After the Eighth Route Army successfully occupied Beiying Village, it used this as a breakthrough point and sent the main force to Pengjiazhuang and Zhoucun Town to make a detour behind Pengjiazhuang and Zhoucun Town, and cooperate with the frontal attacking troops to attack. The Eighth Route Army concentrated its superior forces and stormed Pengjiazhuang from the east, south, and west, and besieged Zhoucun Town from the east, north, and west.

The little devil was caught off guard, and suffered heavy losses under the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army, and was defeated and retreated, coupled with the death of Sato Masao, the devil lost his unified command, and in the face of the fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army, the little devil with heavy losses finally could not withstand the huge pressure, the enemy of Pengjiazhuang was forced to retreat to the north, and the enemy of Zhoukou Town was also defeated to the south, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army successfully captured two places.

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army can be described as a complete victory, not only successfully breaking through the Pinghan railway line and opening a breakthrough channel, but also defeated the Japanese invaders, killing more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers, and killing a group of high-ranking officers such as Major General Sato Masao of the Japanese Army. However, the Eighth Route Army also paid a very heavy price in casualties, but the main force of the Eighth Route Army was preserved, and it successfully withdrew to the base area in western Hebei, preserving its vital strength for the War of Resistance against Japan.

After the end of the battle, Commander Lu immediately ordered all troops to cross the Pinghan Railway and continue to advance westward, so that the last line of defense of the devils was also broken, and the front was almost a horse and a flat river, and the Japanese army was no longer able to stop the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong.

The news soon reached Beiping, and in the headquarters of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, after receiving the news, Gangcun Ningci was immediately furious, pulled out the command knife, and viciously slashed on the sand table.

The devil officers next to him were so frightened that they couldn't help but retreat backwards, and opened a distance from Gangcun Ningci, for fear that Gangcun Ningci would slash them on the head with a knife in anger, and it would be too unjust if they were chopped to death.

After a while, Chief of Staff Anda Twenty-three cautiously spoke: "Your Excellency Commander, this matter is purely accidental, if it weren't for the Eighth Route Army unintentionally interrupting Sato-kun's command, the Imperial Army would definitely not have failed." ”

"That's it!" Gangmura Ningji roared loudly: "I don't want to listen to this useless nonsense anymore! Do you think it was just an accident? I'm telling you that there are no accidents in this world! The surprise you say is nothing but self-deception! ”

"Hello! His Excellency the Commander taught him a lesson, and he was wrong. Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly said.

"Hmph~!" Gangcun Ningci snorted coldly, and then continued: "However, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army this time is indeed very unexpected!" ”

Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly said: "Maybe it was the Imperial Army that pressed too hard, almost forcing these Dirt Eight Roads into a desperate situation, so their potential was stimulated, and such an amazing combat power would burst out." ”

"Yo Xi!" Gangmura Ningji nodded and said, "Maybe that's the case!" We have forced this Tu Balu into a desperate situation, and these Tu Balu are fighting to the death with the belief that they will die. Just like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu back then, he fought against the water, broke the cauldron and sank the boat, and as a result, he won nine battles and nine victories, and achieved a hegemony, I think this should be the only reasonable explanation. Maybe we shouldn't have pressed so hard in the first place, we should have slowly consumed their strength, and then annihilated them in one fell swoop. Just like going out to sea to catch a big fish, you shouldn't be too anxious at this time, because the pulling force is too great, and the rope may be broken, so the big fish will escape, you should slowly consume his strength, and when the big fish is exhausted, then pull him onto the boat. ”

"Your Excellency the Commander is wise!" Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly said.

"Hey!" Gangcun Ningji couldn't help but sigh deeply, and said with a decadent face: "If I were really wise, I should have figured out this truth earlier, and I wouldn't have let these hateful dirt roads escape." ”

Anda Twenty-three hurriedly comforted: "Your Excellency Commander, don't be discouraged, although this time did not wait to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but the Imperial Army has successfully driven the Eighth Route Army out of the central Hebei region, so that the Eighth Route Army has lost an important base area, and it has also lost an important military station, and the Eighth Route Army in the central Hebei region has been purged, which is of great significance to the security of North China, and from a strategic point of view, the Imperial Army has not failed. ”

"Hmm~!" Gangcun Ningci nodded noncommittally and said, "Since they have already left the central Hebei region, they don't want to come back." This is the end of the second stage of the sweep, Andajun immediately prepared for the third phase of the sweep, we must not let the Jizhong region fall into the hands of Tubalu again. ”

Anda Twenty-Three frowned and asked, "Could it be that you just let go of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong?" ”

Gangcun Ningji said angrily: "Do you think you can catch up with the pursuit now?" What's more, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountain area is 50,000 or 60,000 people rushing to meet the main force of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei, and the two Tu Eighth Route Army together have a total strength of more than 100,000 people. ”

"Hello! Humble duty understood. Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly replied.

Subsequently, the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters issued an order, and the Japanese troops participating in the battle stopped the pursuit and rested on the spot. The second phase of the devil's sweep is over, but this sweep is not over yet, because the little devil will carry out the third phase of the sweep next.

Although the main force of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei has successfully broken through, there are still some small units of the Eighth Route Army and some local guerrillas left in the central Hebei region, and these Eighth Route Army remaining in the central Hebei region still pose a great threat to the little devils. The purpose of the third phase of the sweep of Gangcun Ningci was precisely aimed at these small units of the Eighth Route Army left behind, and the purpose of Gangcun Ningci was to completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the central Hebei region, so that the central Hebei region would completely become the rear of the Japanese army.

After the main force of the Eighth Route Army broke through the Pinghan Railway, it went all the way west into the junction of Xingtang County and Quyang County, and successfully met with the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Western Hebei, at this time, after repeated fierce battles, the Eighth Route Army in Hebei was exhausted, and could only temporarily stop to rest, fortunately, the Japanese army did not continue to chase and fight, so that the Eighth Route Army in Hebei could rest with peace of mind, let the soldiers recover their physical strength, and in accordance with the order of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei temporarily withdrew into the Taihang Mountain area, and then make arrangements.

"What do you say? You said you don't want to go to the Jinchaji border area with us? So where do you want to go? Commander Nei Lu of the headquarters glared at Liu Hong and asked loudly, he really couldn't understand what this kid was thinking in his head.
