[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 575: The panicked Japanese army (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

There is no doubt that they have indeed made a fortune, not to mention these seizures, but the property confiscated from the gathering area of a Japanese company in the east of the city also made Xie Wensheng and others smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are more than 16 million oceans, more than 600 kilograms of gold, and countless counterfeit money, military tickets, fiat currency, US dollars, etc., and more than a dozen cars of antique cultural relics. The various machines and equipment of these companies are innumerable, and their value is also quite amazing.

For these Japanese materials, Xie Wensheng only has two words - confiscation.

In addition to the confiscation of goods, people are also among the confiscated. Those Japanese ronins who were lucky not to be killed were immediately pulled out and shot, and ordinary people were directly put in prison. Xie Wensheng is different from Ma Zheng, Ma Zheng has never been in a prisoner of war camp of the Japanese army, so although he also has some hatred for Japanese civilians, he will not kill him.

But Xie Wensheng was different, he was captured in the Battle of Tianzhen before the Battle of Datong, and then transferred to the Yangyuan prisoner of war camp, and sent to the coal mine to dig coal. In that period of more than a year, Xie Wensheng did not know how many tragedies he had witnessed in the massacre and abuse of possession to death, so no one hated the Japanese more than Xie Wensheng, and even these Japanese civilians deserved to die in his eyes.

Therefore, Xie Wensheng is much more ruthless than Ma Zheng, regardless of men, women, young and old, as long as they are Japanese, they will all be thrown into prison, there is nothing to say.

After receiving the news that Shimen had been conquered, Xie Wensheng immediately moved his headquarters to Shimen and personally commanded it. While he ordered his troops to move supplies, he ordered them to build fortifications. Once the news of Shimen being conquered spreads, the first army of Shanxi will become the king of the urn, and the old devil Sugiyama Yuan will definitely not be able to sit still, and he will definitely order the troops to return to Shimen.

Sure enough, when the news of Shimen's domestic capture by the Chinese army reached Taiyuan, General Umezu Mijiro was shocked, and he was well aware of the importance of Shimen to the Japanese Imperial Army, especially the First Army stationed in Shanxi. Once Shimen changed hands, the Zhengtai Railway was completely interrupted.

As soon as the Zhengtai Railway was broken, the supply line of the First Army was cut off, and the food and clothing of tens of thousands of troops became a problem. The most important thing is ammunition, without ammunition and armament is a pile of scrap metal, and there is no arsenal in Taiyuan City, General Umezu Mijiro suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation.

At this time, General Umezu Mijiro also saw Ma Zheng's purpose clearly, and the dispatch of tens of thousands of troops was just a cover, although the two sides fought fiercely, but the real killing move was not in Shanxi, but in Hebei, in Shimen.

As long as the stone gate is guarded, it won't be long before your first army will collapse without a fight, and there is no way to break through, ruthless!

It was learned that only a local unit of the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei was captured by Shimen, with a total strength of less than 10,000 people. General Umezu Yoshijiro immediately ordered the remnants of the 108th Division, which had just passed Niangzi Pass, together with the defenders of Yangquan and other places, to immediately return to Shimen to recapture this important transportation hub.

At the same time, Umezu Yoshijiro also sent a telegram to the headquarters of the North China Front, bitterly stating the interests and disadvantages, and requesting that the Front Army immediately send troops to open up the Zhengtai Line so as to avoid an irretrievable situation, which actually refers to the total annihilation of the First Army in Shanxi.

Shimen was conquered, and the North China Front's plan to capture Zhangjiakou had to be put on hold. Otherwise, before they could break through the defense line of Ma Zheng's department, the First Army would be eaten. The defeat of the Mongolian army by the Eighth Route Army was enough to make the Japanese Empire lose face, and if the First Army was annihilated again, His Majesty the Emperor's anger would completely burn all the officers of the entire dispatch army, and he Sugiyama would bear the brunt.

In desperation, Sugiyama Motomo had no choice but to order the Fifth Division, which was closest to Shimen, to speed up and rush to Shimen, and authorized Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi, the commander of the Fifth Division, to take full command of the imperial forces around Shimen and quickly recapture Shimen from the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, Sugiyama Moto, at one time, sent a telegram to Yamashita Fengwen on the Zhangjiakou front, ordering the Japanese troops on the Zhangjiakou front to take Zhangjiakou at all costs, and for the first time, Yamashita Fengwen was given a time limit of 3 days, and Zhangjiakou must be taken within three days, otherwise the battle plan to capture Zhangjiakou will be aborted.

Sugiyama Yuan is ready to give it a go, he knows very well what three days means, if the troops on the Zhangjiakou front line can't take Zhangjiakou within three days, Ma Zheng's department, which has occupied Yuanping, will take Xinkou, and then the first army in Shanxi, which is running out of ammunition and food, will be in danger, so these three days will be a critical time node for the success or failure of the battle.

The commander of the North China Front Army analyzed it very thoroughly and thought beautifully, but whether Ma Zheng, who had been prepared for a long time, would let them get their wish, the answer was obvious.

The news of the Eighth Route Army's capture of Shimen spread far and wide, which surprised and ecstatic Lao Jiang in Chongqing and Yan Lao Han in Shanxi. The importance of Shimen to the Japanese army is very clear to these two, if Shimen is lost, not only the Zhengtai Railway will be interrupted, but also the Pinghan Railway will stop at Shimen, this problem is no less than a disaster for the Japanese army.

Immediately, Lao Jiang personally sent a congratulatory telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time ordered the Eighth Route Army to hold Shimen for one month.

Ma Zheng smiled disdainfully after reading the telegram, a month, he Jiang bald head can think of it. If he guards Shimen for a month and does not retreat, then the main forces of the entire North China Front will all open fire on him, which is not a good thing for the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, the stone gate must be defended, but it cannot be defended, and the troops will have to withdraw after subduing Taiyuan, and if they do not withdraw, the consequences will be very serious.

For Ma Zheng's hand, Yan Laoxi also felt very amazing. The Eighth Route Army of the Dark Road really has some doorways, and this method of killing with one blow from east to west is skillful, and the Japanese have been unlucky for eight lifetimes when they meet him.

At the same time, the old man is full of confidence in recovering Taiyuan again, without the Zhengtai Railway, the first army is equivalent to weaning, and if he can't kill this group of bitch beasts, he Yan Laoxi is incompetent. Moreover, an army without logistical support is equivalent to water without a source and a tree without roots, and it will always consume them to death if it takes a few more days.

Now Yan Laoxi is most worried about whether the troops of the Eighth Route Army can hold Shimen, a strategic place, and how long they can hold it, you must know that the powerful Fifth Division of the Japanese army has entered Hengshui, Hebei, which is two days away from Shimen. For this reason, the old man personally sent a report to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, asking if he needed to send an army to reinforce him.

Mr. Zhu and the others hoped that the old man would send a force to relieve the pressure on Ma Zheng and the others, but after asking Ma Zheng, they rejected Yan Xishan's kindness. To be honest, Ma Zheng did not believe in the combat effectiveness of the troops in the hands of Yan Laoxi, as far as the entire eight-year War of Resistance was concerned, the performance of the Jin Sui army was very bad, and the battle record that could be won was the battle of Fu Yisheng's troops in Wuyuan.

But now that Fu Yisheng has set up his own door, and the 35th Army under his command has all been assigned to the Eighth War Zone, the remaining troops in Yan Laoxi's hands are worrisome in combat effectiveness. The second is that Shimen is now hoarding a large amount of materials and equipment, and these things can't fall into the hands of others, let alone let others get involved, so after thinking about it, Ma Zheng still rejected Yan Laoxi's kindness.

Although he rejected Yan Laoxi's kindness, Ma Zheng still did not dare to be careless about the defensive task in the Shimen area, except for ordering Xie Wensheng's entire army to enter Shimen and build fortifications. At the same time, Ma Zheng ordered Liang Shangren's brigade to immediately move north along Handan to reinforce Shimen. In addition, they also called the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, hoping that the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the 129th Division could also cooperate with them and send powerful troops to coordinate the defense of Shimen.

In addition to weapons and equipment, there were also a large amount of food and clothing, and even thousands of tons of coal, timber and iron ore that had been plundered by the Japanese army, all of which had to be transferred.

In response to Ma Zheng's request, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army naturally would not refuse, and immediately called the joint headquarters that had not yet been disbanded, ordering the 129th Division and the headquarters of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to immediately move closer to the Shimen area, and capture Luquan, Lingshou, Pingding, and other counties to cooperate with Ma Zheng's headquarters.
