Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

After all, this is not taking back a city, but a province.Nowadays, the Nationalist Army is constantly retreating on the frontal battlefield. If the Eighth Route Army can start to recover a province, I believe it will also boost the morale and determination of the domestic anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.

But what He Zhengdao really wants to see are those foreign governments that pay attention to China's War of Resistance.The only thing they need to know is that the Eighth Route Army has the ability to reverse and control the situation in China's anti-Japanese battlefield. I believe they will also pay extra attention to the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, some Chinese groups overseas supporting the domestic war of resistance will also know that the Eighth Route Army is no worse than the Nationalist Army in the Anti-Japanese War. On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army is fighting better than the Nationalist Army at the moment.

If you have strength, you will have a good reputation.With a good reputation, there will naturally be good popularity.With good popularity, people will naturally donate money and materials, and European and American countries will naturally start to contact the Eighth Route Army.

This is also a very beneficial thing for the Eighth Route Army to gain recognition from the international community in the future.After all, China has been weak for many years now, and it really needs to demonstrate China's military strength and existence to the international community.

After explaining some of his own reasons and opinions, Ye Jianying also seemed a little surprised.But from He Zhengdao's words, Ye Jianying also really realized that He Zhengdao's strategic vision is indeed farther than many people.

While others were still paying attention to the situation of the domestic war of resistance, He Zhengdao had already considered winning the hearts of the people and the support of the international community.It can also be seen from this point that He Zhengdao's thinking is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

After talking about reporting the victory to Yan'an and the headquarters, He Zhengdao continued: "Send a telegram to Boss He, asking him to gather the main combat troops of a division in the shortest possible time and prepare to enter Taiyuan City tomorrow.

For troops entering the city, it is best to put on neat and clean military uniforms.In terms of weapons and equipment, try to unify the configuration as much as possible.If possible, pull out two artillery units from their division. dudu2

At that time, when we enter Taiyuan, we will also hold an entry ceremony.Let the people of Taiyuan see what the main force of our Eighth Route Army looks like now, and enhance the morale and confidence of the soldiers and civilians in the Shanxi Anti-Japanese War. "

Entrance ceremony!

This is the situation that He Zhengdao hopes to see when he puts forward so many demands.In He Zhengdao's view, it is undoubtedly impossible to hold a military parade nowadays.But a grand city entry ceremony, I believe it can still be done.

According to the plan formulated by Yan'an and the headquarters, the 120th Division will be responsible for the safety of Taiyuan City in the future.The 120th Division at this moment has actually far exceeded the establishment of the 120th Division given by the National Government.

In the future, under the command of the 120th Division, two to three divisions and combat brigades will also be formed.It can be said that in the eyes of many main division commanders of the Eighth Route Army, they are not division commanders, but commanders at the level of army commanders.

After receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, Boss He also smiled and said: "This guy has quite a lot of demands! However, it is rare to enter the city, and our troops entering the city should really clean up. Don't let people think that we will sneak into the city." ravine.

According to He Zhengdao's request, we will mobilize new uniforms and weapons for our new division.In addition, two artillery battalions were transferred from the artillery regiment to support the scene.Take the mountain guns, wild guns, and cars we seized into Taiyuan City for a walk.

I believe that our way of entering the city will also let the people in Chongqing and Linfen know that we are no longer the beggar army of the past.Now our Eighth Route Army is truly called the overlord of the last party! "

In this case, the chief of staff of the 120th Division was also dumbfounded, but he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call the new [-]st Division right now. It's just that if you enter the city during the day, will the little devil's plane come over and make trouble?"

'Looking at the weather, it is estimated that tomorrow will also be cloudy and rainy.Even if the little devil's plane goes into the air to fight, they probably won't care about us.You know, the troops under He Zhengdao's command have already targeted the main force of Itagaki who escaped from Taiyuan! '

As the main force to cooperate with He Zhengdao's attack on Taiyuan, Boss He also really saw He Zhengdao's deceitful use of troops.It seemed that the way of shooting east and west was so frightening that the Japanese army did not even dare to defend Taiyuan City. dudu3

If you want to storm Taiyuan City, even if the newly formed Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces have the strength to take Taiyuan City, it will definitely not be as easy as it is now.Although he doesn't know the specific results of the battle, Boss He feels that the loss should not be too great.

With the strength of a reconnaissance regiment, a surprise attack was launched from the city of Taiyuan, and the two main infantry regiments should cooperate internally and externally.Even the artillery was not used much, so where would such a battle loss be?

It seems a wasteful way of playing, but the actual consumption of materials and manpower is the least.Boss He was amazed by this way of fighting.This made him even more convinced that He Zhengdao's future was limitless.

Others felt that He Zhengdao gave up the position of a main army commander, which was somewhat youthful.But in Boss He's opinion, He Zhengdao is undoubtedly a smart man.Not to mention retreating to advance, it has also been recognized by many Yan'an leaders.

It makes people feel that he is not only arbitrarily asserting his power, but also taking on the hard job of conquering the Northeast.But once He Zhengdao can really regain the Northeast, not to mention the prestige in the party and the army, the prestige in the country alone will be very huge.

After all, the fall of the three eastern provinces was a disgrace to China in the eyes of many people.If He Zhengdao can defeat the Kwantung Army and successfully recover the entire Northeast, it will wash away the shame of the people.Such a feat can be described as a great achievement!

As for worrying about the superiority of the master, this is also unlikely in Boss He's opinion.Leaving aside that He Zhengdao is Mao's direct confidant and beloved general, it is only a democratic government that will be formed in the future, not a dynasty of any one person.

In the absence of an emperor, as long as He Zhengdao does not seek to seize power, no one will dare to touch him.The most important thing is to take He Zhengdao in the Northeast, and the troops under his control at that time may also dominate one side.

In addition to the new 67th Army currently in central China, those division commanders are all direct descendants of He Zhengdao.Don't look at Yan'an and the headquarters, they say every day that they are not allowed to pull the mountain.But the signboard of the independent column has already been erected virtually.

When it comes to the independent column, others will think of He Zhengdao.As long as the military and political leaders from the independent column, even the local leaders, will regard He Zhengdao as the old leader.This means that He Zhengdao will also become the leader of a faction.

The most important thing is He Zhengdao's age, undoubtedly the youngest among the senior military and political commanders of the entire party and army.When they retire, who will take over the overall work of the party and the army in the future?

It seems that the credit that can be easily obtained is handed over to others, but in fact, he can get the respect and favor of He Zhengdao, and it can also bring many benefits to the 120th division.Boss He felt that he would actually earn more if he was not the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi campaign.

The troops under He Zhengdao's command will do all the fighting at the moment.But when it came to showing his face, He Zhengdao was thinking about his 120th division.In Boss He's opinion, He Zhengdao is so seasoned that no matter how he behaves, he can't be picky! (To be continued.)

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

According to the evacuation plan formulated by Itagaki, they set off from Taiyuan City in the evening to Jinzhong, the next destination. If the troops march faster, it may only take one night to arrive.

Just considering the possible harassment on the way, Itagaki postponed the time until noon of the next day.When the garrison in Taiyuan City began to retreat, the Japanese garrison in Jinzhong City was also ready to respond.

But what puzzled Itagaki was that after leaving Taiyuan City, except for the vanguard convoy being harassed by a small group of the Eighth Route Army and planting some landmines and roadside bombs, it seemed that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was not blocking it.

Could it be that his sudden retreat order really surprised the Eighth Route Army?

Just when all the Japanese troops felt that maybe they could reach Jinzhong safely.Itagaki, who was still marching at night on the road, soon saw the combat staff officer rushing to report the latest situation, and informed the news of the attack on Taiyuan City.

Seeing the farewell telegram sent by the left-behind infantry brigade, Itagaki said in shock, "What? The main force of the Eighth Route Army is lurking in Taiyuan City? How is this possible? Didn't we search the entire city for martial law earlier?"

Faced with Itagaki's shock, the chief of staff of the division who was also summoned said thoughtfully: "General, if nothing unexpected, the Eighth Route Army should have a secret tunnel to enter and leave Taiyuan.

From the telegrams sent by the infantry brigade, it can be basically judged that the opponent's attacking troops appeared in some remote areas of the city.In those places, our patrol force is still relatively small, and we cannot keep an eye on those places.

But what worries me the most is that since they have such a secret passage, I believe it will not take a day or two to plan Taiyuan City.Even if we don't withdraw from the city, I'm afraid they will still use this tactic to surprise Taiyuan City.

We can go so smoothly now, I believe the Eighth Route Army did it on purpose.But if we don't hurry up, I worry that there may be an ambush from the Eighth Route Army ahead.It will be difficult to reach Jinzhong City by then! "

Making such an analysis and judgment is enough to show that the chief of staff of the division still has a few tricks.Compared with worrying about the safety of Taiyuan City, the chief of staff at this moment is more worried about the safety of their retreating troops.

Thinking of their retreat, they did not hide from the eyes of the Eighth Route Army at all.So they are walking so smoothly now, no doubt the Eighth Route Army deliberately let them go a little farther, even if they know that Taiyuan is under attack, they will not be able to return to help.

As for them who left the city, it would undoubtedly take some time for them to reach Jinzhong City.After all, although the night march is a little more secretive, it is not easy to go too fast.Then the marching time they need to spend will be longer! dudu1

With this awareness, Itagaki immediately said: "Order the cavalry regiment to speed up and join the vanguard. The rest of the troops, speed up! The troops in charge of the rear must ensure the safety of the supply troops and not lag behind the main force."

After some orders were issued, although Itagaki lamented that the Eighth Route Army's moves were fatal, they were powerless to change anything.From the moment he ordered the troops to withdraw from Taiyuan, he was actually ready for the fall of Taiyuan City.

What surprised him was that the Eighth Route Army's offensive was so fast and accurate.In this way, the original plan to let the remaining troops delay the Eighth Route Army may come to nothing again.

"He Zhengdao, it's this He Zhengdao again!"Why is it that every time I meet the Imperial Japanese Army, nothing good will happen to me?I really don't know what is so different about this person! '

Although He Zhengdao is no longer an unknown figure among some generals of the Japanese army.However, the information about He Zhengdao is also pitifully scarce.What can be known is that this person is not from a military academy.

Speaking of which, there are many famous generals in the Eighth Route Army who came from reckless backgrounds.For these reckless and famous generals who have suddenly risen, it is indeed not an easy task for the Japanese army to search for their information.

This is especially true for He Zhengdao. It is indeed not an easy task for the Japanese Army Special High School to collect information about him.In the eyes of many Japanese generals and national army generals, He Zhengdao really seemed to be born out of nowhere.

For such a sudden rise of military generals, it is naturally not easy for the Japanese army to dig out information about He Zhengdao.What's more, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army didn't pay much attention to the Red Army at all.

When the Japanese army realized the threat of the Eighth Route Army, it was no longer an easy task to carry out intelligence layout for the Eighth Route Army.Coupled with the intensification of the Eighth Route Army's anti-espionage efforts, the Japanese military's special high-level classes have repeatedly returned without success.

As for He Zhengdao himself, he is an expert in this field.Even if the Japanese army wanted to control He Zhengdao's whereabouts, it would not be an easy task.As a result, the Japanese army knew very little about He Zhengdao's character.

Just when Itagaki ordered the troops to speed up their march, the Second Reconnaissance Regiment, which was on standby near the shop, was also ready for battle.Listening to the short gunshots coming from the front, the soldiers of the reconnaissance regiment on the blocking position were also ready to fight.

But just when the Second Reconnaissance Regiment was preparing to block the infantry brigade of Itagaki, a telegram from He Zhengdao was sent quickly.The second regiment leader who saw this telegram was also a little surprised. dudu2

'Let's fight and retreat, mainly to kill and injure the little devils.Commander, what is the purpose of this order! '
