[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 579: Summary and Rewards (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

But to be honest, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army really doesn't have much say in this matter. On the one hand www.biquge.info because Ma Zheng's Suicha Military Region is now under the direct jurisdiction of Yan'an, and is not under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and without jurisdiction, it is naturally impossible to order Ma Zheng's headquarters.

On the other hand, although on the surface this battle seems to be a brilliant achievement achieved by the joint efforts of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the headquarters of the Second War Zone. But Mr. Zhu and others understand that in fact, from beginning to end, all this is commanded by Ma Zheng, and their role is only to liaise in the middle, at best they are just a microphone, as for whether Ma Zheng's department will withdraw from Taiyuan, this Mr. Zhu and others are not sure.

However, how to get along with Yan Laoxi and the Jin Sui Army has always been a difficult problem for the top of the Eighth Route Army, after all, the land of the Three Jin Dynasty has always been Yan Laoxi's own place before, although the Eighth Route Army is here to assist the Jin Sui Army to fight devils, but it is also a fact that they have privately expanded their territory, which has long caused Yan Laoxi's dissatisfaction, but the strength of Ma Zheng's department has not exploded.

Now that Ma Zheng's department is stationed in Taiyuan City, if he doesn't leave, it will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of this old man, and if he has a stalemate with Yan Laoxi at this time, it will only make his relatives and enemies happy, so Mr. Zhu and others still hope that Ma Zheng's department can withdraw to the north of Xinkou.

To be honest, Ma Zheng really doesn't have much interest in Shanxi, a place of four wars, plus Yan Laohan insists on fighting devils after all, and it is really unreasonable if he doesn't leave his lair, so it is also appropriate to retreat north. Besides, the battle is not over yet, and it would not be wise to turn against Yan Laoxi at this time.

Besides, the casualties of the troops in this war are relatively large, although many puppet soldiers have been captured and a large number of weapons and equipment have been captured, but their own casualties are also real, so the most important thing now is not to grab territory with Yan Laoxi, but to let the troops go back to rest.

Soon, Huang Sicheng soon received a telegram from Ma Zheng, who, in his capacity as commander of the Suicha Military Region, ordered him to immediately withdraw to Datong for rest and recuperation, and to hand over all the defense areas south of Xinkou and Yuanping to the Second War Zone.

Yan Laohan didn't expect Ma Zheng to withdraw so simply, but he seemed a little stingy. In addition, the losses of the Eighth Route Army this time were indeed not small, and the benefits were almost none, and even the recovered territory was handed over to his Jin Sui Army, the old man was a little unhappy, and deliberately mobilized 500,000 oceans from his small treasury to send people to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

For the silver sent to the door, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which has always been bitter, of course, does not refuse to come, and the losses of the troops this time are indeed not small, the dead need to be compensated, and the injured have to be disabled, and this all needs silver. 500,000 oceans seems like a lot, but in fact it is not enough to make up for the consumption of the Eighth Route Army in this war, if you add the consumption of ammunition and equipment, another 500,000 is not enough.

However, whether it is Mr. Zhu and others or Ma Zheng, they also know that they will not lose this battle. Although the Eighth Route Army lost a large number of soldiers in this battle, it improved the experience and ability of the troops to carry out urban fortification operations.

In addition, Ma Zheng's troops broke through the stone gate this time and seized a large amount of materials, including weapons and equipment that can equip 70,000 or 80,000 people, as well as a large amount of money and food. In addition, a large number of miners and prisoners of war were rescued, who were good reservists.

There is no much suspense in the battle now, and while the First Army captured Jingcheng Pass, the Fifth Division also arrived at Shimen with great difficulty, and easily occupied this transportation hub without defenders. It's just that what makes Lieutenant General Ando Toshikichi feel depressed is that he not only inherited an empty city, but even a dead city.

The Eighth Route Army not only blew up all the facilities in the city, but even took away more than 10,000 ordinary people in the city, leaving the Japanese with a stone gate full of holes and even a clean well.

In particular, Shimen Station, the largest railway station in North China, was almost completely destroyed, not only the buildings were destroyed, but even the railroad tracks leading to more than ten kilometers outside the city were pulled out, and the Japanese were stunned.

With the recapture of Shimen by the Fifth Division, the battle plan of encircling and annihilating the First Army stationed in Shanxi in the Second World War Zone was considered bankrupt, so Yan Laoxi also ordered the end of the battle and transferred the main force to the front line of Xinkou and Yangquan to deploy defenses, in case the Japanese army took the opportunity to attack Taiyuan.

And Sugiyama Yuan, an old devil, learned that the main force of Ma Zheng's department had left Taiyuan and went north, worried about being counterattacked by the Suicha Military Region, he also ordered the Fengwen Department of Yamashita on the Zhangjiakou front line to evacuate, and deployed defenses along the line of Shalingzi, and this war that lasted for nearly a month finally ended.

Datong. The headquarters of the 1st Division was reorganized.

On 15 September, all officers at the division and brigade level who participated in the war held an operational summing up meeting in Datong, which was personally presided over by Ma Zheng.

The conference room was very lively, and although the territory of the Suicha Military Region had not expanded much in this battle, the combat effectiveness of the troops had been greatly improved. More importantly, after this battle, almost all the officers made a discovery, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army seemed to be declining, while their combat effectiveness seemed to be improving.

"The Commander has arrived!" Just as the officers in the conference room were laughing happily, the loud voices of the guards were heard outside.

Suddenly, the expressions of the officers in the conference room were shocked, and then everyone stopped talking and laughing, waiting for Ma Zheng's arrival.

Ma Zheng strode into the conference room, and then sat down in the main seat facing the back wall.

Seeing Ma Zheng come in, the conference room immediately burst into warm applause, which lasted for a long time, and all the officers present gave the warmest applause and respect to this legendary commander.

Ma Zheng was also not polite, and only after the applause weakened slightly did he signal everyone to be quiet, and then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that this time I went south to Shandong for more than three months, and I was very happy to see everyone gathered in the conference room one by one safe and sound." ”

Hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion. The separation of life and death during the war years is so normal, no one can escape the cycle of life and death, whether it is a general or a soldier.

Maybe everyone is sitting together today and talking and laughing, but maybe in the next battle, someone will be injured, or even killed in battle, and being alive is a kind of happiness in this troubled era, and of course, death may also be a relief.

Then Ma Zheng said again: "Ladies and gentlemen, this battle has ended, we not only defeated most of southern Hebei, captured a small half of Rehe, but also assisted the Second World War Zone to recover Taiyuan, the first army of the Japanese North China Front Army in Shanxi has been compressed in the Yangquan line, it can be said that we have completely lost control of the central part of Shanxi, and we have achieved a complete victory in this battle!" ”

After speaking, Ma Zheng took the lead and applauded.

There was a warm applause in the conference room, which lasted for a long time.

Ma Zheng motioned for everyone to be quiet for a while, and then continued: "A large number of outstanding combat units and individuals have emerged in our army in this battle, and the political commissar will read out to you the decision of the Yan'an side on rewarding meritorious units. ”

After a round of applause, Political Commissar Yun Jian took out a thick document and read: "The combat units that have won the third-class combat merit of the Military Region are: the Military Region Guard Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, the Logistics Support Brigade, the Xinghe Garrison Regiment, the Shangyi Garrison Regiment, the Fengzhen Garrison Regiment, and the Datong Garrison Regiment. Those who have been awarded second-class meritorious service in theater operations are: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and cavalry divisions that have been reorganized. The combat units that have been awarded the first-class meritorious service in the theater are: the 309th Regiment of the 1st Division, the 2nd Brigade of the Special Operations Brigade, and the Assault Brigade. ”

Then Yun Jian continued: "The individuals who won the special combat heroes in the theater are: Wang Guotao, the commander of the 309th Regiment, the soldier Li Chunliang, the captain of the Thor Special Operations Brigade Tie Niu, and the warrior Wang Guoqiang......."

"By the decision of the military district command, a reward of 1,000 oceans will be given to combat units that have won third-class merit, 5,000 oceans to combat units that have won second-class merit, and 10,000 oceans to combat units that have won first-class merit. Individuals who have won the third-class merit will be rewarded with 10 oceans, those who have won the second-class merit will be rewarded with 20 oceans, and the individual who has won the first-class merit will be rewarded with 50 oceans. ”

As soon as Yun Jian's words fell, the entire conference room burst into warm applause, this was the first time that the theater command had given awards to units and individuals who were fighting, and the awards were so heavy, which made all the officers present both excited and excited.
