I have to say that Tada Jun, the old devil's luck, throughout the three commanders of the North China Front, whether it was the previous Terauchi Shouichi or the later Sugiyama Moto, they all thought of solving the threat of the Eighth Route Army once and for all, but at that time, the Japanese base camp did not realize that the Eighth Route Army had threatened the strategic level of the Japanese army, so it did not fully support the North China Front Army to clear the Eighth Route Army.

But Tada Jun is different, with Ma Zheng's department in recent years of continuous military troops in North China, there are more than 100,000 troops, and the Japanese army lost their armor, which made the base camp also realize that the expansive development of the Eighth Route Army has caused a fatal threat to the Japanese army, so he spared no effort to support Tada Jun, so that he can completely solve the hidden deep military force of the Eighth Route Army.
Originally, Tada Jun was not confident in the comprehensive elimination of the Eighth Route Army, but the performance of the Japanese army in the "Battle of the Central Plains" (Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain) made his eyes shine, although many of the troops were recruits, accounting for more than half, but after all, they were mainly troops in the township, and these people could basically adapt to the rhythm of the war very quickly, and burst out with huge energy and amazing combat effectiveness.
After this battle, Tada Jun is full of confidence in the next battle. More importantly, at this time, the North China Front Army had 12 field divisions and regiments replenished, in addition to 9 mixed brigades and more than 30,000 supplementary troops, and if you count the 6th Brigade of the Heavy Artillery, the 1st Brigade of the Military Police Headquarters in China, the 1st Independent Wing, the 4th Wing, and the Tank Wing, the total strength in Tadajun's hands exceeded 350,000.
Such a powerful configuration is the first time since the establishment of the North China Front, not to mention that it is the first time that commanding an army of nearly 500,000 troops, including the puppet army, is the first time that even Lieutenant General Tada Jun has such an old qualification.
The excited Tada Jun also realized that this was also a rare opportunity for him, if he could solve the Eighth Route Army in the north at one time, then the base camp would definitely show something, and he might even be directly promoted to army general. When he got here, Tada Jun was excited, for an officer like him, who had worked hard step by step to get to the current level, it was already very satisfying to be promoted to the rank of army general.
General Tada's orders were strong, and as the supreme commander of the North China Front, he ordered all units to be ready for battle at all times. At the same time, a wing of reinforcements was allocated to the 32nd Division, which had suffered greater damage in the Zhongtiao Mountain operation. The troops were ordered to speed up their march, to be sure to assemble by January 1, 40, and to engage in a new battle.
This time, Tada Jun had two purposes for the Eighth Route Army, one was to completely solve the threat of the Eighth Route Army, and then concentrate his forces against the Nationalist Government. Another purpose is to use the Eighth Route Army to train troops, just like Ma Zheng used the Japanese army to train soldiers, General Tada Jun also hopes to train a real elite unit for the Imperial Japanese Army through the next battle. Otherwise, the troops, which make up more than half of the troops, will not be of much use.
According to the battle plan, Tada Jun urgently transferred the 32nd and 35th divisions and the 3rd and 7th independent brigades to southern Hebei to participate in the offensive against various units in southern Hebei. The 5th Division, the 20th Division, the 26th Division, the 10th Division, the 110th Division, the Chariot Wing, the Heavy Artillery Brigade and other units with the most powerful combat effectiveness participated in the sweep of Ma Zheng's headquarters along the lines of Ningwuguan, Yuanpingzhen, Yangyuan, and Xuanhua.
The 36th and 37th Divisions, with the cooperation of the 4th Independent Regiment, the 9th Brigade, and the 109th Division, with their relatively weak combat effectiveness, comprehensively attacked the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the 129th and 115th Divisions of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi.
On the Shandong side, the Japanese army launched a full-scale siege of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army with the 21st Division and the 6th and 10th Independent Mixed Brigades as the main force.
On the eastern Hebei front, the First Division of the Kwantung Army used Qinhuangdao as a base to carry out a sweep of the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei, striving to drive the forces of the Eighth Route Army out of the eastern Hebei region.
Tada Jun was ruthless this time, in order to be foolproof, this time he actually did not call a single soldier of the puppet army, but only ordered all the puppet troops to cooperate with the Japanese army that had no offensive combat mission to defend the cities in the rear.
In addition, Tada Jun can be regarded as mobilizing all the troops that can be mobilized, and the troops directly participating in the attack on Ma Zheng's headquarters have reached 5 divisions and two independent infantry brigades with a total of 100,000 people, and the troops participating in the attack on the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi Province have also reached more than 60,000 people in 3 divisions and two independent brigades. Even those who attacked southern Hebei had two divisions and two independent brigades, plus the original troops in southern Hebei, totaling more than 50,000 people.
The Japanese army in the Shandong direction also had one division and two mixed brigades, with a total strength of about 30,000 troops.
On the contrary, the Japanese army attacking the Jizhong Military Region and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was the least, with only one independent mixed brigade, two independent infantry wings, and one cavalry wing, with a total strength of less than 15,000 men.
At the same time, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army forwarded an urgent telegram to Yan'an, ordering Ma Zheng to quickly return to Guisui to command the various units of the Suicha Military Region to carry out counter-sweeping arrangements to deal with the upcoming Japanese attack, while the troops remaining in Shandong were commanded by Xie Wensheng, commander of the Second Brigade of the Independent Division.
It can be seen that the leaders of Yan'an are really anxious this time.
If you want to say that in terms of the military intelligence capability of the Suicha area, Xu Yinghui's intelligence department is of course second to none, but if it is the entire North China and even the entire northern China region, the military command department is undoubtedly the most powerful, followed by the Japanese army's special high class, but to say that the intelligence department is the most mysterious and effective, it is undoubtedly the CCP's special department.
Regarding the Japanese army's decision to attack Ma Zheng's defense area in an all-out way, the intelligence personnel of the special branch who were lurking inside the Japanese army transmitted the information back to Yan'an early, so the chairman and others knew about this matter very early.
Knowing that Tada Jun had mobilized more than 200,000 troops to besiege the Eighth Route Army, and that there were more than 100,000 troops directly used to attack the Suicha Military Region, the chairman and others were in a hurry.
Originally, during this period of time, the Suicha Military Region was also very impressive under the leadership of Yun Jian, but Yan'an knew that Yun Jian would never be able to replace Ma Zheng, let alone that under the crazy attack of more than 100,000 Japanese troops, a Suicha Military Region without Ma Zheng could still repel the Japanese army and achieve a victory in the counter-sweep.
Moreover, Ma Zheng's ability to pull troops can be regarded as making those bigwigs at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army really realize Ma Zheng's ability, and in just a few years, Ma Zheng has developed more than 100 remnants into the most powerful corps in northern China. In Shandong, Ma Zheng also raised an army of 50,000 or 60,000 people within half a year with more than 1,000 people.
What is the concept of more than 50,000 people? You must know that when the Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River in 37, the three divisions added up to only more than 40,000 people, which means that the chairman and others had worked in the revolution for so many years, and before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, they only had a little family background, and Ma Zheng only took a few months to pull up a total number of troops equivalent to the number of troops they had pulled for more than ten years.
What the chairman and others value even more is Ma Zheng's ability to redress the troops, and what the weapons and equipment of the 129th, 115th, and 120th divisions of the Eighth Route Army started when they crossed the Yellow River eastward were in the eyes of everyone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a group of people called Huazi.
Looking at the various units of the Suicha Military Region, not only do they have powerful infantry in formation, but now they also have artillery brigades, tank brigades, and I heard that they have also launched aviation units. Look at the newly established Shandong Independent Division, only a few months after its establishment, there were three fully equipped infantry brigades in the division, including special operations forces and artillery units.
Therefore, the chairman who was far away in Yan'an praised with emotion: "This Ma Zheng is really our lucky general, and his ability, courage, and courage are better than those of Xue Boling and others." ”
It is precisely because of this that after learning of the Japanese army's all-out attack on the Suicha Military Region, the first reaction of the Party Central Committee was to order Ma Zheng to immediately return to the Suicha Military Region to command the operation. (To be continued.) )
