"Yes, this time, our *** division, after half a month of fighting, really returned with a full load... However, after half a month of fighting, I only rested for less than a few nights.
Time. It can be said that I am physically and mentally exhausted now. After returning to the base area, I must take a good rest for at least a week..." Chief of Staff Li Qing responded with a smile...
Entering Ezhou City, all the Eighth Route Army troops from various places in North China who were responsible for transporting supplies had arrived. Therefore, the various supplies stored in the city were becoming less and less under the transportation of various troops. Finally, just after Liu
When Hua and others stayed in Ezhou City for half a month.
Similarly, for a Japanese division that was reinforcing Tianjin City, because the Kwantung Army's large amounts of reinforcements were continuously transported to the Pingjin area, the problems faced by the little devils were easily solved. As a result, the little devils who had already freed up their hands had begun to
When he launched his first counterattack in half a month against Ezhou, which had accumulated a large amount of strategic supplies, Commander Liu Hua had already withdrawn from Ezhou with all the remaining supplies in the city under the protection of a large number of troops.
city.
Of course, in the face of Ezhou City, which has an important strategic position with one man at the gate and ten thousand men at the gate. Although Liu Hua knew that it would be a matter of time for the Japanese army to reoccupy it under the heavy attack of the Japanese army. But Liu Hua still left behind a
The strength of the main regiment requires the troops to take the initiative to retreat after inflicting a large number of casualties on the Japanese army in Ezhou City to protect the troops' retreat...
In the blink of an eye, the Battle of Pingjin was over, and Commander Liu Hua had returned to the base area for a month. A large number of strategic materials captured in the Pingjin area had all arrived at the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan City after such a long period of transportation and distribution.
With a large number of weapons and ammunition in various units, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in the entire North China region has been invisibly improved by at least several levels.
With the introduction of a large number of weapons, the number of heavy weapons equipped by the troops has increased. Coupled with the sufficient ammunition of the troops, the morale of the soldiers has been high. Commanders at all levels of the Eighth Route Army, under the instigation of the soldiers, cannot restrain themselves.
The desire to fight in my heart. What's more, at this moment, because the North China Garrison Headquarters was eliminated by the Japanese division, the suicide of the commander, General Tada Shun, spread throughout North China. The morale of the Japanese troops who stood at various transportation points
, have had a great impact.
Faced with such a good fighter opportunity, everyone did not miss this opportunity and once again launched a large-scale counterattack against the remaining Japanese and puppet army strongholds in the entire North China region... Since then, throughout the North China region, the Eighth Route Army's counterattacks in various places
Under this, the flames of war once again ignited. However, the *** divisions who returned to the base area did not join the counterattack. Instead, following the orders from the headquarters, they joined in the training and rest.
middle…
Of course, Liu Hua, as the commander of the entire military region, has no extra experience in managing the training of troops and recruits. At this moment, after half a month's rest, Commander Liu Hua has once again
I have returned to my previous spirit. Every morning, I come to the war room of the military region headquarters on time. Based on various intelligence received by the intelligence department, I face a huge combat sandbox in the war room and analyze the specific layout of the enemy and ourselves in the entire North China region.
, lay out the next action plan for your *** division...
"Commander, I have just received a message forwarded from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. During the half-month-long counterattack of the 115th Division, in the entire Shandong region, except for four important transportation points and Jinan City, the remaining vast areas
The area has been completely occupied by our army. It can be said that at this moment, the entire Shandong Province is already controlled by our Eighth Route Army. As for the several transportation arteries and Jinan City trapped by the Japanese army, they have been heavily surrounded by our army.
We may fall into a situation of running out of ammunition and food at any time..." Chief of Staff Li Qing came to the war room with a telegram and said...
Chief of Staff Li Qing handed the telegram in his hand to a combat staff officer next to him. Immediately, several combat staff officers started busy on a huge combat sandbox in North China based on the specific content of the telegram.
The *** sun flags planted in various counties in Shandong Province were pulled out by these combat staff officers and replaced with small red flags symbolizing our army...
"Commander, according to the content of the telegram, the situation between us and the enemy in the entire North China region has been completely arranged..." After ten minutes of busy work, a combat staff officer ran to several people. He said neatly to Commander Liu Hua
replied…
"Political Commissar, Lao Li. Let's go, let's go and take a look at the new deployment of the enemy and our armies in the entire North China region..." Liu Hua nodded and was the first to walk towards the huge combat sandbox in the war room.
past…
When he first looked at the combat sand table, Commander Liu Hua's first feeling was that the entire surface of the sand table was almost completely covered by small red flags. And in this sea of red, there were a few scattered dots.
The sun flag that symbolizes the little devil. And these sun flags are like a small boat in the red ocean, which may be in danger of capsizing at any time... Seeing the layout of the enemy and ourselves on the combat sand table in front of them, not only Commander Liu Hua, but also
Even the political commissar and chief of staff behind him had an invisible look of excitement on their faces...
"Commander, I really can't believe my eyes. The entire North China region has become the domain of our Eighth Route Army in just one month... I think back then, when our Eighth Route Army faced the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression operations, we would go from night to day.
Hiding from the police, we are deeply afraid that the little devils will wipe out all our limited family resources. But today, the little devils in North China are like lost dogs, beaten by us until they run away. All day long, they only dare to huddle in their own military camps.
We are waiting for the arrival of the rescue force..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghua could not suppress the excitement in his heart and said excitedly to the commander Liu Hua beside him.
"Well, I can't even imagine it. To be honest, in my mind, in order for the entire North China region to become what it is now, we still need at least three more years of development. However, the all-out war of resistance has just experienced three
In less than a year, the entire North China region has become the domain of our Eighth Route Army. What is even more gratifying is that due to the seizure of a large number of combat materials, the number of regular Eighth Route Army troops in the entire North China region has almost exceeded one million..." Liu
Hua nodded and said with deep understanding.
"Yes, Commander, Political Commissar. In a short period of time, as long as the little Japanese garrison in North China does not gather enough troops, they will not be able to launch a new attack in North China. And according to the current situation of the Japanese army on the entire Chinese battlefield
Judging from the deployment of troops, it is almost impossible to assemble hundreds of thousands of troops in the shortest possible time. Therefore, I believe that at least within half a year, the entire North China region will soon be controlled by our Eighth Route Army.
The world..." Chief of Staff Li Qingdao.
"Half a year is enough. With half a year, I believe that the entire North China region, under the governance of our *** people, will have great development in every aspect. And at that time, Xiao
What the Japanese are facing is not a scattered North China region, but a North China region run by our Eighth Route Army, like an iron barrel. Coupled with half a year of training, the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army's nearly one million troops will definitely
It will be improved by several levels. By then, even if the Japanese army gathers 100,000 troops, with the close cooperation of our Eighth Route Army from all over the country, they will not get any benefits..." Zhang Hua said with certainty, revealing the future of North China in one sentence.
, and looked confident...
"Commander, you mean that the entire North China region will be controlled by our Eighth Route Army from now on?" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuang asked with wide eyes and disbelief.
"Well, as long as there are no accidents, this possibility accounts for 80%... You can think about it. After the Eighth Route Army troops in various places have replenished a large amount of supplies and ammunition from our army for this exchange of fire, in terms of weapons and ammunition,
There will not be any shortage for at least more than a year. With weapons and ammunition, it is very possible for the combat effectiveness of the troops to be improved with the training of a large number of veterans. By then, one million elite Eighth Route Army troops will be
With the cooperation of a large number of artillery and the favorable terrain around North China, do you think the little devil can take advantage..." Liu Hua nodded and said affirmatively.
"However, political commissar and chief of staff, these matters so far are all matters that the central government needs to consider. And what we need to consider now is that as the entire North China region is cleared of Japanese troops in large numbers, in the next period of time
, there will no longer be any major wars in the entire North China. And our *** division has such good equipment, coupled with the strong combat effectiveness of the troops, Tianwo trains troops in the base area and does not fight against the little devils. Over time, the troops
The combat effectiveness of the troops will also be greatly affected. After all, if the troops are not exposed to war for a long time, the combat effectiveness will slowly degrade..." Commander Liu Hua continued...
"I feel the same about this matter. After a month of training, and after a large number of new recruits were replenished, the combat effectiveness of each unit has returned to its pre-war state. As for the large number of remaining recruits after the replenishment,
In addition to supplementing various logistics departments, we also formed three brigades of 6,000 new recruits based on the nearly 1,000 seriously injured people who have fully recovered from the field hospital. Although the organization and equipment of the troops have been fully replenished.
All of them have been assembled and have undergone certain training. However, as long as these three infantry brigades have not been on the battlefield and have truly seen blood, the entire unit cannot become a truly elite unit. Therefore, I completely agree with the commander.
We need to find ways to get these recruits on the battlefield..." Chief of Staff Li Qingdao is responsible for the training of nearly 20,000 recruits.
"Commander, do you mean to march into the three northeastern provinces?" Regarding Liu Hua's words, political commissar Luo Ronghuan immediately fell into deep thought. Just as Chief of Staff Li Qing finished speaking, Luo Ronghuan said...
"Haha, those who know me, the political commissar, is marching into the Northeast. Judging from the current situation, it is definitely impossible for our army to go south. After all, there is a Yangtze River blocking us. If we can't solve the little devil's navy and
Regarding the air force issue, a large-scale march of troops southward is tantamount to death. More importantly, our current development momentum has scared someone in Chongqing. At this moment, we must not push Chiang Kai-shek's bottom line, otherwise
, maybe this Chiang Kai-shek will do something that surprises us. Therefore, the only places where there are little devils that can allow us to fight are the three northeastern provinces..." Liu Huadao...
"Commander, I want to march into the Northeast according to your vision, there should be more than these two reasons!" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan looked in front of him, his eyes fixed on the commander of the Northeast on the map, and said with a smile...
"Well, there is indeed another important reason. The entire Northeastern region has been managed by the Japanese for almost ten years. To a certain extent, the three Northeastern provinces have become another area for the Japanese army outside of the country.
Logistics base. In the Northeast, there is not only the vast Northeast Plains, but also one of the top production areas in the country. More importantly, a large number of heavy industries have been developed in the Northeast. And these heavy industries are the result of our Eighth Route Army's occupation of North China so far.
The most lacking thing... Therefore, if our Eighth Route Army wants to develop and grow, it is necessary to march into the Northeast and occupy the entire Northeast heavy industry base..." Commander Zhang Hua sorted out the thoughts in his mind and said with certainty.
"Yes, although the entire North China region is basically occupied by our army. However, according to intelligence sent from various places, there is basically no heavy industry in the entire North China region. So far, our Eighth Route Army troops, in addition to food, military uniforms, and
In addition to a small amount of bullets, grenades, and small-caliber mortar shells, which can be self-sufficient, the remaining weapons and ammunition basically rely on seizures. If the army wants to develop in the long-term direction, it is absolutely impossible without heavy industry..." Political Commissar
Luo Ronghuan, with a look of sudden realization on his face, said to Commander Liu Hua with a smile on his face...
"However, the commander and political commissar's attack on the Northeast region will have a huge impact on the future development of our Eighth Route Army. More importantly, this is also the development plan that our *** division has long formulated, and
It has been recognized by the central government. However, after all, the entire Northeast region is occupied by the most elite Kwantung Army of the Japanese Army, with a total of one million Kwantung Army troops. If we are not fully prepared, it will be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth..." Staff Officer
Chief Li Qing had already put away the smile on his face, pointing at the huge three northeastern provinces on the sand table, frowning and analyzing.
"No matter how great the difficulties are, we will go forward. If there are no conditions, we can create conditions. In any case, our *** division cannot live up to the expectations of the Party Central Committee. Therefore, in the near future, one of the most important members of your staff
The topic is to formulate a combat plan to march into Northeast China. However, I can remind you that in the face of the bad situation in North China, the easiest way for Japan to change the current situation is to deploy Kwantung Army troops. And this, maybe
The best time for us to send troops..." Commander Liu Hua showed a rare resolute look on his face and ordered without any conditions.
"Yes, Commander, the staff will ensure that the mission is completed..." After hearing the order that no changes could be made, the chief of staff no longer hesitated and answered in the affirmative.
Looking at Chief of Staff Li Qing in front of him, and seeing that the day when the Pacific War broke out was getting closer and closer, Liu Hua's mouth slowly showed a smile. Because he believed that as long as he had a complete battle plan,
Coupled with the outbreak of the Pacific War, it was a favorable opportunity for the Japanese army to massively increase its troops in the Pacific. Liu Hua believed that with the nearly 100,000 elite troops at his disposal, he would be able to open up a new war of resistance in the Northeast.
However, Liu Hua did not speak out rashly about the Pacific War that he had not yet foreseen. He just gave Chief of Staff Li Qing an encouraging look, then left the war room with political commissar Luo Ronghuan, and continued to spread the news not far away.
There were bursts of shouts of killing as the recruits walked past the training ground...
Of course, what Liu Hua wanted to achieve was also seen in the central government as far away as Yan'an, which was the current bottleneck in the development of the Eighth Route Army. As counties and cities throughout North China were liberated one after another, the entire Eighth Route Army would in the next period of time
, there is basically no fighting.
And allowing nearly one million Eighth Route Army troops, especially the elite *** divisions, to be turned into decorations and trained every day in North China is obviously not the result that everyone wants to see. Therefore, the central government has already
As you know, the battle plan of the *** Division to march into the Northeast was once again revealed by everyone... Especially as the Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Zhu, seeing the Eighth Route Army getting better and better, shouted in front of the Chairman every day, demanding*
The ** division marches into the Northeast….
Regarding the issue of the *** division's march into Northeast China, several members of the Standing Committee of the Central *** Bureau had already held a meeting and made a unified opinion. Therefore, the chairman agreed with a smile on every proposal made by the commander-in-chief.
.However, what puzzles the Commander-in-Chief is that although the Chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou agree to his proposal every day, half a month has passed and there is still not a single *** Bureau meeting to discuss *
The **Division’s campaign plan to march into the Northeast….
Slowly, the commander-in-chief began to become anxious. Today, the boss, who had not received any news, could no longer bear it. He hurried to the chairman's office and asked the chairman to give him a reasonable explanation: "Chairman,
Judging from the current new situation in North China, it is only a matter of time before we occupy the entire North China region. And Shanxi Province, where the *** Division is located, will definitely be the rear area of our Eighth Route Army in the future, and there will be no major war at all.
Faced with such a powerful strategic force, should we just watch them train in Shanxi every day and leave the Northeast region alone to fight a large number of little devils?"
