The battle of the 6th Cavalry Wing of the 6th Cavalry Regiment of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army opened the prelude to Liu Yimin's strategic concept of fighting in the south and pulling in the north, mobilizing devils, exhausting devils, and consuming devils.

The ambush site chosen by Wu Meng and Xu Dexian was not far from Fu Liji, and Dagai was only twelve or three miles away. If the road is clear, the car can arrive in less than twenty minutes, and the ping soldier can arrive when he is xiǎo. But now that it is covered with snow, the speed of Xiǎo devil's reinforcements is much slower, and when the reinforcements of the Sixth Division arrive at the battlefield, they can only collect the corpse of Inoki Jindazuo.

Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba, the commander of the Sixth Division, had the attitude of letting the Sixth Cavalry Wing test the reality of the Eighth Route Army, and did not strictly stop Inogi's retaliatory pursuit, and as a result, the Sixth Cavalry Wing was sent into the pocket of the Eighth Route Army in vain. Inaba Shiro couldn't understand why the Eighth Route Army was so bold and dared to eat in the tiger's mouth, in front of the Sixth Division and the Sixteenth Division, the Sixth Wing of the Cavalry! Could it be that Liu Yi's main force is really on the ground in this county? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army is going to deal with itself again like it did with the 14th Division? He sent a telegram to the commander of the North China Front, Sugi Moto, and the commander of the 12th Army, Iida Sadagu, asking them to urge the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Divisions led by Naosaburo Gangbe to quickly move south and attack Suxian together with the 6th and 16th Divisions, so as to prevent the 6th and 16th Divisions from standing out alone and falling into the trap of the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving Shiro Inaba's report, Shanshan Yuan, commander of the North China Front, "was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, what was going on, the dignified Sixth Division was indifferent to watching its cavalry wing being annihilated, and blindly urging the follow-up troops to follow up. Is this still the Sixth Division of the Imperial Army?

Shanshan Yuan was about to send a report to Inaba Shiro, but Chief of Staff Yamashita Fumimi reminded him that Liu Yimin was the best at field battles, night battles, and quick battles, and that no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division and the 10th Abandoned Division was strong, they could not withstand the concentrated attack of more than a dozen artillery regiments.

Only then did Shanshan Yuan remember that he had reiterated to all the troops that he would strictly abide by the ban on the battle between General Terauchi Shouichi and the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, so he had to send a report to Inaba Shiro, asking him to strictly defend his position, be cautious, and never fall into Liu Yimin's trap, and then urged the Gangbu Naosaburo to speed up the march after dawn and quickly join forces with the Sixth Division and the Sixteenth Division.

After receiving the telegram from Sugi Sugimoto, Inaba Shiro found a basis for himself not to pursue overnight, and ordered all troops to urgently prepare for war, and strictly guard against the night attack of the Eighth Route Army. Inaba Shiro's deployment should be very timely and effective, the problem is that the Eighth Route Army did not listen to his command, Wu Meng and Xu Dexian led the main force of the regiment to withdraw, but the Ninth Cavalry Battalion hidden near Fuliji did not withdraw, after they completed the task of leading the Sixth Wing of the Yòu Cavalry to the south, they began to attack and harass operations at night.

The soldiers of the 6th and 16th Divisions spent the night in fear. By the time it was dawn, the xiǎo devils had finally come out of the nightmare, but none of them had been picked up, and they were like good eggplants that had been frozen and soft. Inaba Shiro looked at the troops without jīng, sighed, and had to order the troops to seize the opportunity that the Eighth Route Army would not take the initiative to attack during the day and rest for the morning.

At noon, the troops sent out to search and reconnoitre all came back one after another to report, "The Eighth Route Army is sticking to the county seat of Suxian, which makes Inaba Shiro very moved, and he can finally meet the instructor face to face." He immediately consulted with Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie, who had succeeded Nakajima Imago as the commander of the 16th Division, to make every effort to besiege the county seat of Suxian and gather and annihilate the Eighth Route Army that was firmly defending the county seat of Suxian.

This military army is very particular about its background, not only to see whether it is a graduate of Lu University, but also to see whether it is a faction. Vice Admiral Keisuke Fujie accounted for both of these two things, he graduated from Lu Dawan, and married the NV of Kantaro Suzuki, the first veteran of the Navy, which is difficult to think of without such conditions.

Keisuke Fujie studied artillery at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and later served in the Japanese artillery unit, where he was very good at artillery warfare. Shiro Inaba consulted with him, and he found the right person.

Fujie Keisuke advocated learning from Liu Yimin, concentrating on the use of artillery fire, and breaking the city in one fell swoop.

At this time, the division of labor between Inaba Shiro and Fujie Keisuke was clear, with Inaba Shiro commanding the 6th Division and the 16th Division to attack the city, and Fujie Keisuke was responsible for commanding the two artillery wings of the 6th Division and the 16th Division to provide fire cover for the siege troops.

According to this line of thought, the staff officers of the two divisions quickly drew up battle plans, and the 6th and 16th divisions of the Japanese army rushed to the county seat of Suxian with great momentum.

At this time, the Gangbu Naosaburo group, that is, the first, second, and fifth divisions of the Japanese army, which was moving south from Dangshan, moved south along the Henan-Anhui border, and the forward finally rushed to the area between Suxian and Suixi, and the situation of the Japanese army's two armies encircling Suxian had been completed.

At this time, Inaba Shiro's martial jīng god was manifested, and his command ability was also reflected, in addition to the 30th Infantry Brigade of the 16th Division serving as the garrison task of the supply line from Xuzhou to Suxian Jiāotong, he used the remaining three infantry brigades of the two divisions and began to encircle Suxian on all sides With the order of Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie, two artillery wings of the Japanese army began to bombard the city wall of Suxian County until the city was blown open and the city wall was blown up a few gaps, The Japanese infantry attacked under the cover of tanks.

To the surprise of Shiro Inaba and Keisuke Fujie, the county seat of Suxian turned out to be an empty city! At this time, Shiro Inaba couldn't control it, and stood on the wall of Suxian County and looked at the scarecrow wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army who was blown to pieces, scolding all the curses in Japanese he could think of.

Fujie Keisuke reminded Inaba Shiro that he should report to the North China Front Headquarters and the Twelfth Army Headquarters, and in any case, the successful recovery of Suxian would be a great achievement. Shiro Inaba was annoyed when he heard it, and pointed at Keisuke Fujie's nose and roared: "Baga! What's the big deal? It's clear that we fell for Liu Yimin again! In the ice and snow, the soldiers traveled long distances in order to completely eliminate Liu Yi's main force. Like now, he is always led by Liu Yimin's nose, and he drags down the troops just by running away, how can he fight? Fujie Keisuke also felt the same way in his heart, knowing that Inaba Shiro was angry with the Eighth Route Army, so he ignored him, and went down the city wall "to the county government of Su County, and then walked to the county government and began to report the victory to Sugi Sugimoto and Iida Sadagu.

Shanshan Yuan couldn't imagine that he was so capable, and in a short period of time, he not only recovered Jiaoji Road and opened up Jinpu Road, but also thwarted the Eighth Route Army's attempt to encircle and annihilate the eastern Henan team, and now he has successfully recovered Suxian. This great feats should be known to the world. Isn't there an old saying in China: "What is the brocade costume night walk?"

Liu Yimin will make a year-end speech, and Shanshan Yuan will too. This old devil usually looks soft and collapsed, often at both ends of the head of the rat, and at this time, the head of the jīng god came, and he even made a speech at the end of the year in Beiping.

Shanshanyuan said in the conversation that after a year and a half of hard work since the start of the war, the Japanese army has captured parts of North, Central and South China, and the first team of the Commander of the Eighth Route Army, known as the Chinese god of war, has become a defeated general under the imperial army, and has retreated again and again in the face of the imperial army's attack. First, he lost the counties along the Jiaoji Road, then lost the northwest of Shandong, Jinan and Tai'an, and then simply flowed to the north of Anhui. In the past, there was Han Fuqu, and now there is Liu Yimin, "both of them are holding heavy troops, and they are both shocked and collapsed, and they retreat thousands of miles. Han Fuqu was shot dead by the annoyed and angry **, and Liu Yimin's situation is probably not good, maybe ** is already planning how to arrest Liu Yimin and shoot Liu Yimin without blood.

Shanshanyuan is worthy of being a giant of the Japanese army, and he analyzes the situation at the head of the way. He went on to analyze that "China and Japan are separated by a strip of water, and their cultures are of the same origin, and the Great East Asian Holy War is to resist the colonial aggression of European powers against Asia," so that Asians have the right to decide on Asian affairs. China has been weak for a long time, and its politics, economy, military, and foreign affairs have all been invaded by European powers. For the purpose of supporting and helping China, "I support Mr. Nakayama to launch a national grass, and without the support of Japan, ** and its predecessor Alliance, the League, would not be the opponent of the Manchus at all, and I am afraid that it would have been eliminated long ago." **The reason why it was able to stand out among the many warlords in China and complete the Northern Expedition is inseparable from the strong support of Japan. The military advisers sent by the Japanese were always by the side of ** from beginning to end to guide and assist ** in completing the Northern Expedition. However, after marrying, he did not want to repay his kindness, but threw himself into the arms of the European and American powers, deliberately alienated Japan, and infringed on Japan's interests in China, which led to the deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations. Not to mention, it was the product of the Soviet Union's export of red grass to the world, with the aim of reddening Asia and bringing Asians under Soviet control. The reason why people are not popular with the people in China, and why the people used to support beating people, is because the people of China know very well that if that set succeeds, the Confucianism and Taoism of China will be over. Facts have proved that they are the agents of the European and American powers in China, the agents of the Soviet Union in China, the interests of the European and American powers that have set up many concessions in China, and the interests of the Soviet Union, which occupies many territories in China, and they cannot truly represent the interests of the Chinese people.

The elder Shanshan re-emphasized that the purpose of the Japanese army's entry into the "China" country was to eliminate the "Chinese" and "reactionary politics", to liberate the "Chinese" people from the violent rule of the "Chinese" people, and to liberate the "Chinese" people from the threat of the "Chinese".

Shanshan Yuan made a long speech, and then said that now the public security situation in North China has tended to improve, and the government of the Great Japanese Empire has been repeatedly discussed, believing that the current China needs to rebuild its country peacefully, and give the people a peaceful environment where they can farm with peace of mind and marry their wives and have children. In order to protect the peace-loving people, the Great Japanese Government established the Xingya Academy to provide unified guidance for the economic and cultural construction of North, Central and South China, and to help China develop its economy. Many people of insight in China have seen this clearly and have cooperated with the imperial army. Mr. Li Wenli, who recently joined the Cheng Imperial Army, is one of them. Before cooperating with the Imperial Army, Li Wenli only had one or two thousand people left, confined in the mountains southwest of Anqiu, with guns but no guns, no food, no money, and was also suppressed by the Eighth Route Army and the Shandong Provincial Government, and his life was miserable. Since Li Wenli cooperated with the imperial army, in just a few days, the army has expanded to 12,000 people, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. Those who are in a similar situation to Mr. Li Wenli should learn a lesson from Li Wenli, that is, to cooperate with the Imperial Army, and to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China and **, there is only one way out, that is, disarming and reorganizing. Fools can see clearly who to work with.

Shanshanyuan threatened that Liu Yimin had fled Shandong under the blows of the Japanese army, and that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had also fled Shandong, and that the Japanese army would launch a large-scale public security operation in the next step to completely eliminate the resistance forces in North China, and that the troops of Yan Xishan and Jin Sui in Shanxi, Zhang Yinwu's People's Army in northern China, and Shi Yousan's Northwest Army, including Zhang Liyuan and others in Shandong, should seriously consider their own futures. Cooperate with the Imperial Army, and the troops can grow rapidly: Cooperate with **, and the end result is that the troops are reorganized: resisting the Imperial Army is self-destruction.

Then, Shanshanyuan called on the people to return to the towns, and vowed to protect the safety of the townspeople, not to listen to the propaganda of the Eighth Route Army, and not to listen to the coercion of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

In the end, Shanshanyuan also pretended to give the people of North China a New Year's greeting in advance and wished a happy New Year.

Shanshanyuan's speech was not actually written by him, and he did not have such a high theoretical level, which was concocted by the masters of the Japanese pen unit.

I don't know how other people feel when they watch Shanshanyuan's conversation, Emperor Hirohito was very appreciative after watching it, and he felt that he had seen Shanshanyuan, he was still quite level! However, "Emperor Hirohito's telegram to Sugimoto did not mention this conversation at all, but asked whether Sugimoto had captured the main force of the Eighth Route Army and rescued Princess Hideko Junmiya?"

Shanshanmoto's fanatical heart was splashed cold by Emperor Hirohito, so he had to strictly order all troops to look for Princess Junmiya Hideko, and at the same time strictly ordered Okamoto Naosaburo to lead reinforcements to all divisions in Suxian Prefecture to "expand the search area, catch up with the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and resolutely annihilate it."

It may also be the luck of the old devil of Shanshan, the Japanese search and reconnaissance unit soon detected the main force of the Eighth Route Army gathered on the front line of the Huhe River.

The frustrated Japanese army finally found the target of the attack, and under the command of Naosaburo Gangbe, the Japanese army left the 16th Division to hold the Jiāo line between Xuzhou and Suxian "as a reserve, and the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th divisions pursued and suppressed in the direction of Zhuoyang, in an attempt to encircle the Eighth Route Army. Even the Guards Divisions stationed in Tai'an and Yanzhou went south to participate in the battle, and the remaining defense jiāo was given to the 27th Division located on the front line of Xuzhou.

This time, Shanshan Yuan was determined to create a miracle "to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the plain."

Hu Laohu and Pao Wen commanded the cavalry brigade, gave full play to the characteristics of the cavalry unit's strong mobility ability, and took advantage of the opportunity that the roads were muddy after the snow, the Japanese army was inconvenient, and it was difficult for the Japanese planes to participate in the battle.

The common people in the Suxian and Suixi areas, basically none of them spent the New Year at home during this chūn festival, and moved around under the cover of the Eighth Route Army to avoid the sweep of the Japanese army.

Just when the six permanent divisions of the Japanese army were killing in the Fuyang area and setting off a bloody storm, the Japanese North China Front Army could not care about the difficulties of marching after the snow, and seized the opportunity of the Chinese people to celebrate the New Year, and mobilized the 114th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Xuzhou, the 27th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Tai'an, and the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army serving as a support task on Longhai Road, and with the cooperation of the puppet army, launched a sweep of the Lunan Mountains. The Japanese army of the Fourth Route was violent, stepping on snow and mud, and launched a rampant attack on the mountainous area of Lunan in an attempt to recapture Linyi and control Lunan and southeast Lu with Linyi as a branch.

In order to cope with the Lunan operation, the North China Front ordered the Japanese division stationed in Jinan, the 32nd Division stationed in Zhoucun, the 36th Division stationed in Weixian, and the Qingdao garrison, with the cooperation of Li Wenli and other puppet troops, to start a frantic sweep on both sides of the Jiaoji Road, in an attempt to clear both sides of the Jiaoji Road, compress the living space of the Eighth Route Army and the local armed forces, and completely restore the public order situation along the Jiaoji Road.

The 23rd Division and the 38th Division stationed on the Longhai Line were also unwilling to be defeated, and began to sweep towards the southwestern part of Shandong.

All these actions of the Japanese army did not escape Liu Yimin's eyes.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Yimin sent a telegram of New Year's greetings to the leaders of the Central Committee, the General Headquarters, the main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army, and then sent a telegram of New Year's greetings to the heads of various departments of the instructors.

Ni Hua laughed at him and said that all the ideas that come out of the sky are ghosts, and everyone else is on the first day of the first month of the new year to visit the mén and greet each other.

Liu Yimin said that it is not good not to pay New Year's greetings, and it is the practice of civilized people to send New Year's greetings and greetings by telegram.

However, not everyone can use a telegram to pay New Year's greetings. Liu Yimin went to pay respectful New Year's greetings to his mother-in-law Li Yun, paid New Year's money for his two sons, and led He'er to build a few snowmen in the yard, and then went to the field hospital to see the wounded, and had dinner with the soldiers at the special operations headquarters before returning to his residence to continue to study the next step of the operation.

The Japanese army was so rampant that it dared to attack from all sides, and this was the time to hit its soft underbelly.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the first day of the first lunar month, Liu Yimin sent a secret order to Fu Zhuting, Xu Shiyou, and Liu Jianli and Zhang Haitao, who were resting and waiting on the border of Hebei and Shandong: "Seize Cangxian County and cut off the supply line of the Japanese army!" ”
