Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

At least some of the guns and even artillery lost by the troops can also be repaired nearby.As for the bullet reloading machines, He Zhengdao can directly transfer several machines from the Yulin Arsenal to increase the ammunition reserves of the New 67th Army.

Another purpose of doing this is to expand the military strength of the Eighth Route Army.In He Zhengdao's view, the Yulin Arms Factory alone could not satisfy the Eighth Route Army troops that would gradually expand in the future.

If an ordnance factory can be established in the Dabie Mountains, it will play a very important role for the New Fourth Army operating in the south and the New 67th Army in the Dabie Mountains area.

In addition to the Huangyadong Arsenal, the Eighth Route Army also has a large arsenal and two arms factories.When the time is right, these two ordnance factories can also slowly expand.

Looking at the telegram sent by He Zhengdao, Chief of Staff Luo Ruiqing also said happily: "Old Xiao, Commander He's suggestion is very reasonable! If there is a military branch factory, at least the bullets can be reinstalled in the future, and we can Self-sufficient."

'Um!But this matter needs to be reported to Secretary Liu.To build an arsenal factory, in addition to choosing a suitable place, it also needs to spend a lot of money! '

As the commander of the army, Xiao Jinguang naturally knew that a military branch factory was very useful to the army.It can be said that the ordnance branch currently being built in Huangyadong has largely solved the ammunition supply of the 129th Division and the 117th Division.

At least for the reinstallation and production of bullets, grenades, and landmines, the ammunition produced by Huangyadong can basically supply the consumption and reserves of the two main divisions.To some extent, this also reduces the dependence of the troops on the headquarters. dudu1

Although he occasionally intervened in the situation in the Henan battlefield, as the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi campaign, He Zhengdao also did not relax his pursuit of Itagaki's troops.And Banhuan's division of troops also failed to achieve much effect.

Most of the troops that were dispersed to break through were encircled and wiped out by guerrilla brigades and cavalry troops from all over the country.Bringing an infantry brigade to act as a decoy for Itagaki, the Eighth Route Army also waited for heavy troops to encircle and wipe them out.

Looking at the surrounded battlefield, Itagaki, who was already exhausted, could only say in the end: "Send a report to the commander of the front army to inform the news that our army has been wiped out. If there are any surviving soldiers returning to Hebei, please ask the garrison in Hebei to replace them." take care of.

At the same time, I attach my suggestion. In the future, the Front Army must strengthen its control and encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.Even if we temporarily put aside the suppression of the Central Army in the South, we must do our best to deal with the Eighth Route Army rising in the North.

Compared with the Central Army currently located in the southwest, the Eighth Route Army in Shaanxi is the biggest threat to the empire.If possible, it is suggested that the empire sign a non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union to block the Soviet Union's military aid to the Eighth Route Army.

Once the Soviet Union agrees to peace talks with the empire, they can mobilize elite troops from the Kwantung Army to move southwards to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the north with all their strength.They must not be given another chance to develop, otherwise the imperial jihad will undoubtedly be defeated! "

It seemed clear that there was no way out this time, and Itagaki hadn't thought about surrendering or anything like that.While sending a farewell message to the front army, he also hopes to fulfill his duties as an imperial general and give some suggestions to the front army and the military headquarters.

In Itagaki's view, it was the empire that focused its encirclement and suppression on the south, which gave the Eighth Route Army a chance to grow stronger.Now that the Eighth Route Army has become a major trend, if it is not further suppressed, North China and even Northeast China will be very dangerous.

The telegraph operator who stayed in a cave and sent a telegram heard what Itagaki said, and quickly sent it out.After the telegram was sent, Itagaki said calmly, "Go out!"

'General! '

'Get out!Tell our soldiers that if they want to survive, they can choose to surrender to the Eighth Route Army.I told Major General Jiangkou that they could surrender to the Eighth Route Army in the hope that the Eighth Route Army could treat our wounded.

You are all warriors of the empire, and you have fulfilled your duties. I hope that the Eighth Route Army will treat you preferentially.Smash the radio station, burn all confidential documents, and get out!To fight or to surrender, you decide for yourself! 'dudu2

After realizing that he had been surrounded by heavy troops from the Eighth Route Army, Itagaki ordered the infantry brigade to find this valley to resist.But considering the wounded soldiers who went on the road with the infantry brigade, Itagaki still hoped that some more people would survive.

As the head of the Fifth Division, Itagaki knew very well that the officers and soldiers who persisted with him to the end were all elite veterans of the Fifth Division.It's a pity that he can't take them to escape now.

If he was alive, he would not allow his subordinates to surrender.But right now, they are already very tired and their weapons and ammunition are very short. They simply cannot withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army for too long.

In order to give those wounded soldiers a chance to survive, Itagaki also made a decision.The officers and soldiers who were willing to serve the empire to the death went to the outside to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and all the remaining wounded soldiers were left behind.

And in order to ensure that the Eighth Route Army would not shoot and kill those wounded soldiers, Itagaki specially called the only surviving major general brigade commander to his side, and asked him to bear the humiliation and surrender to the Eighth Route Army at that time, in exchange for the Eighth Route Army to rescue the wounded.

Even if the major general Eguchi disagreed, Itagaki still said: "I am the commander of the division and the commander of the Shanxi Dispatched Army. I need to be responsible for this defeat. As for you, you will be responsible for our wounded warriors next." Responsible.

According to the information collected in the early days of the empire, there are many warriors who were captured in the early days in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.Some of those warriors have already abandoned their faith and started working for the Eighth Route Army. These people are a disgrace to the empire.

But at least they survived anyway.Moreover, according to the information sent back from the Special High School, Major General Hitomi Xiusan, the head of the Infantry Brigade of the No. 12 Division, who was captured by the Independent Column earlier, is also doing well in the Eighth Route Army.

At the beginning, it was seen that the reason why Xiusan chose to surrender was more to save the lives of many wounded soldiers of the No. 12 Division.Even if many wounded soldiers failed to survive in the end, there were still many wounded soldiers who managed to save their lives.

At this time, Itagaki also hoped that these wounded who would surely die if they were not treated would also have a chance to survive.At least in Itagaki's view, as long as he is alive, there is still hope.

I have a man Jian Xiusan, and now I have another major general Jiangkou, I believe I can give some credit to the Eighth Route Army.At least Itagaki believed that if Major General Eguchi was willing to surrender and asked the Eighth Route Army to treat the wounded, the Eighth Route Army would consider it.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Itagaki chose to shoulder the responsibility for the battle, and even in the telegram sent to the front army, he also proved for Major General Eguchi that his surrender to the Eighth Route Army was at his behest. dudu3

The reason is also very simple. Itagaki hoped that after Major General Eguchi surrendered, the Eighth Route Army would send people to rescue the thousands of lightly and seriously wounded who were led by the Fifth Division on the road to break through.For such reasons, the high-level Japanese army believes that they will also understand.

When the Changzhi Independent Brigade successfully defeated the outer positions of the Japanese army, looking at the Japanese army in the valley raising the white flag, the attacking troops seemed a little surprised.However, the attacking force quickly sent an officer to speak out.

Seeing that it was a major general of the Japanese army who came out to talk, the company commander was somewhat surprised and said: "Report your position and name! By the way, where is your division commander? Don't tell me, he is not in your team." inside!"

Major General Eguchi, who finally agreed to Itagaki's choice to surrender, seemed a little angry about the inquiry of the Eighth Route Army company commander.But he knew that from the moment the white flag was set up, their life and death were all under the control of the Eighth Route Army.

Having fought against the Eighth Route Army many times, Major General Jiangkou is very aware of the Eighth Route Army's style of work.On the battlefield, if the weapons in their hands are not put down, the Eighth Route Army will only verbally persuade them to surrender, but in the end it will be resolved by the last bullet.

Even if he was angry, Major General Eguchi still said: "I am Seitaro Eguchi, the brigade of the Ninth Brigade of the Fifth Infantry Division. Are you the supreme commander of this unit?"

'what's the matter?Do you think I am a petty official?Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fact that you have raised the white flag, we would have kicked you out a long time ago.Damn, why didn't you surrender sooner, you have been blocking it for so long before. '

As the vanguard company commander of the Independent Brigade, his company commander also sacrificed many soldiers when he captured the outer positions of the Japanese army.Therefore, in the eyes of this company commander, these little devils are cheap.

If you choose to surrender, why not surrender earlier?There was still a battle to be fought, which cost them a lot of shells and bullets, and they also paid a price when they attacked.

Regarding the company commander's questioning, Major General Eguchi could only say: "Our division commander has already been crushed! We made such a decision before he was crushed. Please give us the treatment we deserve as prisoners of war!"

Hearing the treatment of this prisoner of war, the vanguard company commander in charge of the negotiation felt like cursing his mother.Just hearing Itagaki's death, the company commander really realized that the Battle of Shanxi can be declared completely over! (To be continued.)

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

When the North China Front Army received the last farewell message from Itagaki, they all knew that the Shanxi Dispatch Army was completely over.In just about half a month, the two divisions stationed in Shanxi were finished like this.

Seeing such a farewell message, Hayao Tada, who had already returned to China for questioning, suddenly felt very lucky.However, the Chief of Staff of the Front Army, who was acting as the interim commander, knew that this incident would once again cause shocks in the military.

Compared with the head of the [-]th Division, although he is also a Japanese lieutenant general.But Seishiro Itagaki sent troops and military headquarters in China, and they were all famous generals with great reputation.But right now, this famous general is still unable to escape the ending of being forced to commit suicide.

Perhaps after his death, the empire will give him a noble honor.But a dead famous general will be forgotten in a short time.On the other hand, He Zhengdao, who received the telegram from the front line, seemed both happy and worried.

Happily, Seishiro Itagaki, who owed a lot of blood debts, died.Even if He Zhengdao knew, this guy failed to escape the trial of the international court in the end, and he was sentenced to death by hanging.

But dying on the gallows and being annihilated by the Eighth Route Army in China are undoubtedly two different concepts.The death of Itagaki also realized that the Japanese army lost another well-known general who knew China.

But He Zhengdao is worried that history has been changed a lot by him.Next, what will this war of resistance that lasted eight years in history look like?He Zhengdao did seem a little worried about this.

After all, for other people who were in the War of Resistance, He Zhengdao had a natural advantage, that is, he knew the direction of history.But now that history has changed, He Zhengdao also has no way of knowing what the future will look like.

Fortunately, this kind of worry was suppressed by He Zhengdao not long after, and he said calmly: "Report the victory to Yan'an and the headquarters! All the troops participating in the war began to gather and prepare to return to Yulin and Suiyuan for rest and standby.

The recaptured counties were all managed by the garrison troops who came later.Before the arrival of the garrison troops, all participating troops on the front line must beware of the counterattack of the Japanese army.Before receiving the order from the military department, the frontline troops are not allowed to attack without authorization! "

In He Zhengdao's view, the end of the Shanxi campaign could almost declare the end of the [-] War of Resistance.He Zhengdao felt very satisfied to be able to draw such a successful conclusion at the end of the year, and he believed that the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War would also feel very gratified.

A year ago, they lost Shanxi.A year later, the Eighth Route Army regained Shanxi again.Even if there is only one province, it can give confidence to the soldiers and civilians of the War of Resistance, making them feel that the final victory of the War of Resistance must belong to the Chinese people.

After receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, Taizu, who was staying in Yan'an to watch the two battles, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay! I really didn't expect that the Battle of Shanxi would end so soon, and the two Japanese army divisions just like this It's over!" dudu1

Faced with Taizu's exclamation, Boss Zhu also smiled and said: "Chairman, the end of the Shanxi battle also realizes that our year should be much better. Next, we need to discuss how to manage Shanxi.

Having previously received a telegram from Henan Qianzhi, the two divisions of the Japanese army stationed in Zhumadian had begun to break out of the encirclement in Anhui.Most of the remaining Japanese garrison troops in Henan also began to choose to break through to other occupied areas.

Judging from this, it is estimated that the battle in Henan is not far from the end.Although this battle cost a lot, it also gained a lot.After getting through this winter, I believe we will have a new situation next year. "
