The victory of the Southern Front greatly stimulated the Japanese, and Japan, which had been dragged by the Chinese battlefield and was already on the verge of collapse, quickly found resource compensation in Southeast Asia, and a large number of materials were plundered back to Japan, and for a time Japan's economy had a tendency to turn around, and the whole of Japan fell into a frenzy of madness.

At the same time, the Japanese military headquarters began to plan an attack on Burma, hoping to directly attack China's rear through Burma, and even India.
In early August 1941, after the Japanese occupation of Malaysia, the invasion of Burma began.
On August 12, the Japanese army conquered the important town in eastern Burma, and then continued to advance in two ways, and on the 18th, the Japanese army occupied Yangon, the capital of Burma. On the 27th, the Japanese army attacked the important town of Mandalay in an attempt to cut off the Yunnan-Burma road.
At this time, with the help of the British, the Chinese side, with Du Yuming as the acting commander, commanded by Stilwell, chief of staff of the China-Burma-India Military Region, gathered about 100,000 Chinese elite forces to form the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and began to march towards Burma.
In just three months, the entire international situation has become extremely chaotic, and even Ma Zheng, a person who knows the trend of history well, has been dumbfounded, and Ma Zheng was surprised by Japan's achievements in Southeast Asia.
However, all this has little to do with Ma Zheng; in the short period of three months from Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor to the dispatch of troops by the Nationalist Government to Burma, Ma Zheng's unit has set up another 100,000 troops, and now the six major military regions of the Suicha Military Region have a full 30 infantry divisions, 6 cavalry divisions, 1 armored division, and 5 artillery brigades, plus other technical arms, with a total strength of more than 700,000, and the speed of its development has made the military and political cadres of the entire Suicha Military Region jaw-dropping.
However, the development has been so rapid that many new units have had to take out the obsolete weapons and equipment from the warehouses, and even then there is a shortfall.
According to statistics, there are now less than 20 infantry divisions that are truly fully armed and equipped and have formed combat effectiveness, and the remaining dozen or so infantry divisions have only a small amount of weapons, and even a few divisions have only a few thousand old-fashioned rifles, more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, and some soldiers need to use broadswords and spears.
Although other leaders of the military region were very worried that something might happen if the troops were expanded in this way, Ma Zheng was not worried at all; although there were 150,000 or 60,000 troops without or lacking weapons, Ma Zheng believed that now was the best time for the development of the troops.
The Japanese army now has no time to take care of the Chinese battlefield, and there are only more than 200,000 Japanese troops in the entire North China battlefield, and although there are more than 300,000 puppet troops, a large part of the puppet army has now become his Ma Zheng's troops, so he is confident that he will completely solve the Japanese puppet army in North China within half a year.
Therefore, what is lacking in the entire North China region is not weapons and ammunition, but well-trained troops, and Ma Zheng believes that as long as there are troops, weapons and ammunition will be available. Not to mention the 300,000 troops of weapons and ammunition hoarded by the Japanese army in North China, even one million is enough to equip them.
Moreover, the Japanese army had a huge arsenal in Beiping and Tianjin, and as long as they captured it, it was not a word to equip as many troops as they wanted. Therefore, Ma Zheng only vigorously ordered the armed forces to pull the troops to train the troops, and did not care about anything else.
The movement of the Suicha Military Region attracted the attention of the North China Front, and Okamura Ninji was keenly aware of the big move of Ma Zheng's department, and on the one hand, he asked for help from the headquarters of the Chinese dispatch army, and on the other hand, he ordered the Japanese troops in various places to actively prepare for war.
At the same time, in view of the serious shortage of troops in the North China Front, Okamura Ninji ordered the garrison headquarters in various places to organize all the Japanese expatriates who could be organized, just in case.
Of course, the free puppet army naturally could not be let go, and under the order of Okamura Ningji, the puppet Jingsui army in North China was also mobilized and began to reinforce the junction of the security area and the non-security area.
Ma Zheng didn't care at all about the military movement of the Japanese army, he was waiting for an opportunity, a chance to fight the last battle against the Japanese army in North China.
On 20 August, when the news of the expeditionary force's dispatch to Burma came, Ma Zheng finally issued an order in the name of the commander of the Suicha Military Region and secretary of the Northern Bureau to "launch the last battle against the Japanese army in North China", and then the 700,000 troops of the Suicha Military Region, which had been extensively mobilized, launched an all-out attack on the Japanese army in North China from the four directions of Renan, Jidong, Chanan, and Jinbei.
Before this war, Ma Zheng had specially solicited the opinions of the Yan'an side, and he also received strong support from the Party Central Committee, and at the same time, the Party Central Committee issued an order to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to fully cooperate with the Suicha Military Region.
At the same time that the Suicha Military Region launched the attack, the 120th, 115th, and 129th Divisions of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Central Hebei Military Region, and the Southern Hebei Administrative Office also quickly launched an attack on the Japanese puppet army in the defense area.
For a time, the entire North China region was full of smoke, and the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on the towns defended by the Japanese army like crazy. In order to solve the problem of not understanding the lack of artillery, the Suicha Military Region shared the technology of making unconscionable artillery to all units.
As a result, there were no conscience guns everywhere on the battlefield, and several iron buckets were fired outside the small artillery towers of the Japanese army, and with a bang, the small strongholds of the Japanese brick and concrete structure were turned into flying ashes, and in a short period of time the Japanese army lost most of the rural areas and towns, and had to defend the major county towns and important transportation points with heavy troops.
Datong, former enemy headquarters.
Ma Zheng stood in front of a huge military sand table, staring at the small red and blue flags on the sand table, and asked the staff officer beside him from time to time.
"Is there any news from Jidong?"
"Report to the commander, half an hour ago, Commander Tie sent a telegram saying that their former enemy headquarters in eastern Hebei has completed its deployment in accordance with the plan of the military region headquarters, and that the reorganized third division and the 18th, 19th, and 28th divisions have reached the predetermined combat position and can launch an attack on the remnants of the enemy in eastern Hebei at any time." Xu Xiaolin, who was on the side, immediately replied.
"The focus of the battle in eastern Hebei was in Tangshan, where the Japanese army stationed the regular strength of an infantry brigade, as well as a tank brigade and an expatriate division, and its strength should not be underestimated."
Then Ma Zheng continued: "In addition, the Japanese army has already taken Beiping, Tianjin, Tangshan and Zhangjiakou, which has just been reoccupied by the Japanese army, these four cities constitute the largest defensive circle of the Japanese army in North China, as long as our army can tear a hole from Zhangjiakou or Tangshan, then none of the Japanese troops in North China can escape, unless the Japanese army transfers all their naval ships to North China, otherwise the Japanese army will lose this time." ”
Turning around, Ma Zheng asked Political Commissar Luo on the side: "Political Commissar, how is the progress of the troops in the direction of Zhangjiakou?" ”
Political Commissar Luo said with a smile: "The progress of all the armies is going very well, the 10th Division and the 38th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Zhangjiakou, in addition to the five infantry divisions of the puppet army, together with more than ten counties and cities outside Zhangjiakou, are run like an iron bucket by little devils. However, this is only the beginning of the war, and the two sides only had a contact exchange of fire yesterday, so the commander should not be in a hurry. ”
"Hehehe, there is a little bit of anxiety, but this battle is related to the future of the whole nation, this battle is fought and there will be no war in North China since then, if it is not fought well, it will attract more reinforcements from the Japanese army, although the situation will not be too bad, but it is not what I want." Ma Zheng said with a smile.
"Well, if this battle can really be as we expected, the situation in North China will definitely be very favorable to us in the future." Political Commissar Luo nodded and said.
