[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 371: Killing Chickens and Monkeys (Asking for subscriptions, asking for monthly passes, asking for everything!) ）

General Sugiyama is ready to make an example of the monkeys, otherwise the opposition voices inside and outside Japan are likely to completely destroy the situation they have worked so hard to manage, so it is necessary to give hope to those who oppose the capture of China in China.

Since he wanted to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, the main targets were chickens and monkeys, and monkeys were ready-made, and those who threatened to end the war in the Japanese Empire were the targets of his Sugiyama Moto's threats and intimidation. As for the chicken used to scare the monkeys, it is difficult to find, the chicken is thin and does not work, do you say that a dignified imperial front army has collected a guerrilla force of 200 people? If you don't get those guys laughing out of their big teeth, it can still serve the purpose of scaring the monkeys.

But if the chicken is too fat and too strong, it will be a lot of trouble to clean up. For example, the stingy and cunning Yan Xishan in Shanxi of China, that guy also graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army School, and the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command are still very combative, especially the army in the hands of the commander surnamed Fu, which is not much worse than the second-line garrison of the empire, and even surpasses it.

If this chicken is killed, those guys in the country will inevitably shut up obediently. But the problem is that Yan Xishan's Jin Sui army has now withdrawn to the mountainous areas in the southwest of Shanxi, especially in Zhongtiao Mountain, where Shanxi and Henan meet, and has gathered at least 200,000 Chinese troops, and there is nothing they can do for a while.

After thinking about it, Sugiyama Yuan still set his eyes on the place of Saibei, isn't there a self-righteous chick entrenched here? Besides, this guy's reputation is also famous enough, so that those guys in China always talk about this guy, and they don't clean up his domestic guys for a day.

Although this guy doesn't show strength like a chicken, he looks like a tiger. However, General Sugiyama still felt that Ma Zheng's department seemed to be more like a soft persimmon in comparison. At least in his eyes, Ma Zheng's troops were much easier to pack than the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yan Xishan's hands.

What makes General Sugiyama even more happy is that now this guy actually took the initiative to provoke the incident without knowing whether he was alive or dead, could it be that Amaterasu is blessing the Japanese Empire to bless him Sugiyama Moto? As long as the hateful Chinese army is cleaned up, those guys in the country will have no capital to preach, and it is not up to the military department to decide what to do when the time comes, General Sugiyama thought in his heart.

Now that he has made up his mind to clean up Ma Zheng's department. Then General Sugiyama will no longer be delayed. According to the intelligence collected by the special high-tech department, the troops of Ma Zheng's headquarters marching south and eastward this time also numbered 70,000 or 80,000 people, and they gathered in Rehe, Xinghe, and Datong respectively. According to the estimation of the special high school, Ma Zheng's headquarters almost used the mobile troops used in the defense area, so if there is only a breakthrough in any of these three directions, then the large Japanese Imperial Army can break through the hinterland of Ma Zheng's defense area, and even if Ma Zheng's headquarters cannot be completely solved in the end, this is a big victory.

What's more, once the Imperial Army invaded the hinterland of the defense area of the Chinese people, how could the empty rear garrison of Ma Zheng's department be the opponent of the Great Japanese Imperial Army. The most inevitable thing is that it is like entering a no-man's land, even big cities like Jining, Guisui, and Baotou may be captured.

But with his current understanding of Ma Zheng's department, he knows that this army should still be very combative, and the prestige of the demon general is not blown. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, General Sugiyama Yuan first asked the Second Division, the Fourth Division, and the six Imperial Allied Army groups (brigades) stationed in eastern Hebei to hold back the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the Rehe side.

At the same time, four field divisions and one mixed brigade were mobilized on the front line of Zhang (Jiakou) to encircle and annihilate Ma Zheng's headquarters with all their might. After all, count all the troops. The number of troops that were prepared to be directly used against Ma Zheng's headquarters exceeded 6 field divisions and 1 mixed brigade, and the total strength of the Japanese army alone exceeded nearly 100,000.

In addition, there are a large number of puppet troops. The total number of troops exceeded 30,000, which is 130,000 in total. 130,000 people against Ma Zheng's troops is less than 100,000, and the absolute superiority in strength will inevitably be reflected in the next battle.

Moreover, in Sugiyama Yuan's view, the combat effectiveness of the tens of thousands of troops under Ma Zheng's department can only be equal to the two first-class divisions of the second division and the sixteenth division at best, plus the rest of the troops, it is enough to crush Ma Zheng's division.

However, the only thing that worries General Sugiyama now is Rehe. Yesterday, the battle report of the Rehe front had reached Beiping, and General Sugiyama was extremely surprised that the Second Division had been annihilated by more than 17,000 people overnight.

Fortunately, the Kwantung Army had ordered the main force of the Fourth Division to set off from Qinhuangdao and urgently go to Chengde to reinforce the Second Division. This made General Sugiyama a lot more relieved. Once reinforcements arrived, there would be no need to worry about the battle in the Rehe direction. After all, it was the Sendai Second Division stationed in Rehe, one of the most powerful divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army, which was even stronger than the Fifth Division.

Besides, it's really not good, aren't there those uncles of the gendarmerie here, don't those guys usually shout that they can fight ten with one, then this time they will use their two thousand people as 20,000 people, if they are defeated, they can also kill the majesty of the gendarmerie, these guys in the province have their eyes on the top of their heads every day, and they look like the second and third of the earth, which is annoying.

Of course, compared to Ma Zheng's division breaking through the defense line of the second division, what General Sugiyama Moto's fear was that Ma Zheng's division would retreat before the main force of the front army gathered, so that there would be no need to mobilize the army.

But will Ma Zheng's troops retreat? The answer is clearly no. Sugiyama Yuan has his own intentions, and Ma Zheng also has his own plans, compared to Sugiyama Yuan's combat intentions of preparing to annihilate Ma Zheng's troops in one fell swoop, Ma Zheng's goal is not smaller than Sugiyama Yuan's at all. Sugiyama Yuan's eyes were only on the two provinces of Suicha, while Ma Zheng's target was the whole of North China.

Once the safe passage to eastern Hebei is opened, the main force of the Suicha Military Region will continue to pour into Rehe and eastern Hebei, and even the northeast region through this passage, to use the huge population advantage of these places, to continuously expand the troops, and to form a necessary threat to the Japanese army communication channel between North China and Northeast China.

So it's completely fair to say that Sugiyama Yuan and Ma Zheng are not fuel-efficient lamps, and now it depends on who has a higher guide.

After two days of fighting, Huang Sicheng's Duqi Division was progressing smoothly, and Tianzhen and Yanggao had all fallen into the hands of the Duqi Division. Moreover, the northbound detachment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has also reached Guangling and Yangyuan, and will soon be able to join up with the troops under Ma Zheng.

Due to the threat of the Duqi Division, the Japanese 27th Division had to return to Datong, and withdrew its troops from the Liangcheng front line with difficulty, and when it was withdrawn to Zuoyun and Youyu, the division lost one-third of the blows of the Duqi Division and the 120th Division.

On the Xinghe front, although the 16th Division was progressing smoothly, the speed was not fast, according to the prediction of the new division commander of the 16th Division, Lieutenant General Fujie Keipu, it would take three days for the unit to arrive at Xinghe City at the earliest, and it would take at least one to two days to take Xinghe County.

But now the problem is that the main force of Ma Zheng's department has already appeared in Rehe, if Ma Zheng's department goes back to the south, it can directly appear under Zhangjiakou through Zhangbei, which will be a great test for the 16th Division, and if it is not good, it may be surrounded and annihilated by Ma Zheng's department in Zhangjiakou, just like Lieutenant General Liannuma Pan. Because of this, Fujie Meguma did not dare to let go of his hands and feet to attack.

Fortunately, now the front army headquarters has relieved their worries and has ordered the 10th Division and the 110th Division to go north to reinforce the operation, which made Fujie Keiga very happy, and immediately ordered the front-line troops to break through the resistance of the Eighth Route Army at all costs and hit the city of Xinghe as soon as possible.
