"Commander, don't worry. Commander Wang has created a miracle for us. I believe that Commander Gao can also create a miracle for us. This time, the little devil's 109th Division must be the same as their 14th Division."
The regiment met the same fate..." With the victory of annihilating the 14th Division, the political commissar Luo Ronghuan at this moment was full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of his troops.
Sure enough, on the third day after receiving the good news from the third division, the good news from the second division came one after another. Because of the good news two days ago, after learning the news of the complete annihilation of the Japanese 109th Division, Commander Liu Hua
and political commissar Luo Ronghuan, did not show any particular excitement. However, after reading the specific contents of the telegram, there were still two important pieces of news that shocked and excited them.
"Commander, I can't believe that the guard brigade actually captured the commander of the Little Devils Division... Oh my god, one lieutenant general, two major generals, four colonels... All the senior commanders of the Little Devils 109th Division were captured.
We are captured. If the Japanese Emperor knew this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood." After reading the contents of the telegram, the political commissar exclaimed in disbelief.
The reason for the exclamation is very simple, because the Japanese army has been influenced by the Bushido spirit for a long time since joining the army. They would rather die than surrender on the battlefield. Even if they capture an ordinary soldier, it is even more difficult... As for capturing the Japanese major
The above-mentioned officers have almost never appeared since the Anti-Japanese War, let alone captured a general. But now, his own army captured three generals and four colonels at once... Luo Ronghuan believes that if this amazing
Once the news is reported, our own division will once again become the focus of attention of the Chinese people. Of course, it will also become a key target of the Japanese army...
"Political Commissar, there is another piece of news that shocked me very much, and that is the combat effectiveness of our guard brigade. When we fought with the same number of little Japs with bayonets, not only did we not fail, but we lost less than 2,000 casualties in exchange for 4,000 Japanese troops.
The death of the little devil. This is enough to show that the combat effectiveness of our guard brigade, under certain conditions, can be compared with the same number of little devils..." Commander Liu Hua said what made him excited...
"Commander, political commissar, now the two main divisions of the Japanese army that have invaded our base area have been completely wiped out. Look, do you want to immediately report the victory to the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the ***, so that the people all over the country know that our *** division has again
A great victory achieved at once..." When the two of them looked excited, Chief of Staff Li Qing reminded him appropriately...
After hearing the chief of staff's reminder, Liu Hua immediately raised his head, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes: "Yes, the chief of staff is right, report the victory to the headquarters and the *** immediately, so that the chairman and others will be happy too.
By the way, don’t forget to send a telegram to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing. Although we have different opinions and do not collude with him, in terms of propaganda, the Communist Party is better than our Communist Party after all. We can use it
The various newspapers in Chiang Kai-shek's hands further expanded the influence of our Eighth Route Army in the hearts of the people. Let the warlords and armed forces around the base know that our *** divisions are not easy to mess with. As long as they dare to come, we will drive them to pieces.
Eat whatever is left..."
"Old Li, I agree with the commander. Send a victory telegram to Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing to report the results of our *** division. At the same time, let Chiang Kai-shek understand the true combat effectiveness of our *** division. Let him
When he has any thoughts about us in the future, he must worry about our combat effectiveness and see if he has the ability to challenge us again." Political commissar Luo Ronghuan, who has been engaged in political work for many years, immediately understood the meaning of Commander Liu Hua's words.
, agreed firmly.
"Yes, commander, political commissar, I will send the report right away..." the chief of staff replied loudly.
Less than an hour after the chief of staff left, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese troops in Yan'an simultaneously received a telegram of victory from the Japanese division... Facing the Japanese division, they once again achieved the total annihilation of the two main forces of the Japanese army.
The division successfully achieved great results in the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. While shocked, the head of the headquarters immediately reported the results of the *** division to the entire army, and immediately sent a commendation to the *** division.
telegraph…
However, the Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, and Vice Chairman Zhou who were far away in Yan'an. After reading the telegram, they were shocked and immediately came to the cave where the Military Commission's war room was located. The three people closed the door tightly and started
In the war room, they were secretly discussing the results and impact of the battle achieved by the *** division...
"Chairman, I really didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese division would be so strong now. In less than a few days, two divisions of the Japanese army were completely wiped out... The two main divisions were almost completely equipped with equipment.
Fifty thousand sophisticated little devils. This is simply unbelievable. If it weren’t for the signatures of Zhang Hua and Luo Ronghuan and the results of the capture of the Japanese division commander, I would have doubted the authenticity of this telegram..." the commander-in-chief said first.
.
"Yes, Chairman, I think back then, in the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Wuhan, the Communist Party assembled hundreds of thousands of elite Communist troops, but they were not able to wipe out so many troops. And one of our ***
division, it took less than a few days to completely annihilate two divisions and capture a large number of senior Japanese officers. More importantly, they also severely damaged the two aviation groups that the Japanese army came to reinforce, shooting down a total of small
There are a total of 34 Japanese planes, which is a good blow to the arrogance of the little Japanese planes..." Vice Chairman Zhou followed closely behind the commander-in-chief and said with the same shock on his face.
"Enlai, boss, don't just ask me. I want to ask Liu Hua in front of a few of us, and ask carefully about the combat effectiveness of the current *** division and the entire combat process... Since the reorganization of the army
"We haven't met this Liu Hua for several years, but he has always been our lucky general, and this has not changed..." the chairman said.
"Chairman, this is simple... I will send a telegram to Liu Hua right away, asking him to report the current establishment of military divisions to the central government in the shortest possible time for our reference." The Chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou have not yet waited.
After the two people reacted, the commander-in-chief hurriedly opened the door of the war room and ran out with an eager look on his face...
"This boss is already the commander-in-chief, and yet he is in such a hurry..." Looking at the boss who rushed out of the war room quickly, the chairman couldn't help but smile and said...
"Chairman, this is because the boss is happy...Our Eighth Route Army has produced such an elite unit that can fight. If it were me, I would be so happy...Chairman, although we don't know the specific establishment of the *** division, but...
If nothing else happens, the number of the *** division should be around 100,000. Do you have any ideas about the future of the *** division..." Looking at the departing commander-in-chief, Vice Chairman Zhou also smiled.
Then, facing the chairman in front of him, he raised a question related to the future of the *** division...
"Enlai, let me think about it..." As he spoke, the chairman took a deep puff of the cigarette that came with the last time the *** division guard regiment turned in the trophies. After thinking quietly for half a minute, he said: "
If the *** division really has 100,000 elite divisions, coupled with their combat effectiveness, it is obviously very inappropriate to continue to be placed in Shanxi Province where there are not many little devils. And in several other places in North China
Province, all units of our army have basically established a firm foothold, and the units are constantly developing and growing. Even if the *** division is gone, it will not have much effect."
"Chairman, according to your opinion, there are currently only two directions for the Japanese troops to go..." After speaking, Vice Chairman Zhou pointed his hands to the southern region and the three northeastern provinces that had been occupied by the Japanese army for more than ten years...
Looking at the two places pointed by Vice Chairman Zhou, the Chairman nodded thoughtfully, and then quickly shook his head: "En Lai, the south is definitely not possible. That is Chiang Kai-shek's territory. If we go there, maybe
He will really turn against Chiang Kai-shek. Judging from the current situation, this is very detrimental to the entire war of resistance. The only place to go now is the Northeast..."
And just as the two people were discussing the future whereabouts of the *** division in the quiet war room, a rush of footsteps came in from outside the door. Then, the commander-in-chief was seen holding a gun with a smile on his face.
I received a telegram and walked in...
"Chairman, Enlai, guess how many troops Liu Hua has in his hands now." Seeing the two people staring at him, the commander-in-chief walked into the war room without any courtesy and sat directly on the stool.
, asked with a smile on his face.
"Boss, please stop being so pretentious. Enlai and I are both waiting for your answer?" the chairman said.
"Now that the chairman has spoken, you should listen carefully. I will now inform you about the current establishment of the *** Division: According to the report of Liu Hua, commander of the *** Division, the *** Division now has three corps under its jurisdiction.
Division, each military division has three main regiments, three new regiments, three *** regiments, one engineering regiment, one guard regiment, one special agent regiment, one artillery regiment, one directly affiliated cavalry regiment and other directly affiliated regiments.
The total strength of the troops is about 30,000. The three military divisions alone add up to a total of 90,000 troops..." But before the commander-in-chief could finish speaking, Vice Chairman Zhou couldn't help but interrupt.
"My God, there are so many troops... He Liu Hua is really good. This is the time to commemorate. I really don't know where he got so much equipment. A military division actually formed an artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment.
…”
"Enlai, Chairman, don't be surprised. What else?" Looking at the expressions of the two people, the commander-in-chief smiled. Because he had the same expression just now when he got the telegram. "*** Division
In addition to the three military divisions, there are also several directly affiliated troops, including a 15,000-person directly affiliated column, a 6,000-person guard brigade, a 4,000-person armored brigade, a 4,000-person air defense brigade, and a 4,000-person armored brigade.
A heavy artillery brigade of 3,000 people, a cavalry brigade of 3,000 people, an engineering brigade of 2,000 people, an arsenal of 1,000 people, and a special operations brigade of 1,000 people. A total of more than 40,000 people. In addition, at their headquarters,
There is also a recruit training camp with more than 20,000 people, which is responsible for providing recruits to the main force..." While the two people in front of him were stunned, the commander-in-chief slowly put down the telegram in his hand...
"Oh my god, a total of 150,000 main troops. Boss, slap me and see if I'm dreaming. Our Eighth Route Army actually has such an elite division, a total of 150,000 troops..." Zhou
The vice chairman said with a shocked face.
"Enlai, don't get too excited first. I'm going to inform you about the current heavy equipment of the *** Division. According to the reports of Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, the *** Division now has a total of 36 tanks and armored vehicles of various types, each of which
There are more than 300 trucks. As for artillery, there are even more: there are about 80 heavy artillery pieces above 105 mm. There are countless 75 mm field guns and mountain guns, there are hundreds. As for
Other mortars and infantry guns can basically be equipped to regiment and battalion level troops... In addition, there are 48 various anti-aircraft guns and nearly 200 anti-aircraft machine guns..." the commander-in-chief continued.
"I really didn't expect that the current *** division not only has an army of 150,000 people, but more importantly, they are well-equipped and have sufficient ammunition. Boss, what do you think of the current *** division? An army of 150,000 people, no wonder this Liu
Hua had the guts to fight head-on with the two Japanese field divisions, and also won the battle." After half a minute of silence in the entire war room, the chairman slowly recovered from the shock and faced a calm expression in front of him.
the Commander-in-Chief asked…
"Chairman, to be honest, before I saw this telegram, I always put the *** division on an equal footing with our other three main divisions. However, now I have changed my view. Now
The *** Division is the most powerful unit of our Eighth Route Army in terms of strength, equipment and combat effectiveness. It can be said that it is the main force among the main forces of our Eighth Route Army. With the existence of the *** Division, we*
The Communists have greater rights to speak at home. So I think we can now regard the *** Division as our Eighth Route Army, a strategic force directly under the jurisdiction of the Communist Party." The commander-in-chief once again
After reading the numbers on the telegram, I definitely expressed my thoughts...
"The strategic force directly under the jurisdiction of the ***...Okay, Enlai, I think the boss's proposal is very good...Now in North China, the other three main divisions of our Eighth Route Army are enough to hold the battle. Let's upgrade the *** division to **
The strategic forces directly under the *** will allow the 150,000-strong army to play a greater role in the course of the War of Resistance. At the same time, we can also allow the *** division to open up a new base for us..." Chairman
He nodded affirmatively and said...
"Chairman, what you mean is that the entire North China region, including the Shanxi Military Region, will be handed over to the other three main divisions. And then the *** division will be transferred out as a strategic force directly under the central government... But, Chairman, this scale has always been
No matter where the troops are placed, they will cause a big splash... Where does the chairman want the army to continue to develop..." Vice Chairman Zhou also nodded in deep agreement and continued to ask.
"Boss, among the three of us, you are the commander-in-chief of our Eighth Route Army and have the most say in this regard. Please tell us what you think..." the chairman asked, looking at the commander-in-chief in front of him, who was looking at the map and was deep in thought.
"I don't know if you still remember that a year ago, Liu Hua, the commander of the *** Division, gave us a report on the development direction of the *** Division. In it, Liu Hua clearly proposed that our army should stabilize North China
After entering the area, you can go directly north and march into the Northeast... The three northeastern provinces have been colonized by the Japs for more than ten years. Only the Anti-Japanese Alliance led by our party is still fighting an arduous struggle. More importantly, there is no Communist Party there.
As long as we can lay down a base area in the Northeast, we can build it into a place that completely belongs to our ***. By then, after the Anti-Japanese War is over, our *** will be able to obtain a very stable logistics base...
"The commander-in-chief pointed to the three northeastern provinces on the map and said affirmatively.
"Well said, everyone who understands knows that after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, we and the Communist Party will have a battle sooner or later, so we must prepare in advance now. The boss means what I mean, and we will choose the Northeast... I believe
, as long as we put the 150,000 troops of the *** Division in any corner of the Northeast, we will be able to deal with the Japs and open up the situation in the Northeast. By then, the *** Division plus the tens of thousands of the Anti-League troops will
The troops are enough to open up a new anti-Japanese situation in the Northeast..." The chairman's clenched fist slammed on the table in front of him and said with a face.
"Chairman, boss, I absolutely support your opinions unconditionally. I agree to let the *** division march into the Northeast, join the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the Northeast, create a new situation in the war of resistance, and strive to create a new world in the Northeast...
"After listening to the two people's opinions, Vice Chairman Zhou also said with certainty.
Finally, after secret deliberations among the three heads of the Communist Party of China, a telegram was drafted on the future development direction of the *** Division. At the same time, the organization of the *** Division was directly assigned to the *** as a strategy directly under the Central Military Commission.
The content of the troops also appeared in the telegram. Of course, the specific time for the *** division to enter the Northeast depends on the specific situation. The telegram did not clearly stipulate it, but only gave the ***
The future development direction of the teacher.
After the three people signed the telegram one by one, the telegram was handed over to Vice Chairman Zhou, who went to the secret telegram office in person to send the telegram in the form of an encrypted telegram to the commander of the *** Division Liu Hua.
Li... Until this moment, the future development direction of the *** division has been determined. At the same time, as the division commander, Liu Hua's status in the central government has also been improved, no more than any of the other three main division commanders.
