Li Guoyao¡¯s troops made a profit in this battle, but the Eighth Route Army also made a lot of money!
Although the Eighth Route Army only accounted for 30% of all the spoils in this battle, you must know that they were not responsible for offensive operations. All troops were on the periphery to assist in the battle, or relied on militiamen to break up the attack, and their work was entirely manual work.
After more than ten days, the Eighth Route Army only suffered more than 200 casualties. This was not worth mentioning for a major battle involving tens of thousands of people.
So the 30% of the loot was not a loss at all to them, even what Yang Shufeng got was a bit hot to handle!
You must know that Li Guoyao not only gave them 30% of the loot, but also handed over 8 counties including Nangong to them.
With these county towns in hand, the strength of the Jinan Administrative Office has increased several times in an instant!
Originally, Yang Shufeng planned to suggest to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to give up all the spoils. They only wanted the eight county towns, but Li Guoyao refused.
??The rules of the Northeastern people are that those who hire people to help with the work will not be paid. As for those county towns, they can't hold them even if they don't give them to the Eighth Route Army.
After all, the Three Columns only have so few troops, and they are mainly new recruits. Once the Japanese army turns around and counterattacks, they will only have to run away, so giving it to the Eighth Route Army can only be regarded as waste!
As for the wages that should be paid, they must not be less than one penny. He, Mr. Li, will not take advantage of this!
When we talk about it, there are also underlying reasons. Li Guoyao knows who will dominate the world in the future, so it is still necessary to form a good relationship at this time.
If the timing hadn't been right, Li Guoyao would have really wanted to take his troops and join the Eighth Route Army directly, but he can only think about it now. If he really did this, Chongqing would probably fall out with Yan'an immediately.
And just when Li Guoyao and the Jinan Administrative Office were cooperating to sweep across Jinan, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters' operations for the second phase of the Hundred Regiments War also began.
After the Eighth Route Army won the victory in the first stage of a large-scale attack on traffic in the Japanese-occupied areas, Chongqing sent a special telegram to commend the Eighth Route Army commanders and fighters for their heroic operations on September 11. The message read: "Deputy Commander Zhu, Deputy General Peng Commander: I have heard from you through multiple telegrams that your department discovered the opportunity and cut off the transportation in North China, inflicting a heavy blow on the enemy. Special telegrams are commended. In addition to the telegrams instructing other theaters to attack in order to support your operations, we still hope to speed up the accumulation of waste operations. , don¡¯t let the enemy take a breather, and completely cut off his communication. Zhongzheng.¡±
At the same time, Yan'an also issued instructions for the next stage of the Eighth Route Army's actions: "According to the July 7th Declaration and the July 7th Decision, all the forces of our Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army should focus their main attention on attacking the Japanese army during the current period of strengthening unity. , following the example of the Hundred Regiment Campaign in North China, one or several planned large-scale offensive operations against the enemy should be organized in Shandong and Central China. In North China, the Hundred Regiment Campaign should be expanded to those Japanese troops that have not yet been attacked. Reduce enemy-occupied areas, expand base areas, open blockades, and improve combat effectiveness!"
On September 16, the Eighth Route Army headquarters issued an operational order for the second phase of the Hundred Regiments War, instructing that the purpose of the second phase of the operation was to expand the results; the basic policy of the operation was to continue to disrupt Japanese military transportation and destroy certain strongholds deep in the base area.
The tasks of each unit are:
The 120th Division used its main force to completely destroy the northern section of the Tongpu Railway from Ningwu to the Xuangang section in the southeast, and once again cut off the traffic in the northern section of the Tongpu Railway.
The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region used its main force to destroy the highway from Laiyuan to Lingqiu, and captured the two cities of Laiyuan and Lingqiu.
The 129th Division focused on attacking the road from Yushe to Liaoxian and captured the two cities of Yushe and Liaoxian.
In accordance with the instructions of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region began on September 22 with 8 regiments, 3 guerrilla detachments, and two independent battalions to attack the 4th Independent Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Laiyuan. The 11th Independent Infantry Regiment of the 26th Division stationed in Lingqiu began to attack.
Although the enemy in Laiyuan City resisted tenaciously and failed to capture it on that day, the Japanese 4th Squadron in East Tuanbao and more than ten strongholds in Sanjia Village in the east of the city were all destroyed by the 26th. The squadron finally wrote on the wall After reading the words "¥Æ¥½¥Î¥¦¥Ø¥¤¥«¥Ð¥½¥¶¥¤" (Long live His Majesty the Emperor), they were all wiped out.
After the fighting in the Laiyuan area began, the commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade was called Yuyi. He assembled about 3,000 troops from various strongholds near Zhangjiakou and arrived at Laiyuan on September 28.
The 2nd Battalion of the 12th Independent Infantry Regiment of Colonel Koshitaro Sakamoto of the enemy's 26th Division stationed in Datong also sent reinforcements to Lingqiu. Subsequently, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region ended its operations in the Laiyuan and Lingqiu areas.
The 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, the 1st Division of the 1st Column and the 385th Brigade, etc., on September 22, attacked the independent mixed 4th Brigade from Liao County to Xiyushe and Gongtang.?The 13th Independent Infantry Group along the line launched an attack.
After annihilating about 400 enemy defenders, Yushe County was recovered, and small strongholds such as Changjiahui, Wangjingcun, Pushang, and Guantou along the highway were destroyed.
The 4th independent brigade was formed, and the 11th and 12th independent infantry brigades were immediately dispatched for reinforcements.
Accordingly, the 129th Division stopped attacking Liao County and moved its troops to the Hongyatou and Guandinao areas to the west, preparing to ambush the enemy troops reinforced by Wuxiang. However, as the troops advanced, they encountered more than 600 Japanese troops. After about 15 hours of fierce fighting, most of them were wiped out and they withdrew from the battle.
In response to this battle, the 120th Division conducted an attack on Tongpu Road and once again cut off the communication line.
At the same time, troops from the Jizhong Military Region attacked Japanese troops in Renqiu, Hejian, Dacheng, Suning and other places from October 1 to 20, destroying more than 20 enemy strongholds and annihilating about 1,500 Japanese and puppet troops. , and destroyed about 150 kilometers of roads, effectively containing and attacking the enemy.
But the Eighth Route Army's offensive ended here. When the North China Front Army Headquarters learned about the entire Eighth Route Army's offensive situation, it immediately made tactical adjustments.
After Tada Shun communicated with Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio, the commander of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, he immediately decided to temporarily give up the recapture of southern Hebei and concentrate his forces to deal with the Eighth Route Army's attack. The reason was that Li Guoyao's troops were more difficult to deal with than the Tuba Road. .
Subsequently, the Japanese army began to shrink its troops on a large scale from the periphery of southern Hebei. At the same time, the North China Front Army Command ordered its troops to first hold on to and restore strongholds along the railways, and at the same time, coordinate with the railway engineering troops to repair railways and bridges, and organize troops to move towards Conduct raids on both sides of the railway and in the Eighth Route Army's base areas.
The North China Front consists of the 1st Army in Shanxi, the Mongolian Army in Zhangjiakou, the 110th Division in Shijiazhuang, the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade in Peiping, and the infantry commander of the 27th Division in Baoding, Major General Matsuyama Yuzo. Each of the 101st Brigade was temporarily mixed and dispatched from Laiyuan, Yixian, Xingtang, Lingshou, Wutai, Lingqiu and other places to besiege the Fuping area of ??the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
After 20 days of raids, about 500 of its troops were annihilated by the Eighth Route Army in the Fuping and Wangkuai areas, and ended on November 2. However, part of its independent mixed 15th Brigade was stationed in the Dongzhaitang area, about 60 kilometers west of Peiping.
The retaliatory raids carried out by the Japanese 1st Army in Shanxi were carried out in three phases due to insufficient overall strength, mainly encircling the 129th Division in southeastern Shanxi and the 120th Division in northwest Shanxi.
The first phase of the plan to sweep southeast Shanxi is:
The independent mixed 4th Brigade from Liao County and part of the 36th Division from Lucheng will advance from north to south to sweep away the 129th Division in Liaoxian, Shexian, Lucheng, Xiangyuan, and Wuxiang areas, and destroy their base areas.
At the same time, the first part of the 37th Division was formed along the Nanguan Town, Qinxian, and Guoting lines of the Baijin Railway to the south, and the first part of the 16th Brigade was independently formed from the Pingyao, Jiexiu, and Huo County areas in the southern section of Tongpu Road. To the east, the 41st Division headed east from Hongdong County with an infantry brigade. Three units encircled the 129th Division troops in the Guodao Town and Qinyuan areas on the upper reaches of the Qinhe River.
The Japanese counterattack began on October 11 to encircle the two planned areas.
During the counter-mopping up, the 129th Division set up an ambush in Gongjiagou, about 15 kilometers southwest of Heshun, on October 14, destroying more than 40 vehicles of the Japanese transport team.
On the 29th, they suddenly surrounded a Japanese brigade in the Guanjianao area east of Wuxiang County, and wiped out more than 400 enemies in total.
After several repeated raids by the Japanese army in the area, it ended on November 14.
The second phase of the Japanese army's raids mainly focused on the Guodao Town and Qinxian areas of Taiyue District. The Japanese army dispatched three troops with about 7,000 people. The operation began on November 19, but they were never able to encircle the main force of the 129th Division, and many It was attacked by a small scattered unit of the Eighth Route Army for the first time, causing more than 260 casualties.
Due to insufficient troops, the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi swept the Taihang area in October. After sweeping the Taiyue area in November, in mid-December, the 3rd and 9th brigades and the 26th Division stationed in Datong were independently combined. About 10,000 people swept through northwestern Shanxi and occupied all the counties in northwestern Shanxi except Hequ and Baode on the east bank of the Yellow River by December 23.
The 120th Division will break up part of its main force and launch guerrilla warfare with local troops and militia against the enemy. It will also concentrate a certain amount of force to attack the enemy's communication lines and ambush the enemy's transportation troops.
Until all Japanese troops withdrew from northwest Shanxi, the 120th Division fought more than 200 battles with the enemy and wiped out nearly 2,500 enemies.
