This good thing doesn't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

The old devil Yamada suffered a defeat in Julu County, and the news of a black opening somehow spread widely.

The devil officers of the North China Front, who had been paying attention to the situation in North China and were especially concerned about the situation in North China, were ridiculed by the Kwantung Army that went south to reinforce them.

What the flower of the imperial army, the elite of the Kwantung Army, is nothing more than that.

Aren't you still being hung and beaten by the Eighth Route Army?

How can anyone have the face to laugh at our North China Front?

The Eighth Route Army and the Jizhong Military Region then made a big propaganda campaign.

Especially outside Julu County, in the encounter between the two sides, the white-knuckle battle at the nameless slope clashed.

A company of the Eighth Route Army played against a squadron of devils, and the strength of the two sides was basically 1 to 1, and it was a hard-to-face, face-to-face white-knuckle battle.

As a result, nearly 200 little devils were hacked to death, and more than 100 people were hacked to death, and the remaining 50 or 60 little devils dragged their injured bodies and were so frightened that they fled in the wilderness.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army only lost seven or eight people, and more than ten others were wounded.

The casualty ratio was nearly 1 to 15.

This is quite rare and astonishing in the entire history of white-knuckle warfare in the Sino-Japanese battlefield.

In this battle, the officers and men of the Eighth Route Army completely showed their self-confidence.

Even if the devil is proud of the stabbing field, it is still not the opponent of our Eighth Route Army, is there anything to be afraid of these little devils raised by bitches?

Although the battle was small, the impact was significant.

Even Umezu Mijiro, the commander of the devil who was in charge of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, was furious when he heard about the battle, and rebuked Yamada in a telegram, strictly ordering Yamada not to attack rashly again without the order of the headquarters.

So who is the commander of the 26th Regiment of the Jizhong Military Region who commanded the team to almost wipe out the devil Asayama Brigade and bloodied the devil Kwantung Army squadron with a battle loss ratio of 1 to 15 in the white-knuckle battle?

- but said that the regiment leader's surname is Hao, his name is Hao Ren, and he is called Hao Regimental Commander.

was originally a military cadre of the Iron Triangle Group Army, and was originally a tiger general under Li Yunlong, and was later transferred to Jizhong and became the commander of the 26th Regiment.

Before leaving, Li Yunlong patted Hao Ren's shoulder and asked: "If you don't say anything else, just rush at your boy's name, you can't be wrong, work hard in Jizhong, don't lose the face of our Iron Triangle!" ”

Today, the Iron Triangle Group Army is not only the representative of the elite of the Eighth Route Army, but also the benchmark of the ceiling of combat effectiveness.

It is also a recognized talent gathering place for all departments of the Eighth Route Army.

That casual military cadre of the Iron Triangle Group Army, even if it is a company commander or even a platoon commander, his military quality is hard and terrifying.

It doesn't matter if you talk about the tactical field, the campaign field, or even the strategic field, people can talk to you and talk about it.

Not to mention the actual combat ability.

How much did it go later?

However, all the commanders who served as military cadres in the Iron Triangle Group Army were like being plated with a layer of gold, and the gold content was extremely high, and they were recognized by various base areas.

Therefore, the military cadres of the Iron Triangle Group Army are in other base areas, and the units are simply sought-after.

Once they are transferred from the Iron Triangle Group Army to other units to serve as cadres, they can at least jump one level in the command rank, and even jump three levels in an exaggerated way.

For example, Hao Ren was a battalion commander of Li Yunlong's troops before that.

And this time around the battle of Julu County, Hao Ren used his actual actions and excellent achievements to once again prove that the golden signboard of the Iron Triangle Group Army is really not blown.

When I returned to the command to make a battle summary report.

Hao Ren said: "The fact that this white-knuckle battle was able to achieve such great results once again shows that the teaching aids, teaching materials, and training manuals I brought from the Iron Triangle Group Army at the beginning have worked very well.

With this systematic training model, the trained soldiers are absolutely excellent in their skills in stabbing. ”

The command of the military region also immediately called on the troops of the entire military region to learn from the 26 regiment.

In addition, in the training of bayonet fighting, it is necessary to learn from the experience of the 26th regiment.

……

Stone Gate.

Lieutenant General Yamada, who used to always hold his head high and was full of pride, is now much more humble.

When Asayama Osa led the remnants of the army to flee back to Shimen, Yamada was furious, especially when he heard that the Kwantung Army's proud white-knuckle battle had lost so completely, and immediately angrily scolded Asayama for not sitting on a woman's belly every day and forgetting to train the troops.

Asayama Dasa, that wronged!

He never dared to fall behind in the bayonet training of the troops, and the standards in all aspects were strictly in accordance with the norms of the infantry drill code.

How can it be said that he is slack and lazy?

It's clear that these eight roads are too powerful.

In that tragic white-knuckle battle, a devil second lieutenant who survived by luck once recalled in a face full of fear:

"The strength of the enemy's arms is astonishing, and the bayonets they stab, the machetes they slash down, are fast, accurate, and ruthless, and their moves are deadly, all for the sake of the point.

Moreover, their stabbing tactics are very flexible and pay attention to coordination, which seems to be similar to our army's stabbing tactics, but they suppress our army's tactics everywhere. ”

Yamada was silent, he seemed to really feel the strength of the Eighth Route Army in North China, and it seemed that he suddenly understood why Mamoru Iinuma chose to shrink his forces and close the city.

And the operation of Yamada's division this time was more like a test of the Kwantung Army in the south against the Eighth Route Army in North China.

As for the results of the temptation!

Failed miserably.

Umezu Yoshijiro specially ordered that the reinforcements going south should fight in accordance with the deployment of His Excellency Okamura, the commander-in-chief, and mainly cooperate with the Chinese dispatch army.

This old devil can see that the Eighth Route in North China is indeed difficult to deal with, especially for the Kwantung Army, which is relatively unfamiliar with the tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

It's better to hand over the Eighth Route to the dispatch army, there is no need for the Kwantung Army to increase casualties.

After all, against the Eighth Route Army, this is the task of the dispatch army.

And Okamura has not restrained the Kwantung Army much, and naturally has its own little abacus, only by letting these arrogant Kwantung Army really taste the power of the Eighth Route Army and endure hardships, will they honestly cooperate with their battle plan.

……

On one side is the door opener.

On the other side, the Japanese army's sweeping operation from the front of Dezhou to Taocheng was very smooth, and the first company advanced dozens of kilometers forward, but it was blocked by some small units of the Eighth Route Army, and did not encounter the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

The head of the devil's secret service agency, Tu Feiyuan, was proud, thinking that the information given by the chief of the criminal section (a confidential section chief of the Eighth Route who defected to the enemy and brought intelligence to the Japanese army, saying that the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Military Region was empty, and the main forces in eastern Hebei were basically transferred to the south to fight) The information given by the Eighth Route Army was indeed true, and the main force in this direction of the Eighth Route Army was transferred to other places.

Immediately, Shimomura, the division commander of the main division of the Kwantung Army, who was fighting in this direction, proposed to Tanaka to hold a grand press conference and invited Commander Tsuchihashi and Commander Okabe to attend.

The multi-party plan for advancing the operation in the direction of eastern Hebei.

Okamura, the old devil, also expressed his support for this battle plan.

After the comprehensive analysis of the intelligence of all parties, he actually had doubts in his heart, and it stands to reason that since the Eighth Route Army was preparing to attack in the south and defend in the north, it would launch a major counteroffensive in North China with the help of the Mengdong defense line.

The movement shouldn't be so small.

Although the offensive launched by all sides in North China seemed to be huge, it was mainly a sabotage operation against some of the communication lines of the devils, which was not in line with the Eighth Route Army's battle to recover North China.

The blow is good, Operation Storm in August, but where is the storm?

Could it be that the Eighth Route is deliberately showing weakness to the enemy?

This can't help but make Okamura wonder if he missed something, and if Hachiro is plotting some conspiracy again.

The battle on the eastern defense line of Kemeng was over.

The Eighth Route originally prepared to advance in the direction of Zhangjiakou and Beiping also failed due to the defection of the confidential section chief.

So here's the problem.

Where have all the main forces of the Eighth Road gone?

You can't all sleep in the base, can you?

Therefore, this offensive to the eastern Hebei region is also an intentional test by Okamura, who wants to try the reality of these core base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

In a base area of the Eighth Route Army as strong as the Taihang Military Region, Okamura did not dare to do it for the time being.

Then test the water in Jidong first, this is always okay, right?

In addition, coupled with the intelligence of Section Chief Xing, who surrendered to Cheng, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei seems to have been transferred to other areas to fight.

At present, there is a battle in which the divisions of the Kwantung Army and the First Army of the Devils and other aspects of the North China Front are advancing to the eastern Hebei region.

It's interesting to say, the defection of the criminal section chief of the Eighth Route Army is not nervous, but the commander of the Devil's Twelfth Army Tsuchihashi and Tanaka, Hayashi Taro, and the commanders of the 52nd and 59th divisions of the Japanese army are worried.

Why?

I'm afraid that their business of secretly smuggling materials and even arms to the Eighth Route Army will be exposed!

For this reason, the old devil Tanaka instructed his military police commander to contact the Jizhong Command of the Eighth Route Army through alternate channels, and the chief of the intelligence section told Tanaka and the others not to act rashly under the arrangement of Commander Lu.

Okamura called offense and offense, and defense called defense, and the transaction between the two sides was temporarily suspended.

The Kwantung Army's Shimomura Division will give whatever it wants, in short, it will do its best to cooperate, once it crosses the defense area, pay attention to it, the Eighth Route Army will turn on signal lights when attacking, if you find a batch of red signal lights launched on the battlefield, your Tanaka troops will immediately evacuate, and at the same time, all the stronghold warehouses used for trading will be blown up at this time.

There is no proof of death directly!

For this series of plans of the Eighth Route Army, Tanaka secretly praised himself.

Now he has the bottom in his heart, even if this Kwantung Army really wants to deal with the Eighth Route in the base area, at least his team will not be injured Chiyu.

Pity these old devils of the Kwantung Army, Baba went south to reinforce them, and as a result, the officers of the local North China Front Army had already been infiltrated by the Eighth Route Army.

Including his plan for how to launch an operation against the eastern Hebei region, the troops have not yet set off, and the specific deployment of troops and firepower allocation have been transmitted to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army along with the business chain.

Commander Lu, who was sitting in the Jizhong Headquarters, said with a smile: "I now understand why the Central Army was able to defeat so badly in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, and before the battle started, the battle plan of your Central Army has already been placed in the headquarters of the devil, how can this be fought?"

Now it's feng shui in turn, and it's the turn of the little devil.

No matter how elite this devil's Kwantung Army is, as long as he mixes with a bastard like Tanaka, it will be hellish if he can win the battle. ”

Then the command is given directly:

"Hit! Pull out a few left-behind field brigades, as well as the newly built mechanized armored detachment and mechanized field heavy artillery detachment, and set up an ambush in the Taocheng area, and directly cripple this daring Kwantung Army Shimomura Division to me! ”

"I have to convince Okamura that our Jizhong Military Region is not empty of troops, but the main force has pulled back and deliberately set a trap to deal with his little devil."

Seven days.

After the Japanese puppet army, which was dominated by the Shimomura Division of the Kwantung Army, the logistics preparations were quickly prepared and the combat ammunition was distributed in place.

The advance operation against the eastern Hebei region of the Eighth Route Army immediately began.

Lieutenant General Shimomura, who personally led the team, was full of confidence, and he had already received news a few days ago that the Asayama Brigade sent by the Yamada Division to try to fight against Julu County was almost completely annihilated.

An elite combat company of the Eighth Route Army even inflicted heavy losses on a squadron of the Kwantung Army in white-knuckle combat.

This was no small shame for the Kwantung Army, which went south.

In a telegram a few days ago, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, was even more furious about this.

This time, Shimomura patted his chest and promised Umezu Mijiro:

It will definitely hit the Eight Roads hard to avenge the revenge of the giant deer!

As for the First Army of the Devils, some of the auxiliary combat units of the Twelfth Army, including Tanaka, who personally led the team to fight, Shimomura actually looked down on him.

In his opinion, these guys are too cowardly, they are simply a disgrace to the Empire, and they are not even worthy of being Imperial officers.

One by one, they were terrified of those damn eight roads.

Including this advance operation, Officer Tanaka pushed back and said, saying that no one dared to fight the vanguard.

In the end, in order to demonstrate the military prestige of the Kwantung Army, Shimomura waved his hand, saying that the operation would be based on his Shimomura division, and as for the troops of the First Army and the Twelfth Army, they would assist in the operation and help with the transportation of logistics.

"After all, you are only a security force force, and it is too difficult for you to fight against the main force of the Eighth Road!"

Shimomura said contemptuously.

Tanaka and the others naturally did not get angry, but boasted that General Shimomura was wise and powerful, and this battle was sure to be like a bamboo, and he could wipe out the Eight Roads in one fell swoop.

- It's better to lose face than to lose your life.

When the Kwantung Army's Shimomura Division advanced to the eastern Hebei region, Tanaka did quite well the work of the Kwantung Army's logistical needs.

Until the confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the Kwantung Army in the eastern Hebei region officially began.

There was a dozen red signal lights on the side of the ambush units of the Eighth Route Army.

The officers of the Kwantung Army, who saw the situation, were still wondering, thinking that this was some special signal within the Eighth Route Army!

As a result, the first army of this devil, the assisting troops of the twelfth army, especially the team led by Tanaka this time, only under the tentative attack of the Eighth Route Army, directly abandoned the fortifications, abandoned the Shimomura division, and provoked it in advance.

What comrades-in-arms are not comrades-in-arms, it is important to save their lives, and they should be sold!

Externally, it was claimed that the Eighth Route Army was attacking fiercely, and it was difficult for our troops to resist, so they had to be forced to make a strategic transfer.

It's really a one-touch collapse!

This led to the defense of some of the flanks that Tanaka's troops were originally responsible for, as well as the defense of the rear flanks, and the direct force was empty, and the empty doors were opened.

The mechanized combat units of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei took the opportunity to weave around the gap.

When the frontline confrontation is in full swing.

The old devil who sat in the command headquarters of the army suddenly received a message:

The flank defense line on both sides and the back defense line were successively broken by the circuitous mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the baggage troops of the rear army were raided by the interspersed troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The lines of communication that the army had originally advanced all the way had also been controlled by the Eighth Route Army, which had detoured to the rear.

The battle has not yet entered the white heat, and the back road is cut off!

Shimomura was dumbfounded on the spot, scolded angrily, and asked what Tanaka was doing on both sides of the flanks to assist in the defense.

The response was:

disappeared, and after Tanaka was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, he quickly chose to evacuate and disappeared without a trace!

After the Ministry of Communications finally contacted the Uedanaka Command, the old devil Tanaka said in the communication that he was being pursued by the main force of the Eighth Route Army and could not meet with the main force of the Shimomura Division.

Shimomura: "......"
