Although the Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat in southern Hebei and central Hebei, the Japanese army still occupied an absolute advantage in eastern Hebei, and from January 13, the first division of the Japanese army has launched a fierce attack on Qian'an for a week, and the positions on the periphery of Qian'an have gradually been occupied by the Japanese army, and the living space of Liu Fengchi's department is being eaten away by the Japanese army little by little.

At the same time, the intelligence department of the Japanese army intercepted the telecommunication signals between the various departments of Ma Zheng's department and judged that Ma Zheng was likely to be in Dai County, Shanxi, and then this top-secret information was quickly sent to Lieutenant General Tadajun's desk.

During this time, Lieutenant General Tada Jun really saw the power and difficulty of Ma Zheng's department, and in the first battle of Jizhong, Lieutenant General Numata Shigetoku was shattered, and although the second brigade was not completely annihilated, there was only one complete infantry brigade left in the entire brigade, which can be said to be disabled.

In the First World War in southern Hebei, Lieutenant General Sasaki Zhiichi and Major General Jiro Yamada, who were the former head of the Special High-Tech North China Front Army and commander of the Military Police Headquarters of the Imperial Japan, were killed, and the entire independent mixed third and fourth brigades were completely annihilated.

The troops in eastern Hebei were blocked by a small Qian'an city for a whole week, and there was still no precursor to a breakthrough until now, and the battle in southern Chanan was even more defeated, and in just a dozen days of fighting, the North China Front lost a total of nearly four infantry brigades. Therefore, for the time being, the North China Front is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in the overall situation.

In fact, Ma Zheng himself is extremely satisfied with the performance of all units of the Suicha Military Region. Especially for the Shandong Military Region, which is fighting in southern Hebei. Although the independent division and instructor had not been established long ago, and it was still a newly formed unit in which he personally served as commander, he originally had some doubts about the combat effectiveness of Shandong's troops.

However, the soldiers under his command did not disappoint Ma Zheng, and they won a lot in several sorties. This time, it was the two integrated and independent mixed brigades of the Japanese army that were completely annihilated, and what made Ma Zheng the happiest was that he killed the old devil Sasaki Zhiichi.

Others may not know who Sasaki is to one, but Ma Zheng is very clear. Sasaki Toichi has two identities in Ma Zheng's heart, the first is a major general of the Japanese Army and the founder of the puppet army of Manchukuo, and the second is one of the main culprits of the Nanjing Massacre.

Perhaps most people attribute Yang Jingyu's death and the defeat of the Anti-Japanese Federation to the joint strangulation of the Japanese puppet army and the betrayal of traitors, but in Ma Zheng's opinion, the culprit of all this is this Sasaki Toichi who has just been killed.

Sasaki to one in 1932 one. After the 28th Incident, he was appointed as the commander and staff officer of the Shirakawa Yoshinori Army of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and participated in the invasion of China. In December of the same year, he was appointed as an adviser to the Ministry of Manchukuo at the same time as he was stationed at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and the top adviser at that time was Lieutenant General Tada Jun of the North China Front, with the rank of major general at that time.

In December 1934, Sasaki succeeded Seishiro Itagaki as the third supreme adviser to the ministry and began to reorganize the army in Manchuria. During this period, he formulated a series of measures to transform the puppet Manchu army and foster a reactionary armed force to suppress the Chinese people. In order to prevent the collusion of soldiers and bandits, he distributed ammunition to the Manchurian soldiers, and if the battle failed, the troops were immediately disbanded, and the commander-in-chief was held accountable until he was shot.

As a result, the price of black market bullets was as high as seven and a half cents, and the Anti-Union was completely unable to replenish bullets. In addition, Sasaki Toichi formulated two plans, which directly caused the defeat of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation. The first is the "Manchukuo Three-Year Plan for Suppressing Public Order and Rectification," which carried out severe military strikes against the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance. The first is the "Group Tribal Construction Plan", which adopted the policy of separating the "people and bandits" and cut off the supply of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation.

These two plans were vigorously implemented, even after Sasaki left Manchuria. By the end of 1938, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation had suffered very serious losses. From the end of 1940 to 1941, the rest of the Anti-Japanese Federation entered the Soviet Union one after another, and at that time there were only more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation.

When Sasaki Toichi left Tohoku, he recalled the situation of reforming the puppet Manchu army, saying: "Since the 10th year of Taisho (1921) in Guangdong, I have held the conviction that it is necessary to fundamentally reform the Shina army. After serving as a military adviser to Manchukuo, he put into practice what he had studied in the past, and after five years of hard work, he achieved unexpected results. ”

After Sasaki took office as a military adviser to the puppet Manchurians, he claimed that he would "reorganize" the puppet Manchu army as his "life's great cause", and his purpose was to prepare for the battle at the pass, to assist the Kant Emperor Puyi in returning to Beijing, and to hope that "perhaps a Wu Sangui-like figure would emerge" in North China. And because Sasaki Toichi spent five years "rearing" the puppet Manchu army with "results", he was called the "father of the Manchu army" by the Japanese invaders.

After the start of the Japanese army's full-scale war of aggression against China in 1937, Sasaki was appointed as the commander of the 30th Infantry Brigade of the 16th Division (division commander Nakajima Imago Masa) on August 2, and was incorporated into the combat sequence of the Second Army of the North China Front. In October, he invaded the area east of Xingtai, and then Sasaki and the 30th Brigade set sail from Dalian Port and moved south to join the battle sequence in Central China.

and successively occupied Changshu, Wuxi, and Danyang, and then attacked and advanced to Nanjing along the highways of Jurong and Tangshui Town. On December 6, he broke through the first position in Nanjing, occupied the Purple Mountain on the 12th, and then participated in the inhumane Nanjing Massacre. Sasaki commanded his troops to slaughter more than 3,000 soldiers and civilians in Nanjing at one time.

After December 21, the Japanese divisions and regiments withdrew from the city one after another, and Sasaki went to the first division to continue the massacre. Until January of the following year, Sasaki's division was undoubtedly one of the most criminal and murderous units in the Nanjing Massacre, so Sasaki was also one of the main culprits of the Nanjing Massacre.

It was precisely because of Ma Zheng's understanding of this fang that Ma Zheng was in a very happy mood when he learned that all the troops were annihilated and independently mixed into the third and fourth brigades and killed their supreme commander Sasaki to Ichi.

But Ma Zheng also knew that the Japanese army had a deep heritage, and although they had lost some territory, they did not dare to force it too much, and the war in southern Hebei would not change much for the time being.

However, on the battlefield of eastern Hebei, the Japanese army had a new move, and after learning the information that Ma Zheng was likely to be in Daixian, Lieutenant General Tada Jun immediately adjusted his plan to attack eastern Hebei, and he ordered his cavalry troops to immediately bypass Qian'an and march towards Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province. At the same time, he ordered the 5th Division and the 20th Infantry Division of the Japanese Army stationed on the front line of Xinkou to immediately raid Daixian, for which Lieutenant General Tada Jun also assigned the precious 1st Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery to Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka under the command.

The original 36th Infantry Division stationed in Taiyuan also received an order, and the whole army immediately went north to complete the breakthrough in the direction of Ningwu Pass, and at all costs to contain the 120th Division in the northwest of Shanxi, he wanted to completely besiege Ma Zheng in Dai County.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the intelligence, Lieutenant General Tada Jun did not hesitate to use the most important nail of the Japanese army's special high-tech department lurking in the Suicha Military Region, and finally confirmed that Ma Zheng was in Dai County, and there were only a few troops accompanying him.

After receiving the news, Lieutenant General Tada Jun was overjoyed, he knew very well that Ma Zheng's worth at this time, in the wanted warrant issued by the Japanese army, Ma Zheng himself ranked third with 5 million oceans, second only to Lao Jiang, president of the Chinese National Government, and the chairman of Yan'an, and higher than Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Yan Xishan and others.

As early as after the Japanese army occupied Northeast China, there was a heavy reward for the capture of Yang Jingyu, a hero of the Anti-Japanese Federation, in the 41 years of the Northeast Japanese Army's "Wild Deputy Crusade", the Japanese army had a precedent of distributing photos on a large scale before the war, and General Yang Jingyu was martyred in the "joint crusade of the Japanese and Manchurian military and police in Tonghua, Jilin, and Jiandao provinces".

Before this "crusade", the commander of the Japanese puppet army, Ye Vice Changde, rushed to print as many as 20,000 bounty orders with photos of Yang Jingyu, and the Japanese puppet military and police who participated in the war all got the photos, and the effect of that time was also very good, and General Yang Jingyu was directly solved.
