[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 513: The twentieth watch is delivered, and the outbreak is over (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

The current situation in Shandong is not optimistic, and the advantages created by Ma Zheng in the Suicha area will not help much. But Ma Zheng still has his own set of methods, although Ma Zheng also knows very well that the current Eighth Route Army is still an untrusted force in the eyes of the people of Shandong, so what Ma Zheng has to do now is to make a name for himself in Shandong.

It's like selling a product, no matter how durable your product is, but if you don't have a little fame, I'm afraid not many people will buy it. But if your product is good and durable, and it has a lot of fame, then the effect of the brand will be revealed, and the people who buy it will definitely line up at that time. And what he has to do now is to make the signboard bright, make a name for himself, and establish his own brand.

During the first battle of Wuhan, Ma Zheng found that there were so many troops and so many officers of the Nationalist Government, as long as they were officers at the level of battalion commanders, few of them personally commanded the troops to fight on the front line, and food supplies were readily available, so the treatment of the officers of the regular Kuomintang army at that time was very enviable to Ma Zheng, a senior officer of the Eighth Route Army who had stayed in the north for nearly a year.

The living conditions of the Eighth Route Army, whether it is an ordinary soldier or an officer, are the same, and even Ma Zheng himself has not had a good meal for a long time. Especially Ma Zheng himself is not a person of this era, in later generations of special forces like him, the food stipulated by the state is very good, and there are hard dishes of various cuisines, so this has developed Ma Zheng's gluttony.

But after this era, this problem must be corrected, everyone eats the same every day, and Ma Zheng's favorite braised pork and first-class plum vegetables can not be eaten several times a month.

Although the conditions were not satisfactory, Ma Zheng was very happy to come to this great era and witness the miracle of how the Chinese people straightened their waists

On August 10, just three days after Xu Haifeng and others left Jingyanggang, intelligence officers lurking in Yanggu County came with urgent news. Last night, the troops of the Huyan family in Yanggu County have been withdrawn, and the current Yanggu County is an empty city, and the security in the city is jointly presided over by the Wanjia Buddha, the Immortal Dao and the Anlemen.

Because the Huyan family left extremely suddenly, the Japanese army had not yet had time to send troops to take over Yanggu County, so Yanggu County at this time was an undefended city.

Although Ma Zheng also knew that this was the best time to seize Yanggu County, Ma Zheng knew better that as long as the independent division moved now, then the army sent by Major General Segawa Shiro to Yanggu County would definitely not be a small garrison, but a large army at the level of a wing.

Ma Zheng also knew that if the Huyan family withdrew from the Luxi area, then his independent division would become the only Chinese unit in the Liaocheng area that could compete with the 10th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army. Although there are still a few friendly forces in the Lunan region, they are only friendly forces in name.

In fact, Ma Zheng is not very afraid of the Japanese puppet army in Shandong, since he came to this era, Ma Zheng has never been afraid of anything, and his ideological and intellectual advantages make Ma Zheng fearless. It's just that Ma Zheng doesn't want to start a fierce frontal conflict with the Japanese puppet army before his troops and horses are ready, so that even if he can win, the casualties will be enough to make him feel distressed.

However, the current situation does not allow Ma Zheng to be careless, and the Japanese will finally realize that the Eighth Route Army will be their new challenge, and this day will not be too far away. The guerrilla troops from the Eighth Route Army have already restrained more than half of the Japanese puppet forces in North China to a certain extent, and if this continues, the Japanese army's energy on the frontal battlefield will be seriously depleted, so if the Japanese army still dreams of capturing Chinese mainland, then it will inevitably turn back and solve the rear occupation areas first.

In fact, the Japanese view of the Eighth Route Army has changed, from sneering at the beginning to avoiding the flood beasts later. The offensive mode of guerrilla warfare and the Eighth Route Army was to accumulate small victories into big victories, and to cause qualitative changes from quantitative changes, which was exactly Ma Zheng's understanding of the essence of guerrilla warfare.

Frequent attacks caused the Japanese army's never-healing wounds to continue to bleed, and every day one insignificant victory after another in various places made more and more Chinese, who were regarded by the Japanese army as pigs and dogs, become increasingly strong resisters. Each of the small battles that killed a dozen, several, or even a Japanese soldier was difficult to record, but because of its ubiquity and frequent occurrence, it was bound to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army without realizing it.

The change in the attitude of the Japanese army towards the Eighth Route Army is of course due to the reasons of the Eighth Route Army itself, and more importantly, the chain reaction caused by the twists and turns of the Eighth Route Army.

Based on the information collected by the Special High-Tech Branch and the information obtained by Hattori Zangchen's secret reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army, Sugiyama Motomo jointly presented a letter to the Japanese emperor.

Out of respect for the main opponent of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield in North China, General Sugiyama Mototo and Major General Hattori Kuratomi wrote: "...... From Showa 12 to July this year, the North China Front of the Imperial Japanese Army engaged the Communist Army 3,524 times, mobilizing more than 200,000 troops, but the combat effect was very small. According to reliable intelligence, the total strength of the Eighth Route Army has exceeded 400,000, and in one battle, in order to cope with the attack of the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Eighth Route Army dispatched a total of 300,000 troops. ”

And Hattori also pointed out in his analysis: "...... Most of the enemy was Tubalu, and contrary to Chiang's army, in the middle of this year, in the battle with the imperial army in North China, Tubalu could account for seventy percent of five. Of the 159,000 enemy bodies that our side contained, Tubalu also accounted for half. But in comparison, of the 175,000 captives I contained, only one-fifth of them were in the country. On the one hand, this exposed the weakness of the Chongqing Army, and at the same time, it also showed the high-spirited fighting consciousness of the Eighth Road...... Therefore, the future task of the North China Imperial Army is to deal with the extremely base areas of the Tu Eighth Route in China, and to carry out extermination operations against the Tu Eighth Route Army entrenched in North China, which is an important mission of the North China Imperial Army in the future."

A number of high-ranking officers of the Japanese army issued vigilant calls for vigilance against the Eighth Route Army, and Japan had to pay attention to the voices of these veterans in the army, so soon the front-line commanders received orders from the base camp on the strategic adjustment of the invasion of China.

Of course, because the Eighth Route Army's attacks were relatively concealed except for the Suicha Military Region under Ma Zheng's department, compared to the Nationalist Government entrenched in the southwest region, the Eighth Route Army could really only be regarded as a small piece of psoriasis, and it was not worth mentioning at all. Therefore, the base camp of the Japanese army only made a small change in its strategy toward China, and did not turn the main direction of attack to the Eighth Route Army, which is also a blessing in misfortune. But even such a small change is not remarkable, and it also makes the Eighth Route Army feel pressure.

Because of this, Ma Zheng knew that even if he didn't do anything now, the Japanese army would make major strategic adjustments, and in the future, the survival pressure of all units of the Eighth Route Army would be even greater, and the situation would be even more severe.

According to the Japanese war history "China Incident in the Battle Log", the Japanese North China Front had regarded the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army as the "biggest cancer" in 1940, and edited the "Guide to Suppressing the Communist Party" to inform the whole army.

And this is only historical information, but now due to the appearance of Ma Zheng, the North China Front of the Japanese Army has suffered heavy losses in the hands of Ma Zheng, and the lieutenant general and major general have lost more than a dozen, and the Japanese army must have a relatively clear understanding of the Eighth Route Army for the Eighth Route Army, and this strategic transfer is likely to be advanced.

However, Ma Zheng was still very calm in his heart, and he still had a lot of experience in dealing with the Japanese army, and he already had a set of relatively mature tactics in his heart -- he insisted on the tactics of combining guerrilla warfare with regular warfare, and believed that with this magic weapon, he would inevitably reverse the unfavorable situation in Shandong.
