I am helping

However, Okamura Neji could act like a Japanese army general and quickly calmed down.

His right hand was also released from the handle of the general's sword.

"Just a bunch of mud-legged farmers."

"In other words, if you are lucky and have obtained some modern weapons and equipment, there is nothing to fear. Let them be proud for a while."

"When the main forces of the Kwantung Army and the 11th Army arrive, I will destroy them in one fell swoop this time."

Okamura Neji's words were harsher than ever before.

The empire's homeland is threatened, the Locust Palace is threatened, and the people of the empire are threatened. It is the mission of an imperial soldier to eliminate the threats.

Okamura Neiji: "Ai Sue-kun."

Youmo Jingsan: "Hi."

"Since the Eighth Route Army dares to threaten the Locust Army, the Locust Army cannot show weakness."

Okamura Neji said in a cold tone:
"Immediately draft a clear telegram. Every time an aerial bomb from the Eighth Route Army's long-range heavy bombers lands on the Japanese mainland, the locust army will massacre 1 Chinese people."

"Hi." Youmo Jingsan lowered his head and suddenly felt that he had gained a victory, so he quickly drafted a telegram.

After Okamura Neiji read the telegram, he handed it to communications staff officer Haruo Kiya.

Haruo Kitani quickly took the telegram and arranged for the telegraph room to send it out.

As Okamura Neiji and Arisu Seizo expected, it didn't take long for a telegram to be sent from the base camp: During the war, the locust army is not allowed to massacre Chinese people at will, and violations of military law will be punished.

Obviously, the Japanese base camp also received a clear telegram from the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, facing the threat from the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese base camp chose to temporarily compromise.

There was nothing the Japanese base camp could do. The last time the Eighth Route Army air raided the Japanese mainland, it caused huge losses to Tokyo and the aircraft carrier Shokaku was sunk.

Japan's local air defense commander was dismissed, and Hideji Tojo was scolded bloody by the locusts.

If such bombings were to happen again, it wouldn't be surprising if Tokyo was bombed, Ten Locust's Locust Palace was bombed, and Tojo Hideki was dismissed by Ten Locust.

Therefore, the Japanese base camp issued an order not to massacre Chinese people at will.

then.

Okamura Neiji also issued orders to the divisions and brigades of the North China Front not to massacre Chinese people at will, which is a violation of military law.

……

Zhangjiakou.

Japanese Frontline Command.

"General Okamura, what's going on?"

Mizuo Nakazawa, commander of the 1st Division, frowned deeply after receiving the order telegram from Okamura Neiji.

After learning that the Eighth Route Army was coming to attack, Mitsuo Nakazawa led the 1st Division, 26th Division and 71st Division to adopt the tactics of deep defense along the Pingsui Railway and Highway and block attacks layer by layer.

This tactic was also approved by Okamura Neji.

But now, Okamura Neji actually sent a telegram asking him to take the initiative.

outrageous.

It is difficult to defeat the Eighth Route Army head-on. If you want to win the battle, you can only use ambush tactics.

However, the 9th Division, which had adopted ambush tactics, had just suffered heavy losses. Even the division commander Higuchi Kiichiro had a disembowelment to apologize...

"Why would General Okamura issue such an order?"

Kuroda Shigenori's tone was also puzzled.

Lieutenant General Nagayama Noden of the 71st Division, who has recently led his troops to North China, is also puzzled: "Nakazawa-kun, Kuroda-kun, is there anything wrong with this order? Shouldn't we take the initiative?"

The 71st Division was a new division formed in the first half of the year. The soldiers and officers of this division were fanatical and brainwashed by the propaganda department, believing that the Eighth Route Army was vulnerable.

Kuroda Shigenori said in a solemn tone.

"Yuanshan Jun, your division has been stationed in Manchuria and you don't know the true strength of the Eighth Route Army."

"The Eighth Route Army is definitely not as vulnerable as advertised. On the contrary, their combat effectiveness is very powerful!"

"Ambush and guerrilla warfare are tactics that the Eighth Route Army is extremely good at. Playing ambush tactics with the Eighth Route Army is courting death!"

But I still don’t believe it when it comes to mountain climbing…

In the days since he came to Zhangjiakou, the 71st Division had been bombed continuously. He had seen the Eighth Route Army's air power. It was indeed very strong, but the ground infantry may not be very strong.

Kuroda Shigenori and Nakazawa Mitsuo did not want to fight the Eighth Route Army in Zhangjiakou.

Okamura Neji also gave an order to hold on for three days and then pretend to retreat. "The order from General Okamura..." Toyama said hesitantly.

"Send troops to symbolically attack the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army." Mitsuo Nakazawa thought for a moment and said, "The locust army guerrillas trained by the special agents can also be sent out."

"Hi."

A combat staff member suddenly lowered his head.

……

Huai'an County.

The North Route Attack Group Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Japanese destroyed Pingsui Road in an attempt to block the Eighth Route Army's transport of troops and weapons, the main force and engineers of the Eighth Route Army's Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were strong.

The railway damaged by the Japanese was quickly repaired.

After the main forces of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment were assembled in Yangquan, they quickly arrived in Huai'an through railway transportation.

And here, it is only 50 kilometers away from Zhangjiakou.

To the east, the Japanese destroyed the Pingsui Road very seriously, and deployed more troops along the highway and railway to block the Eighth Route Army's attack.

"Ha ha…"

"Now we have a way to control the little devil, it's cool!"

At the headquarters, Ding Wei looked at the three telegrams in his hand with a happy expression.

The three telegrams were a clear coded telegram sent by the Eighth Route Army headquarters, a clear coded telegram sent by the Japanese, and a report from the frontline general headquarters that severely damaged an infantry brigade of the Japanese Type A division.

On the opposite side, Kong Jie was also smiling.

Although the Japanese massacred Chinese people, Li Yunlong's "Yunlong Barbeque" plan was temporarily shelved.

But after this clear telegram was sent out, the Japanese in China no longer dared to massacre Chinese people at will.

If the Japanese dare to do that, the Eighth Route Army's heavy long-range bombers will be able to retaliate immediately.

Bomb Tokyo, bomb the Japanese Locust Palace.

The Eighth Route Army's ground-penetrating bombs can penetrate dozens of meters underground and destroy air-raid shelter fortifications dozens of meters underground. They are a major threat to the Japanese air-raid shelters.

The Eighth Route Army's napalm bombs were even more terrifying, and could ignite the entire Tokyo with the help of wind.

but.

The Japanese also had means to prevent the Eighth Route Army from bombing the Japanese mainland wantonly.

They are checks and balances.

In the past, this was something that the Chinese military and civilians would never dare to think about, but now the Japanese are also afraid of it.

of course.

That is to say, the Japanese did not dare to massacre Chinese people, and the Eighth Route Army did not send planes to bomb.

The battle that needs to be fought must still be fought.

"The little Japs can't hold on for long. Once we kill more than 100 million Japs in China, then, hum..."

Kong Jie's tone was fierce and his eyes were sharp.

Ding Wei also had a look of expectation on his face.

At that time, it will be difficult for the Japanese to surrender.

All the methods used by the Japanese to deal with the Chinese military and civilians must be repaid in redouble.

As the commander-in-chief, this is an opportunity given to Ding Wei by God. In his previous military career, he only commanded a force of more than 3 people at best. But it is different now. He can command more than 14 people including the main force and militia. Combat, this is already on another level. This is serious large-corps combat.

If he is in the national army, although he is not a theater commander, Ding Wei must still be at the level of a corps commander.

but.

After all, it was his first time to command so many troops in combat, and he lacked the combat experience of commanding a large corps. Ding Wei adopted a step-by-step, steady-attack strategy.

Anyway, the Eighth Route Army has a great advantage. As long as it doesn't make mistakes, this battle will be stable.

And in Pingshan County northwest of Shimen City.

The intersecting troops of a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army are about to encounter the 12th Regiment of the Japanese Infantry.
