Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, from the book "Mencius".

This is an old Chinese saying.

The Japanese, who like to delve into Chinese culture, but have always been unable to understand the form, probably do not understand the truth.

But it doesn't matter, the Eighth Route Army troops quickly taught the little devil a lesson with facts.

Neixiang, Qingye Township, Xixiang, Sanquan Township and other four towns and three towns.

If it is said that when the Japanese came to attack these towns and villages, the people were panicked and frightened.

So at this moment, when I heard that the troops of the Eighth Route Army were attacking these towns and villages, what appeared on the faces of the people was a great surprise.

One by one, they were overjoyed, lying at the gate and waiting for the news of the battle in the direction of the city gate.

No matter how bold they were, they even risked being affected by the war, running all the way to the area where the Eighth Route Army was attacking the city, and watched the movement from afar.

When the news came: the Eighth Route Army was like a bamboo, and the Japanese puppet army was wiped out.

The people immediately danced with their hands and feet, celebrated, and even spontaneously gathered together and rushed to the direction of the city gate to meet each other.

When the news came: the offensive of the Eighth Route Army was unfavorable, and many attacks were repulsed.

Many old people who heard the news at first glance burst into tears and wept bitterly.

There are even believers in Buddhism, with their hands folded, praying that the Buddha will bless the Eighth Route Army to fight smoothly, regain the lost territory in one fell swoop, and drive away the Japanese invaders.

After the four towns and three towns were attacked, as soon as the soldiers entered the city gate, the people had already greeted each other.

Then, the people who had the support of the people's soldiers.

Without saying a word, they bravely stood up and pulled out the traitors, puppet soldiers, and pro-Japanese people who usually help the devils to do evil from the townships and towns one by one.

In addition, where are the devil's warehouses and where are the arsenals, including some private enterprises occupied by the Japanese army in the towns and villages, banks, banks, shops, and so on.

There's nothing that the common people don't know.

Everyone is waiting for the troops of the people's soldiers to enter the city and regain the lost territory!

An old man saw a few commanders who led the team, and for a while he burst into tears, and then he was stunned and held the hands of several commanders and did not let go, which was more cordial than seeing her own son, and she kept asking: "Child, you will not leave this town this time, right?" ”

This is the situation that ordinary people are most worried about.

In the whole of North China, the situation of Sino-Japanese warfare has always been that of a strong enemy and a weak enemy.

The Eighth Route Army lacked logistical supplies, poor equipment, and scarce ammunition, and sometimes could occasionally capture towns and villages, but was forced to evacuate after the capture.

This situation is powerless for the Eighth Route Army.

For the people, the Eighth Route Army's breakthrough of towns and villages brought hope to everyone.

But with the withdrawal of the Eighth Route Army, it once again disappointed everyone.

In this back-and-forth between disappointment and hope, the people have had enough of this kind of fear and hardship.

That's why I had a heartfelt inquiry in front of me.

The company commander who led the team nodded heavily, and then said with relief: "Auntie, don't worry!"

Don't go, this time we won't go to death, our detachment leader has given a death order, after these four towns and three towns are defeated, they will completely stabilize and become the base of our team, and the villagers in our towns will be guarded by our Eighth Route Army in the future! ”

"Great, it's an eye-opener!" The eldest lady's tears were even more violent, but this time she cried with joy.

This situation is not one, it happens in four towns and three towns.

After the soldiers broke through the four towns and three towns such as Neixiang and Qingye Town, the people greeted each other in the middle of the road, and cooperated with the troops of the Eighth Route Army to quickly take over the entire township.

Guided by the common people, the soldiers took the lead in defeating the bullies, inferior gentry, traitors, puppet army, and all kinds of puppet regimes in the townships.

Then he quickly took control of all the military facilities that the Japanese army had originally controlled when they were stationed in the township.

Finally, the troops were dispersed, stationed in the towns and villages, repairing fortifications, and preparing for subsequent defensive operations.

With the help of the people, after conquering the four towns and three towns, the soldiers quickly established a firm foothold, and only needed to send the least number of troops, with the help of a large number of enthusiastic people, they could efficiently complete all aspects of work.

Even when they were stationed at the city gates, many young men spontaneously came to help.

He also begged the commanders to join the Eighth Route Army.

For such a situation, Kong Jie, Xu Guoan and other commanders had already expected it, so they followed Kong Jie's explanation at the meeting.

The regimental commanders issued orders one after another:

Villagers who are enthusiastic about running to help and actively support the work of the Eighth Route Army, if it is voluntary, in good health, and of the right age, are allowed to temporarily form a reserve team of the Eighth Route Army.

and issued certain equipment, as for whether they can officially join the Eighth Route Army in the future, it depends on their performance.

As soon as this order was issued, the young people who came to help became more actively involved.

Under such circumstances, when the Japanese army headquarters mobilized the three armies, a large number of reinforcements rushed to the four towns and three towns, in an attempt to re-break the city gate, eliminate the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and reoccupy the four towns and three towns.

Although the devil's reinforcements came quickly, by the time the battle broke out suddenly, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were defending the city in the four towns and three towns had already been waiting for a long time.

On one side is a long-distance run, a tired division, coupled with heavy snow, the cold is abnormal, and he is still wearing the tattered cotton clothes issued in the previous two years, and the little devils who came all the way, his hands holding rifles have been frozen red and swollen.

On the other hand, they are recuperating and ready for battle.

As a specially built winter combat unit this time.

The fighters were warmly dressed and comfortably fed.

After the township was settled, a large number of ordinary people enthusiastically brought all kinds of food from their homes.

If you don't want to say anything, you will give it to the soldiers.

Some elderly people even boiled ginger soup from their homes to ward off the cold for the soldiers.

So much so that even in this cold winter, the cold wind was raging, guarding the top of the city gate, many soldiers held their rifles, and before they saw the enemy, their palms were already hot and sweaty.

There is really no gap without comparison.

As for the military quality of the troops, in this attack on the four towns and three towns, Kong Jie dispatched the absolute elite of the team.

And what they are facing is only the troops of the Japanese Army's Division B, and to a certain extent, it is just a security army.

Compared with the absolute field elite of the Devil Seed Division, these Devil Security Army is still a lot worse.

Equipping a team is even more of a little devil.

A large number of American-style equipment, when the battle broke out, the little devils under the city gate who were directly hit were screaming.

A few Browning heavy machine guns, one at the battlement of the fortifications on the top of the city.

If you go down with a condescending strafing shot, even if you have a brigade of little devils, you can't see it.

The Japanese reinforcements who arrived launched several attacks on the fortifications of the township gates, but they were easily routed in the confusion, and the casualties spread rapidly.

Only then did the little devils realize that the enemies they faced this time were far stronger than they had ever encountered before.

These Eighth Route Army are also determined to occupy these four towns and three towns, and they have no intention of giving up at all.

Thick snow, exaggerated places, can even drown the knees.

At first, I didn't think there was anything, but when it was time to march and fight, the little devils realized the difficulty.

Every step will sink deep into the snow pit, and as soon as you reach the city gate, you will basically run out of energy.

Then he entered the battle in a hurry, and his original combat effectiveness could not even be brought into play.

Coupled with the deep snow, the devil's transport vehicles are simply impassable.

The devils made some sleds and pulled a few cannons.

Due to the slow speed and the bitter cold weather, the transport troops were in a state of distress and only halfway through the artillery transport.

It is simply impossible to support the siege battle ahead in time.

It was learned that the battle to attack the four towns and three towns was not going well, and the casualties of the troops were quite heavy.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the devil, was depressed. I had to continue to issue the appointment.

Attempts were made to draw more reinforcements from various county towns to attack the four townships and three towns.

This old devil also made up his mind, saying that he would regain control of these four towns and three towns in the hands of the Japanese Empire.

If you just suffer a dumb loss in vain and admit it in the hands of a team of the Eighth Route Army, it will greatly damage the military prestige of the Japanese army.

It will even give the Chinese military and people in the whole of North China a false impression: the Japanese army is no longer enough to hold the occupied area, and it is no longer even the opponent of the Eighth Route Army!

This kind of illusion is something that Yoshio Shinozuka will never allow to exist.

This will inevitably have a huge impact on the security and stability of North China and will trigger a surge of anti-Japanese sentiment among the Chinese.

"Fight, at all costs, and we must not sit idly by and watch the four towns and three towns fall into the hands of a team of the Eighth Route Army!"

Inside the devil's headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka gave the order categorically.

Then, the old devil quickly focused his eyes on the map of the distribution of Japanese troops, trying to do everything possible to draw more reinforcements over.

"According to the intelligence investigation at the front, this time the Eighth Route Army team used almost all the main forces of the team in order to take the four towns and three towns of our empire in one fell swoop.

If our army reinforcements can besiege all the four towns and three towns, it is very likely to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop! ”

Kitagawa, the chief of staff of the devil, spoke, and he never gave up his dream of destroying a team.

Then the two old devils pondered the map.

From which areas, on the premise of ensuring local law and order, reinforcements can be drawn to encircle the four townships and three towns.

However, before the two old devils could make a decision, news came one after another:

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared near Zhangzhuang and are attacking Zhangzhuang."

"Your Excellency Commander, there is an urgent communication from the direction of Ping'an County, saying that the two towns under its jurisdiction have been raided by the troops of the Eighth Route Army!"

And that's not all.

Even in the vicinity of Heyuan County and Bianding Town, troops of the Eighth Route Army appeared, and the target went straight to some remote towns and towns of the devil.

The style of play is exactly the same as the way the Eighth Route Army attacked the four towns and three towns.

The entire northwest of Jin seems to have become a pot of porridge all of a sudden.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army on all sides are attacking the remote towns and villages of the devils, and they really treat the little devils as fat meat in their mouths, and they can eat them if they want to.

"What's going on over there with Jin Suijun?" Yoshio Shinozuka, who frowned, asked again.

It's okay not to ask, but asking is like a complete stab at a hornet's nest.

"General, this Jin Sui Army first captured Baiyang Town in one fell swoop with the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army during the 57th Regiment raiding our army's townships and towns!"

"Then in Qi County, Nanxiang and other areas, according to the exploration of our army's reconnaissance troops, a large number of Jin Sui Army troops appeared, and after investigation, it was the 358 Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, Chu Yunfei's troops."

"Bastard!"

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly scolded: "It's this Chu Yunfei again, this Jin Sui Army first captured Baiyang Town with the 57th Regiment.

Now this 358 regiment has suddenly appeared again, what is this going to do?

Could it be that this Jin Sui Army has really joined forces with the Eighth Route Army to resist Japan? ”

This speculation made Shinozuka Yoshio's mood a little heavy, and what he was most worried about was that those Chinese would unite and join forces to resist Japan.

Beichuan replied: "General, this may not be.

The 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army captured the town of Baiyang of our army, and after that, I have secretly contacted the top level of the Jin Sui Army in accordance with your explanation, the general.

The man surnamed Yan said that there was absolutely no such thing as the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army joining forces to capture the township.

The 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army attacked Baiyang Town, which was by no means the order of the Jin Sui Army Commander's Department.

In addition, the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army led by Chu Yunfei did not directly march to Qi County and Nanxiang, but conducted military exercises near there. ”

"Military exercises?"

"Yes, General, they seem to be conducting field confrontation exercises, and there was even artillery bombardment during training, but they did not attack the city."

Yoshio Shinozuka's face was unusually ugly, "Bastard, this damn Chu Yunfei, where is this military exercise?" This is clearly a threat and intimidation!

Although the 358th Regiment did not directly attack the occupied areas of our army, this move was a vague threat to our army, which meant that our army dared to leave Qi County and Nanchang, and his 358th Regiment could turn military exercises into actual military combat at any time and attack our army's towns and towns. ”

"This damn Yan Laoxi is playing Tai Chi again, Yang Feng Yin is violating!"

At this moment, even the commander of the First Army of the Devil, Yoshio Shinozuka is completely embarrassed.

Originally, he wanted to use troops to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in four towns and three towns in one fell swoop.

As a result, near Zhangzhuang, Ding Wei led a new regiment to attack.

Around Ping'an County, in remote towns and villages, Li Yunlong directly led a new regiment to attack non-stop.

Near Naqi County and Nanxiang, damn Chu Yunfei actually led the team to engage in some kind of intimidating military exercises.

Coupled with the news from the four towns and three towns, those Chinese people in the city seem to be actively cooperating with the Eighth Route Army to defend the city.

For a moment, Yoshio Shinozuka felt depressed to the extreme.

It seems that the entire Sanjin army is openly and secretly helping the Eighth Route Army to fight.

Everywhere he was against the Japanese Empire.

So far, although Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, still hasn't understood the truth that those who have attained the Tao have a lot of help.

But he has deeply experienced the depression of the unrighteous and helpless.

Until another news came, saying that even the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain suddenly launched a fierce attack on remote towns and villages today, pinning down a large number of Japanese troops in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain.

It seems that a detachment of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Yinyangquan, Shouyang and Tan County is fighting.

At this point, Yoshio Shinozuka could only give up his plan to destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army in desperation.

After all, he didn't have the courage.

In order to eliminate a detachment of the Eighth Route Army, the First Army has been stationed in Shanxi for many years and has been operating and building a hard work that has been ruined in one fell swoop......
