After the 33rd Division and the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army were annihilated, the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was trapped in Datong, was finally annihilated by the Chinese army in one fell swoop due to its isolation and helplessness, and Datong was immediately recovered.Subsequently, our army swept through the entire northern Jin region, wiped out all the remnants of the Japanese puppet forces in the area, and recovered the entire northern Jin region in one fell swoop.After the battle, according to the order of the headquarters, the seventh column handed over Shuozhou City and other places to the sixth column and other troops.The main force of the seventh column was ordered to withdraw to the area of Yingxian County to rest and wait.Li Guotao immediately moved his headquarters to Yingxian, and just moved into the new headquarters, Li Guotao sat on a chair and said with a relaxed face: "Now we can finally have a good rest." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "This battle has been fought intermittently for so long, and the soldiers are indeed tired, so it's time to take a good rest." ”"Well" Li Guotao nodded and said: "What is the current situation of the troops" Ma Zhenguo said with a serious face: "According to the previous plan, the new Third Brigade is still staying in the Guangwu area to rest on the spot, and the new Second Brigade has gone to the Yanmen Pass area.The new 1st Brigade has rushed to the vicinity of Mayingzhuang to rest and recuperate, while the 4th Brigade and other units of the new formation are all resting and waiting in the vicinity of Yingxian. ”Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Although it is a rest, we can't be too relaxed."
Now that the Battle of the Hundred Regiments is in full swing, the headquarters intends to continue to expand the results.It is estimated that we will not have too long a rest time, and there will be a new combat mission to be handed over to us at the headquarters.After this battle, the casualties of our army are not small, and we should replenish our troops as soon as possible, and then restore the combat effectiveness of our troops in the shortest possible time. ”"I understand that all units have been notified before that they can recruit soldiers on the spot, and the headquarters has promised to assign the seven counties near Ying County to our seven columns as a supplementary place for our soldiers.It's just that there is a limit to this recruitment. ”Ma Zhenguo said with a frown."
There is no limit on the amount" Li Guotao waved his hand and said: "The more the merrier, our seventh column, as one of the most elite main forces of our Eighth Route Army, will experience more big battles in the future.Moreover, the training of recruits takes a period of time, and we must ensure that there are additional soldiers at any time, and we must prepare in advance.Therefore, there is no limit to the number of recruits, as long as the conditions are qualified, we will recruit as many as possible. ”"I understand that as for recruitment, leave it to me, I promise to do it beautifully."
Ma Zhenguo smiled and nodded and said."
Hmm" Li Guotao nodded with a smile, and said casually: "Shuozhou City has been handed over to the sixth column, and it is estimated that Political Commissar Meng should come back" "Yesterday, the political commissar sent a telegram saying that he would not be able to reach Yingxian until tomorrow. ”Ma Zhenguo said casually."
Haha, don't say it, I haven't seen the political commissar for a while, and I still miss him a little."
Li Guotao said with a smile.In the Battle of Northern Jin, the Japanese army suffered a heavy defeat and heavy losses, losing nearly 100,000 troops.In particular, the 32nd Division, the 33rd Division, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army were completely annihilated one after another, which made the Japanese army lose face.In addition, the Eighth Route Army launched a battle of 100 regiments in North China, which made the railways and highways in the entire North China almost completely paralyzed, and the Japanese puppet troops stationed in various places suffered even more losses.This made the Japanese base camp anxious about the security problem in North China.At this time, World War II had broken out in full swing, and Germany's victory in the European theater greatly stimulated the Japanese aggression ambitions.The arrogant and ignorant Japanese, anxious to further expand the scope of the war, so as to gain greater benefits in the war.Japan had two options in front of it: one was to attack Soviet Russia in the north and occupy the vast territory of Soviet Russia in the Far East, and the other was to go south and attack Southeast Asia.However, whether it is going north or south, one premise must be met, and that is to ensure the security of the occupied areas of China occupied by Japan.As we all know, Japan is only an island country with few resources, and the amount of money and resources required to support such a huge war is undoubtedly astronomical.And being close to Japan itself is far from satisfying.Therefore, Japan must ensure the security of the occupied areas of China in order to achieve its goal of feeding the war with war.After some heated discussions, the Japanese top leaders reached a consensus and decided to transfer heavy troops to support North China, eliminate the local anti-Japanese armed forces headed by the Eighth Route Army, stabilize local public order, and make North China truly a material supply place for them to continue waging war.Beiping, in the conference room of the headquarters of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, will be star-studded.Lieutenant General Tada Jun, commander of the North China Dispatch Army, looked at the group of devil generals sitting in the conference room with a gloomy face.All the little devils present were silent, because they all knew that His Excellency the Commander was in an extremely bad mood.It is no wonder that Tada Jun is in a bad mood, since he took over the post of commander of the North China Dispatch Army, the Japanese army has been defeated in successive battles, and has lost Suiyuan, Chahar, and northern Jinbei occupied areas, and the Japanese army has lost its troops and lost face.Because at this time, no one is willing to take the initiative to take over the mess in North China, and there is no suitable candidate for the Japanese base camp for the time being, otherwise Tada Jun, the old devil, would have rolled up and rolled back to Japan, in this case, how could he be happy.Tada Jun glanced at the Japanese generals attending the meeting, and said with a serious face: "Ladies and gentlemen, in recent times, the Imperial Army has been defeated in North China in successive battles, and the base camp has been very disappointed in the performance of our North China Dispatch Army, saying that we have lost the face of the entire Imperial Japanese Army, and even His Majesty the Emperor has personally sent telegrams more than once, accusing us of ineffective combat.This is not only my shame, but also the shame of all of you here, and it is also the shame of the 200,000 warriors of the Imperial Army sent by me in North China" Tada Jun paused, and then said: "We, the Yamato nation, will never admit defeat, let alone be defeated by a group of despicable Chinese people, we must use the blood of the Chinese people to wash away these shames, and wipe out all the anti-Japanese armed forces in North China." ”As he spoke, Tada Jun slammed his fist on the table.aa2705221:
