In particular, in the past two years, the economy of the occupied areas under the jurisdiction of the entire First Army has been sluggish, the material supply of the troops has been tight, and logistical supply has been difficult.

Even the field elite of the Japanese army has a much lower supply of military supplies than in previous years.

There are even cases where troops do not even have enough to eat.

As a result, the Japanese puppet army security army near Zhongtiao Mountain, through private business dealings with the Eighth Route Army in Zhongtiao Mountain, lived a very nourishing life.

Not only did they ask the logistics headquarters of the First Army for supplies, but they even took the initiative to send some materials to solve urgent needs from time to time.

This has come and gone, even if the relevant investigation departments of the Japanese army are aware of the fact that there must be something wrong with it, but the focus of the current war situation is on the Taihang base area.

As for the Jinnan area, the Japanese army only wanted to stabilize the Eighth Route Army, and simply turned a blind eye.

But the little devil probably doesn't understand.

There is also an old saying in China that the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an anthill.

Once this opening is opened, the qualitative changes caused by the slowly accumulating quantitative changes in the future will be out of control.

Relying on the troops of the Eighth Route Army to live a nourishing life, the security forces of the Japanese puppet army that were slowly corrupted, once the days were long, they coveted comfort and were afraid of death.

How can there be the courage and determination to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army at the beginning.

……

Area of the base area of the 385 Brigade.

The Japanese puppet army units, which were originally dominated by the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, clamored to completely penetrate the base area of the 385th Brigade and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the 385th Brigade.

As a result, with the evolution of the war situation, the Japanese puppet army not only failed to destroy the Eighth Route Army, but was deliberately shown by the 385th Brigade to weaken the enemy and lure the enemy to go deeper, and in turn was besieged in the base area.

In the end, the devil officers, mainly Ishikawa, the commander of the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, even gave up their old faces to ask the headquarters for reinforcements.

In this battle, the 385th Brigade became famous in the first battle and played a great prestige.

With the strength of the 1st Brigade alone, it forcibly dragged most of the main forces of the 3rd, 9th, and 16th Mixed Brigades of the Japanese Army, and in turn set a trap, so that the three major mixed brigades of the Japanese Army were mired in a quagmire and could not move an inch.

At this point in the battle, the Japanese army did not care about any face, and only thought about quickly withdrawing its troops to the stable security area and reducing the losses and casualties in the battle.

And so it wasn't long after.

The commander of the devil, Yoshio Shinozuka, issued the supreme military order of the First Army, ordering all departments to immediately and orderly evacuate to the nearest county seat.

If you can't win, can't you withdraw?

The actual situation is that it is indeed not so easy for the little devil to withdraw.

In recent years, it has grown rapidly in secret, especially after the rise of a detachment, which has led to the dual economic and military development of the surrounding Eighth Route Army combat regiments.

brought quite exaggerated changes to the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

One of the qualitative changes caused by quantitative changes is precisely the equipment situation in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

If the previous Eighth Route Army was a three-gun and eight-way army, even the main force could not have a lasting head-to-head confrontation at all.

Today's Eighth Route Army troops, especially the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Base Area, and the 386th Brigade and 385th Brigade are the main combat units of the Eighth Route Army.

In terms of overall equipment, although it is still inferior to the Japanese army, it is completely close to the level of the national army.

As for individual combat regiments, such as the first detachment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment, in terms of the firepower allocation of the main elite forces, they even surpass the Japanese army's teams of the same establishment.

…… 385 Brigade Command.

Perceiving the signs of the Japanese retreat, Brigade Commander Chen did not hesitate to give the order:

"Fight, the opportunity to beat the water dog is here, the little devil wants to run, how can it be so easy, our base, since this devil is here, if he doesn't die, he has to peel off the skin!"

"Hand the news out immediately, the devil is going to run away, block the little devil's evacuation route layer by layer, our main force eats meat, we have to let the local troops drink some soup too!"

As a result, the whole process of the retreat of the Japanese puppet army was more like a feast of eating meat and drinking soup with the main force of the Eighth Route Army and local troops.

Among them, the main combat forces undertake the main combat mission of frontal pursuit.

Try to gradually divide and break up the fleeing Japanese troops.

And once the team of the little devils is dispersed, even if it is elite, in the case of limited troops.

Even the local army units of the Eighth Route Army can go up and nibble on a few bites.

In particular, in teams like the first regiment and the new second regiment, the surrounding local army units often follow the main force to drink soup and eat meat, and the level of equipment has also developed a lot, even compared with the main combat units of the Eighth Route Army in previous years.

The little devils who retreated all the way complained bitterly.

The orderly retreat even gradually showed a tendency to rout.

Originally, if it was only the Eighth Route Army of the 385th Brigade, and there were nearby local troops entangled, with the strength of the three major mixed brigades of the Japanese army, under the unified command of the old devil Ishikawa, it would not be able to do it calmly.

At the very least, it can be withdrawn from the big mud mass of the 385th Brigade base area, and most of its strength can be preserved, so that it will not lose too ugly.

Who knew that the troops stationed in Mongolia who went south to reinforce were really useless.

A whole full infantry wing, plus two cavalry wings, failed to deal with the iron triangle of the 386 brigade.

On the contrary, the reinforcements of the Iron Triangle detoured back to the rear of the 385th Brigade base area, and attacked the 3rd, 9th, and 16th mixed brigades from behind.

As a result, the troops of the Eighth Route Army of the 386th Brigade and the reinforcements of the Iron Triangle attacked from both sides, which completely stunned the Japanese puppet army.

After several battles, the old devil Ishikawa raised his eyes and looked around, only to find that only the main force of his 3rd Mixed Brigade withdrew with him.

The ninth and the 16th mixed brigade were divided into other areas by the Eighth Route Army.

The battle has reached this point, and Ishikawa can't care so much.

Dead poor monks do not die poor roads.

He led the main force of his brigade and tried to break through and evacuate all the way.

In addition, in the battle in the direction of Baode County, he also heard the news that the Suzuki Wing of the Mongolian Army was almost wiped out in one fell swoop by the Eighth Route Army in the northern Jin Dynasty in the Xiaonancun area.

As for the West Field United, although they lost Baode under the large-scale attack of the Eighth Route Army, they heard that the main force was basically withdrawn.

Now it's time to die, when they were at the Imperial Army University, the old devils Ishikawa and Nishino were quite good brothers.

At present, the junior and younger brothers have completely withdrawn from the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, and this eighty percent has some experience.

Ishikawa immediately exerted the spirit of not being ashamed to ask questions.

Contact the headquarters of the Upper Nishino United and ask Nishino Dazuo for evacuation experience.

After the end of the newsletter.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ishikawa contacted the brigade headquarters of the 9th and 16th Mixed Brigades respectively and recounted all the scriptures he had obtained on how to evacuate.

Thereupon......

The little devils of the three Japanese brigades that were evacuating in a hurry quickly moved.

In order to escape, the Japanese army divided the wounded soldiers and baggage soldiers of the three brigades into nearly 100 groups, and exchanged the damaged light and heavy machine guns with the parts of the light and heavy machine guns that could not be taken away, so that these machine guns were basically completely reimbursed.

Then they were buried in the pits on the battlefield and on the side of the road, especially the firing pins and hammers, which were thrown in other places with the rifles.

They also dismantled all the shell fuses and threw them far away on the side of the road to mix them with eggshells, and the shells were also mixed together of various types and buried in different places.

The cannons that could not be taken away were half-buried on the road with cannon shields to block the way, and the parts were dismantled and buried elsewhere.

All kinds of bullets are buried everywhere with eggshells.

The mines were planted as they retreated, but the fuses were also dismantled and thrown randomly into roadside pits.

The devil took advantage of the sudden action in the evening, and there were broken back groups sent out in all directions, and when they saw the Eighth Road coming, they fired a few shots first, and then shouted with a loudspeaker, to see the person in charge, to surrender.

Then pretended to say that there was an important intelligence report, and after a while, he took the eight roads to dig up treasures, and there were all kinds of messy things.

Among the troops of the 385th Brigade, the most fierce, and the fastest in pursuit was Commander Wang's troops.

After all, this is a Mengren who is known as the king of madness.

He's not easy to deal with, he's easy to fool, the little devil escapes a little slower, and he can catch it with his troops and take a few bites.

At the very least, it takes the corpse of the No. 100 little devil to stop.

As a result, Lao Wang chased after him, and ran into the delaying troops deliberately left by those devils.

As soon as he beckoned to the soldiers, he took out the guys, and was about to take down these little devils in one fell swoop, but who knew that the devils on the opposite side raised the white flag silently.

One by one, they obediently threw all their weapons and ammunition on the ground, shouting surrender.

Then another puppet army said that there was an important intelligence report, saying that it was buried along the way, and that there were arms and equipment that the Japanese army did not have time to take away, and that there were all kinds of treasures.

As soon as Lao Wang heard that there were still heavy weapons, and after surrendering the weapons of the surrendered Japanese puppet army, he said that he would go and have a look.

Halfway the devil said that there was a minefield, and the soldiers carefully cleared the mines, but found that they were all mines without fuses, and finally dug the material pit, and saw that it was full of bullets, and then there was a pile of eggshells, and all kinds of bullets were mixed together.

Again, the heavy machine guns and small-caliber rapid-fire guns found were all useless.

The group of devils I met in one night was full of pits!

！

Lao Wang wanted to get angry angrily, this little devil raised by a son of a bitch, this is still in the sky, these fancy intestines, I don't know who to learn from.

But the devils and puppet soldiers who surrendered were also honest, saying that they needed humanitarian aid, food, and treatment.

Looking at the wounded soldiers of the devils, some of them saw that there was more qi in and less qi out, maybe they wouldn't be able to do it soon.

The Eighth Route Army's tradition of preferential treatment of prisoners naturally cannot be lost.

Moreover, these devils and puppet soldiers also honestly chose to surrender and cooperate.

For a while, Head Wang was also full of anger, but there was no place to sprinkle it.

Knowing that this was a scoundrel's escape method, he had no choice but to arrange for the troops to first receive the wounded soldiers of these surrendered devils and puppet soldiers and bring them back to the base area for treatment.

That's not all.

Ishikawa and the old devils of the other two brigades also asked officers at all levels to take out all their rank and collar badges and exchange them with some wounded soldiers.

Every time they encountered an attack, they were asked to leave a group behind, and after they met the Eighth Road, the wounded soldiers who had changed their ranks said that they were officers, that they should be treated fairly, and that they would see the leaders of the troops before surrendering.

Overnight, Regiment Commander Wang pursued with the besieging troops and caught a bunch of big fish, seven or eight in Dazuo alone.

This made Lao Wang very happy, and he thought in his heart, this is probably not much worse than Lao Li's battlefield observation group that defeated the devil.

As a result, the next day's interrogation, Bai was happy, and his feelings were all the ideas of the devil officers, and these were just the big soldiers at the bottom.

This can make Lao Wang angry enough and angry.

Commander Wang, where have they seen this meeting, it is a weapon, and it is a surrender.

That's it, in the end, the little devil actually used some wounded soldiers with fake military ranks and blown up guns, ammunition and other rags.

was stunned to contain the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, and the old devil Ishikawa and others successfully escaped with a considerable part of the main force.

Later at the post-war military summary meeting.

The commander-in-chief also couldn't stop laughing when he learned about this, laughing and scolding Commander Wang for being a rag king who specializes in picking up rags.

Captain Wang, who is known as a madman, said helplessly:

"Ishikawa, this old devil is really a fucking escape expert, if this old boy really wants to escape, all kinds of tricks are all kinds of tricks, more slippery than a loach, it's really hard to catch him!"

I have to say that after this old Ishikawa devil learned the scriptures from Nishino, he not only mastered the essence of escape, but also went to the next level, which is really quite remarkable.

……

And Ishikawa, an old devil, runs fast, and the 11th Wing of the Mongolian army stationed in the south and the two cavalry wings don't have this ability.

Especially after the rapid withdrawal of the three Japanese brigades that pinned down the 385th Brigade and the Imperial Allied Army that assisted in the battle.

The 385th Brigade, as well as the soldiers of the Iron Triangle, saw that there was a big fish in the water, and they were already full of fire, so they naturally turned the front of the troops and sprinkled all the fire on the heads of the troops stationed in Mongolia.

This time, it was no longer a two-sided attack, but a direct and rapid detour of the troops from all directions, forming a large river encirclement.

Even the two cavalry wings of the devil had to completely break all the horse's legs for him.

Eat it in one go!

Naturally, the First Army could not watch the elite of the Mongolian garrison who went south to reinforce it, so it was planted here, and hurriedly sent flight troops to reinforce it to assist the 21st Wing of the Mongolian Army in evacuating.

The little devil once again showed the biggest advantage in this battle against the Eighth Route Army - the advantage of aerial firepower.

It's just that the flying unit of the devils has not been able to run rampant for long.

It's day and night.

Taking advantage of the constant changes in the situation on the battlefield, the defense of the airfield temporarily built by the devils in Li Cheng finally showed some flaws.

Duan Peng, the commando captain who has been disappearing from the battlefield of this Sino-Japanese confrontation, and the other half of the commandos, what do you think they are doing?

After nightfall, the team members infiltrated the devil's airport like a ghost, and then used the time bombs secretly planted to bomb all kinds of advanced fighters and bombers parked in the devil's airport, including the temporary reserve of fuel depots and ammunition depots.

】

Next.

Upon hearing the news of the destruction of the temporary airfield in Laicheng, Yoshio Shinozuka sat down in his seat, dizzy for a long time, unable to return to his senses.

This time, he had planned for a long time against the main force of the Eighth Route Army and the Huangyadong Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, but there was no possibility of reversal so far, and it ended in a fiasco.

He was already preparing in his heart what kind of punishment he would be punished after this battle was over.

As for the position of the Supreme Commander of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, it is time to give up to those who are more capable and able to deal with these latecomers of the Eighth Route Army than him.

But is there really such a latecomer?

I hope so......

Yoshio Shinozuka could only comfort himself so secretly.
