As the political commissar, Zhao Wenzhou did not object, and Zhang Yunfei could implement it according to his plan.

The troops started from Changyu and swept all the way to the south, which used to be garrisoned by the devil's army, and as a military area, it was natural that there would be no such thing as a gun tower.

The turret can only defend against armed forces without heavy weapons, and it is naturally useless in the face of the Central Army with artillery.

Therefore, most of the fortifications of the Japanese puppet army in these two counties are not complete, and many of them are trenches and barbed wire, plus ordinary construction fortifications.

In many places, the pillboxes and turrets have not been built or only half built, there are no strong fortifications, and the strongholds of the Japanese puppet army, which are not much troops to fight, are easy to attack.

The devil's forces are seriously insufficient in the areas occupied by the devils, and now the devils are sweeping the major base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

In the area where the two counties that completely defeated and annihilated the local defenders in the past, the devils naturally would not waste too many troops to garrison.

The devil's strength is insufficient, and the puppet army has always been a fox and a fake tiger, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, without the strong pillbox turret fortifications, in the face of the attack of the new ninth regiment, these puppet troops will wilt directly.

According to Zhang Yunfei's request, the troops directly abandoned some important strongholds with complete fortifications and attacked most of the secondary strongholds defended by the puppet army that the devils had not taken into account for a while.

In just half a day, the New Ninth Regiment, which was divided into three routes, pulled out more than ten strongholds of the Japanese puppet army in Xiangyuan and northern Huaide in one go.

And the three troops cooperated with each other, and also ambushed a reinforcement of the Japanese puppet army, annihilated more than 10 devils, and captured more than 100 puppet troops.

More than 200 rifles, one crooked handle, more than 10 shell guns, and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition were seized.

In this operation, the new ninth regiment swept away most of the strongholds close to Changyu, Huaide because of the distance is a little far, and there is a river block, Zhang Yunfei is fighting a quick battle, so only a small part of Huaide is affected.

By the time the devil reacted and went out of the city for reinforcements, the New Ninth Regiment had already taken the spoils of war and quickly headed north.

Zhang Yunfei's hand made Xiangyuan's devil garrison captain Yoshida Masanobu very angry, and threw the teacup in his hand out angrily and smashed it on the blue brick wall.

Then he looked at the fragments of the torn teacup, and began to feel distressed again, this is the local squire who honored him, saying that it was an antique of many years, and it was worth a lot of money.

He only slightly mourned the teacup that had been shattered, and he was now more concerned about the enemy who had invaded his defense zone than money.

Your Excellency, the new commander, when he inspected the various places, repeatedly emphasized the strengthening of law and order, and he wanted to create a prosperous and stable area of control.

He was only a small garrison captain, and he didn't even have the opportunity to meet the commander, but the so-called good at the top must be very bad at the bottom, and now the whole of North China is implementing the strengthening of public security.

Whoever has poor law and order in the defense area means that the work has not been done well and is a dereliction of duty.

At such a critical moment, if something happens in my own place, if it is set up as a negative example, where will this face go.

What made him even more angry was that the joint encirclement and suppression operation he sent to the surrounding areas was rejected, especially the reply from the Xincheng side, saying that there was no sign of enemy activity in their territory, and that the troops would block all the main roads and strictly prevent the infiltration of the Eighth Road, and there was no way to cooperate with their actions.

This is simply a nonsense story, the Qinghe River flows from west to east, flows through Pingchuan and then turns southeast, flows into Xiangyuan from the junction of Xincheng and Jianyang, passes through the northeast corner of Xiangyuan, and then enters the territory of Huaide.

In other words, the Qinghe River is equivalent to the boundary river between Xincheng and Jianyang, and the Zhina army obviously came from the direction of Xincheng, if it was from the direction of Jianyang, the main attack was Huaide and not himself.

The guys in Xincheng are thick-faced and push the responsibility cleanly, how can Yoshida Masanobu not be angry, but he can only be angry, although the defenders of Xincheng are very close to him, they belong to two garrison divisions, so there is nothing to talk about.

Fighting with the mouth will only make things bigger, and if you stab it, he can only suffer the loss, because he doesn't want to make a big fuss, so Xincheng doesn't cooperate, and he really can't do anything about it.

He had no choice but to ask for help from the direction of Huaide, but he was also closed, and Huaide only attacked a few strongholds near Xiangyuan, and the losses were not large.

Now that the Imperial Army is sweeping up, their garrison force is at its weakest, and what they need is stability in the rear, and it is not appropriate to make any major moves.

Because of Yoshida's huge losses, he had to retaliate even for the sake of face, but Huaide did not have such a need.

This kind of purely retaliatory military action, the commander of the Huaide side, Uno Motora, naturally did not want to participate.

Objectively speaking, he does not agree with Yoshida Masanobu's inference, is the Shina Army really from Xinshi?

It's really not necessarily, the Qinghe River is not the Yellow River, it's summer, and it's not difficult to swim across, some shallow river sections are easy to swim across.

The movements of this group of Chinese troops are unknown, and they ask Xincheng to cooperate in an accusatory tone, so it is strange that people will ignore him.

Moreover, the situation of Huaide is similar to that of Xiangyuan, the strongholds and fortifications in various places are not perfect, and in order to cooperate with the sweep of the main force, most of the garrison troops have been withdrawn itself, and the troops are seriously insufficient.

As the captain of Huaide's garrison, he first has to ensure Huaide's safety and prevent the enemy from infiltrating and causing any bad effects.

Uno Motora had already ordered the shrinkage of troops and defensive lines to defend key areas to prevent them from being broken by others, so naturally he had no time to participate in Yoshida Masanobu's retaliation.

Zhang Yunfei swept to the Japanese puppet army strongholds in the northern part of the original and the western part of Huaide, destroying most of the Japanese puppet army strongholds here.

He shot and arrested a large number of hypocrites who had done many evils, and deterred the local traitor organizations, and the purpose of his actions was basically achieved.

Naturally, he will not attack in the direction of Huaide again, he is just to catch the enemy by surprise, and it is a hammer deal in itself.

When the Japanese puppet army was prepared, it lost its suddenness, and now what they have to do is to deal with the devil's retaliation.

However, from the information received from all sides, Zhang Yunfei's heart sank a little, and his original intention was to mobilize and contain the enemy's forces.

But now the situation is not optimistic, except for the accident of the original Japanese puppet army, Xincheng, Jianyang's Japanese puppet army is all stationary.

Instead, the Japanese puppet army in Waide began to shrink and retreat, concentrating their forces to defend important strongholds and towns.

This is a bit difficult to do, the devil is no longer as arrogant as before, just a little, and now he has learned to judge the situation.

Hey, the little devil is getting more and more difficult to deal with, the sane devil is not a good devil, it seems that the fire he lit is not strong enough, and he has to add another fire to it.
