Datong.

With the complete recovery of the Beijing-Tianjin area, in the afternoon of the same day, the 36th Group Army issued an order for all columns to rest for a day.

After so many days of intense fighting, everyone is relatively tired, and Zhang Yunfei and other senior commanders are generally soaked in the command headquarters these days, and now, they can also take a little rest.

After explaining some relevant matters to everyone, Zhang Yunfei, accompanied by two guards, walked out of the group army headquarters quickly, boarded an off-road vehicle, and headed to his home.

Taking advantage of the rest of the troops, Zhang Yunfei was ready to accompany Lin Yuxin and Jiang Xiaoying, some time ago, he was busy directing the battle, and there was very little time left for the two.

Zhang Yunfei enjoyed the warmth and happiness of home at home, but the "Voice of Datong" and "Datong Daily" and other media immediately reported this major victory in detail to the people of the whole country.

Immediately after the Datong media reported, many radio stations and newspapers throughout the country immediately reprinted it, and all of a sudden, the people of the whole country knew that the 36 th Group Army had won another major victory.

Internationally, many countries have also begun to pay attention to China and the rising 36 th Group Army, and many foreign media have also publicized and reported on this great victory of the 36 th Group Army.

In particular, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and other countries, whose current war is not going well, and whose anti-fascist tasks are still very heavy, and who have not yet seen the dawn of victory, the 36th Group Army annihilated more than 200,000 little devils in one go. It is as if these countries see hope.

In the next few days, the major newspapers in the country basically became sought-after goods, and the newspapers were launched. It was immediately snapped up by everyone, and major newspapers printed newspapers one after another. Still can't meet everyone's needs.

People in large, medium, and small cities across the country are all talking about this great victory, and even some well-informed people in some small towns and even rural areas are also aware of this major victory.

In the past few days, people talk about the most in the streets and alleys, tea houses and restaurants. is still the 36th Group Army, Zhang Yunfei's name is known to the old, weak, women and children.

After this great victory, in the hearts of the people of the whole country, Zhang Yunfei is definitely a famous anti-Japanese general and a national hero.

The "Voice of Datong" and the "Datong Daily" vigorously publicized the great victory in Beijing and Tianjin at the same time. Announcements were also made to begin open recruitment across the country.

In Beiping, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Zhangjiakou, and other places, a large number of conscription points will be set up to recruit soldiers for up to half a month, and young people with lofty aspirations will be welcomed from all over the country. Enthusiastic conscription.

At the same time, it also once again issued a call to welcome intellectuals from all over the country to come to the base areas of the 36 th Group Army, enter major factories and research institutes, serve the motherland, and do their part to resist Japan.

As these messages were sent, the whole country was suddenly in a state of great emotion, and quite a number of aspiring young people, intellectual personnel, and technical personnel, as well as some people who thought they had a skill, began to go to the base areas of the 36 th Group Army.

In order to make it easier for everyone to reach the base area smoothly, the 36 th Group Army prepared a large number of special trains on the Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road railways under its control, and let these people take the train free of charge to Datong, Taiyuan, Beiping, Tianjin, and other places.

Yan'an.

The telegram of the 36th Group Army had already been sent to the chairman, and seeing that the 36th Group Army had won such a great victory, the chairman, who was usually not surprised, also shouted "good" twice in a row, and his face was full of smiles.

In the afternoon of the same day, the three-person central military command group, composed of Chairman Gu Yue, Vice Chairman Wu, and the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, held a meeting. …,

At the meeting, Chairman Gu Yue raised the telegram in his hand and said happily: "Our Comrade Yunfei has given us another surprise, in less than a month, not only has he recovered the Beijing, Tianjin, and Tang regions, which are important places in North China, but has also annihilated more than 200,000 little devils in one fell swoop. ”

After speaking, Chairman Gu Yue took a puff of cigarette with great enjoyment, and it could be seen that he was in a very happy mood.

Vice Chairman Wu next to him was also happy, "Chairman, boss, this time the 36th Group Army not only fought such a great victory, but also captured an aircraft carrier, which really has to impress us." ”

"yes!" The commander-in-chief also sighed: "The last time our 18th Group Army recaptured Jinan, for us, it was a major victory for our Eighth Route Army since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but compared with this great victory of the 36th Group Army, our victory this time is much inferior. ”

The three of them discussed happily for a long time, and finally, Chairman Gu Yue readily approved the application report submitted by the 36th Group Army on the re-expansion of 10 infantry divisions.

On the same day, in the name of the central authorities, a telegram was sent to all armies and organs, publicly praising and commending the 36 th Group Army and Zhang Yunfei.

After receiving the telegram from the Central Committee, whether it was the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army or the underground party members engaged in underground work behind enemy lines, everyone was sincerely happy, and with this great victory, everyone seemed to see the dawn of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Chongqing.

Chairman Chiang was silent in his private residence, his brows furrowed, and another great victory of the 36th Group Army made Chairman Chiang's sense of crisis more and more serious.

"Shihe! Why do you think the 36th Army was able to win one big victory after another? Chairman Jiang looked depressed, and asked impatiently about Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard next to him.

Committee member Jiang asked this, as Lao Jiang's personal guard, of course he didn't dare to answer casually, Wang Shihe lowered his head and was silent.

On the contrary, Dai Li, the absolute confidant of the chairman of the National People's Congress and the director of the Military Command Bureau, opened the corners of his mouth several times, and stopped talking, but in the end he still did not say it, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Seeing Dai Li's expression, Chairman Jiang couldn't help asking, "Yu Nong, what do you have to say?" ”

Seeing Chairman Jiang asking, Dai Li pondered for a moment and said: "Chairman of the Committee, according to the investigation conducted by our Military Command Bureau in the past few months, we have found that the 36th Group Army has established a large number of factories in its base areas, and they are already capable of producing heavy weapons such as artillery, tanks, and aircraft. ”

"These weapons may be a few points more advanced than the weapons of small Japan, because in this way, relying on sophisticated and advanced weapons and equipment, the 36th Group Army has repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the little devils."

Hearing this, Lao Jiang's face was solemn, and the sense of crisis in his heart increased a little, and now, he didn't expect that the 36th Group Army would be able to produce such advanced weapons and equipment by itself.

Chairman Chiang thought that his nationalist region was economically backward, there was hardly a decent factory, and the supply of weapons for millions of troops basically depended on the aid of the United States.

It's really incomparable! Thinking of this, Chairman Jiang sighed helplessly, his face was declining, and he had a feeling that he was going downhill.

Chen Cheng, who was next to him, saw Chairman Jiang's expression and comforted: "Chairman of the Committee, our top priority is to raise our prestige as soon as possible and recover Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places as soon as possible. ”

That's it! Chairman Jiang thought secretly in his heart.

At present, those who participated in the attack on Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places are basically ready to launch an attack on the little devils. …,

There were nearly 100,000 little devils in Henan, and with a large number of little devils in Beijing, Tianjin, and other places being annihilated by the 36th Group Army, the total strength of the entire North China Front Army was only about 200,000, which was only half of what it used to be.

These 200,000 little devils are mainly distributed in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Xuzhou and other places, with Zhengzhou as the center, there are nearly 100,000 little devils in the surrounding cities, with Xuzhou as the center, within a radius of two or three hundred kilometers, there are also nearly 100,000 little devils, and the rest of the tens of thousands of little devils are mainly sporadically distributed, with brigades or wings as the scale, distributed in other cities.

In order to enhance his prestige in the hearts of the people of the whole country, Chairman Chiang ordered that from 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, the troops participating in the attack will launch attacks on the little devils in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang, and other places.

This time, more than 20 divisions, plus auxiliary personnel and troops, had a total number of more than 300,000, and the total number of troops was three or four times that of the little devils.

Lianyungang.

The large transport ship on which the commander of the North China Front Army, Nishio Shouzo, was on was ready to start docking, and in addition, there were two or three thousand little devils who escaped from Tianjin Port with Nishio Shouzo.

As for the other thousands of Japanese civilians, because they retreated first, they left the port of Tianjin before the planes of the 36th Army arrived, so these little Japanese also managed to escape from the port of Tianjin.

These thousands of little Japan, escorted by a few large transport ships and escorted by a little devil destroyer, are retreating to the Japanese mainland, and they may reach Japan in two or three days.

Nishio Shouzo stood on the deck, and behind him were a group of senior commanders of the little devils, including the chief of staff of the North China Front of the little devils, Nishio Shouzo looked at the Lianyungang Wharf that was getting closer and closer, and there was no sadness or joy on his face.

Perhaps, at this time, Nishio Shouzao was already dead or desperate, on the way to Lianyungang, Nishio Shouzao kept receiving telegrams, and the situation was getting worse and worse every time.

In particular, the 36th Group Army dispatched a large number of planes to blow up and sink almost all the steamers in the port of Tianjin, and Nishio knew that it would be difficult for his large number of troops in Tianjin to successfully retreat.
