Chapter 155: Warming Up Before the Great War!
Although the fighting on the front line continued, the blocking forces of the Kwantung Army, as he had guessed, began to retreat to the place where the fortifications had been built in the rear, and to block the attack together with the defenders there.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army, which attacked the Japanese puppet army in various places, also adjusted their combat deployment after receiving the order from the former commander of the Noji. Send more engineering units to the rear of the attacking troops.
In those dangerous places that were conducive to defense, the Eighth Route Army also dispatched engineering troops to build fortifications with local people. This situation also surprised and relieved the Kwantung Army, which had learned the news.
Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army's offensive edge seemed to be at the end of its strength, and it did not continue to attack the hinterland of the northeast of Guandong as they feared, and it seemed that they knew that they were going to stop.
With a long sigh of relief, it was natural that if the Eighth Route Army stopped attacking, it began to go on the defensive. Then the Kwantung Army can also concentrate on dealing with the Soviet Far Eastern Army, which has already achieved a certain victory, and may have a chance to reverse the defeat.
It's just that after receiving the information collected from the front line by the special high school, Mei Xianzhi Meilang said with a serious expression: "During this time, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, who commanded the invasion of our defense area, is it confirmed that it is He Zhengdao?" ā
'Yes, General! According to the information we have obtained, the units of the Eighth Route Army that fought against us this time were all under the command of this He Zhengdao. It can be said that this person is a big problem for our army! ā
The intelligence officer naturally hated He Zhengdao, who was on their key blacklist. It was in the hands of He Zhengdao that the special high school and many units of the Japanese army were repeatedly planted in the hands of the other party.
It is a pity that the special high school also organized an assassination operation against He Zhengdao. It's just that so far, what makes the intelligence department of the Special High School embarrassed is that many times they don't even know where He Zhengdao is, so how can they talk about assassination?
In addition, He Zhengdao himself is a master of technical warfare, and he also has an elite guard by his side. If they want to assassinate He Zhengdao, the people in the special high class also know that this is an unlikely task.
In the face of the intelligence officer's exclamation, Mei Xianji Miro also agreed: "Indeed! Not to mention that since this man led the army, we have lost too many troops at the hands of this person, and he has a lot of blood debts to us.
But it is surprising that this man is so young and has such a superb command talent. Most importantly, this person commands in a way that is often unexpected. This time, for example, he abruptly stopped attacking our defense.
In fact, the reason why I agreed earlier that the troops kept retreating was because I wanted to lose to them the territory that was not too important to us. If they fail to control the situation there, they may cause instability in the rear.
And the more they encroach on our defense areas, the longer their strategic supply lines will stretch. Compared with the supply conditions of our army, their supply is far from being as good as ours. A longer battle line means that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.
But no one expected that when he saw that we were deliberately retreating, he would give up the opportunity to attack Fengtian and Ji Provinces, and resolutely transfer a large number of main forces back to the rear. This man's political strategy and vision are extremely terrifying! ā
Regarding Mei Xianjimeilang's evaluation of himself, He Zhengdao naturally doesn't care too much. After determining the next operational deployment of the Northeast Field Army, He Zhengdao asked the three columns to withdraw some of the main forces from the front line one after another.
With the withdrawal of these main forces, they began to join in the work of maintaining local law and order. Many of the bandits who roamed during the war naturally suffered from the catastrophe of annihilation. On the other hand, the people in the liberated areas warmly welcomed this.
Looking at the batches of old bandits who have done a lot of evil, they have all been wiped out by the main force of the Eighth Route Army and accepted public trial. Those people in the local area who had bad intentions also began to become honest and did not dare to resist the local policies of the Eighth Route Army too much.
On the other hand, many ordinary people, looking at the fields that have been allocated to them one after another, as well as the militia squads and village offices that have been formed in the villages, feel that their lives are really changing. Maybe it won't be long before they can make a good living.
Regarding the affairs of the liberated areas, He Zhengdao did not interfere too much, and handed over these political affairs to Chen Yun to be responsible. As for He Zhengdao himself, he plans to take this opportunity to go back to Yan'an to visit his pregnant wife.
Of course, when leaving Duolun, He Zhengdao issued a combat order to the three columns and the first column. That is, one of the main divisions of the column was deployed to the area where it confronted the Japanese army in North China, posing a threat to the Japanese army in North China.
And He Zhengdao believed that after this move was made, it would at least attract the nervousness of the Japanese army in North China. At that time, the focus of their defense will inevitably be placed on the Northeast Field Army, which will also share the pressure on other combat units.
Although it is not clear when the headquarters will decide to attack North China, He Zhengdao has always felt it. In this situation, if the entire territory of North China can be recovered, it will also be extremely powerful for the Northeast Field Army in the next step.
At least don't worry too much, these Japanese troops stationed in North China will give the Northeast Field Army a shot from behind at an extremely critical time. This is also the reason why He Zhengdao decided to postpone the offensive in the northeast.
A stable rear is the strongest backing for front-line combat units. The strategic significance of North China is undoubtedly very important to the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War in China. The role of the party and the army is also immeasurable.
If the entire territory of North China can be recovered before the year, then from next year, the Eighth Route Army will truly have the right and status on a par with the Nationalist Government. It is believed that such a great victory will also make more speculators optimistic about the future of the Eighth Route Army.
Although He Zhengdao knew that it would be easier than the Eighth Route Army to recover the north, he was afraid that he would encounter a lot of resistance when he marched into the south in the future. But as long as the Eighth Route Army has an overwhelming advantage, I believe that some people in the Nationalist Government will also make a wise choice.
In this way, perhaps after the end of the war, the harrowing civil war could have been avoided. Of course, this is just an expectation. But from a practical point of view, He Zhengdao also knows that this expectation is a bit too taken for granted.
Even if Lao Jiang himself admits defeat, it is impossible for those who support him to make Lao Jiang obediently admit defeat. This means that if the Eighth Route Army wants to gain the dominance of forming a new country, it still needs to use fists and sticks together!
Sure enough, with the main division of the Northeast Field Army, it suddenly marched to the Beiping side. Okamura Ninji, who learned the news, was also nervous, and urgently ordered the reserve troops to enter the defensive positions on the front line.
On the other hand, Mr. Zhu and others, who learned the news, naturally looked very happy when they saw that some of the reserve troops deployed by the North China Front Army in Beiping and Tianxian were also transferred to the front line to defend against He Zhengdao's troops.
'This kid seems to have really made a name for himself and prestige!' As soon as his troops moved, the little devil was extremely nervous. With that kid's troops staying there, I believe that the little devil would not dare to transfer back the troops that were transferred over easily.
It seems that the time has come for the rest of our troops to move appropriately. I think it's a good idea to warm up the atmosphere of the big war. Most importantly, I also want to see if the little devils in North China can apply for reinforcements from other places. ā
For the campaign to recover North China in the second half of the year, Mr. Zhu felt that he would go out in person, and the whole army would cooperate. In any case, as the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, it is time for such an important battle to show his face and make a name.
After receiving the telegram sent by General Manager Zhu, some of the troops that had just completed the reorganization were also pulled to the front line one after another to fight the little devils who had built defensive positions.
Of course, all the troops in this confrontation appeared to be very restrained. What's more, it is better to let the newly expanded troops run in on the battlefield, strive to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops as soon as possible, and prepare for the follow-up war.
It's just that the actions of the Eighth Route Army made Okamura Ningji extremely nervous and said: "Baga! It seems that the Eighth Route Army really wants to attack in a big way. But the question is, which road is his main force? ā
For the North China Front, which now has only one Tianyuan outlet to the sea, there are too many places to defend. On the contrary, there are too many places suitable for the Eighth Route Army to attack and break through, which makes Okamura Ningji also doubly entangled and headache.
But there is one thing, Okamura Ninji is still starting to deploy. That is, to transfer the assets of the Japanese army in North China as soon as possible, including some Japanese expatriates with relatively important identities, is also prepared for the worst.
On the other hand, at this moment, Okamura Ninji was focusing on Tenken Port, and he also sent an infantry wing to station. Even though the naval officers and sailors in the port were very opposed, Okamura Ninji still didn't pay much attention to it.
The Japanese army began to transfer a large amount of wealth and materials to Tianyan, and soon the local underground party found out relevant information. understood that the little devil was planning to prepare for running away, and felt that something should be done about it.
From the guards around him, He Zhengdao picked out a group of guard troops who were proficient in infiltration and assassination, and cooperated with a saber special operations team to infiltrate Tianyin Harbor. There, cooperate with the underground party to intercept as much as possible what was transferred from Beiping.
Thinking about the precious antiques and cultural relics that were plundered by the little devils during the war of aggression against China, He Zhengdao also felt that something should be done. Even if these things are concerned, not too many people seem to pay attention to the current Eighth Route Army.
But He Zhengdao knows that these antique cultural relics will also be symbols and representatives of China in the future. And these things have fallen overseas, which is undoubtedly a shame for the Chinese people. After all, the reason they fell overseas was plundered.
And sending such a team to Tianyin, He Zhengdao also wanted to have a clearer understanding of the defense situation in Tianyan Port. At least in He Zhengdao's view, if the Eighth Route Army attacks Beiping, Tianyuan is bound to take it in one fell swoop.
But without the Eighth Route Army of the navy, in the absence of a strong air force and fortress artillery, it is unlikely that it will be possible to run Tianyuan Port well. This means that even if Tianyun is liberated, the port must be temporarily closed.
Thinking of this, He Zhengdao felt that he would do some reconnaissance in advance, and then make some targeted arrangements in advance according to what he learned from the reconnaissance. Maybe it will be more beneficial, and the next general attack plan of the headquarters on North China will be!
