The 51st Army successfully regained Jingcheng, and the major media rushed to report it, citing it as another unprecedented victory since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and even the old man in Chongqing personally sent a congratulatory telegram to congratulate him.

But Xu Shiyou couldn't be happy, this battle was not happy.

Why did the 22nd Division of the Devil inexplicably abandon such an important strategic and resource point as Jingcheng.

Moreover, before the retreat of the 22nd Division of the Devils, it carried out extensive damage to the Jingcheng Coal Mine, and even ignited the underground coal seams in the two most important mining areas, which Xu Shiyou did not expect.

Xu Shiyou had no choice but to order the sappers to venture into the mine and blow up the mine closest to the burning coal seam to seal the burning coal seam.

The 51st Army was holding back its strength to fight a big victory, especially Li Yunlong's 301st Division, which was equipped with a full set of American weapons and equipment, but it was useless, and only two turrets were withdrawn, and the two turrets were successfully defeated with the assistance of the B-17 bomber formation, which was aggrieved.

However, Xie Tian was very satisfied with this result, and he took Zhao Gang, Wu Wenhua and others to Jingcheng to inspect.

Xie Tian summoned cadres at and above the 51st Army level to sum up the gains and losses of this campaign, commended all units participating in the battle, and made strategic arrangements at the same time.

After taking Jingcheng, the PLA is now facing the vast Great Plain of North China, and its strategy and tactics need to be greatly adjusted.

The task given to the 51st Army by Xie Tian was to consolidate the occupation of Jingcheng and not leave a chance for the devils to counterattack.

The troops also need to recuperate, and food, grass and ammunition need to be replenished for a period of time.

The production scale of the Taiyuan Arsenal has been expanded three or four times, and it is still unable to supply the ammunition demand at the front, and while continuing to expand production capacity, it will also take a production period of one or two months to meet the war consumption of the next major campaign.

As soon as the guns rang out, there were 10,000 taels of gold.

It's all money that comes out of the muzzle of the gun.

What's more, Xie Tian's pursuit is absolute suppression of firepower, the newly developed weapons are all rapid-fire, and even the aerial bombs are cluster bombs, and throwing this one down is equivalent to throwing out dozens of gold bars, such a high consumption is really not consumed by Xie Tian, who is good at extortion.

The Germans, who occupied almost all of Europe, did not dare to consume ammunition in such luxury, used cheap poison gas when killing the Jews, and even simply blockaded the city and let the inhabitants of the city starve to death.

This is completely different from Xie Tian's people-oriented thinking.

To consolidate the occupation of Jingcheng, the tactics deployed to the 51st Army by Xie Tian were still the old methods.

Dig tunnels.

At each strategic point, a network of tunnels must be built that can support long-term operations.

There are miners in the wells, which happens to be what the miners do best, and they can mobilize miners and warriors to build this tunnel defense network together.

Xie Tian personally sat in Jingcheng and deployed for three days, and did not return to Taiyuan in a hurry until he received a call from Pang Yuan.

Have you ever seen someone who won a battle and was removed from his post and investigated?

Today I have seen it, and it is really special to live and see it for a long time.

Xie Tian returned to Taiyuan angrily, went straight to the Yan Mansion, and asked when he got out of the car: "Where is General Fu Zuoyi?" ”

Hou Wenwen, the director of the reception office, hurriedly trotted to take Xie Tian to the residence arranged by Pang Yuan for Fu Zuoyi, and reminded in a low voice: "Commander-in-chief, Director Pang and Mr. Shen Xiang Shen are inside. ”

Xie Tian raised his eyebrows: "What is he doing here?" ”

Hou Wenwen naturally knew who Xie Tian was referring to, and hurriedly replied: "It was Director Pang who invited Mr. Shen over." ”

Xie Tian nodded and strode into the courtyard, he knew that if Pang Yuan invited Shen Xiang, then there must be a reason.

Hou Wenwen stood outside the courtyard gate for a while, and watched Xie Tian walk to the door of the house and report to himself: "Commander-in-Chief Fu, Xie Baoqing is here to visit." ”

Hou Wenwen knew that there was nothing to do with him, and what would happen next was not something he should know, so he hurriedly turned around and left.

The three people who were chatting in the room heard Xie Tian's voice outside the door and stood up and greeted the door, Fu Zuoyi walked the fastest, walked to the door first and opened the door, looked at Xie Tian outside the door and glanced at it quickly, and immediately saluted Xie Tian with a smile, stretched out his hands and said with a hearty smile: "I finally saw Commander-in-Chief Xie, Fu first wants to thank Commander-in-Chief Xie for drawing his sword and helping my Seventh Army to recover Datong smoothly." ”

Xie Tian and Fu Zuoyi shook each other's hands, shook vigorously, stared at Fu Zuoyi and asked, "Brother Fu, I heard that Yan Xishan is going to transfer you back to the Second Theater Command as the deputy commander-in-chief?" ”

Fu Zuoyi is forty-nine years old this year, much older than Xie Tian, Xie Baoqing, and more than ten years older than Pang Yuan and Shen Xiang.

Fu Zuoyi laughed and said: "The Seventh Army regained Datong, I made meritorious contributions, and Commander-in-Chief Yan rewarded me with a promotion for meritorious deeds. ”

Xie Tian asked with a straight face: "Brother Fu is also the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army?" ”

Fu Zuoyi said with a smile: "General Yan appointed Zhao Shoushou to take over as commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army. ”

Xie Tian smiled coldly: "Mingsheng and secretly descended, both eating peaches and rejecting dissidents, Yan Xishan is really a good means." ”

The deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Theater appointed by Yan Xishan to Fu Zuoyi is quite big, and it seems to be monstrous, but if Fu Zuoyi no longer serves as the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army, it will be tantamount to being overshadowed by Yan Xishan.

There is no military power in his hands, and a deputy commander-in-chief has a fart use, but he is just a character who sits on a cold bench, just think about the position of the deputy commander-in-chief He in the tenth theater of thanks.

Moreover, with the relationship between Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi, Yan Xishan could not be as lenient as Xie Tian treated Fu Zuoyi as Xie Tian treated Deputy Commander-in-Chief He, and he could find a reason to put Fu Zuoyi in the cold palace in the future.

In fact, this pit was dug by Xie Tian for Fu Zuoyi, if it weren't for the fact that he directly gave Fu Zuoyi a combat mission in the name of the Jinji camp, even if Yan Xishan disagreed with Fu Zuoyi, he would not have set up Fu Zuoyi.

Since Xie Tian had said it so bluntly, Fu Zuoyi couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, he shook Xie Tian's hand and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xie, Fu Tian's gains and losses are not worth mentioning, the key is that we have recovered Datong, and the Seventh Army has also begun to gain vitality." If my transfer can be beneficial to the brothers of the Seventh Army and to the overall situation of our War of Resistance, I Fu Zuoyi will be willing. ”

"Ah, fart, the birds hide their bows, the rabbits die and the dogs cook, I really don't know how much you eat to think of something like this that kills the donkey."

Pang Yuan on the side rolled his eyes at Xie Tian with a black line: "Xie Baoqing, you are now the commander-in-chief of the Tenth War Zone, can you go through your mind before speaking?" ”

Damn, I know that you love to scold, can you not scold people so damn scolding?

What's more, the person you are scolding now is the commander of the Second War Zone, and his brother is still standing next to me, if your words reach his ears, Yan Laoxi will not be able to come to Taiyuan to fight with you?
