Perhaps the Kwantung Army never dreamed that the Eighth Route Army would dare to take the initiative to attack them when they reached an armistice agreement with the Soviet Far East Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and even this kind of attack makes them panic in their hearts.

On the battlefield, it is very important to know yourself and your opponent. But with the strength of the Eighth Route Army revealed little by little, the Japanese army would be shocked every time. And this time, the appearance of the armored brigade undoubtedly shook the Japanese army again.

According to the latest intelligence detected by the Japanese army, in this campaign to attack Fuxin, the Northeast Field Army under the command of He Zhengdao actually used armored troops, and the number of tanks alone was as high as hundreds.

Perhaps this number is nothing compared to the armored tanks currently owned by the Kwantung Army. But thinking of the air force units of the Eighth Route Army before, no one dared to guarantee the ticket, and was sure that the Eighth Route Army only had about 100 tanks and armored combat vehicles.

So how much strength is the Eighth Route Army, which has been developing in Shaanxi for several years, hidden now? From the planes and tanks that appeared on the battlefield, it can be guessed that the Eighth Route Army is only afraid of having a large ordnance production base.

Where is this base? And how big is it? And how much weapons and equipment were produced? This was all information that the Japanese army was eager to know. But the problem is that they can't collect this information at all.

When the Kwantung Army began to worry about the safety of Mukden City, the Dongye Third Column, which had previously reserved a certain amount of space, officially launched an offensive against the entire territory of Jinzhou. The remnants of the Second Division of the Kwantung Army, which were constantly retreating, could only continue to retreat.

Originally, he wanted to recover Jinxi, which was occupied by the Eighth Route Army, but who wanted Jinxi to recover, but lost Jinzhou. Such a result is something that many people did not expect earlier.

As the Northeast Field Army began to counterattack, Okamura Ninji, who had previously counted on the Kwantung Army to do something, completely died of waiting for the Kwantung Army's support. Not long after, he secretly ordered the troops to retreat in the direction of Tianxi.

The first to discover the retreat of the Japanese army was the Northeast Field Army deployed near Beiping. According to He Zhengdao's order earlier, most of the troops deployed in this area carried out raids and harassment warfare, hoping to contain the Japanese troops deployed here in North China.

But suddenly, the troops in charge of reconnaissance of the enemy's situation found that the Japanese defensive position, which was originally fully manned, suddenly changed to a group of troops to defend. They immediately realized that the little devil had played a trick on them.

The troops guarding the defensive positions at this moment were not the elite troops of the Japanese army in North China at all. It is the two devil troops who wear the uniform of the little devils, and the puppet army troops drawn from all over the country.

After receiving the telegram from the troops at the front, He Zhengdao immediately said: "Send a report to the boss and send this information back immediately." The Independent Cavalry Brigade stationed in Chengde was ordered to immediately march towards Beiping City and pursue the Japanese troops who were trying to escape.

In addition, a telegram was sent to the 35th Army, asking them to send cavalry units to block the passage from Beiping to Tianyin. Even if you can't stop them with all your might, you must destroy their roads and bridges and delay their retreat.

At the same time, a telegram was sent to the new 1st Division of the 3rd Column, ordering them to immediately exert pressure in the direction of Beiping. I have to say that Okamura Ningji, an old devil, is really cunning, and he is ready to slip away when he sees that the situation is wrong! ”

'Commander, do you mean, the little devil wants to give up Beiping? ’

Only this explanation can be in line with the current actions of the little devils in Beiping. And the information forwarded from Tianyin, the little devils are building fortifications on a large scale outside Tianyin, what do you think they want to do?

There are now a total of 20,000 or 30,000 Japanese troops left in North China, and if you want to hold Beiping and Tianyin, does the chief of staff think it is possible? Instead of being trapped in Beiping, it is better to give up Beiping and go all out to defend Tianxi. In that case, they still have a chance to live.

Although we have now regained some air supremacy, I believe that the little devils will not be so afraid. Once they know the details of our situation, they will inevitably send more air forces to regain air supremacy in North China.

With the Air Force and Navy cooperating with them, do you think we can successfully capture Tianxi? On the contrary, for the little devils, as long as they hold the estuary of Tianyin, they can increase their troops at any time to counterattack us. ’

As He Zhengdao speculated, Ye Jianying also felt very reasonable. After sending the telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu, who received the telegram, also felt that He Zhengdao's speculation was very reasonable.

It seems that the little devil is really not simple, and he also understands the truth of a strong man's broken wrist. Abandon a Beiping that was emptied by them, defend Tianyi with all our might, and rely on their powerful naval forces, we really can't do anything about them! ’

Mr. Zhu, who said this, once again stared at the combat map spread out on the table. After a while, he said: "Send a telegram to the 120th and 129th Divisions, and order them to speed up the speed and strive to converge with the 35th Army in the shortest possible time."

In addition, the 115th Division was ordered to keep a main regiment to take over the defense of Shijiazhuang, and the rest of the troops immediately rushed to the vicinity of Tianyin. Without my orders, you are not allowed to attack the stubborn enemy. I'm going to see what tricks the little devils want to play.

At the same time, he called back to Dongye and ordered their troops in Chengde and Jidong to cooperate with the operations of the headquarters. Since the little devil plans to give up Beiping City, we must take Beiping City in the shortest possible time.

All the troops participating in the battle, while marching to Beiping with all their might, should also pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army in Tianyan. Once encountering the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army, immediately set up a defensive position outside its blocking line and wait for the encirclement of the large army! ”

In Mr. Zhu's view, North China has now entered winter. Although it has not yet snowed, the consumption is still very high for the combat troops. If it is possible to recover Beiping before the heavy snow falls, it will be a happy event.

As for Tianyin, Mr. Zhu felt that as long as the current base areas in North China were connected. In the future, whether it is Tianxian or the Qinhuangdao area that has not yet been recovered, the Eighth Route Army has a way to slowly clean them up.

Since the little devils are reluctant to these two places, they are bound to station heavy troops in these two places. In this way, for the Eighth Route Army and the entire Anti-Japanese War situation, it can still play a role in containing the main force of the Japanese army.

After such consideration, Mr. Zhu felt that this plan was undoubtedly the most beneficial to the current Eighth Route Army. With the issuance of Mr. Zhu's order, the departments of the Eighth Route Army that received the combat order also immediately adjusted their combat deployment.

At this moment, Okamura Ningji, who had already taken a military train and began to transfer to Tianyin, stared at Beiping City at night before getting on the train, and said somewhat reluctantly: "I don't know, can I still come back!" ”

For Okamura Ningci, it is really very reluctant to give up this Beiping City that was finally occupied. He knew very well that once Beiping was recovered by the Eighth Route Army, he also realized that the Eighth Route Army really owned the entire northern region of China.

When Shaanxi, Jin, Hebei, Suihe, and Rehe, which were important places in Beiping, became the liberated areas of the Eighth Route Army. In the future, if the Japanese army wants to recover these places, the price it will need to pay is unbelievable.

Just when Okamura Ninji was a little reluctant to leave, a staff officer said in a slightly anxious manner: "Your Excellency Commander, I just received a telegram from the front line!" 100,000 urgent! ”

Looking at the telegram handed over, Okamura Ninji also sighed and said: "The Eighth Route Army has become a big problem for the empire. Our retreat was so secretive, yet they still saw through our strategic intentions.

Fortunately, we are all ready for this evacuation. The troops were ordered to board the vehicles and immediately leave for Tianyin. The defensive blocking forces along the line will carry out the blocking attack at all costs. All the retreating departments must also board the bus and evacuate by tomorrow night! ”

While lamenting that the Eighth Route Army had discovered their retreat intentions so quickly, Okamura Ninji also seemed relieved. Because, before the Eighth Route Army launched the North China Campaign, Okamura Ninji had always retained this retreat channel.

Most of the elite troops now deployed on the front line have been safely withdrawn and can board and leave at any time. And on the front line, there are still some warriors who are determined to sacrifice their lives for the empire, leading the attached army and fighting for the empire with the puppet army.

Even these troops can't stop the imposing Eighth Route Army. But Okamura Ninji believed that it was also impossible for them to break through in a short period of time, or even cut off their way back.

As Okamura Ninji expected, the attached army and the puppet army, who did not know about the abandonment, began to launch a frantic resistance to the various units of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of some Japanese officers who dared to die.

Even if He Zhengdao and the 35th Army from Chengde, each dispatched a cavalry unit to launch a surprise attack. But they still found that the speed of the little devil's retreat was far faster than they imagined.

Even in Beiping City, Okamura Ninji still deployed a defensive force. The city guards who stayed behind were also determined to die for the empire. And in Beiping City, which has been under martial law for several days, many people can't find out this information at all.

Wait until the cavalry brigade of the 35th Army, and two days later the troops will come to the city of Beiping. The consuls and civilians of the various countries who were still staying in the city knew that the elite Japanese army in the city had already quietly left Beiping and ran to Tianyin.

Accompanying the cavalry brigade of the 35th Army arrived was the Second Reconnaissance Regiment sent to the 35th Army by He Zhengdao earlier. Looking at Beiping City in the distance, the officers and men of the reconnaissance regiment who were marching all the way seemed very excited.

'Commander, this is Beiping City?' ’

'Hmmm! This is Beiping City! We finally hit the city of Beiping! ’

The commander of the reconnaissance regiment, who was also excited, knew very well how high the status of Beiping was in the hearts of the Chinese people. Even at this moment, there are still Japanese puppet troops in Beiping City, but he knows that those defenders are all shelves.

But even so, the commander of the reconnaissance regiment still said: "Let the sharp knife platoon prepare, and try to find a way to infiltrate it at night." In addition, there was a telegram to the commander of the headquarters, asking for instructions on the next combat action.

Although we don't have many troops now, with the cooperation of the cavalry brigade, maybe we will have a chance to be the first to enter Beiping and recover Beiping City. By the time the large army arrives, perhaps we will have brought the situation in Beiping under control. ”

Thinking that such a great achievement was about to come, the commander of the reconnaissance regiment also seemed a little excited. But he knew that He Zhengdao did not want to be in the limelight for this North China campaign.

It's just that the rest of the troops haven't arrived yet, and if he continues to delay, he doesn't know what will happen in the city. For this reason, it is still very necessary to send a telegram for instructions!
