eighth Route Army, and a member of the party and the army. Having such a general can indeed bring them great honor and benefits!

The destruction of the 116th Division, coupled with the fact that Seishiro Itagaki had broken up and broken through, was a heavy blow to the North China Front and even the entire Japanese army invading China. Everyone knows what that means to them.

Even because of the results of the Shanxi Campaign, the Japanese Army Headquarters began to formulate new battle plans. That is, we should strive to protect some of the current core occupied areas, give up some areas that are of little effect, and make every effort to curb the development of the Eighth Route Army in the north.

But at this time, if you want to contain the Eighth Route Army, how can it be easy? (To be continued.) )
