Chapter 276 The restless Japanese and the humiliating Eighth Division
Ren Zhong was not afraid that the Japanese would not move. If the Japanese did not make any move next, he would first open up the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan channel, completely open up the road to Shandong, and then fire rockets at the Japanese every now and then.

I don't believe the Japanese can hold back.

Although the new generation of rockets with a range of 1200 kilometers has not yet been released, increasing the dose and achieving a range of 1000 kilometers at the expense of a little accuracy is not a big problem for area-kill weapons such as fuel-air bombs.

However, Ren Zhong was not allowed to use his ultimate rocket move, and the Japanese military planned a new Operation Zero under Tian Huang's strict order!

According to this new plan, the Kwantung Army began to implement a general mobilization in the Northeast, and the Japanese soldiers stationed in South Korea were also under the command of the Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief, ready to go north to assist in defense at any time when the Big Bear moved. In this way, the 25 retired Japanese soldiers in the Northeast were re-recruited and organized into 8 divisions, 7 mixed brigades, 1 tank corps and 5 artillery regiments to supplement the temporarily deployed troops. After this wave of rapid recovery and replenishment, the total strength of the Japanese Kwantung Army reached 31 divisions and 13 independent mixed brigades, and the total number of the Kwantung Army reached an unprecedented nearly one million!

It directly reached the peak of Ren Zhong’s main world’s historical time and space.

Such an unprecedented mobilization is second only to the mobilization in the Japanese homeland. It is equivalent to squeezing out all the potential of the Japanese in Northeast Asia in one breath!

为了赢得华北决战的胜利，小鬼子这次真的又赌上了整个关东军真正的主力，把第1师团、第8师团、第9师团、第10师团、第11师团、第12师团、第14师团、第23师团、第24师团、第25师团、第28师团、第29师团、第57师团、第71师团调入关内，加入到第九方面军。

At the same time, in order to defend against possible attacks by the Great Bear, the expanded Kwantung Army still left about 70 troops distributed in the Northeast and South Korea.

In order to counter the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, the Kwantung Army's 1st Independent Tank Brigade, the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 5th Air Force and other special firepower units were strengthened this time. Such powerful strength is already the essence of the Kwantung Army's strength.

Among them, the 1st Independent Tank Brigade, in order to fight against the Eighth Route Army's tank units, specially mobilized the Japanese's most elite new tanks from Kyushu. 60 Type 34 medium tanks were incorporated into its 35th Tank Regiment and 50th Tank Regiment respectively. The front turret armor of the Type 4 medium tank was thickened to 2 mm, which could theoretically defend against the M76A2's 38 mm ordinary armor-piercing shells. Its main gun was also upgraded to a large-caliber Type 75-70 -caliber mm tank gun with rounds of ammunition.

The Type 1943 medium tank began to be developed in 1944 and was successfully developed in early 150. A total of about vehicles have been produced. This is the last "trump card" of the Japanese devils.

In the original historical time and space of the main world, these three types of medium tanks were lying in Kyushu gathering dust and had not been put to any use at all.

加上野战重炮兵第3旅团得48门大正四年式150毫米榴弹炮，36门三八改式75毫米野战炮.
Whether on the ground or in the air, this time the Japanese base has invested heavily in gambling on its fate!
Through computer telegram decryption, the border area's telecommunications decryption team was able to restore the general actions of the Japanese devils to a certain extent. Combined with the efforts of the underground organization, the border area and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters learned the numbers of the Japanese devils' southward troops in advance.

Almost everyone in the General Staff and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters were stunned by the Japanese move.

You must know that the Japanese are now sending out the real main field force!

Among the top twenty divisions, the Japanese First Division was the backbone, but also a weird one. It brought the Japanese tradition of defeating the strong with the weak to the extreme and almost overthrew the Japanese military headquarters!
He is the most fanatical warmonger among the Japanese devils and has a lot of blood on his hands!
However, this is not their acme. The Japanese 6th Division is even more notorious. This division was established after the Sino-Japanese War of -. It is one of the six hybrid divisions that the Japanese expanded their army. Since it was established in Hirosaki, it is also called the Hirosaki Division. From the establishment of this division to the present, all the division commanders have the rank of lieutenant general. Most of the soldiers come from the Japanese northeastern region, such as Aomori, Iwate, Akita and Yamagata, which are poor and remote counties. Therefore, these soldiers are known for their toughness and extreme obedience to orders.

Because of their extreme cruelty, the Japanese in this division were truly a team of beasts. They participated in almost all the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese in China. They were involved in the "September 18th" Incident, the July 7th Incident, and the Rehe Campaign. They were responsible for the burning, killing, and looting in the Northeast, the campaign to clean up the countryside, the suppression of the Volunteer Army, and the implementation of the "Three Alls" policy. They were also responsible for the massacres in Shanghai and Jiangning, and the burning, killing, and looting in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Qilu, and central Hebei.
It was responsible for the burning, killing and looting in Xiangjiang, the use of poison gas bombs in Zhejiang Province, and the looting of Chinese cultural relics in Shanxi. It was also responsible for the capture of women in Shenzhou and the forced use of them as comfort women. In the historical time and space of the main world, the Eighth Division was transferred to the Luzon battlefield to confront the rogue eagles, and finally committed suicide after being defeated! This group of beasts is cruel to people and their own people.

Many division commanders were listed as Class A war criminals and tried!

Their crimes were so numerous that Ren Zhong said to Staff Officer Ye after seeing the division number, "This Eighth Division has committed heinous crimes. From the division commander to the groom, no one is worthy of forgiveness. I suggest that we use our fuel-air explosive bombs as much as possible for the Eighth Division and make sure that there is no grass left in this Eighth Division!"

Staff Officer Ye seldom saw Ren Zhong so serious.

Although he was not sure what the Eighth Division had done, he knew that Ren Zhong had his own information channels and was naturally well aware of what the Japanese had done. Although Ren Zhong had always been very cruel to the Japanese, he even hinted to Li Yunlong's troops not to take any prisoners.

But it is rare to hate a Japanese army with a number so much. This Japanese division is definitely destined to die!

"Don't worry, Brother Ren. Since you said so, we will definitely not let the Eighth Division go. After we confirm the specific location of these Japanese devils, we will find ways to get rid of them first." Staff Officer Ye stated.

"No, Staff Officer Ye, you don't understand what I mean." Ren Zhong shook his head. "I don't mean to get rid of them first, but when dealing with these little devils, we don't need to consider leaving any prisoners, because they are cruel to our people and to themselves, and they don't care about their lives when fighting. The lives of our soldiers are precious, and we don't need to fight with these beasts."

"Now that we have fuel-air explosives, when facing the Eighth Division, we should attack them directly with fuel-air explosives from the beginning, leaving no trace of trouble, instead of taking risks in fighting just for them!" Although Ren Zhong hated the Eighth Division very much, he would never let the Eighth Route Army soldiers take risks just for this group of beasts.

There is no need to do so. When you encounter one, just use the most powerful means and cremate him/her alive. That is the best blessing for the Eighth Division!

The Japanese army gathered in large numbers.

The garrison of the old base in Central Hebei was evacuated in advance. This war was unusual. According to the deduction of the General Staff, it would last at least several months.

This group of elite Japanese soldiers from the Kwantung Army were known for their inhumanity, so at Ren Zhong's suggestion, the Eighth Route Army base carried out a large-scale campaign of scorching the walls and clearing the countryside.

The large-scale migration of central and southern Hebei, millions of people from the core base areas evacuated to the base areas of Jin and Qilu, hiding all the food and valuables that could not be taken away temporarily.

Try not to leave anything useful for the Japanese.

Now, outside the cities in central and southern Hebei, the guerrillas have long ruled the country. The Japanese are hiding in the cities and dare not come out at all. The strongholds outside the cities have now been basically destroyed.

With such a foundation, at the command, millions of people responded and sacrificed their own families for the sake of everyone!

In this way, not only the central and southern Hebei were emptied, but also the people living hundreds of kilometers near Shimen and Jizhou, where the Japanese were approaching, also fled.

The myth of hundreds of miles of uninhabited area is being staged in Hebei Province.

As the main force of the Japanese has not arrived yet, the Japanese in the city dare not move out at all for fear of being hammered to death. Now the main force of the Japanese in North China has retreated to Pingjin and Shanggu and other places.

There was nothing they could do about the large-scale migration of people in central and southern Hebei.

They watched helplessly as the people moved out. Even the people in the city, after seeing the people in the suburbs evacuated, packed up their belongings and ran away!

Most of the urban population in Hebei Province also quietly moved away, making it almost impossible for the Japanese to maintain their basic livelihood in the city. As a result, they chose to close the city gates and no one was allowed to leave the city.

However, it was too late at this time. A large number of people poured into Shanxi and the newly built Qi and Lu bases, injecting a large number of human resources into the local area. According to the heavy industrial plan, some of them were selected to work temporarily in factories, while others were put into the vigorous farmland and water conservancy construction. Even the elderly, the weak, women and children chose to do what they could, such as weaving, making clothes, herding sheep, and short-distance transportation.

Although a large amount of food will be consumed, the amount of food that ordinary people can take away cannot be too much. It is considered good if a wheelbarrow can carry more than 100 kilograms of food.

It is not clear when the war will end, so we naturally have to consider the food problem of these millions of people.

Thanks to the large-scale promotion and application of hybrid varieties and the role of water conservancy projects, Shanxi achieved a bumper summer harvest.

There is no problem in supplying these millions of people for two or three months.

Now that we have a mature work-for-relief method, there is no need for additional arrangements from above. The county and township levels that receive the relocated people can handle these things on their own.

Even temporary housing facilities with thick walls were built for the relocated people to prevent them from relying on personal physical exercise to generate heat to keep warm when heavy snow comes.

That would be too tragic. Jin is not a place with a kind climate. The winter is still as cold as a knife cutting your face!
