Chapter 771: It turns out that the guerrilla division is a security group
The commander of the Second War Zone said: "The guerrilla divisions and militia divisions in Gannan are all local security forces belonging to the second and third lines."
The Minister of Military Affairs was not satisfied with the old commander's opening remarks.
Didn’t you see that the commander of the Ninth War Zone next to him sprayed out the wine in his mouth?
The commander of the Ninth War Zone: "Old commander, please give up, they are still the second or third line security corps?
Have any of you ever seen a security corps that is so capable of fighting the Japanese?
Have any of you ever seen a group of soldiers annihilate the Japanese one division at a time?"
The commander of the Second World War Zone was old but still strong, and there was no sign of embarrassment on his face at all.
"Don't disbelieve me. Why don't you ask the Minister of Military Affairs about the position of the guerrilla division and the militia division in the Ministry of Defense."
Minister of Military Affairs: "Well, the old commander is telling the truth, they are indeed a local security corps.
Thinking back to those days, Commander Song was truly upright and righteous.
Recalling the August 13th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, the Battle of the Capital, and the Battle of Wuhan, Commander Song applied to join the war three times in a row.
But considering that his Gannan troops were weak...he was not allowed to join the war.
Who knew that his guerrilla divisions would fight better and better, and more fiercely.
From Daerzhuang in Shandong, to Jiaozuo in Henan, and finally settled in the second war zone of the old commander.
They captured eighteen Japanese regimental flags and killed more than twenty Japanese officers of the rank of major general and above in battle.
Later, word came out from the attendant's room that if Commander Song had been allowed to pull out all the troops, it would have been great.
If that had been the case, Shanghai might not have been lost, and the battle to defend the capital might not have resulted in so many casualties.”
The commander of the Second War Zone sneered and said, “Humph, you still want Commander Xiao Song to send out his entire army to attack.
Then his hometown in Gannan will surely be eaten up by all of you guys!"
Minister of Military Affairs: "When the time comes, can your old commander resist not taking a share?"
The commander of the Second War Zone said: "Humph, I have now turned from darkness to light, why don't you come over too."
"Hahahaha", the people sitting around burst into laughter together.
The old commander said: "Commander Song is very capable, I think they are doing well in Shanxi.
They have food and guns, and they are willing to give welfare to their subordinates.
The key is that they really went to fight the Japanese, and they were always able to win the battles and kill the Japanese.
Therefore, the number of their guerrilla division troops has been increasing.
It was only last year that I heard from Suo Wuxing that one of their guerrilla divisions had sufficient manpower.
At that time, the number of their regular troops had exceeded 40,000.
This was also one of the reasons why they divided their troops in 1939 and went to Sui-Cha, Ji-Zhong and Shandong.
Just think about it, Shanxi is such a poor country, but they were able to recruit so many soldiers.
Hebei is a prosperous and densely populated area. It is not too much for him to recruit 70,000 to 80,000 people for one division, right?"
The Minister of Military Affairs' hand trembled and the wine in his hand spilled out without him noticing.
"Seventy to eighty thousand regular army troops? That doesn't even include the local guards, right?
Oh, yes, it’s their security team and village liaison team.
I have something I don't understand, and I would like to ask you, old boss. Why are you willing to tell me the truth today?"
Old commander: "The situation of anti-Japanese war is very good now, and we don't want to see the attendant office interfere.
Commander Xiao Song was not afraid to fight, he just didn't want to see such a good situation go to waste.
Besides, how capable is the current government? If they can't even deal with the Japanese, how can they deal with Song Wen?"
These words left the Minister of Military and Political Affairs speechless.
Song Wenwan's congratulatory speech on the stage has finally come to an end, and the reactions from different parties are different.
What the common people were listening to was just a commotion; they just heard some good news on the radio.
China’s current military base is based in the Ji-Zhong Plain.
A large-scale mopping-up operation against the Japanese was launched west of Sui-Cha, north of Shandong, and east of Taiyang.
My God, I wonder since when the Chinese can also wipe out the Japanese?
Inside the thick door of the attendant's room in the temporary capital, a whole set of glass cups were smashed.
A cold voice came over: "Send a telegram to Bai Ling and the Minister of Military Affairs, asking them to come back quickly.
Don't stay in Longshui City any longer. You are bringing shame to the Party and the country.
Just tell them that the war situation on the front line has changed and ask them to return to the capital as soon as possible."
The Red Northern Shaanxi was indeed in a festive mood, with the leaders watching the combat staff busy at work.
They kept replacing the blue flag representing the Japanese invaders with the red flag representing the Eighth Route Army.
Every time the flag is changed, it means that this place has become the territory of the Eighth Route Army.
One of the leaders asked, "Haha, ok, ok, think about the last time you saw this scene, when was it?
It was during the great raid led by the deputy commander-in-chief."
Another chief said: “It was that time when we also changed the flags in large areas just like today.
Leader, last time we pulled our troops back to fool the Japanese, we won’t do that again this time, will we? "
Leader: "No, now that the territory has returned to the hands of the people, I will not give it up again."
As for this great victory against the mopping-up operation, Yoshio Shinozuka had no choice but to stay in Taiyuan and survive.
The Shanxi-Suiyuan New Army in the Second War Zone also said that territory issues did not matter.
As long as their caravans can enter, it doesn’t matter whether it’s territory or not.
At this time, Okamura in Peking was so angry that he was about to vomit blood after listening to the live broadcast on the radio.
This Song Wenwan is such a jerk. He actually told the whole world about his powerlessness through the radio station.
This audience included his opponents and all his superiors and subordinates.
Not only did he announce his arrangements through the radio, he also made them public.
He also explained the response methods of the various units of the guerrilla division.
Overt conspiracy, this is definitely Song Wenwan’s top-notch overt conspiracy!
He was telling himself and others that no matter how he acted, he was under Song Wenwan's control.
Soon, bad news came from the North China Front Army Headquarters that Commander Okamura vomited blood again.
This time he not only vomited blood, but also fainted for an hour.
An hour later, the unconscious Commander Okamura woke up.
Then he saw the intelligence officer, who looked both excited and uneasy.
Okamura: "Tell me, do you have a bad news and a good news you want to tell me?"
Seeing that the intelligence officer actually nodded, Okamura ignored his dizziness.
I was still quite interested (pretending to be calm) and asked the intelligence officer to explain the situation.
Intelligence Staff: "Commander, I have a piece of bad news and a piece of good news to share with you.
According to the news sent back from Tang County, our army has begun to move forward after receiving the order.
To avoid the siege of our mopping-up forces by the guerrilla division sent by Gannan."
In fact, the Japs were still careful this time. They still had 50,000 Japanese troops and 50,000 puppet troops in the Tang County area.
If this had happened under normal circumstances, and they had encountered a Kuomintang army of similar size, they might have been able to win.
But this time they were really scared, because they followed Song Wenwan's interpretation of the battle.
Not to mention the situation on the battlefield in Shanxi, even in the Tang County area, there were about 300,000 Chinese armed forces who launched a counter-encirclement against them.
