The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Okamura has always been a potential gambler, but this time he dared not gamble with his own life.

The propaganda offensive of the Eighth Route Army was very clamorous, and they wanted to attack Beiping directly.

This even led to the lurking anti-Japanese armed forces in many areas occupied by the Japanese army ready to move. The Japanese army had to strengthen the management of public security internally while resisting the surprise attacks of the Eighth Route Army on the outside.

For the safety of his base camp, Gangcun Ningci specially ordered the original division stationed in the area from Shimen to Baoding, which has been in charge of the Ping-Han Railway and Zhengtai Railway, to strengthen vigilance and defense, and never let any Eighth Route pass through the defense zone.

Also ensure the defense of Shimen and Baoding.

The old devil who received the order did not dare to delay.

Right now, the Eighth Route Army suddenly approached Baoding, and the attack was menacing. He had to send the main force of the division to reinforce Baoding and repel the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, Brigadier Chen, who dispatched the armored battalion to fight, had already considered this point.

There were too many factors involved in winning Datong, and in the end the troops spent a lot of manpower, material resources, time and cost to win it successfully.

Such a victory is difficult to replicate in a short period of time
Therefore, the attack on Baoding was just a feint, but it was actually a lot of thunder and little rain.

Mainly to scare little devils.

Who let the city of Datong be broken, and the Eighth Route Army gathered in Licheng, and captured Xinxiang in one fell swoop. The soldiers surrounded Kaifeng and went straight to Zaozhuang, which completely frightened the little devil.

The current image of the Japanese army is quite jittery.

Therefore, the effect of this time's slamming is particularly obvious.

Pushing the pretended main force in the direction of Baoding, the devils were immediately startled, and even attracted most of the main force of the original division of the Japanese army to the Baoding area.

After the Japanese troops gathered, the soldiers turned around and suddenly attacked the Shide line, which is the railway line from Shimen in Jidi to Dezhou in Ludi.

As soon as this railway line was hit, it immediately frightened the little devil.

Fearing that the Eighth Route Army would invade Luxi along the Shide line, the devils hurriedly sent troops back to the Shide line for reinforcements.

But in fact, Brigadier Chen and Commander Lu were not stupid. After Li Yunlong and Kong Jie invaded successively, Lu Xi had already strengthened the defensive strength of the defense line.

Forcibly attacking the past at this time will definitely not be good.

Therefore, the two commanders made a surprise attack on the Shide line, on the one hand, to cover Li Yunlong's operations in Luxi and contain the Japanese troops in Luxi.

On the other hand, it was to lure the original division's troops over, and then set up an ambush on the way, taking the opportunity to deal a wave of ruthlessness to this little devil.

Just a day or two ago...

With the complete end of the Huangyadong defense battle, the 771st and 772nd regiments that originally fought inside Huangyadong, as well as the newly organized 5th and 17th regiments, and the main regiments of the 386 brigades, after receiving supplementary rest, have already Re-enter the battle on all sides.

With the reinforcement of these troops, the combat pressure in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army was greatly reduced.

Audio Triangle Temporary Joint Headquarters.

Ding Wei, who proclaimed himself Ding Wanwan, saw that the Japanese army had all retreated to the counties and towns, and continued to fight in the base areas, so he probably did nothing more.

Right now, in order to achieve new results, the only way is to further expand the battlefield and send troops abroad.

Therefore, after discussing with Zhao Gang, Li Wenjie, and Xu Guoan, Ding Wei, Zhao Gang, Li Wenjie, and Xu Guoan immediately decided to draw a part of the elite troops from the Audio-Technica, and then use the remaining various mechanical vehicles in the base area to temporarily form a mixed mechanical force. Hebei direction reinforcements.

The commander was Shen Quan, head of the Third Independent Regiment.

Before leaving, Ding Wei mobilized all the soldiers, he stood on the high platform and shouted loudly: "Comrades, I'm afraid you don't know yet.

Since this period of time, the Shanxi Eighth Route Army, especially the Taihang Eighth Route Army, especially our Iron Triangle Eighth Route Army, has already made a name for themselves throughout North China, and even the entire Sino-Japanese battlefield.

I heard that there are many devils and second devils in the enemy war zone, but anyone who hears the number of our Iron Triangle will even tremble with fright.

As long as they can be linked to our Iron Triangle, they must be elites.

This time we are fighting across regions and provinces, let alone lose the face of our Iron Triangle. If we want to fight, we must play brilliantly.
Everyone is the most elite fighter of our Iron Triangle, and will be equipped with the most sophisticated equipment. After the cross-regional battle, we must let the brother troops and ordinary people in the Central and Southern Hebei areas take a good look at the strength of our Iron Triangle army.

Okay, I won't say more.

Just one sentence, I will wait in the base area for the news that our comrades have defeated the Japanese invaders and won a complete victory! "

"set off!"

Under Ding Wei's mobilization, the soldiers set off gearing up one by one as if they had been pumped with blood.

Shen Quan is responsible for leading the team.

At this time, in the direction from central Hebei to southern Hebei, Kong Jie and his mechanized combat troops who went south had already penetrated a passage for advancement.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army units in central Hebei and southern Hebei also launched local counterattacks and local sabotage operations against the Japanese army.

The entire central and southern Hebei region has long been in a mess.

Shen Quan led the troops to see the needles, and even went south along the route of his old regiment leader Kong Jie and his party. They had already broken the line of defense of the Japanese army along the way, and then fought in the opposite direction.

In this way, the troops spent more than a day, and after fighting several victories along the way and defeating several Japanese and puppet troops, they rushed to the Jizhong area smoothly.

Sun Zhenguo, the battalion commander of the first battalion of the new regiment, immediately suggested: "Old Shen, news has come from our vanguard that the armored battalion of the 385th Brigade and the comrades from the Jizhong side have opened up a battle with the Devils in the middle of the Shide line. .

Let's take the opportunity to rush over!Maybe he can sneak attack from the devil's back! "

Sun Zhenguo's suggestion is actually very reasonable. At this time, the position of Shen Quan and his troops is quite close to the Shide line.

Shen Quan shook his head slowly, and said: "Old Sun, although our fight all the way went smoothly, there was quite a lot of commotion, do you think the original division will not receive any news?

Once the Japanese army arranges guards in the rear in advance, or even sets up an ambush in advance, we may fall into the enemy's trap if we fight so rashly. "

"This……"

Sun Zhenguo hesitated, this is indeed possible.

"Old Shen, what do you mean?"

Shen Quan pondered for a moment, then suddenly showed a bit of a smirk, and said: "It's better to divide into two groups, make a big fuss along the way, make the noise as loud as possible, and clearly tell the little devils that we will take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from their backs, and join forces Neutralize the armored barracks of the 385th Brigade, attacking front and rear.

The other road is our real main force, advancing in the direction of Baoding and Shimen.

As the old saying goes, soldiers never tire of cheating.

Although the trick of slapping the east and the west has long been used badly, but as long as the time is right, it is still a fresh move, and it will be eaten all over the world! "

What else could Sun Zhenguo say when he came back to his senses?

They all came out of the same trench, no wonder that old Shen became the leader of the third independent regiment in one leap!
After the two agreed on their ideas, they immediately divided into two groups.

A company led by Sun Zhenguo, with the cooperation of local troops, disguised as the main force advancing from the Iron Triangle base, approached the Shide line.

Shen Quan led a special reinforced regiment with nearly 3000 troops, and quickly penetrated in the direction of Shimen and Baoding.

The headquarters of the original division of the Japanese army.

The battle between the main force of the original division and the Eighth Route Army troops in central Jizhong around the Shide line area intensified.

However, news suddenly came out from the direction of Jinan that an Eighth Route Army unit had rushed in from the direction of Shanxi and was moving northward rapidly, approaching the Shide line.

"General, judging from the direction in which the Eighth Route Army is advancing, they seem to be coming from the back of our army!"

"Baga, these damn Eighth Route Army are really rampant!"

The old devil was cursing a few words, but the chief of staff at the side suddenly reminded: "General, this Eighth Route Army came from Shanxi, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, so we must guard against it!"

In this regard, the original deeply agrees.

He then began to yell at the Shanxi First Army for its incompetence.

"If it weren't for these incompetent and stupid guys, how could these eight routes break into our army's defense zone?"

After scolding for a long time, he had no choice but to arrange some guard troops to guard the back side of the defense zone.

The battle between the two sides soon started.

In order to completely paralyze the judgment of the Japanese army, Sun Zhenguo led the troops to launch a rather violent attack on the Japanese defense line.

Under the roar of the artillery, the brains of the little devils who were defending were buzzing.

The devils in Jizhong deeply realized the power of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

The old devil originally secretly rejoiced that he had the foresight to prepare sufficient rear guard forces in advance, so as not to allow this cunning Eighth Route Army to take the opportunity to sneak attack.

At this time, the attention of the Japanese army has basically been attracted to the Jizhong troops in the direction of the Shide line that are fighting with it, and the Eighth Route Army troops that have detoured from Shanxi on the back side.

The two sides are fighting fiercely.

"Report to Your Excellency, Division Commander, Shimen is in an emergency, and has been attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Baoding is in a hurry. The Eighth Route Army is attacking the city, and all the defense lines outside the city have been lost!"

"Nani?"

The old devil was completely stupid, how could this be possible?

The reconnaissance system of the Japanese Empire is not vegetarian either. The Eighth Route Army advancing from Jizhong originally attacked Shimen and Baoding in a fake attack, and then suddenly attacked the Shide line, causing the two sides to entangle in a fierce battle on the Shide line.

If these Eighth Route Army were mobilized, they would definitely not be able to escape the Japanese army's reconnaissance.

So where did the Eighth Route Army that suddenly appeared in Shimen and Baoding come from?

Could it be the Eighth Route from Shanxi?
That's right, it must be the Eighth Route Army. They split into two groups, one to attack the back of his original division, and the other to attack Shimen and Baoding in a detour.

"asshole!"

Zheng Ben began to yell, recalling what happened during this period, the humiliation that spontaneously occurred could not be shaken off.

I think he was guarding the SJZ and Baoding area in his original division, and he guarded it well, and he was even praised by His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.

It was all very beautiful.

Until the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi appeared like a nightmare.

First, the interspersed troops from the Shanxi battlefield attacked HD, and then attacked Shimen.

Then there was trouble on the Eighth Road in Jizhong, and the old devil originally sent troops to sweep it up, but he was beaten again and returned in a disastrous defeat.

The mobile troops he sent to Licheng for reinforcements were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army troops in Shanxi on the way and were almost wiped out.

Then the so-called quick-reaction troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army crossed the border and beat him up again.

At present, the Eighth Route Army troops in central Ji, the Eighth Route Army advancing from Shanxi, are attacking the Shide line again, and raiding Baoding and Shimen again.

Originally, the more I thought about it, the more depressed I became. I am that soft persimmon, can anyone squeeze it?
In addition, after each defeat, the loss is quite heavy.

The Chinese say that banditry is like combing, soldiers are like shavings, and officials are like shaving.

The Eight Routes in Shanxi are even more ruthless. Once the battle is won, the stronghold will be demolished, and even the foundation can be dug for you. They will do everything possible to expand the results of the capture.

It is even more terrifying than the bandit locusts crossing the border.

Originally, he had seen with his own eyes that the warriors of the Hundred and Tenth Empire who had been wiped out were even stripped to nothing but a loincloth.

This even makes Zheng Ben suspect that the reason why the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi can develop so quickly is really related to such a frugal style of saving money and never letting go of every bit of oil and water.

In the direction of Kaifeng, the Yuantian Division was still calling for help every day, saying that the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area was about to break through the city.

But it has been broken for several days, and there is still no movement.

The Gujing division in the southwestern direction of Shandong is also in a hurry every day, saying that Zaozhuang is about to be overwhelmed, and until now, it is still defending well!
Zheng Ben, who had thought through this point, immediately realized that facing such a sturdy Eighth Route Army.

Can't fight, can't he still hide?

He finally understood why these eight roads in Shanxi were able to scurry across the defense zones as if they were in a no-man's land.

"This is clearly because the troops along the defense line did nothing, they were unwilling to pay the price to stop them desperately, and even deliberately dispersed these difficult Eighth Route Army to other defense areas to share the losses equally.

Be damned, these disgraces of the Empire! "

Feeling the resentment of His Excellency, the head of the division, towards those empire moths who are not good at fighting, the chief of staff at the side quickly asked: "General, shall we attack across the board and destroy these eight routes with all our might?"

"Nani?"

Yuan Ben turned his head, glanced at the chief of staff, and scolded: "Idiot, if we light up everything, who will be responsible for the security of the entire Shimen Baoding area? Who will protect the security of the rear headquarters?
Notify all ministries, and immediately retreat across the board... strategically move forward, abandon the line of defense according to the situation, preserve the vitality, and use fortifications, strongholds, and city gates to switch from offense to defense. "

to be honest.

Since you can't beat it, you might as well show it off!

These eight routes came all the way from the First Army's defense area, and the First Army couldn't stop them.

It is reasonable for him to think that his division can't stop these eight routes.

On the side, the devil's chief of staff wisely kept silent...
