However, what Ma Zheng didn't expect was that Wei Lihuang and Yan Xishan also moved, and without informing him, the three group armies of the first and second theaters also began to assemble, and it seemed that they would also practice their skills. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ma Zheng analyzed the current battlefield situation, the Japanese puppet army in the Pingjin area is now all mobilized, and the same is true of the main force of the devils on the battlefield in Hebei, in addition to the 26th Division stationed in Baoding, the main force of the 32nd Division and the 9th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade one went north to reinforce Beiping, and the other was ordered to go south to reinforce Handan.

On the Shanxi battlefield, although the First Army of the Japanese Army had five divisions and two independent mixed brigades, it had to deal with the pressure from the Suicha Military Region and the First and Second Theaters, and the situation was not optimistic.

It can be said that now the entire North China Front Army has two divisions and a mixed brigade in addition to the Second Army stationed in Shandong, and only the 110th Division and the First Division in eastern Hebei can also serve as mobile forces, and the other troops have all been dispatched, which shows that there are not many reserves in the hands of Okamura Ningji, so Ma Zheng feels that it is time to add fire to the little devil.

On April 10, Ma Zheng ordered the integrated 2nd Division and other units in the Pingjin Battlefield to attack on all fronts and launch the most fierce attack on the so-called security area of the Japanese army as planned. At the same time, Ma Zheng also contacted the First War Zone and the Second War Zone, hoping that they would send troops to Shanxi and contain the First Army of the Japanese Army in the land of Sanjin.

Wei Lihuang and Yan Xishan apparently also received a death order from the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, and they readily agreed, and on the same day, the Sixth Army and the Fourth Army of the Second Theater attacked from Luliang and Linfen and headed straight for Taiyuan. The two divisions of the 14th Group Army, the main force of the First Theater of Operations, also set out from Luoyang and came towards the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

The fierce attack of the Third Route Army made the North China Front quite unbearable, especially the situation in the Pingjin Battlefield, although the Japanese army in the Pingjin Battlefield had gathered two divisions and two mixed brigades, and there were also three puppet army divisions, with a total strength of more than 80,000 troops, and the North China Front Temporary Air Force was in the vicinity to cooperate in the operation, but the situation on the front line was still not optimistic.

The town of Gujiaying was bombed into ruins last night, and if it weren't for the urgent arrival of the 16th Division, the Japanese troops in Gujiaying Town would probably have been wiped out in this small town in northern China.

Peiping. Command of the North China Front.

At this time, the operational command room of the North China Front Army was in a hurry, and the bad news from the front line came one after another, which made General Okamura Ninji feel quite powerless.

"Report!"

"Say!"

"Your Excellency Commander, the base camp has called, the four newly formed infantry divisions in China have already boarded the ship in the port of Yokohama, and according to the itinerary, they will arrive in Tianjin in a week at most."

"Yo Xi!"

This is undoubtedly excellent news, the front army can still support it in just a week, and the fresh force of the four divisions is a powerful force, and when the time comes, together with the secret weapons of the front army, it will definitely be able to defeat the attack of the Chinese people in one fell swoop.

However, Admiral Okamura's good mood lasted less than ten minutes, and another bad news from the front broke his good mood.

"Nani, do you find the Chinese army one after the other?" Admiral Okamura Ninji asked in surprise.

"Hai, I just received an urgent telegram from the defenders of Zhulu County, one of their sweeping troops found a huge Chinese army on the way to conduct a security patrol, and the two sides had an encounter when it was too late to retreat, an infantry squadron of the imperial army was completely wiped out, and now the Chinese are storming Zhulu County, Sasaki Shaozo asked the headquarters to give strong reinforcements immediately, otherwise Zhulu City will soon be occupied by the Chinese people!" The adjutant of staff reported loudly.

"Chase the deer!" Okamura Ninji hurriedly unfolded the map to find this small county town in North China, and soon this county town marked with an important sign appeared in Okamura Ninji's eyes. As a diagram tool, General Okamura Ninji suddenly gasped.

Less than 150 kilometers, if Zhulu City is captured, with the marching speed of the Zhina army, it will be able to reach the Beiping City in a day at most, and if the number of this Zhina army is large enough and the combat effectiveness is strong enough, they can also flank the 10th and 16th divisions together with the troops on the Xiayuan front, and the consequences are really unimaginable.

"Send a report to Sasaki immediately, and let him immediately find out how many Shina troops there are outside Zhulu City, how are the weapons and equipment, and are there any heavy weapons?" Senior General Okamura Ninji said hurriedly.

"Hay!"

Soon, the adjutant of staff asked clearly, and came back to report: "Your Excellency Commander, Sasaki Shaosa said that the number of Shina troops outside Zhulu City is very large, and it is initially estimated that there should be an infantry brigade, with extremely sophisticated weapons and equipment, not only a large number of automatic firepower, but also more than 75mm artillery, and more than one. In addition, they also found that there were a large number of cars in the Chinese army, and these cars were towed with heavy artillery behind them, but the Chinese people had not used heavy artillery to attack the city so far. ”

General Okamura Ninji gasped again, a brigade has at least 5,000 people. According to the confirmation of the intelligence department, the Suicha Military Region has recently formed a number of new independent garrison brigades, and it is very likely that this attack will be one of them.

More than 5,000 men, and armed with heavy artillery, it seems that that the abominable Shina man was planning to make him, the commander of the front of the great Japanese Imperial Army, his prisoner, bastard!

As for the question of why the Chinese did not attack the city with heavy artillery, Okamura did not delve into it, Zhulu City is just a small county town, and it is a little wasteful to attack the city with 75mm mountain artillery and field artillery.

"Miyamoto, you immediately send a report to Sasaki's department, ordering them to hold the county seat of Zhulu at all costs, and the front army will immediately send troops to reinforce them, even if he is the only one left in the fight, he can't retreat. At the same time, the 26th Division of Baoding was ordered to immediately send elite troops north to reinforce Zhulu. In addition, make another call to the 1st Independent Wing and ask them to immediately build a defensive position in the western suburbs of Beiping, just in case. Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji said.

"Hay!"

After doing this, General Okamura Ningji was still a little uneasy, and the actions of Ma Zheng's department were always unexpected, which made him very uneasy, and during the two months he was in charge of the North China Front, he conducted a long study and analysis of Ma Zheng's department, according to a large amount of information he had.

During this period, he discovered a rule, that is, Ma Zheng's troops generally do not launch large-scale battles at will, but once they do, they will not stop fighting. Moreover, what Ma Zheng is best at in combat is to encircle and attack the west, and kill every blow, acting decisively and ruthlessly, this force on the side of chasing deer is likely to be Ma Zheng's killer weapon, and must be dealt with carefully.

In addition, Ma Zheng has to open battlefields frequently in various places before launching a major war, and several battlefields must be opened in each battle, each battlefield seems to be the main battlefield, but in fact, the real killer weapon will only be arranged in one place.

Take the last Battle of North China as an example, in addition to the Pingjin battlefield, Ma Zheng's troops also launched attacks on the front army in eastern Hebei, southern Hebei, northern Shanxi and other places, these places seem to be fiercely fighting, especially in the direction of Beiping, the people of China even once came to the city of Beiping. But in fact, a careful analysis can see that Ma Zheng's purpose is not to take Beiping at all, but to create opportunities for other battlefields.

As a result, in that battle alone, the Front lost nearly 100,000. The most important thing is that he lost the initiative in strategy, which made Okamura Ninji have to deal with it carefully, trying to analyze the real combat intentions of Ma Zheng's troops this time.

After thinking about it, Okamura Ningji still didn't find out the real combat intentions of Ma Zheng's department this time, if Ma Zheng's department was thinking about taking Beiping City this time, Okamura Ningji felt that it was unlikely.

Not to mention that there are at least seventy or eighty thousand imperial troops near Beiping City, plus the imperial expatriates who can be mobilized, there are at least 120,000 people. Not to mention that the 110th Division and the 1st Division were both stationed within 200 kilometers of Beiping City, if it was really necessary, it would only take a day by car, so Okamura Ninji did not think that Ma Zheng was fighting for Beiping.
