The sudden arrival of combat troops from all sides made the Japanese army a little anxious in the defense on all sides.

It was like a leaky dike, and the little devils hurriedly plugged one place, and immediately other Chinese forces carved out the second and third gaps.

The more you make up, the worse it gets!

Under the fierce attack of the main combat force of the Eighth Route Army, Shinozuka Yoshio decided to abandon Yangguan, Pingbei, Hanoi and other three large strongholds that were originally used to block the outer lines of the Eighth Route Army's base areas.

And with the retreat of the Japanese army.

Yoshio Shinozuka originally thought that after these damn Eighth Route Army defeated Yangguan, Pingbei, Hanoi and other three strongholds, they should finally stop, right?

After taking the strongholds of Yangguan, Pingbei, and Hanoi, they actually went on the offensive and continued to launch an attack on some of the more remote counties and towns in the area of the Japanese army's quasi-security zone.

At the same time, the command of the Japanese army received messages from all directions:

Originally, in the northwest area of Jin, the Eighth Route troops in various base areas launched a surprise attack on the Japanese puppet army at night.

Without exception, they avoided some county towns and towns that were mainly defended by the Japanese army, and chose some remote towns and towns and some small and medium-sized strongholds where the Japanese army's strength was relatively weak and the defensive strength was relatively weak.

Even on some communication lines in the quasi-security zone of the devils, sabotage operations were carried out.

The all-night offensive, after the Eighth Route Army detachment took the lead in launching an attack on the strongholds of Yangguan, Binh Bei and Hanoi, gradually evolved into an uncontrollable situation.

"General, these damn dirt roads are like crazy, they are like a pack of mad dogs, except for some county towns and towns that are firmly controlled by our army.

Including the quasi-security areas of our army, and even some solid marginal security areas, they have been attacked by these Eighth Route Army troops!"

After Kitagawa, the chief of staff of the devil, received relevant information from the Ministry of Communications, he rushed to the headquarters and reported to Yoshio Shinozuka.

At the same time, he brought another little hurtful, but extremely insulting news to Yoshio Shinozuka:

"In addition, General, this time, together with these damn Eight Ways of Dirt attacking the security and quasi-security areas of our empire, in addition to the Eighth Route Army, we even found bandits in them!"

"Nani?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Yoshio Shinozuka's face, and then turned into irrepressible anger.

Such a state of affairs really made Yoshio Shinozuka feel an old Chinese saying:

The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs!

In these years, anyone really dared to run out and step on his feet in the Great Japanese Empire.

Night.

A certain township.

As early as a few years ago, the township had completely fallen and had been in the hands of the Japanese, with occasional guerrilla units of the Eighth Route Army appearing and being planned as a quasi-security area by the Japanese army.

Due to the remoteness of the location, the number of troops stationed by the devils is not much, and there are less than two classes of devils.

After the night battle began, the commune was suddenly attacked by an armed force.

The devil's communication soldiers came in a hurry to report.

The supreme commander of the Japanese army in charge of the garrison, a devil second lieutenant, asked with a slashed face: "Baga, such a battle, it must be the damned Tu Balu who is attacking, how many people are coming from Balu?" What is the specific firepower configuration?"

「…… Your Excellency Second Lieutenant, it doesn't seem to be the Eighth Route Army, it seems to be a group of bandits!"

"Nani? Say it again!"

"It's a gang of bandits!" The communications soldier reluctantly repeated.

"Yaga!"

The second lieutenant, who was a little annoyed, scolded, "Do these damn Chinese bandits dare to ignore the might of our Great Japanese Empire?"

The angry devil lieutenant immediately led more than 20 little devils to the fortifications of the township to defend.

Although the battle between the two sides was not a large-scale confrontation, it was still extremely hot.

It is not a particularly violent point of fire, and it will still be local

The darkness dispelled quite a bit.

The one who led the attack was the one who received a letter from Xie Baoqing this time, and the relatively large one was among the dozen bandit teams that followed the back of the Eighth Route Army to fight devils together.

There are more than 150 people in the entire bandit team, which is not much worse than the Black Cloud Village back then.

The bandit who led the team became the head of the family, with a fierce face, which was completely different from Xie Baoqing, who was the former boss of Heiyun Village and had a somewhat sour and rancid taste.

As soon as he spoke, "Brothers, the head of the Eighth Route Army, the head of the Eighth Route Army, that is, the one who cuts off the head of the little devil and never blinks, everyone has heard of it, right?"

"Hmph, isn't Lao Tzu bragging to you, do you know how big your face is?

This time, the captain of the Kong detachment is ready to deal with the little devils. specially asked Xie Baoqing, the original leader of Heiyun Village, to write a letter to Lao Tzu.

What for?

If you want to ask us to fight devils together and fish for oil and water!

If you want to say that although we are bandits, the good man who kills devils, such as the captain of the Kong detachment, we still admire it from the bottom of our hearts.

Captain Kong invited us to cut the devils, can we be vague?"

After saying a rough word, he not only gave himself enough face, but also boosted the morale of all the minions.

Sure enough, the minions shouted and cheered one by one.

The second boss even echoed: "The big boss, the captain of the Kong detachment is a very unprovoked person, he can write to you in person, which means that he looks down on you."

In addition, we have heard that Xie Baoqing, the big boss of Heiyun Village, later followed the captain of the Kong detachment, and it was a mixture.

Good guy, now I am the head of a group of migrant workers, and I have heard that there are thousands of people under my hands!

To have a face, to have a reputation, to have a reputation, so that it is not beautiful.

Big brother, since we want to follow Captain Kong and them to fight devils this time, we should do a big job, save all the votes for us, and go to Captain Kong in the future!"

The bandit boss said, "Haha, what the second brother said is good, that's what Lao Tzu meant.

We've been doing this business for so many years, and this thing won't last long, and we're tired of it.

If the brothers have this backbone, after killing the devil this time, we will also defect to the Eighth Route Army when we turn back!"

After thinking about it like this, the bandits finally felt that it was not interesting to just hit some small and medium-sized strongholds and sneak attack some small villages of devils.

So he chose the current township as the target of the attack.

Fighting broke out at night.

If you want to say that when this gang of bandits fights, they will use their brains.

I may not know much about tactics, but this gang of bandits is simply familiar with the way to go to the sentry and carry out a sneak attack at night.

First, he sent a few old bandits with good skills, took the opportunity to touch in, and knocked down a few sentries on the fortifications.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining bandits and minions, as soon as they took advantage of their housekeeping skills, easily took advantage of the cover of the night to quietly infiltrate the outer line of fortifications built by the Japanese puppet army, and temporarily lurked.

Due to the remoteness of the township and the fact that the military role is not so important, there is not even an ancient city wall in the periphery of the entire township.

Only some fortifications and checkpoints set up by the Japanese army on some official roads that must be passed.

That's it.

It wasn't until more than 100 bandits had almost touched the fortifications built by the Japanese puppet army that the battle suddenly began.

In the end, the two sides exchanged for more than 20 minutes.

24 little devils, plus nearly 30 puppet soldiers, were all killed by this group of bandits.

The bandits relied on a sneak attack and touched the devil's sentry in advance, but even so, the casualties were still not small, and they killed fifty or sixty people and injured more than twenty people.

While the angry bandit boss scolded and scolded, he had to sigh: "This little devil on donkey day really has two brushes.

If it weren't for our sneak attack this time, and the number of devils and puppets on the defence is not large, we would have really planted here

Finish.

I can only realize now that Captain Kong can easily kill hundreds or thousands of little devils, which is really not bragging!"

……

……

Battles similar to the bandit forces' sneak attacks on some towns, villages, and small and medium-sized strongholds in the quasi-security area of the devils are not uncommon at night.

The news came one after another, which made the devil commanders angry.

By about four o'clock in the evening.

The main forces of each regiment of a detachment attacked Yangguan, and the operations in Pingbei and Hanoi were basically completely over.

However, the entire northwest of Jin Province did not stop because of the end of the battle for a detachment attacking the Japanese stronghold, but intensified.

The entire northwest of Jin Province even made a pot of porridge tonight.

In the northwest area of Shanxi Province, the Japanese army mainly occupied the county seats, towns and other quasi-security areas on the edge of the outer line of the solid security area.

Originally, some small and medium-sized strongholds used by the Japanese army to guard and blockade the base areas of the Eighth Route Army were attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army one after another.

Because it all came suddenly, the momentum was huge.

It was again in the middle of this unusually cold night, and the Japanese puppet army was caught off guard.

The combat units of the Eighth Route Army, which were operating in the northwest area of Shanxi Province, took advantage of the fact that all forces were attacking the Japanese army tonight and further expanded the area of the guerrilla zone.

At the same time, they took advantage of the chaos to capture many small and medium-sized strongholds of the Japanese army, and uprooted a large number of advance strongholds built by the abductors in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's base area.

You must know that these forward bases are currently being prepared by the devils and used as base stations for sweeping the base areas of the Eighth Route Army in the future.

It was destroyed in large numbers tonight.

It is equivalent to the hard work that the devil has secretly prepared for several months, and it is ruined in one fell swoop.

By the next day, the Japanese puppet army troops had finally endured until dawn.

When the Japanese reinforcements braved the bitter cold, they also had to reinforce the quasi-security areas that had been raided by the Eighth Route Army.

Wait until the flight unit at the Japanese airfield to be flying, warm up the engine, even if it is brave the bitter cold.

Outcome......

Last night, like a tidal wave, a large number of Chinese armed forces poured out from all directions, including the troops of the Eighth Route Army, the troops of the Jinsui Army, and even some bandits.

It was as if the world had evaporated overnight.

After dawn the next day, five or six devil reconnaissance planes circled and whistled back and forth over some quasi-security areas of the Japanese army in the northwest of Shanxi Province to reconnoitre.

As far as the eye can see, it is snowy.

Then you can still see half of the Eighth Route Army, or the shadow of the Chinese armed forces on all sides?

For the Japanese puppet army troops, everything was like a dream.

If it weren't for the massive bombed fortifications, and the corpses of the soldiers who lay on the cold ground forever and would never wake up again.

They could hardly believe that all this was true.

"Yaga, these damn Balu are so cunning!"

At the headquarters of the First Army, Yoshinori Shinozuka slammed his fist on the table in a manly manner.

In the entire land of northwest Shanxi, the snow has not disappeared, the cold wind is howling, and even the air seems to be completely condensed because of the abnormal cold, and everything is pouring out the slaughter and cold of a winter in dead silence.

This is the battle plan for day and night battles jointly formulated by the commanders of the Eighth Route Army, such as Kong Jie and Xu Guoan, at the headquarters of the first detachment.

The feast of killing is far from over.

In Kong Jie's words, "This is just the beginning, and every night that follows, we will keep the little devil awake all night, shrouded in endless fear!"

Daytime.

The warriors were greedily trimming and recovering as much as they could.

Taking the combat units of a detachment of three regiments as an example, with the outbreak of the Pacific War, as the elite of the Japanese army was continuously withdrawn, the overall combat strength of the Japanese army continued to decline.

In addition, with the help of this winter, Kong Jie's detachment took the lead in targeting the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi in the northwest of Shanxi

A major counteroffensive launched by the security district.

The team has already achieved considerable results.

Among them, there are a large number of territories that originally belonged to the quasi-security zone of the Japanese army, including some forward strongholds that the devils were forced to give up.

After successfully capturing these strongholds, Kong Jie found that although this little devil was hateful, the forward stronghold built by this building, especially in this cold winter and wax moon, when the natural environment was the most harsh and cruel, could play a good role.

With such a good stronghold, turret and other buildings, Kong Jie didn't waste it.

After snatching it from the devil, it was repaired and transformed in turn, and it directly became a team of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, while guarding the core base of a team.

Regain lost territory and attack the important intermediate military stations, granaries and rest stations of the Japanese invaders.

It can even be used as a temporary information and communication station.

The troops that originally launched an attack on the small and medium-sized strongholds and remote towns of the Japanese army at night withdrew to the outer line of a detachment of bases before dawn came, and some nearby strongholds that had been controlled by the soldiers, and then adjusted and rested.

Everyone is cooking in a pot, and relying on one team can completely ensure the logistical transportation and support capabilities of the front-line combat troops.

The soldiers ate warm meals and warmed themselves with charcoal fires, quickly recovering their physical strength and combat effectiveness.

There was such a whole day of rest, and in the evening, the warriors were immediately able to return to their vigorous state.

As Wang Leihu, the commander of the Second Regiment, said: "Comrades, this daytime, let's hurry up to eat and sleep.

Get all your physical strength back, and as soon as it gets dark, let's go his little devil!"

The soldiers followed suit with laughter, and under the high-spirited fighting spirit and happy atmosphere, the food in their mouths became extraordinarily sweet.

New 2nd Regiment.

Li Yunlong is like a wild wolf quietly ambushing, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

His eyes were shining fiercely, and he was staring closely at his combat target this time - the largest artillery test site and processing plant secretly built by the Japanese First Army in Shanxi in Santai Township, a suburb of Taiyuan.

"After last night's battle, the little devil is probably busy now.

Our opportunity to sneak up on the Japanese artillery test site is coming soon!"

"Tomorrow evening, let's grasp the time in advance, the sky is not completely dark, but it is not as bright as the day, and it is easy to be exposed.

Let's follow the established interspersed curve and advance our mechanized combat units to Santai Township as quickly as possible."

Speaking of this, Lao Li laughed a little excitedly: "Lao Zhao, what did you say last time about the German Guderian's blitzkrieg.

Our sneak attack on the devil's artillery test site this time seems to have a little bit of meaning, right?"

Zhao Gang smiled and nodded: "I don't say this, it's a bit like our Eighth Route Army's version of the blitzkrieg!"

"It's a pity, it's a little bit of a plane! After all, we don't have air supremacy, otherwise, Lao Tzu will pull our mechanized combat troops over in broad daylight, why do you need to wait until evening?" Li Yunlong said with some regret......
