"Comrades, now, through everyone's expressions, I can clearly see that everyone is very confident that we have occupied the entire Shanxi Province. However, we do not have any pride, because in the entire Shanxi Province
After all, there are still more than 20,000 imps and a large number of puppet troops within the scope." After saying this, Liu Hua smiled and continued.
"At the same time, these tens of thousands of puppet troops still have solid city defenses that they can hold on to. Therefore, while we are confident, we must also be fully prepared. This time, our 12 main regiments suffered direct losses in total.
More than 3,800 soldiers were divided up, and each regiment lost almost one to one company of troops. Therefore, I hope that after you go back, you will immediately reorganize the troops to a certain extent and replenish the weapons and ammunition we captured this time. In a word
, we must restore the combat effectiveness of the troops in the shortest possible time. How about it, do you have confidence?" Liu Hua ordered loudly.
"Yes...yes..." Everyone's roars immediately rang out in the conference room.
"Very well, I will give you a day to repair today. One day later, that is, in the early hours of this evening, all troops will set off immediately to prepare to attack Shanxi, eliminate all the remaining Japs in Shanxi, and liberate the entire Shanxi. As for Shanxi
The specific mission of the division is as follows: the first brigade of the direct column is assigned to the first regiment of the second division to carry out an outflank from the left wing, and the second brigade is assigned to the second regiment of the *** to conduct an outflank from the left wing. The remaining troops are personally commanded by me to carry out
A frontal attack. When the time comes, we will attack step by step and completely eliminate all Japanese and puppet troops in the entire western Shanxi area." Liu Hua ordered loudly.
"Yes, Commander..." After hearing what Mayor Liu Hua said, everyone replied excitedly, their faces shining with excitement.
Therefore, in the following time, the entire nine main regiments of the direct column plus the three main regiments of the second division immediately entered a state of rest and preparation, preparing for the evening attack. At the same time, the heavy artillery regiment, air defense regiment
The regiment also began to take action, quickly placing artillery pieces one by one. Under the command of the soldiers, they began to load vehicles and prepare to attack with the group;
However, at noon that day, a telegram from the special operations brigade caught the attention of division commander Liu Hua, who was so excited that he had to change his plan to find your brother to attack Shanxi. As for the telegram,
The specific content is that the garrisons in various counties in western Shanxi, except for all the puppet troops who still stick to their own defense areas, the remaining Japanese troops have left the county towns with solid defense fortifications and began to retreat in an attempt to
Before the Eighth Route Army surrounded it, it withdrew from the entire Shanxi Province to preserve its limited forces.
"I didn't expect that Jun Tada, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in North China, knew how to preserve his own strength. It seems that we still underestimated Jun Tada." After reading the intelligence sent by the special operations brigade in his hand, division commander Liu Hua shook his head and said to himself
He said softly, obviously very surprised by the little devil's decision to abandon Shanxi.
"Division Commander, do you want to order the troops to stop resting and recuperate? Set out now and pursue the enemy immediately. Maybe if time passes, you can stop a lot of little Japs." The telegram sent by the special operations brigade was circulated to several brigades.
After getting into the hands of the commander, brigade commander Shen Qinghua stood up first and said bitterly.
"Forget it, it's too late. Not to mention that we are still nearly a hundred kilometers away from Shanxi. As for the soldiers, after a day and night of fighting, everyone is very tired and does not have enough experience to fight.
Chasing the Japs. This time we let go of the 20,000 Japs. However, if the Japs retreat, we can capture the entire Shanxi Province without a single blow and liberate Shanxi. This is also good news for us."
After listening to Shen Qinghua's suggestion, division commander Liu Hua shook his head and said.
"Commander, since the Japs have retreated, only the puppet troops are left in the entire western Shanxi. I think that to deal with these puppet troops, we have too many troops to attack western Shanxi. Do you want to change it?"
Here's a battle plan." As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, temporary chief of staff Wang Benqing stood up and pointedly stated what his troops should change after the enemy's situation changed.
"Well, now that the Japanese army has retreated, there is no need for the nine main regiments directly under the column to continue to Shanxi. Besides, Shanxi is connected to Shaanxi. In Shaanxi, there is also a left-behind regiment of our Eighth Route Army, with a strength of nearly ten thousand people.
There are enough troops to support us. In this way, the task of attacking Shanxi will be handed over to the three *** regiments of the second division. The direct column, the artillery regiment, the air defense regiment, and the armored regiment will return to Taiyuan immediately with me.
We gathered there to wait for the good news from the plateau." Division Commander Liu Hua thought for a moment and ordered loudly.
"Yes, division commander..." the three brigade commanders replied at the same time.
Because the troops carried a large amount of equipment, the marching speed was very slow. Division Commander Liu Hua did not advance with the main force. Instead, he rode a war horse under the protection of a guard battalion. It only took less than half a day to complete the march.
At eight o'clock that night, I rushed to Taiyuan City and met the political commissar Luo Ronghuan who came to greet me.
"Sir, I really didn't expect that more than 20,000 little Japs would die in the hands of our *** division. I couldn't believe it after I received your unpacking instructions." I saw that the man in front of me was several years younger than myself.
The 20-year-old mayor Liu Hua and the political commissar Luo Ronghuan were excited and said with smiles on their faces.
"Well, political commissar. I didn't expect it to happen so soon. But such a great victory was obtained by the soldiers with their own lives and blood. By the way, political commissar, is there any news about Jun Tada who is far away in Shijiazhuang? As long as
The little devils entered our base area. I immediately mobilized the main force and launched an encirclement and annihilation battle for my sister-in-law to eat them all." Facing the excited political commissar, Mayor Liu Hua said with a smile.
"Mayor, don't worry! The underground party in the Shijiazhuang area has just sent us the latest information. Tada Jun, who flew to Shijiazhuang, immediately canceled the troop deployment when he learned that his 20,000-strong army had been wiped out by us.
Even Tada Shun himself is staying behind closed doors. If nothing else happens, after this battle is announced, the supreme commander of the Japanese Army's North China Residential Army will have to be replaced again." Seeing the weathered face.
Division Commander Liu Hua held hands tightly, and Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said quickly.
"Well, the Japs have lost so many people at once, including the entire Shanxi Province, so changing the commander is a sure thing. However, our first priority is not the Japs, but how to liberate the entire Shanxi and build Shanxi into our
*** Division, and even the iron base of our Eighth Route Army." Liu Hua said loudly.
"Political Commissar, although our crisis has been temporarily relieved during this period, we cannot relax at all. Our *** division has just taken over almost half of the entire Taiyuan, so there are many things to be busy with.
In addition, the tens of thousands of puppet troops in western Shanxi are also a big trouble." Division Commander Liu Hua continued.
While talking, the group of people had already reached the location of the headquarters. As Liu Hua returned to the Taiyuan *** Division headquarters, the first thing he had to face were the dozens of counties in western Shanxi. Although, dozens of counties
The Japanese troops inside have completely retreated, but the tens of thousands of puppet troops are still a big hidden danger. If not handled well, these puppet troops are likely to wreak havoc on the economy and development of western Shanxi, and eventually become the Shanxi Province.
A cancer developing in the West.
"Commander, to deal with dozens of counties in western Shanxi, the strength of the three *** regiments on the plateau is not a little small. After all, there are still tens of thousands of puppet troops there. I always feel in my heart
It's a bit unreliable." After knowing the division commander Liu Hua's deployment, political commissar Luo Ronghuan asked with a worried face.
"Political Commissar, I am also worried about this issue. As for Lao Li, has his plan for Greater Guangxi been completed? I want to report this matter to the Central Committee now. At the same time, I request the Central Committee to send part of the Shaanxi Remaining Corps to attack from west to east.
In western Shanxi, our three *** regiments formed a pincer attack from east to west. In this case, with the support of the central government, we can eliminate these tens of thousands of puppet troops in one fell swoop and solve the problem in western Shanxi. There will be absolutely no problems.
"After listening to the political commissar's question, Zhang Huashen nodded in agreement and answered loudly.
He said Cao *** and Cao *** were here. Just when Division Commander Liu Hua mentioned Chief of Staff Li Qing, Chief of Staff Li Qing walked into the headquarters with a folder and red eyes. It was obvious.
, the chief of staff has stayed up for several consecutive nights for this plan in hand.
When he saw the division commander Liu Hua sitting in the headquarters with a frown on his face, the chief of staff was not only surprised but also shocked. Because he had been shutting himself in his room for the past two days, thinking about the Shanxi plan in hand.
The fact that the Japanese division had wiped out more than 20,000 Japanese troops was not clear at all.
"Commander, why are you in Taiyuan? Could it be that the Japanese reinforcements have been repulsed by our army?" Seeing Liu Hua, Chief of Staff Li Qing asked with confusion on his face.
"Haha, Chief of Staff, don't worry. The more than 20,000 little Japs have already been wiped out by the division commander, the direct column and the three *** regiments. No one slipped through the net, and a large amount of equipment was also seized. Now.
, the crisis faced by our independent division has all been resolved." Looking at the surprised chief of staff, political commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a smile.
"What? Annihilated more than 20,000 Japanese troops. When did this happen? Why didn't anyone inform me..." After hearing what the political commissar said, the chief of staff opened his mouth and asked in disbelief. However,
Regarding the chief of staff's shock, Liu Hua didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on the folder in the chief of staff's hand.
"Chief of Staff, I will tell you slowly about this later. Please tell me first whether you have completed the Shanxi Plan so that the political commissar and I can take a good look at it."
Chief of Staff and Division Commander Liu Hua quickly stopped the Chief of Staff who wanted to continue speaking. He pointed at the folder in the Chief of Staff's hand and asked eagerly.
"Fortunately, Commander, Political Commissar, I have fulfilled my duty. As per your request, I spent two full days formulating this plan. You take a look at it first. If there is anything wrong, we will discuss and revise it together.
"Seeing the division commander staring at the folder in his hand, the chief of staff's face immediately showed a hint of excitement. You must know that the plan in his hand was drawn up by himself stroke by stroke.
Just as the chief of staff finished speaking, division commander Liu Hua had already taken the folder from the hands of the chief of staff, and he and the political commissar began to read it carefully.
"Okay, it's very well written. If the whole of Shanxi can really develop according to the plan, then it will be a matter of time for our Eighth Route Army to liberate the whole of North China and drive the little devils out of the whole of North China." Look.
After finishing the plan in his hand, political commissar Luo Ronghuan couldn't help but applaud.
"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, in general, the plan is very good. However, I think the troops stationed in various places and the excited troops in our hands should make some changes. The first is Shanxi, because Shanxi is close to Shaanxi
, there is a left-behind corps of our Eighth Route Army. Therefore, the defense of western Shanxi can be completed by this left-behind corps. In addition, there are too few troops stationed in southern Shanxi. Although there are not many little Japs in the south, who can guarantee that we will
After occupying Yan Xishan's territory, Yan Xishan will not insert a force behind our back to cause friction. Therefore, southern Shanxi must increase its garrison to defend against Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army and Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army...
“In the end, the three people revised the entire plan for a full hour before it was successfully completed.
In this way, the entire plan, after the three of them signed their names, was handed over to the radio station and sent directly to Chairman Mao.
And Chairman Mao, after reading the entire contents of the telegram, was also shocked. Because he was frightened by the contents of the plan in his hand. Thinking of this plan, if it succeeds, it will have a great impact on the independent division and even the entire army.
The Eighth Route Army had a profound impact.
Thinking of the grand picture of the clothes in front of him after the plan was completed, Chairman Mao immediately called Vice Chairman Zhou and several big guys from the Military Commission to start talking about the plan reported by the *** division. Although this plan looked very
The adventure almost pushed the *** division to the opposite side of Yan Xishan's Shanxi-Sui army. However, faced with the huge temptation after the success of the plan, several big bosses thought about it again and again, and finally approved the *** division's share.
Greater Shanxi Plan.
"Division commander, the chairman called back. The plan has been approved. If we have any requests or help, the central government will do everything possible to satisfy us." While Liu Hua and others were anxiously waiting in the headquarters, Chief of Staff Li Qing took a
After receiving a telegram, he hurriedly rushed into the headquarters and said excitedly to the two people.
"Okay, great. With the support of the central government, this plan is more likely to succeed. Chief of Staff, call back to the central government immediately. I hope the central government can dispatch the Shaanxi left-behind army to attack western Shanxi from the west and eliminate Shanxi.
tens of thousands of puppet troops in the western area, and take over all occupied areas. At the same time, in order to support the local construction of Shanxi, request the central government to immediately send a large number of economic and administrative talents to support the construction of the entire Shanxi. Just like that, call back immediately
." Teacher Liu Hua said excitedly.
After receiving the telegram from the Independent Division, after discussion, the *** finally decided to make great efforts to help the *** division establish the base area in Shanxi. Without any hesitation, a large number of administrative managers headed by Li Kelong were immediately dispatched.
Management talents, along with the Shaanxi Left Behind Corps, rushed to Taiyuan to report to the *** Division.
At the same time, the Shaanxi Remaining Corps, under the order of the Military Commission, immediately dispatched a brigade with a total of 6,000 troops from Shaanxi to attack Shanxi. As for the three *** regiments in the second division, they were
After being attached to an artillery regiment, they attacked from east to west. Along the way, they were unstoppable and liberated one county after another that was still occupied by the puppet troops.
Finally, after almost a week of fighting, with the perfect cooperation of the two brigades, the two troops swept through all the county strongholds in western Shanxi in the shortest time. More than 30,000 people entrenched in western Shanxi
Except for the 2,456 puppet troops who were wiped out, the remaining 31,564 puppet troops were all captured by our army and escorted to Taiyuan to prepare for the replenishment of the newly expanded troops of the Independent Division.
As the whole of Shanxi was completely liberated by the Japanese division, tens of millions of people in Shanxi Province once again walked away from the rule of the Japanese. At the same time, 36,578 Japanese troops were completely wiped out by the independent division, and 46,753 puppet troops were eliminated or captured
After the war record was announced to the whole country by the Communist Party, the huge record once again caused an uproar across the country. All the warlords in the entire China were stunned after learning the news and could not believe it.
This thing is true. At the same time, I also have a slight fear of ***'s strength at this time.
Even Western countries, which have always had no confidence in China's resistance to the war of resistance, once again focused their attention on this ancient China. At the same time, the Eighth Route Army fighting the Japanese behind enemy lines and the troops stationed in Shaanxi
***, once again attracted the attention of various Western countries. Especially this single division behind the Japanese army, which continued to create miracles one after another, paid even more attention.
When Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Chongqing, heard the news, he was so angry that he smashed everything in his office into a mess. And immediately, he called several of his close friends and began to discuss the matter.
In the future, the National Government should take countermeasures.
