After signaling everyone to be quiet, Li Guoyao immediately said: "Brothers of the former Eighth Army, I can only express regret that your designation has been revoked, but there is nothing I can do about it. After all, this is an order from the Military Commission, and we can only choose to accept it, and We are powerless to change. But please rest assured, after you are incorporated into the 61st Army in the future, I, Li Guoyao, can guarantee that I will treat you equally."
Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, most of the officers present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Li Guoyao continued: "In addition, as far as I know, the Military Commission is holding people accountable for the previous defeat. Among them, senior officers of the Eighth Army are held accountable, including the commander Huang Jie and the chief and deputy commanders of each division. I can't help you much, but as long as you go south to reinforce Guide City this time, I, Li Guoyao, will personally send a report to the committee to explain the situation and intercede for you."
"Although I, Li Guoyao, don't have much face and dare not ensure that you are unharmed, I think there shouldn't be much problem in saving your lives. As for the future, it still depends on the arrangements made by the Military Commission."
Peng Linsheng immediately stood up and said: "Thank you sir, I, Lao Peng, would like to thank you on behalf of all my colleagues in the Eighth Army!"
"Commander Peng, you're welcome. The performance of your 187th Division in the Battle of Guide is obvious to all. I will report the situation of your division to the committee separately!"
"Thank you, Chief Li!"
Then Li Guoyao continued: "In addition, after research and decision by the Military Commission, our army will be upgraded from one division and one brigade to two divisions. The original new 100th Brigade will be upgraded to the new 100th Division, and the rated establishment will also be upgraded from one division to one. The number of 19,000 people has been increased to 25,000. Now each of your divisions should report on their respective situations, and then we will discuss how to reorganize them."
After finishing speaking, Li Guoyao turned his attention to Ma Desheng and motioned for him to speak first.
Ma Desheng did not show any pretense, and stood up directly and said: "Reporting to the military, our 7th Division currently has 2,400 soldiers, and there is a serious shortage. In addition, the organizational structure of each unit has basically been destroyed, and the loss of officers has also been extremely heavy."
Li Guoyao nodded and said: "We are indeed crippled in this battle, with incomplete organization and a shortage of major generals. However, as long as the airs are still there, we will be able to recover soon."
The next person to speak was Xu Hu. As the commander-in-chief of the newly established 100th Brigade, Xu Hu immediately stood up and said: "Military seat, the losses on the 100th Brigade were also extremely heavy. There are only less than a thousand people left in the entire brigade. However, each unit's organizational structure is complete, and as long as there are enough reinforcements, the unit will soon regain its combat effectiveness."
Then Li Guoyao turned to Peng Linsheng and asked: "Mr. Peng, how is the situation of your 187th Division?"
"Reporting to Commander Li, our 187th Division now has a total of 2,800 people. Although it is not many, the rest are all veterans. If they are gathered together, they can be formed into two regiments." Peng Linsheng replied.
"Well, where is the 24th Division?"
At this time, a major general officer stood up and said: "Report to Commander Li, our 24th Division still has 5,800 people. All units are fully organized, but the loss of soldiers is relatively serious."
"Okay, what's the situation with the 40th Division?"
"Reporting to Commander Li, the 40th Division currently has more than 4,200 soldiers, and all units are fully organized."
Li Guoyao nodded and said: "So the Eighth Army has a total of about 13,000 people, plus the 3,000 people of the 61st Army, our total strength is about 16,000, which can barely The shelf is put up.¡±
"According to the decision of the Military Commission, the temporary seventh division and the newly formed 100th division are both organized into two brigades and four regiments. After the meeting, all units will be disrupted and reorganized. First, the eight main regiments of the entire army will be put up. The missing soldiers will be replenished later, and this matter will be left to Deputy Commander Xu."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
"Secondly, the army has suffered a lot of casualties this time. We must not only treat all the injured brothers with all our strength, but also count the brothers who died in battle and provide pensions to their families. This matter will be left to Deputy Commander Wang!"
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" Wang Zhanhai said immediately.
"In addition, the troops have seized a lot of weapons and equipment, which also need to be registered. This matter is left to the logistics department to complete!" Li Guoyao continued.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
"The final matter regarding the reorganization of the troops will be left to Chief of Staff Ma, but before that I need a list of all officers above the regiment. I hope to see this list tomorrow morning!" Li Guoyao said.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
¡°Okay, that¡¯s it for today¡¯s meeting.The meeting is dismissed! "

When the Chinese side vigorously promoted the victory in East Henan, the Japanese army was in despair. After the news of the failure in the East Henan battle was transmitted back to Tokyo, the base camp was shocked and furious.
Subsequently, Emperor Hirohito and the headquarters sent four reprimanding telegrams in one day, two of which were sent to the headquarters of the Central China Front and the North China Front, and the other two were sent to Nishio Juzo's Second Army and Fujita Susumu's headquarters. of.
Since the Doihara Division that was annihilated in this battle belonged to the North China Front, General Terauchi Juichi was the first to bear the brunt. After being reprimanded by the base camp on June 4, only two days later, the base camp sent another report. He reprimanded the North China Front for its ineffective combat.
In addition to the reason why the 14th Division was annihilated this time, the base camp also accused the North China Front of not achieving the expected results in its operations in Shanxi, Hebei and other places. The base camp was very dissatisfied with this.
Regarding the accusations from the base camp, General Touichi Teuchi felt that he was wronged. Although he was the commander of the North China Front, it was hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
As of now, the North China Front has a total of 9 divisions and 5 brigades. However, in order to successfully fight the Battle of Xuzhou, Juichi Terauchi used the 5th, 10th, 14th, 16th, and 114th divisions as well as the independent mixed 4th Brigade. Wait for the troops.
Under this circumstance, there are only 4 divisions and 4 brigades in the five provinces of Suiyuan, Chahar, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong, and their military strength is extremely weak.
Moreover, these troops are relatively dispersed. For example, Bunzaburo Kawagishi's 20th Division is located in Quwo, guarding the area along the southern section of Tongpu Road from Taigu to Fenglingdu. The mountainous 109th Division is located in Taiyuan, guarding Tongpu Road. The areas north of Taigu and Taiyuan and the areas along the Zhengtai Railway in Shanxi Province.
Another example is the Xia Yuan Xiong Mi's 108th Division, located in Shijiazhuang, guarding the area along the eastern section of the Zhengtai Railway in Hebei Province, and taking over the defense of the 14th Division in the Huojia, Xiuwu, Jiaozuo, and Qinyang areas of Henan Province. There is only one second-class division in such a large area.
The 26th Division of Harem Chunzhi is located in Datong, guarding the northern Shanxi and Suiyuan areas. It defends hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land with only one third-class division with a three-unit system. If we fight this battle, let alone attack, we can barely defend. .
Due to the insufficient garrison strength in North China and the deployment of more troops in the area along Tongpu Road in the west, some less important areas had to be abandoned in order to achieve the purpose of key defense. For example, the 108th Division had previously Abandon the occupied Changzhi area of ??Shanxi Province.
But even so, the Japanese army still encountered crazy counterattacks from the Chinese army, especially behind enemy lines.
Since the Japanese army dispatched a large number of troops to Xuzhou to participate in the battle, there were no Japanese troops in many areas except for the main transportation lines.
At this time, the Red Party and the Eighth Route Army in various parts of North China mobilized and led the people to promptly restore and establish the anti-Japanese democratic regime; they formed various forms of popular anti-Japanese armed forces, carried out extensive guerrilla warfare, attacked enemy strongholds and destroyed their railways and highways. and water transportation and communication facilities.
Especially in the mountainous areas west of Yixian, Laishui, Laiyuan and Baoding in Hebei, the Japanese army was forced to abandon cities such as Laiyuan due to constant attacks by the Eighth Route Army and guerrilla forces.
Because the Red Party led the Eighth Route Army and the masses behind enemy lines, vigorously launched the anti-Japanese guerrilla war behind enemy lines in North China, continuously opened up and expanded anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, established anti-Japanese democratic regimes, and rapidly developed and strengthened the anti-Japanese forces, the Japanese army was overwhelmed and passive.
At the same time, the Yan Xishan Division of the National Army and the Central Military Guard Lihuang Division also launched a counterattack in southern Shanxi, regaining a large area of ????the country, which put great pressure on the Japanese army and made General Touichi Terauchi feel miserable during this period. Incessantly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
