Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

As the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Boss Zhu is naturally very happy to have won both battles.Even though these two battles cost the Eighth Route Army a lot of money, he still felt it was worth it!

The addition of so many newly opened base areas means that the territory under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army has further expanded.The increase in the population and land under the jurisdiction of the base area means that the source of soldiers and food will also increase a lot in the future.

At least the Japanese army wants to attack Shaanxi in the future, and they can't think of more ways than air strikes.This also means that more troops stationed in Shaanxi can be dispatched to the front line for rounds of battle.

'yes!Who would have thought that after losing Xuzhou and Wuhan, we would be able to regain Taiyuan and Zhengzhou.With such good news, I believe our common people can also feel gratified and feel hopeful! '

The great ancestor who said these words has already started to think about sending out electricity.He felt that this time the Eighth Route Army had to make a big move to make the anti-Japanese military, civilians and political groups across the country truly aware of the fact that the Eighth Route Army had risen.

Even the Eighth Route Army will bear a lot of pressure from the Japanese army in the future.But Taizu believed that as He Zhengdao withdrew to Yulin and Suiyuan, it would not be easy for the Kwantung Army to go south to fight.

As for the anti-Japanese troops in North China and Central China, most of the base areas are now connected.With a solid rear, they will also be safer fighting on the front lines.In this case, what's the point of fighting?

After keeping a low profile for so long, it's time to be high profile again!

At least let the people and the international community know that besides the Nationalist Government in Chongqing, the Yan'an Government in Shaanxi and the Eighth Route Army are also the pillar forces of the War of Resistance in China, and they are qualified to have a direct dialogue with them. dudu2

Doihara, who was leading the troops to break through the encirclement after receiving the telegram forwarded by the North China Front Army, also felt full of sadness.Doihara also felt a little sad about the death of Itagaki, a friend in the army.

Once upon a time, they made Huaxia exhausted.But in just over a year, the Eighth Route Army, which was supposed to be insignificant, became an existence that destroyed their invincible belief and confidence, and killed Japanese generals many times.

Even though his heart was full of unwillingness, Doihara still ordered: "Order the troops to speed up, and you can choose to discard some heavy materials that you don't need to carry. As fast as possible, rush to Anhui to rest!"

As the last Japanese force in Shanxi was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, Doihara believed that the Eighth Route Army had more energy and troops to transfer to the Henan battlefield.In this case, he must order the troops to retreat at a faster rate.

In the face of these Japanese troops breaking out of Anhui all the way regardless, the Eighth Route Army troops responsible for blocking the raids only bit one bite at a time, so that these little devils who broke out did not dare to stay in one place for too long.

Although some frontline commanders don't want these little devils to leave Zhumadian easily.But they all know that the troops are already very tired.If they continue to fight head-on, they will not be able to get too much bargain.

But even so, the rear troops that occasionally wipe out some little devils are also constantly consuming the strength of the retreating Japanese army.The little devil left in a hurry, but the Eighth Route Army chased him easily. The latter undoubtedly suffered less losses than the former.

The No.18 Division of the Japanese Army, which was evacuated with the Doihara Division for a week, also felt that the surrounding situation was becoming more and more dangerous.Fortunately, the two divisions can support each other, so that they will not lose the ability to counterattack and break through.

It's just that the large amount of property they seized in Zhumadian can't be taken out now.Keep an eye on their Saber Special Forces, looking for the little devil's car and horses, so that the little devil can only walk on two legs.

In this case, the Japanese army could only choose to blow up or bury some artillery pieces.The entire division was converted into infantry and marched towards Anhui on foot.As for the Japanese army in Anhui, they also organized corresponding troops.

When the Japanese troops stationed in Fuyang finally merged with the forward troops of the No.14 Division.Doihara in the rear also seemed relieved, and the rest of the Japanese troops who broke out also felt that they had finally got rid of the threats surrounding them.

It was also at this time that Boss Peng, who served as the commander in chief of the Henan campaign, also said in a timely manner: "Send a report to the New 67th Army, let their first infantry division take over Zhumadian, and build fortifications on the front lines of Jieshou and Funan. dudu3

The Second Infantry Division of the New 67th Army, in addition to stationing in Xinyang, must also cooperate with the First Infantry Division to assist in defending Nanyang.As for the third infantry division, it is responsible for the defense in the direction of Dabie Mountain, and beware of the Japanese troops stationed in the direction of Wuhan.

Before there is no new order, the frontline troops try to engage in large-scale battles with the Japanese army as little as possible.The troops began to rest and reorganize, and summarized the battle, and submitted the summary report to the headquarters for summary. "

Knowing that the little devil successfully broke through to the territory of Anhui, Boss Peng was also a little unwilling.But the two divisions of the Japanese army also lost tens of thousands of troops in this breakout.In Mr. Peng's opinion, this is not a small victory.

At least the Japanese troops annihilated in the Battle of Henan will not be less than those in the Battle of Shanxi.In any case, the two recovery campaigns launched at the end of the year are indeed qualified to make the people of the whole country who have been suppressed for a year feel proud.

At this moment, the Second Infantry Division deployed on the front line of Nanyang began to receive supplies and ammunition from the headquarters.With the supply of these materials in place, the artillery units, which had been trapped in ammunition, were first deployed in the border area.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army behind the position, there are still a large number of artillery units assembled.Hu Zongnan, who originally wanted to pick up the leak, didn't have the courage in the end.After all, he already felt that the Eighth Route Army was no longer as easy to bully as before.

Asking himself, Hu Zongnan felt that even if he commanded the First Army, he might not be able to drive away the two Japanese divisions that were in Zhumadian at that time.But now the Eighth Route Army has done it, which means that the Eighth Route Army's strength is not bad.

He even knew very well that as the Japanese army withdrew from Henan, they and the Eighth Route Army would become real 'neighbors' next.How to get along with this new 'neighbor' will also test the wisdom of him and the national government.

Even if the Anti-Japanese War is still in the hands of the national government, everyone knows that Yan'an no longer cares about the opinions of the national government.At least in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the national government could still dictate, but now it may not be able to.

Yan'an, which owns nearly three provinces, already has the capital to be on an equal footing with the national government.Most importantly, winning these two recovery battles will gather a lot of popular support and prestige for Yan'an.

This also means that the national government wants to continue to dominate the overall situation of the War of Resistance, and then they also need to show some excellent results to tell the people who are concerned about the War of Resistance that they are the leaders of the War of Resistance in China! (To be continued.)

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

The Anti-Japanese War broke out for more than a year. For the Chinese people who were on the battlefield, it was undoubtedly miserable.Not to mention that everyone in Tian Lai's novels was displaced, many people in the enemy-occupied areas also lived in dire straits.

Although many common people know that the troops of the national government are fighting the war, and the Eighth Route Army in the north is also fighting with all its strength.There are also various resistance teams in the rest of the occupied areas.But the big trend doesn't seem to have changed.

In Shanghai, which has been occupied and controlled by the Japanese army, many people living in concessions or slums, even if they live a precarious life every day, still pay attention to the situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and occasionally listen to the news shouted by newspaper boys on the street.

Just when many people felt that there would be no good news this year.On the streets of Shanghai in the morning, the newsboys walking around the streets conveyed an unbelievable news to them with the loudest voice.

'Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!Shanxi is restored, and Henan is restored!Great victory, great victory!The Eighth Route Army sent troops to recover Shanxi and many occupied areas in Henan.In the First World War, 10,000+ little devils were wiped out, and two lieutenant generals and division heads of the Japanese army were killed! '

The excited shouts naturally attracted the attention and attention of passers-by.Many passers-by initially thought that they might have misheard, but as the newsboy shouted more and more times, many people knew that they had not misheard.

Quickly squeezed in front of the newspaper boy and said, "Newspaper seller, what you just said is true?"

'real!If there is a false statement, I will not be able to sell a single newspaper today.This is a newspaper that has just been printed by the newspaper office, and it is a telegram of the Eighth Route Army, and the whole country knows it.A big victory, a real big victory! '

These people in the occupied areas in the south, although they don't know much about the situation in the north.But they knew more or less that the Red Army that was active in southern Jiangxi earlier had now become the Eighth Route Army as far north as Shaanxi.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Red Army in the early years was also reorganized into ten main divisions to start the Anti-Japanese War.But no one expected that at the moment when the southern battlefield was retreating steadily, the Eighth Route Army would be able to recover the entire occupied areas of Shanxi and Henan.

Looking at the words "Great Victory" marked on the front page of the newspaper, many people who often read the newspaper also felt excited.For them, they feel very proud to see such good news in the newspaper.

Some people who love to discuss state affairs even said directly: "The Eighth Route Army is amazing! With its own power, it was able to recover the entire Shanxi and Taiyuan City, which the little devil has occupied for so long. It's really amazing!"

'yes!Who would have known that the Red Army, which was encircled and suppressed by the Central Army back then to Shaanxi, would develop and grow to the point it is now.Amazing!It seems that the Eighth Route Army will be the main force to fight the little devils in the future! '

Compared with the people in the enemy-occupied areas, more of them learned about the victory of the Eighth Route Army through the radio and newspapers.Some foreign envoys stationed in China have already received such news, but they have not been able to confirm it before.

But now the Eighth Route Army is clearly electrifying the whole country, recording in detail the time when the battle started and the results it has achieved.Although it is not as exaggerated as the newspapers said, it is true that Shanxi and Henan provinces have been recovered.

Even in Henan right now, many places are still controlled by the national government.But the areas bordering Shanxi are now controlled by the Eighth Route Army.It can be said that the territory of the Eighth Route Army has been further expanded.

Faced with such a situation, Europe can already feel the clouds of war from the consuls of various countries, so they quickly passed the news back.At the same time, these foreign governments also sent telegrams in reply.

Most of the meanings are the same, that is, to send a delegation to Shaanxi to contact the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible.Compared to the fact that the Nationalist government wiped out many little devils, but lost ground in every battle, the Eighth Route Army often won victories in the north.

In this war, the military strength displayed by the Eighth Route Army also attracted the attention of all parties.What is even unexpected is that the turning point of the Battle of Henan will be a large-scale air strike organized by the Eighth Route Army.

A foreign military attache who received the information said directly, "Oh Maiga! Does the Eighth Route Army also have an air force?"

From such exclamations, it is not difficult to hear that the Eighth Route Army is still the Red Army that was called "beggars" in the early years in the eyes of these military attaches stationed in China.But who would have thought that the Eighth Route Army has grown to the point it is now!

In the streets and alleys of Chongqing, the accompanying capital, there are also many newsboys selling newspapers to publicize this matter.Even if the newspapers in Chongqing did not slander the Nationalist Government and the Central Army too much, many people couldn't sit still when they heard the voices praising the Eighth Route Army all over the street.

Even for this matter, Lao Jiang specially convened a meeting of military and political officials in Chongqing, focusing on discussing matters related to the Eighth Route Army.In their view, the Eighth Route Army has truly become an armed force and a political party that can compete with them.

Looking at the dignified military and political officials, Lao Jiang, who was seated, also had a serious expression.Like everyone else, he was shocked by the strength displayed by the Eighth Route Army this time.

On the Shanxi battlefield, the Eighth Route Army invested no less than seven main divisions.On the Henan battlefield, the main force of the Eighth Route Army participating in the war was as many as ten or more main divisions, and this did not include the few main divisions guarding Shaanxi.

After some statistics, Lao Jiang was horrified to find that ten main divisions were reorganized in the early years, and there were still some Eighth Route Army with insufficient troops.Now the size of the main division alone has reached more than thirty.

If you add the garrison troops stationed by the Eighth Route Army successively in various places, the size of the Eighth Route Army's troops today may not be far from one million.Such a rapid expansion of the army really frightened Lao Jiang, but he was more angry.
