As the three base areas slowly developed towards formality, Liu Hua's eyes began to slowly turn to the original long history. Before he came to this world, Yuanping, Wutai, Fu and other places were all Shanxi.
The scope of the Chaji Anti-Japanese Base Area, and after his arrival, it turned out to be his own base area. Moreover, there was no longer a heavy siege by the Japanese army on Wutai, Laiyuan, and Fuping in August... The long river of history has slowly been
Change it yourself. However, this is limited to the pattern of the War of Resistance in Yuanping, Wutai, Fuping, Pingding and other places, and does not affect the pattern of the War of Resistance in the entire North China.
Liu Hua slowly looked at the huge map hanging on the wall. According to the markings on the map, his base area now covers at least 6 counties. In general, the base area forms a triangle, in which
A corner is inserted right between the Japanese army's Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang, and can cut off the railway artery between the two places at any time. The strength of the base area, the main force, plus various local errors, has slowly approached 20,000 people. It can be said that this has become the entire
An anti-Japanese force in North China that cannot be underestimated.
In terms of military industry, with the support of a large number of railway tracks, our own arsenal has produced several sets of machine tools based on the original ones. With the support of these machine tools, our own arsenal can already produce bullets, mortar shells, etc.
All kinds of ammunition. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, it can guarantee the combat supplies of at least three regiments. It can be said to be worse than the Huangyadong Arsenal at the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
Similarly, not only Liu Hua himself, but also the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Japanese Army North China Headquarters, and even the Chairman and others far away along the coast noticed his base area.
At this time, the chairman who was far away in Yan'an was also staring at the North China region on the map. With the continuous victories of the brigades of Liu Hua's independent division, there were more and more red flags on the map in front of the chairman. Slowly, a triangle was gradually formed.
The area covers a vast area of six counties in Jinyi. It can be said to be a base area that cannot be underestimated behind enemy lines.
More importantly, the base area cuts directly into the railway hub between Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang. As long as necessary, he can completely paralyze the connection between Shijiazhuang and Taiyuan overnight. Similarly, Fuping County, the northernmost part of the base area, can
It directly threatened the Japanese army in the Pingjin area. Yuanping County and Pingding County directly surrounded Taiyuan, the important town of the Japanese army in North China. It was a base area with a very important strategic position.
"Boss, what do you think of the current independent division..." the chairman asked, looking at the commander-in-chief who had returned to Yan'an.
"It's Liu Hua's independent division. I didn't expect Liu Hua to have such a strategic vision and a good way of leading troops. In less than half a year, he actually expanded the base area several times and the number of troops increased by at least one.
"It can be said that the current independent division is once again a powerful force of our party and our Eighth Route Army." When Liu Hua was mentioned, the commander-in-chief immediately became happy and said with a smile.
"Haha, it seems that the boss likes this Liu Hua very much!" the chairman replied with a smile.
"Well, of course I like him. I have fallen in love with him since the Long March on the Xiangjiang River, when he took the remnants of the army he took in to create an independent division after being defeated. He is a rare general. Not only does he have excellent commanding skills
, he is very outstanding in all aspects. I really can’t understand how a rural boy from the countryside can have such high commanding skills." The commander-in-chief could not help but praise Liu Hua and everyone.
"Well, actually I can't figure it out. Forget it. If you can't figure it out, let's stop thinking about it. Boss, take a look at the location and scope of Comrade Liu Hua's current Jindong base area. What can you tell?" | The chairman suddenly became confused.
He became serious and pointed at the assessment area on the map.
"Well, the south side directly cuts off the traffic from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan, and even the whole of Taiyuan is surrounded by it. As long as the Fuping area in the north develops northward, it can directly threaten the Pingjin area of the Japanese headquarters in North China. In addition, the back
Taihang Mountain and Wutai Mountain are strategically important areas that can be advanced, attacked, retreated and defended." The commander-in-chief pondered,
"I think so too. Boss, where does Liu Hua's Jindong base belong to now? Also, the name of the base should also be changed. After all, the place has become several times bigger." said the commander-in-chief.
"I think it's okay. We'll call Vice Chairman Zhou and the others to discuss whether we should rename it. Also, we have seen the organization of the base area, such a strategically important area, and the Japanese army has also seen it. The Japanese army will never do it.
If they tolerate such a threat by their side, they will definitely try every means to deal with the independent division, so the troop establishment must be expanded." the commander-in-chief suggested.
"Okay, I think tonight, call Enlai and the others over, let's discuss it..."
The Japanese Army's North China Headquarters. General Juichi Terauchi, the supreme commander, was sitting in the commander's position, looking coldly at a series of battle reports on the table: The nine-way siege of the Eighth Route Army's Shandong base ended in failure with the loss of a main regiment.
Immediately afterwards, the assassination of the supreme commander of the Eighth Route Independent Division also failed, and a senior intelligence officer was lost. Then the Chinese army actually created a false impression and occupied the entire Yuanping area with lightning speed, although the county seat was finally recaptured.
, but so far, not only Yuanping, but also the rural areas of the surrounding counties have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. What makes me even more angry is that the Eighth Route Independent Division actually reached out to Hebei and occupied nearly half of Fuping County.
of rural areas…
Looking at the series of damage reports, Touichi Terauchi slammed the table.
"Baga, what kind of army is the Eighth Route Independent Division? Why are the excellent Imperial Army soldiers so vulnerable in front of the Eighth Route Independent Division? Let the intelligence department be dispatched immediately. The Eighth Route Independent Division and its supreme commander Liu Hua must be killed.
Investigate all the situations clearly." The commander loudly reprimanded the surrounding staff officers.
Facing the commander's reprimand, everyone remained silent and lowered their heads quietly. The entire command center was silent. Slowly, General Touichi Terauchi calmed down.
"Staff Headquarters, immediately formulate a battle plan. I am preparing to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation against the Eighth Route Independent Division. I will dispatch the garrison troops in Shanxi and Hebei, with a strength of about 50,000 people. In addition to the newly organized puppet troops from various places, the public security
Army, the total strength will reach 70,000. This time I must destroy the Eighth Route Independent Division in one fell swoop. As for the name of this campaign, it is called the Winter Encirclement and Suppression Operation. The time is set for December 1st. The specific combat tasks will be discussed and handed over to the Staff Headquarters.
I review it. I hope that everyone who is doing this must work together. For the sake of the Emperor and the future of the Japanese Empire, we cannot tolerate such a powerful force lying beside us. Also, from now on, order Shijiazhuang and Taiyuan to start
Secretly prepare all materials and troops for this encirclement and suppression operation." General Juichi Terauchi ordered to the chief of staff beside him.
"Hey, I will definitely give you the most perfect combat plan to the commander in the shortest possible time." The chief of staff replied quickly.
"Yoshi, please go out, I want to be quiet..."
"Hi..." everyone replied in unison and slowly walked out of the Commander's office.
At this time, the headquarters of the Jindong base area was not at all alert that the Japs were about to encircle and suppress heavy troops, but was full of excitement, laughter and chatter everywhere. Because, just this morning, October 1, the Independent Division received a joint letter from the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
telegram.
"Change the Jindong base area to the Jinyi base area, commander Liu Hua, political commissar Guan Xiangying, chief of staff Li Qing, chairman of the base government Xiao Ping, director of the general logistics department Wang Daoguang, director of the base intelligence department Meng Zhongheng, director of the security department
Qian Zhonghua... has jurisdiction over three military divisions... In order to cope with the upcoming heavy encirclement and suppression campaign by the Japanese army, the base force establishment has been expanded to nine main regiments..."
"Comrade Commander, we have been promoted with you again, haha..." After reading the telegram, the political commissar next to him was full of disbelief. However, after he calmed down, he was full of excitement. Because now his independent division finally has another chance.
established its own independent base area, and the base area was directly under the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
"Political Commissar, you are joking, what do you mean by following me? This is the result of our joint efforts. The establishment of the military region is the central government's recognition of our work in the past six months. At the same time, the tasks on our shoulders have also become much heavier.
!" Liu Hua was not too surprised when he saw the telegram from the central government, because with his current strength, it would be a matter of time before he established a base.
"Political commissar, send electricity to the three brigade commanders, ask them to leave the matters at hand to the chief of staff for the time being, and take the political commissar to Zhangjiazhuang as quickly as possible. We must complete the work of establishing the base area in the shortest possible time.
According to the central telegram, the Japanese army will definitely send out heavy troops to deal with our newly established base area in the near future." Liu Hua said to the political commissar beside him.
"Okay, I'll send the report right away. Based on their distance, I think the date of the meeting will be set on the night of the 3rd. What do you think?" the political commissar asked.
"Okay, I agree..." Liu Hua answered decisively.
In this way, on the night of the 3rd, several giants from the base area gathered together again. The brothers were particularly affectionate when they met, especially on the plateaus as far away as Yuanping and Fuping. Wang Nanhu and others were extremely excited when they saw Liu Hua and others.
"Division commander, political commissar, chief of staff, we are back..." Guan Xiangying, Li Qing, Wang Nanhu, Gao Yuan and others saluted excitedly when they saw Liu Hua who came to greet him.
"Well, it's good to come back. If you rush back in such a hurry, you must not have eaten yet. Let's go. The political commissar and I will treat you to a treat tonight and give you a refreshment. Then, we will have a meeting in the evening." Liu Hua looked at the increasingly mature couple.
