Chapter 57: This Trick Is Deadly!

As He Zhengdao gradually became known to the Japanese army, the Japanese army gave He Zhengdao's evaluation, just like the evaluation of He Zhengdao by Mr. Zhu and others, He Zhengdao was a military commander who was good at winning with strange moves, a young general who was difficult to figure out.

It is precisely because He Zhengdao is good at using strange soldiers that when fighting against him, the Japanese army often seems to be very cautious. It's just that no matter how cautious you are, it seems that you won't inadvertently fall into the trap set by He Zhengdao.

The 11th Division, which was ordered to fight this time, undoubtedly also carefully studied He Zhengdao before starting the war. But in the end, the 11th Division did not expect that He Zhengdao would always hide two killer troops.

In the face of this sudden attack, even if Naito Shoichi is a very cautious general, it is also difficult to deal with the sudden changes. The worst thing is that the Kwantung Army still doesn't know anything about this news.

Taking over the task of attacking the Northeast can be said to be the goal set by He Zhengdao early on. When Xu Mingyuan and Hu Youliang were sent to eastern Hebei to form a military division, He Zhengdao thought about using it as a surprise army.

The current situation on the battlefield is undoubtedly the best time to activate this strange army. This kind of forward-looking vision that surpasses ordinary people is undoubtedly something that others cannot compare with He Zhengdao. After all, He Zhengdao is a traverser!

Although his appearance changed the original history of the Anti-Japanese War. However, judging from the current international situation, the smoke of World War II has already been ignited. Such an ambitious little devil is afraid that he will also go back to the old way.

As far as He Zhengdao is concerned, he does not want to touch the Kwantung Army, which is currently undamaged. Instead, it hopes to delay the time for advancing to the northeast and the decisive battle with the Kwantung Army, so that the little devil can continue its journey to dominate the world.

At least in He Zhengdao's plan, even if he wants to attack the Northeast, the first thing he wants to do is to seal the passage for the Kwantung Army to escape. Only in this way can the industrial base that the Kwantung Army has left in the northeast all these years be able to take over.

Thinking about the original history, the Kwantung Army was defeated under the attack of the Soviet Red Army, and the Eighth Route Army had to take over the Northeast. But in fact, the Soviet Red Army, attacking the Northeast, also gained a lot of what was left over from the Kwantung Army.

It can be said that in this matter, Huaxia only fished out a northeast that had been demolished and looted by the Soviet Red Army. In addition to the benefits, the Soviet Red Army also made Huaxia owe them a favor.

At present, He Zhengdao hopes that the Eighth Route Army can be self-reliant and self-reliant, if it can take the industrial base of the Kwantung Army in the northeast. Then in the future, it is possible for China to take advantage of the war between the Soviet Union and Germany to take back the currently independent Outer Mongolia.

In short, He Zhengdao did not think of annexing the territory of the Soviet Union, but those territories that belonged to China in the early years, He Zhengdao hoped to recover them all. If this can be achieved, China will truly become a military and economic power after World War II.

He Zhengdao didn't say anything about these thoughts, but just worked hard to achieve this goal step by step. If you want to block the Kwantung Army's retreat, then the best way is to block the land passage for the Kwantung Army to flee to Korea.

After receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, Yang Jingyu, who was outside the gate, followed Xu Mingyuan, who was in eastern Hebei, looked very happy. As soldiers, they all hope to have the opportunity to join the war and fight the invading Japanese invaders.

After a period of rest, the strength of the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation has also recovered a lot. Even if their strength is about the same as a main division outside the Guan, at most. But weapons and supplies are also much more abundant than before.

Most importantly, with the intelligence system set up by the Eighth Route Army outside the Guan, it gradually played a role. The Anti-Japanese Federation, which lives in seclusion in the mountains to recuperate, can also know what is happening outside the mountains through the radio.

After Yang Jingyu received the telegram from He Zhengdao, he quickly sent a reconnaissance force to find targets for them to attack. The Eastern Hebei Army Division, which was also far away from the main force, was more rapid than the anti-Japanese alliance.

After receiving the order of the commander He Zhengdao, Xu Mingyuan, who was the commander of the military division, soon held a meeting with the main regiment commander under his command. At the same time, an operational order was issued to disrupt eastern Hebei.

Listening to Xu Mingyuan's battle order, the main regiment commanders who came to the meeting also looked very excited, and couldn't help but say: "Finally waited for this day!" It's always a little bit of a fight, and it's really a little unpleasant! ”

What kind of commander there is, what kind of subordinates there will be. As a relatively belligerent commander, the commanders under his command naturally prefer to fight. Always attacking and harassing the Japanese puppet army, these main forces naturally feel that they are overkill.

Fortunately, as the commander of the military division, Xu Mingyuan knows better than anyone that He Zhengdao is a big move in the next step. Since He Zhengdao emphasized in the telegram that he should take it easy, he must grasp the rhythm and scale of the attack.

Thinking of this, Xu Mingyuan immediately coughed a few times and said, "Okay, have you heard the commander's orders clearly." This time, we still can't participate in all of them, and we can't let the little devils know our strength for a short time.

Therefore, next, we have to take our time, first eliminate the Japanese puppet army in the base area, and eliminate the reinforcements sent by the little devils in the form of besieging the city and sending reinforcements. In this way, we are constantly expanding our anti-Japanese base areas. ”

As soon as they heard this, the heads of the regiment also felt a little regretful. But for the order given by He Zhengdao, naturally none of them dared to disobey. Therefore, the regiment commanders also began to look forward to who could take over the task of the first battle.

'Commander, your regiment should have been assembled, right?' ’

As the main regiment of the Eastern Hebei Army Division, the First Regiment is also the earliest unit formed by the Military Division. Now that the Eastern Hebei Army Division is finally going to do a big job, Xu Mingyuan still plans to let a regiment be responsible for the main attack in this first battle.

'Report to the commander, I received an order from the military division earlier that our regiment has completed its combat readiness and is ready to go into battle. Commander, are we going to reclaim the county seat? ’

'Nice! Qianxi is also the central city of our military division, and if it is taken, it will be more conducive to the next deal with the Japanese army. Give you a night to have the confidence to take Qianxi City. ’

In the face of Xu Mingyuan's inquiry, the commander of the first regiment patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, commander, the first regiment guarantees to complete the task." In fact, the puppet army in Qianxi City has basically been rebelled by us, just waiting for a counterattack! ”

Although the main forces of the Eastern Hebei Army Division have the strength to recover some county seats. However, out of consideration for low-key development, the main forces failed to get the task of attacking the county seat, and more still carried out some infiltration and rebellion.

In fact, at present, the counties in the eastern Hebei region are still under the control of the Japanese army. However, the Japanese troops stationed in these counties were basically powerless to control the situation outside the city, and outside the city was already the world of the Eighth Route Army.

Faced with this situation, the Japanese troops stationed in eastern Hebei did not think about changing the status quo. But every time they organized a clean-up, the final result was a loss of troops.

If it had been replaced, the North China Front would have been able to mobilize heavy troops from other directions to encircle and suppress it. However, with the disadvantage of the Japanese army in the Central Plains battlefield, and the intensification of the Eighth Route Army's penetration into Hebei and other places, the Japanese army was more used to prevent the continuous erosion of the Eighth Route Army.

In this unfavorable situation, the North China Front finally chose to deal with the Shanxi border area with more troops. On the other hand, on the eastern side of Hebei, because the transportation lines are unblocked, the Japanese army can only maintain the status quo for the time being.

Hearing that everything was ready, Xu Mingyuan didn't say anything more, and quickly said, "Okay, since you are ready to attack Qianxi City." Then I hope to receive the news of the liberation of Qianxi City tomorrow! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Looking at the head of the regiment with excitement on his face, the other main leaders who came to the meeting looked a little envious. However, in any case, the first regiment is the old main force of the military subdivision, and its combat effectiveness is undoubtedly the strongest among the military subdivisions.

Next, Xu Mingyuan continued: "The rest of the regiments are temporarily staying in their respective defense areas and waiting for orders. Once the Japanese reinforcements arrive, there is only one thing you have to do, and that is to block these Japanese reinforcements.

As for the new 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment, the tasks of your two regiments are equally arduous. After going down, your two regiments organized troops to carry out a sabotage attack on the railway occupied by the Japanese army, and urged the little devils to destroy the railway transportation channel between the little devils and the Guanwai. ”

In He Zhengdao's order, the recovery of the county seat should be a small fight. In contrast, the destruction of the railway line between the North China Front and the Kwantung Army was the top priority in this time to disrupt eastern Hebei, so that North China would lose contact with Guanwai.

With the issuance of the combat order formulated by General Xu Mingyuan, the originally calm Jidong finally ushered in real chaos. The main regiment responsible for attacking Qianxi City, with the response of the puppet army troops in the city, took Qianxi City at a very small cost of casualties.

By the time Okamura Ninji received the news, the bad news about Jidong was one after another. If the fall of Qianxi City did not surprise Okamura Ninji, then what happened on the railway line made him very worried.

Looking at the intelligence staff officer who came to deliver the news, Okamura Ninji also said with concern: "Have you found out the loss?" ”

'Your Excellency, the damage to the railway has not yet been ascertained. However, our railway line to Guanwai has basically been completely suspended. The Eighth Route carried out very complete damage to the railway, and our road escort also suffered heavy losses. ’

'Yaga! Such an action is only afraid that it was premeditated by the Eighth Road. At this time, I just want to divert our attention! ’

In Okamura Ningji's view, the chaos in eastern Hebei is undoubtedly a planned sabotage operation carried out by the Eighth Route Army at this time. But no matter what, as a commander, he can't sit idly by.

Once eastern Hebei is fully occupied by the Eighth Route Army, the situation will become even more unfavorable for the North China Front. Not to mention, after the destruction of the railway line, the materials in North China could not be transported outside the customs at all.

At the moment, the factories outside the customs are waiting for minerals and materials to be transported from all over the world. If it cannot be supplied in time, it will inevitably bring great trouble to the production plan of the Japanese army. It can be said that this move of the Eighth Route Army is very deadly!
