As the Eighth Route Army was busy with the reorganization of the independent column, He Yingqin, who left Shaanxi with a group of prisoners of war. Compared to the one who came, he was undoubtedly more low-key, and he didn't seem to want others to know about the fact that they had taken the little devil's captive.

Like the previous time, in the area under the joint management of the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army outside Tongguan, an elite regiment of the Central Army has arrived outside Tongguan. When they came to Tongguan, they naturally picked up He Yingqin and his party and acted as their defense troops.

The commander of the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army, who was responsible for protecting He Yingqin and his party, accompanied by the commander of the Tongguan garrison brigade, chatted with the colonel of the Central Army who came to pick him up, and then watched He Yingqin and his party leave in front of Tongguan.

Regarding the transfer of prisoners of war, there are many high-level officials of the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army. Regarding the transfer of prisoners of war this time, some people in the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army also disagreed with this transfer method.

For many generals of the Central Army, although they can understand the national government, they hope to boost the soldiers of the military and civilian anti-Japanese war. But in their eyes, these prisoners of war were not their prisoners at all, and they were not honorable.

Taking other people's captives to do propaganda, they feel shameless. It's just that these opposing Central Army leaders know that it is almost impossible to capture prisoners on a large scale like this.

After fighting the little devil for so long, they also know how stubborn the little devil is. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Eighth Route Army didn't dare to deceive the people about this kind of thing, they would have wanted to say 'impossible' when the good news was telegraphed.

In the eyes of some high-ranking officials of the Eighth Route Army, handing over the prisoners of war that these officers and men had worked so hard to capture to the Central Army was in itself a bit disrespectful to the fruits of the victory of the troops. The fact that so many prisoners were captured was in exchange for the bloody struggle of the officers and men of the troops.

But these high-level officials also understood that it was necessary to take into account the united front of the Anti-Japanese War and to give the national government, the commanding body, a little face. The most important thing is that when the government received this batch of prisoners of war, it also gave real money.

Therefore, as the matter of handing over prisoners of war came to an end, neither the Central Army nor the Eighth Route Army actually wanted to talk too much about it. Regarding the disposal of these prisoners of war, the Eighth Route Army did not ask much more.

At least in the eyes of Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu, there is also a Japanese major general in the independent column, and more than 1,000 healthy Japanese prisoners of war. Even if those who are receiving treatment now, as long as they recover by then, are they not their captives?

Even at the end of the negotiations, He Zhengdao, Zhou Enlai and Zuo Quan jokingly said: "Vice Chairman Zhou, Chief of Staff, have you the opportunity to ask our other friendly troops, do you want to buy a few prisoners of war as trophies?"

If anything, I can sell the rest of those little devil prisoners of war to them cheaper. As long as these little devils are disciplined well, even if they become servants or tenants in the future, it is still very good! ”

In this way, it naturally made Vice Chairman Zhou and Zuo Quan cry and laugh. Unexpectedly, later, the Jin Sui Army really exchanged some Japanese prisoners of war from the Eighth Route Army to exchange them for prisoners of war captured by the little devils.

At least for many troops, there are never too many prisoners of war. Even if the surrender of the remnants of the 12th Division this time provoked the fury of the Japanese army. But as He Zhengdao said, there will be more and more such captives in the future.

At the same time, when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached an agreement on the exchange of prisoners, both the North China Front and the Kwantung Army felt extremely humiliated. When did their prisoners of war become commodities for exchangeable benefits?

But what is even more a headache for the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army is the current Eighth Route Army, which is no longer a force that can be subdued by a few bombardments. What's more, with the increase in battles with the Eighth Route Army, they also know the difficulty of this army.

A joint bombing that was originally carefully planned ended up with unsatisfactory results. Compared with the North China Front, which had finally completed the bombing of Xi'an City, the Kwantung Army's bombing formation could be described as a great loss of face.

Nearly 100 sorties, except for the bombing of some cities managed by the independent column, they caused very little damage to Yulin. Paying such a heavy price really made them face up to the existence of the independent column.

If it weren't for the information they received from the Special High School later, they still killed some prisoners of war in the bombing, and even injured Hitomi Shuzo, a general who surrendered, it is estimated that they would feel even more embarrassed.

It's a pity that this information is just a smoke bomb deliberately thrown by He Zhengdao. In fact, after He Yingqin and his party left, he stepped down from the hospital bed and cooperated with Kozo Ikeno to manage the wounded prisoners of war.

Regarding the anti-war alliance that Kozo Ikeno and others joined, Higami Shuzo did not agree to participate. And his reply to He Zhengdao also seemed very reasonable, that is, he hoped to do something about these wounded Japanese soldiers.

In the face of the hesitation of seeing Xiusan, He Zhengdao also did not force anything, and said very calmly: "Yes!" There are some things that I say a lot, so you might as well see it yourself. At least I hope you'll wake up sooner rather than later.

As for the Japanese army's handling of you, I believe I don't need to emphasize anything anymore. This time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party handed over prisoners of war, and I respected your choice, and I hope you will not let me down. ”

Such a remark makes people unable to refute anything when they see Xiusan. At least he knew that He Zhengdao had left him behind just to organize this anti-war alliance. And this anti-war alliance was undoubtedly used to fight the Japanese army.

If he joins this organization, then in the eyes of the Japanese government and the military, he will truly be a traitor. For such a consequence, how can people not be cautious when they see Xiusan?

After dealing with these matters, He Zhengdao handed over the prisoners of war to the political workers sent by the central government. It's just that as far as He Zhengdao is concerned, his advice to these political workers is that prisoners of war who cannot be reformed ideologically should be reformed with labor.

Again, the materials of the Eighth Route Army are very valuable. He didn't want to use his precious supplies to feed a bunch of waste who only knew how to eat and drink Lazar. With this instruction, He Zhengdao believed that these prisoners of war would make a wise choice.

It was thought that the Japanese army, which was in a state of despair, would organize another large-scale bombing after the failure of the joint bombing operation. As a result, the Japanese side seemed to realize that the bombing of the Eighth Route Army was also ineffective and gave up.

However, according to the intelligence collected by the Eighth Route Army from the North China side, the North China Front stopped bombing the Eighth Route Army, and more importantly, their new commander had already taken office. Sugiyama Moto, an old devil, also went home to be questioned.

The two commanders of the North China Front Army were both planted in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. In response to such a situation, the newly appointed commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, finally chose to temporarily forbear, first understanding the strategy of the Eighth Route Army before making a move.

Faced with the current erosive situation in North China, Tada Jun also had a headache after taking office: "Yamashita Jun, why did the situation in North China become like this? Is the Eighth Route Army really so difficult to deal with? ”

'Your Excellency, the one-sided words and information may not be enough for you to understand the difference between this unit. But I want to say that this force really must be taken seriously, and if it does not move, it will hurt them.

At present, we only hold a few cities in Shanxi, and the commander of the Banhuan Division can only be said to have held on to our occupied areas there. As for many places bordering Shanxi, there are troops of the Eighth Route Army in action.

Most of the information we have collected from the government of China can only be used for reference, not for military deployment. This army is too accustomed to hiding, and it is also very troublesome to annihilate and strike.

Of course, in my opinion, the most important thing is that the strength of our front is too scattered. If we can bring back the troops that we fought in the south, and the troops brought by His Excellency the Commander, maybe we can change the situation.

But Your Excellency the Commander should know that the present war in the South does not allow us to draw our own troops. What we can rely on at the moment is the existing troops, as well as the new troops that the Empire will send in the future. ’

In contrast, Sugiyama Motozai held a welcoming ceremony and handed over the affairs of the commander to Tada. As the chief of staff of the North China Front, Yamashita Fengfumi still served as the chief of staff for the time being, and cooperated with Tada Jun to be in charge of the war in North China.

It was out of ignorance of the situation that Tada Jun ordered the cessation of air strikes on the side of the Eighth Route Army in Shaanxi. As a general who likes to 'plan before acting', Tada Jun knows that this will not form an effective blow to the Eighth Route Army.

What's more, they have already destroyed enough planes in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and if they destroy another batch, the North China Front Army will also fall into a situation where it is inorganic and usable. At this time, maintaining the status quo is undoubtedly the best option.

As for the Kwantung Army, although there is a desire for revenge. But the air force units assigned to them were more of a deterrent to the air forces of the Soviet Far East Army. If there is too much damage, the Kwantung Army will also have the upper hand in the struggle for air supremacy.

Faced with this situation, the North China Front, like the Kwantung Army, temporarily gave up its plan to continue bombing and retaliate. And this also gave the Eighth Route Army a valuable buffer time, which allowed them to prepare for military expansion behind enemy lines with peace of mind.

According to the decision of the Eighth Route Army, once the time is ripe, it will recover Taiyuan, Shanxi. As for the current Jin Sui army, although they finally held Linfen and other places where they retreated, their elite losses were too serious.

The most important thing is that compared with the previous life, the Jin Sui Army received strong support from the Central Army. Now that the rise of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Shaanxi has become the real dominant power in the Second Theater, Lao Jiang naturally does not attach so much importance to the Jin Sui Army.

The continuous battle also consumed a large number of personnel and material reserves of the Jin Sui army. In the face of the declining Jin Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army also felt that they could choose the right time to recover Taiyuan and really expand the base area.

As for Jin Suijun's words, as long as their strength is strong enough, I believe Yan Xishan will also understand what it means to be 'those who know the times are handsome'! (To be continued.) )
