Chapter Ninety-Nine: Emergency State of Martial Law!
After receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, Taizu and others, who were far away in Yan'an, undoubtedly seemed very happy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe smooth recovery of Zhangjiakou has expanded the puzzle of the Eighth Route Army in the northern liberated areas.
But what made Taizu and others even happier was the total annihilation of the Japanese troops withdrawn from Zhangjiakou by the Third Infantry Division. Although the 3rd Infantry Division paid thousands of casualties, compared to the destruction of tens of thousands of Japanese troops, this loss was acceptable to them.
Most importantly, while annihilating this breakthrough Japanese army, the 3rd Infantry Division also successfully captured the high-ranking officials of the puppet Mongolian government, such as the King of Germany. These people still play a very huge role in the Eighth Route Army.
In addition, what made Taizu and others most happy was undoubtedly the capture of this battle. Not to mention the supplies of a large number of Japanese troops, just the little devil left Zhangjiakou and carried a large amount of wealth, which is worthy of celebration by the headquarters.
Although King De and others are officials of the puppet government, they are also a government, and the wealth they have accumulated in Zhangjiakou has also been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army this time. With this money, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the financial pressure on the central government.
Even Zhou Enlai, who received the telegram, said urgently: "Chairman, shall I go in person?" Those funds must be escorted back as soon as possible. In addition, I will bring good news to that kid! ā
Hearing that Zhou Enlai took the initiative to ask for help, Taizu thought for a while and said, "It's okay!" This time, they are playing very well on the front line, and we should all say it. If you go over, on behalf of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, please go to the front line to express your condolences to the officers and men of the front-line troops!
It's just that it's relatively close to the front line, so you still have to be more careful along the way. Although it is already our liberated area, after all, it is a newly opened up area, and the personnel situation is relatively complicated. ā
'Yes, thank you, Chairman! This time, I will bring the saber men with me, and another company will be drawn from the guard division. With their protection, I believe that as long as you don't meet a large number of little devils, your safety is still guaranteed. ā
As one of the three giants of the Eighth Route Army, Zhou Enlai's travel is undoubtedly a big deal. Fortunately, when He Zhengdao set up the saber special combat team, he specially reserved a special combat team member of a detachment in Yan'an.
Every time a chief goes out, the saber special combat team will be close to him. And the guard division will also send elite escorts to guard. It can be said that with such a team of bodyguards, the travel of the chiefs has also become safer.
If in the past, some leaders were not accustomed to this kind of support, then with the implementation of this security system, some leaders have gradually understood this benefit. After all, once they make any mistakes, the blow to the Eighth Route Army will be very huge.
As the head of the intelligence department of the Eighth Route Army, Zhou Enlai's importance in the Eighth Route Army is self-evident. This time, he personally went to the front line to express his condolences to the front-line officers and soldiers on behalf of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, which was also a great affirmation and encouragement to He Zhengdao's department.
And the good news that Zhou Enlai said, He Zhengdao is not clear at present. Originally, after learning the news, Taizu felt that he should call He Zhengdao as soon as possible. It's just that his opinion was stopped.
While the Yan'an side was happy to recover Zhangjiakou, the North China Front and the Kwantung Army were extremely angry and helpless. The anger was naturally Mei Xianzhi Miro, who felt that he had lost Zhangjiakou, not to mention, but also lost an elite army.
Helpless was Okamura Ninji, whose attempt to disrupt the rhythm of the Eighth Route Army's offensive failed. No one expected that He Zhengdao had been hiding a main division near Zhangjiakou, and the Japanese army that broke through was planted in it.
Not to mention the total annihilation of the garrison, even several figures who were very important to the Japanese army were also captured by the Eighth Route Army. Such a situation was undoubtedly another operational defeat for the Kwantung Army and the North China Front.
Although this time, the North China Front did not suffer any losses. But in the long run, Okamura Ninji also suffered a lot of losses. This also caused Okamura Ninji to feel that he had to do more to deal with the Japanese army in Chengde.
Considering that there are not many troops deployed around Beiping at present, the only reserve in the hands of General Okamura Ninji was also sent to the Miyun area. Ready to meet the Japanese troops withdrawn from Chengde.
Not long after this infantry brigade departed from Beiping, He Zhengdao received the news. Seeing this action of the North China Front, He Zhengdao was also more convinced that the little devil wanted to pick up the Japanese army in Chengde.
Thinking of this, He Zhengdao also quickly said: "Send a telegram to the Eastern Hebei Army Division, and ask them to send some additional main forces to put pressure on the North China Front." I'd like to see what choice Okamura makes about him.
In addition, a telegram was sent to the 3rd Cavalry Division and the 35th Army, asking them to organize elite troops and start attacking the Langfang area. Secondly, a telegram was sent to the 3rd Infantry Division, so that they could begin to advance towards Yanqing. ā
Listening to the combat order issued by He Zhengdao, Ye Jianying also smiled and said, "Commander, you are going to surround on three sides!" ā
'Nice! I just want Okamura Ninji to know that he is now a dish in my bowl. At this time, it is not good to look at the home and nursing home, and I want to support others. Then don't blame me for being rude! ā
When these words caused everyone in the headquarters to laugh, He Zhengdao's eyes saw the Chifeng area again. When the 3rd Infantry Division surrounded and annihilated the Zhangjiakou garrison, the 1st Infantry Division, which entered the Chifeng area, finally launched an attack again.
After receiving an urgent telegram from Chifeng, Mei Zhimeilang was also very surprised and said: "Na! In the Chifeng area, a large number of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were found? Why didn't our troops notice it at all? ā
In just one night, the 1st Infantry Division captured several county towns bordering the Xilin Gol League. These county towns are naturally also very important strategic frontier towns for the Kwantung Army.
But even so, the Japanese puppet army stationed in these counties did not resist for too long, and they would attack the ferocious infantry division and take it. And the Kwantung Army also knew that the fact that these county towns would be lost so quickly this time was also related to the firepower of the 1st Infantry Division.
Looking at Mei Xianzhi Miro, who was angry, the intelligence officer also said helplessly: "General, although we have a lot of troops deployed in the Chifeng area, the area there is too large and the population is relatively sparse.
Even the defenders of each city will send patrols to patrol everywhere every day. But it is not easy to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army that is intentionally hidden in a large area.
Compared with the surprise attack of the Eighth Route Army, I am more worried about the firepower exposed by the Eighth Route Army this time. According to the telegram sent by the Linxi garrison, the Eighth Route Army used a large number of heavy artillery when attacking Linxi City.
It can be seen that this Eighth Route Army unit that infiltrated Chifeng is the real elite of the Eighth Route Army. The most important thing is that with the occupation of these counties, even the Tongliao area is likely to become their next target! ā
Just when the intelligence officer made this analysis and judgment, a staff officer rushed into the headquarters in a panic and said: "General, there is an urgent call from Ji Province!" Yang Jingyu's Department of the Anti-Japanese Federation captured Mengjiang City the night before. ā
'Yaga! How can it be? Hasn't the Anti-United Nations been wiped out by us? ā
Mei Xianjimeilang, who was a little angry, looked at the telegram sent by Kyrgyzstan Province, and really looked a little angry. Compared with places like Chifeng and Chengde, Ji Province is the real core ruling area of their Kwantung Army.
But in this kind of place that is regarded as the base camp of the rear, there is a county town that has been captured by the Anti-Japanese Federation. Most importantly, this telegram has only arrived today. This shows how incompetent the garrison on the Kyrgyzstan side is.
After all, it was almost two days before a county town was beaten down before they found out about this kind of thing. I have to say that such a situation makes Mei Xianji Miro feel that the Kwantung Army under his command has become a little incompetent?
After reading the telegram sent by the Ji Provincial side, it said that the number of the anti-coalition troops that captured the Mengjiang River reached several thousand. The most important thing is that the equipment and appearance of this unit are also very different from those of the previous Anti-Japanese Union.
The intelligence officer, who also saw this telegram, immediately said: "General, this rebel force must be eliminated. Earlier, we organized a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation in Kyrgyzstan Province, but we did not find the whereabouts of this unit.
Now that they suddenly appeared, they were fully equipped with weapons and clothing, and it was basically possible to judge that they should have a connection with the Eighth Route Army. Even the weapons and materials they have now are provided by the Eighth Route Army.
If this force is not exterminated as soon as possible, Ji Province is afraid that there will be no peace forever. Compared with the Eighth Route Army currently in Rehe, I think this force is more destructive. In addition, it is necessary for us to strengthen the personnel investigation of the whole Northeast! ā
Listening to the intelligence officer's analysis, Mei Ji Miro also slowly calmed down from his previous anger. As the intelligence officer said, the current fighting in Rehe seems to be fierce, but in fact it will not break their bones.
Keji Province is different, it is the core control area of the Kwantung Army, which is related to the stability of the rear of their entire Kwantung Army. If we don't exterminate this anti-coalition force with increased numbers and combat effectiveness as soon as possible, it will really cause a big mess.
Thinking of this, Mei Xianji Miro also immediately said: "Order the Kwantung Army troops stationed in Ji Province to immediately organize elite troops to encircle." This time, even if these rebels flee into the mountains, they must be resolutely eliminated by me.
This time, send a telegram to the defenders of Mukden and ask them to strengthen the investigation of each city and each outpost. If I find an unknown person, I grant them the right to dispose of them on the spot. In addition, let the government of Mukden also step up publicity.
Civilians who dared to come into contact with the Eighth Route Army were severely punished. The garrison units in various localities have all entered a state of combat readiness. As for when they will be de-read, it will depend on when they will be able to deal with these damn rebels next! ā
For the two places ordered by Mei Xianjimeilang, Mukden and Ji Province entered a state of martial law. That also means that the Kwantung Army is once again standing in front. For many people in the Northeast, I am afraid that they will fall into another round of dire situation! (To be continued.) )
