997 Our Eighth Route Army is definitely not like that...(1/2)
A large-scale battle that affected Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Inner Mongolia, and even Beijing, involving the armed forces of both sides, including the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army as the main force, and the Shanxi-Sui Army, the local national army, and the Chiang Kai-shek Army as the supplement.
This gradually comes to an end.
The Eighth Route Army became a well-deserved winner.
The majesty of the Japanese army was completely lost, and the morale of the three armies was greatly weakened.
After the battle, the Japanese army was like a wounded beast. Even though it still had residual power, it was just licking its wounds.
The losses of manpower and material resources need to be compensated everywhere.
The stability of various public security districts is in constant turmoil, and the quasi-public security districts are even more in danger.
The Japanese army has neither the inclination nor the energy to take major military action against the Eighth Route Army troops.
For the various units of the Eighth Route Army after a great victory, it was an excellent time for the fighting to end, for the troops to renovate, replenish, learn, grow rapidly during the war, and rise rapidly through post-war summarization and learning.

Each base area took the opportunity to open up connections with each other and completely break the Japanese army's blockade defense line.
Further expand the impact and results of this battle in local struggles.
On the other side, there are some people who have mixed feelings.
For example, our Chairman, following this large-scale confrontation between the Japanese Army and the Eighth Route Army, after a real fight between the two sides.
When the battle came to an end, the Eighth Route Army became the victorious party.
Our chairman’s heart is quite complicated.
On the one hand, they are happy that the Eighth Route Army once again defeated the Japanese army, and it was a victory of such a large scale and composed of multiple battles. This will inevitably form a greater containment of the Japanese army behind enemy lines, making it impossible for the Japanese army to shift its focus to the frontal battlefield.
This will greatly reduce the combat pressure on Chiang Kai-shek's troops on the frontal battlefield.
On the one hand, it is depressing. Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek's army has been fighting to the death on the frontal battlefield. How many patriotic officers and soldiers have fought desperately against the Japanese invaders. However, they have still suffered repeated defeats and finally lost half of the country.
For this, Your Excellency Chairman, you can attribute these to the strong industrial strength of the Japanese military. The Japanese military troops are well-equipped and have amazing combat effectiveness.
But just like this, the Japanese army, which made the Chiang Kai-shek troops on the frontal battlefield change their minds, was defeated by the mere Eighth Route Army troops behind enemy lines.
There is no harm without comparison.
As this battle came to an end, and as the battle spread to many provinces, the image of the Eighth Route Army heroically resisting the Japanese and defeating the Japanese aggressors emerged. With the spread of propaganda in various provinces and regions, more and more ordinary people were concerned about the Eighth Route Army's resistance to the Japanese.
Heroic actions are increasingly supported and are simply what the people want.
So the depression quickly turned into worry and fear.
The Chairman is very worried! He is worried that the increasingly powerful Eighth Route Army will one day threaten his absolute position.
With the transfer of people's hearts, if this continues, the people in the entire land of China may only know the Eighth Route Army and not the Chiang Kai-shek Army!
What to do?
"Hit!"
During the meeting of the Chiang Kai-shek Military Commission, the chairman of the committee slammed the table and said very clearly: "Nang Xipi, since the outbreak of the Pacific War, we have fully declared war on Japan. The Japanese army is present on two or even multiple fronts. In the Pacific battlefield,
, they are present in every battlefield in Southeast Asia.
The quality of the Japanese troops in China has obviously declined seriously.
Now, even these mere Eighth Route Army units behind enemy lines can turn the Japanese army upside down.
You are all Huangpu elites, battle-hardened generals.
Could it be that the Eighth Route Army was able to win the battle, but our Central Army could only suffer defeat after defeat?"
The Chairman, who was getting more and more angry as he spoke, looked at the generals in front of him who had some evasive eyes and even lowered their heads, and then thought about what the Eighth Route Army troops had done.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, who were sent back, were only the regimental commander and detachment captain, and they were able to achieve a huge victory.
He felt more and more pity that so many tiger generals and elites who could fight had ended up in the Eighth Route Army camp?
Of course, there are some long-faced people in the national army.
For example, Commander Fu, the commander of the 35th Route Army, took advantage of the battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army to launch a surprise attack on Baotou, the base camp of the Mongolian Army, and won a big victory.
The chairman of the committee naturally boasted about this.
It's just that compared with the victories fought by the Eighth Route Army, these achievements are a bit inadequate, and the light has been completely blocked.
"Niang Xipi, fight! Take the opportunity to launch an active attack on the frontal battlefield and catch the Japanese army by surprise!"
Xiang, who thought he was a military expert, issued the order in a fit of rage.
So...perhaps because they were jealous of the victories won by the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army on the frontal battlefield launched an attack on the Japanese defense area.
So... the little devil was extremely happy. He had lost all his face due to the disastrous defeat at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and was just thinking of winning a few battles to consolidate the empire's military power! Then the Central Army came, and someone gave him a pillow if he really fell asleep!
So... in just three days, there were three battlefields and six battles. The Central Army used more than three divisions of troops. The result was a disastrous defeat, with more than 3,000 battle losses.
So... Jiang Jun, who had been repeatedly defeated in battles, was finally beaten to his knees.
Obviously, even if the Japanese army is already skinny as a camel, they are not someone they can bully.
As a fig leaf, the propaganda spread quickly:
Good name:
In order to cooperate with the operations of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines, our Central Army troops launched an active attack on the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield. All officers and soldiers fought bravely and fought to the death. The fierce battle lasted for more than three days, forcing the Japanese army to comprehensively strengthen the frontal defense line and contain a large number of Japanese troops, which caused the rear
The empty troops greatly facilitated the advancement of the battlefield behind enemy lines.
From what I mean, it can be said that the Eighth Route Army was able to win the battle behind enemy lines only because of the heroic fighting of our Central Army on the frontal battlefield.
The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
When the deputy chief of general staff slowly read out the report issued by Jiang Jun, the cadres were speechless for a moment.
What else can you say?
Jiang Jun said that the attack launched on the frontal battlefield contained the Japanese troops and covered the operations on the battlefield behind enemy lines. That can be considered a credit!

……
"Niang Xipi!!!"
After the multi-party attack failed miserably, the Chairman scolded him fiercely. Being slapped in the face by reality, he finally realized that the Eighth Route Army was able to win the battle not because the Japanese army was too weak.
At least the Japanese army they faced was still too strong for them to attack.
From this point of view, this frontal offensive is not feasible, and we can only find another way.
What can we do? Soon someone gave advice to the Chairman:
"After the Hundred Regiments War, the Japanese army has shifted a large part of its focus to the battlefield against the Eighth Route Army troops behind enemy lines.
However, although the Japanese army began to pay attention to dealing with the Eighth Route Army, they still did not shift all their focus. They still did not give up fighting on the frontal battlefield.
This time the Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Eighth Route Army. They should completely wake up. For their Japanese troops, the biggest threat now is not our Central Army troops on the frontal battlefield, but those who are growing stronger behind enemy lines.
The Eighth Route Army.
To this end, Chairman, we might as well add another fire!"
"What fire?"
"Praise to kill!"
"Help publicize the heroic achievements of the Eighth Route Army in defeating the Japanese army, especially the rapid development, sophisticated equipment, and powerful combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and further acknowledge and even publicly state that the Eighth Route Army is an indelible backbone force in the fight against the Japanese army.
p>
We can even arrange for all international reporters to come over, and through further interviews, we can expose more and more of the Eighth Route Army's hidden strengths, so as to arouse the Japanese military's growing fear.
As a result, sooner or later the Japanese army will put all its focus on the Eighth Route Army!"
In deep thought, the Chairman touched his head, which was gradually becoming bald due to worrying about state affairs and having no food and clothing. His face, which had been gloomy for several days, finally turned into a smile.
The matter was settled like that.
……
At this time, the farce came to an end as Chiang Kai-shek took the initiative to attack the Japanese army.
The large-scale battles between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army have all ended, and only some local exchanges of fire have not stopped.
At this point, the winter counterattack spearheaded by the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment in Northwestern Shanxi led by Kong Jie has completely entered its final stage.
As the most dazzling protagonist in the entire battle.
There were many reporters who had ideas about Kong Jie. Fortunately, Kong Jie thought quickly and found reporter Shen to help publish a report, deliberately emphasizing that after the mechanized combat troops made a surprise attack on Datong, they penetrated long distances and even penetrated the entire central Shandong area. Combat.
It was under the unified command of the wise old brigade commander, the concerted efforts of the new first regiment, the new second regiment, the first team, and the former iron triangle, and under the overall layout of the general headquarters, that the victory was won.
No matter who takes the credit, it is always the leader’s credit. This is absolutely correct!
This is also true. This time, whether it is the battle plan proposed by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong to surprise Datong with a quick reaction force, or the follow-up battle plan of dividing the troops into two groups to meet in central Shandong.
Without the decisive judgment and strong support of the wise commanders of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, as well as the overall arrangement and cooperation, it would have been impossible to achieve the final results.
To be continued...
