    Just as the Japanese First Army surrounded the base area in southeast Shanxi, the Jizhong base area was also attacked by devils.

    The Jizhong base is one of the main bases established by the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei. It starts from the Jinpu Railway in the east, reaches the Pinghan Railway in the west, reaches Pingjin in the north, and reaches Cangshi Road in the south. It is located in the heart of the Japanese-occupied area in North China.  , the east, west, and both sides can attack the two important railway lines of Jinpu and Pinghan at any time, cutting off the transportation and supply of the Japanese army in North China.

    The Jizhong base is also an important hub connecting the bases of the North China Eighth Route Army. Countless intelligence news, weapons and ammunition are spread to other regions through the well-connected underground transportation network of the Jizhong base.

    ?  At the same time, the Jizhong base area with fertile land and huge grain production is also the granary of the North China Eighth Route Army. It has always been called "North China Ukraine".

    Since Okamura Neiji took office, he has always regarded the Jizhong base area as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and has always wanted to occupy the granary of the North China Eighth Route Army. Since 1941, Okamura Neiji has been implementing the cage policy to blockade the Jizhong base area  At the same time, heavy troops were dispatched several times to carry out repeated raids on the base areas.

    Under the attack and blockade of the Japanese army, in less than a year, the size of the Jizhong base area was reduced by half, and all the counties were lost, and even the towns were left. The entire base area was blocked by the Japanese army's trenches and gun towers.  Wire cutting is scattered.  However, the troops in the Jizhong Military Region have also changed from more than 60,000 in its heyday to more than 28,000 today.

    However, thanks to the efforts of the officers and soldiers of the Jizhong Military Region and the common people, the base area still maintains relative integrity.  Moreover, the Japanese army also suffered a lot of casualties in the previous raids.

    Neiji Okamura is determined to remove this thorn in his side completely this time.  He personally commanded the 41st Division of the Japanese Army as the main force, supplemented by part of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, the Shirataki Troop of the 110th Division, the Sakamoto Detachment of the 26th Division, the 13th Cavalry Wing and the Independent Mixed 1st Brigade.  The 7th Brigade's Ogawa troops and other Japanese troops, together with the puppet troops, totaled about 100,000 people. Led by hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, with the cooperation of the 29th Independent Flying Team, they launched a comprehensive attack on the Jizhong area from four directions.

    Relying on the original gun towers and blockades, the Japanese attacking troops carried out an "iron wall encirclement" of the base area, and took advantage of maneuvering to adopt multi-channel dense "pull-net" and "comb-style" tactics to continuously compress the forces of Jizhong troops from all directions.  The activity space is an attempt to besiege it in the center of the base, and then wipe it all out.

    At the beginning of the sweep, the Jizhong troops and militia could still rely on their geographical advantages and adopt guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to eliminate and block the advance of the Japanese army. However, under the command of Neiji Okamura, the Japanese troops gradually advanced and occupied an area.  The gun towers and trenches are stationed side by side, seeking stability rather than speed.

    ?As the Japanese army continued to advance and the space for activities gradually decreased, the guerrilla tactics that the Eighth Route Army was best at completely lost their use.  At the same time, look for the weak points of the Japanese army and wait for an opportunity to break through.

    While attacking from the front, the Japanese army carried out a bloody "purge" of the occupied areas, hunted down anti-Japanese armed forces and anti-Japanese cadres everywhere, searched for anti-Japanese supplies, and frantically massacred anti-Japanese civilians. Wherever they suffered, they went to take revenge.  Wherever there were anti-Japanese activities, they went there to "clear and suppress", and wherever the Eighth Route Army and anti-Japanese cadres lived, they went to burn and kill.  For a time, Jizhong, like the southwestern Shanxi base area, became a scorched earth and no man's land.

    Just as the Japanese army was marching triumphantly in the southeast Shanxi and central Hebei base areas, the Japanese Twelfth Army, which was in charge of attacking the Luzhong base area, was facing the exact opposite situation.

    In terms of the Twelfth Army, it can be said to be a strong army. The entire Japanese North China Front Army has a total strength of 250,000 troops, of which the Twelfth Army accounts for 100,000 troops.  Nearly 500 tanks and armored vehicles were dispatched. Although the 21st Division was transferred to Shijiazhuang before the war, this did not affect the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in Shandong at all.  All of the above are just the Army.

    The Japanese Army Aviation Corps stationed two flying teams in Shandong, with nearly a hundred aircraft of various types, stationed at eight airports, and could bomb the surrounding areas at any time.

    In terms of the navy, there are 5,000 marines stationed in Qingdao, and there are more than ten large ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons in Qingdao Port and Yantai Port.  These warships belong to the same squadron, which is responsible for the safety of Shandong waters and coastal areas.

    According to reason, with such a large-scale, sea, land and air force group sitting in one, Shandong should be the most stable area in the Japanese-occupied area, but the fact is the opposite.With so many troops, they are completely forced to do nothing¡ªthe Chinese army in Shandong is too strong.

    Shandong has been a place of tough folk customs since ancient times. The tall and burly Shandong people are born with a passion for blood and a chivalrous spirit in their bones. Even women have such a sense of boldness, honesty, honesty, and honesty.  The Shandong people who hate evil like enemies really roar when they see injustice, and they take action when it is time to do so, and they are very reckless in fighting, so Shandong has always been a place rich in elite soldiers.

    After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, although Han Fuju, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, handed over Shandong to the Japanese without firing a single shot, but the enthusiastic Shandong people were unwilling to be subjugated slaves. For a while, various anti-Japanese armed forces sprung up like mushrooms after rain.  of

    Appeared on the land of Qilu.

    These anti-Japanese armed forces include Han Fuju's old department who wants to defend his home and country, thieves who want to stand up for the heavens and occupy the mountains as kings, and honest peasants who can't see their neighbors and whose wives and children are bullied by devils.  Although they come from different backgrounds, they all have one thing in common¡ªthey are Chinese who have a passion in their bones and don¡¯t want to be subjugated slaves.

    These people took rifles, earthen cannons, broadswords, spears, even sickles and kitchen knives, and fought against the devils who sacrificed their lives to death.  Relying on familiarity with the terrain and flexible and maneuverable tactics, the devils suffered a lot of casualties.

    However, to put it bluntly, these people are nothing but a rabble who are desperately fighting for their lives. Compared with the national war machine, they are not at the same level at all. They are under the attack of well-equipped and well-trained Japanese soldiers.  All the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong suffered heavy losses.

    Just when the Japanese army thought that these "rioters" could be completely wiped out with just one more effort, the Eighth Route Army came.

    The 115th Division, which was ordered to advance eastward, actively contacted the anti-Japanese armed forces after entering Shandong. As if seeing the savior, the anti-Japanese forces in Shandong joined the Eighth Route Army one after another. This made the strength of the 115th Division explode rapidly. In just half a year,  It has grown from more than 8,000 people when it first entered Shandong to a huge scale with 20,000 regular troops, 50,000 local troops, and more than a dozen base areas and guerrilla areas.

    While other base areas were still being established or developing silently, the Eighth Route Army in Shandong had already begun to take the initiative to trouble the Japanese army. One day they would call up a grain requisition team, the next day they would attack a patrol team, or they would go to the railway to overturn a few special trains. Anyway, there would be no  When it stopped for a moment, it gave the devil a headache.

    In 40 years, other military regions and base areas in North China suffered heavy losses under Neiji Okamura's "cage policy" and repeated raids.

    Only the Eighth Route Army in Shandong had the most comfortable life. They fought against the Japanese army in Shandong. The little devils ran to the guerrilla area to raid, and they jumped out to sweep up areas where the Japanese army was relatively weak, and even attacked the Japanese fortress. This is called ""  Flipping tactics", in the words of Commander Xu and the old political commissar, this is Nezha making troubles in the sea, making the Japanese army restless.

    At the end of 1941, the Japanese army in Shandong, who could not bear to be tortured by the 115th Division, took out their old background and used almost all their troops to conduct a thorough sweep of the base areas and guerrilla areas in Shandong. Objectively speaking, this sweep was quite successful  Yes, because of the rapid development of the troops and the surge of new recruits, the combat effectiveness of the 115th Division has been greatly reduced. In addition, the base areas and guerrilla areas have expanded too fast, and the troops have been completely dispersed.  Can't stand the situation.

    The Japanese raid not only drove the 115th Division out of Jiaodong, but also almost ate up its division headquarters and main force.  Although it failed to achieve the preset combat objectives, the Japanese army in Shandong was quite satisfied with the results of the battle. They thought that the 115th Division would not be making trouble this time.

    Unexpectedly, it has only stopped for a few days, and this group of Tubalu has brought a large number of new weapons, including submachine guns, machine guns, mortars, artillery, grenades, and mines. The firepower is fierce and the power is powerful.  , coupled with the guerrilla tactics, it is simply an existence against the sky.  In just two months, those Tuba roads turned the whole of Shandong upside down.

    As the saying goes, you have to pay back when you come out to mess around, and the Japanese soldiers in Shandong will not always be beaten and not fight back.  With the official start of the "May 1st" sweep, the Twelfth Army, which had already been deployed, also launched a full-scale attack.

    The Twelfth Army has mobilized nearly 70,000 Japanese troops and 100,000 puppet troops this time. You must know that the Japanese army still occupies most of Shandong, and these places need to be stationed, especially  It is a big city and an important transportation hub like Jinan, Qingdao, and Zhangdian, and it needs a large number of defenders to ensure that the Eighth Route Army will not take advantage of the loopholes.  The 170,000 army is already the limit of the Shandong Japanese army's ability to mobilize troops.

    Such a large-scale attack is enough to show the determination of Lieutenant General Tuqiao to completely wipe out the Shandong Eighth Route Army.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
