In the early morning of the next day, it was already the third day of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters launching a campaign to sabotage the Japanese Zhengtai Railway.

Kimuraichi thinks that he is just playing a cat and mouse game with the dirt hachi people of Shiyuan Mountain, and these mice are a little unexpected to him, and even a little trick on his cat.

Because no matter what, in Kimuraichi's opinion, the mouse can never escape the cat's palm, and he is convinced of this.

However, what he didn't know was that just when he was self-righteous, the situation on the entire battlefield and even in Huaxia was quietly changing.

And this change is exactly according to the trajectory predicted by Han Xin:

The Eighth Route Army dispatched six regiments of nearly 10,000 troops to attack Yangquan directly, and the commander of the Japanese brigade stationed in Yangquan, Kimura, did not return to Shiyuan Mountain, and Yangquan changed hands after three hours and was controlled by the Eighth Route Army.

Then the Japanese army headquarters sent troops to Yangquan, intending to retake Yangquan County in one fell swoop, and at the same time, the Japanese troops in Pingding and Liaoxian were also all dispatched, and the target was Yangquan.

However, what is surprising is that Yangquan's Eighth Route Army withdrew ahead of schedule when the devil reinforcements arrived, and after the devil reinforcements recaptured Yangquan in a stunned state, the six Eighth Route Regiments that had withdrawn from Yangquan surrounded Yangquan according to Han Xin's original explanation.

Besiege but not attack, the devil reinforcements in Yangquan are few, just one of the reinforcements from all walks of life, naturally not the opponent of Zheng Li and others, looking at the eight roads outside the county that surrounded them again and may attack the city at any time, the little devil was even more crazy to ask for help.

However, to the surprise of the Japanese army and the national army, just when reinforcements from all sides of the devil were coming, the recuperated Eighth Route Army finally showed the world its strength that was not what it used to be.

All the devil reinforcements, in the direction of the seventh and eighth routes, were all intercepted by the troops wearing the earth-gray Eighth Route military uniforms that came out of nowhere.

The devils attacked frantically, but they were also desperately resisted by these eight-way teams, coupled with the huge advantage of these eight-way teams in numbers, the little devils' reinforcements were blocked one after another, and they couldn't break through at all.

And the above situation is far more than that, this time the situation seems to be completely more than a little change, first around the great change in the direction of Yangquan, and then the great change spread, and soon spread to the entire Jinchaji base area where the Eighth Route Army is located.

……

At this point, the Japanese army was stationed in the temporary joint supreme command post of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the commander of the Japanese division, Naito Shoichi, was completely messy in the wind.

Earlier, judging through the actions and intelligence of the Eighth Route Army, he thought that the Eighth Route Army wanted to sabotage the Japanese army's railway transportation in order to break the "cage policy" set by Japan, so he didn't pay much attention to it at that time, and left this kind of petty fight of the Eighth Route Army to his subordinates.

According to relevant information, since the great change in the situation in Yangquan, the Eighth Route Army suddenly emerged a large number of troops, and fought simultaneously on the Zhengtai Railway, Tongpu, Pinghan, Bac Ninh, and Deshi.

The Eighth Route Army came with the general trend, and it seemed that it was going to wrestle with the Japanese army and have an offensive battle.

"What is the Eighth Route Army up to in mind?" Naito Shoichi has a headache, fighting with Chinese soldiers, although the opponent's equipment and tactics are very backward, but there is one, China's slightly more famous generals are extremely cunning, and fighting against such an enemy is undoubtedly a very brain-burning thing.

Next to Naito Shoichi stood the commanders of the other two divisions of the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi and Hebei, and one of them did not seem to take the urgent situation of the moment to heart, but analyzed the overall situation: "Now that Japan's policy toward China has changed, and our politicians are also trying to lure the fruit party, we are at a critical moment.

Once we succeed, we will be able to take most of China without bloodshed.

However, it is clear that the Eighth Route Army will absolutely not sit idly by and ignore this situation, and they who want to hate us have always been part of the main battle faction among the Chinese soldiers, and now it seems that they want to change this situation through a huge battle, directly use actions to end the compromise of the Chinese capitulation faction, and arouse the fighting spirit of the Chinese to resist our great Japan. ”

"Hmph, if we don't measure ourselves, then we will completely eliminate them, and also sound the alarm for all Chinese who dare to resist us." Naito Shoichi agreed with the other party's analysis, and immediately said with a cold face.

…… And just when the devils were actively preparing for war and preparing to deal with the offensive counterattack of the Eighth Route Army, the battle of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was in full swing but did not stop at all.

In accordance with the requirements of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region vigorously attacked the section from Shijiazhuang to Yangquan on the Zhengtai Railway; The 129th Division broke the section from Yangquan to Yuci on the Zhengtai Railway; The 120th Division attacked the Tongpu Railway and the Yangshi Highway north of Xinxian County.

And due to the fuse of the Yangquan accident, on the third day of the start of the breaking battle.

Command Room of the Headquarters of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army:

"Mr. Peng, good guys, the whole situation is crazy, and the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the comrades in the war of resistance are even more than we expected, and the breaking battle is on the third day today, according to preliminary statistics, so far, the participating troops have reached 105 regiments." Before the commissar entered the door, the voice had already come in advance.

"So many, it's really beyond our previous estimate of 22 regiments! It's a battle of 100 regiments! Zuo Quan, deputy chief of the general staff, heard the sound and said with a smile.

Peng Dehuai, who was studying the map on the side, heard this, his expression moved, and finally made a final decision: "It doesn't matter how many regiments he has, just call the battle of 100 regiments!" ”

"The Battle of the Hundred Regiments, good! It's called the Battle of the Hundred Regiments! Zuo Quan and the political commissar said excitedly.

Peng Dehuai took his eyes off the map at this time, but the fingers of his right hand were always pressed on one part of the map, straightened up and said, "Zuo Quan, do you know the reason for the sudden change in the situation this time?" ”

"What does Mr. Peng mean? According to our speculation, isn't it because the devil's cage policy has pressed the comrades for too long, so the comrades have long wanted to fight back against the enemy, so they are enthusiastic about this battle of the hundred regiments? Zuo Quan was stunned for a moment.

Peng Dehuai smiled, then removed the point that his finger was holding, and quipped: "Brother Zuo Quan, you are a top student in the first phase of Huangpu, you can't be kept in the dark by this kid!" Ha ha! ”

When Zuo Quan heard this, he looked at it, and the word Yangquan instantly poured into his mind, Zuo Quan was naturally not a mediocre person, and quickly thought of various factors, and then said in shock: "This is the fuse!" ”

"Haha, there is a hidden initiator under this fuse!" Peng Dehuai laughed, and Zuo Quan laughed, but no one said it explicitly.

The battle of 100 regiments has become an inevitable trend, but who can say for sure what the result will be.

General Peng Dehuai thinks that he is the commander-in-chief, and of course he will not pass the responsibility on to others, and he does not care about anything because of his foresight, but mutters in his heart:

"Han Xin, you kid let it go! What's the matter, Lao Tzu will carry it for you! ”
