太原失陷后的山西战局——八路军进入太行山建立敌后抗日根据地的背景

On the War Situation in Shanxi Province after Taiyuan City Was Occupied by Japanese Army——The Background for The Eighth Route Army Establishing Base Areas behind the Enemy Lines in Mt.Taihangshan

太原失陷后,山西省境内除八路军外,晋军、中央军及其他各路军队甚多,各部继续进行抗日作战,山西战场上绝非八路军一枝独秀。太原失陷时,日军只占领了同蒲路北段、中段和正太路沿线城镇,晋西北、晋南、晋西、晋东南等区大片土地还在中国军队手中,并与后方连接,中日军队仍在正面战线交锋。中国军队与日军作战的主要战场,还是正面战场。那时,八路军一些部队的作战也从属于正面战场。太原失陷后,第二战区即部署各部军队分区游击,军事委员会亦指示第二战区开展游击作战。但第二战区部队除一部分已经转入日军侧后开展游击作战外,多数部队进行的还是运动战,有的是阵地攻防作战。将太原失陷后晋省作战统通归入“晋绥游击战”,似亦非所宜。太原失陷后相当长的时间内,国民政府军抗日作战的重要性远远超出共产党八路军所起的作用。

After Taiyuan City was occupied by Japanese army, there were a large number of Chinese troops fighting with Japanese Army, including Zhongyang Army （central government＇s army）,Jin Army （Shanxi Province＇s army） and other armies. At that time, the main battleground of Chinese army fighting against Japanese army in Shanxi Province was still frontal battleground. Some units of the Eighth Route Army also took part in those battles. In a relatively long time after Taiyuan City was occupied by Japanese army, the main fighting forms of the Chinese army against Japanese army were mobile warfare and positional warfare, besides guerrilla warfare. At the same time, the Nationnal Government＇s army played a more important role in resisting the Japanese army in Shanxi battleground than the Eighth Route Army did.
