After receiving Yan Xishan's callback, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was also relieved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info As long as Yan Xishan does not engage in internal friction with them at this time, then the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is still very considerable, and the requirements of the Suicha Military Region are not high, not that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army can eliminate many Japanese devils, but that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army can organize troops to fight several assault battles, and can hold off the Japanese army for a period of time before Ma Zheng's headquarters is ready.

To be honest, such a combat mission is not difficult for the Eighth Route Army, as long as it is properly commanded, it is certainly not a problem to hold back the Japanese army for a month or two, anyway, it is not a blocking war, and fighting surprise attacks and night battles is the strength of the Eighth Route Army. Subsequently, General Peng issued an order for the summer counterattack in the name of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, this time in history was the time when the Japanese attack was the most violent, but due to the change of history, it has now become the time for the Eighth Route Army to counterattack. According to the order of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the 129th Division, the 120th Division, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the Central Hebei Military Region each sent 10 regiments, and the 115th Division and the Southern Hebei Administrative Office each sent 5 regiments to launch a large-scale sabotage battle in the northwest of Shanxi Province and along the Zhengtai Railway.

With the issuance of the combat order of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, for a time there were explosions everywhere along the entire Zhengtai Railway. The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also calculated the meaning that the Japanese army was unwilling to leave the city at will, and concentrated its forces to uproot hundreds of Japanese strongholds within a few days, and the results were brilliant, which greatly shocked the Japanese North China Front.

Suddenly, the Eighth Route Army became the focus of the whole country, and major newspapers called the Eighth Route Army's operation the Second Battle of North China or a continuation of the Battle of North China. Even the media in Japan reported on this incident, and for a time public opinion at home and abroad was very unfavorable to the North China Front.

In order to reverse the unfavorable atmosphere of public opinion, the North China Front Army Headquarters had to temporarily make strategic adjustments and ordered the First Army stationed in Shanxi and the 42nd Division of the Front Army to cooperate with the garrisons along the Zhengtai Railway to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army.

However, what made the North China Front Army depressed was that when their army entered the Zhengtai Railway, the Eighth Route Army's vigorous offensive suddenly stopped, and the 150,000 or 60,000 Eighth Route Army disappeared as if out of thin air a few days ago, and no matter how the Japanese army searched for it, there was no trace of it.

However, when the Japanese army had just relaxed for a few days, the Eighth Route Army appeared like a ghost on the periphery of Pingding County, and blew up 11 large and small bridges and 29 Japanese puppet army strongholds around Pingding County overnight, and more than 300 Japanese puppet troops were swallowed up completely.

The turmoil in North China was turbulent, but there was no slightest wave in the Suicha region, and under Ma Zheng's order, the entire Suicha Military Region entered the final stage of intensive training. Although there are still some units directly under the command that have not conducted intensive training, almost all field units have conducted intensive training for more than six months.

Through this period of training, the ability of the soldiers of all units has been greatly improved, and the most important thing is to enhance the unity and cooperation ability of all units.

In addition, during this period of time, Ma Zheng has invested in armed forces regardless of the cost, and more than a dozen arsenals of various sizes in Baotou and Guisui have worked overtime day and night to produce them; so far, at least two regiments of all reorganized divisions of the Suicha Military Region have completed the refitting of assault rifles, and with the addition of the units directly under the Military Region, the number of assault rifles in the Suicha Military Region has reached 50,000 so far, which accounts for one-seventh of the total strength of the Suicha Military Region.

It can be said that the entire Suicha Military Region is now not only strong and strong, but also has an extremely sufficient ammunition for the troops, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers is even higher than ever.

After unified consultations among the party committee of the Suicha Military Region, it was decided to set up an operational command headquarters of the former enemy to give unified command over the next battle against the North China Front Army.

The commander-in-chief of the former enemy headquarters was personally served by Ma Zheng, and the deputy commander-in-chief was Political Commissar Luo and Yun Jian. The six field divisions of the whole military region and the two divisions of the Shandong Military Region are all ready to go, and once the North China Front has finished the fighting in the south and concentrated its forces to attack the Suicha area, the Suicha Military Region will launch an encirclement and annihilation of the North China Front Army with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

In order to ensure the foolproof nature of this battle, and in order to deal with the possible Kwantung Army, Ma Zheng upgraded the infantry regiment of the puppet Manchukuo that had just rebelled.

Originally, the infantry regiment had only 1,200 people, which was a small regiment of the standard in the puppet Manchurian region, but after being upgraded, this regiment was suddenly upgraded by Ma Zheng to an infantry brigade with a strength of more than 4,500 people.

In order to enhance the mobility of the troops, Ma Zheng mobilized 5,000 war horses from the Chabei Military Division, and each of the newly formed infantry brigades was equipped with one horse. In addition to the fact that the assault rifles are not equipped, there are all kinds of 38 big covers, crooked handles, and 92 types, and even the Suicha Military Region does not have many grenadiers, and this infantry brigade is also equipped with more than 100 units.

At the same time, Ma Zheng transferred more than 50 officers with combat experience from various units to supplement the infantry brigade, and appointed Huang Haitao, chief of staff of the cavalry brigade directly under the former military region, as the supreme commander of this unit.

After accomplishing this, Ma Zheng sent the newly established "First Group Army of the Northeast Democratic Anti-Japanese Allied Army" back to the northeast, and at the same time asked the special combat teams that were operating in the northeast region to coordinate with this group army.

Ma Zheng's purpose is very simple, that is, to use this terrifying unit with a big name to fool the main force of the Kwantung Army in puppet Manchukuo, and there is no need for them to fight to the death with the Kwantung Army, there is a special combat team, this anti-coalition group army only needs to appear in a suitable place and eliminate the suitable Japanese puppet army, and all the logistics are borne by the Suicha Military Region.

In fact, at the beginning, when Ma Zheng proposed to return this infantry regiment that had just rebelled against it to the northeast, many leaders of the military region were resolutely opposed, especially the upgrading of this unit, which numbered more than 4,000 people, at best, an infantry brigade to a group army, which made many people not understand, including Political Commissar Luo and others.

This is not because Ma Zheng is suspicious, but because the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast region did just that. As far as Ma Zheng knows, there are many numbers of the Northeast Democratic Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, and each of them is big and scared to death, and the general number level is at the army level, but in fact, the number of each unit is very small.

Take the first few armies formed by the Anti-Japanese Federation as an example, the 1st Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army, formerly known as the Panshi South Manchurian Guerrillas, was reorganized and established in November 1934. Yang Jingyu served as the army commander and political commissar, with two divisions under his jurisdiction and about 800 people. See, the two divisions only have a total of 800 people, that is to say, the average number of people in each division is only about 400, at best, it is just an infantry battalion with less than a full force.

In addition, the 2nd Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army, which was formed later, was formerly known as the guerrillas of the counties of East Manchuria, which was reorganized and established in May 1935. Wang Detai served as the army commander, with 3 divisions and about 1,200 troops. Well, that's right, 1200 people in three divisions, or an average of 400 people in each division, absolutely nothing wrong.

The 3rd Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army, formerly known as the Hadong Detachment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force (formerly the Zhuhe Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force), was established in January 1935. Zhao Shangzhi served as the army commander and commander of the 1st Division, with 3 regiments under his command. From September 1935 to the spring of 1936, it was expanded into 6 regiments, which were successively expanded into 6 divisions, with more than 700 troops.

Look at these troops, and then look at Huang Haitao's troops, if calculated according to the standard of 400 people in a division of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, this 4,500-strong force is equivalent to more than a dozen divisions, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a group army.

The frightening size of the troop can be said to be a style of the Anti-United Nations, because the Japanese puppet forces in the northeast are extremely strong, so the struggle against the United Nations is also extremely arduous. Weapons and medicine were scarce, and it was difficult to replenish soldiers, so they had to adopt this method of pulling tiger skins to confuse the enemy.

Don't look down on the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, compared to the 300,000 Northeast Army that fled without a fight, they are the real heroes, and they can be called the real Northeast gentlemen.

Throughout the history of the Anti-Japanese War, the struggle of the Anti-Japanese Federation in the northeast region is extremely necessary, and the results are extremely brilliant. According to the post-war statistics of the Heilongjiang Provincial Anti-Japanese War Research Association, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army fought more than 100,000 times against Japan. Tens of thousands of cases have been recorded, including 39,105 in 1935, 3,617 in 1936, 13,110 in 1938, 6,547 in 1939 and 3,667 in 1940.

More than 100,000 battles caused nearly 200,000 casualties to the Japanese puppet army, and also restrained a large number of Japanese troops, according to historical records, in 1940 alone, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation contained about 400,000 Japanese puppet troops, which shows how big the role of this army is.
