Seeing the glorious victory of the German government, the Japanese Army could not sit still, and soon the Japanese Army demanded that the government immediately form an alliance with Germany and Italy to compete with Britain and the United States for the Pacific Ocean, and Nagano Shusei was one of them.

There are many others who think the same way as Nagano Shusei, including Emperor Hirohito of Japan. Although the war of aggression against China did not bring much wealth and benefits to the Japanese government, on the contrary, it led to a considerable decline in Japan's national strength, but it was a gluttonous feast for the Japanese imperial family.

In just a few years, the Japanese government plundered a large amount of gold, silver, calligraphy and paintings, the total value of which far exceeded the Japanese government's war consumption, but all this money flowed into the Japanese imperial family, and ordinary people did not know about it.

Southeast Asia is known for its abundance of gold and precious stones, so all the Japanese imperial family, including Emperor Hirohito, supported the war. It's just that Emperor Hirohito's castle is relatively deep, and he is worried that the Japanese imperial family will be sick by the world in the future, so it has been hidden behind the scenes, and all matters are handled by the prime minister and the minister of war.

However, after two years of confrontation, Hirohito had a lot of doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield, especially the Battle of Nomenkan and the Battle of North China a few months ago had the deepest impact on Emperor Hirohito, so he instructed the General Staff Headquarters to propose the formation of this inspection team, and at the same time appointed his chief of guard as the head of the inspection team.

The mission of the inspection team was to conduct a thorough survey of all the Japanese troops on the battlefield, and at the same time to conduct a thorough investigation of the strength of the Chinese anti-Japanese forces, and also to deal with some confidential matters for Hirohito.

Nagano self-cultivation is a relatively strong and more real person, from Nagano self-cultivation can be seen from his own resume that his life is very smooth, it is precisely because of this smoothness that Nagano self-cultivation character is extremely conceited, he himself is very dissatisfied with the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield now, in his understanding, China is a country without defense, its army is just a group of farmers with primitive weapons, combat effectiveness is as loose as sand, and it is not vulnerable at all.

And the Imperial Japanese Army is an elite army that has undergone rigorous training, even compared with the German Army, which has the most rigorous combat effectiveness in the world, the Imperial Japanese Army is not inferior at all, how can it be repeatedly defeated by the Chinese people, or even hit hard.

This time he wants to see whether the Chinese are no longer cowardly or the Imperial Japanese Army itself has fallen, and he wants to use his eyes and actions to provide a real data to those bigwigs in the country to see if the Imperial Japanese Army can shoulder more important tasks.

In view of the strength of Ma Zheng's subordinates and the fact that they affect the whole body, Nagano Xiushen decided to slightly modify the Spring Rain plan on the basis of Okamura Ningji's Spring Rain Plan, and then organize a small-scale assault battle in a small area on the premise of not affecting Okamura Ningji's Spring Rain Battle Plan.

Due to the fear of Ma Zheng's subordinates, Nagano Xiushen aimed at Hebei, and he prepared to carry out a surprise attack on the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei.

On 18 March, Nagano Shushen arrived in Hengshui by car, and on the same day he personally transferred an ordinary infantry wing and an artillery brigade from the troops directly under the North China Front, and another cavalry wing and a combat convoy to form a mixed brigade, with Major General Nemoto as the brigade commander and the commander-in-chief of the operation.

According to Nagano's plan, this time he will use the mixed brigade of Gen Bo as the main force, and then with two puppet infantry divisions, to launch a small-scale sweep in the southern Hebei region, and strive to eliminate the Jinpu detachment of the Eighth Route Army entrenched in Lunan within two weeks.

The Japanese army has a certain understanding of the situation of the Qingpu detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and knows that the predecessor of this unit is composed of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which created the "surprise attack on Yangming Fort", and the current number is the Jinpu Detachment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. On February 9, 1938, it was formally established in Nangong County, Hebei Province, and this unit was led by famous generals such as Sun Jixian and Wang Jiwen, and moved to fight in Hebei and Lubian, Taixi, Binhai, central and southern Shandong, the Central Plains, and East China, causing a lot of blows and troubles to the Japanese army!

The reason why Nagano Xiushen wanted to take the Jinpu detachment was completely because of the combat effectiveness of the Jinpu detachment. Obviously, the situation of the Japanese army at this time is really not suitable to besiege Ma Zheng's department or the main force of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise it may evolve into a decisive battle like before.

The Jinpu detachment is different, this is a unit with fine traditions and glorious achievements, but the total strength is not much. Therefore, Nagano Shusei believed that only a duel with such a regular army could prove that the Imperial Japanese Army was indeed stronger than the Shina army, so that his report would be more convincing and golden, and at the same time would not provoke the Shina army.

The Japanese army's operation was strictly secrecy, so it did not attract the attention of Ma Zheng, let alone the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, even if the Eighth Route Army knew that the Japanese were going to carry out a large-scale sweep of the base areas in southern Hebei, they would not be too surprised, after all, since 38 years, the Japanese army has been sweeping all the base areas in southern Hebei too frequently, it is simply like a cow's hair, and they have long been accustomed to it.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army in the past was not high in combat effectiveness due to the lack of weapons and equipment, and even the Japanese army ordered the military and civilians in the base area to be completely transferred due to a sweep at the level of a brigade.

However, after the development of the army in the past few years, the Eighth Route Army is still very confident in its own strength, and they do not pay attention to the sweeps of ordinary scale at all, and in the past few years, there have been no less than 20 sweeps at the division and regimental level, and they still have a lot of experience in dealing with the sweeps of the Japanese army.

In order to achieve the strategic intention of defeating the Jinpu detachment of the Eighth Route Army by surprise and in one fell swoop, the sweep of Yongye Xiu did not put on a posture and fight with the Eighth Route Army, but first sorted out a large amount of intelligence collected by the North China Front Headquarters on the Eighth Route Army in the southern Hebei region, and then sent a large number of intelligence groups to the southern Hebei region to conduct on-the-spot investigations, and finally formulated a detailed combat plan.

According to top-secret information obtained by the intelligence department, although there are more than 20,000 people on the Eighth Road in the southern Hebei region, there are even more. However, there are not many real regular troops, only the two main regiments of the Jinpu detachment, and the rest are some miscellaneous cards subordinate to the Southern Hebei Administrative Office, and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

Nagano Xiushen and others agreed that as long as the Jinpu detachment stationed near Nangong County was eliminated, the Tuba Road in southern Hebei would be equivalent to a broken arm, and no matter how bad it was, they would also go underground and operate, and it would be impossible for them to come out and act as blatantly as before, so their strategic intentions would be achieved.

However, it was not easy to eliminate the Jinpu detachment in one fell swoop, and the biggest problem was that the Eighth Route Army was fundamentally different from the Japanese army, and his garrison was too scattered. After investigation, the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei controlled almost 70 percent of the rural areas, and almost a little larger villages had Tu Eighth Route garrisons, and these garrisons could usually only station one battalion, or even a company or a platoon, and even only one squad in smaller villages.

It is almost impossible to wipe out such a scattered force in a short period of time, the main thing is that there are too many Dohachi Road eyeliners, and the people of Shina will get the news if the Imperial Japanese Army makes a slight move, so it is necessary to plan carefully.

On March 20, 1940, this mixed brigade of the Japanese army, with the assistance of the second and fourth brigades of Qi Xieyuan's puppet North China Public Security Army, launched a full-scale attack on the Jinpu detachment of the Eighth Route Army scattered in Nangong, Hengshui and other places. By the time they reacted, the regimental headquarters and the first battalion of the Jinpu detachment had already been made dumplings by the Japanese army.

At the same time, the regimental headquarters of the 2nd Regiment and the headquarters of the detachment were also besieged by the Japanese army, but fortunately, they were discovered early, and after some hard fighting, they broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army, and the main force of the 2nd Regiment and the headquarters of the detachment finally broke out. However, the casualties of the troops were not small, which made the 129th Division and the Jinpu detachment extremely depressed. (To be continued.) )
