"Order, all the main forces of the detachment are assembled at once and ready for battle!" The detachment leader reacted quickly, and at a glance he could see what the commissar was thinking, and then he returned to his usual serious expression and began to give orders.

"Local troops, guerrillas, immediately do a good job of clearing the wilderness!"

"The reconnaissance unit, the cavalry company directly under the detachment, immediately attacked, closely monitoring all the intersections in the base area. As long as the Japanese puppet army encircles and suppresses the troops into the base area, report it immediately! ”

"Commissar, you are responsible for the logistics of the troops, the ideological work of the fighters. Chief of Staff, you should contact the military sub-districts and military districts to see if you can get a plan of action and a march route for the Japanese army related to this encirclement and suppression! ”

If he does not transfer troops from around the base area, it can be seen that Terauchi Shouichi has learned the lessons of the previous failures, and it is imperative to win this encirclement and suppression operation.

By the time the intelligence system of the Eighth Route Army really discovered the Japanese encirclement and suppression troops, they had already reached the edge of the base area by railroad and highway. Then he did not stop and rest in the surrounding Japanese puppet army strongholds, and directly bypassed these strongholds and entered the base area.

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy commander-in-chief has lost his temper several times.

The reason is that he believes that the intelligence services are inactive, although he has long known that the Japanese army is preparing a large-scale sweep, but the specific scale of the sweep and the start time of the sweep ...... Nothing.

In the end, it was not until the hundreds of thousands of Japanese puppet troops reached the doorstep that the intelligence department sent the relevant information to him.

"What's the use of sending the information after the devils have entered the base area?" The deputy commander-in-chief couldn't help but continue to scold.

The deputy chief of staff comforted: "Boss, it's not their fault. This must have been done by the little devils on purpose, more than 100,000 people, all of whom were transferred from other places, and transported by road and railway, and attacked our base area with lightning speed, which was obviously trying to catch us off guard! ”

"It seems that our old opponent, General Terauchi Shouichi, is bound to win this encirclement and suppression battle!"

The deputy commander-in-chief finally calmed down, frowned and analyzed: "The little devil is indeed bound to win!" ”

"Look at their attacking troops from all directions, each road has nearly a brigade of real devils and the same number of imperial troops, and the smaller ones also have a reinforced wing, and they are also equipped with a lot of heavy artillery, plus there are aircraft escorts in the sky, they obviously suffered the loss of the previous division of troops, this time it is a long lesson!"

"The Japanese puppet army with the smallest troops, we can't kill a brigade of troops in a short time!" The deputy chief of staff continued to analyze.

"Boss, it seems that in this anti-encirclement and suppression battle, we can't fight hard with the devil!"

"Then fight guerrilla warfare, fight sports warfare!" The deputy commander-in-chief answered without thinking about it!

"Inform all troops, military districts, military divisions. In the early days of the anti-encirclement campaign, we mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, but all units had to keep a close eye on the devils and look for fighters. ”

"As long as there are fighters, all units do not need to report it, and they can fight directly!"

"However, I have a precondition that the casualties of the troops must be controlled."

"The encirclement and suppression operation launched by more than 100,000 Japanese puppet troops together was unprecedented in scale. It is certainly not possible to end in a short time. All units must control the casualties well and be ready to fight a protracted war with the devils! ”

The Japanese puppet army moved very quickly and fought very resolutely.

When encountering the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army, it directly bombed with aircraft and artillery, and then attacked forward with lightning speed.

At the beginning of the battle, in less than three days, a large area of land was lost in the base area, more than a dozen county towns were occupied by the Japanese army, a large number of villages were burned to ashes by the Japanese army, and many anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians were slaughtered by the Japanese puppet army, and not even a single corpse was collected.

"Boss, the devils are fighting too fiercely, there are a total of ten attacking troops, and each way into the base area is more than fifty kilometers!" The deputy chief of staff pointed to the military flag representing the devil's attack force on the sand table, and reminded with a worried face.

"What about our casualties? It's not big! The deputy commander-in-chief asked with a frown.

"The casualties of the main forces were not large, but the casualties of the local troops and partisans were large!" The deputy chief of staff replied.

"The little devil is simply evil this time, when he encounters our sneak attack troops, he doesn't fight back, he comes up with artillery bombardment, bombardment with airplanes, just like ammunition doesn't need money!"

The anger of the deputy commander-in-chief suddenly came out, and he smashed his clenched fist on the edge of the sand table and scolded: "Nonsense, let the local troops and guerrillas do everything, what do I want the main force to do!" The casualties of the local troops and guerrillas are so large, but there are no casualties among the main forces, how can you let us give an explanation to the common people! ”

The order was passed on, and the main force was to be the main force in the next anti-encirclement and suppression battle, and the local troops and guerrillas could only undertake the tasks of on-site vigilance, treating the wounded, and cleaning up the battlefield. As a last resort, they must not be allowed to go directly to the battlefield! ”

"Also, the people who informed us can't be beaten so passively all the time, looking for opportunities to fight devils and fight back a few times. If you can't beat the devils, you can destroy some puppet troops! ”

"In addition, inform the arsenal that as long as the battle does not reach him, I will work overtime to produce ammunition. Send as many as you want to the front-line troops, and you can't let the soldiers fight with devils with weapons without ammunition, that's not much different from burning sticks! ”

"Yes, boss!" The deputy chief of staff immediately replied.

The whole of North China was shrouded in war everywhere.

The Japanese puppet army attacked the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army attacked the Japanese puppet army, and dozens of battles occurred every day.

And as the main force of the Eighth Route Army began to attack, the speed of the Japanese attack finally slowed down.

In particular, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, because of its arsenal, has the opportunity to get the first time by relying on the proximity to the water. Although the heavy equipment of the main forces of each army division is similar to that of other Eighth Route Army troops. However, the configuration of light weapons can already be called the best in the Eighth Route Army.

Each man had one rifle, the infantry platoon was armed with one machine gun, and the infantry company was equipped with a small artillery squad with three grenadiers. The infantry battalion is armed with a machine-gun platoon with three heavy machine guns, and the infantry regiment is equipped with an artillery company ...

Although many artillery batteries were not fully manned, other small arms were sufficient, and ammunition was sufficient, with more than 50 rounds per rifleman.

And as the arsenal worked overtime to produce, the ammunition reserves of the regiments continued to increase.

If the weapons and equipment are good, they will be more confident in starting a war.

Having received the order to counterattack, the first detachment fired the first shot of the counterattack.

The tiger pulled out his teeth, used the cover of night, and ate an infantry brigade of the Japanese army and a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army in one bite!

But what was surprising was that the Japanese army didn't care about these casualties, and had no intention of stopping and fighting a decisive battle, and continued to attack forward.

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, when the anti-encirclement and suppression operation came, the deputy commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff were stationed in the war room, eating and living in the war room, staring at the latest movements of the Japanese puppet army on the sand table.

After reading the several more telegrams sent by the communications staff officer, the deputy chief of staff, who had been frowning, suddenly showed a look of sudden realization on his face, and shouted loudly.

"I see! Boss, finally figured it out! ”

"The reason why the Japanese army drove straight into it was because they went to our headquarters in various places. They want to take out our chain of command first, and then attack separately when the troops are in chaos and destroy us in one fell swoop! ”
