During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army repeatedly published in newspapers and radio stations the bounties for the main leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, for which the Japanese army also specially formed two advance teams - Mashiko Shigeo Advance Team and Okawa Momoyoshi Advance Team, which was the Japanese army's elite squad that existed in the Japanese army's battle sequence before Hattori Kuratomi formed a special force.

Even before the Japanese army swept the base area of the Eighth Route Army, they issued ******, Zhu De and others to each soldier. Of course, this kind of thing rarely happens, and in fact, most of the Japanese troops did not have the habit of knowing the appearance of enemy generals before the war. After General Zhang Zizhong was martyred, the vast majority of Japanese troops did not know General Zhang Zizhong's face, and used the newly captured photos to find General Zhang's loyal remains.

With regard to targets of strategic value, the Japanese army was still very determined to strike at them. According to historical records, in May 1942, during the Japanese army's summer sweep of the Taihang and Taiyue base areas, the 63rd Division of the Japanese Army organized the notorious Mashiko Shigeo Advance Team and the Okawa Momoyoshi Advance Team, carrying the photos of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and many generals of the 129th Division in Shanxi to carry out a bloody sweep.

In that sweep, the intelligence of the Japanese army was very accurate, and almost all the generals of the Eighth Route Army in the photos were indeed in the encirclement. Moreover, the Japanese army actually accurately grasped the information that the political commissar Deng of the 129th Division had just gone to the Taiyue Military Region on the eve of the sweep, so the Japanese army specially marked the words "in Taiyue" under his photo.

According to Chinese historical sources, the areas swept by the Japanese army included Yi County, Manxian County, Wan County, Tang County, Qu County, and the eastern part of Fuping County, and these six counties were all located in the Taihang Mountain Mountains or at the foot of the Taihang Mountains. According to the records of the Japanese army's war history, the 63rd Division participated in the "Cai" operation with four infantry brigades, a mountain artillery brigade, and a tank squadron as the backbone, and the biggest result of the Japanese sweep was to kill Zuo Quan, then deputy chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, in Liao County.

Lieutenant General Tada Jun was well aware of Ma Zheng's military and political value, and in his opinion, Ma Zheng alone was far more powerful than China's five infantry divisions.

Therefore, after reading the intelligence analysis of Hirahara Eiichi, Lieutenant General Tada Jun transferred the special combat team and the Mashiko advance team, which he attached great importance to, to the command of Yoshio Shinozuka.

At this time, Ma Zheng did not notice the strange movements of the Japanese army, as a commander, Ma Zheng was very aware of the role of the military commander in the combat troops, so he still attached great importance to his own safety. However, this time, Ma Zheng obviously did not know that the Japanese army had judged his location through high technology, so he did not feel that he was still commanding the operation in Daixian.

The first to find out the abnormality was the integrated 1st Division and the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army stationed on the front line of Ningwuguan and Yuanpingzhen, and they found that the Japanese army, which had been fighting tepidly some time ago, seemed to have gone crazy all of a sudden, and its attack capability was improved a lot, which made the commanders on the front line very puzzled.

But they didn't pay attention to it, thinking that the war in southern Hebei had stimulated the Japanese, and they wanted to regain face on the battlefield in Shanxi.

Ma Zheng also did not pay attention to these changes, mainly because the situation on the eastern Hebei battlefield had changed again, which made Ma Zheng have to be distracted and pay attention to the eastern Hebei battlefield, thus ignoring the dangers around him.

Liu Fengchi's layout has reached the most critical time, the Japanese army really couldn't help but be lonely and began to make a detour to Qian'an to attack Chengde, and at this time, the troops of the Suicha Military Region were also very cooperative, and there was no trace of the Eighth Route Army in the entire Chengde City except for the existing more than 3,000 troops.

Yamamoto Ichiro Shaozuo, head of the First Military Intelligence Section of the North China Region of the Special High-tech Branch, wrote in a telegram sent from Chengde: "It has been more than half a month since the main force of the Horse Division of China withdrew from Chengde, and now there is only a complete infantry regiment in the city of Chengde, and there is also a cavalry battalion and an artillery battalion hidden. I used the most important nail that I was lurking in the Han Department of China, and finally obtained more important information, and the China has hoarded more than 60,000 elite troops in Qian'an, preparing to fight the main battle with the Imperial Japanese Army in Qian'an, so as to hold back the main force of our army......"

The other main force of the Mabu was to quickly and secretly move south to southern Hebei, cooperate with the local guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army to encircle and annihilate our army's troops in southern Hebei, and strive to achieve the total annihilation of more than one division of our army. Then the Chinese army secretly went north to eastern Hebei, and together with the Chinese troops in Qian'an, they ate our troops in eastern Hebei, and then fought for the total annihilation of an infantry division of our army...... The strength of the Chinese army in eastern Hebei is extremely empty, and the defenders in Qianxi, Kuancheng and other places are less than one-third of the original, and most of the troops have been transferred to other places......"

This telegram caused quite a stir in the North China Front Army, you must know that this Yamamoto Ichiro is an authentic Chinese expert, or an authentic Chinese, he is an elite agent trained by Japan for more than ten years, in addition to the education he received, the whole person is Chinese from the inside out, and his current status is also the president of the Chengde Merchants' Federation and the chairman of the Peasant Association, and his status is very high.

He had close relations with the Eighth Route Army and the Nationalist Government in the local area, so Lieutenant General Tada Jun had no doubts about the authenticity of this information. In addition, the repeated large-scale actions of Ma Zheng's department during this period directly led to the annihilation of the 3rd and 4th brigades of the independent mixed army, which corroborated this information from the side.

After receiving the information, Lieutenant General Tada Jun was very excited, he was over fifty years old, and he rarely appeared in such an excited mood today, but his explosive and irritable personality was recuperated, and the whole person seemed to have some indisputable charm, but this charm was destroyed by his beige military coat.

Lieutenant General Tada Jun immediately adjusted the operational order he had just issued, and first of all, he divided the entire battle in eastern Hebei into two battlefields and two stages, and the two battlefields were the southern Hebei battlefield and the eastern Hebei Qian'an battlefield. The main task of the southern Hebei battlefield is to block the enemy's reinforcements, and the purpose is to completely cut off the road for the Chinese troops in southern Hebei to go north, that is to say, in order to prevent the instructor from going north to reinforce the eastern Hebei battlefield, this battlefield Lieutenant General Tada Jun deserves to be handed over to Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro.

The Qian'an battlefield in eastern Hebei refers to concentrating all the existing forces to besiege Liu Fengchi's troops in Qian'an, and then mobilizing a part of the troops from the extremely mobile cavalry to attack the heavy city of Chengde in Renan.

In addition, Tada Jun also upgraded the Shanxi battlefield, which was originally only used for diversion, to the main battlefield, and secretly mobilized a division from the Zhangjiakou front line to go south, go to Laiyuan, and prepare to join forces such as the independent mixed second brigade in Jizhong, and enter Shanxi through the western Hebei region.

And the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the battlefield in Shanxi have only one task, that is, to cooperate with the secret forces of the front army headquarters to snipe the Chinese god of war Ma Zheng! This was a plan proposed by Lieutenant General Tada not long ago, which was aimed at exchanging Ma Zheng's own life at a heavy price, and for this reason, Lieutenant General Tada Jun did not hesitate to take the risk of sending the special combat team of Hattori and Mashiko Advance Team, which were the most powerful in the North China Front.

The specific operational measures were that at the same time as the 36th Division attacked Ningwuguan and the 5th Division attacked Yuanping Town, the main forces of the 20th Division and the 109th Division, with the cooperation of the two special combat teams, lightly armed and risked bypassing the main position of the front line and making an all-out assault on Daixian He, the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, with the focus on capturing or killing Ma Zheng, the Chinese god of war.

Tada Jun also understands the situation in Dai County, after all, the Japanese army was stationed in Dai County for two years, and the Japanese army headquarters still kept some information about Dai County. Dai County is located in the hinterland of Shanxi, in the Loess Plateau, the geographical advantage is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, at the same time the county seat is not very large, as long as there is a small number of troops can block the main roads inside and outside the city.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to enter the vicinity of Dai County without alarming Ma Zheng's subordinates. In view of this situation, Major General Tada secretly mobilized paratroopers from an infantry wing to cooperate with the large force. (To be continued.) )
