Besides, the tens of thousands of Japanese troops under Kimura Hyotaro did not immediately go south to fight after arriving at Shimen, but began to attack the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army along the railway. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, Shimen is still a long way from southern Hebei, but in view of the extremely rampant Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei, and even contributed to Shimen some time ago, so for safety, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro placed the logistics base in Shimen.

Speaking of Shimen, everyone may not know what place it is, but when it comes to Shijiazhuang, everyone is certainly no stranger. Because it is the capital city of Hebei Province, everyone will definitely say Shijiazhuang when they mention Hebei now. But few people know that Shimen is actually Shijiazhuang.

Shimen can be said to be the youngest city in the country, from the establishment of the city in 1925, it has only been 14 years.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Shijiazhuang was really called Shijiazhuang Village, a real small and medium-sized village in Hebei Province, with only 93 households and 578 people, covering an area of about 0.1 square kilometers.

Historical events are like a kaleidoscope, leaving the world overwhelmed. Due to accidental factors, Shijiazhuang became the intersection of two railways, and this brought about a major change in a region at the beginning of the century, a rural village was held up by the rumbling wheels, so that the political, economic, military, and cultural center of a region moved south, first replacing Zhengding, and then replacing Baoding, and becoming an important town in North China that controls the south gate of Yanjing, chokes the throat of Hebei and Jin, and connects the Qilu Central Plains.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Shijiazhuang was still a small village under the jurisdiction of Lulu County, and at that time, Lulu was the cargo distribution center of Tongyan Zhao and Liansanjin, known as the "dry wharf of the daily gold". However, with the construction and opening of the Zhengtai Railway, the dry wharf of Rijin Doujin gradually moved eastward, and Shijiazhuang's commercial and service industries became more and more prosperous, gradually replacing the status of the deer and becoming a new center of economy, culture, transportation, postal and communication in this area.

After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the invading Japanese army occupied the Pingjin area at the end of August, and then launched a large-scale attack on North China with 300,000 troops by land, sea and air along the main railway lines of Pingsui, Pinghan and Tianjin-Pu. Although the Chinese defenders along the route fought hard, they were unable to stop the Japanese advance southward. In just three months, most of Shijiazhuang's counties, except for Shenze and Jinxian, fell into the hands of the enemy. Everywhere the Japanese army went, they burned, killed, and plundered, committing all kinds of evil, causing a horrific tragedy.

Shimen, such an important transportation hub, must be the focus of the Japanese army's contention, and on October 10, 1937, the Japanese invading army invaded Shimen. Since the invaders stepped into the beautiful and rich land of Shijiazhuang, they have taken this place as the rear base and base camp for their invasion of North China and even the whole of China, occupying large tracts of fertile land, building barracks, digging trenches, paving roads and bridges, opening airports, supporting local puppets, establishing puppet regimes, establishing consulates, and opening businesses.

The ambitious Japanese army threatened to build Shijiazhuang into one of the six major cities in North China, in a vain attempt to strengthen its long-term rule and occupation of central and southern Hebei with this as the center. After the Japanese invading army occupied Shimen, it stationed one-third of the total strength of the Japanese army in North China in this area. From the first commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi to the current General Tada Jun, they all attached great importance to the transportation status of Shimen, and the Japanese army adopted a series of measures to cultivate Shimen into a military base for long-term occupation of North China.

After the Japanese occupied Shimen, both the Nationalist Government and the Eighth Route Army sent a large number of troops to fight for this area, and after the failure of the head-on battle, they went underground to fight, and then formed guerrilla units and night raid teams to destroy, and the Chinese tried every means to prevent the Zhengtai Railway and other transportation arteries from serving the Japanese army.

The unscrupulous resistance of the Chinese people is still very powerful; when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression just broke out, the Zhengtai Railway was paralyzed once in three days and two days, and the Japanese military columns that derailed and overturned were also one after another, so the Japanese army had to set up a railway road patrol unit equipped with patrol combat vehicles.

But guerrilla warfare is a tactic rooted in the masses of the people, and where there are Chinese there are guerrillas, and where there are villages, there are guerrillas. Even though the Japanese army sent a large force to sweep many times, the guerrilla threat to Shimen railway traffic still existed. Therefore, after Kimura Hyotaro led his troops to Shimen, he did not dare to go south, because all the supplies of his troops had to be transported to the battlefield in the south through the railway line of Shimen, and if the railway line of Shimen was cut off or destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Originally, Lieutenant General Tada Jun sent Numata Shigetoku to sweep Jizhong and Beiyue Mountains in order to contain the two most active Eighth Route Army units in Hebei and indirectly support Kimura Hyotaro's southern front operations. But it's a pity that Numata Shigetoku is too angry, and he was sent to see Amaterasu by the Eighth Route Army in less than 10 days after arriving in Jizhong, and the news of Numata Shigetoku's death was received before Lieutenant General Kimura's sweep began, and Lieutenant General Kimura was dumbfounded.

The death of Numata Shigetoku still had a great impact on Kimura Hyotaro, and the originally solid rear defense line was torn apart at once, once the troops of the Jizhong Military Region and the troops of the Jinchaji Military Region suddenly moved south, then Kimura Hyotaro was likely to be attacked from both sides by the Eighth Route Army.

It is not a good feeling to be attacked on the belly and back, especially when surrounded by an extremely strong fighting force. So on the one hand, Kimura Hyotaro sent people to continue to force Ishiyuzo to surrender, and on the other hand, he concentrated all his troops to sweep the Chinese/army near Ishimon.

The main target of Kimura Hyotaro's department was the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the counties and townships around Shimen, so a large number of Japanese troops poured into the Chinese countryside like locusts, burning, killing and looting, not to mention, what is even more odious is that the Japanese army completely arrested all the young and middle-aged men and women in the counties and townships around Shimen to Shimen County, on the one hand, forcing these people to build fortifications, and on the other hand, they concentrated on guarding these Chinese farmers.

In Kimura's words, the guerrillas are also human beings, and as long as all the young and middle-aged people in Shimen are eliminated, the guerrillas in Shina will have no basis for existence, and the "banditry trouble" in Jizhong will be completely solved.

In fact, the idea of killing all Chinese and then immigrating to the Japanese to live was common in Japan at that time, and it was not uncommon for Japanese soldiers to hold this view. At that time, the invasion of China was the most basic premise, and on the basis of agreeing with this premise, the Japanese soldiers still held two views, the first was the above-mentioned theory of extermination, which was to annex the whole of China to Japan by destroying the existing races on Chinese soil.

The second view was to support the establishment of a puppet regime in China, to rule China through a puppet regime, and then to achieve the goal of complete subjugation of China through enslavement education, which was the mainstream at that time.

Obviously, Lieutenant General Kimura's views are extermination, so it is not uncommon for his troops to massacre Chinese civilians. So when Ma Zheng heard that the supreme commander of the Japanese army attacking southern Hebei this time was Kimura, his heart was unbalanced.

The total annihilation of an infantry division of the Japanese army was an order issued by Ma Zheng to the entire southern Hebei army, and at the same time, it was not a spur to himself. Ma Zheng, a war criminal who invaded China, is very familiar with Kimura Hyotaro, and you must know that Kimura Hyotaro was the last Japanese war criminal to be hanged after the war. Now that this bastard has committed it in his own hands, Ma Zheng will never allow this bastard to leave like this.

Ma Zheng, a senior commander of Japan, has always been treated differently, for those officers who have not done much evil, they will not kill if they can, but for those who are notorious, they will definitely be killed at any cost, Hasunuma Pan is, Takamori Koichi, and Kimura Hyotaro are the same.

The reason why Ma Zheng hates Kimura Hyotaro so much is mainly because there are so many evil things committed by this person that it is simply too many to mention. Compared to this bastard, "*** Numata Shigetoku is as harmless as a white rabbit." And Kimura Hyotaro is recognized as the most cruel person in the Japanese army, and sometimes some of the actions of this bastard are difficult for even the Japanese themselves to accept, to paraphrase a modern word, this person can be called a pervert.
