    Regarding the report sent by Hattori Saburo, Okamura Neji had no doubts.

    Firstly, Okamura Neiji himself believed from the bottom of his heart that the Eighth Route Army had done this. After all, there was no longer an organized national army north of the Great Wall, and it was impossible for them to mobilize so many troops in such a short period of time.  During the battle with the Imperial Army, Tubalu was the only suspect.

    " Erlai Tuba Road has a "criminal record", and this battle is simply a replica of last year's large-scale raid in terms of combat methods and suddenness.

    ??????????????????????? Only the Tubal Route Army likes to act in disguise, either pretending to be ordinary people, or pretending to be the Imperial Japanese Army. It is rare to hear that the National Army will pretend to be the Eighth Route Army.

    Therefore, after receiving the report from Hattori Saburo, Okamura Neji immediately made a decision to suppress the attack on Tubal Road.

    At the moment, under the order of Okamura Neiji, the troops of the First Army located along the Shotai Railway quickly assembled towards the Niangzi Pass and Jingxing Pass lines, and conducted a dragnet sweep of nearby places suspected of being infested by the Eighth Route Army.

    In order to confuse the little Japs, two troops from the First Regiment of the Independent Brigade and the Second Division of the Eighth Route Army Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region came out to tease the little Japs from time to time. This made the area full of smoke and made the atmosphere tense.

    With the cooperation of Li Guoyao's command and the Eighth Route Army, Okamura Neiji and the entire North China Front believed that the previous battle was caused by the Eighth Route Army and did not think deeply about it.

    While the main force of the Japanese army was being dragged along the Zhengtai Line, the National Army and the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei responded quickly, strengthened their alert, and actively prepared for war.

    Now Lu Zhonglin and others could see that the Japs were indeed heading towards southern Hebei Province. If the "Eighth Route Army" hadn't happened to kill the Japs along the Zhengtai Railway, Gou Ri would have killed Ji Nan right now.  The southern and southern national army defense zones are now.

    At the same time, Lu Zhonglin also secretly admired Li Guoyao's strategic vision. If he hadn't reminded Lu Zhonglin to abandon the past and help a group of Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army would certainly be in trouble now, and they might not be able to get over it.

    Taking advantage of the fact that the little devil is temporarily held back by the Eighth Route Army, the Hebei-Cha War Zone must strengthen preparations to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Eighth Route Army's southern Hebei defenders.

    The order to prepare for war at the headquarters of the Hebei-Cha theater was quickly sent to the headquarters of the Ninth Army. Li Guoyao also knew the relevant information, but he just smiled.

    It is not too late for the national army to prepare for war at this time, but whether it can hold on depends on how determined Okamura Neji is!

    You must know that the current strength of the North China Front has been greatly strengthened. If Okamura Neiji is determined to capture southern Hebei, it may be difficult to stop him based on the current strength of the Hebei-Cha War Zone.

    But Li Guoyao is not worried. Even if the Japanese army concentrates its forces to attack southern Hebei, and even if they really occupy all the large towns including Handan City, what will happen.

    The attack capability of the Little Devils is indeed very strong, but the shortcomings of lack of troops and too long front lines have existed from the beginning, and there is still no change until now. Even if they occupy the towns, the vast countryside is still beyond their reach.

    By then, the Chinese army will only need to move to the countryside, and it will be the little devil¡¯s turn to have a headache!

    In short, it will never be possible for the Japanese to completely eliminate the Chinese army on Chinese soil.

    For example, the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the Northeast was originally just a group of Red Party members and a group of volunteers who spontaneously resisted the Japanese invasion. There was no regular army at all, and the number was not very large. But even so, the little devils never  After 31 years of siege and suppression, we still have not been able to wipe out all the people who resisted the alliance.

    "Compared with the Northeast, there are more Chinese people in North China, the regular army is stronger, and it is not afraid of the attacks of the Japs.

    Therefore, when the Hebei-Cha War Zone Headquarters strictly ordered all departments to actively prepare for war, Li Guoyao also ordered the 194th Division on the Eastern Front and the 177th Division on the Western Front to prepare for battle, but his own plan to go north was not interrupted.

    On October 7, after two and a half days of forced march, Li Guoyao personally led more than 20,000 main troops and five to six thousand rescued miners to Baita Liang, 30 kilometers southwest of Lingqiu County.

    Baitaliang is a mountain, not very high, but there are endless mountainous areas around it for twenty or thirty miles.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT???

    In addition, it is not very far from Laiyuan and Fuping, so Li Guoyao decided to stay here for a while!

      In fact, this is different from Li Guoyao's previous battle plan. Li Guoyao's previous plan was to go all the way north and directly pull the troops to Sumu Mountain at the junction of the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, and establish a base area there as the center.

    But he didn¡¯t expect that he would have a fierce battle with the Japs on the way and rescue a large number of miners!

    Although the miners are all young and middle-aged men, due to long hours of high-intensity labor and lack of food and clothing, they are all very weak. After these two days, many of them can no longer hold up.  , there are many laggards.

    " And Li Guoyao couldn't leave them alone. After all, they were the people they rescued. This would also be their reserve source of troops in the future. After thinking about it again and again, Li Guoyao decided to rest in Baita Liang for a while.

    However, although the infantry did not continue to move forward, the cavalry did not need to stay where they were. They still had to continue heading north according to the original plan.

    On the one hand, because this is a mountainous area, the cavalry is not of much use here, and the cavalry¡¯s target is too large, making their presence easily detectable.

    On the other hand, Li Guoyao needed them to use the mobility of their war horses to go north in advance to understand the situation in the Sui Cha area and provide intelligence support for the large forces moving north!

    Therefore, under Li Guoyao's order, Lu Dashan, Chen Jianzhong and others continued to go north!

    As for Li Guoyao's troops going north, the Japanese army had no news at all. They also carried out repeated raids along the Zhengtai Railway, intending to put out any signs of the "Eighth Route Army" launching a second offensive.

    In addition, the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters and Base Camp are very satisfied with the performance of Okamura Neiji's raid on the Eighth Route Army's troops in southern Hebei.

    In less than a week, eight county towns were recovered and a large number of Tubal Route Army was annihilated. This was not only the first major victory for Okamura Neiji since he took office, it was also considered the first victory in the battle. It was also the first victory in the showdown between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army in recent years.  A rare victory.

    The commendation telegrams came like snowflakes, and the new commander Okamura Neiji finally established a firm foothold in the North China Front!

    It should be said that some time ago, Okamura Neji used thunderous means to suppress a large number of disobedient generals, including Kimura Hyoutarou, who had good relations with Tojo Riku, Kuwaki Takaaki, Sakai Hoji and others, which slightly shocked the uneasiness within the North China Front.  factor.

    However, there are many people within the front army who do not like or even disapprove of him. After all, some measures taken by Neji Okamura after he took office have indeed touched the actual interests of many people.

    " Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents, so there are many people waiting to see Okamura Neji's joke. His position as commander is not very stable.

    But this time, Okamura Neiji only mobilized half of the troops of two under-strength infantry divisions. Without going to the battlefield himself, he easily defeated the main force of the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei and defeated all the defeated infantry divisions.  All the counties occupied by the Eighth Route Army were conquered, directly proving their ability with their achievements.

    Faced with such a record, many people directly changed their views on him. Even if some people were still dissatisfied, they could only endure it. No one dared to stand up and challenge Okamura Neji's authority.

    It can be said that Okamura Neiji really decided the outcome in one battle and completely stabilized the North China Front Army!

    What Okamura Neji doesn¡¯t know is that a huge crisis is approaching them, and the creator of the crisis is Li Guoyao!
