Under the instructions of General Peng, the 129th Division and the joint headquarters of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were quickly erected, and the joint headquarters was commanded by Division Commander Liu and Commander Nie was the deputy commander-in-chief, and it was planned that the two divisions would dispatch 7 brigades and 19 regiments, totaling more than 43,000 troops, to carry out continuous sabotage battles on the Baijin, Deshi, Zhengtai, Pinghan and other railways and major highways, so as to contain the Japanese army, and at the same time make every effort to block the southward movement of the Japanese 108th Division, and if there is an opportunity, try to annihilate it completely.

After the establishment of the joint command, considering that Ma Zheng's division made repeated major moves in many battlefields in North China, the 129th Division could contain the Japanese army along the Zhengtai Railway, which would greatly reduce the pressure on Ma Zheng's headquarters, so Mr. Peng believed that it was necessary to listen to the opinions of Ma Zheng and others. After all, this time it was Ma Zheng and the troops under his command who carried the beam, and now Ma Zheng did not belong to the battle sequence of the Eighth Route Army, it was one of the troops directly under the Yan'an Military Commission.

To put it mildly, the orders of the troops directly under the Eighth Route Army Headquarters are to listen to the propaganda or not to listen to the tune, and if it is not good, Ma Zheng can give or ignore the face of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. Therefore, Mr. Peng did not dare to order Ma Zheng excessively, and it was necessary to ask Ma Zheng's opinion.

This is not to say that Ma Zheng's authority is so great that even President Peng has to give face, but as a far-sighted leader, he has a necessary respect for his subordinates, a way to do things for others, and an excellent quality.

After receiving a call back from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Ma Zheng thought a lot, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army actually wanted to set up a joint command to deal with the 108th Division, which was a bit unexpected by Ma Zheng, but in any case, this was a good thing for Ma Zheng's department.

The strength of the 129th Division Ma Zheng is very clear, the development history of the 129th Division, the 115th Division, and the 120th Division is a compulsory course for future military academy students, and Ma Zheng also knows that not long ago, Liu Bocheng reorganized all the regular troops of the 129th Division, and the headquarters was officially expanded from two brigades to nine brigades.

What is the concept of 9 brigades, even if there are only 5,000 people in a brigade, the 129th Division has nearly 50,000 people. Coupled with the vigorous support of Ma Zheng's department in recent years, the weapons and equipment of all units of the Eighth Route Army have been replaced, can the weapons and equipment of the main force like the 129th Division be inferior?

Although it is impossible for all of the 50,000 troops to participate in the battle, as long as half of the strength participates in the attack on the 108th Division, it is enough for the old devil of Xia Yuan Xiong Mi to drink a pot, not to mention that there is also the Jinchaji Military Region to cooperate in the operation.

The participation of the 129th Division and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will inevitably greatly delay the time for the Japanese army to move south, and Ma Zheng and others can do a lot of things during this time. Ma Zheng knew in his heart that although the participation of the 129th Division in the battle would inevitably lead to a larger-scale counterattack by the Japanese army, and even a kind of strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army, once the Japanese army freed up, it would inevitably carry out more frantic encirclement, suppression, and sweeping of the Eighth Route Army in the security area.

But Ma Zheng didn't care, the 129th Division and the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region participated in the war, which would inevitably greatly contain the Japanese army, which increased the success rate of Ma Zheng's troops in attacking Xinkou and southern Hebei a lot, and Ma Zheng was confident that he would sweep Jinzhong and southern Hebei within a month.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ma Zheng quickly sent a telegram back to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, agreeing that the 129th Division and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region would participate in the war. At the same time, Ma Zheng also proposed that when the 129th Division intercepted the 108th Division, its troops in the southeast of Shanxi would destroy the Zhengtai Railway at all costs and paralyze it, and the Eighth Route Army in the central Hebei region should also be dispatched to carry out a diversionary attack on the Japanese troops in Baoding and Fuping.

After reading Ma Zheng's opinions, Mr. Peng, Master Liu and others looked at each other. They were surprised by the intention expressed by Ma Zheng in the telegram, and the strategic goal of Ma Zheng's department was always known to Peng, which was directly formulated by the Yan'an side to the Suicha Military Region, and the goal was to fight a big victory of sufficient scale in North China to enhance the anti-Japanese enthusiasm at home and abroad that had been sluggish due to the fall of Wuhan, and the specific goal was to directly take southern Hebei and bring Handan and the six counties southeast of Handan into the sphere of influence of the Shandong Independent Division.

But now it seems that they are underestimating Ma Zheng, this guy is obviously pointing at the whole of North China, I really don't know how big this kid's appetite is.

After a long time, Mr. Peng said with emotion: "Bo Cheng, the hero is a young man, this kid's appetite is not small!" ”

"Yes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the world is young now, it seems that our Commander Ma is ready to swallow all the little devils in Hebei in one bite, and his appetite is not ordinary. However, there are more than 100,000 little devils in Hebei, plus more than 100,000 troops of the puppet army, it is not a small army, I don't know where this kid's confidence comes from, I am really afraid that this time he will ......" Division Commander Liu said worriedly.

Mr. Peng also understood what Division Commander Liu meant, but Mr. Peng decisively interrupted Division Commander Liu's words and said: "Bo Cheng, we have to believe Comrade Ma Zheng, it has been a year since the Suicha Military Region was placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Commission, and now none of us know how many hole cards that kid has. Besides, now that there is a war on the Hebei side, we can only believe that kid can hold on! ”

Then Mr. Peng continued: "But Comrade Ma Zheng can still believe that since he moved to Chahar, he has been developing at a jaw-dropping speed that we have. The miracle of the Suicha Military Region was created without us realizing it, and maybe this time he can also do the miracle. ”

……

With the support of the 129th Division, Ma Zheng completely let go of his hands and feet this time, and that night Ma Zheng ordered the reorganization of the first division to seize Yuanping.

After receiving Ma Zheng's order, Huang Sicheng, commander-in-chief of the northern Jin front, immediately ordered the whole army to advance on the whole line, and after a day and night of attack, the Japanese army in Chunyang Town was finally defeated, and the strategic support point and northern gateway of the march to Yuanping were taken.

More importantly, while attacking Chunyang Town, Tie Niu's special combat team launched a surprise attack on the Japanese airfield in Yangmingbao Town, Dai County, and the special combat team in this battle made great efforts to easily annihilate the Japanese troops of two squadrons of the Japanese airfield, successfully captured Yangmingbao Airport, and captured 33 Japanese aircraft.

Subsequently, the reorganized 1st Division and the assault brigade continued to move south, and at 4 o'clock in the morning of August 31, the encirclement of Yuanping was completed, and the 79th Wing of the 40th Brigade of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army was surrounded.

After receiving the battle report from the front, Ma Zheng was extremely happy, and the geographical location of Yuanping was extremely important. As long as Yuanping is won, Xinkou is equal to the door is wide open. Although it is not so easy to completely defeat the Japanese army in Xinkou to the front line, as long as the original peace is lost, the Japanese army will have to pay a very heavy price even if it holds Xinkou.

On the southern Hebei front, although the time was ripe to capture Handan, Ma Zheng did not order several brigades under the independent division to launch a general attack on Handan, mainly because Handan now has other uses, in order to lure the 108th Division to take the bait, Ma Zheng needs the city of Handan to "stand firm".

However, this does not mean that the life of the little devils in Handan City is better, in order to maintain the strategy of continuous high pressure on the Japanese army in the city, the gunfire outside Handan City has not stopped in the past few days, and even Ma Zheng's department once attacked the city, but was soon "driven out" by the Japanese army.

Although Ma Zheng's department has not yet broken the city, Tokugawa Yasu in the city has been frightened early in the morning, like a frightened bird, and he can't stop worrying. He had already thought of the fate of his predecessors Hasunuma Pan, Naito Ichi, Sawada Shigeru, Sekihara Roku and others, and when he thought of the final outcome of these famous generals of the Great Japanese Empire, Tokugawa Yasuichi couldn't help but tremble.

In addition to the panic, telegrams asking for help were sent one after another to the headquarters of the North China Front and the headquarters of the 108th Division, with a staggering frequency.

With Tokugawa Yasuichi's urging, the 108th Division did not dare to slack off, under the command of the division commander Xia Yuan Xiongya, two infantry wings and a cavalry wing plus some technical arms totaling more than 10,000 people, finally set off from Yangquan, took a train to Shimen, and prepared to go south to reinforce Tokugawa Yasuichi.

After a long time, he came out, still holding the pipa and half covering his face. The 108th Division has finally debuted, and a big battle is finally going to be staged in the land of Yanzhao. (To be continued.) )
