Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

As for the Daqingshan garrison brigade, the establishment remains unchanged.The scope of its strategic defense has expanded to the front line of Baotou to guard against the enemy and puppet forces in eastern Mongolia.After the entire territory of Suiyuan was recovered, the reconnaissance brigade returned to the Yulin base for rest and reorganization.

The first and second cavalry divisions, in addition to supplementing the casualties of the cavalry, transferred the first regiment of the first division and the third regiment of the second division to form the third cavalry division.The commander of the third cavalry division, after being studied by the party committee of the column, will be reported to the central government and the headquarters for appointment.

All the political commissars of the border areas focus on restoring the people's livelihood and economy in the base areas, and restore the local people's livelihood and public security to the greatest extent possible.At the same time, order the engineering troops to start building the road from Suiyuan to Yulin. "

After a series of telegrams were sent out, He Zhengdao said in a timely manner: "Report the victory to the Central Committee and the headquarters, and inform our department that the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese Army has been wiped out, and its commander, Major General Takimoto Ichima, will be killed soon. Recover the entire territory."

Accompanied by the good news sent early in the morning, Mao Taizu, who had just woken up, looked at the excited secret officer, and said with a smile, "What good news? Seeing you like this, it should be a good news from the front line, right?"

'yes!Chairman, I just received a telegram from Commander He of the Independent Column that the Ninth Brigade of the Little Devil stationed in Suiyuan was wiped out by us last night.The brigade leader of the little devil was also shot dead by us. '

'oh!So fast!I thought it would take two more days for this good news.Unexpectedly, the speed of the independent column is fast enough! '

When Mao Taizu was happy for this good news, Mr. Zhu and others from the Eighth Route Army headquarters were also happy for this matter.Looking at Chief of Staff Zuo Quan's smile, the two of them also felt that there were a lot of happy events recently.

When he came to the combat headquarters and looked at the battle map hanging, Boss Peng also smiled and said: "Although Baotou City and Guisui City have not been taken yet, the little devils in these two cities are also grasshoppers after autumn." , It won't take long to jump.

After regaining Suiyuan, our war zone bordering the little devil has also expanded several times, and the challenges that the independent column will face in the future are not small.But no matter what, being able to regain Suiyuan is indeed something to be happy about! "

'yes!Last year, the independent column recovered Suiyuan. Due to the strength of the troops and other factors, He Zhengdao finally made a plan to abandon Suiyuan.In just one winter, we captured Suiyuan again. I think the little devil must be very annoyed.

In the area of ​​Suiyuan alone, the independent column wiped out tens of thousands of little devils.Right now, their defense zone is already bordering the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army. I think these places will be raging again this summer! '

Hearing Boss Zhu's words, Zuo Quan also smiled and said, "Commander-in-Chief, even if we don't regain Suiyuan, the little devils will sweep us up this summer. Now that Suiyuan is recovered, we have a lot of room to move." up.

According to the information we have learned, the newly appointed commander of the North China Front, Sugiyama Moto, has proposed that the Kwantung Army go south to strengthen the Jing'an issue in North China.At that time, it is estimated that the Kwantung Army will be in charge of Suiyuan.

But no matter what, He Zhengdao must have expected these situations.As long as you prepare properly, I believe it will not be easy for the Kwantung Army to recapture Suiyuan.It's just that this year in Suiyuan, it is estimated that the war will continue! "

"Little Devil spends a day in China, it is definitely impossible to live a peaceful life.In any case, after regaining Suiyuan, our strategic depth has been lengthened a lot.In addition to the currently recovered counties in the northwest, it is not so easy for the little devils to encircle and suppress us.

In this winter offensive, in addition to the independent column, which can be regarded as pulling out of the house to fight, the newly expanded recruits of the rest of our main division have been tempered.At that time, the Japanese army will really launch a siege, and we may be able to catch the little devil by surprise.

Most importantly, we now have solid anti-Japanese bases behind enemy lines in Eastern Hebei, Jinchaji and Jinluji.If the little devils want to encircle and suppress us, it depends on how many troops they can pull out at that time.

What's more, they are now focusing on Xuzhou and other places.If you don't end the battle with the Central Army, if you want to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress us, it may be difficult for the little devils.In the final analysis, the little devil's battle line was too long, and finally there was a problem with the strength of the troops. '

Compared with Zuo Quan and Boss Zhu's worries about the upcoming war this year, Boss Peng still feels full of confidence.At least in his opinion, the current development situation of the Eighth Route Army is very optimistic, and the expansion of various units is very rapid.

And after this series of battles, the combat effectiveness of each main division has been tempered and strengthened.The artillery regiment directly under the expansion of the headquarters before now has artillery regiments directly under the division in the 120th and 129th divisions.

Through the capture of the battlefield, the 75-caliber mountain artillery, which was very scarce for the Eighth Route Army in the past, has also begun to be installed in the main division of the Eighth Route Army.As for the [-]nd infantry artillery, basically every division is equipped with it now.

In addition to the relative scarcity of shells, at least the guy is several times higher than before.Such a situation is very welcome to Boss Peng.I even look forward to what kind of development the army will have this year.

At least in the hearts of many commanders of the Eighth Route Army, they still don't have much hope for the current cooperation between the two parties.Differences in political views will inevitably affect further cooperation between the two parties in the future.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Boss Peng still felt that it would be better to expand the troops.In this case, if the Central Army really turns its face in the future, the Eighth Route Army will not suffer too much.

While beating little devils to practice internal strength, while quietly accumulating strength, this is the current development strategy of the Eighth Route Army.As for the ten main divisions on the surface, many commanders of the Eighth Route Army did not take it seriously.

In the words of Mao Taizu, accepting the reorganization of the national government is more about a legal name of anti-Japanese.If, as the national government said, the expansion of the main division is stopped after the expansion of the main division, then it is really a fool.

While the central government and the headquarters were rejoicing at the good news, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Datong City also felt that their end was coming.Compared with the little devil who swears to live and die with Datong, the puppet army in the city is very popular.

In the past few days, the little devils have begun to reduce their food supply, making many puppet soldiers feel that they are going to be abandoned.Under such circumstances, some puppet soldiers who did not want to be buried with the little devil also began to think about whether to revolt on the battlefield.

It's just that these puppet troops are still somewhat afraid of the little devils who command them.Even if they were a little small in their hearts, they still didn't dare to come out casually, for fear of being stunned by the little devil.

The puppet soldiers who got up early in the morning looked at the porridge that could almost see how many grains of rice were delivered, and complained somewhat: "Why are you drinking porridge again today? This porridge is much thinner than yesterday's. This Are you still letting people live?"

'What do you say?At present, the food reserves in the city are insufficient, and they can only be supplied in limited quantities.There is no need to fight, and eating too much is a waste of food.When your service is needed, the higher authorities will naturally feed you. '

Even though the junior Japanese officers in charge of supervising them looked down on these puppet troops, they knew that there were still a relatively large number of puppet troops in the city at this moment.Compared with reducing the food for soldiers, the food for officers of the puppet army is still better.

Of course, the so-called better is that, like other Japanese soldiers, there is only one rice ball for a meal.Even if some officers complained, they knew that compared with the soldiers they commanded, they could eat a little dry food anyway.

Just as the breakfast was still making the puppet army complain, there were piercing whistles in the city.The Japanese commander in charge of commanding the puppet army quickly said: "The troops are assembled and ready to fight!"

As a result, many puppet soldiers still lazily said: "If we haven't eaten enough food for a few days, then we have the strength to fight. If we want us to contribute, let us have enough food first. Otherwise, we will not leave the barracks!"

When one puppet army took the lead, the rest of the puppet army naturally followed suit.Faced with the strong protests and dissatisfaction of these puppet troops, the Japanese military officers who commanded them were naturally outraged.

But they also know that these puppet troops are like this.It is clear when a request should be made.If they want to contribute to defending the city, if they don't give them a full meal, they probably won't be able to command them.

Although it is possible to catch a few people to come out as a model, to scare these timid puppet soldiers who are afraid of death.But the Japanese soldiers who manage these puppet troops know that if they really want to push these guys into a hurry, these people will still cause them a lot of trouble! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Looking at the Eighth Route Army, which was only stationed outside Datong City two days ago, it has finally placed the attacking troops outside the city.The commander of the Japanese army in Datong, who was informed of the news, looked at the Eighth Route Army that surrounded Datong, and understood that this time the Eighth Route Army was going to play for real.

In fact, for the Japanese troops stationed in Datong, they hoped that the Eighth Route Army would attack the city as soon as possible.For them, being stuck in Datong City is actually more uncomfortable than death.They all wanted to end this kind of dreadful days as soon as possible.

According to the telegrams sent by Taiyuan and the North China Front Army, there is no way to send reinforcements to them.And if they want to break through, there are examples of Shuozhou being completely wiped out during the garrison days, and they will only end in annihilation if they rush out.

In contrast, staying in Datong City, which has strong city defenses, maybe they can die with honor.At least in Itagaki Seishiro's view, he hopes that the defenders stationed in Datong will have the belief that they must die to be loyal to the emperor.

To put it bluntly, I hope that their death will be worthwhile.If the Eighth Route Army that was besieging the city could be severely damaged, their families might receive more generous pensions and higher posthumous honors in the future.

Just when the Japanese army in the city began to prepare for defensive operations nervously, they learned that the puppet army in the city refused to come out to fight.The captain of the Japanese army who came to the city wall to check the situation was undoubtedly very angry.

But the guard captain who cooperated with him defending the city still said with a bitter expression: "Captain, it is difficult to defend Datong City with only our alliance. They really haven't had enough to eat in the past few days. It is understandable to have emotions. of.

Looking at the actions of the Chinese army outside the city, I'm afraid they will launch a general offensive today.And today is a cloudy and rainy day, and we cannot request air tactical guidance from the Air Force.If we don't agree to their conditions, it will be difficult for us to keep Datong City. "

Listening to the captain of the independent garrison, the captain of the Japanese military alliance finally said: "Bage Yalu, these Chinese people should not believe it. Order the logistics troops and send them some combat rations. After eating, hurry up and participate in the defense of the city fight."

'Hi! '

Just as those puppet soldiers thought, if the little devils want them to work hard, they must agree to their conditions.Now that the Eighth Route Army outside the city is preparing to attack the city, the Japanese army in the city does not want civil strife, so they can only agree to their conditions.

But whether the Japanese army will agree in the end, many puppet soldiers still have no idea.Until they saw the supply vehicles driving into the barracks, many puppet soldiers knew that the little devils finally gave in and distributed them dry combat rations and canned food.

While eating, while listening to the mobilization of their respective Japanese army captains, the puppet soldiers below also sneered: "At this time, I think of us! Why did you go early! Now we want us to work hard, and we are not stupid!"

'What are you doing with so much talk?If there is something to eat, eat it quickly!When the Eighth Route Army is attacking the city, be careful, for fear that the stupid ones will really fight the Eighth Route Army.If the Eighth Route Army invades the city, don't shoot, just put the gun down and lie down honestly.

Although we are a puppet army, both the Eighth Route Army and the common people hate it.But as long as the hands are not stained with the blood of the people and the Eighth Route Army, and if they honestly hand in their guns and surrender, the Eighth Route Army will also treat the prisoners preferentially.Worst of all, you don't have to be hungry every day, and you will feel better. '

The veteran Youzi standing next to him seemed to know the Eighth Route Army's captive policy.For them, being a soldier and carrying a gun is just for food.If they really want to work hard, many veterans feel that it is better to take it easy.

The rebels mixed in with the puppet army, after hearing what the puppet army said, they had some plans in mind.It's just that right now is not the best time to instigate these puppet troops, and it takes a little bit of fire to deal a fatal blow to the little devil.

The main force of the first division and one main force of the second division gathered outside the city surrounded the entire Datong city.Except for the north gate, where the deployment of troops does not seem to be much, the crowds can be seen outside the other three walls.

Such a siege style made the Japanese and puppet troops in the city a little scared.Compared with many Japanese soldiers who were ready to break the jade, and went to the city to assist the puppet army defending the city, not many people were really willing to die with the Eighth Route Army outside the city.

In this process, the Eighth Route Army outside the city suddenly moved.It's just a little surprising that the first thing that appeared in everyone's sight was not the artillery that the Japanese defenders and puppet soldiers thought, but a row of loudspeakers.
