Chapter 214: The Vigorous Riot (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Tickets, Asking for Various !! ）

Terauchi Shouichi's strategic vision is really good, he knows very well that the current army stationed in Mongolia is already a turtle in the urn, and to the east is the cavalry group control area of the 40th Group Army, during this time Terauchi Shouichi also has some understanding of this huge cavalry, and he knows that with the strength of the remnants of the Fourth Division and other remnants, it is probably impossible to break through the defense line composed of the 101st Division, the 222nd Division, the main force of the 40th Group Army, and the cavalry group.

Not to the north, where is Outer Mongolia, the polar bear will not agree to such a huge force calmly return from Outer Mongolia to the Northeast or North China, a careless may cause contradictions between Japan and the Soviet Union. Moreover, Terauchi Shouichi knew very well that the Soviet Union had a lot of grievances about the defeat more than 30 years ago, and they all believed that the war was a disgrace to the great Slavic nation, and they wanted to get back to the field all the time, and once the Fourth Division appeared in Outer Mongolia, the Soviet Union might immediately enter Manchuria, and the consequences would be even more serious.

Once the Fourth Division enters the western region, it will be tantamount to becoming a lone army without backup, and with the strength that the 40th Group Army has always shown, it is bound to concentrate its forces to completely annihilate the Fourth Division.

The east, west, and north directions don't work, so now the only way is to go south. Although it seems that the road to the south is also very dangerous, and it will even be attacked by the Eighth Route of China and the 40th Army, the second war zone of China will not give up such a good opportunity.

However, the top level of the North China Front Army Headquarters believed that the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route of China was not enough to compete with the more than 30,000 imperial troops and the more than 20,000 imperial troops. As long as the speed is fast, the 40th Group Army will not have a chance to besiege the 4th Division with the Tubalu at all. Moreover, the Chasuqi front line is not very far from the Xinkou front line, as long as all aspects are well coordinated, the withdrawal of the Fourth Division to Jinzhong is very successful.

The most important thing is that the current battle situation on the Jinzhong front line is not favorable to the Imperial Japanese Army, and if the Fourth Division and the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade can be successfully withdrawn to Taiyuan, then the crisis in Taiyuan will be easily solved, and in this way, the crisis on the Suizhong side and the Taiyuan side will be solved, killing two birds with one stone.

In order to cooperate with the southward withdrawal of the 4th Division, it began on July 13. The Japanese army in North China concentrated all its aviation units and went to Suizhong to reinforce the 4th Division. Due to its lack of combat experience, the 1st Armored Regiment of the 40th Group Army was bombed by Japanese bombers at Erdaowanzi, destroying 68 combat vehicles and suffering 354 casualties. The vast majority of them died in battle. The armored brigade that Chen Feng had managed to put together suddenly became a reinforced regiment. It made Chen Feng feel distressed for a long time.

With the reinforcement of aviation, the Japanese army retreated smoothly, breaking through the resistance of the 120th Division in just two days. Entering the territory of the Qingshui River, Qingshuihe County is the southernmost county in Suiyuan, as long as you cross the Qingshui River, you can enter Shanxi. Seeing that the North China Front did not hesitate to send more than 500 fighters to reinforce it, Chen Feng knew that the plan to completely annihilate the Fourth Division and the 15th Brigade and Regiment was about to come to naught.

However, Chen Feng was not discouraged, although he was not able to completely annihilate the Fourth Division, but in the battle of more than half a month, the Fourth Division had already suffered heavy losses. And now there is a small 10,000-day puppet army in Suibei, and it is not a small result to annihilate this little devil. Coupled with the continuous bombing of Japanese planes, the casualties of the troops were really not small, so Chen Feng had to order the troops to stop the pursuit and occupy Baotou and other places first, and at the same time sent a guard brigade with strong mobility to cooperate with the 101st Division to go north to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the 26th Division.

At the same time, the battle on the Xuanhua front also entered a white-hot stage, although it was said that in Chen Feng's plan, the independent 7th Division was only a diversion force, not the main attack. However, because the Seventh Independent Division lost nearly 1,000 people in the plague caused by the Japanese conspiracy, the hatred of the Japanese Army from the division commander Xu Hu to the ordinary soldiers of the Independent Seventh Division reached a peak, and every time they fought until they were exhausted and could not move, so in terms of intensity, the battle on the Xuanhua front should be the most fierce one on these battlefields.

The division commander Yamashita Fumimi will sweep through Malaysia in the near future and win the name of the brother of the Malay Tiger, and the tactical command level of this person is extremely high, even beyond Terauchi Shouichi. The two sides fought for more than half a month, and neither could help the other.

However, due to the strong performance of the independent 7th Division, the Japanese army had to transfer the 14th Division to Beiping, just in case.

In view of the fact that the battle in Suiyuan had come to an end, Chen Feng ordered the Independent Seventh Division to immediately withdraw its troops from Xiahuayuan, as long as the Japanese army did not continue to advance towards Xuanhua, the Independent Seventh Division would no longer need to pay attention to the Japanese army.

Just when the Suiyuan Battlefield and the Xuanhua Battlefield were about to come to an end, the battle in the eastern direction of Rehe and Hebei had just reached a peak. Liu Guodong's first brigade and the fourth column of the Eighth Route Army's rapid eastward advance caused panic and anxiety among the enemies and puppets in North China, and they urgently mobilized 5,000 militia groups from various counties in eastern Hebei to rush to the Great Wall line to intercept them.

On July 12, more than 300 members of the Jixian militia who had been transferred to Mashenqiao Town, Jixian County, after hearing the news that the enemy was going to disarm them, under the leadership of team captains Xia Deyuan and Zhao He, killed Wang Shusen, the chief of the police station, and declared an uprising. On the same day, Xu Zhi and Wang Weixin, the leaders of the underground party in Fengrun County, the Eighth Route Army, heard the rumors of uprisings everywhere and also revolted in Sihu Village, Fengrun County. On July 13, in the south of Beining Road, Li Runmin, Gao Peizhi, Zhao Yuqing, Zhang Heming, and Zhang Zhenyu of Luan County launched an uprising in Gangbei Village. Overnight, more than 300 backbone members of the secret development were gathered to form the Fifth Corps of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Li Runmin served as the chief captain, Gao Peizhi served as the political director, and Zhang Heming served as the deputy chief of staff and chief of staff, and there were three brigades. After the uprising, they carried out guerrilla attacks in all directions, operating between the three counties of Chang, Luan, and Le, propagating anti-Japanese ideas, confiscating civilian guns, and destroying the enemy's puppet regime. Everywhere the troops went, the masses rejoiced and asked to join the army, and some brought guns to join the army.

On July 18, Zhou Weixin, police chief of Bei'an Gezhuang on Beining Road, led more than 100 people to revolt, and merged with the Changli Rebel Army led by Yu Zhenzhong to form the Ninth Corps, and then combined with the rebel army in the Tieju Village and Shanglin area, which quickly grew to more than 1,200 people. A few days later, more than 300 puppet security guards in Luan County set out to attack the rebels. The Fifth Corps set up in the Yang Family Courtyard was completely defeated, and more than 200 people under Liu Tao, the captain of the brigade, were captured, and two light machine guns and more than 200 rifles were captured. The rebel army won the first battle, the army and the people were extremely excited, the enemy's puppet rule was shaken, and soon set off a boom in joining the army. The Fifth Corps quickly grew to more than 3,000 people.

At this time, the Fifth Corps went south to Ciyutuo, and Comrade Gao Xiao'an, who had revolted in Zengjiawan, led more than 1,000 people to join him, and was organized into the 13th Corps of the Anti-Japanese Federation. He went to Si Gezhuang to meet with Wu Shaozhou's rebel army, and formed the 14th Corps. After meeting with Gao Zhiyuan's Sixth Corps in Liangcheng, he conquered Leting County. At this time, Yan Dakai, Li Jufeng, Yang Zhenhua, Yue Zepu, Tian Zixiu, Zhang Qiyu and other comrades rebelled in Leting and Changli counties and more than 1,000 people were organized into the 10th Corps. After the uprising of the salt police along the Leting coast, the Tangjiahe stronghold was laid, and more than 3,000 people were expanded into the 39th Corps. Here, an independent brigade was set up in Li Yuxi in Luan County. After the uprising of fishermen Shi Zhanshan and Wang Jing'an of Leting, fishermen on the Bohai Sea, it also grew to more than 1,000 people, and was organized into the first and second independent brigades. In the southern part of Luan County, there is an independent corps established by Cao Zhifu. By the end of July, there were about 15,000 rebel troops organized by the Fifth Corps in the Nanchang, Luan, and Le areas.

At the same time, a large number of weapons and equipment arrived in eastern Hebei through secret channels, and with the cooperation of the underground party members of the Eighth Route Army, these weapons and equipment were quickly distributed. For a time, the entire eastern Hebei was full of gunfire, uprisings everywhere, and the Japanese puppet army, which was already overstretched, was in a panic.

In addition to the rebel army, the joint command continued to increase troops to eastern Hebei, Liu Guodong's three brigades and the six brigades of La Pingfu and Hu Haitao were all transferred to eastern Hebei in a short period of time, and two regiments of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army also drove into eastern Hebei.

On July 19, Liu Guodong's first brigade and one squadron and the Second Route Command of the Anti-Japanese Federation in the central region of eastern Hebei jointly led the Yankou Uprising, and more than 400 basic members of Xizhuang, Iron Works, Wangguanying, Xinji and other places were organized into the Fourth Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Then, the Fourth Brigade took advantage of the victory to conquer Xingcheng Town, and the police inspectors of the Santun Battalion announced an uprising to welcome the Anti-Japanese Union into the city. In this way, in the border areas of Qian'an, Zunhua, and Fengrun counties in the northern mountainous areas, an upsurge of joining the army was set off. The troops that revolted at Xifengkou, Saheqiao, and Santunying were organized into the 12th Corps, with Zhang Bingdong, the captain, Ye Tian, the deputy captain, and Cheng Tiejun, the political director. The troops in the Xinji, Yangzidian, and Xingcheng areas where Wei Chunbo, Han Dongzheng, and Zhou Zhiguo launched an uprising, and formed the 14th Corps, with Chen Hanmin as the captain, Han Dongzheng as the political director, and Cai Yongchang as the deputy captain. Soon, the Fourth Corps moved south from Zunhua to quell the rebellion of the militia groups in the area of Fengrun Wangguanying, and promoted the climax of the enlistment of the Anti-Japanese War. Many people brought their own guns to join the army, and landlords and high-class people also voluntarily donated guns. Pseudo-police and vigilante groups automatically came to surrender. Within a few days, the 4th Brigade had grown to 4,000 people.

On the night of July 20, in response to the uprising of the Kailuan miners, a brigade of the 40th Group Army of La Pingfu sent two squadrons of about 1,200 men to sabotage the Bac Ninh Railway, occupy the two stations of Wali and Guye, and cut off the more than 200-mile railway between Tangshan and Changli into several sections, causing the Bac Ninh Road to stop for half a month. Under the leadership of Zhou Wenbin, Hu Zhifa, and Jie Zhenguo, the miners of Zhao Gezhuang, Tang Zhuangzi, and Linxi revolted one after another, and because a large number of miners participated, the uprising force amounted to more than 8,000 people, and after the victory of the uprising, a large number of miners and ordinary people participated, and this force expanded to more than 20,000 people in just one week.
