    After all, war is a competition of comprehensive national strength, and the most important factors that constitute comprehensive national strength are population, resources, and the level of industrialization.

    To maintain such a large-scale war, not only a large number of soldiers are needed, but also a massive amount of war resources, including weapons, equipment, ammunition, food, etc.

    ¡°These things cannot appear in front of you for no reason. They all need people to produce them, so in the final analysis, we still have to fight for population.

    Currently, Japan claims to have 100 million citizens, but excluding the people in North Korea and Taiwan, the number is actually only about 70 million.

    With this small population, it is not enough to maintain a standing army of five to six million people and to produce national industry and agriculture for this purpose.

    "But it won't work without production. Isn't it nonsense to ask the frontline troops to fight with the bayonets of the American and British troops armed to the teeth with their bulletless 38 caps?"

    At the beginning, the Japanese government paid attention to women and proposed that men should fight in the front and women should ensure production in the back.

    But women are women after all, and many industries are not suitable for women, such as mining, smelting, etc., and these are important links in ensuring military production.

    Since women cannot meet the needs of the frontline troops, the Chinese and Koreans have become big talking animals in the eyes of Japan, and plundering China's population has become a blatant policy of the Japanese government.

    Files disclosed in recent years show that in order to meet domestic needs during the Tojo Hideki cabinet, the Japanese passed a resolution "On the Immigration of Chinese Laborers into the Mainland of Japan."

    The resolution stipulates that the immigration of Chinese workers to Japan will be mainly used in mines, port loading and unloading, national defense civil construction, etc.; the immigrated Chinese workers are mainly North China workers, and Chinese prisoners of war are also among them; the immigrated Chinese workers will be executed by the North China Labor Association.  wait.

    After this decision came out, Japan first "experimentally immigrated" more than 1,400 Chinese workers to see the effect.

    Soon, after achieving obvious results, the Japanese government formulated a plan to plunder the Chinese population on a large scale.

    ?Then the Japanese army began to carry out crazy raids on rural areas in China. In the past, the Japanese raids were mainly based on robbing and killing, robbing gold and silver property, robbing women and all kinds of edible things.  However, with the introduction of the policy of forced labor from China, the Japanese began to rob people, and they would arrest anyone they saw as a man. Later, they even took away men and women regardless of gender, as long as they could work.

    In addition, the war in northern China had been going on for five years at this time. Under such circumstances, the population naturally experienced a large-scale decline.

    Under such circumstances, if new faces like Li Guoyao want to take root in the region and develop rapidly, the first problem they must solve is population!

    Therefore, both the miners and the Japanese prisoners were measures taken to solve the population problem!

    Especially those Japanese prisoners of war and civilians. Li Guoyao knew that the Japanese captured a large number of civilians and prisoners of war in China. Under normal circumstances, these people would become free labor for the Japanese, but Li Guoyao hoped that they could be exchanged for prisoners.  Change it back.

    So no matter how much we consume now, we are preparing for rapid development in the future!

    What's more, Li Guoyao has never been a loser. The wool comes from the sheep. No matter how much supplies are consumed by the Japanese, he will get them back twice as much from Neji Okamura.

    By the way, as Li Guoyao's troops withdrew from Sumu Mountain, the Japanese army reoccupied the Datong area, and the Japanese troops in various places were also retreating. The public security operation launched by the Japanese army also came to an end.

    However, for the Eighth Route Army, their counter-mopping up has just begun!

    On November 17, when the intention of the Japanese army to withdraw was already obvious, the command organ of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region made a judgment: Because the enemy penetrated deeply into our territory and the rear contact line was extended, although the enemy wanted to withdraw, he could not withdraw in a short time.  It is impossible to evacuate all, so Commander Nie is determined to deploy basic and experienced troops in mobile positions to attack the enemy at the right moment, and use a large number of newly formed guerrilla armed forces to conduct ambushes, side attacks, and night attacks on the enemy.

    The specific deployment is that the main force of the 1st Military Division is between Guang, Ling and Lai, the main force of the 2nd Military Division is in the Wutai area, the main force of the 4th Military Division is in the Shangshe Town and Hongzidian areas, and the main force of the 3rd Military Division is in the area of ??Shangshe Town and Hongzidian.  They assemble covertly in the Fuping area and wait to annihilate the enemy.

    On the night of November 17, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region issued anti-siege operations instructions, requiring all military divisions to strengthen reconnaissance, quickly complete combat deployment and various preparations, mobilize and organize the masses to clear the field and block information.

    On the 18th, the troops detected the Pinghan RailwayThe two armies of the enemy's 27th Division deployed along the line were retreating. Among them, more than 3,000 Japanese troops were dispatched from Baoding and Yixian. They attacked Laiyuan under the cover of aircraft and then stopped advancing. The Japanese and puppet troops stopped at Dalonghua last night.  Another one is stationed in a nearby county.

    The enemy was very tired due to being harassed by guerrillas along the way and was not on guard.

    Based on this situation, the 1st Detachment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region attacked Dalonghua with one unit that night, broke into the town in one fell swoop, and started street fighting with the enemy. After a fierce battle all night, more than 400 enemies were wiped out, and more than 300 remaining enemies fled back to Yi County.

    The enemy who invaded the west from Baoding was stopped near Mancheng by the cavalry battalion of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

    There were more than 1,000 enemy troops along the way, attacking from Dingxian and Xinle to Quyang and Xingtang.  The enemy was strongly blocked by the 4th detachment at Gaomentun and Doujiazhuang, so the enemy who attempted to occupy Quyang returned to Baoding.  The enemies dispatched by Xinle also stagnated after occupying Xingtang.

    At this point, the enemy who invaded the west from the Ping-Han Railway completely lost the ability to invade the hinterland of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region.

    More than 1,400 troops from the enemy's Mongolian Corps stationed in the east of the Tongpu Railway were dispatched from Yingxian County and continued to invade Guangling after occupying Hunyuan.

    On November 20, the main force of the 1st Detachment of the Eighth Route Army set up an ambush on both sides of the high ground at Changling Pass between Hunyuan and Guangling.  When the Japanese troops entered the ambush area, they were suddenly attacked.  After several hours of fierce fighting, the 1st detachment wiped out more than 500 enemies and then took the initiative to withdraw from the battle. The Japanese troops did not dare to advance after they withdrew to Guangling County.

    This continuous attack lasted until November 23. By this time, the main force of the Japanese army had been driven out of the internal and external defense areas of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the battlefield situation had returned to the state before the war at the beginning of the month.

    On the morning of the 25th, Lieutenant General Adachi 23, who moved his headquarters to Datong City, sent a summary telegram to Okamura Neiji in Beiping City, in which he mentioned his understanding of the Eighth Route Army.

    "The reason why the Communist army is stubborn is that they relied on traditional tactics to open up many anti-Japanese base areas in the mountainous areas and provincial borders in the areas occupied by the imperial army. The terrain of their base areas was the Wutai Mountains and Southeast Mountains in Shanxi that were inaccessible to the imperial army.  areas, the Taishan Mountains in Shandong, and the railway intermediate areas in Hebei. Each base area is equivalent to several counties. Food is concentrated here, small arms repair factories are established, propaganda agencies are established, schools are established, and banknotes are issued."

    "The counties in the base areas all have county governments and county magistrates on Tubal Road. The Communist Army used their expertise to train and organize militiamen, establish people's self-defense groups, and make them participate in the Anti-Japanese War. Such base areas are distributed within the imperial army's theater areas.  During the battle, the Communist troops did not openly enter the battlefield from the front. Instead, they often carried out sabotage from the sides or behind and hindered our transportation. For this reason, they restrained many of our troops. As soon as the combat troops arrived, the Communist troops fled and turned around.  Our baggage troops who came after the attack are indeed a group of opponents that are difficult to deal with."

    At the same time, Anda 23 also believes that eliminating Tubal Road is no longer something that happens overnight, but should be regarded as a long-term and important task.

    In addition, he also suggested that if you want to solve the problem of Tubal Road in North China, you cannot rely on brute force, but you must find a more appropriate way, either by adding more troops, or by using the China government troops to contain and divide it!

    However, before the Japanese army could react, the Eighth Route Army made new moves
