Tada, Akira Muto, Mamoru Iinuma, Masaharu Honma...... A general, two lieutenant generals, and a major general, after being imprisoned in the scum hole, began a years-long "journey to hell". The executioners of the military command here have to think of a new way to toss them every few days, which can always make them feel extremely "happy", but they will not suffer too much damage. So much so that after the "Tokyo Trial" began, these people began to confess their crimes as soon as they went to court, and they didn't even need a defense lawyer......

And when Tada Jun and others were being tortured for their crimes in the Dregs Cave, the three divisions and nearly 80 regiments of the Eighth Route Army also fought fiercely with the Japanese army in the area of Taihang Mountain.

Due to the sudden loss of their commander, and the fact that they were faced with Liu Bocheng, He Long, Nie Rongzhen, and others, who were good at mountain guerrilla warfare and were good at using troops, the Japanese 27th Division and the 110th Division suffered heavy losses, and it was not easy for them to get out of the battle circle under the leadership of the new commander. And by this time, the losses of both divisions had already exceeded half. However, the situation of the Eighth Route Army at this time was not very good. Although they won the battle with the help of various favorable factors, their forces were overconcentrated, and because of the loss of Tada Jun and others, the Japanese army behaved extremely crazy. Yukio Kasahara, chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front, disregarded the local turmoil and once again dispatched troops to attack the Eighth Route Army, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Eighth Route Army. Not only that, Tang Enbo's 31st Army also began to be launched, and two huge pincers were formed in tacit agreement with the Japanese army, pressing forward step by step against the Eighth Route Army.

The situation of the Eighth Route Army seems to be extremely unfavorable.

However, at this time, the Japanese army in Shanxi, which had been locked to the west of Taihang Mountain and could not support the battle of Taihang Mountain and Zhengtai Road and Hebei, suddenly opened up Jingcheng, one of the passages of Taihang Mountain. Jingcheng is the key point connecting Shanxi, Hebei and Shandong provinces, and its military status is very important. And the most important thing is that after the Japanese army in Shanxi rushed out of Jingcheng, it was very close to Shijiazhuang. It is possible to maneuver quickly with the help of the railway in Shijiazhuang. Carry out military strikes on various places, and at the same time quickly reinforce all parts of North China, where the army is empty. It is important to know that in order to support Yoshio Shinozuka, there were 100,000 Japanese troops brought into Shanxi by Tada Jun. And the Japanese troops he brought out of Shanxi from Zhongtiao Mountain were only about 20,000 people, and even if they added the 110th Division of Iinuma Shou, which later protruded from Shanxi, it was still less than half of the troops brought into Shanxi at the beginning. Now, the battle situation in Shanxi is basically stable, and the most restless southern Hu Zong has just suffered the loss of a few divisions, and he does not dare to act rashly, so these troops are vacant. So. Leaving part of the troops to guard the important passages, the Japanese army in North China began to regroup east of Taihang Mountain under the command of Yukio Kasahara!

Faced with such a situation, the Eighth Route Army chose to retreat. Retreat towards Shanxi along the passages of Fukou, Baicheng, and Taihang in the south of Jingcheng. Chiang Kai-shek was in a hurry and sent telegrams one after another. The main force of the Eighth Route Army was strictly ordered not to enter Shanxi. However, these telegrams finally received such a reply from Zhu De: The staff had fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Taihang Mountain, and had now withdrawn to Kulun to rest. Temporarily unable to command the troops in North China...... Today, our army has encountered a large number of enemy troops. The command system is out of order, the situation is extremely dangerous, and I and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China are now unable to go to command the operation, so I can only hope that the chairman of the committee can give strong support.

Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and there was no way to take Zhu De and others, who were far away in Kulun. can only send a report directly to Liu Bocheng, Nie Rongzhen, He Long and others, asking the three to hold their positions and not retreat, "When fighting with the Japanese army." To show my Chinese military might! "As a result, a short time later, the call back came. Liu Bocheng's department replied: The 129th Division has suffered heavy losses after repeated battles, and now there is not one out of ten troops, and the ammunition has been exhausted, so it is really impossible to fight again, and I hope the chairman of the committee will forgive me! Of course, we are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey orders, so if you really ask us to fight the Japanese army to the death, I hope that we can be given some supplies, not too much, 8,000 rifles, 1 million bullets, and a number of mortars and mountain artillery...... Wait a minute. To put it bluntly, if you give benefits, you will fight, and if you don't give benefits, buddies will withdraw. As for Nie Rongzhen of the 115th Division, the call back is not too much, anyway, it is just two words: don't fight! Compared with Liu Bocheng and Nie Rongzhen, these two relatively ordinary callbacks, He Long, who is known as "He Huzi", is much more strange: Hello Chairman Jiang, we are the communications section of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, we lost contact with the division headquarters on the way to retreat, and now we have encountered a small squad of the Japanese army, and we have been fighting fiercely for more than half an hour, all the members of our communications department have been killed, and I will follow, I hope the chairman can tell us the division commander that we have not embarrassed his old man and have not been taken prisoner. Not to mention that they will only beat their own people like those traitors and traitors, Xie Lu Xie...... The 120th Division's communications section reporter "Cao Yidan" is unique!

In other words, He Long not only ignored Lao Jiang's telegram, but also scolded Lao Jiang by the way, and even scolded him with homophony, "C you are an egg", but Lao Jiang still had nothing to say.

Under such circumstances, the Eighth Route Army of three divisions, with the cooperation of the units left behind in Shanxi, broke through the interception of the Japanese puppet army and smoothly entered Shanxi, getting rid of the almost tacit understanding between the Japanese army and Tang Enbo. Not only that, because of the decisive retreat of the Eighth Route Army, Tang Enbo had to face the main force of the Japanese army with a desire for revenge, although Tang Enbo felt that it was unlikely that the Japanese would come to attack him directly, but he still had to order all units to withdraw to their original positions. In this way, the "Battle of the Hundred Regiments" initiated by the Eighth Route Army came to an end. In this battle, the Eighth Route Army wiped out more than 30,000 Japanese troops and nearly 70,000 puppet troops, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army in North China and greatly improved the political status and image of the Communist Party of China.

However, after this battle, both the Japanese army and the national army increased their vigilance against the Eighth Route Army. Yan Xishan, who was hiding in Linfen, even sent troops to intercept the Eighth Route Army when it returned to Shanxi, trying to prevent the Eighth Route Army from entering Shanxi. Although the Eighth Route Army finally broke through the obstruction and quickly dispersed its forces after entering Shanxi, regrouping the main forces into the base areas, they also ushered in a new anti-communist upsurge, and the anti-Japanese base areas also ushered in the blockade of the Nationalist army and the Japanese army, as well as round after round of sweeps by the Japanese army.

"What kind of bomb is this?"

Liuzhou, Guangxi.

Eisenhower frowned twice as he looked at the huge bombs that had been dropped from the plane.

"Napalm." Wang Shuming, who was in charge of transporting this batch of bombs, couldn't help but smile after seeing Eisenhower's serious eyes, "Colonel, you should have heard of the fame of this kind of bomb." ”

"I've certainly heard of it," and I've heard not only of it, but I'm afraid that the soldiers of all countries in the world have heard of it. Eisenhower stared at the bomb for a few more moments. But he shook his head: "This is not napalm!" ”

"Isn't it?" Wang Shuming glanced at the bomb next to him again, "Colonel, are you mistaken?" This is napalm, which I personally transported from the Chongqing military factory, and there will be no mistake. ”

"General, based on our analysis of the results of several operations in which you used napalm, napalm should not be that big." Eisenhower's side, Ridgway, who had just returned from an inspection of the Airborne Forces, stretched out his arm slightly and made a gesture of hugging the bomb in front of him. The long arms are only half the size of the bomb's "waistline": "This bomb weighs at least a ton or more!" ”

"This could be the latest super napalm." Wang Shuming replied.

"Such a huge napalm does not correspond to the way your army fights...... If the airdrop is not accurate, it is equivalent to a waste. I know that you own two oil fields in Indonesia and you get an annual share, but even then, it's not a waste. Li Qi smiled.

"This is a weapon against the Japanese warships. A warship is so big, of course, you have to use big bombs. Wang Shuming said.

"No, no, no. If you want to deal with warships. Airborne torpedoes are the most suitable. With napalm will only burn their decks. Li Qiwei said.

"Our napalm is so powerful and adhesive that once it hits a target, it can even burn steel." Wang Shuming was very dissatisfied with Li Qiwei's statement. Since its inception, napalm has been one of the most powerful killer weapons of the Chinese Air Force, and the enemy is seen rolling and wailing in the air every time. They feel refreshed. Although Wang Shuming is not a pilot, he can still feel the love of those pilots for this kind of bomb...... Moreover, napalm is a weapon that can burn even tanks to scrap metal, which can be said to be the nemesis of armored forces, and the Soviets have always begged for formulas. I heard that foreign countries are also trying to study it, but they have never been able to do it. This naturally strengthens their sense of pride. But Li Qiwei actually said that this kind of bomb can only burn the deck, of course he was not happy.

"It is true that the surface facilities of the warship can be destroyed, but if it is just like this, the Japanese will not have to work too hard to repair it." Eisenhower also said disapprovingly.

"Moreover, the use of chemical weapons is a violation of international conventions, especially such a huge gas bomb!" Li Qiwei suddenly straightened his face.

……

"Look, even the Americans think you're trying to use poison gas. Who do you think you can hide? ”

Bai Zhenxi has been having a very uncomfortable time lately. was first fooled by Gu Changjun after decades, and then hit hard by Qin Wei, and after learning that Tada Jun and others were captured by the people sent by Qin Wei at the moment of "victory", his heart seemed to be shattered in an instant...... If it was so easy to fight a war, if it was so easy to catch the enemy's commander, what had he been doing for decades? Anyway, his psyche was in a state of great imbalance. Especially when he learned that Qin Wei actually boasted about Haikou to Chen Shaokuan and his gang, saying that he would capture an entire fleet for the navy, he was even more unhappy...... You can catch Tada Jun and smoke cold, see if someone is negligent, and catch it in a net, but now this is a warship! Thinking about it, he really couldn't think of any good way for Qin Wei, and the most reluctant, like everyone else, decided that Qin Wei would use poison gas. And the statements of Eisenhower and Ridgway also made him more determined to this point.

"I'm the one who knows the rules best, how can I use such a weapon that violates international conventions? Don't talk nonsense and frame Lao Tzu. Qin Wei didn't pay attention to Bai Zhenxi at all, and waved his hand to let him go.

"Without gassing, how do you capture an intact fleet? Do you think everyone else is stupid? Bai Zhenxi exclaimed.

"I said Lao Bai, where are you?" Qin Wei didn't do it, "What's the matter with me capturing a fleet that hinders you?" You wish I had failed, did you? ”

"If you can capture a fleet, of course, it would be good, but if you use too proper methods, those foreign devils will not be so easy to talk to. We still have to buy things from other people. Bai Zhengxi shouted without a good hand.

"Can't talk? They don't ask today, I'll ...... tomorrow."

"It's fighting, it's fighting." Qin Wei was about to refute with disdain on his face, but at this time, Xu Tingyao didn't know where the road came from, and rushed to the two of them with the telegram in his hand: "Brother Timoxine has moved, and Siberia has finally started a war!"
