Chapter 172: The Battle Ends, Recovering Taiyuan
Heitaro Kimura and Hisaichi Terauchi were killed.
This means that the last group of Japanese soldiers in Taiyuan city no longer have the intention to resist.
But even if the Japanese wanted to surrender, it would be useless.
Zhang Ling ordered the Eighth Route Army soldiers to gather all the surrendered Japanese devils together.
Directly order the troops to open fire and kill them all.
After killing the last batch of Japanese devils.
Zhang Ling's points were fixed at 320 million.
Zhang Ling has never felt that he has so many points that he can't use them all.
It really feels like a local tyrant.
He finally experienced what it was like to be rich.
These 320 million points can fully help Zhang Ling expand the independent division to people.
Then, each warrior can be fully armed from beginning to end.
In addition, artillery regiments, tank regiments and various light and heavy weapons can be added.
By the way, in order to enable the soldiers to have better siege power.
Zhang Ling decided to exchange for the rocket launcher.
However, now is not the time.
After all, it takes professionals to operate these weapons.
If you don't have a professional, it will be useless even if you exchange it.
I don’t know how to operate it.
After killing the last wave of Japanese devils.
The Eighth Route Army Independent Division successfully liberated Taiyuan.
The people of Taiyuan were all excited and took to the streets spontaneously to welcome the Eighth Route Army into the city.
As the people's armed force, the Eighth Route Army has always enjoyed a good reputation in northwestern Shanxi.
That reputation is hundreds of times better than that of the Central Army and the Japanese.
The reputation of the Central Army and the Japanese devils are basically equal.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the saying of “flood, drought and locust soup”.
After the Eighth Route Army Independent Division liberated Taiyuan, the entire northwest Shanxi and most of North China.
Basically all of them were liberated by other units of the Eighth Route Army.
Although the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army joined forces with the Central Army, it also seized some territory.
But in reality, not much.
The Japanese were completely eliminated from northwestern Shanxi.
A small amount of land in North China is still in the hands of the Japanese.
But the Japanese soldiers stationed there were also in a state of constant fear.
Because battle reports may lie, but the battle lines will not.
Although the propaganda department of the Japanese headquarters has tried its best to downplay the failure of the Taiyuan Campaign.
But in fact, the remaining Japanese troops in North China.
It is basically known that the Eighth Route Army's independent divisions are extremely terrifying.
Not only does it have powerful firepower, but the quality of individual soldiers is also extremely high.
Most importantly, the Eighth Route Army Independent Division was very picky about prisoners.
Only technical troops are accepted to surrender, not non-technical troops.
Either you kill him, or he kills you.
If we were facing other troops, the above might still be true.
But according to the descriptions of the hundreds of Japanese deserters who escaped death.
This independent division of the Eighth Route Army is simply a group of evil spirits from hell.
Their firepower is fierce, and their ability to cover the battlefield with artillery fire is extremely terrifying.
Often, tens of thousands of artillery shells would hit the battlefield in an hour.
It seems like the independent division’s artillery shells are free.
In addition, the independent division has many heavy machine gun weapons.
Often in the exchange of fire, the Japanese side had no advantage at all.
It may even happen that the enemy's firepower is so strong that it can directly suppress our side and make it unable to raise its head.
And, according to the description of the surviving Japanese soldiers.
The tank units of the independent division are even more powerful.
Their tanks were armored and could not be penetrated by the Japanese tanks.
The independent division's tanks could easily destroy a Japanese tank with just one shell.
In such a horrible word of mouth.
The remaining Japanese garrison troops in North China were naturally trembling with fear.
There is no way. It would be strange if I wasn't scared.
Who would have thought that just a year ago, the Eighth Route Army was called the beggars' army.
It turns out that he has such terrifying fighting power.
This was completely beyond the understanding of the Japanese, a half-baked industrial country.
Therefore, many of the remaining Japanese troops are now praying in secret.
Either transfer yourself away from Dragon Country, go to Southeast Asia, or even return to your homeland.
Or he would transfer himself to the Kwantung Army.
In short, no matter what, just don't meet this independent division.
Even in the Japanese army, such a legend is circulating.
It's easy to defeat the bandits in the mountains, but don't even think about defeating the Eighth Route Army's Independent Division!
Of course, Zhang Ling didn't know about the psychological changes of the Japanese devils.
Because at this time, the independent division has already become the headlines of newspapers all over the world.
Countless people around the world have learned about this in the far East through newspapers.
A force called the Eighth Route Army Independent Division, with a disadvantageous force of 5, wiped out a force of 55 in one fell swoop.
In addition, a large amount of land was recovered.
Make the enemy tremble at the mention of their names.
The Yan'an authorities basically used up all their efforts to publicize this news.
All the troops of the Eighth Route Army also began to learn the fighting spirit of the Independent Division, as well as the spirit of not fearing death and not fearing hardship.
As for Chongqing.
Chiang Kai-shek was rewarded because of the outstanding performance of the independent division.
I was so angry that I couldn't eat for several days.
Of course, this was when he was alone.
When facing domestic and foreign reporters, Chiang Kai-shek still appeared very excited.
In addition, Chiang Kai-shek sent a direct telegram in the name of the National Government to commend the independent division.
The independent division was also given 10 million French francs as a reward.
When he saw several large boxes of French currency being delivered to Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling looked at Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong who were escorting the French currency.
He also didn't expect that he would see Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong again.
It was when Chiang Kai-shek gave himself French currency.
At this time, Chu Yunfei also admired Zhang Ling very much.
He smiled and ordered the soldiers to put the money boxes full of French currency on the ground.
At the same time, he bowed to Zhang Lingfen and said, "Master Zhang, Chu Yunfei admires you."
"Being able to train such elite soldiers is beyond Chu Yunfei's reach."
"This time, Commander Zhang led 50,000 soldiers from the independent division to recapture most of the land."
"This really shocked Chu Yunfei. I, Chu, have always wanted to compete with Master Zhang."
"But today, I, Chu, finally understand that Commander Zhang is far superior to me, Chu." Chu Yunfei said happily.
Fang Ligong also smiled at Zhang Ling and said, "Commander Zhang, this is the military funds that the chairman ordered Chongqing Finance to allocate to your army."
"Ten million French francs, that's a lot of money."
Hearing Fang Ligong's words, Zhang Ling also said with disdain: "I said Fang Ligong."
"Your Chairman Chang Kaishen, do you think I, Zhang Ling, am the stupid son of a landlord?"
"This... Commander Zhang, where do you come from?" Fang Ligong was a little confused by Zhang Ling's attitude.
I didn't expect that the money I sent would be sent to the wrong place.
But Zhang Ling snorted coldly: "Who the hell doesn't know now."
"This government's legal tender is like ass-wiping paper."
"No, it's too uncomfortable to wipe my butt."
