Chapter 1010: Who is a serious person who fights with the Japanese in the streets?

Northern Shaanxi.

Qiulin Town.

The Second War Zone Commander's Department.

Commander Yan Xishan had just finished washing his feet and was leaning back on the chair, feeling very depressed.

When he thought about Taiyuan and Shanxi, the areas he had managed for decades, being occupied by the Eighth Route Army, he felt so angry that his chest hurt.

Yan Xishan was not so heartbroken when the Japanese army occupied most of Shanxi.

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

Because the vast majority of 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 Army wholeheartedly.

I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup the Eighth Route Army poured into the people?

Even if it means death, we must follow the Eighth Route Army.

Even Chu Yunfei, his beloved general who he always valued highly as his adopted son, betrayed him and joined the Communist Party.

Thinking of this, Yan Xishan sighed.

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

In order to prevent the Shanxi-Sui Army troops from being harmed by the Eighth Route Army, Yan Xishan has now withdrawn the main force from Luliang Mountain to Shaanxi.

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

"Commander, just now at the Eighth Route Army headquarters, another coded telegram was invented."

Yang Aiyuan bent slightly and reported to Yan Xishan respectfully.

"What did the Eighth Route Army headquarters say?"

Yan Xishan opened his eyes and asked with a change of expression.

“八路军新一团和冀中军区部队，在晋州地区全歼了日军第11师团、第40师团和第56师团，击毙第11师团长鹰森孝中将、第40师团长青木成一中将、第56师团长渡边正夫中将，以及击毙第11师团的两名少将。”

While Yang Aiyuan reported, he handed the telegram in his hand to Yan Xishan.

The telegrams that killed three Japanese lieutenant generals and two Japanese major generals were provided by Boss Chen.

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

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

Yan Xishan suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this: "What are you talking about? Annihilating 3 Japanese divisions? Killing 3 division commanders and 2 brigade commanders? How many days has it been since the Eighth Route Army's offensive?"

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

"Commander, the Eighth Route Army's offensive has just begun, less than five days ago..."

The adjutant and commander of the 6th Group Army, Yang Aiyuan, had a look and tone of amazement at this time.

He had naturally experienced the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

After reading the telegram, Yan Xishan was also shocked and speechless.

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

"How does the strength of our Jinsui Army compare to the strength of these three Japanese divisions?" Yan Xishan asked with worried eyes.

Yang Aiyuan thought for a moment and then answered truthfully: "The Japanese army has two B divisions and one A division. These three divisions are the elite front-line troops of the Japanese army. Their combat effectiveness is very strong. Although our Shanxi-Sui Army is not weak either, But in a head-on confrontation, our Jinsui Army should not be able to defeat these three Japanese divisions."

Although the Jinsui Army has been reorganized and has 14 divisions, including two cavalry divisions.

According to the establishment, the entire Jinsui Army should have a main force of 14.

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

There are also troops in the Jinsui Army that can fight, but most of them have problems such as empty pay.

In addition, the American equipment and food promised to him by Chiang Kai-shek were never in place.

Coupled with the fact that several main regiments such as the 358th Regiment joined the Communist Party, the current combat effectiveness of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army can only be described as fair or not.

"So...if there is a conflict between our Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army will be able to destroy us in less than three days?"

Yan Xishan's expression became more and more gloomy.

"almost…"

Yang Aiyuan sounded helpless:

"Commander, according to the information from our intelligence personnel lurking in Taiyuan Station, the current Eighth Route Army is very powerful. It is said that it has more than 1 heavy artillery, 500 tanks, and the main force reaches 100 million people."

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

"Yes." Yang Aiyuan continued, "It is said that the Eighth Route Army has recently established an aviation school, with about 500 trainer aircraft, fighters, reconnaissance aircraft, bombers and transport aircraft."

Hearing this weapon and equipment data, Yan Xishan was immediately jealous.

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

No wonder Chu Yunfei wanted to join the Communist Party. Even Yan Xishan felt a throb in his heart and had the urge to join the Communist Party.

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

He, Yan Xishan, has no intention of joining the Eighth Route Army. Once he joins the Eighth Route Army, he will have to hand over all the troops, weapons and equipment in his hands, as well as the wealth accumulated over the years and the wealth and wealth he has harvested.

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

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

Yang Aiyuan pointed at the map and said.

"That group of people fought really hard. At the beginning, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Central Army and various local troops were chasing and intercepting them, but they failed to eliminate them. Now they have become a climate."

Yan Xishan nodded, and he also affirmed the Eighth Route Army's combat capabilities:

"Now that the Eighth Route Army has received significant assistance, its strength has grown so fast that it is simply chilling. Even the fierce Japanese army is no match for it."

"Once the Japanese are driven away, the Eighth Route Army will probably conquer the world."

"Commander, what will our Jinsui Army do then?" Yang Aiyuan said with worry in his eyes.

"Now, we can only take one step at a time." Yan Xishan shook his head, and then snorted coldly, "The chairman of the committee in Shancheng should be more anxious than us, fearing that he will scold Xipi again."

……

It was not what Yan Xishan expected.

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

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

He wrote in his diary that the Japanese soldiers were all pigs, that they were all shit and vulnerable.

The Eighth Route Army did not follow orders to attack the Japanese troops in central China in order to defeat the superiors.

The next day, "Xinhua Daily" published a report about the Eighth Route Army's complete annihilation of three Japanese divisions and the killing of five Japanese generals.

For a while.

The people in the mountain city took to the streets one after another and set off firecrackers to celebrate, which was more lively than the Chinese New Year.

Some high-quality young people are looking 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 National Army's "Central Daily News" to reprint the relevant report, and said that the victory of the Eighth Route Army was achieved under the wise command of Principal Chang.

Some people who don't know the truth still believe it.

Principal Chang gave himself a perfect score for this micro-operation.

When fighting against the Eighth Route Army, the honor belongs to the national army.

The only thing that makes Principal Chang unhappy and even a little scared is that the Eighth Route Army's ranks are getting stronger and stronger. If the current situation continues, the Eighth Route Army will be able to finish all the battles with the Japanese.

After the Japanese army is defeated, 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.

New regiment independent brigade headquarters. "Captain, our scouts have dispersed. As long as Sun Liangcheng and his puppet troops enter northern Henan, we will receive news immediately."

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong reported to Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei, who was wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, had a smile on his face.

The main force of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the main force of the Jizhong Military Region destroyed the main force of the Japanese army of three divisions on the Jinzhou battlefield.

The Independent Brigade had received it yesterday, and Chu Yunfei was so happy that he stayed up half the night.

"To give full play to our advantages, in addition to sending out scouts, we must also mobilize ordinary people, militiamen, and guerrillas to keep an eye on them all, whether they are big roads or small roads."

"This is the first combat mission given to our independent brigade by the regiment headquarters."

“We have to get it done to the letter.”

Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes and spoke harshly.

Like Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei hated traitors who betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy the most, and he was punished by everyone.

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong straightened 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 was just built by the Independent Brigade of the New Regiment.

After the Independence Brigade gained a foothold in northern Henan, Li Yunlong issued an order to build Gaocun Airport.

The airport was managed by engineers sent by the New Regiment. Boss Chen's transport plane dropped cement and other supplies, 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.

The independent brigade is currently operating in the Hebi area. Next, Chu Yunfei is preparing to develop into the center of Henan Province to regain lost ground and squeeze the living space of the Central Army.

"Oh?"

Chu Yunfei's eyes lit up slightly:

"Immediately send the completion status of the airport to the regiment headquarters and request food supplies. In addition, we can announce the news to the people in Henan Province that our Eighth Route Army has food and can come to northern Henan to ensure that they will not starve."

Chu Yunfei had been looking forward to rescuing the victims for a long time.

This is a great undertaking worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple and becoming famous in history.

but.

The independent brigade of the New Regiment is not the main force in relieving the victims of the disaster in Henan Province.

After all, the independent brigade of the new regiment had just been established not long ago, with a total strength of only more than 1 people, and there were too many victims to handle the task.

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

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

The 129th Division rescued the victims while blocking the Japanese troops in central China from moving north.

Political Commissar Qin on the side looked expectantly.

The Eighth Route Army has no shortage of food.

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

People's hearts and minds are the most important and rarest thing.

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

When the tide recedes, the common people will finally know which army to follow to have a future.

……

Zuowei Town.

North Road Attack Group Headquarters.

"As expected of Li Yunlong, he killed three Japanese divisions in one move."

Kong Jie, the deputy commander of the North Road Attack Group, read the clear telegram from the headquarters with an expression of satisfaction on his face.

"In this battle, the New Regiment and the Jizhong Army killed a total of 6 Japanese. We have to work hard."

After a pause, Kong Jie looked at Commander-in-Chief Ding Wei and said.

The senior officers of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment on the side also looked excited.

"You think I don't want to?"

Ding Wei glanced at Kong Jie angrily and said:

"This old Japs, Sanfu Zhongze, was so frightened by our Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi and Datong that he didn't dare to come out at all. What can we do to annihilate these three Japs divisions?"

"That's true."

Kong Jie nodded:

"The Japanese are just like turtles with their heads down."

The offensive of the North Road Attack Group went very smoothly, and the forward troops were only a few kilometers away from the city wall of Zhangjiakou.

But compared with the South Road Attack Group's complete annihilation of three Japanese divisions, the gap is visible to the naked eye.

"Aren't the Japanese going to start a street fight with us in Zhangjiakou?"

Kong Jie narrowed his eyes slightly.

Currently defending Zhangjiakou are the Japanese 1st Division, 26th Division and 71st Division, with a total strength of approximately 4 people.

In the past few days of attacks, the Japanese have killed thousands of people, and now the total strength of the Japanese is about 4.

If the troops from both sides fought in the streets of Zhangjiakou, the Eighth Route Army would probably suffer about 4 casualties.

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

"Don't tell me, it's really possible."

Ding Wei nodded and said:

"If the Japanese start a street fight with us in Zhangjiakou, then we will bypass Zhangjiakou and go straight to Peiping and Baoding!"

Kong Jie's eyes lit up: "Old Ding, this is a good idea. Let's go directly to pick the heads in Gangcun!"

In a field battle in the wild, with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, even in an offensive battle, the casualty ratio between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army can easily be 1:5, or even 1:10.

But in street fighting, the damage ratio between the two sides was close to 1:1.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie are not stupid.

Who is a serious person who fights with the Japanese in the streets?

The reason why the New Regiment and the Jizhong Eighth Route Army could not bypass Baoding and attack Peiping was mainly because they were afraid that the Japanese would cut off logistical supplies, and because the Japanese had so many troops that they would probably launch an attack from behind the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

The North Road Attack Group firstly faced not many Japanese, and secondly, after arriving on the North China Plain, it could quickly join the main force of the new group without worrying about logistical supplies.

If the Japs in Zhangjiakou dare to go out of the city and poke the chrysanthemums of the Northern Attack Group of the Eighth Route Army.

Ding Wei's mouth was crooked in laughter.

"Have there been any Japanese guerrillas attacking our logistics supply lines recently?"

Ding Wei looked at Kong Jie and asked.

Kong Jie said: "There are very few of them anymore. This time the Japanese guerrillas are a bit interesting. Not only do they imitate our guerrillas in their clothing and weapons and equipment, but they also imitate us in contacting the common people. The common people in many villages have been deceived." "

The logistics supply of the North Route Attack Group is mainly railway.

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

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

Yamamoto formed 25 Japanese guerrilla groups, mixed into the vast mountains, and imitated the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, waiting for opportunities to destroy railways and ambush military columns.

In the beginning, the Japanese guerrillas were indeed successful several times.

But when playing guerrillas, the Japs have to call the Eighth Route Army "Grandpa".

What's more, the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei First Level Military Region were responsible for protecting Pingsui Road this time.

Within a few days, the Japanese guerrillas were destroyed one after another.
