I really came here to fight against Japan

They came to the place where the old Japanese division commander had just committed suicide. The scene looked extremely tragic.

The old Japanese soldier had been blown to pieces by a shell, but the sword he had used to commit seppuku was still lying there a few meters away from him.

Maybe the knife didn't want to stay in the devil's body, so it was blown away by the shock wave of the explosion.

Commander Fan sighed at the side, "Alas! This battle was fought.

Qin Haichuan's artillery shells were too powerful, almost destroying all of the Japanese equipment.

We only seized a lot of bayonets, which can still be used, so it's better than nothing!

They continued to pick up the bodies of the Japanese devils, and only started to march towards Shanxi in the afternoon.

Not long after they went, they met a cavalry brigade that was sent to support them.

The captain of the cavalry brigade was overjoyed when he saw that Commander Song and his men were safe and sound.

He immediately sent someone back to inform the troops behind not to come.

Commander Song will arrive in Jiaozuo tonight, so let them all go to Jiaozuo to welcome him.

At eight o'clock that evening, Song Wenwan's 40,000 troops finally arrived at Jiaozuo County.

Since everyone had not had a good rest these days, we finished dinner early and arranged for everyone to rest.

At eight o'clock the next morning, senior generals from the Gansu and Sichuan armies arrived.

They gathered together in the hall of the former Jiaozuo County Government and held a military meeting to discuss the next battle plan!

Song Wenwan, as the second-level lieutenant general of the National Government and commander-in-chief of the 46th Army Group in Gannan, presided over the meeting.

Song Wenwan looked at the generals in the room and her face was filled with joy.

Song Wenwan said: "Everyone..."

With a "boom", all the generals sitting here stood up at attention and saluted him.

"Alright, alright, everyone sit down! We are all family, we are not in the Ministry of National Defense, we don't want to play that game!

And General Deng, you are my elder after all.

How could I let you salute me? Don't do that again next time."

Everyone saw that he said no, but the smug smile on his lips slightly betrayed his true thoughts.

Everyone sat down laughing, and the atmosphere of the meeting finally eased.

It's not like the meeting at the Ministry of National Defense in Wuhan, where everyone is either gloomy or so gloomy that it makes everyone feel frustrated.

Deng Beihou and other Sichuan Army soldiers all like the current atmosphere.

This is probably the feeling after winning a battle!

Song Wenwan continued, "First, in this battle, our 46th Army, in cooperation with the brother units of the Sichuan Army, achieved an unprecedented victory.

We divided our troops into three routes and fought for more than twenty days, covering a total of thousands of miles in Shandong, Hebei, Henan and Shanxi, and finally met in victory today.

Second, the Gansu and Sichuan troops worked together and fought three battles.

It was the Heisongkou annihilation battle, the Salt-alkali Beach annihilation battle, and the final Red Stone Mountain annihilation battle.

This time, the Japanese 14th Division, with a total of more than 11,000 people, was surrounded and annihilated.

The Japanese invaders' 26th Division, totaling more than 22,000 people, was encircled and annihilated.

The 27th Division of the Japanese invaders, which also had more than 22,000 people, was surrounded and annihilated.

Among them were three division commanders of the Japanese invaders, Kenji, Kimura, etc.

All the brigade commanders of their three divisions were killed in this battle, and no one survived.

Third, in this battle, all units of our army fought bravely regardless of casualties and achieved brilliant results.

In the Battle of Heisongkou, a total of seven regimental flags of the 14th Division were captured.

Two of the Japanese flags were captured by the 254th Division of the Sichuan Army under the command of Division Commander Fan.

Seeing Fan Haer standing up and saluting triumphantly, Deng Beihou and the others were so angry that their teeth were itching.

But they had no choice, because Fan Haer was lucky and had always been following Song Wenwan's footsteps.

Song Wenwan continued: "In the battle at Hongshi Pass, General Deng Beihou personally led the 265th and 266th Divisions of the Sichuan Army, as well as the Wu Longcheng Regiment of the Gansu Army.

He planned and fought bravely, and successively captured four Japanese regiment flags. "

Deng Beihou and several other Sichuan Army generals, as well as Captain Wu, all stood up to thank Song Wenwan.

He gave all the credit to the Sichuan Army soldiers.

The main reason is that the Japanese regiment flag is too difficult to capture.

The minimum requirement to capture a Japanese regiment flag is...

You must first wipe out a Japanese regiment before you have a chance to get the flag before the Japanese destroy it.

At this moment, Deng Beihou was so excited that he burst into tears. He didn't expect that he could still get such a great achievement at his old age.

However, Deng Beihou was really nice and thanked Commander Song for his "cultivation".

On the one hand, he highly praised Captain Wu Longcheng for his indelible contribution in this battle.

Song Wenwan comforted the generals of the Sichuan Army and continued: "The first and second guerrilla detachments of Shanxi are rushing between the two provinces.

It can be said that they used a lot of clever strategies to capture Jiaozuo County and four of the Japanese flags. "

"Xiao Wu, hearing General Deng praise you so much, it seems that you have not embarrassed your sister.

It just so happens that I am going to set up a guerrilla zone in Jiaozuo, so I will give you the number of the 46th Army Group and the 5th Guerrilla Detachment.

You will be the commander of the detachment, and I will leave your regiment to you. How it develops in the future will depend on your luck."

Song Wenwan really has nothing to say about Qin Haichuan's brother-in-law.

He heard a report yesterday and learned that the Eighth Route Army Headquarters would send people to develop the Jiaozuo base.

As long as Wu Longcheng cooperates well with them, it will be of great benefit to Wu Longcheng's development after the liberation of the whole country.

After summarizing all of this, record the content of today's meeting.

They were sent to the Ministry of National Defense in Wuhan and the headquarters in Yan'an, Shaanxi.

They also called the Ministry of National Defense in Wuhan to emphasize that they had retreated into Shanxi today. According to the order of the Ministry of National Defense, they were incorporated into the battle sequence under the command of the commander of the Second War Zone.

What I mean is, you asked me to come to Shanxi.

Even though I have won the battle now, if you still want me to make another detour of a thousand miles.

There is no way he could lead the troops back to participate in the Battle of Wuhan.

Just think about the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone now, he has wrinkles on his face from smiling!

He suddenly had three Sichuan Army divisions and four Gannan guerrilla detachments (divisions).

This is not just some ragtag force; they are the ones that dare to fight mobile warfare against the Japanese.

They fought head-on and wiped out the Japanese, two and a half divisions, a group of ruthless guys with a total of more than 50,000 people.

You, the Wuhan Ministry of National Defense, still want to transfer people from me? What are you thinking?

Besides, I helped you in Henan and wiped out more than 60,000 Japanese invaders in one fell swoop.

These Japanese divisions are all preparing to participate in the Battle of Wuhan.

This also dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders and greatly eliminated their manpower.

He has finished the work he was supposed to do ahead of time. I believe that those guys in the Wuhan Ministry of Defense cannot find any fault with him!

Song Wenwan had already thought about it by this time. The first thing he would do after entering Shanxi was to replenish ammunition for the Eighth Route Army.

During the months when he left Shanxi for Daerzhuang, the Eighth Route Army fought several major battles in Shanxi and Hebei.

The Eighth Route Army is now in severe shortage of weapons and ammunition.

This time, Song Wenwan plans to drop off more equipment to replenish the Eighth Route Army.
