Chapter 236 Defense Division of the Iron Triangle Force

Starting from September to June, the Eighth Route Army once again organized troops to launch raids.

In that battle, the 120th Division continued to attack the northern section of the Tongpu Railway, and the 129th Division mainly attacked the roads related to the Hongshan Railway in southern Shanxi.

Troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region are still operating in the Jizhong region, and they are trying to gradually capture some towns.

Does the Eighth Route General Headquarters request all ministries to continue attacking railways and highways to cut off the Yuan army's communication lines?

At the same time, they also hope that each unit can destroy the stronghold gun towers deep in the base area as much as possible to ensure that each base area will not be threatened.

The Li Yunlong New Regiment, Kong Jie Independent Regiment, and Ding Weixin Second Regiment deployed in northwestern Shanxi have not received any combat orders for the time being.

Brigadier Chen has currently commanded the troops to fight in the southeast, and they are temporarily staying in the area west of Xin County on standby.

As for the 48th Independent Brigade, after a long period of fighting in Xin County, they urgently need to rest and recuperate.

In addition, they need to strengthen training to improve their combat effectiveness.

Of course, Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun used the gold bars they obtained to strengthen the death pensions for officers and soldiers who died in battle.

So far, there is no pension committee in the highest authority in the capital, but the pension funds allocated by them cannot be guaranteed at all levels.

When Dongfa went to the army, the pension was not much.

If you meet a better officer, the pension can be easily transferred to the east.

If something bad happens, I'm afraid I won't even get that little compensation.

When Chu Yunfei served as the commander of the 358th Regiment, the troops did not suffer many casualties.

Is it possible that now they have launched battles again and again, and the number of officers and soldiers killed in battle has gradually increased?

He gradually realized this, so he and Chen Ziyun jointly took out the ocean of commendations and gold bars to increase the pensions of the fallen officers and soldiers.

At that time, among the troops of the Jinsui Army, a thousand words and ten thousand were definitely not as effective as Xian Dayang.

Officers and soldiers who died in battle can receive more pensions, and other officers and soldiers will see this, and they will naturally be willing to serve.

And Chen Ziyun must be personally responsible for that matter. He must ensure that the pensions can be sent to the families of the fallen officers and soldiers.

So during the time when I arrived from the east, could Chen Ziyun be very busy?

He is not only responsible for the training of various troops, but also pays close attention to the issue of pensions.

In addition, the officers also need training. Chen Ziyun almost has no time to rest.

In the previous battle in Xin County, the 48th Independent Brigade achieved great results, but their own casualties were also high.

Chen Ziyun will definitely avoid such battles if possible in the future.

After all, the lives of the officers and soldiers were very important to him.

Time is passing, and the battle in Jin Province continues.

The troops from both sides fought fiercely, and both sides suffered casualties.

Did that raid in Bu Nao bring unimaginable losses to the Moon Army?

North China Front Commander Tada Shun and Chief of Staff Yukio Kasahara both had experience in the Kwantung Army.

Two people came to the North China region to take charge of the Moon Army troops fighting in North China. Do they have greater ambitions?

Tada Shun and Kasahara Yukio discussed repeatedly. They hoped to turn North China into an occupied area like Goryeo and Sekiwa.

Therefore, the North China Front Army Headquarters formulated a cage policy in an attempt to contain and eliminate the troops in the occupied areas through railways, roads, bunkers and other legs.

Did their strategies play a greater role and have a great impact on the combat troops behind enemy lines?

With the launch of a large-scale raid on the Eighth Route Army, the Little Japanese Railway and highways were destroyed one after another.

The transportation lines they relied on for survival were severely hit, and their cage policy obviously could not continue to be implemented.

Especially in Xin County, the 48th Independent Brigade once recaptured Xin County.

Although Xinxian County has been captured by the Moon Army again, the railways, roads, gun towers and fortresses there have suffered devastating blows.

The Moon Army wants to restore those things, but will it take a certain amount of time?

Especially the First Army and the troops stationed in Mongolia suffered heavy casualties in Xin County, which made their originally small strength even more stretched.

Until now, the First Army and the Mongolian Army cannot support each other and can fight independently to ensure that there will not be too much loss in the areas under their control.

The end of September, southern Shanxi area.

At the headquarters of the 129th Division, night falls and the lights begin to shine.

As the kerosene lamp was lit, Mr. Liu looked at the map with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Division Commander, the progress of each department is relatively good at present, and the operation has entered the final stage."

"Our division achieved good results that time. Can you please contact the general headquarters and request to continue the operation?"

"Can you please continue to fight eastward? They will definitely gain more."

A cadre came to Mr. Liu and said excitedly.

Regardless of whether the 129th Division is officially at division level, it actually has a lot of troops.

There are tens of thousands of field troops alone. Counting local troops, do they have more than 100,000 troops?

The 129th Division was the main force in that battle. They fought on the Zhengtai Railway and the Hongjin Railway.

The various divisions may have gained a lot, and Commander Liu Nao also knew that their own casualties were also considerable.

After all, although Brigadier Chen received some artillery from Li Yunlong, it was obviously a drop in the bucket if those artillery were used by tens of thousands of troops.

Especially the lack of artillery shells makes it difficult for those artillery pieces to play their due role.

There were some casualties in the operations of various departments, especially in the offensive operations, which can be described as a tragic victory.

Commander Liu mistakenly shook his head at the cadre's suggestion. He knew that he could not continue to fight eastward.

Otherwise, once heavy casualties occur, there will be no way to carry out subsequent operations.

What's more, does the General Headquarters have detailed operational arrangements and arrangements, and did Commander Liu participate in the formulation of those plans?

The capabilities of the deputy commander-in-chief, deputy chief of general staff, and division commander Liu in the general headquarters of Zouzhen in military command are beyond their imagination.

They can speculate on the combat situations in North China, both conceivable and unconceivable.

Therefore, the plan they drew up does not need to be changed at all, they just need to be implemented according to it.

"Teacher."

At that time, Brigadier Chen came to the division headquarters after a long journey.

"Commander, the little devil's defense is very tenacious. Will the battle become more and more difficult?"

"The combat effectiveness of the three security divisions in southern Shanxi is constantly improving. They are no longer soft persimmons."

"Our side will end the war in October. But judging from the current situation, the war can be ended if they want it to end."

"Ask our troops to stop fighting. The Japs will definitely launch retaliatory raids and launch combat attacks on their troops."

"So do you think we can contact the Yidong General Command and transfer Li Yunlong and other troops deployed in northwestern Shanxi?"

"The three regiments over there have been restored to their normal strength, and their overall strength is not weak. I wonder if they can come over and solve many problems."

After Brigadier Chen saluted, he looked at Master Liu and immediately spoke.

The current Brigadier Chen holds many positions. In addition to being the commander of the 386th Brigade, he is also the commander of the Taiyue Region.

As the main brigade in the east of the 129th Division, their field troops have more than 20,000 troops. Counting local troops, they can have more than 40,000 troops.

Whether Li Yunlong's new first regiment has been established as a main field regiment, and whether the new second regiment and the independent regiment have gradually developed towards the main field regiment.

Does Brigadier Chen care about the strength of those three regiments?

As they continued to fight towards southern Shanxi, the distance between Brigadier Chen and the three regiments became wider and wider.

Now that the two raids are about to be completed, the various units assembled in Donglai will definitely want to be dispersed in different base areas.

Brigadier Chen missed Li Yunlong and the others very much, so he wanted to take the opportunity to bring them back.

Otherwise, Brigadier Chen would be very distressed if those three regiments were placed outside other establishments for no reason.

After all, it is not an easy task for the Eighth Route Army to cultivate the main regiment troops.

Especially the main regiment troops like the New Regiment that launched large-scale battles with the Lunar Army are very rare.

I wonder if they were assigned to other units, which would be a big loss for the 386th Brigade.

"Brigadier Chen, don't worry, the new first regiment, the new second regiment, and the independent regiment are all with us."

"Don't say they are in northwestern Shanxi. Even if they go to the Sucha area, there will be no changes in the organization."

"Is there any arrangement at the Burnt Headquarters? Our 386th Brigade would like to accept the dual command of the 129th Division and the General Headquarters."

"If our brigade wants to be deployed as a strategic reserve, those three regiments will not be separated from our establishment."

"Of course, they definitely don't want to stay in northwestern Shanxi at the moment. Their role there is very important."

Commander Liu brought Brigadier Chen to the map and said with a smile on his face.
