Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Once the Japanese army chooses to break through and march through the road, He Zhengdao only allows the Japanese soldiers to pass by. As for their vehicles and heavy artillery, it is impossible to pull them to break through with the troops.

If the little devil is reluctant to part with those things, he must choose to spend his precious time repairing the road.In this way, their desire to break out from Jinzhong City to the border of Hebei will become indefinitely.

After all, both He Zhengdao and Itagaki knew the importance of time to them.The sooner he breaks through, the safer the little devil may be.And this time was undoubtedly what Itagaki didn't want to give to He Zhengdao.

By this time, any formation of troops seemed a little unimportant.The most important thing now is to see who is better in the confrontation between the two armies, the Eighth Route Army's shield is stronger, or the little devil's spear is sharper!

A batch of explosives seized from Taiyuan City and other counties were also made into explosive packets and bombs by He Zhengdao's reconnaissance troops.With these things, the reconnaissance unit is more convenient to operate.

On the roads that some large Japanese troops must pass, even if a company of reconnaissance troops are deployed, they can control at least five kilometers of roads.Every one or two kilometers, throwing a roadside bomb to the little devil, I believe it will also cause the Japanese army to be devastated.

Although it seems a pity to blow up the road built by these little devils to catch young and strong.But in He Zhengdao's view, as long as these Japanese troops can be wiped out.These roads that were blown up can also be repaired in the future by means of work-for-relief.

When He Zhengdao personally sat on the front line of Jinzhong, preparing to stop the old devil Itagaki.Li Xiangdong brought a reconnaissance group, and they were already on the only way of the [-]th Division. They had deployed pockets and waited for the Japanese army to crash in.

At this time, the Changzhi Independent Brigade, which was expanded by the old reconnaissance third regiment, also completed their blocking combat mission.Looking at the [-]th Division, which has been "slimming down" again, the brigade commander, who is distressed by the battle damage, is also a little relieved.

Looking at the telegraph operator beside him, the brigade commander of the independent brigade also said calmly: "Report the situation we have calculated to the commander. At the same time, don't forget to inform the old brigade commander of this news and let him do a good job. Prepare."

They, who are the blocking force at the moment, also don't have much time to rest.Once Li Xiangdong fights with the [-]th Division, their independent brigade will also become a pursuit force, biting the fleeing [-]th Division again! (To be continued.)

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

He Zhengdao also felt a little uncomfortable when he received the post-war summary telegram from the Changzhi Army Brigade and saw the number of casualties of the Army Army Brigade of nearly a thousand.Especially in this list of sacrifices, many of them are veterans of the original reconnaissance regiment.

Although some people used to say that veterans are immortal, but in such a large-scale battle, even veterans with rich combat experience cannot guarantee that they will survive every battle.It can only be said that their survival rate on the battlefield is higher than that of recruits.

But for He Zhengdao, no matter whether the victim is a veteran or a recruit, he is He Zhengdao's soldier.He needs to bear certain responsibilities for the sacrifice of these soldiers.As for such battles, He Zhengdao knew that there were many more in the future.

Even this battle in Shanxi was initiated by He Zhengdao in a sense.Even if he did it for military training, although such a big training could produce a main force with actual combat experience, it also paid a high tuition fee.

Perhaps seeing the self-blame hidden in He Zhengdao's heart, Ye Jianying, as the chief of staff, also said in a timely manner: "Commander, the ** brigade can suffer such battle damage, which is already very good compared to other main forces.

At present, the battle loss ratio between Japan and the Japanese army, if they can play one to one, they are worthy of celebration.And this time the ** brigade, although hundreds of officers and soldiers were killed in battle, there were nearly a thousand lightly or severely wounded.

But the [-]th Division that broke out from Xiangyuan lost more than half of its troops in their hands.It can be said that the [-]th Division that broke out is basically disabled.Next, it is almost impossible for them to break through successfully.

With a battle loss close to one to four, any army would be happy.Moreover, among the officers and soldiers casualties this time, the number of officers and soldiers newly joined the ** brigade was relatively large.Overall, we still fought a victory! "

Facing Ye Jianying's comfort, He Zhengdao smiled wryly and said: "Chief of Staff, I understand all the reasons you said. It's just that as a commander, seeing these cold numbers and thinking of those living soldiers passing away like this, I Really remorse.

Even if I know that the ** brigade fought really well this time, and it also played the backbone of our Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. <>It is conceivable that thousands of families will face such a terrible news. I really don't know how to explain to their parents and relatives.

In fact, people have always said that I am good at using Raiders.In fact, only I know that when I deploy troops, the first thing I consider is this tactic, and what price it will eventually lead us to pay.

If the harvest and the price paid do not meet my requirements, I will generally reject this tactic.Surprise soldiers can often have the effect of making a big difference with a small one.But this time, facing the entire Shanxi dispatched army, it is impossible not to fight a tough battle.

Thinking of the vivid faces of soldiers who have lived in my mind from the formation of the Communist Party to the present, I sometimes feel ashamed of them and their relatives.But I know that this is war, and many times I can't help myself.

As a commander, I am often responsible for the battle, and I want to make the sacrifices of these soldiers more meaningful.When I send a telegram to the ** brigade next time, I must do a good job in the registration of casualties and the aftermath of the officers and soldiers.

As for the martyrs who died in the Shanxi battle, I will apply to the central government and the headquarters to build a martyr cemetery for them near Taiyuan, and bury them all there, so that our descendants can pay homage to them in the future.

Perhaps this is the only thing I, the commander, can do for them.When we don't have to worry about the war anymore, maybe I will take some time to see these martyrs buried in various places! "

Hearing what He Zhengdao said, perhaps in the eyes of some senior generals, He Zhengdao was a bit too benevolent.But Ye Jian should know that the Eighth Route Army has such a cohesive force, which has a lot to do with He Zhengdao.

From the Long March, He Zhengdao gave honorable burial treatment to most of the soldiers who died under his command.Many ordinary soldiers know that even if they die on the battlefield, they will not be forgotten by future generations.

Even their family members will receive pensions from the army.In the future, their families will also enjoy better treatment than ordinary military relatives in the areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and will be allocated more fields for the Invalids.

This kind of stipulation that they can enjoy extremely high courtesy after death has caused many young people from ordinary farming families to join the Eighth Route Army very enthusiastically. <> Even in the eyes of many people, serving as a soldier in the Eighth Route Army will not even pay the military salary.

However, the Eighth Route Army's special regulations on the treatment of military martyrs, even those families who sent their children to the army, felt very comforted.Although they lost a loved one, they can make the living relatives enjoy a better life.

While He Zhengdao was feeling sad for the dead and injured officers and soldiers under his command, Li Xiangdong, who was deployed far away in Xijing, received a telegram from the ** brigade.Also instructed the reconnaissance troops ahead to pay close attention to the movements of the breakout troops of the [-]th Division.

So what is the [-]th Division preparing for at this moment?

When the Changzhi ** Brigade completed the blocking mission and began to take stock of the losses in the blocking war.The [-]th Division, which successfully broke through, is also conducting troop statistics.After all, when they broke through, the troops were also scattered.

A group of distressed-looking troops also arrived at the meeting place ordered by the various troops during the breakout.Looking at these divisions and regiments that were converging one after another, the division chief of the [-]th division also shed tears in his heart.

Before attacking Jincheng, he had more than 2 main troops under his command. When he broke through from Xiangyuan, he also had more than 1 troops under his command.And the troops that are converging one after another now are less than [-] in total.

Most importantly, most of these troops who broke out were infantry and a small amount of cavalry.As for the artillery and supply units, they are now all converted into infantry.Dragging artillery and supplies on the road, they also couldn't go too far.

Looking at the figures calculated by the chief of staff of the division, the division head of the [-]th Division also gritted his teeth and said, "Order the troops to rest here for the night! Although we suffered heavy losses this time, the Eighth Route Army who blocked us may not be able to live well." .

However, for the sake of safety, let our rear guards must keep an eye on the movements of the Eighth Route Army.Once it is discovered that the Eighth Route Army sends the main force to pursue it, it will do its best to intercept and block, and buy time for the main force to break through.

According to the existing strength, the division was reorganized into four infantry brigades, and the brigade commander or regiment leader temporarily served as the brigade commander. <>No matter what, we should be happy to break through.But now, it's not time to be happy and relax.

Warn our soldiers to cherish the rest time tonight.Starting tomorrow, we must rush to the area bordering Hebei.Only then can we really relax, understand? "

Hi!General, understand!Just next, how should we go?If they break through together, the target may be too big.There is still a long way to go from here to where the Front Army's support troops are located.

According to the information forwarded by the front army, we still need to face the blocking of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route.Most importantly, most of the marching routes we choose next are not major roads.Marching speed, I'm afraid it won't be fast!

Faced with the concerns raised by the chief of staff, the division head suddenly fell silent for a moment and said, "Convey my order first, and let the troops complete the reorganization! Let me think about the remaining route to break through."

Hi!General, then I will deliver the order first!

After saluting the equally tired division commander, the chief of staff quickly left the simple temporary headquarters.Seeing that most of the troops assembled one after another were exhausted and even low in morale, the chief of staff was even more worried.

With such morale, how could they successfully break through to Hebei?

But the division has fought repeatedly during this period of time, and these officers and soldiers can persist until now, which is already considered excellent.If you are too demanding, I am afraid that it will also make the officers and soldiers of the division complain!

Several surviving brigade leaders and regiment leaders were called together, and an order was announced for the reorganization of the troops into four infantry brigades.The only surviving brigade leader naturally also served as a joint leader temporarily.

Faced with such a temporary demotion, no one would feel wronged.After all, at the moment, the captains of the alliance don't actually have many troops.Being able to serve as an infantry brigade captain is also a great use for them.

After the order is issued, the reorganization will naturally be announced by the officers below.Several officers who temporarily served as infantry captains also said at the right time: "Chief of Staff, what should we do next?"

The general is still considering it!However, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk the next few tens of kilometers!It's really hard to imagine that the Eighth Route Army has grown so fast, and their troops are so tenacious!

If they used to look down on the Eighth Route Army, which is good at guerrilla warfare, then the battles during this period have shown them a different side of the Eighth Route Army.Especially for this assault, the ** brigade made them even more impressive.

Obviously they have an advantage in military strength, but they can face their desperate breakout.In many cases, the ** brigade in charge of blocking is also determined not to retreat.Some troops even fought hand-to-hand with the blocking troops of the ** brigade when they broke through.

There are some small blocking positions, and the Japanese army will attack and capture them even with heavy troops.However, most of these blocking positions are guarded by a company, and they are often the last ones to deal heavy damage to the Japanese troops who broke through.

They marched into Shanxi in the early years, and also fought against many Chinese troops.But this was the first time they encountered such a tenacious army.And the consequences they encountered were to make them feel ashamed and suffer heavy losses.

Even after the chief of staff talked with these brigade and regimental commanders for a while, the chief of staff said thoughtfully: "It seems that we were able to successfully break through this time, and there should be some luck. You two regiments should be considered lucky. .

As expected, the Eighth Route Army responsible for blocking us should have been limited by their commanders to the minimum blocking time.If this is the case, our next road to break through will not be too easy! "
