However, the Eighth Route Army still maintained a strong offensive in Hanbei, containing a large number of Japanese elites, which obviously greatly surprised Shi Yousan's expectations. This made Shi Yousan, an old traitor whose cheek could compete with the city wall, a little embarrassed, and secretly said that he was a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

For the change of the war in southern Hebei, I am also confused, if I want to say that I understand the Eighth Route Army, I am not a little stronger than Shi Yousan. If it is said that a year ago, the Eighth Route Army was short of ammunition, and I still believed it, but now, it is not the case at all.

Although the production capacity of the Baotou Arsenal is limited, the two production lines were started at the same time, which could fully meet the consumption of the Eighth Route Army in the north in terms of ammunition. Moreover, Han Yunhua's department still maintains the tradition of regional bullet reloading, and it is almost a battle, and the total amount of ammunition consumed by the Eighth Route Army can be reloaded. If the battle is won and captured, there will be a lot of money, and there will be no shortage of weapons and ammunition.

After a period of reconnaissance, they also discovered the reason for the great increase in the strength of the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei. The mastermind or "culprit" of the turmoil in Shandong could not stay in Luxi and fled to southern Hebei, and after combining with the Eighth Route Army in southern anthrals, such a unit was produced.

The growth of the strength of the Eighth Route Army in recent years is obvious to all, and this is not a trivial matter. As a little devil bent on establishing the so-called Greater East Asia Co-prosperity, he could not tolerate the emergence of a "Chinese" army that could threaten the security of the Japanese army in the puppet Manchurian and North China areas, but now the resistance of the southern Nationalist Government is still very fierce, and the two sides used more than 2 million troops to fight to the death in Wuhan along the Yangtze River for nearly two months some time ago. Although the Nationalist government was defeated in this battle, it still caused great casualties to the Japanese army. This made it impossible for the Japanese army to attack Chongqing, and at the same time, it had to station large troops around Wuhan to prevent a possible counteroffensive by the Nationalist government.

As a result, the Japanese army was seriously short of troops in China. The North China Front is now in a state of imbalance in strength, and the strength of the nine divisions and regiments, four independent mixed brigades, and six independent wings under the jurisdiction of the North China Front can fully satisfy the control of North China. However, since the Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River eastward and came to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, the good days of the Japanese army have come to an end, although the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has not fought a few decent battles of annihilation, but the results achieved by cold guns and cold artillery guerrilla tactics are equally surprising. Moreover, Han Yunhua, who was born out of nowhere, has created a shocking military legend, with a remnant regiment developing into a behemoth that people look up to in two years.

The army was insufficient, and the city was lost. In reality, the entire Saibei grassland is followed by the eastern Hebei that connects the inside and outside of the Guan, and now even the northern Hebei and northern Jin are under the threat of the killing god of the Zhina.

Senior General Binshan Yuan is one of the senior officers of the "Japan" who has really seen Han Yunhua's strength, and he is also one of the "Japan" officers who know Han Yunhua. He knew Han Yunhua's personality very well, either he didn't do it, or if he did, he would be fatal with one blow. In the offensive and defensive battles in the northern part of the country in the previous period, on the surface, the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Dynasty attacked the strong with weakness, and the Yamashita Division even resisted the frantic attack of the two reorganized divisions under Han Yunhua with a newly organized division. However, General Binshan Yuan knew that he had failed in the offensive and defensive battle in Saibei, and Han Yunhua's fundamental purpose was not to take the Pingjin area as judged by him and the entire special high school, but to clear the last two military strongholds of the Japanese army on the Saibei grassland. And he also did the battle of Xilinhot, tank VC cavalry. Overnight, King De and Li Shouxin's Xilinhot and more than 100,000 troops were wiped out in such a daze, and King De himself became a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army, and only Li Shouxin escaped with more than 200 henchmen.

At this time, the Japanese army only had a few strongholds left in Hailar and Manchuria on the Saibei grassland, but these two strongholds were thousands of miles away from Hohhot, the center of gravity of the grassland, and Han Yunhua was not in the mood or energy to attack those two unimportant strongholds, otherwise it would be impossible for the Imperial Japanese Army to hold Hailar River Manchuria.

In terms of military purpose, Han Yunhua achieved his military goal, so the offensive and defensive battle in the north of the country was won by Han Yunhua. But General Binshan Yuan was not reconciled, he wanted to fight with Han Yunhua in a dignified manner, and now his four field divisions have entered the northern Henan region, and they will soon be able to reach Shanxi, meet with the Shanxi First Army, and then calm down the war in southern Hebei first. Then the army went north to drive Han Yunhua's troops back to Saibei, and it was best to recover Chengde. ,

General Binshan Yuan's orders were very strong, and he, as the supreme commander of the North China Front, ordered all units of the North China Front to be ready for battle at any time. At the same time, a wing of reinforcements was allocated to the Yamashita Division, which had a large consumption. The 4th Division, the 109th Division, the 110th Division, and the 1st Division, which had received their way south to support the Central China Front, had entered Shanxi a day earlier and would join up with the First Army stationed in Shanxi within two days. General Binshan Yuan was overjoyed, and the depression in his heart suddenly subsided a lot, and the return of these four field divisions made General Binshan Yuan a lot more confident.

At this time, General Binshan Yuan was full of confidence in the next war, not counting the three-unit garrison divisions transferred from China, the field divisions with full combat effectiveness included the 1st Division, the 109th Division, the 110th Division, the 1st Division, the 5th Division, the 108th Division, the 20th Division, the 21st Division, the 26th Division, the 10th Division, the Yamashita Division, the Cavalry Group, and the 12 divisions and regiments transferred to the North China Front Army. As well as the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th independent brigades, the 6th heavy artillery brigade, the 11th brigade, the 2nd brigade of the garrison of China, the first brigade of the military police headquarters stationed in China, the 1st independent wing, the 4th wing, and the chariot wing, etc., the general Binshan Yuan carefully calculated the cards in his hand, and the North China Front at this time had a total of 16 divisions, 11 brigades, two independent wings, and a chariot wing, with a total strength of more than 350,000.

Such a powerful configuration is the first time since the establishment of the North China Front Army, not to mention that it is the first time that he commanded nearly 500,000 troops, including the puppet army, to fight, and it is the first time that General Binshan Yuan, an officer who has fought countless battles. The exuberant General Binshan Yuan ordered the four field divisions that had traveled long distances to speed up their marches, to enter Taiyuan City before the official day of July, and to devote themselves to a new battle immediately after repairing for a week.

Before these four divisions returned to North China, General Binshan Yuan also had 250,000 troops in his hands, but General Binshan Yuan did not dare to argue with Han Yunhua's subordinates, why did he say this? Except for the Fifth Division and the Yamashita Division, the remaining troops are either second-line garrison troops or have been severely damaged by Han Yunhua's troops, and although they have been replenished, they cannot recover their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

In particular, the newly formed 32nd Division, 35th Division, 36th Division, 37th Division, 6th Independent Brigade, 7th Independent Brigade, 8th Independent Brigade, 9th Independent Brigade, and 10th Independent Brigade are all new recruits just formed this year. Therefore, General Binshan Yuan didn't dare to use these people to fight against Han Yunhua's subordinates at all, because he was afraid that Han Yunhua would see that he was the real strong crossbow.

However, at this time, the return of more than 100,000 field elites of the four field divisions and regiments immediately dispelled the worries in the heart of General Binshan Yuan, and the 100,000 field troops were much stronger than the 300,000 recruits. General Binshan Yuan believes that as long as it is properly arranged, Han Yunhua's troops will definitely be disabled this time.

Moreover, as a commander, especially a senior commander like General Binshan Yuan, who is in charge of more than 300,000 people, General Binshan Yuan also has a purpose, that is, to use the "Middle" ** team to train troops, just like Han Yunhua used the Japanese army to train soldiers, General Binshan Yuan also hopes to train a real elite army for the Japanese Imperial Army through the next battle. Otherwise, those hundreds of thousands of recruits will really not be of much use.

After discussion, General Binshan Yuan urgently transferred the 32nd and 35th Divisions plus the 2rd Independent Brigade and the 7th Brigade to southern Hebei, while the 20th Division, the 21st Division, the 26th Division, the 10th Division, the Yamashita Division, and the Cavalry Group went north to Pingjin to participate in the sweep of Han Yunhua's headquarters. The 36th and 37th Divisions, with the cooperation of the 4th Independent Regiment, the 9th Brigade, the 1st Division, and the 108th Division, comprehensively attacked the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the two divisions of the Eighth Route Army, Kou Q and 115, in the southeast of Shanxi.

General Binshan Yuan was ruthless this time, in order to be foolproof, this time he actually did not call a single soldier of the puppet army, but only ordered all the puppet troops to cooperate with the Japanese army that had no offensive combat mission to defend the cities in the rear. In addition, General Binshan Yuan can be regarded as mobilizing all the troops that can be mobilized, and the number of troops directly participating in the attack on Saibei has reached 7 divisions and two independent infantry brigades totaling 150,000 people, the troops participating in the attack on the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi Province have also reached more than 80,000 troops in four divisions and two independent brigades, and there are also two divisions and two independent brigades and regiments attacking southern Hebei, plus the original troops in southern Hebei, totaling more than 50,000 people. The Japanese army that attacked the Jizhong Military Region and the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region was the least, with only one independent mixed brigade, two independent infantry wings, and one cavalry wing, with a total strength of less than 20,000 troops. 【Latte Chinese】[.Natie.Cc]
