    Just when Li Hui and others were walking leisurely through the Dabie Mountains and across the Jianghuai Plain towards Yancheng.  The Japanese army also took a series of new actions. Ningji Okamura, who had been planning for a long time, took the lead. The Japanese North China Front Army launched the "May 1st" "Suzheng" operation code-named "May 1" to the Eighth Route Army North China departments.  .

    The Japanese army, which had been preparing for a long time, opened its bloody mouth and bit the base areas with sharp fangs, trying to eliminate the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army who had been active in the rear of the occupied area and kept bleeding them.  The North China Plain is completely swallowed in the mouth.

    ?  The First and Twelfth Armies, the Garrison Mongolian Army, and the divisions directly under the Japanese North China Front Army were all dispatched, together with a large number of troops from the Imperial Association Army.  For a time, raging wars ignited on the vast lands of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and northern Henan. There were battlefields and smoke everywhere.

    Before the Japanese army¡¯s operation started, all the departments of the North China Eighth Route Army and the Central Army¡¯s first theater and third theater had already made corresponding preparations. After all, the Japanese army¡¯s large-scale mobilization of troops can be seen by anyone who is not blind.  They did a great job. The intelligence personnel of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party worked hard and failed to obtain a specific combat plan from the Japanese army. However, this is easy to handle. Since they don¡¯t know the main attack direction of the Japanese army, it is important to search for troops and defend.  The region should remain unchanged to respond to all changes. As long as the Japanese army moves, its combat objectives will naturally be hidden.

    Therefore, in the first few days before the start of the war, although the fully mobilized Japanese army occupied a large area controlled by the two sides of the Republic, these areas were voluntarily abandoned by both sides. The Japanese army never encountered the main force of the Chinese army. Although the offensive was fierce  , but with few successes.

    The Japanese Army¡¯s all-out attack on North China surprised the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army at the same time that the Japanese army¡¯s appetite was so large, and at the same time further reduced the troops.  It is bound to not last long, and I want to fight back after avoiding the Japanese army's edge.

    Just when both sides of the Republic believed that as long as they did not fight the Japanese army, the Japanese army would burn, kill and loot in various base areas before withdrawing as before, but the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

    As soon as the North China Front Army changed its attacking posture of flat push at the beginning of the war, it began to concentrate its forces, purposely interspersed and outflanked, and used heavy troops to attack several base areas and guerrilla areas at the junction of Southwest Shanxi, Central Hebei, Central Shandong, Northeastern Hebei, and Hebei and Henan.  Completely encircled, at this point, the strategic intentions of the Japanese army were truly revealed.

    This move by the Japanese army caught both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party by surprise and completely disrupted their previous strategic deployment. When the commanders of the two sides reacted, the Japanese army's encirclement of the main base areas and areas had completed.

    Naturally, the two sides cannot see their territory and troops being eaten by the Japanese army. However, due to the previous shrinkage of troops and the abandonment of the outlying areas, the distance between the base areas and the guerrilla areas has been widened. Now there are a large number of Japanese troops blocking them.  It is basically impossible to break through the Japanese defense line and rescue the besieged troops in the plain area.

    This is the real killing move of Okamura Ningji.  In fact, both the staff of the Eighth Route Army and the commanders of the first and third theaters all underestimated Ningji Okamura, a general of the Japanese army who was given high hopes by the Japanese emperor and hailed as a strategic genius by the Japanese Army Department.  After such a big battle, how could they be willing to just carry out an armed parade as before?

    The previous attack was nothing more than a fake move deliberately made by Neiji Okamura in order to paralyze the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army. His real plan was to concentrate his forces to eat a few important bases, stabilize the rear, and weaken the strength of the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army.  Then gradually spread outward, completely eliminating the Chinese army entrenched in North China.

    Gangcun Ningci's main combat target was the Eighth Route Army, so his first bite was the main bases of the Eighth Route Army in various provinces. In Shanxi, the three regiments of the 36th Division of the Japanese First Army came from Jinzhong.  , Yangquan, and Pingyao go south in three directions.  The 21st Division, which was recently transferred from Shandong to the Shijiazhuang area, also sent two regiments to attack westward from Xingtai and Handan.  With Changzhi as the center, the 14th Division encircled and marched northward in a fan shape. Their targets were all the bases of the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shanxi.

    The reason why the Japanese army dispatched two main divisions to attack this small base in such a mobilizing manner was because there was an important target here¡ªthe front headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which was located in Liao County, the center of the base.  In addition to the brain of the Eighth Route Army, Liaoxili, known as Little Yan'an, also has the headquarters of the 129th Division and a number of headquarters, as well as more than a dozen important departments of the Eighth Route Army, such as the arsenal, mint, and printing factory.

    theAs early as half a year ago, the intelligence agency of the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi had learned of this information through investigation and betrayal by traitors. The reason why Okamura Ningji did not take any action was that he wanted to do everything in one battle and completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army at once.

    In order to ensure that the brains of the Eighth Route Army could be wiped out, Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the First Army, secretly moved his headquarters to Changzhi and took command in person.

    Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu formulated a careful battle plan and divided the entire campaign into three stages. The first stage: sweeping out the outskirts of the base area and encircling the base area; the second stage: capturing the Qinhe River Valley and the Shexian area,  Fully open the road through Liao County.  The third stage: a general attack on the important targets of the Eighth Route Army in Liao County.  Among them, the second stage is the focus of the campaign.

    Because the battle this time is mainly about "beheading", in order to prevent those Eighth Route Army bosses from escaping, Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu also took out a trump card-the special murderous advance team.

    This unit is a special force trained by the First Army itself. It is composed of more than 200 veterans selected from the First Army.  The spy training has given them excellent marksmanship and precision-guided bomb-dropping skills. They are also masters at killing enemies with knives and bare hands.  He is also very familiar with special agent skills such as sending and receiving, and map drawing.

    Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu divided this force into two teams, with Yu Shigeo and Okawa Toyoshi serving as captains respectively, disguised as the Eighth Route Army, and sneaked into Liao County to carry out the "beheading" operation.

    The two teams acted separately. Mashiko Shigeo's team went straight to Wangjiayu, attacked the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and assassinated the head of the headquarters.  The Dachuan Taoji team rushed to Xihetou Village to attack the headquarters of the 129th Division.  Each member of the murderous advance team put on a worn-out Eighth Route Army uniform with their target tasks, photos, and resumes in their hands, and walked day and night with the Hanyang-made He 38-style, and went straight to the target location.

    In order to cover the attack of the murderous advance team, Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu went to the front line in person, commanded nine regiments and nearly 30,000 Japanese soldiers, and launched a full-scale attack on the base area in southwestern Shanxi.

    The three regiments of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army launched an attack on Pingding, Xiyang, Jingxing, Yuanshi, Zanhuang and other places in the northern part of the Taihang Mountains, and seized Junjiguan, the commanding height in the Taibei area.  Most of the 14th Division and the two regiments of the 21st Division attacked Changzhi, Wuxiang, Shexian, and Wu'an from the east, south, and west, making a gesture of attacking Liaoxian and Piancheng.

    The various units of the 129th Division, the headquarters guard regiment, and the directly subordinate team used the terrain to establish defensive positions around Liao County, and tried their best to block the Japanese attack.

    This is exactly what Yoshio Yansong wanted to see. Taking advantage of the chaos, the advance team disguised as the Eighth Route Army used a pure Shanxi accent to deceive the peripheral security forces and local people, sneaked into Liao County, and successfully arrived at Xihetou Village  , taking advantage of the opportunity when the troops were empty, attacked the 129th division headquarters. The division guard company did not expect to be attacked by "our own people", and suffered heavy losses during the panic. Fortunately, the guard company was equipped with 100 56  Type submachine guns and 5 Squad 56 machine guns, relying on fierce firepower, barely withstood the attack of the advancing team. Several big men from the 129th Division took the opportunity to leave proudly.

    ? Although the advance team failed, they learned the specific location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and they informed Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu of the situation through the radio in time.

    Soon, several bombers of the Japanese army flew over, and under the command of the advancing team, they dropped bombs on the courtyard where the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was located.  Zuo Quan, the deputy chief of staff, was bombed and sacrificed.

    Afterwards, in the face of the heavy Japanese troops, the Eighth Route Army headquarters, various agencies and the 129th Division Division broke out respectively. After several twists and turns, they all jumped out of the devil's encirclement.  The civilian cadres who were regarded as treasures all died when they broke out.  Among the staff officers of the headquarters and the 129th division, few survived.

    These staff officers who once used their pens as knives, used their minds to fight against the Japanese army, and formulated a large number of classic battle plans, resolutely picked up the unfamiliar rifles at a critical moment, and had a real fight with the devils.  Fighting, using their own lives, bought precious time for the evacuation of the chief and his comrades.

    As for the casualties of the troops, it was even greater. Before the war, there were nearly 10,000 troops in the southwestern Shanxi base area, but less than 40% of the soldiers broke out, and more than half were injured.

    In addition to the regular army, the militiamen and civilians also suffered heavy casualties. At the critical juncture, the militiamen still resolutely took up the responsibility, blocking the Japanese troops and covering the people who were evacuated by the main force.  Fighting desperately with old weapons against the Japanese army armed to the teeth, until the last moment of life.

    Yoshio Yanmatsu was very annoyed when he learned the news that the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the 129th Division leaders had successfully broken through. In order to vent his anger, he ordered the troops to implement the Sanguang policy in the base area. The devils showed their bestial side, killing, arson, and adultery  The looting was happening in every village in the base area. The inhuman devils used bayonets and bullets to massacre innocent people in the whole village, and then used a big fire to cover up their crimes.

    Liao County and She County were ablaze, and the thick black smoke covered the entire sky.  The Southwest, which was originally quite fertile, has become a dead land.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)?Until the last moment of life.
