Chapter 980 The Most Meaningful Intelligence

Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng quietly left, Liu Yimin also quietly left, but Shimén City was still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and the flour mills, rolling mills, yarn mills, garment shops, and shoe factories were all producing at full capacity. The first was to produce munitions for the Chinese army, and the Eighth Route Army was cash, and the merchants and workers were holding their strength to produce more flour, more cotton, cloth, clothing, and shoes, and do their part in the war of resistance.

In addition to organizing production and transferring materials to the Taihang base area and the Jinchaji base area, Song Renqiang, the political commissar of the southern Hebei District, was also busy setting up an underground jiāo pass station in Shimén City, so that the eyes of the Eighth Route Army could grow into Shimén City and monitor the little devil's every move.

By the night of November 26, the forward of the Japanese heavy army group had arrived in Luancheng County, Chen Zaidao and Song Renqiang ordered all troops to evacuate by separate routes, and the main force evacuated the Shimén and Pinghan Road positions in batches, hid in tunnels, transferred and evacuated through tunnels, and returned to the hinterland of the southern Hebei base area. Camouflage the main force with a torch and retreat in the direction of the well path, creating the illusion that our army is withdrawing to Taihang Mountain. It was not until late at night that the Japanese advance arrived on the outskirts of Shimén that Song Renqiang led the cavalry guard company to hold torches high, got out of Shimén, and galloped towards the west of Shimén. He wanted to return to the Taihang base area to report to Chief Liu Deng, and he happened to be in charge of the last yòu enemy mission.

Before retreating, Song Renqiang summoned Ma Heyan, the mayor of Pseudo-Shimén City.

Song Renqiang is only 30 years old this year, because of the encouragement of the capture of Shi Mén, and the fact that life in Shi Mén is good these days, Song Renqiang's face has become brighter, and his eyes looking at Ma Heyan are a little more teasing.

Song Renqiang's words were very concise: "Mr. Ma, our army is about to evacuate Shi Mén." On the orders of General Liu Yimin, commander of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, I convey to you... Requirements: 1. The reason why our army did not kill you was because you had paid some labor in the construction of Shimén, and the construction of Shimén could not be stopped, and we had to try to get the Japanese army to increase investment and speed up construction; 2. It is forbidden to do evil, and if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself; 3. After the evacuation of our army, we organized the released Japanese overseas Chinese, puppet policemen, and self-defense regiments in the city to meet the Japanese army outside the city, so as to prevent the Japanese army from frantically retaliating and massacring innocent civilians in the city. ”

After speaking, Song Renqiang didn't give Ma Heyan any chance to confess and explain, and drove him away directly. In doing so, it was to create a strong psychological pressure on Ma Heyu, so that he could not understand the reality of our army, and had to do what our army demanded.

As a result, a strange scene appeared: when the vanguard of the Japanese army entered the city of Shimén, the street lights in the city were still bright. Ma Heyan, mayor of Pseudo-Stone Mén City, and Tengtaro Katakura, adviser to the Municipal Office of Pseudo-Stone Mén, led those Japanese overseas Chinese, Japanese pseudo-journalists, pseudo-policemen, and pseudo-self-defense members who were released by the Eighth Route Army to line up in two long rows on the main road to welcome the Japanese army.

Although there were street lights, and although the lights of the motorcycles, tanks, armored vehicles, and cars of the vanguard of the Japanese army were bright enough, the Japanese officers who led the team still could not believe their eyes, for fear of fraud, and did not dare to continue to advance. It wasn't until Katakura Tengtaro ran to him and whispered a bird language that the Japanese officers believed that the Eighth Route Army had evacuated Shimén, and that it was retreating in the direction of Taihang Mountain, and hurriedly reported to the large army, and then drove into the city.

When Shiro Inaba, commander of the Japanese Army's heavy forces, received the report and rushed to the castle of Ishimén, it was already dawn.

Walking into the compound of the former Shijiazhuang garrison headquarters, you will be greeted by four slogans that are vertically painted on the building: "Fight Japanese imperialism", "Destroy the Japanese invaders", "Little devils go back to the East", "Go to Beiping, and capture Tada Jun alive"

Since Shiro Inaba led his troops to land in Lianyungang, he has been fighting and marching from southeast Lu to south Lu to Shi Mén on Pinghan Road, and he has never slept even a little sleep, his eyes are worried, his face is sallow, and his neat mustache, which has always been rested, has grown and luàn.

Seeing the slogan of the Eighth Route Army, Shiro Inaba's eyes were red, and he pulled out his command knife and slashed at the slogan on the wall, scolding while chopping: "Baga Liu Yimin, the work of the coward, the work of the liar, the work of the thief, the work of the thief Baga"

After scolding and getting tired, Shiro Inaba sat on the ground with his ass on his shoulder, panting with his mouth open, as if he was going to spit out all the depression in his stomach.

Tengtaro Katakura stood aside, lowered his head and reported in a low voice: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on Shi Mén at one o'clock on the night of the 19th. The artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was very powerful, and with just one round of strikes, it basically destroyed the outer positions of the garrison. Immediately afterwards, the Eighth Route Army launched a fierce attack on Shimén from three directions: east, south, and north. The first to enter the city was the easterly attack force of the Eighth Route Army, which was dominated by chariots, armored vehicles, and automobiles, and the Shijiazhuang garrison did not even have a chance to shrink its troops and establish street fortifications, and Shimén was breached. ”

Shiro Inaba didn't say a word, probably because he was dizzy.

Tengtaro Katakura went on to report: "After the Eighth Route Army captured Shi Mén and captured us all, the next situation is not clear. However, Liu Yimin soon held a press conference, and I was released. After coming out, I learned that the Eighth Route Army did not carry out sabotage as it did in Tianjin and Qingdao, Shi Mén's enterprises could produce as usual, and the railway station was intact, so I don't know what happened to the airport. ”

Shiro Inaba got up from the ground and roared at Tengtaro Katakura, "Baga, your big fool Tsuchihachi is using Shi Mén as their freight station, come and go whenever you want." Shi Mén's enterprise has not been destroyed, and eighty percent of the goods produced have disappeared, right? ”

Tengtaro Katakura snorted this report: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, although I have been released, I can't act casually. The scope of activities is limited to my home and the street, and I can't go to any of the valuable targets. Tonight, I only saw a large number of the Eighth Route Army retreating on all fronts, heading towards the Taihang Mountains in the west. Sorry for the trouble."

Shiro Inaba stared at Tengtaro Katakura with eyes like dead fish.

Due to the large number of Japanese troops entering the city, by 9 o'clock in the morning, the situation of Shi Mén was basically clear, and the Eighth Route Army did not destroy the railway station, but all the railroad tracks between Zhengding and Yuanshi were stripped away; The tarmac of Daguozhuang Airport was not damaged, but apart from the neatly placed corpses of Japanese pilots, ground crews, and guard troops, not even a single bullet casing or screw could be found on the airport. The railway station and freight yard were not destroyed, but all the ammunition and grain stored there were gone, and there was no trace of explosion at the scene, indicating that all these materials went into the pockets of the Eighth Route Army. The same is true in Shimén City, where factories and shops run by Chinese continue to operate as usual, while the enterprises, shops, and homes of Japanese and public officials are cleaned by the Eighth Route Army and turned into poor eggs.

Instead of destroying Liu Yimin's forces, he seized the opportunity to eliminate the main force of the 38th Division, the Shijiazhuang garrison, and the most important baggage supply base in North China

Looking at the long line of Japanese overseas Chinese outside the headquarters who were filming a long line demanding that the Imperial Army destroy the Eighth Route Army and regain their property, Inaba Shiro felt a sense of frustration in his heart, and he couldn't help but pick up the phone on the table to contact the commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, and opened his mouth to report: "Your Excellency Commander, you have been fooled again, Shimén is an empty city, and the Eighth Route Army has fled."

After the phone call, the exhausted Inaba Shiro had to order the troops to move to rest and recuperate, so that the soldiers could recover and dispose of the bodies of the fallen soldiers.

Inaba Shiro's report is more elegant, and the mad Tada Jun is not so elegant, put down the telephone receiver, Tada Jun turned around and roared at Yoshizumi Ryosuke: "Liu Yimin was fooled again outside Baga, the warrior is not a soldier and not a coward, a thief, a liar doesn't even have the courage to let go of a fight, I despise him"

In fact, without Shiro Inaba's report, Tada Jun and Yoshizumi Ryosuke already knew that Ishimén Castle was an empty city. The Eighth Route Army did not close the Shimén telegraph and telephone office, nor did it prohibit the released Japanese journalists from sending press releases or making phone calls. As soon as the Eighth Route Army withdrew, the North China Front Army Headquarters received a report, and it also knew that the Eighth Route Army had withdrawn in the direction of Taihang Mountain. The reason why Tada Jun had another attack and roared was just that he was depressed and had nowhere to vent.

said that the Eighth Route Army withdrew into Taihang Mountain, and Tada Jun did not believe it at all. Changing to other units of the Eighth Route Army, when the Japanese army was heavily killed back to Shimén, retreating to Taihang Mountain was the most correct choice. But Liu Yimin's department is not an ordinary Eighth Route Army unit, he has so many combat vehicles, armored vehicles, and automobiles, can he drive into Taihang Mountain?

Tada Jun finished roaring and stood in front of the map, he wanted to find out where the main force of the Eighth Route Army had fled and where it was hiding.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke is the chief of staff, in addition to the staff and military, there are many issues to consider, Longhai Road is now repaired, but the southern section of Jinpu Road has not been repaired, and now Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road have been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, although the mileage of the destruction is not large, but the Eighth Route Army always does this, where does the North China Front Army go nòng so many steel rails, how much manpower and material resources do it cost to build the railway? Moreover, the most urgent problem is that Shi Mén's supplies were plundered by the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army was sufficient, but the First Army in Shanxi was complaining, and there was no supply of ammunition, food, and products. Fortunately, the four divisions of the Kwantung Army that had gone south from the Pinghan Road had all returned north, otherwise, these four divisions would have been even worse than the First Army, and they were faced with the problem of no bullets, shells, and food at that time.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke reminded Tada Jun that he must concentrate on repairing Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road as soon as possible, otherwise the situation of the First Army will be in danger.

After all, Tada Jun is Tada Jun, and he is about to call Shimoda Murori, Minister of Railways of the North China Front Army, asking him to quickly prepare rails and sleepers, and organize all the forces that can be organized to rush to repair Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road.

As soon as Shimoda Murori reported a difficulty on the phone, he was scolded by Tada Jun for splitting his head and covering his face, first scolding the railway garrison for being useless guys, occupying the establishment, holding military salaries, and not even looking down on the railway, so that the Eighth Route Army was everywhere, and the money of Great Japan was consumed in the hands of a group of fools like the railway garrison. Then, Tada Hayao threatened Shimoda Muroli, saying that if the Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road were not built in time, and that the First Army would be in danger due to the inability to deliver supplies, he would definitely ask His Majesty the Emperor to ask all the officers of the Ministry of Railways and above to apologize for their crimes

Tada Jun put down the microphone after putting down the harsh words, he knew that the Ministry of Railways would strictly follow his orders.

In fact, it is indeed the case, on the day the Japanese army recaptured Shimén, they began to repair Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road.

As early as when the Eighth Route Army attacked and occupied Zaozhuang, Tada Jun ordered Shimoda to prepare enough materials to rush to repair Jinpu Road and Longhai Road, and negotiated the consent of the base camp to supply it with all its might. The Longhai Road had just been repaired, the Jinpu Road was under construction, and the Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. The pressure of Shimodamuro can be imagined. But he had no choice, let alone complained about Tadajun's incompetence, so he could only viciously curse the Eighth Route Army and Liu Yimin, while constantly calling and sending telegrams to the president of the Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd., asking for strong support, and at the same time urging his subordinates to go to the construction site to supervise the construction.

Tada Jun now has to figure out a question, that is, whether Liu Yimin's forces are hidden in the central Hebei region north of the Deshi Highway or in the southern Hebei region south of the Deshi Highway. Then it is good to mobilize the army to surround it and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

Tada Jun was not sleepy for long, and Sen Gang, the head of the secret service of the North China Front, came to report that he had received reliable information that Liu Yimin had crossed the Jinpu Road and arrived at the Jilu border area.

After hearing this, Tada Jun, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, and Hirata Masashi were about to open their mouths in surprise.

After being surprised, Tada Jun slowly came back to his senses and asked in a low voice, "Yoshioka-kun, how reliable is your information?" ”

Yoshioka reported that his information came from reports from agents embedded in the Eighth Route Army on the Jilu border. This inside line is the original development of Tianjin southbound NV students, as the Eighth Route Army Jilu Border District Art Troupe NV cadre, she is an important leader of the Eighth Route Army Jilu Border District, this leader was received by Liu Yimin last night, after returning to show off Liu Yimin's praise for him, the information is absolutely reliable. As for when, from where, and by what means Liu Yimin crossed the Jinpu Road, it is still unclear, and it is still unclear where Liu Yimin will flee next

That's enough, too precious, too timely, Tada Jun couldn't help but tat Yoshioka on the shoulder twice, saying that it was the biggest and most meaningful information he had seen the imperial army get since the heavy sweep began.
