And Mamoru Iinuma and Isamu Yokoyama did not disappoint Tada, and after the war began, they were almost overwhelmed, occupying more than a dozen prefectures and districts east of Qian'an in just one week, including the important town of Lulong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Tada Jun did not expect that Ma Zheng's department would press such a big nail in Qian'an, and in his prediction, the most commonly used tactic of the Eighth Route Army in the case of poor strength was to exchange space for time and retreat all the way to the west.

However, this time the performance of the Eighth Route Army was really unexpected, and instead of retreating, it set up a position in Qian'an to fight a decisive battle with the Imperial Japanese Army. In this way, if the front army does not take Qian'an, whether it is from Changli, Qinhuangdao or Tangshan, the troops are likely to be threatened by the Tuba Road to cut off the back road.

In this way, Qian'an became a bone stuck in the throat of the Japanese North China Front, and it was unpleasant to vomit in the throat, and there was even a danger of suffocation.

Although Qian'an is only a small place, and the county seat of Qian'an is only a small part of the size of a fart, the geographical location of Qian'an is extremely important. Qian'an is located in the eastern part of Hebei Province, at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain, on the bank of the Luan River.

As early as 35 years, the Japanese army began to focus on the construction of the colonial system in eastern Hebei, and Qian'an, located between Chengde and Tangshan, was also an important part of the Japanese army's colonization of North China.

Moreover, in the past few years when the Japanese army occupied Qian'an, it had repeatedly forced nearby peasants to build fortifications, of which nearly 60 artillery towers alone were built, and such dense fortifications were extremely rare in eastern Hebei.

Of course, the original things that the Japanese army engaged in were to make wedding dresses for others, and after Ma Zheng recovered most of the eastern part of Hebei, he deeply felt that there was no strategic natural danger to rely on in the eastern part of Hebei, and the terrain in eastern Hebei was particularly suitable for cavalry and mechanized troops to assault, so Ma Zheng was very worried about the safety of eastern Hebei. In particular, there is intelligence that the Japanese army seems to be forming new mechanized units in northeastern China.

Due to the sudden appearance of Ma Zheng, all the equipment of the Japanese army's original plan to form a mechanized unit in North China was looted by Ma Zheng's headquarters in Tianjin Port, so the plan to form the Third Tank Division was also forced to be aborted, not only losing a large number of high-quality officers and soldiers, but also the equipment of the entire mechanized division and regiment also fell into the hands of Ma Zheng's division. It can be said that the Japanese army lost its wife and soldiers in Tianjin, and it was very stumbling.

However, in any case, Japan's economic strength and industrialization level are far stronger than China's, and the most important thing is that China has not been able to produce tanks and combat vehicles so far, and even some heavy artillery with a larger caliber cannot produce it on its own, so once the Japanese army's mechanized troops are formed and combat effectiveness is formed, then Ma Zheng's headquarters will be extremely threatened.

As a far-sighted officer, Ma Zheng knows the power of it, which is equivalent to putting a sharp sword on the head of the Suicha Military Region that may fall at any time.

Ma Zheng was not a person who sat idly by, so after receiving the information that the Japanese army had formed a new mechanized division in the northeast, he immediately enriched Ma Desheng's cavalry troops, and even equipped the cavalry division with a lot of rocket launchers, which greatly strengthened the cavalry unit's ability to deal with the attack of armored troops.

At the same time, Ma Zheng upgraded the assault brigade to an armored division, and used all the resources of the general district in an inclined manner, which greatly improved the long-range combat capability of the armored division, and also organized armored troops to conduct long-distance combat drills on many occasions.

In addition, Ma Zheng ordered Liu Fengchi to build a buffer zone and a strong bridgehead in eastern Hebei at all costs, so that once the Japanese army attacked, it could buy time for the subsequent troops to assemble and reinforce.

For this bridgehead, Ma Zheng's request is that no matter how much is fought in other places, no matter how many troops the Japanese army comes, and no matter what methods the Japanese army uses, this bridgehead in eastern Hebei must never fall. Even if the entire Suicha Military Region was defeated by the Japanese army, this bridgehead must also be in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Ma Zheng firmly believed that as long as there was such a stronghold in eastern Hebei, and then a force with strong combat ability and fierce fighting will was sent to defend it, the Japanese army would never dare to go deep alone unscrupulously.

Based on Ma Zheng's strong request, Liu Fengchi and Tie Xinlan spent several months selecting the site for construction, and some time ago, they even mobilized a large number of thousands of people to help build it, and finally built Qian'an into a complete and solid strategic fortress.

Not to mention, this singing large fortification complex came in handy as soon as the construction was completed.

Ma Zheng's department put on a decisive battle posture in Qian'an, which really stumped Tada Jun, although the Japanese army especially hoped that the Eighth Route and the Imperial Japanese Army would have a real head-to-head confrontation, you must know that in the past, the Japanese army fought with Ma Zheng's department, it was like dealing with the snitch, often when the Japanese high-level reacted, the Eighth Route Army had already entered the sea and the tiger roared in the mountains and forests without a trace, so they especially wanted to fight head-on with Ma Zheng's department, in order to prove the strength of the Japanese army.

But right now, Ma Zheng's department is really good at picking the time and location, which is obviously just a turtle shell for the Japanese Imperial Army to gnaw! Moreover, this turtle shell is also covered with thorns, and the mouth must be crushed and cracked.

Tada Jun also knows that this is the terrible thing about Ma Zheng, don't you want to fight with us with real swords, then I'll have a big battle with you in Qian'an. Didn't you take a fancy to Chengde, I just want to place a heavy army in Qian'an. Under the cover of strong fortifications, as long as the ammunition is sufficient, then even if the Great Japanese Empire really takes Qian'an and annihilates the main force of the Eighth Route Army Ma Zheng inside, it will suffer extremely heavy losses, and it is typical that both sides will lose.

More importantly, although Tada Jun has been aware of the Eighth Route Army's intentions, but unfortunately he has no ability to change, he knows that he is now riding a tiger is difficult, put on such a big formation, if he really retreats in Qian'an, a place that cannot be regarded as a fortress, then he, a dignified lieutenant general, can only go home to coax the child, and in desperation, Tada Jun can only be ruthless to take Qian'an City first.

Soon the reply from the North China Front Headquarters was placed on the desk of Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, although it was now during the march and the battle was only a military tent, but the headquarters of Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama was not at all as simple as the headquarters of the former enemy in eastern Hebei of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition to the necessary maps, sand tables, and marching beds, Yokoyama's headquarters also included hardcover sake and flower arrangements that he had brought from Tokyo, as well as a young and beautiful Japanese woman.

After reading the reply from the North China Front Command, Isamu Yokoyama looked worried. He personally commanded the attacks for the past two days, and he was shocked by the tenacity of the opposing Chinese army. With that kind of momentum of seeing death as home, the Imperial Japanese Army will not say that it will completely annihilate the Chinese army in the fortifications, and even if it opens a safe passage to Qian'an, it will inevitably pay an extremely heavy price.

The most important thing is that this is just a blocking position on the periphery of Qian'an, and the Imperial Japanese Army has not seen Qian'an City for so many days. Even so, the special geographical terrain and strong fortifications here gave Yokoyama and others a headache. If it were possible, Isamu Yokoyama definitely didn't want his elite to fight the Shina people here.

After all, the situation is there, not to mention the final victory, this kind of terrain alone is enough to be daunting. Even if they were able to defeat the Shina army in front of them, the casualties would definitely be extremely heavy.

However, when he saw this order personally signed by His Excellency Tada, Yokoyama felt a wry smile. Take the position of the face to face at all costs, and encircle and move to peace! This order is truly amazing!

However, the military has such an advantage, that is, once the order is given, they will rise to the challenge even if they know that there is a great difficulty, and perhaps this is the only thing that the Japanese army has in common with China/soldiers. (To be continued.) )
