    After issuing this order to the Political Department of the Eighth District, the man specifically told the director of the Political Department that once the Japanese army appeared along the Tongpu Railway, there should be no hesitation to bring all the staff and workers who assisted in the dismantling,  Cover the sick and wounded and immediately retreat along the Tongpu Railway towards Xindian.

    After arriving at Xindian, do not continue to evacuate north or west, but turn northeast to the Shicheng line. There will be troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Division to pick them up. For the transportation of the wounded and sick, it is really impossible to forcibly mobilize some migrant workers.  In short, he said that the intellectuals of the Political Department, as well as all the injured people gathered on a train at this moment, would be put in charge of him, the director of the Political Department.

    In the opinion of the commander of the Eighth Division, he would rather give up the equipment than lose a sick person and an intellectual. This is the real plan related to the stability and future development of the army. This person who has always strictly enforced mass discipline  A cadre from the old Red Army has nothing else to worry about at the moment.

    At present, almost all the effective forces have been dispatched, and even the scholars of the Political Department are dispatched with the army. He is different from the old comrade-in-arms in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Fourth Division. The old comrade-in-arms in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Fourth Division sent out to look for them.  They were not found at all. It was only after the gunshots were fired outside Taiyuan City that the four divisional agencies operating in Pingtou and Lingjing, north of Yangshou, discovered that there was fighting here.

    In fact, the radio station was lost during the anti-mopping operations last winter. In order to ensure the survival of the troops when most of the supplies were lost and the base area was continuously subjected to unprecedented large-scale raids, and it was no longer able to support the large troops, the troops were dispersed.  This man got involved inadvertently. The three regiments he participated in were all serious combat troops.

    But my own eighth division is different. All the family members are here, and there are even a group of Yan'an Anti-Japanese University students and Jinsui Branch Party School students. These are all treasures. Losing one of them is a huge loss. He is the division commander.  Party members and political commissars must consider protecting these people.

    Whether the wounded can be escorted out safely is a major issue related to the stability of the army's morale. Everyone knows the Japanese army's consistent way of treating the wounded of its opponents. In the core area of ??enemy-occupied areas like Taiyuan, if the wounded are placed among ordinary people,  Home is almost equivalent to sending them to death.

    In order to be able to evacuate a large number of wounded people when needed, he had no choice but to learn from Yang Jicai what he had learned on the spot.  Those words were conveyed to the director of his political department intact.

    Moreover, the commander handed over the counterfeit coins seized from the Bank of Japan in Taiyuan to the director of the Political Department and told him that it was OK to force the people to carry the wounded, but the money must be left behind. Although this kind of action violated the three major disciplines,  Eight points of attention, but we must also try our best to restore some of the impact.

    This commander and political commissar made a helpless choice. The Eighth District Political Department was the place where all the intellectuals under him were concentrated. He was reluctant to lose even one of these intellectuals, let alone if they were surrounded by the Japanese army.  The chances of these talents standing out are not high.

    After giving the order to the director of the Political Department, he specifically talked to the battalion commander of a basic battalion in the Eighth Division who was responsible for protecting the dismantled equipment and told the instructors to immediately abandon the train and the dismantled equipment once the situation became critical, and concentrate all  The forces launched a counterattack along the Tongpu Railway to the east of the city.

    Even if all his basic battalions are destroyed, he still has to rescue the last strength of the Resistance Alliance. If the task is completed, even if all the troops are destroyed, they will be credited with great merit. If he cannot complete the task, even if he does not lose a single soldier.  , I will also kill their heads when I come back. This is a death order and must be completed.

    At the same time, he sent capable personnel to look for the troops of the Southern Hebei Military Region behind the Japanese troops in the east of the city. Even if he brought back at least one regiment, the current predicament could be alleviated. After doing all this, the commander of the eighth division reported a telegram to the acting commander.  members, requesting superiors to coordinate with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops and find ways to mobilize part of the militia to respond to the wounded and sick at the front line of Fengliang Pavilion.

    The acting commander who received the telegram shook his head and forwarded the telegram to the boss in Xing County to coordinate the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops. He did not have that authority yet, and the Jin Dynasty had already dispatched all the troops.  The Sui Military Region really could not send troops to respond to the Taiyuan battlefield.

    After carefully reading the telegram from the acting commander, the boss sitting in Xing County handed the telegram to the person in front of him, shook his head and said: "I really don't know whether to say that he is not afraid of tigers.  Or should I say that this little guy is too dogmatic. At this point, your subordinate doesn't even have a word of complaint. I really don't know what to say. "

    "Now, basically all the strongholds outside Taiyuan have been abandoned by him."Well, if we don't evacuate at this time, once the Japanese troops appear in Yangqu in the north, I'm afraid there will be no chance to evacuate. Can't we take those machines and equipment away? As long as the people are preserved, we can find a way to lose the equipment.  "

    "I think it would be better for you to give him an order to evacuate immediately. Otherwise, once the Japanese army gets stuck, not to mention the mechanical equipment, they will have to withdraw safely with the few troops they have, let alone the mechanical equipment."  , itĄŻs basically impossible, you know, the Japanese troops around him are several times his strength and firepower.Ą±

    "With so many wounded people, once they are surrounded by the Japanese army, it will be very difficult to break out. If such a good commander and such a capable young man is really lost, it will be a big loss for the army. Can  It is not easy to persist for such a long time under the siege of the superior Japanese forces. "

    "A brigade of the Japanese field division can often defeat a division in Chongqing. In many cases, if we want to defeat a Japanese brigade, we must concentrate at least one brigade or even more troops. Even so, it will not be possible.  It may not be possible to completely eat up a Japanese infantry brigade. I know that your anti-alliance troops are very powerful, but the disparity in strength between the enemy and us is too great at the moment."

    The person sitting opposite the boss was none other than Yang Zhen, the number one leader of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. He came to Xingxian County at this time when he should not have left the headquarters to discuss with the boss how to cooperate with the troops inside and outside the Shanxi Pass on the entire battlefield in northwestern Shanxi.  The most critical issue is the issue of food and material supplies.

    After Mu Changqiu broke through the front line of the Great Wall and opened up the Datong battlefield, it became extremely difficult to raise food. It was difficult to meet the needs of the Datong battlefield for a long time by relying solely on the Japanese army's food reserves captured in Jining and Guisui. Before the Anti-Japanese War,  The supplies sent were mainly ammunition and other combat materials. He came to Xingxian this time just for food issues.

    In addition, there were certain problems in battlefield coordination between the Anti-Japanese League and the Jinsui Military Region, which were cooperating for the first time. The troops of the Jinsui Military Region cooperating with the Anti-Japanese League had completely different combat styles from each other.  The cooperation was quite rough, and there was even an accidental injury. Yang Zhen came to Xingxian at this time mainly to solve this matter. Considering that the boss was supervising the war in Xingxian, it was not appropriate to send someone else.

    As for the Taiyuan raid, although it is very critical, for the overall situation of this operation, it is just a small local battle. If it is important, I am afraid it is between the 41st Division and the 32nd Division.  What happened after the reinforcements arrived at the Taiyuan battlefield.

    Yang Jicai's actions in Taiyuan inadvertently held back an entire Japanese division or most of a division. In disguise, it held back part of the Japanese troops and slowed down the Japanese reinforcements in northern Shanxi. To a large extent,  This reduced the pressure on Chen Hanzhang on the battlefield in northern Shanxi, and at least gave him relatively sufficient time to progress in the battle to capture Datong.

    To be honest, when he first received the report that the 41st Division had arrived in Taiyuan, Yang Zhen was not too worried. In his opinion, with Yang Jicai's ability and the cooperation of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei armed forces,  Before the 41st Division broke through the defense line, it still had no problems completing the task of transporting equipment.

    But after the 32nd Division joined the battlefield, his heart has been hanging. Whether it is the Shanxi-Sui Military Region or the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, one of the best is now on the Baotou battlefield, the other is in the advancing army, and the remaining troops  , either suffered heavy losses in last year's anti-mopping battle, or the main force transferred the local armed forces left behind. It can be said that the role it can play is not ideal.

    These troops are quite poor in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment, and these troops are also accustomed to guerrilla warfare of fighting if they win and leaving if they cannot win. This kind of head-on battle with the Japanese regular field divisions will probably be difficult to persist for too long.  It took a long time, and although the roundabout troops led by Yang Jicai were well-equipped, they had too few troops.

    Two Japanese divisions suddenly rushed forward. For Yang Jicai, who was at the core of the entire storm, how long he could hold on was his biggest concern. Even with the cooperation of the relevant troops, with the strength of a strengthened regiment  , it is also very difficult to resist a Japanese army of one and a half divisions.

    What Yang Zhen is even more worried about is not only whether the troops can evacuate safely, but also whether the equipment from the northwest steelmaking plant he named can be finally transported out. There is also a layer in his heart that, given his character, cannot  The worry he expressed was for the safety of his biological brother.

    Once this younger brother is sacrificed, will the parents who have lost a son accept it? Yang Zhen knows very well that although his younger brother is a bit introverted, he is definitely not the kind of person who is afraid of death. If he loses the battle and cannot break out of the encirclement, the troops  When the entire army was destroyed, he would never become a prisoner just to survive.

    ItĄŻs just that he didnĄŻtIt turns out that Yang Jicai relied on these troops with different structures to come together. Although there were still some Japanese and puppet troops in depth, he withstood the siege of one and a half divisions of the Japanese army. Under the eyes of the Japanese army,  Under the bed, most of the equipment and workers were rushed out safely.

    At this time, Yang Zhen realized that he had really underestimated his younger brother. But for the current Yang Zhen, he believed that since Yang Jicai had not complained until now, it meant that there was no room for easing the situation. He was a combat staff officer.  He is not the kind of person who rigidly performs tasks.

    To be able to contend with one and a half divisions of the Japanese army for such a long time with such strength, Yang Jicai should know how to advance and retreat. If he is still insisting, it means that he can still resist in the last ten hours. Thinking of this, Yang Zhen's heart  The worry about this younger brother has somewhat eased.

    But Yang Zhen also knew very well that even if Yang Jicai's troops could hold on for the last ten hours, I am afraid that the troops under his command would be wiped out under such a long siege by so many Japanese troops.  Although Yang Zhen feels distressed about the loss, if these equipment and workers can be transported out, and the future impact on the entire North China war situation, in Yang Zhen's opinion, the price is still worth it.
