On January 1, 1941, the Eighth Route Army headquarters announced the results of the Hundred Regiment War, which instantly caused a nationwide sensation!
According to reports from the Eighth Route Army, the focus of the campaign was on the railway from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan, enemy strongholds, Jingxing and Yangquan coal mines along the railway, the Baigui-Changzhi railway and the northern section of Pinghan Road. At this time, the defense was at Along these railways were the Japanese independent mixed 8th, 4th, 9th, 3rd, and 16th brigades, the 36th Division, the 110th Division, and the independent mixed 1st and 15th brigades.
According to statistics from the Eighth Route Army battle reports, the Japanese troops participating in the battle included all of the 110th Division and the 25th Division, 2 regiments each of the 41st Division, 26th Division, and 36th Division, and 1 regiment each of the 37th Division and the 35th Division. , all the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 9th mixed brigades, and one each of the 15th and 6th independent mixed brigades.
In addition, there are the puppet security forces, the puppet Mongolian army, the puppet Manchukuo army, the puppet garrison, the puppet police, the puppet military police, the secret service agencies and all immigrants, etc. Basically all the troops that the Japanese army can use are dispatched.
In the four-month battle, as of December 5, the Eighth Route Army had conducted a total of 1,824 large and small battles, killing and wounding 20,645 Japanese soldiers, including 18 officers above the captain level, killing and wounding 5,155 puppet soldiers, and capturing 281 Japanese soldiers. There were 1,407 puppet soldiers, 47 Japanese soldiers who surrendered voluntarily and armed with weapons, and 1,845 puppet soldiers who defected anyway, totaling 46,380 people.
If the loss of Japanese and puppet troops is added to the more than 2,000 people killed and injured in the Fuwang Battle in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the more than 2,500 people killed and injured in the counter-attack "mopping up" in northwestern Shanxi, the number would reach more than 50,880.
In addition, 5,942 guns of various types and 53 cannons of various types were seized; 474 kilometers of railways, 1,502 kilometers of highways, 213 bridges, 37 railway stations, 11 tunnels, more than 217,000 rails, and more than 1.549 million sleepers were destroyed. More than 109,000 telephone poles and more than 424,000 kilograms of telephone lines were collected; 5 coal mines and 11 warehouses were damaged.
This is still an incomplete statistics. After all, there are many materials that cannot be calculated!
In order to cooperate with this attack, the Eighth Route Army in Shandong and Henan also carried out attacks on Jinpu Road, Jiaoji Road and Longhai Road. This led to the paralysis of many Japanese railway lines and achieved great results.
The results are brilliant, but the losses are also heavy!
The Eighth Route Army's first and second phases of operations were indeed remarkable, but the third phase of operations was completely passive and ultimately led to a rapid increase in the Eighth Route Army's casualties in this battle.
In the first three and a half months of combat, the Eighth Route Army suffered a total of 17,000 casualties and more than 20,000 people were poisoned.
Post-war statistics of the 129th Division alone showed that in the Hundred Regiments War, the division suffered 7,362 casualties and 450 people lost contact. The division's combat casualties in the Hundred Regiments War reached 7,812.
Although the casualties are not small, the meaning is different!
This battle not only dealt a heavy blow to the "cage policy" of the enemy's North China Front Army, but also greatly shocked the Japanese army. The Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters even called this battle a heart-digging battle. Every year on August 20, heart-digging is carried out. War commemoration.
The huge victory in this battle also greatly affected the national war situation and stopped the crisis of compromise within the Kuomintang. Politically, it also dispelled the rumors spread by the Kuomintang that "the Eighth Route Army wanders without attacking" and "specializes in attacking friendly forces."
As for the Japanese army, they were also deeply taboo about facing this battle. After the North China Front Army was attacked by this attack, they were deeply surprised that the Eighth Route Army had such a powerful force.
In the first half of the month after the battle, the top brass of the North China Front had been meeting continuously to analyze the gains and losses of the battle.
When analyzing the reasons for the defeat of this battle, most senior military officers agreed that the failure of the Imperial Japanese Army was not due to inferior strength, but mainly due to intelligence failure.
Therefore, the North China Front Army strengthened its reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army from all aspects and carried out large-scale raids.
To this end, Tada Shun also personally ordered his "Imperial City Research Institute" located in the Forbidden City in Peking to step up the deciphering of the Eighth Route Army's telegrams in an attempt to obtain intelligence on military operations in advance.
Because this raid dealt a huge blow to the Japanese army, although the war was over, the North China Front Army still did not dare to relax its vigilance, for fear that the Eighth Route Army would deal them a harder blow.
Amid the commotion, time finally entered 1941!
After more than four months, the war across Shanxi and Hebei provinces was finally over. Both the Japanese army, the Chinese army and the Eighth Route Army seemed very exhausted.
In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so during this period, the three parties have a tacit understanding and do not make any big moves, and they are very quiet with each other.
But being quiet does not mean that everyone is sleeping at home and doing nothing. In fact, both the Japanese and Chinese troops are very busy!
The Japanese army is not only busyThey were summarizing the strategic and tactical gains and losses in the second half of 1940, especially studying how to deal with the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack. At the same time, Japanese high-level officials were speeding up discussions on whether to go north or south, and were constantly wooing those who could form alliances. They were busy up and down. It's impossible to communicate.
The situation with the Eighth Route Army was similar. Although the results of the Hundred Regiment War were not small, the losses of the Eighth Route Army were also great. In addition, the exposure of the true strength also aroused high vigilance in Chongqing, and the relationship between the two sides became even more acute. What a headache!
The situation of the National Army is slightly better. The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army have been fighting in North China for four months. The pressure on the National Army has been greatly reduced, which made many troops subconsciously relax.
Especially in the Hebei-Cha War Zone and the First War Zone, which have always been tense, the soldiers of the national army often appear on the streets in twos and threes, or go to restaurants, or go shopping, and their lives are quite comfortable.
But this definitely does not include Li Guoyao¡¯s troops. As a commander who is familiar with the trend of history, Li Guoyao knows very well what 1941 means!
Domestically, in early 1941, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on southern Henan, and the Battle of Southern Henan broke out!
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack to the west of Yichang and launched the fifth large-scale strategic bombing of the entire rear area. During this period, the Chongqing air defense tunnel suffocation tragedy was triggered.
Soon after, the defeat in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle of the Third War Zone also caused China to lose its only coastal area.
In addition, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain broke out in May of this year. In this battle, the 100,000 defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain were collectively defeated, and more than 40,000 people were captured and killed. Chiang Kai-shek called it the biggest shame since the Anti-Japanese War. .
It can be said that 1941 was the most difficult year since China's Anti-Japanese War. In this year, the National Government tightened its belt to fight the Japanese and almost couldn't hold on.
Because of the impact of the international situation this year, China's foreign aid also encountered an extremely serious test. With all of China's coasts being blocked by the Japanese army, the Burma Highway in Yunnan also suffered a great threat. .
It was this year, in order to protect this artery of China¡¯s war of resistance. China decided to send troops from its overstretched domestic battlefield to fight in Myanmar to protect this lifeline of China's war of resistance.
It is a pity that the treacherous British retreated all the way west, causing the Chinese Expeditionary Force to enter Myanmar for the first time to suffer a major defeat!
However, these dangers of a devastating defeat were nothing. What made matters worse was that the fiasco at Zhongtiao Mountain made the Chongqing government even more troubled internally and externally. Seeing how vulnerable the Chinese army was, the British were afraid that the Japanese would come to help China. In retaliation, Hong Kong closed its ports to the mainland.
China has lost another way of foreign aid, so much so that Chairman Chiang was so angry that he yelled: Damn it, British devils are nothing.
The failure of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle also lost China's coast. What is even more tragic is that the failure of the expeditionary force caused the "Yunnan-Burma Road", the lifeline of the Anti-Japanese War that received US aid, to fall into the hands of the enemy. The combat readiness materials needed for the entire Chinese battlefield only relied on " "Hump route" transportation is a drop in the bucket!
All this sudden bad news caught Chiang Kai-shek by surprise at his official residence in Huangshan, Chongqing. This thin and tall commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater fell into a continuous period of disappointment and pain. The huge pressure made him unable to bear it anymore.
So much so that I shouted my mother's name loudly in the shower to relieve stress. I even thought about committing suicide. I once sighed: "If Zhang Hanqing had taken my life back then, there would be no need to suffer this crime today."
This year, the domestic situation is not good, and the international situation is also extremely turbulent!
First, the German army entered North Africa from Italy under the leadership of Rommel, and met with Garibaldi, the commander-in-chief of the Italian Army in North Africa.
Soon after, the German team resumed bombing in Britain and invaded Yugoslavia with Italy. Greece surrendered to the Axis Powers!
The most eye-catching thing was the outbreak of the Soviet-German War and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor this year. The Pacific War broke out and World War II broke out in full force!
It can be said that 1941 was a critical year of turmoil. This year had both risks and opportunities. What Li Guoyao had to do was to seize the time and accumulate strength so that he could seize the opportunity in time when it came!
