[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 536: Zhang Tieji (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Although Otaka Kamizo was full of confidence, he obviously did not see the situation clearly, and he did not see clearly at all that the intention of Ma Zheng's troops in this operation was not to occupy much territory, but to mess up the situation in Shandong. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info only by muddying the water can they evacuate Luxi.

Therefore, when the Japanese reinforcements continued to pour into Liaocheng, Ma Zheng's headquarters quietly pulled out, and the main force urgently withdrew to southern Hebei, leaving only Lei Zhenhua and three elite infantry battalions to deal with the enemy in Luxi.

Of course, in order to ensure Lei Zhenhua's personal safety and the needs of the war, Ma Zheng deliberately left a 60-member special operations team to work together. Although the three infantry battalions add up to a small 2,000 people, they are scattered in Yanggu, but there are not necessarily many in Shen County, Dong'e and other counties, and the strategic room for maneuver is not small, and it is not easy for the Japanese army to annihilate them.

Ma Zheng also took a fancy to this point and left so reassuringly, after all, staying here can certainly contain some of the Japanese army, and at the same time, it can also confuse the Japanese army in Shandong and divert the attention of the Japanese army, but it also leaves the danger to Lei Zhenhua and others.

The Japanese army's military intelligence and reconnaissance capability is still very strong, and in particular, it is very difficult for the Japanese army to detect radio waves. Ma Zheng himself was powerless at this point, although he himself knew very well what this meant to the Eighth Route Army. However, he himself did not learn radio communication technology, and although he also knew a little about anti-reconnaissance technology, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he had no tools and corresponding equipment, so Ma Zheng himself could only warn Lei Zhenhua to turn on the radio station as little as possible, and to contact the division headquarters and various battalions as little as possible.

Lei Zhenhua still attaches great importance to Ma Zheng's admonition, after all, there is a lesson from the past. The reason why the more than 20,000 troops under the jurisdiction of the former Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government fell apart in just half a month was that in addition to the traitors' tip-offs, the radio signals of the provincial government were searched by the Japanese army and some patterns were found, so they could attack the headquarters so accurately.

Major General Kikui's movement was very large, but the actual results achieved were not good. More than 20,000 troops poured into Luxi at once, but they were surprised to find that all the enemies who had been overwhelming before disappeared all at once.

In order to find that group of hateful enemies, the Japanese army quickly expanded the search area. However, the main force of Ma Zheng's department has been withdrawn, and no matter how much he searches, it is impossible to achieve results.

A few days later, the undetermined Major General Kikui even divided his troops into squadrons as the basic combat units for a carpet search, and in his words, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he had to find out those hateful Shina people.

Besides, the three elite infantry battalions left by Ma Zheng's department, if the Japanese army had maintained a search unit of the size of a brigade, Lei Zhenhua would not dare to make any changes, but this time the Japanese army itself dispersed the troops, which would be a good opportunity for Lei Zhenhua.

The speed at which Ma Zheng's subordinates moved was very fast, to the point that even Ma Zheng himself was surprised. In just three days, the first brigade that opened the road in front of it had all withdrawn from Luxi, although it was still far away from southern Hebei, but it was far away from Yanggu County, the center of the storm.

At the same time, the main forces of the other two brigades under Ma Zheng's department also began a large-scale transfer of thousands of miles. In order to ensure that there were no accidents on the way to transfer, Ma Zheng ordered Lei Zhenhua to lead the three infantry battalions left in Liaocheng to do their best to hold back the main force of the Japanese army.

Although Lei Zhenhua and others were exposed to the Japanese firepower in this way, Ma Zheng still believed in Lei Zhenhua's command level. As one of the several middle and senior officers who have followed Ma Zheng for the longest time, Lei Zhenhua has already done his best to Ma Zheng's true inheritance, although there are still certain deficiencies in strategy, but in terms of tactics, Lei Zhenhua is already very good, at least it is enough to deal with these second-line troops of the Japanese army.

The large army went out day and night, and it took less than a week to reach Zhang Tieji, Daming County, Hebei Province. As far as the entire map is concerned, Daming County is already one of the southernmost counties in Hebei Province, and Zhang Tieji is the closest township to Shandong in Daming County.

The reason why Ma Zheng chose Zhang Tieji as the assembly place of the independent division is that, on the one hand, it is the intersection of Shandong, Hebei and Henan, although it is not a strategic place, but it is still very beneficial to develop here.

At the same time, Ma Zheng also knew that the enemy's ruling power in areas with better conditions was also strong. If Ma Zheng in the past would definitely go head-on, in his own words, his Ma Zheng's troops would be elite.

However, the situation is different now, and southern Hebei has always been a key area ruled by the Japanese army, and it is a strategic point for the Japanese army to focus on prevention. At this time, the strength of the independent division was scattered, many troops had not yet been rebuilt, and even Chen Guangsuo's department, which came to meet him, was still 300 miles away. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Ma Zheng still decided to gather troops in the small place of Zhang Tieji, and then develop to other counties and districts in Hebei.

The sudden assembly of a large number of Chinese troops in southern Hebei soon aroused the great attention of the Japanese military leaders stationed in China, although they did not know where these troops came from, but they were quite taboo against the Japanese troops of the Eighth Route Army in the north.

In the words of a letter to the Japanese emperor from General Sugiyama Mototo, commander of the Japanese North China Front, he said: "The government of China has lost its important industrial cities along the coast, and in addition to a large number of people controlled by our empire, its most important economic lifeline is also in the hands of the empire...... However, the Eighth Route Army, which had flowed to the north of China, had become a climate and posed a mortal threat to the Imperial Japanese Army, which was generally not strong in combat effectiveness, and although its weapons and equipment had been greatly improved, it was still an opponent of the empire from time to time. However, the army is extremely capable of agitation, and can sometimes pull up a peasant army of tens or even hundreds of thousands in a very short period of time, and sometimes there will be a force with extremely strong combat effectiveness, such as the Ma Zheng subordinate in the Suicha area......"

All in all, the Japanese army now attaches great importance to the Eighth Route Army, especially for those units that suddenly appeared and were not recorded in the special high-tech archives before, the Japanese army is the target of key strikes, and they really can't withstand the appearance of Ma Zheng No. 2.

A horse Zheng has caused the Japanese army to lose its troops, lose its land and lose its city, and lose face. What is even more embarrassing is that although the top level of the Japanese army has deeply realized the horror of Ma Zheng's department, they still have no way to take Ma Zheng. The Suicha Military Region not only firmly controlled the two provinces, but also radiated to the surrounding areas, and there were traces of their activities in northern Shanxi, Renan, and eastern Hebei.

There is even information that the Chinese have also established their own heavy industrial base in the Suicha area, from which weapons and ammunition are being produced in a steady stream and transported to other base areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army.

All senior commanders, including General Sugiyama Motomoto, were well aware of this fact, because the news from various battlefields showed that the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army at this time had changed qualitatively. Most importantly, the ammunition of the Eighth Route Army has become abundant, although the amount of ammunition equipped by each person when fighting is still less than a quarter of that of the Imperial soldiers, but the 50 rifle rounds per person is already ten times that of the original Eighth Route Army.

After paying huge casualties and exposing a number of hidden piles, the senior spies of the special high-tech finally figured it out, and established a number of large-scale arsenals in Baotou, Guisui, Zhuozishan and other places controlled by the Neigu Military Region, and also established many supporting industrial infrastructure, and initially had its own industrial base, and all this was established under the nose of the Imperial Japanese Army.

The Japanese army was greatly panicked about this, and a Tubalu using "Wanguo" weapons could inflict huge casualties on the Imperial Japanese Army, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, which had a complete industrial base, and with the support of the Suicha Heavy Industry Base, its combat effectiveness would inevitably increase exponentially.

The angry General Sugiyama Mototo ordered Aiko Sato and Hattori to destroy this heavy industry base at all costs, and Sato Aiko and others naturally did not dare to slack off, and sent spies to Baotou level to destroy them many times, and even dispatched precious bombers, but everything was in vain, which made the Japanese army helpless.
