On February 18, 1941, Qijiang County, the headquarters of the 68th Division was provisionally organized

"Damn, let this white dog be in the limelight, I'm really unwilling!" Li Yunlong angrily threw a copy of the Central Daily on the ground, the front page of the newspaper was a large photo of General Zhang Zhonglin being interviewed in the hospital, although he was slightly embarrassed by bandages, but General Zhang's handsomeness could not be concealed, and now, this has replaced Li Yunlong and become the darling of major newspapers, which makes Lao Li somewhat unconvinced,

Gain's plan to use paratroopers to raid Hankow was proposed by him, and the gliders for operational use were also purchased by him from the Air Marshal through his personal connections. It was only after the plan was reported to the Southern Bureau that Comrade Hu Bicheng resolutely did not allow him to personally lead the team to carry out the operation, which made Zhang Zhonglin's guy cheaper, and what was even more infuriating was that for the sake of the secrecy of the operation, the commandos of the 58th Division were all trained in Qijiang County, and the entire operation was only known to Minister Chen and the highest authorities.

"Come on, Lao Li, you are now an inspector of the Second World War Zone Command with the rank of general, your superiors will definitely not let you take risks, isn't it good now, the devil has suffered a huge blow, 10,000 enemies have been annihilated, 3,000 prisoners, the destruction of facilities is not counted, and even the commander of the 11th Army has been captured." Deputy division commander Ding Wei pouted on the side, didn't he have a chance to be in the limelight.

"In the face of the sixth division withdrawing in disgrace, it is a shame, it is a shame to the face of the Chinese soldiers, that is the sixth division, it is the sixth division that must be annihilated, if we let Lao Li encounter it, even if we can't kill him, we must beat him out of his mouth!" Li Yunlong shouted very unwillingly, "Li Yunlong's works" "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Rabe's Diary" are currently being screened, and Lao Li can be said to hate this Sixth Division to the core, and a big reason for coming up with a plan to raid Wuhan is also to get this Sixth Division.

"Lao Li, you can get it, that's Wuhan, it's our own city, and the people are also our own, not to mention whether Zhang Zhonglin's little people can beat the Sixth Division, even if they can beat it, they will also destroy the city, there are hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties, and the property damage can't be counted, is it worth it? For the sake of a herd of beasts, is it worth it? Ding Wei refuted, asking himself, if he were himself, he would definitely choose to retreat, there would always be a chance to destroy the Sixth Division, anyway, these little devils would not hide in the city all the time and not come out.

"I can't get the Sixth Division this time, and there will be no next time, but I heard that the Ninth Theater has issued a strict order not to accept prisoners of the Sixth Division, and to give heavy rewards to the officers and soldiers who killed the Sixth Division." Kong Jie put down his cigar on the side, and said with a look of enjoyment, he is finally used to this foreign devil's thing, don't you say, the taste is much more comfortable than the dry tobacco pouch.

"Anyway, if we change it, we will definitely fight better than them, with tanks and tL37 combat passenger cars, as well as fleet and air force cover, and instead of going straight into the Guishan Fortress, we crashed headlong into the city, which is a failure in itself!" Li Yunlong scoffed at the words of the two, according to his idea, it was wise to take advantage of the emptiness of the Japanese army's defense, go straight to Guishan, and use the perfect fortification system there to confront the devils.

"Lao Li, you are also hindsight, I have studied the map, the distance between Hankou Middle School and Guishan is too far, there are too many uncontrollable factors at night, it is not worth the risk, besides, the highest authorities are still there to supervise the war, where is Zhang Zhonglin to fight how he wants?" Ding Wei smiled bitterly, the devil's intelligence that only one detachment (squad) on Turtle Mountain was transmitted back after the fact, on the day of the attack, no one knew that Turtle Mountain would be empty like this, but no normal person dared to bet.

"If you want to say that our Eighth Route Army is powerful, attacking Jinmen, seizing Baocheng, sending tank troops across the grassland, and driving the devils back to Rehe in one go, what could be more uplifting than this?" Kong Jie said with a smile.

When the Yamashiro government's counteroffensive was about to stop and the devils thought they were going to carry it over, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in North China made a decisive move, concentrating nearly 200,000 troops, 300 heavy artillery, 200 armored vehicles and nearly 50 aircraft to besiege Jinmen, and made a posture to take Jinmen in one fell swoop, forcing General Yoshio Shinozuka to concentrate his mobile corps on Jinmen.

In order to maintain the situation in the south, the Huaxia fleet transferred almost all the fleets away, and there were not many air forces stationed near Jinmen, so it can be said that the Japanese army had no advantage at all in front of the Eighth Route Army, and it was only a matter of time before the Eighth Route Army took Jinmen.

After the devil's army entered Jinmen in the east, the Eighth Route Army came out in another aspect, seizing the important town of Baocheng in Hebei Province in one fell swoop, and then went north with a heavy army group, shouting the slogan of two dozen Beiping, and the troops of the Second War Zone and the Sulu Theater that cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to seize Beiping were also frequently mobilized.

Yoshio Shinozuka had no choice but to operate and block the Eighth Route Army, but after he mobilized the elite of the Mongolian army, the Eighth Route Army in Jin Province suddenly moved, and the 129th Division mobilized twelve infantry regiments, two cavalry brigades and one armored brigade to enter Suiyuan, and cooperated with the Jin Sui Army General Fu to begin to expel the Japanese puppet army troops in the Suiyuan area, and the troops stationed in Mongolia were not many after the Battle of Nomenkan, and now the main force was withdrawn again, and the remaining troops could not stop the elite corps of the Eighth Route Army at all, In just a few days, the Japanese puppet army was driven back to Rehe, and it was not until the city of Chengde that it was able to stabilize the defensive line.

Suiyuan and Rehe may not seem to be so rich in the impression, but they are very important in the hands of the devils, because these two provinces can provide hundreds of tons of opium and dozens of tons of white powder every year, and together with the mines and farms controlled by Japanese companies, they can provide the army with no less financial resources every year than those in the hinterland of North China.

Don't look at the hinterland of North China, the place is big, and it is also very rich, but there are also many anti-heat forces in that place, and the Eighth Route Army and other anti-heat forces in that place are also able to maintain the balance of payments every year, and they burn high incense, and most of the time they lose money, and they don't have to rely on Suiyuan and Rehe to make up for it, but now it's okay, the mobile corps of the Eighth Route Army crisscrossed the two provinces, destroyed a large number of opium fields and mines, and made the other party's financial resources greatly reduced in an instant.

But the problem is that Yoshio Shinozuka really doesn't have the strength to fight back, although the heavy army group of the Eighth Route Army that attacked Beiping and Jinmen has retreated, but then it launched a sabotage battle in the entire North China region, nailing the devil's troops to the death.
