Chapter 1000 Serious people, who fights with devils in the streets?

Northern Shaanxi.

The town of Qiulin.

Second Theater Commandant's Department.

Commander Yan Xishan had just finished washing his feet and leaned back in his chair, feeling very depressed.

When he thought that Taiyuan and Shanxi, the territories he had operated for decades, were occupied by the Eighth Route Army, he was angry and his chest hurt.

Yan Xishan, who was occupied by the Japanese army, did not feel so heartache in most of Shanxi.

Because Yan Xishan knew very well that Taiyuan and Shanxi were occupied by the Japanese, and he still had one day to recapture them.

Because the vast majority of ordinary people in Shanxi will never be of the same mind as the Japanese.

But the Eighth Route Army is different, wherever the Eighth Route Army goes, the people there will follow the Eighth Route with all their hearts.

I don't know what ecstasy soup the Eighth Route Army poured into the common people?

Even if it is death, you must follow the eight paths.

Even Chu Yunfei, the beloved general who he has always attached great importance to as his righteous son, betrayed him and joined the Communist Party to do eight ways.

Thinking of this, Yan Xishan sighed for a long time.

He was already extremely sensitive and suspicious, and now he looked at everyone as if he wanted to betray him.

In order to prevent the troops of the Jin Sui Army from being troubled by the Eighth Route Army, Yan Xishan has now withdrawn the main force from Luliang Mountain to Shaanxi.

At this moment, Adjutant Yang Aiyuan, who was wearing a straight dark gray military uniform, walked in briskly with a folder in his hand.

"Commander, just now at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the code telegraph was invented again."

Yang Aiyuan bent down slightly and reported respectfully to Yan Xishan.

"What did the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army say?"

Yan Xishan opened his eyes and asked with a moving expression.

"The new 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the troops of the Jizhong Military Region completely annihilated the 11th, 40th, and 56th Divisions of the Japanese Army in the Jinju area, killing the commander of the 11th Division, Lieutenant General Takashi Takamori, the commander of the 40th Division, Lieutenant General Seiichi Aoki, the commander of the 56th Division, Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe, and two major generals of the 11th Division."

Yang Aiyuan reported while handing the telegram in his hand to Yan Xishan.

The telegram that killed 3 devil lieutenant generals and 2 devil major generals was provided by Boss Chen.

After Li Yunlong received the information, he immediately forwarded it to the headquarters.

After receiving Li Yunlong's telegram, the headquarters immediately drafted it and sent a telegram in clear code to the whole country.

Yan Xishan's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this: "What are you talking about?" Annihilation of 3 Japanese divisions? Killed 3 division commanders and 2 brigade commanders? How many days has the offensive of the Eighth Route Army begun? ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Xishan took the telegram and read it.

"Commander, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army has just begun, and it has been less than 5 days......"

Adjutant and commander of the 6th Group Army, Yang Aiyuan, at this time, his expression and tone were also full of amazement.

He naturally understood the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

Yan Xishan, who read the telegram, was also a little speechless.

The strength and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army have become stronger again.

"How does the strength of our Jin Sui Army compare to the strength of these 3 Japanese divisions?" Yan Xishan asked worriedly.

Yang Aiyuan thought for a while, and then replied truthfully: "The Japanese army has two B divisions, plus a A division, these three divisions are the first-line elite troops of the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. ”

Although the Jin Sui Army has been reorganized, it has 14 divisions, including two cavalry divisions.

According to the establishment, the entire Jin Sui army should have 140,000 main forces.

But what is the situation of their own troops, Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan know better than anyone else.

There are also troops in the Jin Sui army that can fight, but most of the troops have problems such as empty salaries.

In addition, the American-style equipment and food promised to him by Lao Chiang have never been in place.

Coupled with the 358th Regiment and several other main regiments that defected to the Communist Party, the current combat effectiveness of the Jin Sui Army can only be described as being seen in the middle.

"So... If there is a conflict between our Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army, it will not take three days for the Eighth Route Army to destroy us? ”

Yan Xishan's expression became more and more gloomy.

"Almost..."

Yang Aiyuan's tone was helpless:

"Commander, according to the information from our intelligence officers lurking in Taiyuan Station, the current strength of the Eighth Route Army is very strong, it is said that there are more than 1,000 heavy artillery, 500 tanks, and the main force has reached 1 million."

Yan Xishan's pupils shrank: "1,000 heavy artillery pieces, 500 tanks? ”

"Yes." Yang Aiyuan continued, "It is said that the Eighth Route Army has recently established an aviation school, which has about 500 aircraft such as trainers, fighters, reconnaissance planes, bombers and transport planes. ”

Hearing this weapon and equipment data, Yan Xishan's eyes immediately turned red.

If these weapons and equipment are given to Yan Laoxi, North China will have the surname Yan from now on.

No wonder Chu Yunfei wants to join the Communist Party, even if he Yan Xishan, his heart is throbbing, and he also has an urge to join the Communist Party.

But in an instant, this idea was snuffed out by Yan Xishan.

He Yan Xishan didn't have the idea of joining the Eighth Route Army, once he joined the Eighth Route Army, the army, weapons and equipment, and the wealth accumulated over the years, all the people and the ointment of the people had to be handed over.

"Commander, with the strength of the Eighth Route Army now, it should not be difficult to defeat the Japanese and recover North China."

"It is even possible to recover the Northeast, Central China and South China occupied by the Japanese army."

Yang Aiyuan pointed to the map and said.

"That group of people fought really well, at the beginning, the central army and various local troops, hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded and intercepted, but they did not eliminate them, and now they have become the climate."

Yan Xishan nodded, and he also affirmed the combat ability of the Eighth Route Army:

"Now that the Eighth Route Army has received great assistance, and its strength has grown so fast that it is simply chilling, and even the fierce Japanese army is not an opponent."

"When the Japanese are driven away, the Eighth Route Army is afraid that it will be the world."

"Commander, what will we do with the Jin Sui Army then?" Yang Aiyuan said worriedly.

"Now, I can only take one step at a time." Yan Xishan shook his head, and then snorted coldly, "The chairman of the mountain city should be even more anxious than us, I'm afraid that I will scold Niang Xipi again." ”

……

As Yan Xishan expected.

After reading the clear telegram of the Eighth Route Army, Principal Chang of Shancheng did not see the expected scene of defeat for both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army.

So, Principal Chang lost his temper again and scolded Niang Xipi.

And wrote in his diary that the Japanese army is all pigs, and the Japanese army is all shit, and they are vulnerable.

The Eighth Route Army did not follow the order to attack the Japanese army in Central China, and the following was defeated.

The next day, Xinhua Daily published a report on the Eighth Route Army's total annihilation of three divisions and regiments of the Japanese army and the killing of five Japanese generals.

Time.

The people of the mountain city have taken to the streets to set off firecrackers to celebrate, which is more lively than the New Year.

Some high-quality young people have looked for channels to go to Yan'an and Shanxi to join the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army has won another wave of popular support.

Principal Chang ordered the "Central Daily" of the National Army to also reprint the relevant report, and said that the victory of the Eighth Route Army was achieved under the wise command of Principal Chang.

Some ordinary people who do not know the truth still believe it.

Principal Chang gave himself a perfect score for this wave of micro-exercises.

The Eighth Route Army fought, and its reputation was that of the national army.

The only thing that made Principal Chang unhappy and even a little scared was that the team of the Eighth Route Army was getting bigger and bigger, and according to the current situation, the Eighth Route Army would be able to finish all the battles with the devils.

After the battle of the Japanese army, there will be a battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

However, Principal Chang did not sit still, and kept asking his beautiful father for help.

Prepare for the civil war after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

……

Northern Henan.

The headquarters of the separate brigade of the new regiment.

"Captain, our scouts have been dispersed, as long as Sun Liangcheng and his puppet army troops enter northern Henan, we will receive the news immediately."

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong reported to Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei, who was wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, was full of smiles at this time.

The main force of the new 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the main force of the Jizhong Military Region had the good news of destroying the main force of the Japanese army of 3 divisions in the Jinju battlefield.

The independent brigade had already received it yesterday, and Chu Yunfei was so happy that he didn't sleep for half the night.

"To give full play to our advantages, in addition to sending scouts, we must also mobilize the common people, the militia and the guerrillas, whether it is a big road or a small road, all of them will be watched by me."

"This is the first combat mission that the regimental headquarters gave us an independent brigade."

"We have to do it to the letter."

Chu Yunfei's eyes narrowed, and his tone was fierce.

Like Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei hates traitors who have committed treason and defected to the enemy the most, and everyone will be punished.

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong's body stood up.

"Also, Captain, the Gaocun Airport has been completed and will be put into use in a few days."

After a pause, Fang Ligong reported again.

Gaocun Airport is an airport that has just been built by the New Independent Brigade of the First Regiment.

After the independent brigade gained a foothold in northern Henan, Li Yunlong issued an order to build the Gaocun airfield.

The airport was presided over by the new regiment sent sappers, Boss Chen's transport plane airdropped cement and other materials, and the independent brigade recruited workers nearby.

It took more than half a month to repair the airport, which can accommodate 70 aircraft, and can be expanded in the future.

At present, the independent brigade is operating in the Hebi area, and then Chu Yunfei is preparing to develop in the center of Henan Province, regain the lost territory, and squeeze the living space of the Central Army.

"Oh?"

Chu Yunfei's eyes lit up slightly:

"Immediately send the completion of the airport to the regiment headquarters, request food and materials, and also release a message to the people of Henan Province that our Eighth Route Army has food and can come to northern Henan to ensure that they will not go hungry."

Chu Yunfei has been looking forward to the relief of the victims for a long time.

This is a great cause worthy of enjoying the temple and becoming famous in history.

But.

The independent brigade of the new regiment was not the main force in the relief of the victims in Yu Province.

After all, the independent brigade of the new regiment had only been formed for a short time, and the total strength was only more than 10,000 people, and there were too many victims to keep busy.

It happened that the 129th Division was also going southward, and the headquarters handed over the main task of relieving the victims of the disaster in Yu Province to the 129th Division.

Li Yunlong led the troops to recover the lost territory and earn food, weapons and ammunition, and the 129th Division led by Division Commander Liu to develop southward.

The 129th Division relieved the victims while blocking the northward movement of the Japanese army in Central China.

The political commissar Qin on the side looked forward to it.

There is no shortage of food for the Eighth Route Army.

When this winter passes, the entire Henan Province will basically be the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

The people's will is the most important and rare thing.

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world.

After the tide recedes, the common people will finally know which army will have a future with them.

……

Left Guard Town.

Command of the North Road Attack Group.

"It is worthy of Li Yunlong, as soon as he makes a move, he will eat 3 Japanese divisions."

Kong Jie, deputy commander of the North Road Attack Group, read the clear-code telegram from the headquarters, and his face was full of expressions.

"In this battle, the new regiment and the Jizhong troops have eaten a total of 60,000 devils, and we have to work hard."

After a pause, Kong Jie looked at the commander-in-chief Ding Wei and said.

The high-ranking officers of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment on the side also had excited expressions.

"You think I don't want to?"

Ding Wei glanced at Kong Jie angrily and said:

"The old devil of Zhongze Sanfu was scared by our Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi and Datong, and he didn't dare to come out at all, what should we do to annihilate these 3 devil divisions?"

"That's just as well."

Kong Jie nodded:

"Devils are like turtles with shrunken heads."

The offensive of the attack group on the northern route was very smooth, and the forward troops were only a few kilometers away from the city wall of Zhangjiakou.

However, compared with the total annihilation of the three divisions of the Japanese army by the South Road Attack Group, the gap is visible to the naked eye.

"The devil doesn't want to fight with us in the streets of Zhangjiakou, right?"

Kong Jie's eyes narrowed slightly.

At present, the Japanese 1st Division, 26th Division and 71st Division are defending Zhangjiakou, with a total strength of about 40,000 people.

In the past few days of attack, the devils have killed thousands of people, and now the total strength of the devils is about 40,000.

If the troops of both sides were fighting street battles in the city of Zhangjiakou, the Eighth Route Army would probably have suffered about 40,000 casualties.

Both the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment suffered more than half of the casualties, and neither Ding Wei nor Kong Jie could afford this loss.

"Don't say it, it's really possible."

Ding Wei nodded and said:

"If the devil fights with us in Zhangjiakou, then we will bypass Zhangjiakou and go straight to Beiping and Baoding!"

Kong Jie's eyes lit up: "Lao Ding, this method is good, let's go directly to pick up the head of the village of Gangcun!" ”

In the field, with the strength of the Eighth Route Army, even if it is an offensive battle, the casualty ratio of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army can easily hit 1 to 5, or even 1 to 10.

But in the street fighting, the battle loss ratio between the two sides was close to 1 to 1.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie are not stupid.

Serious people, who fights with devils in the streets?

The reason why the new 1st Regiment and the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong could not bypass Baoding to attack Beiping was mainly because they were afraid that the devils would cut off logistics supplies, and the devils had a large number of troops, and they were likely to attack from the rear of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the North Road Attack Group faced not many devils on the first side, and after coming to the North China Plain, it was able to quickly converge with the main force of the new First Regiment without worrying about logistical supplies.

If the devils in Zhangjiakou dare to go out of the city and stab the chrysanthemums of the northern attack group of the Eighth Route Army.

Ding Wei's mouth was crooked.

"Have there been any ghost guerrillas attacking our logistical supply lines recently?"

Ding Wei looked at Kong Jie and asked.

Kong Jie said: "There are very few left, this time the devil guerrillas are a bit interesting, not only do they learn from our guerrillas in terms of clothing and weapons and equipment, but they also learn from us to contact the common people, and the people in many villages have been deceived." ”

The logistical supply of the northern attack group was mainly by rail.

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army was extremely well prepared, and even the troops that cooperated with the battle fought a rich battle.

In order to attack the logistics supply of the Eighth Route Army on Pingsui Road.

Yamamoto formed 25 Japanese guerrilla detachments, blended into the vast mountains, and imitated the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, waiting for opportunities to sabotage railways and ambush military columns.

At the beginning, it was true that the devil guerrillas succeeded a few times.

But to play guerrilla, the devil has to call Balu a grandfather.

What's more, this time, the one responsible for protecting Pingsui Road is the Jinchaji first-class military region troops.

Within a few days, the devil's guerrillas were destroyed one after another.
