There was nothing to do all night, and sure enough, the tactics of shrinking the troops and deploying them in the town were still very appropriate, and the eight roads did not come to attack again this night, but as soon as it was dark, the wind increased the wind whirringly, and the trees shook and shook, and many stone slabs on the roof used as cover plates were blown down.

At dawn, seeing that the wind was not yet light, the baggage and the adjutant in charge of the quartermaster came to find Qing Shui, and the military rations in reserve were not much, and they had to be eaten and drunk at the normal consumption rate in two days!

However, the staff headquarters in Beiping still told Shimizu Dazuo that the brigade headquarters of the Army Aviation Brigade stationed at Zhengding Airport still called back that the plane had not been overhauled, and that the current weather could not force the plane to take off, and the air flow in the mountainous area was too complicated, and the altitude needed to be lowered during the airdrop.

And who could have predicted how many days the wind would have to blow? Qing Shui was so worried that he had to order the soldiers' rations to be distributed according to two-thirds of the supply, so that they could last two more days, and at the same time he asked the engineering unit to send some people, take tools and go to the town, knocking on the ground and walls from house to house to see if he could find the food hidden by the common people.

Not to mention that it was really searched, what millet seeds, corn particles, sorghum, potatoes, together it really turned out a few hundred catties, and there is really no more, just these hundreds of catties are still the villagers who walk the horse post, there are so many families who are lazy and do not send them to the mountains to stay, for more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, a few hundred catties of grain and porridge are not enough!

Qing Shui hadn't gotten any information from the General Staff Headquarters about what the battle plan was centered on his special operations wing, and he didn't know that General Gangmura's plan was really a bit trendy!

Since the old devil of Gangcun took office. I have been fighting with the Eighth Road for more than two years. Won a lot. But he did not achieve his ultimate goal, he found that the Eighth Route Army in the mountainous area could not be cleared, and even in the central Hebei region, which thought that the Eighth Route had been completely eradicated, from the summer of 43, there were many so-called martial arts teams of the Eighth Route in their activities.

He found that in the past, the sweeps in the mountainous areas were basically spring, summer, and autumn, and when the winter was difficult in the mountains, the Japanese troops basically withdrew to the occupied areas before the snow fell. Then rest and wait for the spring of the next year to sweep in the mountains, and so on and on, year after year, the devils came and went, and the eight roads withdrew and came back, and the mountains were always in the hands of the eight roads.

Therefore, this time, before the arrival of winter, Shimizu Dazuo suddenly entered the center of the entire northwestern Hebei base area of the Eighth Road, and Okamura Ningji had a very trendy idea, he wanted to let a strong combat force like Shimizu stay in the area of the Horse Station for the winter, which was like putting a bayonet on the henchmen of the Eighth Road. So that the Eighth Road, which rests and trains in winter every year, cannot rest and expand its army as scheduled, and has to fight with the Japanese army in winter. This will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the Eight Roads.

In addition, from a strategic point of view, if the Qingshui Wing here can hold out until the spring of the next year, it means that it will successfully cut off a large piece of territory from the hands of the Eighth Road, then the thin and easily attacked communication line from Lingqiu to Laiyuan to Yi County will evolve into an actual control area about 100 miles wide from north to south, which is the widest control area from Shanxi to Hebei, and it will be too beneficial for the coordinated operation between the First Army of Shanxi and the troops directly under the Hebei Front Army!

Once this control area is taken, it will be equivalent to dividing the mountainous base area of the Eighth Road from Pingbei to southwest Hebei for thousands of miles, and when the time comes, the Eighth Road from Fuping to Matian and other places will be able to be pressed from north to south.

Now the old devil in Gangcun is thinking about how to make Qingshui's team persist through the entire long winter? A lone army is in the hinterland of the base area of the Eighth Road, with no food and grass and no rescuers, can more than 2,000 people survive until the spring of next year?

The General Staff Headquarters studied this idea on its own, believing that judging from the firepower and combat effectiveness of the Qingshui Wing, the Eighth Route that may exist around him at present does not have the strength to eat him, and according to intelligence, the strongest subdivision in northwest Hebei of the Eighth Route is currently suffering at least one-third of its personnel, and it is also a period of food shortage in winter, so it is unlikely that it will be able to mobilize him on a large scale.

The 11th Division, which was directly engaged with the Shimizu Wing, had just fought with the Kuroda Wing for more than ten days, and it was reported that more than half of the troops had been lost, and there might be only a thousand combatants, let alone the strength of the Shimizu Wing.

What's more, the General Staff Headquarters believes that food, grass and ammunition can be supplied by aircraft, and even personnel can be transported by aircraft, if personnel need to be transported, then it is necessary to build a front-line airstrip in the area controlled by the Qingshui Wing, if the airport cannot be repaired, then at most some officers or something, don't think about a large number of soldiers, the army in North China has no paratroopers!

The little devil has always paid little attention to airborne operations, but he still saw that the German army repeatedly used airborne troops to achieve unexpected results, so he began to form and train paratroopers, and the already small number of paratroopers were also sent to the Pacific and Southeast Asia, and there were no paratroopers on the Chinese battlefield, and this thing was not called a paratrooper with an umbrella bag on his back!

It is too late for training now, so we can only consider letting the ground troops get as close to the Qingshui Wing as possible to see if they can make a fuss on the communication line. This is the battle plan that the chief of staff revealed to Shimizu around him.

Three days passed, and the strong wind, which blew for three days, finally stopped at noon on the third day, and the wind stopped, but the dark and heavy dark clouds pressed thickly from the north, and soon covered the entire sky, and the cold snap from the Mongolian Plateau also happily came to join in the fun!

Qing Shui is hairy this time, and his heart said that your headquarters has not yet discussed the plan, I am wind and snow, there is no food to eat, and the plane cannot be counted on, this foot is on my own leg, I can't wait for death here, I have to go!

As soon as the report said that he was leaving, Qing Shui was also reprimanded, which means that the soldiers of the empire, what are they afraid of after a few hungry meals, and if they are not in the army, they will guard a fortification, and they don't need to be full! The plan is about to be prepared, and no retreat is allowed at this time! As soon as the weather improves, the plane will arrive immediately!

Look, the little devil is so calculating, the rations for marching and fighting and guarding the fortifications can be treated differently, Qing Shui feels that he is going to be hungry, but the staff headquarters that is thousands of miles away thinks that he will stay dry and not walk, and the existing rations can last for three more days if he is half eaten!

The soldiers were lying hungry in the fortifications, the weather was still strangely cold, the snow had not yet fallen, the ground was already shickling, and there was no food in the stomach, could the body be warm? When people are cold, they shiver, and when they shiver, they scold their mothers!

The old devil soldiers all pray that there will be no snow, and the clouds will drift over to the south, so that as soon as the sky clears, they can come to the plane to drop good food and drink, but this is our Chinese's territory, and the snow is also towards the Chinese, just when the old devil prays, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, goose feathers and heavy snow will fall all over the sky!

To be honest, it's nothing if it snows, the key is to be hungry, the thick is thin, and the thin has changed from enough to quantitative, which is difficult!

One thing is not bad, that is, the Eighth Road did not appear again, the heavy snow fell for two days and one night in one breath, and it was not knee-thick, if the Eighth Road took advantage of the heavy snow to sneak attack, the already cold and hungry devil was really worried about how to deal with it.

Yang Bangzi ordered not to sneak attack, let the strong wind and heavy snow clean up the devils, all the participating troops rotated to monitor the devils in the surroundings, and the troops who were not on duty went back to rest vigorously, and the people who slept on the hot kang were very refreshed!

Before the military region got the final and definite news, it was to let Yang Bangzi use the old method to try to squeeze the devils out, and the military region immediately studied the issue of taking the horse post.

In 43, the crops of the 11th Division were quite good, and the wasteland reclaimed by the troops was also harvested with grain. If you have 10,000 people on hand, do you still need to keep the devil and play with it like this? Yang Bangzi has already chosen a place to put a big trick on the devil! (To be continued......)
