On the same day as the recovery of Beiping, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi launched an attack on the devils who reinforced Baoding, and the battle was fierce. Many railways and highways along the way were destroyed, and this time the Eighth Route Army replenished Japanese guns and bullets, which were transported by the Lu Department in North China, and its combat effectiveness was significantly improved.

The large army of the puppet army in Baoding stopped going north and stood by in place.

Both Xuzhou and Wuhan believed that Shouichi Terauchi had been held hostage this time, because the whole of Beiping had been recovered. On the battlefield of Xuzhou, due to the reason of Shouichi Terauchi, the offensive of individual units of the devils was stopped for a time, which gave Li Zongren a huge respite. Li Zongren knew that Lu Xiaoming had done another big thing, and he was very grateful.

After Wuhan found out, he was conflicted, happy that the battle situation in Xuzhou was contained by North China, and his chances of victory increased, and unhappily, his limelight was suppressed again.

The Wuhan base camp called Xiao Lu to ask if he had really captured Shouichi Terauchi, and if so, he would be taken to Wuhan for interrogation.

Xiaolu called back, thousands of remnants of the department, plus thousands of newly surrendered soldiers, sneak attack Beiping, attack the enemy headquarters luckily succeeded, Terauchi Shou is missing, suspected of being rescued by the Japanese ronin, lurking in Pingjin. The chief of staff, Naosaburo Okabe, is suspected of being killed, and the body is very suspicious and is being verified. Because the headquarters was attacked and the enemy's command was confused, our troops took advantage of the chaos to start an incident and occupy Beiping. Today, tens of thousands of enemy troops from Chengde, Tianjin, Tangshan, and Datong are concentrated in Beiping, and the purpose of attacking and harassing the enemy's rear and clearing the enemy's rear for the Battle of Xuzhou has been achieved.

An hour later from the Wuhan base camp called and asked him to hold on to Beiping for another week to buy time for Xuzhou.

The trail called back, and it was guaranteed to last until March 31.

On the same day, Xiaolu was electrified: In the battle to recover Beiping, the Northeast Advance Army killed many generals of the General Staff of the Japanese North China Front Army and executed dozens of traitors who committed heinous crimes.

Half an hour after the telegram was sent, a call came from Wuhan Xingying, asking him to recover Beiping in the name of the National Revolutionary Army. In the future, when the telegram is sent again, it will be changed.

In the afternoon, Xu Zhizhen, Zhang Qingyun, and Zhang Qingyu came to Beiping to see the path.

Several people hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were all very happy to greet each other.

Xu Zhizhen and Zhang Qingyun have now created a lot of foundation in this area, with more than 4,000 troops, several base areas, and a large number of militia.

A few days ago, their troops destroyed the railway north of Tangshan and eliminated the puppet army in two counties. The devil's brigade came to encircle and suppress, and the troops hid in the mountains.

Zhang Qingyu has developed smoothly in the Tangshan area. Thanks to the presence of the congregations of the Elder Brothers, he now has 2,000 men. Two days ago, he echoed with Xu Zhizhen and Zhang Qingyun's troops and laid down a county seat.

Xiaolu said: "I have gained a lot this time, the puppet army in several counties has revolted, I originally planned to take them outside the border, but they are unwilling." It is a very correct solution left to you, I don't know what the three of you think? ”

Xu Zhizhen: "Thank you so much. With these thousands of people, I guarantee that this little devil will not be comfortable in Beiping. ”

Xiaolu said: "I will also hand over the work in the countryside to the three of them. Including the confiscation of the traitor's land and houses, they will be given to you. ”

Zhang Qingyun said: "We all know your experience, confiscating the land of traitors and distributing it to farmers. Good. ”

Xiaolu said: "Lao Zhang is still familiar with rural work now, right?" ”

Zhang Qingyu: "These things are done by the political commissar. Don't say it, the people support it, this battle is easy to fight. ”

Xiaolu said: "The next thing is to ask for your help." Our troops of more than 20,000 people, plus prisoners, are incredible. Please also help us solve the problem of eating. The food I have looted now is only enough to eat for twenty days, so I will have nothing to eat when I return to the border. Also, let's go to Guanwai and ask you to help lead the way. Without your help, we can't get out. The problem is complicated by the fact that we have tanks, cars in our hands, and we have to take the big road. ”

Xu Zhizhen said: "There are a few roads in the mountains, all of which have been repaired by the devils: as long as the devils have walked, you tanks and cars can go." The point is that there are too many devils and traitors, and this road is not easy. ”

Xiaolu said: "The road is facing the sky, each going to one side." We decided to retreat tomorrow. The handover of property personnel took place overnight tonight. The transfer of personnel will be completed tomorrow. In addition, I have something to ask for. ”

Zhang Qingyu: "You say." ”

"We have some old wounded, and some new ones have been added. I want to keep them here. I kept more than a dozen Zhuangzi in the west of Beiping, and the wounded were already secretly housed at night. I hope to take care of them. ”

Shouichi Terauchi had been transferred back to Beiping and imprisoned in his original headquarters. In the past two days, Koji has seen Terauchi Shouichi every night, and he talks for an hour or two each time. Each time, Xiaolu told him about the progress of the recovery.

Hearing Koji talk about the progress of the battle to recover Beiping, Terauchi Shouichi's arrogance returned, as if he was directing the battle. However, seeing the amiable young man in front of him, he remembered his status as a prisoner of war and began to forget his old status and adapt to his new identity.

After listening to the introduction, Terauchi Shouyi: "Do you think you can hold Beiping?" ”

Xiaolu said: "Why should I guard Beiping? How can I hold Beiping because my army can't even maintain social order? Your 109th Division still has a few brigades, moving from Tianjin and Chengde to Beiping, and the troops in the direction of Baoding will also return soon. Why should I defend Beiping? ”

Terauchi Shouichi: "So, Beiping is still ours." ”

Xiaolu said: "It seems that it makes you think for two days, and you haven't made any progress at all." The more people like you, the faster Japan will perish. I ask you, why did you face the USSR directly? Because you occupied Manchuria. The occupation of Manchuria, for your country, has two strategic mistakes. I'm not going to talk about it today, but please think about it. When you can truly understand my point of view, I will tell you the most important point of view, the point of view on the destiny of the Japanese nation and state. ”

Shouichi Terauchi: "I'm old. I won't be angry, but your reasoning, I don't think it makes sense. ”

Xiaolu said: "Japan is a maritime country, and your peasants will not even cultivate the land of Manchuria when they go to Manchuria. The land of Manchuria could not be navigated. It is precisely because you are a maritime country that there is such a big contradiction between your army and navy. ”

Shouichi Terauchi: "I'm not going to think according to your train of thought. ”

Xiaolu said: "The Japanese don't know how to advance or retreat, and you are doomed to lose this war." Read the history and you'll understand. Times have changed. Do you think China is the Ming Dynasty now? ”

Besides. What the two talked about the most was the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Dynasty. Koji knows that many Japanese strategists regard the destruction of the Ming Dynasty as a successful example, a successful case of a small and strong defeating a large and a weak. Xiaolu is talking about the contrast between the historical factors of the two eras.

For historical issues. Shouichi Terauchi actually listened to it, began to think deeply, and completely forgot his status as a prisoner of war.
