Soon, more than half a month passed in a hurry.

The large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army by the Japanese devils came to an end, and the devils from all walks of life began to retreat one after another.

The remnants of the Second Regiment of the Appeasement Army who participated in the sweep returned to Guhuai under the leadership of Li Yonghe, and when Feng Tiandong learned about it, he immediately rushed to the station of the Second Regiment and walked into the regiment headquarters.

There was a fragrance in the room, Li Yonghe was munching on a roast chicken, Feng Tiandong stepped forward and looked Li Yonghe up and down carefully, and asked with concern: "Brother Li, are you not hurt?" ”

"I'm fine, I just can't eat well. However, the losses of Lao Tzu's troops were not small, and many of his brothers were captured by the Eighth Route Army. Li Yonghe still had his usual loud voice, chewing something in his mouth, and said angrily.

"You haven't eaten for a few days, eat slowly, and I'll invite you to Yanchun Tower for a donkey meat feast." Feng Tiandong saw that Li Yonghe looked like a starving ghost, eating too fast and choking, so he poured him a glass of water.

"This sweep is so wretched, I didn't even see the shadow of the eight, but I was ambushed a few times, and as a result, it ended like this." Li Yonghe threw the chicken bone in his hand to the side and said unabashedly.

When it comes to sweeping, Li Yonghe is angry and does not fight anywhere, not to mention the loss of his subordinates, but to say that the attitude of the Japanese army towards the appeasement army is simply unacceptable, and the marching army carries supplies, enters the villages to run mines, camps and starves, and completely treats them as cannon fodder.

Li Yonghe continued to vent his dissatisfaction loudly and angrily: "The supplies can't keep up, the ammunition is not enough, the food is close to the Japanese soldiers first, and Lao Tzu's brothers are so miserable that they are all fucking hungry." ”

Feng Tiandong kept comforting Li Yonghe on the surface, but in his heart he was saying: You are originally cannon fodder.

Next, Li Yonghe told Feng Tiandong what he knew about the sweep.

With Li Yonghe's narration, Feng Tiandong gradually understood and knew how the Eighth Route Army dealt with this large-scale sweep of the devils.

Since the beginning of the devil's sweep, the main forces of the Eighth Route Army have all moved to the outer line, and before the Japanese army arrived at the base area, it had already jumped out of the encirclement.

After the transfer of the main force, some local troops were left behind to first help evacuate the masses and clear the wilderness, and then cover a large number of ordinary people in the base areas to hide in the mountains, in case the Japanese devils could not find the Eighth Route Army and vent their anger on the common people.

Since there was no main force to surround the Eighth Route Army, and there were no ordinary people in sight, the devil's Fifth Route Army was like a blind and deaf man, scurrying around in a no-man's base.

Although there were traitor intelligence officers developed by the detective team to cooperate with the Japanese army's actions, because the Eighth Route Army had already taken precautions and acted quickly and covertly, these intelligence officers were also confused.

Many of these intelligence officers were discovered and sanctioned by the Eighth Road, and the rest did not dare to carry out large-scale activities, and they could not provide any valuable information at all, which made the Japanese army extremely dissatisfied with the special high school and the detective team.

If there is reliable intelligence to help the Japanese devils find the main force of the Eighth Route Army and surround them, with the combat strength of the Japanese army, they will definitely be able to destroy the Eighth Route Army.

It is a pity that the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, before the Japanese began to attack, either jumped out of the encirclement, or were broken into pieces, and all disappeared.

The Japanese army only grabbed the tail of a very small number of local guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and fought a few battles without itching. These local troops were mainly to cover the transfer of civilians, and their movements were slower.

On the contrary, the various transport teams of the devils were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army from time to time, and the materials were either looted or destroyed. As a result, the Japanese puppet army set out from Guhuai has always been in a state of serious shortage of supplies and ammunition, and had to withdraw and sweep in advance.

Because the Eighth Route Army received the information sent by Feng Tiandong in advance about the Japanese army's sweep, it had insight into the deployment of the devil's troops, and the main force jumped out of the encirclement in time.

The civilians in the base areas also took refuge in the mountains with the help of local troops. Hiding in the mountains, although the conditions are difficult and they are far from their homes, the safety of the people is guaranteed.

However, the base area was seriously damaged by the Japanese army, and a very small part of the materials that were not fortified and cleared were all looted, and the Japanese troops could not take them away or were useless to them, and they were all burned or destroyed.

All the houses in the base area were burned, and the devil thought that even if the Eighth Route Army came back, it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold.

With Li Yonghe's successive introductions, Feng Tiandong was completely relieved.

As long as the main force of the Eighth Route Army is safe and the people in the base areas are safe, this is the greatest victory. Damage to the house is nothing, as long as there are people, nothing is a problem.

Feng Tiandong's heavy worries when he came from here have turned into happy and excited now, and he must take Li Yonghe to the "Yanchun Building" to eat donkey meat.

Li Yonghe couldn't help it, and took the senior officers of the second regiment to follow Feng Tiandong to the "Yanchun Building" restaurant.

These people sat in the private room of the "Yanchun Building", like hungry wolves, they didn't care about drinking, they just ate meat with their heads bored, so that the restaurant guys kept serving meat to the table frequently.

After about half an hour, the meat eating finally came to an end, and there was a donkey meat pad in the stomach, only then did they notice the wine glasses on the side, and began to stagger, shouting five and drinking six, and it became lively, and they did not forget that Feng Tiandong was inviting them to dinner, and they began to toast one by one.

Feng Tiandong did not refuse to come, and the wine was dry. During the staggered cups, Feng Tiandong's relationship with these officers deepened more and more, and at the same time, they also felt the boldness of the little brother of the regiment commander.

Everyone had a good meal, and returned to the station dizzily.

The sweep was over, the various departments returned, and Gu Huai was in a state of chaos.

A large number of wounded soldiers were transported back, requiring a large number of medical personnel, a large number of troops, and a large amount of supplies. All of these need to be deployed by Gu Huai, and the Japanese army headquarters and the Gu Huai city government are all in a hurry.

Feng Tiandong frequently interspersed between the Japanese army headquarters, the secret service and the Guhuai City Office, handing over and liaison.

At this time, no one expected that Gu Huai Xinmin would jump out, and they used various means to hype up the victory of this imperial army's sweep.

The Xinmin Society used several newspapers under their control to report on the glorious achievements of the Imperial Army, and even sent out a call to celebrate the victory.

In addition to organizing its members to celebrate on the streets, the newly established Xinmin Youth League also distributed leaflets, organized speeches, and led some citizens to the Japanese military barracks to express their condolences to the troops participating in the war.

Members of the academy also took to the streets to participate in the parade to welcome the victorious return of the imperial army.

The activities carried out by the Xinmin Association made Gu Huai present a scene of celebration of victory.

Ma Tao remembered Feng Tiandong's reminder that the better and more vigorous the Guhuai Xinmin Society, the higher his status in the eyes of the Japanese, the more important it will be in the eyes of Beiping Xinmin and Zong, the easier it will be for his "Xinmin Trading Company" to make money, and the more his pocket will bulge.

These are all dreams for Ma Tao, who is an official fan and a wealth fan. He is using various means to highlight the achievements of the Xinmin Association and highlight his contributions.

Sure enough, the Guhuai secret service spoke highly of the series of actions of the Guhuai Xinmin Association, and Ishikawa Ichiro specially summoned Ma Tao to praise him.

Zhang Yanqing also sent a special call to raise the Guhuai Xinmin Association.

On the surface, Gu Huai is celebrating victory everywhere. However, the Japanese know exactly what the outcome of this sweep will be.

The 110th Division of the Japanese Army was a field unit sitting in the areas of Guhuai and Shimen, and the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Kuwamu Chongming, was extremely dissatisfied with the sweeping process.

He specially submitted a report to the headquarters of the North China Front Army in Beiping, giving a detailed report on the process of the sweep and severely criticizing the performance of Gu Huai's army.

Sangmu Chongming believes that it was Gu Huai who dragged the entire sweep back. The arsenal was bombed in the front, and the transport team was frequently attacked, so that the army of Guhuai has been counterproductive.

He completely put the responsibility for the failure of the sweep on Gu Huai.
