Xiao Siming didn't know that Shouichi Terauchi actually scolded him as a "-stirring stick!" ”

What Shouyi in the temple wants is to find and destroy Xiao Siming's department, and what Xiao Siming wants is to stir up the Japanese army and make it chaotic; Terauchi Shouichi wanted to eliminate Xiao Siming's troops as soon as possible, and then wave his army to join the battlefield of the Battle of Wuhan, but Xiao Siming wanted to hold Terauchi Shouichi's hands and feet, so that he could not capture Zhengzhou, control the Pinghan Line, and go south along the Pinghan Line to capture Wuhan according to the original plan of the Japanese army; Shouyi in the temple wanted to besiege southern Hebei and central Hebei with heavy troops, but Xiao Siming wanted to lead the Japanese army by the nose and lead the Japanese army to travel in the land of North China until they were dragged into a tired division and a tired soldier!

The two themselves are mortal enemies, and the measures and methods taken are naturally-for-tat!

What Xiao Siming didn't know was that the 21st Division of the Japanese Army arrived at the North China Battlefield ahead of schedule, and the 110th Division of the Japanese Army would also soon go to the North China Battlefield to join the North China Front. Vertex. Fastest updates

In Xiao Siming's mind, the Japanese army increased its troops to North China in history because the 2nd Army of the North China Front was transferred to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, and the Japanese army in North China was too empty. Not only was the 2nd Army transferred to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, but the Japanese North China Garrison Corps stationed in Pingjin and Jinan was also expanded into the 27th Division, and transferred to the 11th Army of the Central China Dispatch Army to join the Battle of Wuhan. Under these circumstances, the Japanese base camp had to transfer the 21st Division, which was announced on April 4, and the 110th Division, which was announced on June 16, to North China. Among them, the 21st Division took over from the 114th Division and was stationed in the Xuzhou area, and the 110th Division was stationed in the Shijiazhuang area.

At this time, the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division were still making waves in North China, and Xiao Siming could not have imagined that the Japanese army would increase its troops in advance!

However, none of this matters, although the Japanese army has increased its troops, compared to such a vast area behind the enemy, the Japanese army is still insufficient, there are defensive loopholes everywhere, and the Eighth Route Army has a lot of room for activity!

In fact, Xiao Siming was looking forward to the continuous expansion of the Japanese army! Because the more little devils come, the more fighters, the more opportunities to capture weapons and equipment and ammunition supplies, and the troops can continue to grow rapidly!

Only when the Japanese army continues to expand and increase its troops can the vitality of Japan be consumed little by little in the war, and finally completely degraded!

Xiao Siming's psychology can be said to be unique among China's anti-Japanese generals!

At this time, the Japanese army was in a period of strategic offensive, with strong ships and artillery, strong soldiers and strong horses, and the existing forces had already made the squadron have no strength to fight back, and lost a large area of land in a battle. The generals were thinking that they were looking forward to a little less Japanese army, and Xiao Siming, who only had a soul crossing, but they were looking forward to the Japanese army constantly expanding and increasing troops!

It seems that not only is Shouyi in the temple ruthless, but Xiao Siming is also not a good stubble. What Terauchi Shouichi wants is to quickly destroy China, and what Xiao Siming wants is to rebirth China through the War of Resistance against Japan and completely knock Little Japan to the ground. The two people have the same idea, but they have different positions and opposite goals!

It's funny to think about it, Xiao Siming is just an 18-year-old hairy young man, originally unknown, and his command is only a brigade-level detachment of several thousand people, and he is really not worthy of being the opponent of the dignified Earl of Imperial Japan, Army General, and Terauchi Shouichi, the commander of the North China Front. But the world is so strange, Terauchi Shouichi regarded Xiao Siming and the eastward advance detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army led by him as opponents, and never forgot it, and would rather affect the process of the Japanese army's Wuhan battle than annihilate Xiao Siming's troops first.

This shows that in Terauchi Shouichi's mind, Xiao Siming, who specializes in inspecting the Japanese army's sore spots and winning successive battles, and the eastward advance detachment have become important factors affecting the overall situation of public security in the areas occupied by the Japanese army!

After evacuating Xinzhaidian, Xiao Siming took the cavalry battalion to change back into the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, galloped on horseback, and went all the way south to catch up with the main force.

At this time, the southern Hebei Plain, the sun is like fire, hot and sultry, the war horse runs for a while, you have to stop to rest, drink water, and the marching speed is not as fast as the night.

When he arrived at the Fuyang River on the ground in Ningjin, Xiao Siming found that there were Japanese motorboats and small gunboats patrolling the Fuyang River.

At this point, Xiao Siming completely understood that the Japanese army had used all its strength to eat milk this time, and it must have been motorboats and small gunboats transferred from Tianjin, and they were flowing up the coastal river, Ziya River, and Fuyang River, blocking the river and strictly preventing the Eighth Route Army from breaking through.

The little devil is really bold! At this time, the east of the Fuyang River has become the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army's base area in southern Hebei, and there are also activities of the Eighth Route Army on the west bank.

As soon as they saw the Japanese army's motorboats and gunboats, and the cavalry battalion commander Liu Zhaoming, instructor Ma Ming, and deputy battalion commander Wu Peng, who were hidden in the reeds by the Fuyang River, their eyes lit up, and they immediately begged Xiao Siming for permission to fight a battle, on the grounds that the cavalry battalion had not destroyed the Japanese army's motorboats and gunboats.

Xiao Siming won't approve it, he wants to conceal the whereabouts of the troops, and it is impossible to lose a big one because of a small one!

Finally waited for the sun to set, and the Japanese motorboats and gunboats in the Fuyang River returned to Hengshui, and Xiao Siming led the cavalry battalion through the Fuyang River Highway Bridge and continued to advance.

At this time, in the southern Hebei base area, due to the convergence of the Ludong Column, the main force of the 129th Division led by Xu Xiangqian, and the eastward advance column of the 129th Division led by Chen Zaidao and Song Renqiang, the situation was very good, and there were no Japanese puppet forces in the hinterland of southern Hebei.

This is a march in the base area in southern Hebei, and the troops are easy to eat and lodge, and they are not worried about the sneak attack of the Japanese puppet army.

Xiao Siming traveled all the way, and saw that the southern Hebei base area was carrying out the practice of clearing the wilderness, and it seemed that he was preparing for the counter-sweep.

Originally, he still wanted to meet Xu Xiangqian, deputy division commander, or Chen Zaidao, Song Renqiang, Liu Zhijian, and them, and saw that the southern Hebei base area had been fully mobilized, Xiao Siming felt that there was no need to see these leaders, but he sent a telegram to Chen Zaidao and them, reminding them that in order to pursue the eastward advance detachment of the 115th Division, and also to combat the vigorous anti-Japanese situation in southern Hebei, Xiao Siming felt that it was likely to launch a heavy siege on the southern Hebei base area.

In the telegram, Xiao Siming also told Chen Zaidao and Song Renqiang of the next battle plan of the eastward advance detachment, and asked them to immediately report to Xu Xiangqian, deputy division commander.

This telegram was supposed to be sent directly to Deputy Division Commander Xu Xiangqian, but Xiao Siming did not have the radio number of Deputy Division Commander Xu Xiangqian, so he could not be contacted, so Chen Zaidao and Song Renqiang could only report on their behalf.

What Xiao Siming didn't expect was that when he arrived at Julu County, in the quiet night, a group of people were waiting on the side of the road, and Xu Xiangqian, deputy commander of the 129th Division, was personally waiting on the side of the road outside the city.

Xiao Siming hurriedly rolled off the saddle, walked forward quickly, and saluted and reported to Deputy Division Commander Xu.

Xu Xiangqian had never seen Xiao Siming in the past, and it was impossible for the two of them to have any intersection, this was the first time they met.

Seeing that Xiao Siming was thin and tall, with a vigorous face, Xu Xiangqian said: "I can't imagine that Xiao Siming, who makes it difficult for the little devil to sleep, is really a baby general!" ”

Xiao Siming smiled silently and replied.

It may have been expected that Xiao Siming was in a hurry to leave, and the comrades in southern Hebei put the food and tea in wooden barrels and put them on the side of the road, so that the cavalry battalion could eat a bite so that they could continue to hurry.

Xiao Siming was not polite, filled a big bowl of noodles, took two steamed buns in his hand, and ate them in front of Xu Xiangqian.

After eating a bowl of noodles and two steamed buns, Xiao Siming served another bowl of noodles, and after eating, he shook a bowl of herbal tea with Huai rice, squatted down, and reported to Xu Xiangqian while drinking.

Xu Xiangqian met with Fan Zhuxian, the banner of the Anti-Japanese War in northwest Shandong, in Weixian on the 14th, and discussed with Fan Zhuxian the issues of joint defense, exchange of intelligence, and cooperation in operations between Hebei and Shandong, which was equivalent to establishing a united front with Fan Zhuxian's department. The heavy Japanese army pressed towards Shijiazhuang, and Xu Xiangqian had to rush back to Julu to lead the counter-sweep. Because the Japanese army independently mixed into the 3rd Brigade, followed behind the butt of the 5th Division and the 16th Division, inserted in the direction of Linqing and Liaocheng, established a blockade line, and blocked the passage for Xiao Siming's troops to retreat eastward.

Xu Xiangqian was anxious to understand the situation of the Battle of Shijiazhuang, and even more anxious to understand the movements of the Fifth and Sixteenth Divisions of the Japanese Army, and listened very carefully to Xiao Siming's report, and asked a question from time to time.

Encountering a military master like Xu Xiangqian is also an opportunity for Xiao Siming to seek advice and learn.

Needless to say, Xiao Siming's advantages are that he is a soul traveler, familiar with the history of the Anti-Japanese War, and before the crossing, he was a special operations elite and a training staff officer who attended the command college, and his strategic vision and tactical thinking were advanced and second to none at this time. However, the two bosses of the Eighth Route Army and the division commanders of several main divisions all fought out of blood and fire, and formed their own military ideas in actual combat. When Xiao Siming studied at the Shijiazhuang Army Command College before his soul crossed, the essence of military thought he learned was the crystallization of the military thinking of these predecessors.

Xiao Siming, who has studied military history intensively, knows that the thin deputy division commander Xu in front of him is an absolute patriarch in the history of our army, with both wisdom and courage, and is not only good at commanding guerrilla warfare, but also good at commanding large corps operations, and even better at training troops. During the Liberation War in history, Yan Xishan and his Jin Sui army were planted in the hands of the thin deputy division commander Xu in front of him.

Because he was familiar with Xu Xiangqian's history, Xiao Siming's attitude was very serious when he reported, he didn't speak with a dirty word, and he looked gentle and elegant, which was completely different from people from the army who liked to use foul language, and Xu Xiangqian nodded secretly.

After Xiao Siming's report, Xu pondered for a while, and then said: "It seems that whether or not you can avoid the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army in the southern Hebei base area depends on whether your eastward advance detachment will fight well in the next step!" If you fight well and really bite the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, maybe the Japanese army is eager to rescue and encircle you, so they will go south to Handan along the Jinpu Road, and then turn from Handan to the Zhanghe River. Because if the Japanese army wants to pass through the hinterland of southern Hebei, it will encounter the blocking and harassment of the southern Hebei team, which will affect their marching speed! ”

Xiao Siming nodded yes!

Xu Xiangqian didn't say anything more, and told Xiao Siming that he should fight hard and withdraw quickly like the Battle of Luokou and Shijiazhuang, and retreat before the Japanese army encircled him, and he must not let people surround him. That's dangerous! (To be continued.) )
