The father of the sword is Kong Jie

But anyway, this is a good start for the newly appointed Okabe.

During Okamura's reign, he lost many battles.

As soon as he took office, Okabe successfully took down five cities including Licheng and Xiangyuan.

This is enough for him to brag about it as an excuse to inspire the army.

However, Okamura, who had already abdicated, received photos taken in Licheng sent to him by Okabe, and learned that Licheng, Xiangyuan and other five cities had already become empty cities, and all the people and supplies were brought forward by the Eighth Route Army. Transfer, everywhere in the city is nothing but scarecrows and fortifications in disguise.

Extreme humiliation.

Under the rage, the old devil Okamura's eyes darkened, and he almost passed out on the spot.

……

By August, all the bases of the Eighth Route Army that participated in the May [-]st raids took the time to recuperate, further strengthen the bases, and enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The Japanese army was not idle either, and was supplementing the battle damage.

In addition, according to the preparations of the Laoguizigang Department, after the air force in North China was also supplemented, the Japanese army used Shandong, Jinan, Beiping, Tianjin and other airports as bases to continuously attack the bases of the Eighth Route Army except the Iron Triangle.

Among them, even the base area of ​​the 386th Brigade, which was relatively close to the 385th Brigade, was attacked by the Japanese army. In just one week, the devils successively sent reconnaissance planes, fighter jets, and bombers over the base area, even hundreds of times.

An angry Brigadier Chen scolded the little devil, "Pick the soft persimmon first!"

After a period of time, according to statistics from the headquarters, except for the Iron Triangle base of the Eighth Route Army, the rest of the bases were basically subjected to air raids by the Japanese flying troops to varying degrees.

Commander Wang of the 769th Regiment scolded: "You little devil is just bullying our other bases for their lack of air defense systems and weapons for air-to-air combat.

If they have the ability, they go to the base of Lao Kong to try? "

The air strikes that the Japanese army launched suddenly did cause a lot of trouble to the various bases of the Eighth Route Army.

After the headquarters noticed the intention of the Japanese army, it immediately launched the corresponding deployment.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei were not idle here. They secretly transferred some air defense troops from the base area to nearby base areas to help defend against Japanese air attacks.

Unexpectedly, this little devil is also cunning. Once the flying troops carrying out air strikes encounter the relatively powerful anti-aircraft firepower of the Eighth Route Army base area, they will immediately withdraw and never come again.

Transfer to other Eighth Route Army base areas to continue air strikes.

Anyway, the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army is extensive, and there are countless large and small areas. It is impossible for every base area to have a powerful air defense system and abundant air defense weapons like the Iron Triangle, right?

As a result, the Eighth Route Army was somewhat exhausted.

When the headquarters was analyzing the matter, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei quickly realized the intention of the little devil's move.

Ding Wei said: "The devils are becoming more and more cunning now, and the frontal sweep cannot go on, so they use this method to play tricks.

Old Kong, I think the little devil probably wants to use this to attract a secret aviation unit of yours. The devil still wants to completely destroy the aviation force of our Eighth Route Army! "

Kong Jie nodded: "Yes! The devil's intention is obvious, and now the devil sends flying teams to attack everywhere from time to time, and our base area is too large to defend against it.

If we send the aviation unit and the devil's flying team to fight in the air, maybe we can stop one or two.

But it is still a palliative, not a permanent cure. "

"In addition, I received news that the devils suddenly loosened control in Shandong. In addition, news spread all over the sky, saying that the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army had temporarily ceased fighting to recuperate.

The devils even emphasized that they were short of troops and supplies, so they temporarily stopped their raids.

Not only that, at the junction of our base area and the devil-occupied area, many Japanese and puppet troops have become more active in trading with our various base areas, and even bought our grain, oil, and cotton at high prices, and then sold us tools, sugar, Salt, medicine, daily necessities and other materials.

This phenomenon can be very abnormal.

Prior to this, although the Japanese army was heavily infiltrated by us, they often had some private transactions with us, and we also used this to quickly expand our base and develop our troops.

But during this period of time, when the little devil did this, he even had some blatant intentions. I guess he got orders from his superiors. "

"Old Kong, what do you mean?" Ding Wei asked.

Kong Jie said: "It's hard to say now, but it's obvious that the old devil Okabe has indeed done a lot of things since he came to power.

These days, we heard that the devils began to implement the Baojia system in the public security area, and asked the landlords and gentry to set up village protection teams to assist the Japanese army in governance.

In addition, there are also Japan-China goodwill gatherings in the county, free clinics for the Japanese army, condolences to the countryside, etc., which is a bit like trying to win the hearts of the people.

Okabe, an old devil, is a bit of a playboy, and he actually made a fuss about the Japanese army's pro-people policy and hypocrisy. "

Li Yunlong scolded: "These bastards, little Japan, have never had any good intentions. These guys are like human abscesses. I think they will all be pulled out sooner or later, so that the whole world can live a stable life. Who Do you know when this mad dog came out to bite?"

Kong Jie then laughed, Lao Li's words were not rough, it could be said that he hit the point.

Kong Jie even imagined in his heart that if the pure revolutionary generals such as Lao Li and Lao Ding knew that even after Japan surrendered, Japan would never recognize the history of aggression against China, or even smear and deny the history of aggression against China.

Later, the little devils tried various methods to deal with China, and even polluted the environment wantonly, like a mad dog, pulling people all over the world and them to take risks.

Lao Li and Lao Ding are probably going to claim that even after driving the devil out of China, he still has to completely sink that humble island!
Kong Jie had actually thought about it, why couldn't he develop a weapon that was sufficiently shocking to cause a terrifying tsunami, and simply submerge the Japanese island in one go?
There are many disgusting things in this world.

The most disgusting of them was the islander.

It's really maddening!
"The Japanese invaders will be punished, and the family will be destroyed!"

Such emotions are not limited to today's revolutionary martyrs, and even thousands of Chinese descendants in future generations, but those who have patriotic feelings are also the same as the enemy, and they are filled with righteous indignation.

……

Returning to the topic, Kong Jie studied the map for a long time and suddenly said: "The Japanese have especially relaxed the control in Shandong and deliberately spread the news. They even secretly let the troops do business with us and purchase large amounts of military rations and supplies. .

There must be some conspiracy brewing behind it.

But what exactly does the little devil want to do? "

Ding Wei said: "Our Xinyi regiment got the news through the intelligence line. The Japanese field troops that were originally near Taiyuan in Yangquan seemed to have signs of secret mobilization."

"Where is the direction?" Kong Jie asked.

"It seems to be in the direction of Shandong!"

In meditation, Kong Jie focused his eyes on the map again, concentrated on the Shandong area, and then focused his attention on one of the points.

He quickly discovered what the problem was.

"No, I think the little devil probably feinted at our Jiaodong base!"

Shandong's Jiaodong Peninsula is located in the east of Shandong. It is the largest peninsula in China. It is also an important transportation line and an important supply base for the Japanese army from the sea to North China.

It can even be said to be one of the lifeblood of the Japanese North China Front Army's logistics and troop replenishment.

The military significance of this place is extremely important.

Therefore, as early as after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army with a long-term vision proposed a long-term strategy to open up an anti-Japanese revolutionary base in the Jiaodong Peninsula, and struggled for this goal in the face of difficulties.

In the end, the Jiaodong Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base was successfully opened up.

The existence of this base area is like a sharp thorn stuck in the throat of the Japanese army, and the little devil has long wanted to get rid of it.

In particular, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led two mobile units to make a big fuss in the Luxi and Luzhong areas, and took the opportunity to gain a respite for the development of the Eighth Route Army bases in Shandong.

After the May [-]st raid, the Japanese army returned home in a disastrous defeat, and the bases of the Shandong Eighth Route Army also took the opportunity to develop.

There is also some resource assistance provided by the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area.

The Shandong column is also growing rapidly.

Even the Jiaodong Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base became more and more stable.

Okabe, an old devil, also had a vicious vision. After he took office, he could see at a glance that the North China Front Army was suffering continuous setbacks and the Eighth Route Army troops were growing stronger, which was even enough to threaten the Japanese army's stable public security in North China.

The Jiaodong Peninsula is particularly important for the Japanese army to travel between the sea and the North China Front Army.

So Okabe began to plan to completely eradicate the Eighth Route Army's Jiaodong Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base, and opened up the Jiaodong line of communication from the sea to North China in one fell swoop.

"His grandma, if you don't think about it, you don't know. When you think about it, you will be shocked. Old Kong, you are right. I think this devil really came to our Jiaodong base!"

Li Yunlong also immediately saw the problem.

"The devil is loosening control on the surface, secretly mobilizing troops in an attempt to sneak attack our Jiaodong Peninsula!"

Ding Wei echoed: "The old devil Okabe chose the right time! It happened to be at the time when our troops were training and adjusting, and the air strikes that the devils have been dispatching around these days have attracted our attention.

If we are a little careless, maybe we really fell into the devil's way! "

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan said: "Old Kong, it's not too late, we have to hurry up and report this matter to the headquarters!"

"Okay! In addition, let's make preparations. If the devils attack the Jiaodong base area, how will we help the comrades in the Jiaodong base area!"

The inferences of Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei were quickly transmitted to the headquarters.

The deputy chief of staff and his party are also discussing the crisis that the Jiaodong base may face at any time!
Knowing the analysis of Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, the deputy chief of staff said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has thought about it together. The sneak attack that the little devil thinks he is clever is going to become a joke!"

at this time.

Behind the enemy lines in North China, the confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army was also quietly evolving.

After Naozaburo Okabe, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Front Army, took office, the new official took office three times. With a sense of enthusiasm, he reopened the Zhengtai Line, the Shide Line, the Ping-Han Line, and the Han-Chang Highway, and regained Lucheng in one fell swoop. , Xiangyuan, Licheng, She County, Liao County.

After a series of victories, the old devil Okabe probably felt that he was doing it again.

He personally rushed to the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters, personally urged the troops to reoccupy key points to build defense lines, assisted in the mobilization of troops, replenished supplies, re-expanded the production capacity of Taiyuan Iron and Steel Works, Taiyuan Arsenal, and fully restored combat effectiveness.

He encouraged the Japanese officers, mainly the commander of the First Army stationed in Shanxi Yoshio Iwamatsu: "At the beginning, your First Army was the absolute elite of the North China Front Army, and the entire Shanxi area was created by you to maintain a stable law and order. area, a solid rear.

It wasn't until the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area broke up all this.

But I believe that as long as all the princes work together, the Holy War will be won, and the First Army will surely be able to restore its former glory!
The holy war will be won, and the martial destiny will last forever!Everyone, let’s work hard together! "

The task assigned to Yoshio Iwamatsu by Okabe is also very simple and clear.

There is no need to waste time and effort to mop up the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, but to firmly control the important towns, counties and traffic arteries occupied by the empire, confront the Eighth Route Army, and restrict the further development of the Eighth Route Army.

the other side.

The new commander of the Japanese took office, and the information about his actions was quickly placed in the intelligence center of the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Huangyadong.

After the leaders of the various bases scattered to visit finished their inspections, they rushed to the Huangyadong headquarters to participate in the final meeting of the autumn offensive.

The meeting was presided over by the deputy commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief was only responsible for the opening, and let everyone discuss together.

The commander-in-chief said at the beginning: "We also visited Yan'an for a period of time. You have won many battles in the past two years. The troops are well trained and the supplies are sufficient. We are very happy. I agree to launch a large-scale autumn offensive.

But where and how the fire started, everyone can speak freely without any hesitation, especially the comrades of the 35th Army, they must speak boldly!
Let's brainstorm and come up with the best combat strategy! "

Commander Fu, the representative of the 35th Route Army, said: "My defense area is now far away from the Shanxi front line, but on behalf of the 35th Route Army, I would like to express my full support for the brothers' operations.

The main force of our army will appear in the direction of Guisui, confront the devils in Datong and Zhangjiakou, put pressure on the 26th and 41st divisions of the Japanese army, cooperate with the Northward Detachment, and the Yanbei Detachment to attract the attention of the devils.

Part of the main force assisted the Inner Mongolia Anti-Japanese Guerrillas to transport supplies to Luliang Mountain, supported the 358, 359 brigades and their affiliated troops to cross Luliang Mountain, and attacked the highlands in the west of Taiyuan City. "

At this time, Brigadier Zhang of the 120th Division spoke on behalf of the Luliangshan troops:
"Since the first siege of Taiyuan, we have been preparing to attack Taiyuan again.

After we recaptured Baode County during the May [-]st raid, we opened up lines of communication with the northward detachments in Yan'an and Mengxi. Although we withdrew from the fortifications in the west of Taiyuan City, Gujiao County did not retreat, and the troops regained the northern part of Luliang Mountain. After the county seat, the Jinsui army in the south confronted the devils, and the troops did not retreat.

The attack on Taiyuan City can be launched again at any time! "

Everyone you say, I say, good guy, it turns out that the troops to re-attack Taiyuan City have already been fully prepared.

The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly relaxed.

If Taiyuan City can be conquered in one fell swoop, this can indeed be regarded as a raging fire.

Commander Fu smiled again: "We have rebuilt the defense system in the rear of the Hetao area, carried out industrial and agricultural construction, built many roads, and have special sealed grain transportation vehicles to ensure food transportation.

In addition, the autumn harvest is also ready. Thanks to Ding Wei's pesticides and fertilizers, and Kong Jie's scientific planting, after the autumn harvest, you can all eat the wheat, potatoes, tomatoes, winter melons, and pumpkins I planted, hahaha. "
