The small Doucun ambush was soon reported by radio to Lieutenant General Nakajima Imasa, commander of the 16th Division. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info this old devil, immediately ordered to kill all the Chinese who dared to resist!

Nakajima Isago is crazy, crazy, demonized!

The situation of the Doucun ambush was reported to the headquarters of the North China Front, and Terauchi Shouichi and Okabe Naosaburo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said in unison, "Yo West!" ”

Terauchi Shouichi and Okabe Naosaburo carefully planned and used the plan of repairing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty to secretly Chen Cang, the purpose of which was to fight the Eighth Route Army unprepared. What they were most afraid of was that the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army, which had captured Texas, heard the wind and slipped away. In that case, their plan to cultivate the plank road and secretly Chen Cang will become a joke!

Although the scale of the Doucun ambush was small, the fact that it was able to completely annihilate the elite 16th Division and a search team in a short period of time shows that the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army knew nothing about the actions of the Japanese army, and their forces were still scattered! That's it, you can rest assured!

The leader of the devil squad who was ambushed couldn't have imagined that he was dead, and the general of the temple didn't care about their life or death at all, but about the movements of the Eighth Route Army. Their deaths, in the eyes of the general in the temple, are just to prove their judgment!

General Terauchi Shouichi, who thought that the Eighth Route Army knew nothing about their movements, immediately asked Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo to send a report to the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division, pointing out that the Eighth Route Army was temporarily ignorant of the combat operations of the two elite divisions of the Japanese Army in attacking Dezhou, and ordered them to speed up and form an encirclement of Dezhou, and not let go of a single Eighth Route Army!

Okabe Naosaburo is worthy of being the chief of staff of the North China Front, and he is quite talented, and he even said in a telegram: "The advance detachment of Xiao Siming of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army is the most ferocious, cunning, despicable, and shameless Chinese army that the Great Japanese Army has encountered since the China Incident. The department is accustomed to covert actions and sudden attacks, often hitting the most important and weak places of the units of the front army, and every battle catches the troops of the front army by surprise and suffers heavy losses! So far, Xiao Siming's division has successively fought with the 109th Division, the 20th Division, the Airport Garrison of the Provisional Aviation Corps, the 108th Division, the 16th Division, the 10th Division, the 114th Division, the 3rd Mixed Brigade, the 13th Mixed Brigade, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade, the 4th Independent Railway Brigade, the 5th Brigade, the North China Garrison Mixed Brigade, the 5th Division, and other units. Without exception, every battle, no matter how large or small, ended with the victory of the army and the heavy defeat of the imperial army. Looking at the various troops in China, in such a short period of time, Xiao Siming's troops frequently fought with so many imperial army troops, which is really rare! ”

In fact, when Xiao Siming's subordinates captured Dezhou, they eliminated the troops stationed in Dezhou with the 3rd Mixed Brigade, the 13th Mixed Brigade, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 5th Brigade and Regiment.

Not only that, Okabe Naosaburo also bluntly said in a telegram: "In the battle against this department, the Imperial Army units suffered the greatest losses were the 109th Division, the Provisional Aviation Regiment, the 16th Division, the 114th Division, the North China Garrison Army Mixed Brigade, the Texas Garrison Command, and the 5th Division.

Among them, the 109th Division lost nearly one wing of troops in the Battle of Yuxian, and the 119th Wing Wing Commander Ishida Jinzo Osatama Crush. In the Battle of Shouyang, a full infantry brigade and a brigade were lost in stored ammunition, food;

The Taiyuan airfield of the Provisional Aviation Corps was destroyed, with the loss of 48 warplanes and all airfield personnel, equipment and garrisons;

The 16th Division was ambushed by Xiao Siming's troops in Mafang Town, and the 20th Cavalry Wing and most of the infantry brigade were shattered. The command knife, binoculars, compass, and briefcase of the commander of the 20th Cavalry Wing, Toshimatsu Nakasa, are still on display in Wuhan, greatly affecting the image of the invincible Japanese Army;

A fully loaded infantry brigade of the 114th Division rode a military column south, and was attacked by Xiao Siming's troops at Lianzhen Station on Jinpu Road, and the whole brigade was collectively shattered;

The Second Brigade of the Second Infantry Wing of the North China Garrison Mixed Brigade was ambushed by Xiao Siming's Department in the south of Dezhou City when it was reinforcing Dezhou, and the collective jade was shattered. The 1st Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Wing of the North China Garrison Army, which was formed into a mixed brigade, suffered heavy losses in the operation of reinforcing the Luokou Bridge;

The Texas Garrison Command, including the 16th Division, the 114th Division, the 3rd Mixed Brigade, the 13th Mixed Brigade, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade, were left in Dezhou, including the 4th Independent Railway Brigade and the 5th Independent Railway Brigade, which were basically collectively shattered, and 126 people were captured, which made the Japanese Empire lose face in the international community!

After the Fifth Division returned to Jinan, it was fiercely attacked by Xiao Siming's troops in the battle to seize the Luokou Bridge. The department shamelessly used a large number of poison gas bombs, which led to heavy losses in the 21st Wing of the 5th Division! ”

It's not bad, Okabe Naosaburo also covered up the ugliness of the Fifth Division, and covered up the fact that the 21st Wing was completely disabled with the words "suffered heavy losses"!

In order to stimulate the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division, let them know their shame and then be brave, attack quickly, and encircle the eastward advance detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army in Texas, pounce on it, and completely destroy it!

It's a bit of a radical trick!

No, after Okabe Naosaburo uncovered the scars, he went straight to the point, and ordered the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division to speed up the march, grab time, and after the troops were deployed, pull the net on a large scale, don't be afraid of the loss of small troops, you must put Xiao Siming's troops into the net, and then quickly narrow the encirclement, until Xiao Siming's troops are completely compressed into Dezhou City, gather and annihilate them!

Okabe Naosaburo even said in a telegram that Xiao Siming's ministry was a cancer of public security in North China, and whether or not it could be annihilated in World War I had a bearing on whether public order in North China was stable, on whether the lines of communication were safe, on whether the Japanese Army could concentrate its forces to capture Wuhan, on the prestige of the North China Front of the Japanese Army, and on His Majesty the Emperor's ambitions and great achievements.

This Okabe Naosaburo is so powerful and afraid, why don't you say that you can't eliminate Xiao Simingbu, which will cause Emperor Hirohito to not be able to climb on the snow-white body of Empress Ryoko?

Xiao Siming's department is now only a newly established brigade-level detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and it is a new unit in the Eighth Route Army system, and it is even more a unit with no number and no military expenditure in the sequence of China's anti-Japanese army.

Okabe Naosaburo doesn't know the inside story of the Chinese army, he looks at the battle results, and only knows that Xiao Siming's department is the most dangerous enemy he has encountered in his life, how will he know that Xiao Siming's department does not have a regular number and military budget guarantee!

It cannot be said that there is no regular number, the Eighth Route Army is a standard regular army, and the 115th Division's eastward advance detachment is the regular number of Xiao Siming's department. The problem is that this number is not recognized in the national * army sequence!

If Xiao Siming saw this telegram, he would definitely pout his lips and say disapprerovingly, we just fought a few beautiful ambushes and assault battles, is it worth your Okabe Naosaburo fuss!

In any case, Terauchi Shouichi and Okabe Naosaburo, who had peeked through the mystery from the small Doucun ambush and thought that Xiao Siming's troops knew nothing about the actions of the Japanese army, were completely crazy and strictly ordered the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division to speed up and encircle Dezhou!

Fighting a war has always been a matter for both sides, not as imagined by Terauchi Shouichi and Okabe Naosaburo sitting in the headquarters of the North China Front!

The Fifth Division is rolling south, and the Sixteenth Division is moving north. For a while, the smoke was everywhere, and the war was raging! But at this time, in the face of a strong enemy, the Eighth Route Army did not retreat, but rose up to fight, ambushed, blocked, and attacked together, delaying the speed of the Japanese army's attack and covering the transfer of the people.

Because the intentions of the Japanese army had been fully exposed, the Wudi Independent Regiment, which was guarding the Yellow River defense position in Luokou, was ordered to evacuate urgently, and together with the Deping Independent Regiment that refused to take the plains, Yucheng, and Qihe counties, they adopted the method of attacking and harassing warfare with battalions and companies as units, resisted step by step, and did their best to delay the Japanese army, cover the villagers who were harvesting wheat, and evade the heavy siege of the Japanese army.

The same was true of the northern front, where the 4th Regiment of the Eastward Advance Detachment and the Yanshan Independent Regiment did not flinch in the face of a strong enemy, and resolutely attacked the 3rd Wing of the Japanese Railway and the puppet army Liu Peichen's unit that were raging with the 5th Division, as well as the puppet Jidong Security Corps troops transferred from eastern Hebei.

The Fifth Detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Jinpu Detachment, which had just arrived at the Hebei-Shandong border, were originally the strong brigades of the Eighth Route Army, and the backbone of the troops were all from the Soviet area.

It's a pity that the strength of the 5th and 16th Divisions of the Japanese Army is indeed too strong, and the harassment of the units of the Eighth Route Army can't really stop them from killing Texas!

On June 9, the 5th and 16th Divisions of the Japanese Army finally arrived at the outskirts of Dezhou and realized the rendezvous at the periphery of Dezhou. And then the attack on Texas began!

In the sky, the Japanese aircraft group was raging, and on the ground were the field artillery of the 5th Division, the 5th Wing of the Field Artillery, the 22nd Wing of the 16th Division, and the mountain artillery were fiercely shelling.

Under the double cover of air and ground artillery fire, the Japanese 5th Division's combat convoy, armored convoy, 16th Division's combat convoy, armored convoy, roaring motors, emitting black smoke, led the infantry to launch a fierce attack on Texas City!

What made Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, commander of the Fifth Division, and Lieutenant General Imasago Nakajima, commander of the 16th Division, vomit blood with anger was that when the Japanese army was scarf Dezhou City, they found that Dezhou City was unexpectedly empty, not to mention the Eighth Route Army defending the city, and even the common people couldn't see it!
