Shi Qiang commanded three regiments to attack the Daimyo in one go, destroying all four strongholds of the devils in this area, and the three regiments of the New Tenth Brigade even advanced to the Daimyo Castle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The sudden action of the Eighth Route Army greatly alarmed the Japanese army in southern Hebei, so the Japanese army in Handan quickly dispatched, and at the same time, the Japanese army in the direction of Linqing also urgently assembled, and then rushed to the direction of Daimyo.

At this time, the New 11 th Brigade had successfully entered the Jizhong base area. Seeing that the goal of the new 11th Brigade had been achieved, and after receiving Liu Tianshu's order, Shi Qiang immediately commanded the troops and withdrew to the base area to the south.

The Japanese army was relieved to see that the Eighth Route Army had retreated from the north, but the southern Hebei region was tossed twice by the Eighth Route Army, and many strongholds could not be restored for a while, and in the end they could only ensure important towns and some unimportant villages, so they could only give up.

As a result, the guerrillas in southern Hebei have been greatly developed, the county brigades, district squadrons, and so on have been continuously strengthened, and the entire countryside has almost fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

After Okamura Ninz found out that the new 11th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army had entered Jizhong, he had to hold back the idea of mobilizing heavy troops to besiege Jizhong again, because at this time, the long-planned campaign plan of the Japanese base camp to open up the mainland communication line codenamed "Operation No. 1" was about to be implemented.

After the Japanese Navy was beaten by the US Navy in the Pacific, its air force was hit hard by the Chinese and US air forces, and the Southern Army in Burma was in danger of being cut off.

In order to meet the southern army, which was still fighting hard, the Japanese army base camp decided to carry out Operation No. 1 in the Chinese theater and open up the railway transportation line from the northeast to Guangxi.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the No. 1 operational plan, Okamura Ningtz decided to carry out a large-scale sweep of the Jizhong base area of the Eighth Route Army, first, to strengthen the security in the Pingjin area, and second, to cover up the No. 1 operational plan.

Because in order to implement this plan, it was necessary to quietly assemble a large number of Japanese troops.

At this time, all the troops participating in the No. 1 battle plan were in place, and after Okamura Ningci learned that the new 11 th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army had entered Jizhong and that the troops that had gone north to respond had returned to Jiyulu, he decided to implement the No. 1 battle plan according to the predetermined plan.

On April 17, 1944, Okamura Ningci, commander of the Japanese North China Front, commanded five divisions, three independent mixed brigades, one flying regiment, and one unit each of the First Army and the Front Army to launch a surprise attack on the front line of Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and the battle began. Jiang Dingwen, commander of China's First Theater of Operations, commanded about 400,000 men of eight group armies and one corps to respond to the battle, but as soon as the troops of the First Theater came into contact with the Japanese army, except for a few units that bravely resisted, most of the troops were immediately defeated, and in less than two months, the First Theater lost a large number of county seats.

When the Japanese army suddenly attacked central Henan, not only did Liu Tianshu not understand what the Japanese army was going to do, that is, the high-level of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but he also did not expect that the purpose of the Japanese army was to open up the mainland communication line.

However, the Japanese army suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the defense area of the first theater, and as a friendly army, Liu Tianshu still received an order from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to send troops to wait for an opportunity to attack the enemy's logistics and transportation lines.

On the fifth day of the battle, Sun Xuexuan's intelligence department learned that the Japanese army had drawn a large number of troops from southern Hebei, Shandong, central Hebei, and western Hebei, resulting in a serious shortage of Japanese troops in these areas.

Upon learning of this information, Liu Tianshu and Jiang Jinyong naturally would not be polite, and immediately ordered the regiments of the New Ninth Brigade and the New Tenth Brigade to quickly launch an attack on the surrounding Japanese strongholds.

With the cooperation of the underground organizations, many puppet troops knew that the Japanese army had lost its general momentum and was forced to surrender to the Eighth Route Army, and in less than a month, they recovered 11 county towns and doubled the area of the base area.

At the same time as the Hebei-Henan-Lu Military Region launched a local counterattack, the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain, the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, and the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong also immediately seized the opportunity to counterattack, destroying a large number of strongholds of the Japanese puppet army and recovering countless lost territories.

Okamura Ningtz learned that the Eighth Route Army was constantly launching counterattacks in the back, but its elite troops were all invested in the No. 1 battle plan, and they could not draw troops to contain it at all, and in the end they could only watch countless county towns fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army one after another.

In June, the Japanese army successfully occupied central Henan and began to advance southward, when the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army sent a telegram to the Hebei-Henan-Shandong Military Region, asking Liu Tianshu to send troops to attack the Pinghan Line to support the actions of the Nationalist government troops in the south.

After Liu Tianshu received the order, he cast his eyes on the front line of Anyang.

That night, the 1st and 2nd regiments of the New Ninth Brigade suddenly appeared near the Pinghan Line between Anyang and Xinxiang.

With the sudden rise of three signal flares, the two regiments suddenly killed, and with the cooperation of the puppet army that had secretly surrendered to the Eighth Route Army, they quickly captured the two strongholds of the Japanese army on the Pinghan line, and then cut off the railway line. With the cooperation of the people who came to cooperate with the road-breaking operation, all the two-kilometer-long railroad tracks were dismantled and lifted, and the roadbed was destroyed.

At dawn, the devils who rushed to reinforce saw the horribly damaged railway, and they really wanted to cry without tears.

The two-kilometer-long railroad track was dismantled, and the railway could not be opened, and finally the Japanese had to urgently bring in the rails from the northeast, and it took five days to finally restore the railway line.

At this moment, in one night, another two-kilometer long railway track in the south was demolished by the Eighth Route Army.

Okamura Nintz learned that the Eighth Route Army had begun to carry out a road-breaking operation again, and the black lines on his face were soaring, and the purpose of the No. 1 operation plan was to open up the transportation line and destroy the military airfield of the Chinese and American air forces. Now the imperial army has opened up the Pinghan Railway, and is currently fighting the front line in southern Hunan, but the Eighth Route Army is running to break the road at this time, so how meaningful is the railway transportation line that it has finally opened up?

Thinking of this, Okamura Ningtz couldn't help sighing, alas, he blamed himself for being soft-spoken, although he is now the commander of the North China Front, but in the eyes of the guys in the base camp, how can the status of the army be compared to the navy of the empire.

Although the empire's huge navy is now beaten by the United States at all.

The battle in the south has its own 11th Army and 13th Army to deal with, so let's clean up our own back garden.

The defeat of the troops in the First Theater in central Henan greatly relieved the Japanese army in North China, so one day in June, a wing of the Japanese army suddenly appeared at the foot of Yuniu Mountain.

The newly formed 19th Army of the Central Army, which was originally active in Yuniu Mountain, finally left only more than 3,000 remnants after holding out in this area for several years, and the rest were either killed in the battle with the Japanese army, or were commended by the upper peak and transferred back to the war zone.

With the fall of Yuzhong, the remnants of the newly formed 19th Army active in Yuniu Mountain became helpless orphans.

Shi Yong, the commander of the 27th Regiment of the newly formed 19th Army, stood in the Niutanggou regiment headquarters in Yuniu Mountain, his face was covered with gloomy clouds.

Since the departure of Division Commander Jing, Shi Yong has been squeezed out by Tang Guo, and the 27th Regiment has also suffered a lot of losses because of Tang Guo's incompetence.

It was only because Tang Guo had someone to support him above, and in the end, Tang Guo was transferred back to the war zone, while the 27th and 29th regiments stayed in Yulan Mountain.

The 29th Regiment was stationed in the western part of Yuniu Mountain, and the 27th Regiment was stationed in the northeast of Yuniu Mountain.

"Tuanza, the information has been confirmed, you better get an idea. Otherwise, when the Japanese army surrounds them, the brothers may not be able to leave even if they want to. Deputy head Qin Ke looked at Shi Yong and said anxiously.

"Deputy Qin, is Captain Niu really secretly colluding with the Japanese?" Shi Yong still didn't believe it.

"This is true, one of my brothers ushered in the restaurant in Xinhe Town, and personally heard the discussion between Captain Niu and Long Yaozu." Qin Ke said hurriedly.

Long Yaozu, Shi Yong knows, he is a famous landlord in Xinhe Town, and a famous traitor in Chen County, and his son works as a translator for Captain Zhongchuan in Chen County.

", what's all that?" When Shi Yong heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, he didn't expect that the 29th Regiment was ready to defect to the Japanese.

If the 29th Regiment really took refuge with the Japanese, relying only on the more than 1,000 brothers of the 27th Regiment, not to mention sticking to Yuniu Mountain, even if it broke through, there was no hope.

You must know that even when the Japanese army in North China launched Operation No. 1, it did not relax its encirclement of Yuniu Mountain.

And now, the Japanese army in North China has occupied central Henan, and the Japanese army around Yuniu Mountain has as many as one wing. Coupled with the puppet army in the surrounding strongholds, it is several times more than himself.

Seeing Qin Ke looking at him with blank eyes, Shi Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Deputy Qin, since Shangfeng can't send troops to reinforce, and the surnamed Niu is ready to stick a knife in his back, we can only rely on ourselves to fight our way out of the encirclement." The troops were ordered to be ready for battle and break through from the southeast tonight. ”

Rushing from the southeast direction of Yuniu Mountain, as long as you pass through the 50-kilometer defense area of the Japanese puppet army, you can reach the Hebei-Henan-Lu base area of the Eighth Route Army.

Although between the two places, the devils have arranged a full brigade of troops, and there is also a blockade line composed of large and small strongholds, but there is still a little hope for breaking through from this side, and breaking through from other directions is simply self-defeating.

"Tuanza, do you mean we're going to cast eight roads?" Qin Ke's eyes lit up.

You must know that in a radius of 200 kilometers around Yuniu Mountain, except for the Eighth Route Army, there is not a single friendly army at all, and the headquarters of the theater commander has withdrawn south, and it is impossible to provide reinforcements for himself.

In addition to taking refuge in the Eighth Road, Qin Ke didn't think there was any other way to go.

"Yes, it's really not possible, let's go to the Eighth Route first, Commander Liu of the Eighth Route Army's Hebei-Yulu Military Region, I know this person, he is a trustworthy person, I believe he will not die without help." Shi Yong said calmly.

Hearing this, Qin Ke hurriedly said: "Tuanzuo, you know Commander Liu, this is really good, otherwise, we will send someone to find Commander Liu for help, if he can send troops to respond, we will have a greater chance of successfully breaking through." ”

Shi Yong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Your suggestion is good, let's do it." (To be continued.) )
