Yoshida saw that he was about to rush to the top of the hill guarded by the 27th Regiment, but he did not expect a large number of eight roads to suddenly appear behind him, and as soon as he came up, artillery shells and machine guns hit him desperately, and a squadron arranged behind the command post was defeated in a blink of an eye, and many soldiers ran towards this side with screams.

Yoshida was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the imperial soldiers, who had always been extremely brave, were not opponents of the Eighth Route Army at all.

The chief of staff who was standing on the side, seeing that Yoshida did not react, hurriedly called the soldiers on the side, and retreated north with Yoshida.

Shi Qiang saw that the devil in front of him was under the onslaught of the three regiments and one battalion, and he was defeated and retreated in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but smile on his face. He knew that the devils who stayed in North China to maintain law and order at this time were basically old and weak soldiers.

This is also the inevitable result of the reckless militarism of little Japan, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been fought for so long, and those veterans of little Japan who have been on the battlefield for a long time have either fought to the death with the US army on an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean, or have disappeared without a trace in this world as dust.

In order to maintain the Chinese battlefield, the men in Japan were almost recruited. It is said that even men over the age of 50 and teenagers under the age of 15 have begun to be forcibly conscripted into the army.

It is conceivable how strong the combat effectiveness of these people who have not undergone strict training will be when they are incorporated into the team.

When there are more such people in an army, it is naturally okay to fight a good fight, but to fight a tough and vicious battle, it may be extremely difficult to make these people work hard for the empire.

Yoshida is now encountering this situation, he used two brigades to besiege the 27th Regiment this time, who ever wanted to fight for almost three hours, but still failed to capture the 27th Regiment desperately defended the mountain, so that now, the Eighth Route Army suddenly killed, and it is reasonable for these Japanese troops to retreat.

Shi Qiang saw that the devil began to retreat, so he naturally took advantage of his illness and wanted his life, and immediately ordered the two regiments to quickly pounce.

Shi Yong seized the time to launch a counterattack, and killed the devils who rushed up at once, and these devils who were defeated and retreated, just ran out of three hundred meters, and encountered a fierce blow from the Eighth Route Army, and the entire army immediately became chaotic.

Shi Qiang and Shi Yong commanded the troops to chase after the victory, and chased Yoshida for ten miles, and saw Yoshida running into a stronghold in front with his troops, so they stopped the pursuit.

In this pursuit battle, Yoshida lost almost a brigade of troops, and the rest of the soldiers were also in shock.

"Captain Shi, we are too late to make our brothers suffer." Seeing Shi Yong coming, Shi Qiang took two steps forward and said with some regret.

After receiving Commander Liu's order, he immediately rushed north with his troops, but he was still a step late, and when he saw that there were only more than 500 officers and soldiers left in the 27th Regiment covered in gunpowder, his heart was heavy.

If he had arrived an hour earlier, he might have saved the lives of hundreds of brothers of the 27th Regiment.

"Brigade Commander Shi, thanks to your timely arrival this time, this life-saving grace must be remembered by the whole regiment of my 27th Regiment." Shi Yong saw the wounded soldiers around him, and his heart was also miserable.

After this battle, the 27th Regiment was greatly damaged.

Seeing the sad and indignant appearance of the soldiers of the 27th Regiment around him, Shi Qiang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Commander Shi, the brothers of the 27th Regiment are all good, don't worry, we will settle this account with the little devil sooner or later." By the way, I wonder what Captain Shi plans next? Why don't you stay in our base with your brothers for the time being? ”

The 27th Regiment belongs to the troops of the first war zone, although the first war zone was defeated by the little devils, and the commander's headquarters was withdrawn thousands of miles away, but as a friendly army, Shi Qiang still paid great attention to proportion.

"On behalf of the 27th Regiment, I would like to thank the Eighth Route Army for its kindness, we have lost contact with the war zone now, and I am afraid that Yuniu Mountain will not be able to stay, so I will listen to Brigade Commander Shi." Shi Yong glanced back at the Yuniu Mountain in the distance and said very heavily.

After the two talked for a while, the commander of the third regiment of the new 10th Brigade who led the troops to pursue the devil came over: "Report to the brigade commander, the little devil has fled to Xinhe Town, how will the troops act next?" ”

"This little devil is running quite fast, in this way, the third regiment commander, your regiment is responsible for clearing all the Japanese puppet strongholds east of Qingxinhe Town, and the independent regiment is responsible for clearing the enemy on the eastern side of Yuniu Mountain. By the way, Captain Shi, would you and your brothers prefer to stay in Yuniu Mountain, or go to our base area to rest first? After Shi Qiang gave the order to the two regiment commanders, he looked at Shi Yong and said.

He has given up the Yuniu Mountain base, if he proposes to return to Yuniu Mountain with the troops at this time, Shi Yong feels that it is not righteous, besides, even if he returns to Yuniu Mountain with the troops, the more than 100 wounded soldiers in the army alone are enough for him to break his brain, if he can go to the base of the Eighth Route Army, with the benevolence of the Eighth Route Army, these injured brothers will at least have a chance to live.

"Brigade Commander Shi, since Commander Mengliu will not give up, I think we should go to your base for the time being, let's rest and recuperate first." Shi Yong sighed and said.

I held on to Yuniu Mountain for several years, but I finally lost it, and now I look at the appearance of Brigade Commander Shi, I want to recover Yuniu Mountain immediately.

But even if this Yuniu Mountain is recovered, it should be the Eighth Route Army, and it has little to do with itself.

"It's okay, Staff Officer Tian, you accompany Commander Shi and them back to the base area, and go to Luojiazhai to rest first." Shi Qiang immediately ordered.

Shi Yong took his brother to follow Staff Officer Tian to Luojiazhai, and was immediately warmly received by the Eighth Route Army, and the wounded soldiers of the 27th Regiment were immediately treated by the Eighth Route Army.

The next day, Liu Tianshu and Political Commissar Jiang personally went to Luojiazhai to visit the officers and soldiers of the 27th Regiment, and then had a deep talk with Shi Yong.

In the following days, the troops of the Hebei-Henan-Lu Military Region seized the favorable opportunity when the main force of the Japanese army was still in central Henan, and uprooted all the Japanese puppet strongholds in the area around Yuniu Mountain, and the base area immediately developed to a place not far south of Linqing.

In the winter of '44, the mountains of Yan'an were covered with snow, and everywhere was a world of pink makeup.

In a warm cave, the chairman sat around with several leaders of the Central Military Commission.

"Chairman, according to the report from the front, there are many baby soldiers in the ranks of the Japanese army, and there are some old men who are trembling with guns, and their combat effectiveness is declining compared with a few years ago. It seems that the source of the little devil's troops has been exhausted, and the combat missions of each base area should not be adjusted. The boss took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the chairman.

"I think the boss's suggestion is feasible, I have thought about it seriously in the past two days, the devils around the Taihang Taiyue base have been sucked away in large quantities, and they can no longer pose a threat to the two major bases of Taihang and Taiyue, I see if I can let the troops of the Taiyue Military Region cross the Pinghan Line and take over the Hebei-Henan-Lu Military Region, and let Liu Tianshu take the main force of the original Hebei-Henan-Lu Military Region to the north. Isn't Liu Tianshu's new 11th Brigade still in Jizhong, I think it's time for it to be rebuilt. The chairman nodded and said with a far-reaching gaze.

"Let Liu Tianshu go north? Does the chairman mean to prepare for the future Northeast? The boss's eyes lit up and he said.

"Boss, several, the U.S. military has broken through the devil's defensive circle in the Pacific Ocean and began to bomb the Japanese mainland, and in the European theater, the Allies are also making rapid progress. If nothing else, I estimate that the war will end within two years, and the Northeast not only has fertile black soil, but also a relatively complete industrial system, although we do not want to have a war after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, but we must prepare for war in advance. We have learned the Chiang in Chongqing, and we can't put the hope of peace entirely on him. As the chairman spoke, his eyes looked through the smoke rings, which seemed to reach the far northeast.

Just two days before the end of the 44th year, the orders of the Central Military Commission and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army arrived, making the main force of the Hebei-Henan-Shandong Military Region ready to go north to eastern Hebei at any time.

In accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Liu Tianshu and Jiang Jinyong, as well as the leaders of the first cadres of the headquarters, immediately reorganized the troops of the military region, and the units under the New Ninth Brigade and the New Tenth Brigade transferred personnel from various local units to supplement them, and the special service regiment directly under the military region began to send countless combat groups north in advance to reconnoiter the enemy's situation along the line from southern Hebei to eastern Hebei.

At this time, the Japanese army had already ended the No. 1 battle plan, but its strength in Pingjin was only two divisions and one independent mixed brigade, plus the troops in Baoding Shijiazhuang, there were only four divisions.

These forces are naturally stretched to guard so many large cities and railway lines.

In particular, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, which sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, made the Japanese army even more defenseless. Many villages, even unimportant county seats, have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and it is even more rare to send troops to the countryside to sweep up.

Just after the Spring Festival, the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army of the Taiyue Military Region quietly entered the Hebei-Henan-Lu base area, and after the Lantern Festival, the eastward advance column of the Eighth Route Army, composed of the new 9th Brigade, the New 10th Brigade, and the New 11th Brigade, immediately left the Hebei-Henan-Lu base area and rapidly advanced northward.

The New 11 Brigade was ready to respond in Jizhong, Liu Tianshu took the New 10 Brigade as the vanguard, and the column directly followed up, and the New 11 Brigade was responsible for the break, and the whole column did not include the New 11 Brigade with a total of more than 15,000 people, like a rolling torrent, surging northward.

Although the devil's plane came from time to time, causing some inconvenience to the troops, it was impossible for the devil's plane to stay in the air for a long time, and after the Japanese planes in North China were attacked by the Chinese and US air forces, there was not much left, and it was impossible to stop the eastward column from moving north.

As for the large and small strongholds along the way, they were all pulled out by the autumn wind of the New Ninth Brigade, but when the devil saw this scene, he could only watch it, and he didn't dare to send reinforcements at all.

Later, after learning that the eastward column was coming, the Japanese army simply abandoned those small strongholds and instead gathered their troops on the Pingjin line to prevent the eastward column from attacking Beiping and Tianjin.
