It was still Shimizu Daisa's face at the front headquarters, and the Army Aviation Brigade finally sent a small single-seat reconnaissance plane.

Turning around a few dozen square kilometers around Taipingzhuang, reminding Qing Shui Dazuo on the ground, Xiangshang in the northeast, west, southwest and other parties found that there were brigades of eight roads moving between hills and mountains, and the direction of the march was basically to Taipingzhuang.

In addition, large groups of unidentified people were found on the south and southeast sides of Langjiazhuang, operating in the valleys and hills on both sides of the road from Tang County.

It's not good news, if several roads and eight roads are coming to Taipingzhuang, it must be that the eight roads want to concentrate their forces and want to eat the troops led by Qing Shui, and the eight roads in the direction of Tang County needless to say, they want to cut off the connection between Langjiazhuang and the county seat.

If he insists on going his own way, he is afraid that he will fall into a heavy siege, Qing Shui is very sober in his mind, if this is the army he brought out in the northeast, the Eighth Route is more, and he is not afraid. It's a pity that with such a group of second-line garrisons, the orders can't be conveyed, the soldiers don't give strength, and no matter how strong Qing Shui is, it's useless.

After a night of emergency repairs, the armored vehicles that were damaged by the explosion were repaired three by piecing together parts, and the rest could not be repaired, so they could only be dragged away by trucks.

In this way, Shimizu Daisa ordered the armored car to be cut off, and the covering brigade slowly retreated to the front line of Langjiazhuang.

He can't do it if he doesn't withdraw! Because when I came out to rescue yesterday, almost all the combat troops of the Langjiazhuang base were withdrawn, and the rest of the defenders of the base were all baggage soldiers and engineers, and there were less than 200 fighters in the whole base and a piece!

If the Eighth Road, which attacked the convoy from Tang County, had known that there were less than 200 combatants in Langjiazhuang, it was estimated that they would have come to attack Langjiazhuang a long time ago!

Captain Nomura, who was robbed of command by Shimizu, has a small heart. In addition to gloating over the news of the rescue team's repeated failures. He also frequently made small reports to the regimental headquarters of the 110th Division. He also used his own network to help him go to the division commander to blow the wind.

At this time, the 110th Division had just changed its division commander, and Lieutenant General Kuwaki Takamei was transferred back to Japan to plan the southward combat operations of the army base camp.

The newcomer, Lieutenant General Yoshitaro Hayashi, a native of Kyoto Prefecture and a samurai family, spent most of his time as a school director in a military academy until 1941. In the Army, it belongs to the academic school.

Cautious and conservative, he could see the style of a dull army officer when he was transferred to the Seventh Independent Mixed Brigade in early 1941 as the commander of the Brigade of Major Generals.

His combat style is, in a word, to fight only after full preparation, and never to retreat once he has made up his mind.

Therefore, the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade was always the slowest moving unit with the least casualty rate in all the battles in which they participated, but they also often served as the rearguard covering the retreat of the other troops at the end of the whole campaign, like a porcupine covered with thorns. Make your opponent speechless.

After being promoted to lieutenant general, he took over the position of commander of the 110th Division. It was precisely halfway through the campaign in North China, and the first thing Hayashi Yoshitaro did after taking office was to request the Front Army Headquarters and General Gangmura that the 110th Division must be withdrawn from the current combat area to replenish troops and recuperate.

His reasoning was simple: A unit that had been guarding the lines of communication for a long time was not suitable to participate in offensive and guerrilla-based raids without field training.

General Gangcun originally wanted to assign the role to the 110th Division in the second half of the sweep was to garrison the villages and towns in the newly occupied Eighth Route Base Area.

In his opinion, this is also the strength of the 110th Division, and there is no problem in guarding the highway stronghold, let alone guarding a village.

But Lieutenant General Lin Fang doesn't see it that way, guarding roads and railways is very different from being in the inner line of the Eighth Route Base Area! It's the same garrison, and from the point of view of tactical use, it's very different!

For this reason, the verbal battles of the two commanders went to the army headquarters of the empire, and it has to be said that this kind of written and verbal confrontation was still based on the long-term principal of Lieutenant General Lin Fang, and the Zuihou army base camp and the land minister gave a compromise suggestion, and the 110th Division and other divisions and regiments that participated in the North China operation each garrisoned the territory they occupied.

To put it bluntly, whoever fights down is in charge! This is actually equivalent to Lieutenant General Lin Fang's victory against the general of Tonggang Village.

Therefore, when the battle broke out on the line from Taipingzhuang to Taiyu, the 110th Division was busy withdrawing the 163rd and 139th Wings from the area north of the Dasha River, and all the occupied villages were transferred to the 36th Division, and the 110th Wing was also preparing to concentrate the scattered brigades in Tang County.

The defensive circle drawn by Lieutenant General Lin Fang for the 110th Division is from Baoding to Shijiazhuang, the line from Xingtang to Tang County to the west, and the line from Dingxian to Shenze to the east.

Shimizu Dazuo's bad luck is here, the 110th Division has a new boss, and people are about to withdraw their troops, you ran upside down to command other people's soldiers to attack, aren't you uncomfortable!

Qing Shui did not know the small actions made by Captain Nomura and the secrets between the 110th Division and the headquarters of the North China Front, but the orders of his superiors had to be carried out, so after bringing the troops back to Langjiazhuang, he led more than 30 of his subordinates to follow the convoy back to Beiping via Tang County.

Three days later, the devils in Langjiazhuang also burned the base, and all of them retreated to Tang County to rest.

The Japanese army's large-scale operation in North China, which lasted more than two months, came to an end for the time being, and the devils who broke through to the base area of the Eighth Route Army in northwest Hebei retreated to the starting point of the campaign one after another, and the actual line of control between the enemy and us basically returned to the pre-war situation, and the intermission arrived.

Although the devils withdrew, the base area in the northwest of Hebei also suffered the heaviest losses in the past four years of the Anti-Japanese War, and the new tricks used by the old devils in Gangcun did not eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but the damage to the entire base area was still not small.

According to the statistics reported by the Japanese army itself, the sweeping operations that began in August and ended in early October had fought more than 2,000 battles with the Eighth Route Army, killing and wounding more than 10,000 people of the Eighth Route Army, capturing more than 900 people, capturing more than 50,000 people in the base areas, and collecting more than 1 million catties of grain.

The figures announced by the Eighth Route Army were similar to those of the Japanese army, with nearly 10,000 combat and non-combat attrition, and more than 10,000 Japanese puppet troops annihilated, including about 5,000 Japanese troops.

A total of more than 200,000 villagers in the base area have been displaced, hundreds of villages have been destroyed, more than 20,000 young and middle-aged people have been arrested, and the total population has been lost nearly 100,000.

The devil has temporarily stopped military operations, but it doesn't mean that he will never come in the future, so many people have to fight, they have to eat, and the life in the base area has to be maintained! Therefore, in early October, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region set the most important task at this stage as ensuring the autumn harvest and helping the villagers to restore their homes and production and life.

After the devils in Taipingzhuang withdrew, Yang Bangzi and Liu Da Ass led the troops to stay on the periphery of the first line of Langjiazhuang for three days, and it was not until the devils here also retreated south that the two broke up.

The area demarcated by the division is also the defense area of the old third regiment, Yang Bangzi saw that he had nothing to do, and prepared to go back to Chuankou Town.

When they were about to break up, they left most of the guns and materials seized this time to Liu Da's ass, and also added a company to the old third regiment from the people he brought.

The three of them were together for one night, and they had a drink, and Yang Bangzi on the wine table took advantage of the strength of the wine, and gave Liu's big ass with his fingers one by one, and gave a solid lesson.

For example, Yang Bangzi said that if he fights Taipingzhuang, it is right for Liu Da Ass to hit the high ground on both sides first, and after taking the mountain, he can't put so many troops into the village at once, he should detour back to the periphery of the village from both sides of the high ground, and launch an attack together with the front.

In this way, the devils in Zhuangzi don't care about their heads and tails, and after they find that they are surrounded, they will definitely find an opportunity to withdraw and put them in the wild to fight is not better than fighting in Zhuangzi?

There are also some experiences in street fighting, all of which are said to be given to Liu's big ass, Captain Liu listened to the old leader's reprimand with a red face, and this is really convinced, this kind of work is not brute force to fight haode, pay too much attention!

What's more, Yang Stick is generous and generous, and it is for guns and ammunition, and it is for supplementing soldiers, everyone's morale is there, this is what it looks like to be a general, and Liu Da's ass is still far from the realm of being alone! (To be continued......)
