After three days of arduous negotiations, Ma Zheng's headquarters finally reached a ceasefire agreement with the North China Front, which mainly included the withdrawal of Japanese troops from Beiping and the safe transfer of Beiping and its surrounding areas to Ma Zheng's headquarters, which in turn wanted to ensure the safety of 40,000 Japanese troops and 20,000 overseas Chinese.

At the same time, the two sides also stipulated that after the Japanese army withdrew from Beiping City, Ma Zheng's troops were not allowed to pursue for three days, and after three days, they would rely on their own abilities. However, in order to protect the cultural relics and monuments of Beiping City, Ma Zheng's department required the Japanese army to strictly prohibit anything except the necessary weapons and ammunition, including cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, and industrial equipment.
Of course, in order to ensure that both sides can fulfill their agreements, the commanders of both sides must swear in the honor of military personnel and publish the contents of the negotiations publicly. In addition, each side left a senior officer in the other camp's camp as a hostage.
Since this negotiation was carried out under the attention of the people of the whole country, and the Japanese army base camp did not want Okamura Ninji, the commander of the front army, to die in Beiping, so they were very happy when fulfilling the agreement.
On November 30, the Japanese expatriates were evacuated first, and more than 20,000 expatriates were evacuated from Beiping City under the protection of about a brigade of infantry, and headed for the port and railway station of Tianjin, where Japanese warships, armed merchant ships, and cruise ships were waiting for them, and their destination was Jinan, Shandong.
After repeated attacks by the Chinese side, the Japanese army north of Shandong and Henan was basically wiped out, and now only Shandong and Henan are still under the control of the Japanese army, relatively speaking, the Japanese army's power in Shandong is stronger than Henan, so Shandong has become the only place where Japanese expatriates can go.
At the same time, in order to show sincerity, under the supervision of the Japanese army, 100,000 residents of the city were released from Beiping City.
On December 3, all the Japanese expatriates in the city were evacuated, and more than 400,000 residents in the city of Peiping were also released.
After the evacuation of the Japanese expatriates, the troops began to evacuate, first with the remnants of the 110th Division, followed by the remnants of the 26th Division.
At the same time as the Japanese army withdrew from Beiping, about a regiment of engineers under Ma Zheng's department began to enter Beiping City and dismantle mines and bombs according to the map provided by the Japanese army.
The two sides carried out the handover in an orderly manner, and it was not completed until December 8, when Okamura Ningji withdrew from Beiping with the last group of Japanese troops, Ma Zheng commanded the troops to enter the city.
On December 9, Ma Zheng's department held a grand ceremony to enter the city in Beiping to report the victory to the whole country.
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was excited, and for a time the entire report on the entire North China counteroffensive appeared in the major newspapers of the country, and although the battle failed to completely annihilate the North China Front Army and did not kill Okamura Ningji, it still achieved extremely brilliant results.
After a series of reports, the names of Ma Zheng, Wei Lihuang, Yan Xishan, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, Liu and others suddenly became famous throughout the country, and Ma Zheng, who was already a famous anti-Japanese hero in the country, has now almost become synonymous with the god of war, whether it is the mouthpiece of the Nationalist Government or the control of Yan'an, almost all of them are praises for this young general who is only 31 years old.
In the aftermath of the liberation of Pingjin and Hebei, China's international reputation was shaken, in stark contrast to the debacle of the United States on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, and at the same time, a larger proposal for aid to China was quickly put on Roosevelt's desk.
The heroic performance of the Eighth Route Army not only shocked the Americans, but also shocked the world, especially since this war was almost entirely completed by the Eighth Route Army, so the reputation of the Eighth Route Army was further enhanced.
Of course, the tide rises and the boat rises, and Ma Zheng's fame once again resounded throughout China, and his huge personal photo was directly put on the desks of Roosevelt and Churchill by the intelligence agencies of Britain and the United States, and even Stalin, who had always been proud, was also very emotional after reading the information about Ma Zheng, saying that Ma Zheng was a good Bolshevik in China and worthy of learning from the vast number of Soviet Red Army soldiers.
For this reason, Roosevelt deliberately told General Stilwell, chief of the general staff of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, to take time to go to Yan'an to have a good look at the Chinese Communist Party, and at the same time sent several reporters with special tasks to northern China to interview Ma Zheng, a Chinese general.
However, these things have nothing to do with Ma Zheng for the time being, and now he still has a lot of messes to clean up. The Japanese army had withdrawn from the Pingjin area and established a defensive line on the front line in Dezhou, apparently preparing for a major battle with Ma Zheng's troops in Shandong.
According to Ma Zheng's plan, the troops could not stop, after conquering Hebei and the Pingjin region, the troops did not stop, but continued to attack Shandong, and millions of troops gathered in Shandong, and then took the last piece of territory of the Japanese devils in North China, and drove the little devils into the sea to feed Wang Ba.
But what happened next completely disrupted his plan, first of all, a large number of Japanese reinforcements landed in Qingdao, the first batch of infantry was full of four divisions, and even a chariot division, and now the entire Shandong region has gathered the powerful strength of the Japanese army's 8 infantry divisions, 4 independent mixed brigades and 1 chariot division, and the total number has exceeded 150,000.
Coupled with the puppet army that cooperated with the operation, the total strength of the enemy in Shandong has exceeded 200,000. In addition to this, the strength of three divisions of the Japanese army has been boarded in Tokyo Bay, ready to be transported to North China. Therefore, it is expected that within a month, the number of Japanese troops stationed in Shandong will reach a terrifying 250,000.
Coupled with more than 50,000 people of the 11th Army going north, the number of them was even more sea, so Ma Zheng's troops had to stop and digest the territory that had just been recovered.
In addition, the eastern direction of Hebei also seems to be very unstable, first of all, the third army of the Japanese Kwantung Army is fighting to the death with Tie Xinlan's department on the Qian'an line, and both sides are fighting fiercely, but in general, Tie Xinlan's department suffered a little loss, and was eaten by the third army A whole three infantry regiments.
The Horqin steppe is also full of war clouds, and the cavalry divisions of the Kwantung Army and several national defense forces of the puppet Manchu government continue to expand the defense line to the Suidong area, and they also plunder deep into the grassland many times.
Ma Desheng, who was stationed in Suidong, was furious and sent three cavalry divisions to fight in the eastern steppes, and the two sides fought several encounters, but there were no large-scale cavalry encounters, so they were very jealous of each other.
The instability in the rear also made Ma Zheng have to stop advancing, and ordered the troops to immediately rest and replenish on the spot, waiting for the latest orders of the military region, while he himself returned to Datong from the Pingjin front line with the guard regiment.
The war finally came to an end, both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in this war, the Japanese army was wounded, and the Eighth Route Army was also a small injury, and if it continued to fight, it was probably the same end, so what the two sides need to do now is to repair.
After the end of the war, Ma Zheng still has a lot to do, and those wounded alone are enough for Ma Zheng to have a headache. Due to the long duration and large scale of this war, and the area covered by it was wide enough, it was difficult to count the results for a while, but all the wounded were sent back to the rear for treatment, so the current cities of Datong, Xinghe, Jining, and Guisui were like a refugee camp, full of wounded soldiers wrapped in gauze and crutches.
In addition, after the capture of Beiping and Tianjin, many Japanese industries were confiscated, including several arsenals and pharmaceutical factories. Ma Zheng has ordered the troops to dismantle all these factories and return them to Sui, and what they need to do now is to let these factories exert their energy as soon as possible.
In addition, it is also necessary to do a good job in handing over the defense areas with the Nationalist Government, but this is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, after all, the Nationalist Government's troops in North China are very limited, especially in the southern Hebei and Pingjin areas, and there are only tens of thousands of troops of Gao Shuxun's 39th Group Army, which is not at all the opponent of the Japanese army.
In addition, after Lao Chiang learned that hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops had accumulated in Shandong, our Chairman Chiang immediately ordered Wei Lihuang's headquarters to temporarily stop moving to Hebei, but ordered the First Theater to immediately rest on the spot, accumulate strength, and wait until the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army in Shandong had decided to make a decision.
