With so much material seized, when will you not leave now? Although Li Tie is a commander trained by Ma Zheng himself, he is also a brigade commander at this time, and he is at least a major general on the side of the National Government. www.biquge.info But this guy doesn't take care of himself at all, but he eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and he doesn't do less things such as taking advantage of them and leaving, sneak attacks, assassinations, etc.
But it's not so easy to leave, how to transport the materials of a dozen warehouses is a big problem, with the little strength in his hands, let alone fourteen large warehouses, even a few warehouses can't be transported.
However, Li Tie had a way, and he sent a letter to the leaders of the Immortal Dao and Anle Gate in Yang County, hoping that they could help. Li Tie knew that these two local Daomen forces had been suppressed by the Japanese army for several years, and they looked crumbling, but in fact, the background of the people was very deep, and waving thousands of people was just a small meaning.
Moreover, Shenxian Dao and Anle Men now have a large number of disciples serving in the troops of the Shandong Military Region, and there are even senior officers like Lu Guoqiang. Therefore, even these two Daomen forces were tied to the chariot of the Eighth Route Army, which was both glory and loss. Therefore, after receiving Li Tie's letter, Qing'an Daoist and Qin Shiyi did not dare to slack off, and immediately gathered a large number of believers to help Li Tie transport materials at the place designated by Li Tie.
Li Tie is also capable, after he robbed Heze, he also blew up all the city fortifications and valuable military targets in Heze, and then left Heze with a small 20,000 people, leaving only Lieutenant General Odaka Kamizo a mess.
As soon as the news of Li Tie's division capturing Heze came out, the entire North China Front Army was greatly frightened. Originally, they thought that there would not be too many resistance forces in Shandong, but it was reported that there were more than 20,000 people in China who attacked Heze, which was terrible.
Tada Jun and others all know that the front army is now a standard external strength and middle cadre, and on the surface it seems that the front army has unlimited scenery in attacking everywhere, but in fact the defense inside the occupied areas is extremely weak, especially in Shandong.
Shandong's geographical location is extremely important, so when Lieutenant General Tada Jun transferred troops, he deliberately left an infantry division and two infantry brigades for Shandong.
However, compared with the vast area of Shandong, the strength of one infantry division and two infantry brigades can hardly guarantee the safety of all the counties in Shandong, let alone the counties and townships below. Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the resistance in Shandong has come and gone, which has given the Japanese army a headache.
Now Shandong's defense is empty, and if another mysterious and powerful army appears in Shandong, then the situation in Shandong will immediately be chaotic, and there will even be a large-scale uprising, which Tada Jun does not want to see.
Tada Junzhong was also very worried about the situation in Shandong, because some time ago the Twelfth Army suffered a lot of losses on the Liaocheng and Yanggu fronts, although the Twelfth Army finally dispatched a large army to completely expel the rebellious Chinese army from Shandong, and even the Huyan family, the largest feudal family in Shandong, was also sent out of the country, and finally restored the calm of Shandong, which was about to break out.
But now it seems that the results of the previous sweep were not as brilliant as imagined, and the Chinese army was not completely expelled from Shandong, but a large part of it was hidden.
Lieutenant General Tada Jun did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo to immediately withdraw Lunan's troops to quickly get rid of the entanglement of the Second Army, and then the army immediately stationed in the Liaocheng area to search for this mysterious Chinese army.
At the same time, Lieutenant General Tada Jun also sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama stationed in the First Army in Shanxi and on the Qian'an front, ordering them to increase the intensity and intensity of their attacks, and to achieve great results or decisive victories by the end of January. The Japanese army in southern Hebei received an order to occupy Handan within three days, and if Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro still did not take Handan within three days, then he would commit suicide to thank His Majesty the Emperor.
However, Sun Lianzhong, commander of the Second Army, also saw the intention of the Japanese army to retreat, but he also thought that the Japanese army wanted to increase its troops in southern Hebei, so he commanded the troops to attack the Japanese army in a frenzy, so that the Japanese army's plan to retreat was aborted, and he could only engage the Second Army step by step.
This is undoubtedly good news for Li Tie's department, the capture of so many weapons and equipment is a good period for the development of the troops, through consultation, Li Tie used 1,000 rifles to exchange 3,000 disciples each to Shenxian Dao and Anlemen, and Li Tie formed three infantry regiments at once.
Because there were enough weapons and ammunition, and enough food and medicine for Li Tie to squander, he commanded his troops to send 2,000 rifles, 100 light and heavy machine guns, 1,000 boxes of grenades, 1 million rounds of ammunition, 2,000 shells, and a large number of Japanese military uniforms to the former enemy headquarters in southern Hebei stationed in Daming County.
Although Li Tie still has a lot of inventory, due to the limitation of transportation capacity, these are already the largest amount he can send to southern Hebei.
After receiving Li Tie's telegram, both Xie Wensheng on the southern Hebei front line and Ma Zheng in the north were very happy, Li Tie's department was a secret chess piece that Xie Wensheng left in Shandong to contain and confuse the Japanese army, but he did not expect that Li Tie would play such a big role at a critical moment. With the loss of these supplies, the Japanese will not have a good time this winter.
Under the high-pressure policy of Lieutenant General Tada, all units of the Japanese army were as crazy as chicken blood, and with the support of aircraft and artillery, the Japanese army made certain progress in various battlefields, but the casualties of the Japanese army were also very large, which made the situation even worse for Tadajun, who was already overstretched.
Ma Zheng saw all this more clearly than anyone else, he knew that the war situation in the entire North China had ushered in a new big turn, and seized the opportunity, Ma Zheng ordered all troops to enter the countdown to the counteroffensive.
First of all, the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei worked day and night, and finally arrived at the periphery of Wu'an on January 20, and formed a huge encirclement on the periphery of Wu'an. Although Major General Sasaki also quickly discovered the Eighth Route Army, it was too late, more than 30,000 troops suddenly poured out from around the independent mixed third and fourth brigades, and the 181st Division of the 69th Army, which had been surrounded by the Japanese army for nearly a week, also seized the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army.
At this time, there were less than 7,000 people left in the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Independent Mixed Brigade, and the most important thing was that the Japanese army was almost exhausted of weapons and ammunition, but fortunately the radio was still there, so Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro learned that the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Independent Mixed Brigade were surrounded by the Shina army and were in danger.
The situation took a turn for the worse, and Kimura Hyotaro had the intention to take Handan Castle in one fell swoop, but was stopped by Lieutenant General Tada. Although Kimura Hyotaro is the commander of the lieutenant general's division, he is not as good as the commander of the front army of Tada Jun after all. Tada Jun learned from Tegaoke that the Eighth Route Army that surrounded Sasaki and went to the Eighth Route Army under the banner of the Shandong Military Region.
In fact, it doesn't matter what banner Tubalu plays, the important thing is that the special high school department has obtained some sporadic news from other channels, and vaguely perceives that this unit has a lot of connections with Ma Zheng of the Suicha Military Region, and it is even very likely that it was born out of Ma Zheng's department.
Lieutenant General Tada Jun has not been fighting Ma Zheng for a day or two, and he knows Ma Zheng's personality and has a certain understanding of the kind of troops under his command. This army has a lot of character and doesn't like to do useless work. Or hide in the hole like a mouse, and once you come out, you will transform into a super storm bear and tear all the enemies in front of you.
If it was Ma Zheng's troops who surrounded Wu'an, then the problem would be serious, and these Tubalu roads would not come sooner or later, but they would appear at this time, and the purpose was already quite obvious, and their intention was definitely to completely wipe out the independent mixed third and fourth brigades from the battle sequence of the North China Front.
