Chapter 108: The base camp shakes

Today, the first update, ask for collection, ask for recommendation......

At the headquarters, after settling down a little, Zhang Yunfei ordered the signal corps to set up a radio station, and sent a report to the whole country in clear code, the 136th and 129th divisions of the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army, a total of more than 100,000 people, starting from December 5, after four days of fierce fighting, on December 8, Taiyuan was recovered, and the Taiyuan defenders of the Yue Army were completely annihilated, from the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Otsuka, a total of more than 30,000 people, and killed more than 10,000 people who were reinforced along Zhengtai Road.

Zhang Yunfei's radio wave immediately spread all over the motherland, and in the past few days, the high-level officials of the central government who have been paying close attention to the war, as well as the major newspapers and radio stations, have received the news.

** In Yan'an, the Kuomintang held a huge press conference in Chongqing, which was attended by hundreds of Chinese and foreign journalists, including some envoys and consuls stationed in China.

This battle can be said to be a great victory, the largest victory since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and even the victory of Taierzhuang cannot be compared with this great victory.

This time, not only did they recover the entire territory of Shanxi, but they also annihilated several generals of the little devils, and the number of the little devils eliminated was tens of thousands, which dealt a heavy blow to the little devils and greatly enhanced the confidence and determination of the people of the whole country to resist the war.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army commended Zhang Yunfei and his 136th Division throughout the army, and even the 129th Division also commended the whole army, and Zhang Yunfei's name once again resounded throughout the Eighth Route Army.

Although Chairman Chiang, who was far away in Chongqing, had been living an extremely difficult life recently, his troops were deep inland, and he could not receive any international support, most of the southwestern provinces controlled by the Kuomintang were barren land, and the tax revenue had been greatly reduced compared with before, and some troops had not been paid military salaries for several months.

Even so, when Chairman Chiang heard of this great victory, as if he had won a great victory, he carried out a great deal of propaganda, and took advantage of this to carry out large-scale recruitment of troops in several southwestern provinces in an attempt to restore the troops lost in the Battle of Wuhan.

Compared with the Chinese people's euphoria, Xiao Yue could have been said to be gloomy.

Needless to say, the small ghost army in China, the base camp far away in the local area was greatly shaken, and some radical officers of the Shaozhuang faction even jointly petitioned the emperor to lead troops to China to fight against Zhang Yunfei's troops.

Even some conservative soldiers felt that this time had disgraced the army, and they also condemned Okamura Ninji for his incompetence in command, and demanded that Okamura Ninji be removed from his post as commander of the North China Front.

The base camp even formulated a cherry blossom plan for Zhang Yunfei, and sent Miss Masami Sakai, known as the flower of spies, to Datong to assassinate Zhang Yunfei.

Taiyuan.

After sending the telegram, Zhang Yunfei took a short rest at the headquarters and, accompanied by several security personnel, got on an off-road vehicle at the entrance of the headquarters and went to the material warehouse in Taiyuan.

At present, the battlefield in Taiyuan City has been basically cleaned, and all the captured weapons and ammunition have been temporarily placed in the former material warehouse of the little devil.

However, the Taiyuan airport outside the city was seriously damaged, and the little devil brigade stationed at the airport resisted stubbornly, and then watched the Eighth Route Army attack the airport, and the little devils blew up most of the planes with explosives, and only seven or eight planes were spared.

In less than 20 minutes, Zhang Yunfei arrived at the material warehouse located in the city, which used to be the supply base of the entire Shanxi army, covering an area of dozens of acres, with high walls and barbed wire, and more than a dozen large warehouses inside.

When Zhang Yunfei arrived at the door, he saw the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were busy inside, and when he entered the material warehouse, he saw a lot of guns and ammunition piled up inside, and the doors of several warehouses were just open, and he could see that there were a lot of clothes and food inside.

Just as Zhang Yunfei was carefully observing around, a commander of the Eighth Route Army who was in charge of this place hurriedly ran over, stood upright in front of Zhang Yunfei, and shouted loudly: "Good chief, welcome to the chief." ”

Zhang Yunfei signaled the head of the regiment not to be too nervous and restrained, and then Zhang Yunfei asked kindly: "What things have we seized this time, you tell me." ”

"Yes, we have captured more than 40,000 Type 38 rifles, more than 1,000 crooked machine guns, more than 1,000 Type 92 heavy machine guns, more than 100 Type 60 mortars and Type 92 infantry guns, more than 3 million rounds of ammunition of various kinds, more than 20,000 shells, more than 20,000 sets of cotton clothes and quilts, and more than 1,000 tons of grain. Nearly two-thirds of these supplies were originally stored in this warehouse. ”

After listening to the report of the head of the regiment, Zhang Yunfei was also very surprised, he didn't expect that the little devil in Taiyuan still had a very thick background, and there were so many things.

It's a pity that most of these things have to be given to Yan Xishan, but since there are so many, even he didn't expect it, then Yan Laoxi definitely couldn't guess that some of these things could be left and part of them would be given to Yan Laoxi.

At present, the rest of the divisions of the Eighth Route Army are not rich, and in such a cold weather, many soldiers are still wearing shabby single clothes.

Sending some captured equipment not only helped the brother troops, but also established a good image of himself, and Zhang Yunfei was happy to do such a good deed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei said to the regiment commander with a straight face: "Move half of these weapons and ammunition to the open space in the western suburbs of the city, and transport all the rest of the materials back to Datong." ”

"Yes, I'm going to deliver the order."

Zhang Yunfei looked around in this material warehouse again, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, this time he attacked Taiyuan, it seemed that he had made enough money, Zhang Yunfei was happy to watch here for more than an hour before returning to the headquarters.

As soon as he returned to the command headquarters, Liu Xing, the leader of the special operations team, came back with a happy face, and said to Zhang Yunfei from a long distance: "Division commander, we have made a fortune this time and seized a lot of money and materials. ”

It turned out that not long after entering the city, Zhang Yunfei arranged a special task for Liu Xing, that is, Liu Xing led 100 special fighters and two companies of the guard battalion to seize all the capital-funded institutions in Taiyuan City, including banks, shops, foreign banks, etc., and all those related to him were all sealed, and all property was confiscated.

After receiving such a good task, Liu Xing took everyone happily a few hours ago, Zhang Yunfei just came back, Liu Xing also just finished the task, and handed it to Zhang Yunfei with a statistical list of seized materials.

Zhang Yunfei took several pages of statistical lists, Zhang Yunfei looked carefully, this list was very detailed, not only counted money, but also furniture, clothes, real estate, food, etc.

"Okay, transport all that can be transported back to Datong, it's inconvenient to transport away, we have what we don't need for the time being, and we will auction them off." Zhang Yunfei said happily.
