Chapter 927: Bad News Follows
The remnants of the Japanese army have escaped from Beiping, but it does not mean that the threat of North China has really been eliminated, the Kwantung Army still has millions of troops, if they react, suddenly go south to pose a threat to the Pingjin area, it is also a very troublesome thing!
Especially the ancient city of Beiping, it can't stand a little artillery fire, if Beiping City is within the coverage of the Japanese artillery, Liao Fan will inevitably make a decision to give up Beiping! An ancient city is easy to destroy, and it is impossible to make it the way it was! In order to keep Beiping and avoid war, Taihang Mountain has endured it for so long! It was not easy to wipe out all the Japanese troops who retreated to Beiping, and it was impossible to take away the initiative in North China again.
Therefore, after eliminating the Japanese army in Baoding, the two divisions of Li Weimin and Cunqi must advance north as soon as possible and push the defensive line to the vicinity of Shanhaiguan as much as possible!
After a day and a night of fighting, the Japanese troops around Baoding have been annihilated by them, but it does not mean that they have enough troops! But when Cun Qi learned that there were four divisions of the Japanese army infiltrating Taihang Mountain, posing a very big threat to their station, Cun Qi sent all his reserves, including the guard troops and the troops directly under the group army, to the battlefield, and then transferred a main force back to support Taihang Mountain!
The reason why Cunqi did not let his reserves go back to support is because there are many difficulties in the scheduling and unification of the reserves, on the contrary, a complete army, unified command, unified combat operations, much stronger than the combat effectiveness of the reserves!
After receiving the order, one of Cunqi's troops rushed back non-stop! The car is also driving at full power, and the situation in Taihang Mountain is very critical, and they must rush back as quickly as possible!
"Report to the Chief of Staff, the commander of the First Regiment of the Seventh Division of the Second Army will report to you with his subordinates!" The head of the regiment turned pale, and it was clear that they had not stopped along the way.
"Great! I've finally waited for you guys to come! What about the troops? ”
"Chief of Staff, just give the order, I promise to complete the mission!"
Although they are tired, they can't care so much about life and death!
"Okay, your regiment will go to assist the 3rd Regiment of the Guard Division and hold the retreat of the Japanese army! It's easy for little devils to enter our mountain, but they can't go out if they want to! ”
Where is Taihang Mountain so where you can come if you want to come and leave if you want! If the little devils come so easily, and then leave easily, this is obviously telling everyone that they are very easy to bully!
With the arrival of the troops one after another, the roads for the advance and retreat of the four divisions of the Japanese army were blocked, and the little devil was really in a desperate situation, there were mountains everywhere, there was no way to go, and there was no food to eat, as long as the Chinese army held the commanding heights of the mountains, the little devil had to endure it even if he had the temper to fight again!
The Japanese army in North China no longer had the strength to fight back, and in the end all the troops won a great victory! After the battle in Baoding was over, Li Weimin and Cun Qi began to march north with their troops, all the way to Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan!
The Japanese troops of the four divisions in Taihang Mountain were wiped out, half captured and half captured, and countless free laborers were added to Taihang Mountain, and these little devils did dangerous work such as mining and mountain roads!
The little devils who invaded Taihang Mountain found that they were clearing the roads when they were attacking, and in the end they surrendered and were still cleaning up those roads that were blown up!
"Inform the Propaganda Department, including our Propaganda Department in Chongqing, that North China has been recovered!"
Although Liao Fan is not a person who attaches great importance to fame, such a big event as the recovery of North China is indeed worthy of celebration by the whole country, and it has not been a long time since such a large-scale victory has been achieved in the entire war.
"Brother Fan, is it a holiday for our troops or something, such a big victory, the soldiers should also celebrate with the people!"
"No, inform all units not to relax their vigilance, sum up the combat experience tonight, start training as usual tomorrow morning, after five days, the troops can be allowed to ask for leave, but it must be changed and built indiscriminately, we are still early from the victory of the whole war!"
Rejoice is rejoicing, but it's not time for the troops to relax! The Kwantung Army in the northeast may enter the pass again at any time, and they relax their vigilance to give the little devils a chance! The victory that was finally ushered in cannot be given up like this.
Just when Taihang Mountain achieved a very big victory, in the vicinity of the Great Xing'an Mountains, Hu Guoshan and Liu Chundao pulled out the Japanese army's threatening strongholds and artillery towers at the eastern foot of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and Hu Guoshan also sent people to contact Ma Wanzhong!
The people of the whole country were immersed in the joy of the victory in North China, but all the troops in Taihang Mountain did not dare to relax their vigilance, and while they recovered North China, it also meant that they would face all the main forces in the Northeast!
Although the troops of Taihang Mountain have been deployed on three sides of the Northeast region, the Northeast region is not a mountain, nor is it a town, he has a vast land, and the Japanese army has millions of troops waiting for them, they no longer have the help of the national army or the Eighth Route Army, and can only bear the pressure given to them by the Japanese army alone!
"Brother Fan, bad news!"
Li Lingfei gave the telegram in his hand to Liao Fan, and when everyone was immersed in excitement, Liao Fan received bad news here.
"Aren't they afraid that we will not be able to withdraw?" Liao Fan was not shocked on the surface, when he arranged for He Guoxing to go to the Soviet Union, he knew that something like this would happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon!
"If we withdraw, they will also withdraw all the industries in our defense zone!" Li Lingfei said, "According to our intelligence, the Soviets are making secret contact with the Japanese!" ”
Liao Fan took a deep breath, he can't do without the Soviets now, he doesn't have the ability to go to the Soviets to ask for the guilt, he doesn't have this strength, and Hebei has just been recovered, and he needs a large number of factories to restore people's livelihood, he needs the support of the Soviets now!
"Inform He Guoxing, if he needs anything, just ask, I will do everything I can to transport it to him!"
It turned out that after the Soviets in the Far East gained a foothold in the Chinese army in the Great Khinganling area, their troops in the Far East began to retreat, and the Soviets had been planning a counterattack against the Germans after their victory in the Battle of Moscow!
However, launching a counterattack requires troops, although the Germans planted a big heel in Moscow, but the Germans still have enough troops to hold the entire defensive line, and the Soviets do not have many troops to launch a counterattack against the Germans, and the only troops that can be mobilized are only troops in the Far East!
When the Soviets promised to help Taihang Mountain build the railway, they had already thought that they would use the troops in the Far East sooner or later, so the Soviets were very enthusiastic when building the railway, and even when He Guoxing led the troops to the Soviet Union, they were very enthusiastic to help them and provide them with supplies!
Liao Fan also knew that the Soviets would be so enthusiastic when they used them, originally Liao Fan thought that he would give them some buffer time, but he didn't expect the Soviets to withdraw so quickly!
"I have already informed that it seems that all will only seek the interests of their own country, and so are we, and so are the Soviets!" Li Lingfei was not disappointed with the performance of the Soviets, but the Soviets changed a little too quickly.
"We can't rely on the Soviets anymore! When they will decide the Germans, that will be when they will no longer rely on us! We have to throw the Soviets and do it themselves! ”
They stole a lot of technology from the Soviets, but it is still a little difficult to form a scale and industrialization! But they always have to take this step, and if they don't practice it themselves, they will never know where their shortcomings are.
Now that they have recovered the entire Hebei region and the Pingjin region, they can completely use the Hebei region as an experiment, imitate the complete industrial system established by the Soviets in Shanxi, and develop their own industry, and independent production mode is their long-term way!
Moreover, there are many factories in the Pyongjin area, so they can also take advantage of this!
"Yes, we can't rely on the Soviets anymore, now the education in our defense area has also improved, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, there are many colleges and universities in the Pingjin area, because of the war have moved south, take advantage of this time we can allocate funds to colleges and universities, hire foreign teachers, re-enroll, return to normal teaching, focus on training a group of students first, as long as three or four years, we can have the first batch of outstanding talents to use!"
"Good way! Inform Liu Deyun and tell him that he can return to his hometown in fine clothes, and he will be his Minister of Education in his hometown, and all matters related to education will be under his control! Liao Fan ordered directly.
At the beginning, because of the war, the colleges and universities in Beiping and Tianjin moved south, but there were a large number of students who did not move south, and they spontaneously organized anti-Japanese things over the years, and now the school has been re-established, and it is also a very good thing to return to school to study, no longer have to worry about the little devils, on the contrary, they can use their knowledge to serve the country!
Restore production, revitalize education, and develop the economy! In Liao Fan's defense area, this is the most important thing, it is good to have a full stomach, and resuming production is the most basic thing!
For the people of Shanxi and Hebei, although the war has been far away from them, the real war is not over, the factories are producing military supplies on a large scale, and their relatives are still fighting with the little devils on the battlefield!
Young people began to actively join the army, wars were no longer repeated defeats, but successive victories, the morale of the people was boosted, and people from all walks of life were working hard to do what they could for the development of their country.
But Liao Fan had just arranged all this, and another bad news came, the Japanese mainland once again increased its troops to the Northeast!
"It looks like we can't stop recruiting troops!" Liao Fan is in a heavy mood, resuming production requires a large number of people, especially young people, but now the little devils are forcing them to keep increasing their troops!
