Revolution 1938

Chapter 255 Eighth Army

Everyone in the Soviet delegation fell asleep with a different mindset that night.Among them, most of them were full of the joy of being able to sleep well at last, while two of them slowly fell asleep with confusion and confusion.

And it is even more unknown what kind of mentality those German Nazis fell asleep with as the instigators.

However, these are not a big deal. For the actual leader of the Soviet delegation, A Ruqia, the political commissar of the delegation, those gadgets he didn’t know made him confused and refused to accept them, making him feel that the current China The Labor Party seems to be different from the information he knows, but this does not mean that the Chinese Labor Party is already qualified to communicate with him face to face on an equal footing.

Because, in his heart, Yan'an was just a Communist International... No, it should be said that it was the seat of the local industrialist party under the leadership of the Soviet Union.As long as the Soviet Union gives an order, this so-called Labor Party should fully obey, even if there are mountains of swords and flames in front of it, it should jump off.

Therefore, although the things sent by the Germans are really good intentions, whether they are jokes, or some kind of reminders, to Arucha at this time, they are all floating clouds. Standing behind him is the great Soviet, so in Yan'an he is the overlord.

With this kind of mood, Arucha still slept very well that night, and the quality of sleep was quite high.Of course, it cannot be denied that the facilities in this so-called guest house are so good that on summer nights, he can actually sleep under a quilt just like in Moscow.

The next day, in the early morning, under the guidance of the young waiters in the guest house, the Soviet delegation ate the strange Chinese breakfast, and were taken to an office not far away by the guide waiting at the door. In the compound.

Here, they will meet with the main leaders of the Chinese Communist Party to discuss the affairs that the great Marshal Stalin personally explained when they were in Moscow.Of course, in Ah Ruqia's heart, he also wanted to get angry with that so-called Committee Member Mao about the hardships along the way.Only by showing off to the other party can the subsequent negotiations be completed properly.

However, all kinds of threats and harsh words he had thought up on the way to the meeting place were of no use in the end, because when the guide took them to the meeting room, he left and left them alone. A few cups of coffee and an empty conference room….

Some people may be asking, didn't they agree to negotiate with the Soviets, why were they late?

This is not to blame for Mao Runze and his party, because just now, a news from Zhangjiakou made them all stay in the conference room of the staff headquarters.

"Old Mao, what do you think the Japanese mean? This is to take back Zhangjiakou? Outer Mongolia is lost, so why do you want to increase the price?"

"If you want me to say, there are two possibilities. One is that a certain Japanese army's chief or major, no matter who he is, is probably stimulated. He came here to seek death to show his respect for the emperor. The second is that the whole of Japan is concerned* The Eastern Army was stimulated, and they came here to seek death, to show their respect for the emperor."

At this time, Peng Shichuan, the person in charge of the Outer Mongolia Campaign who happened to be returning to Yan'an for a meeting, held the tea mug in his hand while bouncing his left foot, joking leisurely on the chair beside the conference table.

"Okay, Shi Chuan, who doesn't know that you, General Peng, are making a big fuss now. The reaction of the Japanese seems normal to me. Zhangjiakou is only 150 kilometers away from Beiping, and another 150 kilometers to the south is the seaside of Tianjin. , if you take Zhangjiakou now, can the Japanese be in a hurry? You just need to use a little force, and the Japanese troops in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and other places will make dumplings for us."

"Who said no?"

At this time, Zhou Xiangyu walked into the meeting room with a smile.

"I said, Shi Chuan, tell me, how many people did you release in Zhangjiakou?"

"Not much, just the strength of one regiment. The 38th Regiment of the 112th Division under the 334th Army is stationed in Xuanhua. In addition, on their right is the divisional artillery regiment of the 112th Division, which is now stationed in Jining.

Together in Jining is also a reserve division I am forming, using the weapons and equipment we seized in Outer Mongolia, and the armored vehicles brought back by our comrades in Outer Mongolia.However, the soldiers are all new and have not yet completed basic training, so they basically have no combat effectiveness. "

Hearing what Peng Shichuan said, Commander-in-Chief Zhu Jiande frowned and carefully marked on the map on the table, then he laughed.

"Shi Chuan, your strength in Zhangjiakou is enough to fight face-to-face with an ordinary Japanese division. Moreover, the Japanese may not be able to take advantage of you. In addition to Jining, your reserve division can be regarded as trained. It's been half a month, and I should be able to understand the basic tactical moves. I can't play counter-offensive, but I should be able to defend.

In addition to the artillery regiment of the 112th Division, they are all 155-caliber heavy artillery. The Japanese garrison division in Datong wants to see that your defensive position loses at least two-thirds of its strength.Aren't you a bully?

And just looking at the number of soldiers, Jining has more troops than Zhangjiakou. Of course, the Japanese will attack Zhangjiakou first.

By the way, above Zhangjiakou, have you arranged for defense? "

"It has been arranged. The other troops of the 112th Division are basically stationed at Dengkuku in Outer Mongolia, Ude in Chahar, and Anming. The total strength is enough to fight against a Japanese standing division."

"You old boy, you have already prepared it. It seems that if the Japanese don't move, you may already want to go to Peiping. To be honest, is it because of Beiping that you come back this time? I don't believe you will." Just come back for a meeting, you know the content of this meeting very well."

At this time, Mao Runze, who was also watching the map on the table, blew on the soot scattered on the map with his mouth, and then asked with a smile.But Peng Shichuan looked innocent.

"No way, of course I came back to attend the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee. This enlarged meeting of the whole party, how could I, an old party member, not participate?"

"Okay, Lao Peng, tell me the truth, what is it for? Look at you, it's written all over your face when you lie."

After Zhou Xiangyu on the side finished speaking, the entire conference room roared with laughter.And Peng Shichuan, who was spotted, touched the new stubble on his head with his empty right hand in embarrassment and said embarrassingly.

"Is it obvious? I think it's fine, as usual!

never mind!Talk about business!

I came back to solve the problem of building the reserve corps.Now I only have two group armies in my hands, but they are in charge of nearly 400 million square kilometers including Outer Mongolia.It is really not enough manpower.

Moreover, the northern and eastern parts of Outer Mongolia are now full of Japanese. Although we are on the offensive, there is nothing wrong with it for the time being, but once the entire offensive operation stops, I will have no way to see all the borders.

Coupled with the front line of Chahar and the surrounding areas of Xinjiang, the situation is also complicated.

Now the 38th Army is basically pinned down on the eastern front of several thousand kilometers from Maimaicheng to Zhangjiakou. Fortunately, the 38th Army is equipped with advanced equipment, and the Japanese are basically not moving, so the situation is not bad.

The biggest problem is the 18th Group Army. Although their equipment has been changed and their individual attack power is strong, the transportation facilities in the entire Outer Mongolia, including our Ningxia and Gansu areas, are really poor, and there is no communication between the various combat units. Ways to do maneuvers.

Now the entire 18th Group Army has been completely split into three groups, stationed in Ningxia, Gansu, and the front line from Shamukla to Uha in Outer Mongolia.He was completely restrained by the local military situation and could not move.

If it weren't for the help of the 15th Army, I would have no way to intervene in the northern part of Outer Mongolia.

However, the Military Commission gave me an order the day before yesterday, requiring the 15th Army to withdraw from the scope of the Outer Mongolia campaign before the end of the month. What do you want me to do?Commander-in-Chief Zhu, you have to comment. "

Listening to Peng Shichuan's long speech, at this moment, Mao Runze and Zhu Jiande looked at each other, and then burst out laughing. Mao Runze pointed at Peng Shichuan and cursed with a smile.

"General Peng, after a long time, you came back to Xingshi to inquire about the crime!"

"Where is there? Is there?"

The two modern phrases that Peng Shichuan uttered out of nowhere at this time made the staff officers who were busy crossing over couldn't help but laugh out loud.At this time, Li Hao coughed twice, and spoke from the side.

"Mr. Peng, don't worry. Since the Military Commission ordered the 15th Army to retreat, it must have prepared troops to replace them. Let me explain to you now.

First of all, for the 18th Army, the Military Commission has decided to equip them with armored units. The first batch of trained units has been formed. We have trained nearly 30 battalions of armored units and artillery units in Puhai. After nearly 3 months of training For training, you have basically mastered the relevant combat techniques. Although it is still far from our requirements, it is enough to meet the tactical needs of the entire northwest of Outer Mongolia. Subsequent training can be carried out in various garrisons.

These companies will be added to the divisions of the 18th Army according to the established organization. Each regiment will be equipped with an armored battalion, that is, three companies, and the replaced infantry battalion will be transferred to form the 8th Army. Army Group.And each regiment will also add another artillery battalion to strengthen the strength of each combat unit.

另外,新组建的第8集团军将按照装甲集团军的标准进行配属,从第18集团军中置换出来的5个步兵营另外加上10个新训练的装甲营,以一配二的方式生成5个团,组成第8集团军100师和101师。

One of the regiments exists as a combat regiment directly under the group army. The Military Commission will allocate 7 artillery regiments to the 8th group army to form artillery regiments of each division and the artillery regiments of the group. Among them, one artillery regiment will be equipped with the artillery regiments we seized from the Japanese. Large caliber artillery.

Through this, the 8th Army can quickly form combat effectiveness and replace the current defense zone of the 15th Army. Moreover, the armored army attributes of the 8th Army are more suitable for fighting in northwest Mongolia and later in Siberia.

The Military Commission will also provide you with the technical equipment of the 5 regiments, so that you can continue to expand the establishment of the 8th Army in the days to come.And improve the various technical arms of the group army. "

After saying this, Li Hao took out a document from the folder in his hand and handed it to Peng Shichuan.
