Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 145 Origin of Hundred Regiments
1940:8 am on August 21, 5.

Although the sun had only risen for half an hour at this time, the combat conference room of the Eighth Route Army headquarters was still very busy, and everyone did not rest all night.

More than a dozen correspondents shuttled back and forth here. They simply summarized the information sent back by each unit, and finally submitted it to the staff in the conference room in written form.

After obtaining these key first-hand information, the staff officers will adjust the symbols representing both the enemy and us according to the real-time battle report.

After a night of raiding operations, many ointment flags on the sand table that belonged to small days have been replaced with small flags of all levels of the Eighth Route Army.

On the wall to the north of the combat conference room, there is a wooden plaque that reads Sweeping the Japanese invaders and returning our mountains and rivers. Just below it is a military map that includes the Zhengtai Railway and its surrounding areas.

At this time, the deputy commander stood there silently with his hands behind his back.

In his eyes, the red and blue arrows on the map that represent the intricate situation of the enemy and the enemy seem to be battles that are erupting.

Although he is very confident in his own strength, and this operation focuses on a surprise attack.But before receiving the official battle report, the experienced commander was still a little worried.

At this moment, Section Chief Wang of the Operations Section of the Front Command walked into the conference room.

The comrade with several positions saw the back of the vice president at a glance, and then walked over with a telegram.Although the other party hadn't turned back yet, Section Chief Wang knew that he was waiting for him to speak.

"A battle report came from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. The battle between Niangziguan and Jingxing Coal Mine has successfully ended! Commander Yang of the Central Column has overfulfilled the task."

"According to the news they sent, professional engineers estimate that the Jingxing Coal Mine will not be able to resume production for at least a year, and the restoration of Niangziguan Station and the pass will also take several months."

"And the new regiment borrowed by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region had an unexpected harvest. In the process of blocking enemy reinforcements, they killed the brigade commander Mizuhara Yoshishige of the Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade."

After hearing these heavy news, even the deputy commander who had seen the storm couldn't help shouting hello.

He turned around and hammered the table on which the sand table was placed, and then said to everyone in the combat conference room:
"It seems that our battle directly stunned Shinozuka Yoshio and Tada Shun. It has been ten hours since the battle started, and they have yet to make an effective counterattack."

"To be honest, I didn't expect that our army's combat effectiveness is already so strong."

"Ding Wei is really good at what he did! Looking at it now, it was a wise choice for me to detain him!"

The deputy chief of staff also smiled. Judging from the results obtained so far, the Eighth Route Army would not lose even if it forcibly terminated the sabotage operation.

However, after thinking about the weaknesses of his opponent and old partner, he cautiously reminded him.

"Tada Toshi is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Maybe he is planning a new round of mopping up now. Next, we may face fierce counterattacks from the enemy."

Just as the two were about to discuss the next response plan, a staff officer ran in from the outside very anxiously, as if he had received some important news.

"Boss! Report on the battle situation! So far, our large-scale raid has begun to bear fruit. According to statistics, the troops destroyed 97 kilometers of Japanese railways, 150 kilometers of roads, and 58 bridges and tunnel stations."

This specific data shocked everyone in the combat conference room, even the vice president and the deputy chief of staff were no exception.

However, the news that can be sent back at this point in time must have been verified by combat troops and intelligence agencies, and it is absolutely impossible to be false.

But many staff officers couldn't figure out one thing, that is, the headquarters only dispatched 22 regiments this time. Such a result is obviously unreasonable.

Even if the fighters are skilled at splitting up, it is impossible to achieve this level.

Under everyone's curious and excited eyes, the staff officer didn't show off, he just turned a page and continued to report.

In the original plan of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, it is true that only 22 regiments will participate in combat missions, but the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

In order to contain the support troops of the devils and buy enough time for the friendly forces, it is also to support and support the big attack on the Zhengtai line.

The three main forces of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the [-]th Division, and the [-]th Division all deployed a large number of troops outside the Zhengtai Line to fight against the devils.

Even troops with spare capacity destroyed roads and railways together, dealing a severe blow to Xiaotian.

Moreover, in order to prevent the shortage of manpower, so that the operation could not achieve the intended effect in the first time, various bases also sent many local troops to participate in the sabotage operation.

After hearing these reports, everyone present laughed from ear to ear.Even the deputy commander-in-chief asked the staff with a smile on his face:

"Then you can do the math for me and see how many regiments we have invested in this traffic attack?"

The staff officer hurriedly took out the notebook and checked it from the beginning, and calculated it carefully. After 1 minute, he got the result, a total of [-] regiments.

Just when he was about to do the calculation again to see if there were any missing units, the deputy commander slapped the table excitedly.

"No matter how many regiments we have! It must not be less than one hundred! It's called the Hundred Regiments War!"

This code name was immediately recognized by everyone present, and with the title of Hundred Regiments War, it would be convenient to expand publicity.

The deputy chief of staff immediately took the vice president to the table next to him, drafted a "Propaganda Work Instructions", and prepared to issue it to each unit under his command.

This kind of victory must be publicized, not only to attack the capitulators, but also to revive the determination of the soldiers and civilians across the country to resist Japan.

Therefore, in addition to fighting, the lower-level troops of the three main forces have a lot of work to do.

First of all, it must be to collect the enemy's military and political documents and trophies. After all, empty words are not enough.In the enemy-occupied areas, the propaganda work of the devils is very good, and the black can be said to be white.

Once there is no reliable evidence, Xiaotian will even bite back and say that the Eighth Route Army is a fake.

The second is to collect heroic deeds in combat, just like the new regiment is very suitable as an object of propaganda.

They are simply representatives of collective heroism, and they are typical examples of comrades who dare to fight, are not afraid of difficulties, and have the courage to sacrifice under the guidance of the principle of collectivism.

The last thing is to take more photos. After all, it is to be published in newspapers. Only with evidence and illustrations can the best results be achieved.

After preparing all this, the headquarters sent the battle report to the rear that afternoon.Considering that the Eighth Route Army is still a fruitless army in name, the vice president also gave the bald man in the southwest a share.

　First send and then change
