On the morning of the 27th, just as the Yamashita Brigade was hastily retreating from the Tianzhen front line to Zhangjiakou, the Jining Garrison Brigade and the Independent Seventh Division stationed in Zhangjiakou suddenly received an urgent telegram from the military headquarters, ordering the Seventh Independent Division and the Jining Garrison Brigade to immediately carry out a strategic encirclement of the Japanese army's Yamashita Fengwen Division, and to completely annihilate this enemy army. Cooperate with Yamashita to attack all the puppet troops in Tianzhen, regardless of nationality or official position, all of them will be killed or forced to work.

Chen Feng has never forgotten the matter of the Fengwen Department under the mountain driving the people to attack the city, and he has taken revenge on Xu Jiangang and the 576 innocent dead people in his heart, and he must implement it.

After receiving the telegram from the military headquarters, Xu Hu immediately ordered the troops to divide into two routes, one route from Wei County to Xuanhua, and the other way out of Tianzhen to Huai'an. At the same time, the Jining Garrison Brigade stationed in Zhangjiakou also sent elite troops from Zhangjiakou and went all the way south to the Fengwen Department at the foot of the mountain.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the 27th, the Jining Garrison Brigade was the first to exchange fire with the headquarters of the mountain, and the place where the two sides fought was the Qingshui River, the only place leading to Zhangjiakou. The two sides fought fiercely across the Qingshui River, and the Yamashita headquarters even used chariot troops to charge for a time, but unfortunately they were repelled by the anti-aircraft machine guns of the Jining Garrison Brigade.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the cavalry regiment of the 7th Independent Division arrived at Huai'an, the logistics base of the Fengwen Department under the mountain, and launched an attack on it, and then the 401st Infantry Regiment of the 7th Independent Division also rushed to the battlefield to participate in the battle. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the city of Huai'an was breached, and a half infantry brigade and a puppet infantry regiment defending the city were completely annihilated.

After receiving the news that Huai'an was captured by Chinese troops. Yamashita Fengwen was shocked, and immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from the battle, and then broke through in the direction of Xuanhua, so that the Yamashita headquarters of more than 17,600 people was now only more than 9,300 people left.

At eight o'clock in the evening of the 27th, the vanguard of the Yamashita Brigade was ambushed by the Seventh Independent Division in Shalingzi, northwest of Xuanhua, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.

At nine o'clock, the main force of the Seventh Independent Division and the Jining Garrison Brigade rushed to Shalingzi. After an hour of fighting. Annihilated the more than 4,000 puppet troops left behind after the break, but unfortunately, Yamashita Fengwen had fled far away at this time.

When the news came, the entire command of the former enemy rejoiced. At the same time, the first batch of more than 1,200 tons of supplies has arrived in Zhangjiakou by rail. Another batch of 4,600 tons of supplies is still on the highway to Zhangjiakou.

Because there are so many materials seized. Chen Feng used the secret radio station of the military headquarters to send a telegram to Hua Dajia. Let him secretly contact the CCP side, and ask the person in charge of the CCP in Tianjin to immediately go to the gendarmerie headquarters to find him, that is, the First Army has a batch of materials to be handed over to the CCP through the Tianjin underground party.

During the day, Chen Feng took a look at several important places in Tianjin. I found that the type and quantity of materials seized this time were indeed beyond my expectations, from weapons and equipment to daily necessities to medical supplies. Relying on the current transportation capacity of the 61st Army alone, let alone a week, even if it is given a month, it may not be able to rush to the end of the shipment, after all, in addition to these ready-made materials, Chen Feng also covets the equipment and raw materials in those factories, if these things are all counted, I am afraid that it has far exceeded Chen Feng's estimate of 200,000 tons.

There are so many supplies that if you can't take them away, you have to burn them, but it's really a pity to burn them. So Chen Feng thought of it. Communist, although this is an enemy-occupied area, Chen Feng knows the Tao well. The ability of the communist underground party. If it is said that it only refers to the military strength, the Eighth Route Army plus the New Fourth Army and multiplied by 2, it is not necessarily the opponent of the current 61st Army. However, if you want to talk about its status and appeal in the minds of the people, the 61st Army can't catch up with the middle. Common.

Anyway, some supplies will definitely not be able to be transported, so it is better to be a favor than to burn them or leave them to the Japanese. And Chen Feng also thought about it, in addition to the . The communist side must give, and the national government cannot be left behind. Anyway, when the navy receives the three large warships, it will definitely drive away those large freighters, and when he leaves, Chen Feng will load all the things that cannot be taken away on those large freighters, and whether they can reach the hands of the Nationalist Government in the end depends on the navy of the Nationalist Government itself.

The Yamashita Brigade was almost completely annihilated, which once again shocked the North China Front Headquarters. Originally, they thought that the main force of the 61st Army had been concentrated in the Pingjin area, and it would be good to have at most a thousand people left behind in Zhangjiakou. But now it seems that they have greatly underestimated the strength of the 61st Army.

According to the information sent back by the Yamashita Brigade, the Shina men and soldiers were divided into three routes, and more than 20,000 people were dispatched at one time, and there were also formed artillery units, which completed the encirclement and annihilation of the Yamashita Brigade in one day. If it weren't for Yamashita Fengwen's decisive breakthrough, I am afraid that another infantry brigade would have disappeared from the establishment of the empire.

Terauchi Shouichi and others made a little calculation and found that the number of Chinese troops in the area from Zhangjiakou to Beiping and Tianjin exceeded 70,000 people, or even more, and the army in Jining China was still capable of inflicting heavy losses on Kuroda Shigetoku's 26th Brigade, and the defenders in Datong China could still withstand the strong attack of the two elite brigades of the Imperial Japanese Army. At this point, General Terauchi Shouichi and others came to a frightening conclusion that the total strength of the 61st Army of China was at least 100,000, and even exceeded 100,000, reaching a terrifying number.

How long has it been, according to the information collected by the special high-tech, that Chen Feng was just an ordinary person before March of the twelfth year of the Showa era, and he was not even qualified to enter the attention of the special high-tech, but in less than a year, this mole ant has grown so strong that it is enough to strategically threaten the holy war of the Great Japanese Empire.

The entire North China Front Army is now only 180,000 men, and it is so scattered that it is no longer able to deal with the relatively concentrated 61st Army. After learning that the Yamashita Brigade had suffered heavy losses, General Terauchi Shouichi decisively ordered the 30th Brigade to immediately withdraw from the battle and move in the direction of Gu'an, waiting for the arrival of the 5th and 10th Divisions.

In addition, the matter has come to this point, and Terauchi Shouichi knew that he could not hide it, so he made a detailed written report to the base camp on the afternoon of the 27th, and asked for seppuku to thank His Majesty the Emperor.

When the news came, the government and the opposition were shaken, and Emperor Hirohito urgently convened an imperial meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The atmosphere had never been so depressing, even when deciding whether or not to wage an all-out war with China, because at that time almost everyone was confident in the war, and the cowardly people of China had no strength to compete with the Japanese Empire. In terms of political cohesion, economic strength, and military combat effectiveness, the gap between China and the Great Japanese Empire was even greater than before the First Sino-Japanese War.

The consequences of the beginning of the war were as expected before the war, the imperial army was victorious, and the three-dimensional offensive mode of sea, land and air completely crushed the defense line composed of the Chinese with their bodies, and Beiping, Tianjin, Zhangjiakou, Baoding, Dezhou, Jinan, Jining, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou all fell in just a few months, and the outcome of the war did not seem to have any suspense.

However, since the appearance of the hateful army in North China out of thin air, the local war empire seems to have begun to fall into a stalemate, although the overall situation of the empire is still in an absolute advantage, but the defeat of the local war has more and more affected the overall situation, this time it directly led to the destruction of a strategic force of the empire, and even the headquarters of the North China Front Army was surrounded by the Chinese army.

"Prime Minister Lu, have you discussed how to deal with the war in North China?" Emperor Hirohito asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the North China region is very complicated, in addition to the hateful China Sixty-first Army, the other China Central Army and Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army and the China Communists. The Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China also participated in the battle, and the 14th Division and the 108th Division were firmly pinned down on the Xinkou front, not only unable to return to Beiping, but also had the possibility of collapse on the whole front. In addition, the Chinese guerrillas near Wutai Mountain repeatedly harassed the Zhengtai Railway, so that the 20th Division stationed in Baoding and Shijiazhuang could not immediately go north. Yesterday, Lunan's 2nd Army and the 40th Army also participated in the battle, and the main forces of the 6th and 15th Divisions were pinned down in Shandong, and they could not get out in a short time, and now they can only hope for the 5th and 10th Divisions. War Minister Binshan Yuan replied in a deep voice.

Emperor Hirohito was very dissatisfied with Binshan Yuan's answer, during this time he had received a number of news from a number of lieutenant generals and senior officers with the rank of major general, if the city of Beiping was broken, then it is likely that the first army general in the empire to be killed would be born, this news is much more terrible than being wiped out of a field heavy artillery brigade, and Terauchi Shouichi's father, Marshal Terauchi Masatsuki, is also an old man in the army, and he is also a stubborn and short-term old guy, once Terauchi Shouichi dies in battle, Emperor Hirohito really didn't know what that old thing could do.

"Is this the decision you made at your home base?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it may be difficult to solve the crisis in Beiping by waiting for the Fifth and Tenth Divisions, because there are still a large number of Chinese troops between Zhangjiakou and Beiping, and they are fully capable of slowing down the march of the Fifth and Tenth Divisions. According to the estimation of the general Terauchi, if there are no reinforcements, Beiping Castle can support for 4 days at most, and itagaki Seishiro and others will not be able to rush to Beiping in 4 days, so if they want to solve the crisis in Beiping, they still need the help of the Kwantung Army. Bin Shan Yuan said loudly. (To be continued......)
