Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The current situation is somewhat delicate. On the one hand, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are constantly fighting and developing in the so-called anti-Japanese rear areas, and they can even suppress the Japanese in Yangquan.

In other places, the Shanxi Suiyuan Army retreated to the Yellow River in Luliang Mountain, not daring to attack the Japanese, but constantly engaging in friction with the Eighth Route Army. The same action was taken by Hu Zongnan's troops stationed in Xi'an. There were hundreds of thousands of troops there, but they did not take the initiative to cross the river to attack the Japanese, but instead pointed their guns at the base in the north.

There were actually many troops of the Central Army fighting guerrilla warfare like the Eighth Route Army, such as Sun Dianying and Pang Bingxun, who were also fighting guerrilla warfare against the Japanese. However, the Eighth Route Army fought the Japanese while on the move, while they were chased and beaten by the Japanese while on the move.

As a result, when the Eighth Route Army was busy blocking the Japanese army and emptying Yangquan and Xiyang, Sun Dianying, the commander of the KMT's newly formed Fifth Army, surrendered to the Japanese army in northern Henan and later became the commander of the 11th Front Army of the Wang Puppet Government. Well, he surrendered, then got promoted, and then after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he returned to the Central Army and continued to lead troops...

"Sun Dongling surrendered immediately? This is several days earlier than in the original world." Li Yuexuan, who was studying the opinions given by the headquarters and the production direction given by Minister Zhang in Liangjia Village, quickly searched for the time node of the original world when he received the news. How could Sun Dongling not hold on for a few more days?

Well, the Japanese wanted to play along with Sun Dianying for a few days before incorporating the Fifth Army. But Yangquan was taken. The Japanese didn't want to argue anymore and said to Sun Dianying directly: "The Imperial Army still has important things to do. Just give me a straight answer. Do you surrender or not?"

So, Sun Dianying surrendered obediently and said, "I can betray Lao Pang Bingxun. Does the Imperial Army want to give it a try?"
The devils didn't care about Pang Bingxun's affairs at this time. In their view, those were just minor issues, and the Eighth Route Army was the real problem! Of course, the main thing was to mobilize troops to the 36th Division to make up for the gap in troops after the 36th Division was mobilized, so as to avoid losing one thing while focusing on the other.

And what happened was that your newly formed Fifth Army surrendered, didn't it? Although there were a lot of empty salaries and they were defeated several times, there were still tens of thousands of people. You might as well just move them north!

The movements of the devils, including the movements of the puppet army and the stubborn army, were all within the reconnaissance range of the headquarters! As the devils around them continued to move, the leaders of the headquarters also came to understand the devils' idea, which was to retract their fists and then fight back after accumulating strength. The previous multiple arrangements were to prevent the devils from shrinking their scattered forces into fists.

"Tomorrow, at the latest at noon, the fighting around Yangquan will start!" At the Matan headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief made his judgment.

"Go, send a battle report to the Beishan Detachment and tell them to be prepared! This time, we must fight a good blocking battle and be prepared to evacuate in advance. We cannot allow heavy losses to occur! The meat is in our mouths, but we choke on it. That would be a loss!" The deputy commander-in-chief made a judgment.

As someone who could defeat MacArthur but was not a world-famous general, the deputy commander's strategic view was beyond doubt. Since the deputy commander said so, the Beishan Detachment naturally made various preparations. In fact, after two days and one night of forced march, several more regiments were added around the Beishan Detachment, bringing the main force of the Eighth Route Army to more than 4 in the Pingdong base area.

Therefore, the head of the headquarters is just reminding everyone to be prepared to meet the enemy, and there is no need to make any adjustments. Well, according to the data provided by Minister Zhang to the headquarters, the Liangjia Village Arsenal has been producing ammunition since the beginning of spring, which is enough to maintain the combat needs of so many comrades! The Eighth Route Army lacks ammunition, and nothing else! With ammunition, there is nothing to fear!
In Shouyang County, the people have been away from their homes for two days. Although the weather is not so cold now, some people who have no relatives or friends in the mountains have been living in the open air for the past two days. Therefore, the people are also looking forward to the devils coming quickly and finishing this battle quickly! As for whether the devils will take revenge on them afterwards? Anyway, it's the same whether you stick your head out or shrink your head, but there must be a stable situation, right? These people who have been ruled by the devils for several years are not like the people in the base area who are new to the Eighth Route Army, support the Eighth Route Army, and love the Eighth Route Army...

The earthen ridge at the east gate of Shouyang, which was originally used as a fake position, has become thicker and thicker in the past two days! The soldiers who have nothing to do these days, after dismantling everything that can be dismantled in Shouyang City, are bored and reinforce this fake position. Now, the fake position is getting stronger and stronger, and it can withstand the bombardment of the Japanese mountain artillery!

It has to be said that a county town can provide a lot of resources! Although Shouyang is just a passing city, the devils have also stockpiled a lot of supplies for the garrison here! There are also Japanese expatriates, they have opened many foreign shops, and the devil's field hospital also has a branch here.

Now? The Japanese expatriates were imprisoned in the gendarmerie, and this was the group that had not committed any evil! With the presence of comrades from the Shoudong and West District Committees, the investigators were very familiar with the morals of these shops in the city, so some of the expatriates who oppressed the people and even helped the Japanese to rape and plunder were buried with a knife!

Then, Kong Jie ordered all the shops, warehouses, and goods of these expatriates to be moved back to the base. That's not all. The doors and windows of the houses were all taken away, leaving nothing for the devils! Well, it wasn't just Kong who did this. In Ping'an County, Xiyang County, Yangquan... everyone was doing this!

In Yu County, north of Yangquan, the soldiers of a regiment in Beiyue District had a roller coaster day! Well, they were the first batch of troops from Beiyue District to be transferred here, and their purpose was naturally to assist Li Yunlong and his men in the battle of Yangquan. The soldiers of this regiment were also experienced in combat. They came without heavy weapons this time, and knew that they were not capable of attacking Yu County, so they moved around Yu County, intending to pick up some bargains.

The result was that in the early morning of the 17th, the patrol team discovered a hundred or so people dressed as civilians, sneaking towards Yu County.

"Captain, those people are different. They don't look like our fellow villagers! Look, they all walk with bow legs and are a lot shorter! Also, they all have young faces, only a few of them are older!" On a hidden hillside, scout Xiaoying quietly approached his captain to report.

"I also feel something is wrong. If anyone is not afraid of death, go over and ask. Be careful of being ambushed!" said the company commander surnamed Ma, putting down the telescope.

"I'll go. There's a pond over there. I'm good at swimming. If I feel something's wrong, I'll jump in! Comrades, be careful..." Xiaoying said, and then he quickly bypassed the ambush area and appeared on the mountain road in front of him, so that his comrades could only see his side. (End of this chapter)
