As the location of the imperial city of many dynasties in Chinese history, the political significance of Beiping in China is self-evident. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoSince the fall of Beiping after the July 7 Incident, it has also opened the suffering day of North China being colonized by the Japanese puppet.

Compared with the previous two years when Beiping had just fallen, many people felt that sooner or later, the Chinese anti-Japanese troops would eventually fight back and regain this place. In any case, Beiping was one of the most important metropolises in the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that as the Japanese army continued to advance south, it even hit the Central Plains and other core places. On the other hand, the anti-Japanese war troops in China did not do too many things to be proud of. Gradually, many people have become disillusioned with the national army.

Until the unexpected rise of the Eighth Route Army in northern Shaanxi, and even last year, it recovered Shanxi and other places occupied by the Japanese army. This year, he fought many battles with the little devils, and even the passage from Beiping to Guanwai was also cut off by the Eighth Route Army.

Earlier, many people who were unfamiliar with the Eighth Route Army gradually knew that the army that now dominates the War of Resistance in the North is no longer the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army in the past, nor is it the Nationalist Army unit that is now fighting in the South.

The anti-Japanese army that really dominated the war in the north was the Eighth Route Army, which was in full swing at the moment. In particular, seeing that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army successively entered behind enemy lines to carry out anti-Japanese war propaganda, the people gradually looked forward to it.

Among them, the most influential are those puppet soldiers and traitors, who know more about the situation of the war of resistance in the north than the common people. They also knew that once the Eighth Route Army regained the north, they were all likely to be liquidated by the Eighth Route Army.

Gradually, many people suddenly discovered that the originally vicious puppet army had become much more polite. The originally arrogant traitors have become much more honest during this time, and they don't even dare to help the little devils harm the people at every turn.

Such a change, coupled with some armed engineering units and guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines that had taken root in the mountainous countryside, made many people begin to look forward to the time when the Eighth Route Army would be able to invade Beiping and liberate them.

From the gossip circulated by some people, many people living in the occupied areas know about it. Now the people in the liberated areas of the Eighth Route Army are living a good life. At least you don't have to worry about being bullied by little devils or puppet soldiers when you can't collect food at every turn.

Of course, there is another thing that they are looking forward to, that is, many places in the liberated areas have begun to divide their fields. This news is undoubtedly something that many people who are looking forward to owning their own fields.

For ordinary people, having a field is equivalent to having everything!

And the war that was taking place on the front line at this moment was also quickly spread by the people. In addition, the frequent activities of military engineering teams and guerrillas in various places have made many ordinary people feel that the war clouds behind this busyness are accumulating.

'In charge, I heard that the Eighth Road is fighting little devils on the front line again. You say, can they hit us? ’

'I don't know! However, I heard from the few guys in the village who were militiamen that the Eighth Road was coming for the little devils in Beiping this time. If we can hit Beiping, maybe we can liberate here! ’

Even though the Japanese army ruled North China for more than two years, the people here seemed to be more willing to accept the arrival of the Eighth Route Army than the people outside the Guan. In their opinion, the Eighth Route Army is, after all, people of the same race and race.

And what many people are most worried about is nothing more than the fear of being affected by the war. After all, once it becomes a war zone, bullets and shells are flying all over the sky, and who knows who will end up unlucky?

Secondly, the soldiers in troubled times are like bandits, and if they really encounter some routs who have wandered to the village, who knows what these routs will do. Therefore, the people were not only looking forward to the arrival of the main force of the Eighth Route, but also worried that the place where they were would be reduced to a war zone.

As for the worries of the common people, the armed forces and guerrillas who are behind enemy lines are naturally well aware of them. It's just that they know better that the main force will not enter these small villages and mountains, and will go more towards the cities where the little devils are stationed.

The North China Campaign that started this time is still different from the past. This time, the Eighth Route Army was to wipe out all the Japanese troops stationed in North China. This means that the cities occupied by the Japanese army are all in the attack plan of the Eighth Route Army.

The battle on the front line had just been going on for less than a day, and even the news of the defeat of the Japanese army on the front line began to circulate in the city of Beiping. Many people living in the city have also begun to nervously pack up their personal belongings and leave the city.

Even many people living in Beiping City seem to have such worries. As long as the people who can think of a way to survive, they all leave Beiping City, not wanting to become the artillery fire and victims of the war.

Some smart people, thinking that some time ago, many little devil expatriates in the city suddenly left Beiping, and they realized that this time the little devils were afraid that they would not be able to hold Beiping. Otherwise, why should the expatriates in Beiping be evacuated in advance?

Regarding the departure of a large number of civilians, the Japanese city defense officer stationed in Beiping was also very anxious: "Your Excellency Commander, do you want to block the whole city?" If we let these civilians leave, I'm afraid it will be even more detrimental to our next defense? ”

'What do you want to do?' Don't you know that there are still many foreigners living in Beiping. What do you think the international community will think of us if we do something about detaining civilians?

What's more, the departure of civilians is also more conducive to our next defensive operations. Since those civilians chose to leave, then we will seize the time to build Beiping into a fortified city and fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route here. Go get ready! ’

Although Okamura knew that if these civilians were detained, the Eighth Route Army would be jealous. But he also knew that once he did such a thing, God knows what kind of retaliation the Eighth Route Army would take.

According to the information he obtained, the number of Japanese prisoners and expatriates who have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army is not small. And judging from the current war situation, the chances of the Japanese army winning the final victory in this war are not great.

In this case, Okamura Ninji didn't dare to do anything too much. After all, as a general who is familiar with the Chinese people, he knows that sometimes a proper compromise will bring him more benefits.

When Beiping began to fall into a wave of leaving the city, the foreign consuls who were still stationed in Beiping also began to discuss the next war. In response to the current situation, the foreigners in the concession finally decided to adopt a policy of neutrality.

In a word, whether it is the Eighth Route Army recovering Beiping or the Japanese army defending Beiping, they will not participate and pay too much attention to it. As long as the safety of the current expatriates and consulates in Peking is ensured, they will ignore other matters.

Now that Europe is in the midst of a war, the situation in the Asian theater has become strange. As the people who had the greatest interests in China, Britain and France gradually became aware of the fact that there seemed to be some kind of private cooperation between the Japanese and German armies.

Despite their anger at the betrayal of the Japanese army, Britain and France were now also worried about the safety of their Asian colonies. According to information provided by the U.S. side and the colonial military, the Japanese naval forces were spying on their Asian colonies.

Once they are held back by the Germans, it will be difficult for them to resist the Japanese army, which is now in a state of war at full speed, with their garrisons in Asia alone. This means that Huaxia is also a powerful bargaining chip for them.

Just when the consuls of various countries were paying attention to this battle, the Third Flying Group of the Eighth Route Army, which took off from Zhangjiakou, finally arrived at the Japanese airfield outside Beiping. Looking at the few warplanes that suddenly appeared, the defenders of the airport looked somewhat surprised.

After all, the soldiers guarding the airport could clearly see those fighters, which seemed to be their fighters. But the question is, didn't their fighters say that they were destroyed? So what's going on with these fighters?

Without waiting for the airport guards to react, several fighters that had already entered the sky above the airport suddenly dived. While the defenders on the ground were terrified, the fighter pilots opened heavy fire and strafed the airfield's air defense positions.

Accompanied by the sudden sound of gunfire at the airport, there were also strange warplanes constantly scurrying out of the clouds. No matter how stupid the little devil is, he knows that this is a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army Air Force. For a time, the anti-aircraft weapons of the airfield were also constantly counterattacking.

It's just that the surprise attack of the Eighth Route Army was too sudden, and the airfield received an order from the higher authorities to strengthen air defense not long ago. Despite some responses, they were equally caught off guard by the surprise attack of so many fighters.

Compared with the modified Japanese fighters, most of them only used machine guns for strafing. The cannon of the Eagle fighter is undoubtedly even more shocking. After the two Eagle fighters strafed the oil depot at the airport, a huge explosion burst into the air.

The huge explosion undoubtedly alarmed the city of Beiping, which was some distance away from the airport. In the face of the loud explosion outside the city, many foreign consuls were also surprised and immediately sent people to inquire what was going on.

Not long after, a soldier came in and said, "Consuls, the Japanese military airfield outside the city has been raided. The previous explosion was due to an air strike that detonated their oil depot. More news is still being investigated! ”

As soon as he heard the news, a consul soon said: "It's unimaginable! In such a short period of time, the air force of the Eighth Route Army has such strength. Lawrence, aren't you working with Yan'an? Any news to share? ”

The consul who was questioned was none other than the US military attache stationed in China. It's a pity that the military attache shook his head and said, "I don't know much about cooperation with Yan'an. Major General Sam of the delegation has the right to communicate directly with the President.

However, from what we know so far, the planes used by the Eighth Route Army in the air battle that took place over Shijiazhuang in the morning did not come from the Soviet Union. If the guess is correct, it should be a new fighter developed by themselves! ”

'What? Does the Eighth Route Army now have the capacity to produce aircraft? Do they have industry? ’

Many consuls naturally found it very unbelievable to the US military attaché what he said. But looking at Lawrence's expression, it didn't seem like he was telling a lie. For a while, the consuls of various countries felt that this news was very important!

If the Eighth Route Army even has the strength to manufacture aircraft, then it is necessary for them to pay more attention to the Eighth Route Army. After all, they have colonial interests in Asia, and they really need an ally to keep the crazy Japanese army at bay for them!
