[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 881: Jiajiaying Resistance Battle (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

On August 8, 1940, this day was the fifth day of the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, the beginning of autumn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, the beginning of autumn was the time when the common people were working hard in the fields, but this year was different, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops disrupted the rhythm of the people's lives like locusts crossing the border.

However, the Suicha Military Region was forced to respond to the battle, insisting on fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and all the civilians in the places where the Japanese army passed were withdrawn, and all the wells were sealed, leaving no chance for the Japanese army.

Although the North China Front Headquarters issued an order prohibiting the massacre of civilians, it did not prohibit those Japanese soldiers from sabotaging in the defense area of the Suicha Military Region.

Whenever they occupied a place, the Japanese army first set fire to the houses, and then sent chariot troops to wantonly destroy the farmland, a large amount of farmland was devastated, the crops that had just grown were destroyed, and the Suicha Military Region suffered heavy losses.

It has to be said that the top echelons of the North China Front have indeed made great efforts in this regard, and Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji is even more worthy of being called a China expert, and he is indeed very good at studying China's customs and habits and basic national conditions. His move really made Ma Zheng feel a lot of pressure, but there was no solution.

Fortunately, the Suicha Military Region had already done a good job of clearing the fortified walls in advance, so the casualties were not very large. In addition, the brutality of the Japanese army also aroused the fierce resistance of the army and the people, and now many ordinary people took the initiative to come to help when the troops were fighting, and although they did not participate in direct battles, they had to undertake the work of building fortifications or destroying roads, which strongly supported the operations of the Suicha Military Region.

And Ma Zheng also believes that there are only two best ways to inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers, the first is to win the battle, so that the soldiers can see the dawn of victory. On the other hand, it is to use the cruelty of the enemy to arouse the hatred in the hearts of the soldiers, and then achieve the goal of uniting the whole body to hate the enemy.

The second point is that Ma Zheng didn't need to do anything, because the Japanese army had laid hidden dangers for itself at the beginning of the attack, and when Ma Zheng sent the information collected by the intelligence department about the Japanese army's wanton massacre of Chinese civilians and the slaughter of villages and ethnic groups at every turn, to each division, and let each division transmit the information to the grassroots soldiers.

Soon, the troops gave Ma Zheng feedback to Ma Zheng about the dynamics of some soldiers after reading the information, and the vast majority of the soldiers were very excited after reading the information, and vowed to fight the Japanese army to the end, Ma Zheng used the cruelty of the Japanese army to successfully arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

However, Ma Zheng knew that this alone was not enough to make the Suicha Military Region win easily, and there were still hidden dangers that had to be paid attention to in this practice of boosting fighting spirit, that is, the fighting spirit inspired by hatred could easily get out of control, and the fighters would lose control of their emotions during the battle, thus affecting the overall layout of the military region.

Therefore, while stimulating the hatred of the soldiers, it is also necessary to let the soldiers vent a little with the joy of victory, so Ma Zheng sent this task to the second division and the fourth brigade. Of course, just as Ma Zheng said in the telegram sent to Yang Chengwu, it also meant to teach the Japanese army a lesson for misdeeds.

On August 9, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Wenqing's unit arrived at Jiajiaying, about half a day earlier than expected.

After the troops arrived at Jiajiaying, they didn't take a break, and immediately began to arrange the battlefield, at this time Jiajiaying had become an empty village, and there was no one else in the village except for a dozen elderly people with impaired mobility who continued to stay in the village.

According to the reports of the cavalry dispatched, the forward of the 35th Division was already very close to Jiajiaying, and their cavalry search team had already appeared on the periphery of Jiajiaying, and Li Wenqing expected that the Japanese army would be able to reach Jiajiaying tomorrow at the latest.

After all, the Japanese army is now accustomed to the combat methods of the Eighth Route Army, so the Japanese army does not march at night in general, and a large number of troops must be left to patrol at night to prevent being attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

It was not early now, and it would be dark in two hours at most, so Li Wenqing judged that the 35th Division would definitely not be able to reach Jiajiaying today, and it happened that the 1st Brigade could take this opportunity to arrange the battlefield, otherwise the battlefield would have to move back.

As Li Wenqing expected, in fact, by 6 p.m., the forward search squadron of the 35th Division was already less than 10 kilometers away from Jiajiaying, and it would arrive in half an hour. However, out of caution, Maeda ordered his troops to halt their advance and set up camp on the spot.

Three hours later, three regiment commanders of the Fourth Brigade and a team of engineers responsible for installing heavy mines came back to report that the battlefield had been arranged. Li Wenqing understands that what should be done now has been done, and whether it will be achieved depends on tomorrow.

On August 10th, today's weather was good, there was no wind, and the sun, which was not too strong, gave the earth a hint of autumn.

Lieutenant General Maeda's mood is also the same as today's weather, with a bright spring and sunny day. When he woke up in the morning, Maeda ate two servings of sushi for the first time, and made an exception to drink sake during the march.

Last night, news came from Jining that his nephew and son Ichiro Sakurai Shaozo had been successfully rescued and was in good health. There was no damage, and there was not a single point missing from the parts on the body.

Although he also released the Shina spy, can the Shina spy compare with Ichiro? In the eyes of Lieutenant General Maeda, this deal was still earned by himself, and if the Shina people used Ichiro to blackmail him, he didn't know how much he would have to pay to save his son.

Osamu Maeda, who was in a good mood, also infected many people, and saw that His Excellency, the division commander, was finally no longer cloudy. All the soldiers and officers were shocked, he did not expect His Excellency, the commander of the division, who had always seemed to be mild-mannered, to be so violent.

In just over 10 days, two lieutenants were dismissed from their posts because of inappropriate remarks, and a military officer was even cut in two by His Excellency the brigade commander because he seriously violated military discipline and implicated the reputation of His Excellency the division commander. Now that His Excellency the division commander has finally returned to normal, they don't have to talk and act as fearfully as before.

After breakfast, under the orders of Osamu Maeda, the entire 35th Division began to move. Osamu Maeda took the map and looked at it, and said to the lieutenant who was operating the chariot next to him: "Yamamoto, the next stop is the Jia family camp!" ”

"Hay!"

As soon as they walked less than 10 kilometers, the search team in front returned and reported that a large number of Zhina troops had appeared on the front line of Jiajiaying, which was 10 kilometers away, and judging by their clothing alone, it should be the troops of Ma Zheng's headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, with a number of no less than 10,000 people.

At the same time, the Chinese army built a large number of fortifications on the periphery of Jiajiaying, and their cavalry search party was also placed three kilometers away. And they have already exchanged fire with the search team of the 35th Division, and the losses on both sides are not small.

"Nani? You said that more than 10,000 units appeared in Jiajiaying, not guerrillas, not bandits, but the real Eighth Route Army Ma Zheng's department? Osamu Maeda asked in surprise.

Although Jiajiaying is the gateway to Chicheng, Jiajiaying is almost a small village that can be defended without danger, and it is not conducive to the defense of the eight roads, but it is very suitable for their large army to attack, especially the assault of the chariot troops, how can the people of China stop them in this place.

Originally, only when Maeda Osamu arrived in Akagi could he encounter the real resistance of Ma Zheng's troops, and even their chariot troops. But he didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to appear in Jiajiaying, which surprised Maeda Osamu and had to consider whether there was any conspiracy in the Zhina army.

But after thinking about it, he didn't think about what the Eighth Route Army wanted to do, but out of extreme confidence in the combat effectiveness of his 35th Division, Maeda Osamu still ordered to move on.

Maeda Osamu has always believed that all conspiracies and tricks are vulnerable in the face of absolute strength, and defeating the strong with the weak is a minority after all, even if the front of the Shina army really has some unsavory conspiracy, but without absolute strength, it is only a futile laugh. He Maeda Osamu is here to clean up the people of China this time, how can he retreat when he sees the enemy, so there is only one word - fight! (To be continued.) )
