The Taiyuan garrison, which began to evacuate from Taiyuan City in the evening, seemed to guess that the road to retreat this time would not be peaceful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBut for them, as long as they withdraw from Taiyuan to the Jinzhong area, they will be relatively safe.

In any case, at present, the entire Shanxi area where Japanese troops are stationed, only Jinzhong is relatively peaceful. The rest of the areas where Japanese troops were stationed are now basically in the smoke of war.

When the Japanese troops in Taiyuan City began to accelerate their withdrawal, the Japanese troops in Shijiazhuang also began to move in the direction of Xingtai. The purpose of the Japanese army's move was undoubtedly to prepare for the retreat of the army sent by Shanxi.

In the face of the Japanese army's move that seemed to intend to abandon Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army also did not dare to take it lightly. Even if the Japanese army did not intend to send reinforcements to Shanxi for the time being, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei were also on high alert.

When receiving a reconnaissance regiment, it has successfully recovered Taiyuan City, and is carrying out a city-wide search and arrest operation. He Zhengdao, who was sitting in Yangqu, also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the battle of Shanxi in Taiyuan was half of the success.

The remaining half of the battle will also be carried out in Yangquan, Jinzhong, and Changzhi, which the Japanese army is currently defending. In contrast, the next battle to recover these three areas is believed to be easier than the battle to recover Taiyuan.

Even if these three areas could not be recovered in a short time, He Zhengdao was confident that he would pressure the Japanese army to retreat. After all, the Japanese army after giving up Taiyuan is afraid that Shanxi has given up. With this kind of thought, they will not resist too resolutely.

Looking at Ye Jianying, the chief of staff, who was also happy, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, draft a telegram and report this good news to the Central Committee and the Headquarters." It's just that this news, let the central government press it for the time being, and it is not appropriate to announce it too early. ”

Ye Jianying, who heard this, said with a little puzzlement: "This is good news, the whole country should celebrate, why postpone the good news?" Is it possible, the little devil still dares to counterattack Taiyuan? ”

Not really! Since we have taken Taiyuan this time, we will naturally not let the little devils occupy it again. However, the capture of Taiyuan City is only the first stage of our Shanxi battle, and the remaining battles are still unfolding, so it is not appropriate to celebrate too early.

In my opinion, when we will drive all the little devils stationed in Shanxi out of Shanxi, then I believe that sending a telegram will make the domestic anti-Japanese war soldiers and civilians even happier. Let others know that our Eighth Route Army can still fight.

Of course, this is my personal suggestion, which you illustrate in Jettel. If the central government feels that it is necessary to announce this news in advance, then I have no opinion. But I think it's too late! ’

Compared with many anti-Japanese war troops today, as long as they win any battle, they will be eager to let the whole world know. But in He Zhengdao's opinion, this kind of power-on is completely unnecessary, and it is better to have a big surprise once in a while.

The recovery of a Taiyuan city and the recovery of the entire territory of Shanxi, there is no doubt that the news of the latter is more shocking. With such a telegram, even European and American countries that paid attention to the Chinese War of Resistance would look at the Eighth Route Army differently.

After all, this is not the reconquest of a city, but a province. Nowadays, the national * army is constantly retreating on the frontal battlefield, and if the Eighth Route Army can start to recover a province, I believe it will also boost the morale and determination of the domestic anti-Japanese war army and people.

But what He Zhengdao really wants to see are those foreign governments who pay attention to the Chinese War of Resistance. Only let them know that now in the battlefield of resistance against Japan in China, the Eighth Route Army also has the ability to reverse and control the situation, and I believe that they will also pay extra attention to the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, some Chinese groups that are overseas to support the domestic War of Resistance will also know that now in the War of Resistance, the ability of the Eighth Route Army will not be worse than that of the National Army, on the contrary, the Eighth Route Army is fighting better than the National Army at the moment.

If you have strength, you will have a good reputation. With a good reputation, there will naturally be good popularity. With good popularity, there will naturally be people who donate money and materials, and naturally there will be European and American countries that will begin to contact the Eighth Route Army.

This is also a very beneficial thing for the Eighth Route Army to be recognized by the international community in the future. After all, today's China has been weak for many years, and it really needs to show the international community that China's military strength and existence are there.

After explaining some of his reasons and opinions, Ye Jianying also seemed a little surprised. But from He Zhengdao's words, Ye Jianying also truly realized that He Zhengdao's strategic vision is indeed farther than many people.

While others are still paying attention to the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in China, He Zhengdao has already considered the matter of winning the support of the people and the international community. It can also be seen from this point that He Zhengdao's thinking is indeed different from ordinary people.

After talking about the success report to Yan'an and the headquarters, He Zhengdao continued: "Send a telegram to Mr. He, and ask him to assemble the main combat force of a division in the shortest possible time, and prepare to enter Taiyuan City tomorrow."

For the troops entering the city, it is better to change into neat and clean uniforms. In terms of weapons and equipment, we should also try to unify the configuration. If you can, pull in the artillery units of their division.

When the time comes, when we are stationed in Taiyuan, we will also have a ceremony to enter the city. Let the people of Taiyuan see what the main force of our Eighth Route Army is now, and enhance the morale and confidence of the soldiers and civilians of the Shanxi War of Resistance. ”

Entrance ceremony!

This is the situation that He Zhengdao wants to see when he makes so many demands. In He Zhengdao's view, it is undoubtedly impossible to hold a military parade now. But a grand ceremony to enter the city, I believe it can still be done.

According to the plan formulated by Yan'an and the headquarters, the security of Taiyuan City in the future will be the responsibility of the 120th Division. At this moment, the 120th Division has actually far exceeded the establishment of the 120th Division given by the National Government.

In the future, two or three divisions and combat brigades will also be formed under the command of the 120th Division. It can be said that in the eyes of many of the main division commanders of the Eighth Route Army, they are actually not division commanders for a long time, but commanders at the level of army commanders.

Receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, Mr. He also smiled and said, "This guy has a lot of requirements!" However, it is rare to enter the second city, and our troops entering the city should indeed pack up, so as not to make people think that we will drill into the ravine.

According to He Zhengdao's request, we will mobilize new uniforms and weapons for our new 1st Division. In addition, two artillery battalions were transferred from the artillery regiment to support the field. Pull the mountain artillery we captured, along with the field artillery and the car, into Taiyuan City and walk around.

I believe that our way of entering the city can also let the people in Chongqing and Linfen know that we are no longer the Huazi troops we were back then. Now our Eighth Route Army is truly the overlord of the previous side! ”

In this way, the chief of staff of the 120th Division also couldn't laugh or cry, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call the new 1st Division." It's just that if you go into the city during the day, will the little devil's plane come over and make trouble? ”

Looking at the weather, I guess tomorrow should be cloudy and rainy. Even if the little devil's plane takes to the air to fight, they are afraid that they will not be able to take care of us. You must know that the troops under He Zhengdao have already set their sights on the main force of Banyuan that escaped from Taiyuan! ’

As the main force to cooperate with He Zhengdao to attack Taiyuan, Mr. He also really saw He Zhengdao's tricks in using troops. It seems to be a one-shot shot in the east and one shot in the west, but it scared the Japanese army so much that they didn't even dare to defend Taiyuan City.

If you want to storm Taiyuan City, even if the newly formed Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army has the strength to take Taiyuan City, it will definitely not be as easy as it is now. Although he didn't know what the specific results were, Mr. He felt that the loss should not be too big.

With the strength of a reconnaissance regiment, a surprise attack was launched from the city of Taiyuan, and the two main infantry regiments should be combined with the outside. Even artillery was not used much, so where would such battle losses be?

It seems to be a wasteful way to play, but the actual consumption of materials and manpower is the least. This way of fighting is indeed amazing to Mr. He. This makes him even more convinced that the future of He Zhengdao is limitless.

Others feel that He Zhengdao gave up the post of a main army commander to be somewhat young and vigorous. But in Mr. He's opinion, He Zhengdao is undoubtedly a smart person. Not to mention retreating, it has also been recognized by many Yan'an leaders.

It makes people feel that in addition to being not dictatorial and dictatorial, he also took over such a hard errand as the Northeast Raider. But once He Zhengdao can really recover the Northeast, not to mention his prestige in the party and the army, the prestige in the country alone is very huge.

After all, the fall of the three eastern provinces was a shame for China in the eyes of many people. If He Zhengdao can defeat the Kwantung Army and successfully recover the entire northeast, it will be to wash away this shame for the people. Such an achievement can be described as a miracle!

As for worrying about what is the master, this is unlikely in Mr. He's opinion. Let's not say that He Zhengdao is Mao's confidant and favorite general, but what will be formed in the future is a democratic government, not a dynasty of any one person.

In the absence of an emperor, as long as He Zhengdao does not seek to seize power, I believe that no one will dare to touch him. The most important thing is to take He Zhengdao in the northeast, and the troops under his control at that time are afraid that they will also dominate one side.

In addition to the new 67th Army now in Central China, those division commanders are all He Zhengdao's direct cadres. Don't look at Yan'an and the headquarters, every day they say that they are not allowed to pull the mountain. But the signboard of the independent column has been invisibly erected.

When it comes to the independent column, others will think of He Zhengdao. As long as the military and political leaders who came out of the independent column, even if they were local leaders, they would regard He Zhengdao as an old leader. This means that Ho Zhengdao will also become the leader of a faction.

The most important thing is He Zhengdao's age, which is undoubtedly the youngest among the senior military and political commanders of the whole party and the whole army. When these people retire, who will be the people who will take over the overall work of the party and the army in the future?

It seems that the credit that can be easily obtained can be handed over, but in fact, it can get He Zhengdao's respect and favor, and it can also bring a lot of benefits to the 120th Division. Mr. He felt that he was not the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi Campaign, but he actually made more money.

The current war has been done by the troops under He Zhengdao. can show his face, but He Zhengdao is thinking about his 120th division. In Mr. He's opinion, no matter how he behaves and does things, he is really old-fashioned and can't be picky! (To be continued.) )
