The New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Frontline General Headquarters.
With the end of the Jinzhou Campaign, the New Regiment and the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region rested here for a short period of time.
During this period, the people who were relocated returned to this area one after another.
When these common people learned that the Japanese from the three divisions had been eliminated, they couldn't help crying with joy.
All the young adults in this area want to join the Eighth Route Army.
However, this is not the time for the Eighth Route Army to recruit troops. These young and middle-aged men have been assigned to the logistics department to deal with the corpses of the Japanese.
When they arrived at the battlefield, the common people looked at the piles of Japanese corpses and were shocked and speechless.
It was the first time for almost all ordinary people to see this scene.
In addition to seeing piles of Japanese corpses, I also saw a cannon and tanks from the Eighth Route Army.
"The Jizhong Military Region suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and our new regiment suffered more than 1,000 casualties."
"annihilated the Japanese 11th Division, 40th Division, and 56th Division, killing 3 lieutenant generals and 2 major generals."
"More than 10,000 firearms were seized."
"More than 700 trucks."
“More than 3,400 mules and horses”
"More than 300 Japanese soldiers were captured."
"..."
In the headquarters.
Li Yunlong crossed his legs and listened to Zhao Gang's report on the results and losses. After reading them one by one, Captain Li looked extremely satisfied.
On the day of the general offensive, although the enemy engineering department of the new regiment did not shout to the Japanese.
But after an hour of shelling and aerial bombs clearing the ground, there was an iron rolling sweep.
Still hundreds of Japanese surrendered.
Without exception, these devils were stunned by the bombing.
Fear of the Eighth Route Army's firepower arose.
Here is the discipline of the Eighth Route Army. If a Japanese soldier throws away his gun and raises his hands to surrender on the battlefield, he cannot kill the prisoner.
However, in the New Regiment, it was impossible to receive preferential treatment for the Japanese who surrendered.
Even Japanese who surrender will be investigated.
Anyone who has harmed Chinese people or misappropriated their property will be shot in front of the people after a public trial.
It doesn’t matter the soldier’s rank or identity.
"More than 700 vehicles, more than 3,000 mules and horses, as well as captured weapons and ammunition, as well as various combat supplies, have all been handed over to the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region."
After finishing reading, Zhao Gang added another sentence.
After this battle, the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region made a huge fortune.
Li Yunlong said: "In addition to these weapons, ammunition and baggage, after this battle is over, we can send some cannons to the Central Hebei Military Region."
Nowadays, Li Yunlong is quite wealthy, and he is not stingy at all with his brother troops who cooperate with the new regiment.
If it were not for the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region fighting the Japanese in Jinzhou.
It is impossible for the new regiment to completely annihilate these three Japanese divisions.
Of course, the first contribution to this victory cannot be attributed to the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region.
After all, with the strength of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Military Region troops, it was impossible to kill the Japanese from these three divisions.
"I agree."
Zhao Gang nodded:
"After this battle, it can be seen that the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region are an invincible and invincible team. It is a pity that our Eighth Route Army does not have many Type 56 guns."
"If all the troops in the Central Hebei Military Region are equipped with Type 56 firearms, their combat effectiveness can be improved by at least two levels."
"Sooner or later," Li Yunlong said, "Sooner or later, the troops in central Hebei will be equipped with Type 56 firearms."
Of course, the reason why Li Yunlong is so generous.
On the other hand, it was also because District Chief Lu of the Central Hebei Military Region Headquarters personally promised to give Li Yunlong 50,000 high-quality militiamen after this battle.
The last 50,000 high-quality militiamen, after half a year of training, have become the main force of the new regiment.
Many of the troops joining the new regiment in this battle were former militia members of the Central Hebei Military Region.
"Lao Li, didn't you say that Boss Chen would come to our place today?"
Zhao Gang put away the documents, looked at Li Yunlong and asked:
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Li Yunlong took out his pocket watch, took a look at it, and said, "It should be soon, right?"
"What are you doing, Boss Chen?" Zhao Gang said with doubtful eyes, "Do we need to settle the weapons and ammunition for killing three divisions first?"
"Settlement is only one aspect." Li Yunlong said, "Boss Chen said there is new business."
"New business?" Zhao Gang's expression suddenly changed, with a look of expectation on his face.
At this moment, the communications staff officer, holding a telegram in his hand, walked in quickly, saluted with a military salute, and reported: "Report to the head of the regiment, political commissar, the telegram of the North Road Attack Group!"
"give it to me."
Zhao Gang took the telegram and read it.
The communications staff officer left quickly.
Soon, Zhao Gang finished reading the telegram. As he spoke, he handed the telegram in his hand to Li Yunlong:
"The Japanese battle plan has changed. The Japanese 1st, 26th, and 71st Divisions did not abandon Zhangjiakou and retreat to the mountains as expected."
"The main force of the Japanese troops from these three divisions retreated to Zhangjiakou City, preparing to engage in street fighting with our North Road Attack Group."
After hearing this, Li Yunlong took the telegram and read it. He thought for a moment and then couldn't help but feel slightly happy.
"When did that old devil Okamura Neji become so stupid?"
Apart from being happy, Li Yunlong also had a look of doubt on his face.
"What?" Zhao Gang looked confused.
Li Yunlong said: "In this battle, my tactic is to use a pincer offensive to attack Peiping. I don't believe Okamura Neji can't figure it out."
"The Japs in Zhangjiakou have placed their main forces in the city to fight street battles with our Eighth Route Army North Road Attack Group."
"Then, our Eighth Route Army North Attack Group can completely clear the Japanese positions outside the city."
"Then bypass Zhangjiakou and go straight to Peiping or Baoding."
When Zhao Gang heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face:
"In this way, our pincer offensive tactics have been completely formed."
"As for the three Japanese divisions in Zhangjiakou, they can wait until North China is recovered and then go back and take care of them slowly."
"The main force of the Japs in these three divisions is in Zhangjiakou. Even if there are Japs defending the mountainous terrain, there will definitely not be many."
"It is not difficult for the Eighth Route Army of the North Attack Group to break through the Japanese defense line with its tanks, heavy artillery, and air support."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Gang looked at the map again and continued to say with a smile:
"Once the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment are allowed to enter the North China Plain, the sea will be as wide as the fish can leap, and the sky is as high as the birds can fly."
"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded, thinking that Lao Zhao's reaction was quite fast.
soon.
The second telegram from the North Route Attack Group arrived.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie asked Li Yunlong for instructions.
Should Kong Jie be allowed to lead an independent regiment to surround the Japanese in Zhangjiakou?
To prevent the Japanese from attacking the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi.
A tactic used to prevent the Japanese from attacking Wei and rescuing Zhao.
However, it was denied by Li Yunlong.
The Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were ordered to clear Zhangjiakou's peripheral positions and immediately continue to advance westward, entering the North China Plain and attacking in the direction of Beiping.
On the one hand, there are enough troops left in northwestern Shanxi to resist the Japanese attack.
On the other hand, if the main force of the Japanese forces leaves Zhangjiakou, the local troops of the Eighth Route Army, such as the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Hebei Re-Liaoning Army, can recapture Zhangjiakou.
Also, how long can the Japanese attack in northwestern Shanxi last without logistical supplies?
Li Yunlong didn't believe it.
Peiping, Baoding and Tianjin were almost recaptured by the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese were still in the mood to attack northwest Shanxi.
About half an hour later, Boss Chen sent a radio call.
It is said that they have arrived near Li Yunlong's headquarters.
Li Yunlong immediately led the sword brigade to greet him in person.
Not long after, Boss Chen was invited to the regiment headquarters by Li Yunlong and his sword brigade.
"Boss Li, Boss Zhao, congratulations on getting rich." In the new group headquarters, Chen Feng said with a smile.
"We are happy together, we are happy together." Seeing Chen Feng, Zhao Gang beamed.
"Haha!" Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Why don't our new group rely entirely on Boss Chen to make a fortune?"
All kinds of good wine and delicious food were served one after another by the cooking team.
Fresh horse meat and fresh donkey meat are fragrant.
Li Yunlong knew that Chen Feng was a heavy drinker, so all he served was beer.
Li Yunlong informed Chen Feng that he was coming, so he ordered the cooking team to prepare good wine and delicious food for him in advance.
Li Yunlong said: "Brother Chen, please forgive me for my poor hospitality."
Li Yunlong discovered that Chen Feng is now more and more handsome, with piercing eyes, and others can tell at a glance that he is not easy to mess with.
He heard Chen Feng mention that in the past two years, Boss Chen could no longer play poker with the female bodyguard.
Instead, he is practicing hard with Yan Shuangying and Shi Aimin, and he must have achieved some success now.
"During this battle, there will be so many food and drinks, Boss Li is very interested."
Chen Feng nodded with a satisfied expression.
Li Yunlong was secretly happy, as long as Boss Chen was satisfied, everything would be easy.
After a pause, Chen Feng continued: "In this battle, Boss Li and Boss Zhao led their troops to wipe out the Japanese 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division, killing 3 Japanese lieutenant generals and 2 major generals.
, among which the 11th Division is a Type A division. According to the 3 times calculation, killing the Type A division commander is equivalent to killing 3 ordinary lieutenant general division commanders. Then the quota for this battle is 120,000 Japanese soldiers and 5
Quota for lieutenant generals and 6 major generals.”
"Do you want to exchange weapons and ammunition now?"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, both seeing deep joy in each other's eyes!
Although the two of them had already settled the matter in private, boss Chen's words still made them excited.
The price of killing the A-type division commander and brigade commander has increased!
The total strength of a Type A division is about 30,000, and that of a Type B division is 15,000.
Calculated based on three times the business quota, the quota for severely damaging or completely annihilating a fully-equipped Japanese A division would be 90,000.
In this battle, 1 A-type division and 2 B-type divisions were completely annihilated, which is a quota of 120,000.
To kill an ordinary division commander, the quota is 24 203mm heavy howitzers, 24 Katyusha rocket launchers, as well as trucks, fuel and other materials, ordnance production lines, as well as corresponding technical data and assistance.
Killing the division commander of one Class A division is equivalent to killing three division commanders of Class B divisions.
"Let's wait until this battle is over before redeeming it."
Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang and said.
Although the weapons and ammunition they obtained were reliable, after so many business transactions, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had great trust in Boss Chen.
Rifles, cannons, tanks and aircraft, and even warships, Boss Chen has never defaulted.
Therefore, the weapons and ammunition were placed with Boss Chen, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang felt relieved.
Li Yunlong hasn't even used the quota he used to severely damage the Japanese 9th Division last time.
After a pause, Li Yunlong asked again: "Brother Chen, has the price of killing Japanese generals in the Class A division increased recently?"
Li Yunlong remembered that it used to be double, but now the business of killing the lieutenant general and major general of the Class A division has become triple.
"That's right!" Chen Feng nodded, "This is the new business I'm talking about."
When Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard this, they immediately put down their chopsticks and listened carefully.
Regarding the new business, both of them looked forward to it.
Chen Feng said: "This new business is a long-term business."
"Long-term business?"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked stunned.
"That's right!"
Chen Feng continued:
"This business is issued in the form of a reward, open to the entire Eighth Route Army. The target is the heads of Japanese war criminals. No matter which unit of your Eighth Route Army can kill the Japanese war criminals, it will be rewarded three times as much as ordinary Japanese division lieutenant generals and ordinary brigade major generals.
price."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's eyes lit up slightly, this time the reward business was a bit interesting.
Zhao Gang asked: "Brother Chen, what does it mean to be a Japanese war criminal?"
Although Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were very busy, when Boss Chen came to the new group, they pushed everything aside.
The two of them accompanied each other personally.
"Brother Zhao, this is a good question." Chen Feng clapped his palms twice.
Footsteps sounded at the door. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang followed the sound and saw Yan Shuangying walking in with a large lockbox in his hand.
"Open it."
Chen Feng ordered.
Yan Shuangying immediately opened the password box and held the box to his chest. The documents in the box faced Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at the box and saw that the box was full of various intelligence materials.
The two of them each took a piece of intelligence information and read it.
The first thing that caught my eye were the words "Japanese War Criminals List".
The first one on the list is the Japanese locust. If you kill the Japanese locust, the price... will be rewarded to Miss Qiu.
Ranked second is Japanese Prime Minister Hideji Tojo.
Under the name Tojo Eiji, there is also a photo of Tojo Eiji. Through the photo, Li Yunlong knew for the first time what the Japanese Prime Minister looked like.
Like Chiang Kai-shek, Tojo Eiji had a bald head, wore a pair of black round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a thick beard under his nose. His whole face looked completely treacherous and fierce.
Let people know at a glance that this person is not a good person.
There are not only photos of Eiji Tojo, but also an introduction to Eiji Tojo: Known as a war madman, he is one of the three fascist leaders along with Hitler and Mussolini. He is an executioner whose hands are filled with the blood of millions of people in China.
.
Kill Tojo Eiji, the price is... to reward Miss Qiu.
Regarding the price of killing the Japs and the Prime Minister, the intelligence information did not specify it. Li Yunlong didn't know whether it was because Boss Chen hadn't figured it out yet or because he didn't know what to give.
But what exactly is this Miss Qiu?
Li Yunlong looked puzzled. This was the second time he heard Boss Chen say this.
Li Yunlong continued to take out intelligence materials from the lockbox. In addition to Tojo Hideji, there were also important Japanese military officers, all of whom were on the list of war criminals: Okamura Neiji, Hayashi Senjuro, Abe Nobuyuki, Koiso Kuniaki, Okada Keisuke, Yoneuchi
Mitsumasa, Minamijiro, Sadao Araki, Juichi Terauchi, Gen Sugiyama, Seishiro Itagaki, Shunroku Hata, Yoshijiro Umezu, Miji Takekawa, Toshishiro Obata, Kingoro Hashimoto and hundreds of others.
