Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

But many of these troops who left the city never returned.After going back and forth, when the Eighth Route Army began to besiege the city, the garrison commander in the city suddenly discovered that half of his troops had been lost before he knew it.

Knowing this situation, the garrison commander immediately said: "Call the defenders at each stronghold and ask them to return to the main city at full speed. Abandon the outlying strongholds and send power to the front army headquarters for help. In addition, send power to the No.12 division. Ask them to send troops back to help."

It is very clear that Ulanqab City is very important to the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army.If this strategically important area is lost, the Chahar and Rehe areas will be under the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

With the return of the defenders of each stronghold, Ulanqab City, which was originally stationed with a brigade, still only had a guard with more than one wing.Even if there are many puppet Mongolian troops assisting in defending the city, these soldiers may not be able to be reused.

When the request for help from Ulanqab City was transmitted to the North China Front Army Command and the No.12 Division ahead of them preparing to retreat.Yamamura Seitaro also realized that their retreat had been blocked by the Eighth Route Army.

What made Yamamura Kiyotaro even more worried was that the road, which was fine when he came here before, has become dilapidated now.The deep pits that can be seen everywhere, as well as the landmines that made the Japanese army tremble with fear every step of the way, made him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire.

Also feeling this way is Hidezo Hitomi, the brigade leader who doesn't even have an infantry regiment under his command.Aiming at the current Eighth Route Army, they have already started to launch a counterattack against them, and Hitomi Xiusan's remaining troops are getting fewer and fewer.

Facing such a situation, Hitomi Hidezo went to Yamamura Kiyotaro again and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, in view of the current situation, I'm afraid we need to make some sacrifices. Otherwise, we will not be able to break through the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.

Also, my infantry unit needs to be replenished with soldiers.I suggest that all the engineers, supplies, and part of the artillery of the division be converted into infantry and join my infantry brigade.Even, if necessary, abandon heavy artillery, tanks and armored vehicles. "

In this case, Yamamura Seitaro said angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about? Abandoning heavy artillery, tanks and armored vehicles, how can we break through? Just relying on two legs, can we break out from here to a safe area?

Even if the breakout is successful and so much valuable equipment is discarded, how do you want me to explain to the military?What will others think of our actions this time?Without heavy artillery, can we break through with only infantry? "

After some questioning was thrown out, Ren Jian Xiusan still said calmly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, you should be clear that our supply troops are running out of fuel. The most important thing is that the Eighth Route Army has destroyed the truth too much. serious.

Now we spend a lot of time every day on repairing these damaged roads.Although with the assistance of tanks and cars, our chances of breaking out will be greatly increased.But will the Eighth Route Army reserve enough time for us to break through?

If we give up these things that slow down our marching pace, we will be able to move flexibly.As long as we successfully reorganize the existing nearly [-] troops, we will have two infantry brigades.

If we are reluctant to give up those burdens, our entire division will be dragged down here.The most important situation is that the air force closest to us is no longer able to provide air support for us. "

The person who put forward this suggestion and idea, Jian Xiusan, also understands how many people will object to his suggestion.But he knows that this is currently the only way to save the No.12 Division.

The division chief of staff standing next to him was taken aback by Xiusan's suggestion.But after thinking about it, he also felt that it made sense.If they were reluctant to part with these equipments, they might not be able to travel more than ten kilometers a day.

At this speed, let alone joining other troops, even if they consume their current food reserves, they probably won't be able to get out of the Zhuozi area.What's more, there are not many retreats in front of them now.

The Datong reinforcements, who have been in constant contact, still failed to make a breakthrough at this moment.As for the No.20 Fourth Infantry Brigade, it is still holding on.But without reinforcements, I'm afraid they won't last long.

It can be said that at such a critical time, there are really not many choices left for the No.12 Division.Are these equipment important, or the existence of their divisions?As long as there are people, the equipment can be replenished sooner or later.

If the people are gone, wouldn't these equipment still fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army?This principle, as long as you think about it, is actually not difficult to understand.Most importantly, it is really not easy to make this decision!

Knowing about tanks and heavy artillery, the important chief of staff of the division can only say in the end: "Your Excellency, division commander, we have to make some sacrifices at the moment. At least the engineering and supply units will be incorporated into the No.12 Infantry Brigade.

Right now, there are more and more Eighth Route Army gathered next to us. The strength of the head of Renjian Brigade alone cannot stop the Eighth Route Army from attacking us.The most important thing now is to hurry up and get out of here. "

Compared with Hitomi Hidezo, he wants the entire division to be reorganized into infantry.The chief of staff's suggestion can be said to make Yamamura Seitaro feel better.After all, Seitaro Yamamura also felt that it was acceptable to keep the tank and heavy artillery brigade.

Although Hitomi Xiusan still feels not reconciled to this suggestion.But seeing the division chief of staff winking at him, Renjian Xiusan knew it too.Some things, it seems, should not be too anxious!

In contrast to the independent column that launched a counterattack at this moment, all the troops went into battle as quickly as possible.Even in this battle of encirclement and annihilation around the No.12 Division, guerrilla forces from all over the country also joined the battle.

Even if they are more used as security and transport troops, their existence has indeed solved many difficulties for the main force.Under the organization of these guerrilla brigades, the people of the base also joined in supporting the front-line battles.

For such a situation, He Zhengdao also lamented that perhaps with the development and growth of the independent column, this kind of people's support will become more and more frequent in the future.Fortunately, for such things, the main forces everywhere hope that the more the better! (To be continued.)

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

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters, which was also paying attention to the situation in Suiyuan, received a telegram from He Zhengdao that the independent column counterattacked, and was still surprised by He Zhengdao's rapid switch from defense to offense.But it can also be seen from this that the independent column is strong.

Compared with other main divisions, although they have all been expanded to varying degrees.But like the independent column, it now has five infantry divisions and three cavalry divisions as the main force, and it is really the only one.

It's just that both the central government and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army are very supportive of the expansion of the independent column.The stronger the independent column, the stronger their combat effectiveness.In any case, the independent column also has its special side.

The law is an independent column under the dual command of the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army. In addition to its own rapid development over the years, it has also fed back a lot of things from the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army.For such a force, they really can't find anything wrong with it.

Looking at the hanging map, mark the place where the independent column is currently attacking.Boss Zhu was also very satisfied and said: "It's really unexpected that in less than three years, the independent column has grown to the point it is now.

This time, if they can successfully encircle and wipe out the Kwantung Army divisions from the northeast, I believe it will be a huge shock to many people who are concerned about the War of Resistance and our Eighth Route Army. This is the Kwantung Army known as the Steel Army! "

'yes!If the independent column succeeds this time, I would also like to see the first heavy artillery unit and tank armor unit of the Eighth Route Army.I heard that this time, the independent column sent out all the tanks and armor captured last time.

If this Kwantung Army Division can be wiped out this time, the heavy artillery and tank armor they are equipped with will play a vital role in improving the mechanized combat capabilities of our troops.In the future, we dare to confront the little devil. '

Hearing Boss Peng's words, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan smiled and said, "Boss, I'm afraid we won't be able to do such a thing for a while. time for rigorous training.

Even if we capture their equipment and want to train a qualified tank and armored force, it will still take a long process.But with such a force, we will have a real fist force in the future. "

After these words fell, Boss Peng said tentatively: "Commander-in-Chief, if the independent column really captures the equipment of this Kwantung Army Division this time, will the heavy artillery and tank troops formed still be placed on their side? "

Regarding Mr. Peng's inquiry, Mr. Zhu also said directly: "What? Do you want him to send all the equipment to the headquarters? Among other things, in our current situation, we can deploy familiar tanks and heavy artillery. Troop commander?

The most important thing is that the independent column lost so much this time. When the battle is over, their casualties will definitely exceed [-].People here are bleeding, and you still want him to hand over his equipment to the headquarters, and if you are him, what would you think? "

Such a rhetorical question made Boss Peng shake his head and said: "Commander-in-Chief, although I hope to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the headquarters, I also believe in his ability to train troops. It's just that the independent column is really developing too fast now, and I'm afraid that the first bird will be shot. !"

'snort!Let me see who dares!After this battle is over, the central government will have a new appointment for Xiao He.By then, his position in the party will be at the same level as yours.As an alternate member, whoever wants to move him has to consider the consequences.

Some people, who are not good at fighting, will play tricks and make trouble.If you have the ability, solve the difficulties that the central government is currently encountering, and go to the front line to fight bloody with the little devils!I don't want to see other people living a good life, so I want to make something happen every day.

This time, as long as he can get rid of this Kwantung Army Division, I want to see who dares to reach out and ask them for equipment and things.Trying to pick up ready-made ones, does the world revolve around them?How unreasonable! '

Perhaps because the current situation of the Eighth Route Army is good, many leaders staying in Yan'an feel that their supervision of the Eighth Route Army seems to be too little.They all hope that they can place more cronies in the Eighth Route Army.

These people are not good at fighting and commanding, but they are very good at political work.Boss Zhu also seemed very angry when he learned about this increasing unhealthy tendencies, and he was very opposed to laymen guiding experts in the army.

As an independent column under the two-way supervision of the central government and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it is naturally one of the troops that these people hope to place cronies in.It's just that Mao Taizu also seemed to disagree with these people's applications at all.

It can even be said that the teaching group now set up in Yulin often gives He Zhengdao the priority to select the backbone of the army.Other main forces also seem very enthusiastic about sending officers to participate in training.

But even Mao Taizu couldn't stop such a struggle.After all, many times some things need to be compromised.For some personnel placements, Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu have to conduct double audits.

Only those who make the two of them feel at ease can enter the Eighth Route Army as political leaders.And these political leaders, after arriving in the army, still seem to make them feel at ease.

But there are also some political cadres who seem to want to light a few fires after they arrive in the army.Fortunately, these political cadres are more or less only the instructors or political commissars of the battalion. Even if they make some mistakes, they can be reversed in time.

But even so, the main teachers who arranged these cadres also seemed very angry.After all, with the expansion of the Eighth Route Army, each unit has absorbed a lot of puppet troops anyway.

For these puppet troops, these political cadres seem to be worried, and they insist on investigating the reasons why they joined the Eighth Route Army.Although this kind of interrogation is necessary, it also makes many puppet troops who joined have lingering worries.

Even in some units, there have been cases of puppet recruits running away with guns.If the recruits escape, the main division commander will feel that these people are not firm-willed.Then the political cadres added the responsibility of the chief officer of the army, which is a bit of an excuse.

In short, after receiving feedback from the troops below, Boss Zhu and the others also know what these people want to do.It was nothing more than the so-called large-scale political censorship conducted several times during the Red Army period.

Such a review may seem necessary, but it will actually shake the morale of the troops.If there is another rectification movement, I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army, which is in a good situation now, will be in turmoil again.

As the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Boss Zhu undoubtedly disliked this rectification movement.But Boss Zhu is still clear about the principle of ****.For those political cadres who make trouble for no reason, Boss Zhu will transfer them out of the army.

Even for this matter, Boss Zhu went to Yan'an in person and talked with several leaders.Even if it is necessary to investigate the background of these recruits and their purpose of joining the Eighth Route Army.
