Headquarters of the Mongolian Army.

The commander of the devil was also panicked at this moment, he was afraid that the worst situation he expected would happen, for fear that those Eighth Route Army and the 35th Route Army would join forces.

Taking advantage of the lack of troops in his Mongolian army, when he was heading south to reinforce the First Army, he directly waved his army south to break through the defense line set by his Japanese army.

If you sneak attack in one fell swoop and interfere with the confrontation between the First Army and the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area, it will be troublesome.

In the face of the irregularity of the troops of the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi and the attacks from all directions, the Mongolian army had no choice but to constantly draw troops from the base camps in Baotou and Datong to assist the security army in defense.

……

Inside the Hetao Headquarters of the Eighth Theater of the National Revolutionary Army.

The 358th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army almost annihilated the elite Suzuki Wing of the Japanese army in Mongolia after several hours of fierce fighting in the Xiaonanzhuang area.

and defeated the West Field United stationed in Baode County and fully occupied Baode.

After the news came.

The commanders of the Eighth War Zone, headed by Fu Yisheng, were all taken aback.

The Eighth Route Army's earth-shattering operation exceeded everyone's expectations.

As for Fu Yisheng, he took out the letter written to him by the commander of the 120th Division again and pondered it again.

Originally, according to the meaning of the 120th Division, it was hoped that his 35th Route Army could take the opportunity to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army and contain the troops stationed in Mongolia.

I thought that everything was for the confrontation between the First Army of the Devils and the troops of the Eighth Route Army of Taihang in the Taihang Base Area.

It's just that now it seems that the movement of the Eighth Route Army of the Northwest Military Region is also getting bigger and bigger.

"What do they want to do?"

Fu Yisheng pondered for a long time, but after all, he couldn't figure out the intention of the Eighth Route Army.

However, this did not prevent the master of chicken stealing from realizing that perhaps the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the opportunity was about to appear.

He immediately ordered that the main generals of the three armies be gathered, and then arranged for all troops to be vigilant against the movements of the Japanese army at any time.

Fu Yisheng finally summed up the core of the meeting in one sentence:

"The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army are in a confrontation, we will definitely have a chance, as long as we seize the opportunity, don't miss it, maybe our biggest fighter will be in the near future!"

In this way, the little devil had more and more headaches, and on the one hand, he was wary of the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Northern Jin, which seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and on the other hand, he only felt that his back was cold and swishing.

Fu Yisheng, a master of stealing chickens, no one can say when he will suddenly come out and take a bite.

……

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army in Shanxi in Taiyuan City, the devil commander Yoshio Shinozuka was not looking good at the moment.

The news that the Eighth Route Army captured Baode in one fell swoop, almost destroyed the Suzuki United, and directly defeated the Nishino United.

And just stuck in the Japanese army's vigorous propaganda of the operation of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area, the operation of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal in Huangyadong is like a bamboo.

As a result, it was just a slap in the face.

Regarding the operation on the northern side of Jin, about the almost annihilation of the Suzuki Wing, plus the old devil Suzuki was captured alive, and was tried and executed.

The propaganda of the Eighth Route Army was very sufficient, and newspapers were also distributed to the streets and alleys of the Japanese-occupied areas in northern Shanxi and Taihang.

It was not until this moment that the little devils realized that their so-called occupation area had already been infiltrated by the Eighth Route Army.

The news deliberately propagated by these damned Eighth Route Army made it impossible for them to stop it at all, and it quickly spread in the occupied areas.

The international war correspondents involved in it were keenly aware of all this.

Regarding the so-called false propaganda of the Japanese army before, the absolute superiority against the Eighth Route Army seems to be self-defeating, and the face of the little devil is lost.

In fact, at this time, the little devils on the battlefields around Taihang were almost unbearable.

Huangya Cave area.

The only passage to enter the interior of the Yellow Cliff Cave was forcibly dug through by the little devils two days ago.

As a result, the devil spent time and effort, withstanding the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and it took two full days to dig a passage of several hundred meters.

As soon as the digging was reached, only a few loud bangs were heard, and the mountains on both sides collapsed again, burying all the two or three hundred little devils alive in it.

So far.

The 36th Division, which was in a hurry in the outer area of Huangya Cave, was also helpless, so it simply completely cut off the idea of opening up a first-line sky passage and reinforcing the internal vanguard troops.

As for the more than 3,000 devil elites who were still locked up in the Yellow Cliff Cave at this time and became the turtles in the urn, they were already at the end of the crossbow at this time.

It was impossible to win, and it was impossible to escape, and in the mountains of Huangya Cave, the artillery group offensive hidden everywhere of the Eighth Route Army was like a nightmare that could not be shaken off.

The little devil is trembling, and there is almost nowhere to escape.

The aerial firepower reinforcements of the devils who were still roaring in the sky were taken down by Ye Min and the commandos with the big radio station of the airborne troops of the devils.

There's no use for it anymore.

In addition, there are far more battlefields that require firepower reinforcements.

The devil's flying force had no choice but to leave the sky inside the Yellow Cliff Cave.

The remnants of the Japanese army had no aerial fire reinforcements, and were completely blocked in the mountains by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the next fate can be imagined.

Militarily, it was not the first to be wiped out, it was in a blockade, the food was exhausted, the water was not drunk, and the weather in the mountains was still cold at this time.

Within two days, the fighting will of the remaining more than 1,000 little devils was basically crushed.

So on a dark and windy night, Commander Cheng, Regiment Commander Xu, Regiment Commander Jiang, Regiment Commander Feng and others led the main forces of each regiment to launch a surprise attack at night.

】

By the next day, at dawn, all the little devils were cleared.

More than 200 people were also captured.

This is a very rare thing since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Especially for these little devils from the elite of the Japanese army at the moment.

It's really that the state of these little devils is basically almost to the limit, hungry, cold and thirsty, where is there still much so-called will to fight.

When more than 200 surrendered little devils honestly disarmed and rushed to the base of the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers served them fragrant meals.

One by one, in the process of gobbling up, I re-experienced the life that a living person should have.

Soon after, in the newspaper published by the propaganda department of the Eighth Route Army, there was such a scene, which recorded more than 200 Japanese soldiers wearing Showa military uniforms, holding rice bowls, holding steamed buns, and even squatting together with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in a very friendly manner, enjoying lunch.

The headline reads:

The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially, and the unjust imperial aggressorism will perish sooner or later!

The corresponding subheadings in the following paragraphs enter the main text, and there are even reporters who have interviewed some soldiers at the bottom of the Japanese army after surrendering to the Eighth Route Army.

According to the true feelings of these soldiers, in the past few days when they surrendered to the Eighth Route Army and became prisoners, they slept most steadily, ate the most soundly, and lived the most comfortable life.

"I've never been so happy!"

Kotaro Higashino said in Japanese with a happy face in the interview.

And these propaganda and reports, for the Japanese army, were more like invisible weapons, which simply made the Japanese invaders unable to guard against them.

The psychological defense line has been greatly impacted.

…… Ye Min, the deputy captain of the commando team, also won the final victory in this contest with the special airborne troops of the little devils.

Not only that, Ye Min also fulfilled his promise to the deputy chief of the General Staff, using ether shells to capture almost the entire devil airborne troops alive.

The commander of the Airborne Forces of the Destruction of China, the Japanese army of Shozo Shimada was an exception.

From the time Ye Min used radio directional positioning technology to lock the radio communication department of this devil airborne troops.

It means that the life of this special airborne unit of the devil is coming to an end.

In the ensuing contest between the two sides, Ye Min led the members of the assault team, and with the cooperation of various artillery groups, they cast a large net, and gradually wiped out the entire airborne troops of the China Eradication Army.

Only Shimada Shozo, an old devil, has some ability.

He escaped from the encirclement opened by the soldiers many times.

In the end, Ye Min, who had a keen sense of smell, led the members of the commando team to completely besiege him on a certain mountain.

A few days later, Ye Min and his team members found this invincible devil in a cave somewhere.

To say that this old devil is indeed ruthless enough, after completely cutting off food and seeing no hope, he actually committed suicide by disembowelment in this remote and dark cave.

It was disgusting.

Ye Min admired that this old devil was a tough guy, and when he left, he threw a grenade into the cave.

It can be regarded as the backbone of this tough guy devil as a soldier, and the last respect.

So far.

The more than 3,000 elite devils who entered the interior of the Yellow Cliff Cave, including this special airborne unit parachuted by the devils, were completely defeated.

From beginning to end, with the impregnable defense of the entire Huangya Cave, if the soldiers wanted to, these more than 3,000 little devils could not even break through the outer defense area of the Huangya Cave Arsenal.

……

The outer battlefield of Huangya Cave.

This is the other half of the 6,000 elite troops of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army who rushed to Huangyadong this time.

The Japanese army originally wanted to use the Huangyadong Arsenal to encircle and send reinforcements, but the Eighth Route Army saw through the trick early in the morning.

With the evolution of the battle situation, due to the continuous desire to enter the Huangya Cave for reinforcements, the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army took turns to attack, and the Japanese army also fell into a bitter battle.

Not only that, but the two sides didn't know how to fight in the confrontation, fighting and fighting, on the battlefield outside the Yellow Cliff Cave, the confrontation between the two sides did not stop.

There were quite a few Eighth Route Army interspersed troops, and they directly detoured back to the logistics base of the 36th Division - Licheng County, as well as near Shimen and HD.

Then they launched an attack on these three cities.

The little devil was completely panicked at this moment, and he was so frightened that Chrysanthemum tightened.

When he made a judgment, he thought that the Eighth Route Army was going to make a move to draw wages and directly destroy the logistics base camp of the 36th Division, Licheng.

In order to completely turn the scales of this battle upside down.

The 36th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Changzhi naturally couldn't sit still, and hurriedly withdrew the remaining troops to reinforce Licheng.

More than 3,000 elites on the outer line of Huangya Cave are also constantly moving in the direction of Licheng.

It's just that the 36th Division made such a move.

The 4th Independent Regiment, which had been waiting for an opportunity in the vicinity of Zhongtiao Mountain, immediately seized the opportunity to launch an attack on some of the security areas under the responsibility of the 36th Division.

"The 36th Division deployed troops to reinforce Licheng, and at this time, Changzhi, including Yuncheng and Linfen, were basically in a state of emptiness.

Comrades, here is our chance to steal our homes!

The old rules, based on guerrilla warfare and sports warfare, took advantage of the fact that the main force of the devils was not many elites, and launched attacks from multiple directions, regardless of priority, so that the little devils did not care about the tail. ”

When the headquarters held the next military operation, Wang Huaibao, the commander of the Fourth Independent Regiment, explained excitedly.

The Fourth Independent Regiment, under the leadership of Wang Huaibao, has been thriving in the Zhongtiao Mountain base area in recent years.

In particular, after the solid transportation channel from the detachment to the Zhongtiao Mountain base area was completely opened, it was basically impossible for the Japanese army to completely smash the Zhongtiao Mountain base area and eliminate the units of the Eighth Route Army in various places, mainly the independent Fourth Regiment.

A few years ago, the Japanese army stationed a field division in Changzhi, Yuncheng, and Linfen.

At that time, the pressure on the base area was still very strong, and Wang Huaibao basically implemented a strategy of secret development.

As the Japanese army gradually weakened over the years, the three field divisions originally stationed in Changzhi, Yuncheng, and Linfen basically left the main force of the 36th Division stationed in Changzhi.

The spring of the Fourth Independent Regiment is naturally coming.

As a temporarily isolated combat regiment, the most important task for the Fourth Independent Regiment is to open up an anti-Japanese revolutionary base area, and in addition, to continuously expand the troops and establish an anti-Japanese revolutionary regime.

In this regard, Wang Huaibao has done quite well.

In less than two years.

The Fourth Independent Regiment gained a firm foothold in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain and opened up an anti-Japanese revolutionary base area.

The whole contingent grew stronger and stronger, and quickly established a trinity of militia, local troops, and then the main force in the local area.

As for who is the main force?

Wang Huaibao smiled, and naturally gave the number of this main force to himself, at least in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain.

His military strategy is clear:

"With the main force of the Taihang base area fighting the Japanese army as the home field, we are playing an auxiliary field here.

As long as a large-scale battle breaks out with the little devils on our mother's side, we will take the opportunity to launch an attack on the devil-occupied areas of Changzhi, Yuncheng, and Linfen to further expand the base area.

If there is no movement on the side of the main force of Taihang, we will not move. ”

In addition, considering the strategic depth of the Zhongtiao Mountain Base Area, which is far inferior to the Taihang Base Area, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War is more complicated, as for the strategy against the enemy, Wang Huaibao even advocated:

It mainly infiltrates, co-opts, buys, and corrupts the security forces of the Japanese puppet army, supplemented by military operations.

In this way, with the opening up of the anti-Japanese revolutionary base in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the growth of the Eighth Route Army led by the Fourth Independent Regiment, the devils and puppet soldiers in southern Jinnan were still panicked at first.

On the side of this couch slept an Eighth Route Army who could kill them at any time, and that feeling was not pleasant.

But within half a year, as the two sides were in secret contact, business was even more exchanged.

Originally, this was a devil and a puppet army dominated by the security army, and the imperialist ideology was not very firm in the first place.

They soon discovered that what the enemy had brought was not necessarily all bad, but could also be money and material things.

As the old saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests......
