    When the news reached Datong, it was already past six o'clock in the morning. At this time, Li Guoyao got up, and he was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news.

    He immediately ordered people to report the situation to Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai, Ma Desheng and others. At the same time, he ordered Lu Dashan and others to immediately garrison the banner counties in Chabei, and ordered them to continue attacking eastward, making sure to capture the Dongwu Banner and Xilin Banner east of Xilinhot.  Wuqi, Huolingol and other places were captured in one go.

    But in view of their limited strength, they were not allowed to go south to attack Chifeng and its surrounding counties.

    And through this battle, Li Guoyao also realized that Okamura Neji was indeed more difficult to deal with. He originally wanted to dig a hole for the little devils in this battle. Once the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangjiakou couldn't help but go north to reinforce Xilinhot, he would concentrate  The huge force of the two divisions raided Zhangjiakou City and captured this important town in Chanan in one fell swoop.

    However, what he didn't expect was that the little devil would rather watch Xilinhot being captured than send troops to reinforce Muto and others.

    ¡°Obviously Okamura Neji has seen through Li Guoyao¡¯s intentions. This person is indeed more difficult to deal with than Tada Shun and others.

    But Li Guoyao was not discouraged. Resistance against Japan was not achieved overnight. There was no chance this time. There would always be times when Okamura Neiji could not guard against it.

    Now that Xilinhot has been conquered, it is time to implement the second step of the plan.

    ¡° In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Taking advantage of the little devil¡¯s unpreparedness, Li Guoyao plans to secretly move part of the main force to Xilinhot to prepare for the Eastern Expedition.

    On February 1, Li Guoyao ordered the main force of the 177th Division and the independent brigade to assemble secretly, leave Jining at night, and head north to Xilinhot, hundreds of kilometers away.

    At the same time, Xu Ziyu was ordered to secretly rush to the Northeast with two hundred special forces members!

    Since we are going to march eastward and enter the territory of the Kwantung Army, we must first understand the current situation in the Northeast.

    It was naturally not appropriate to rush to send a large force there, so Li Guoyao decided to send a special force there first to find out the situation in the Northeast region first.

    In fact, Okamura Neiji sees the current situation very clearly. After Suixi, Suizhong and northern Shanxi were recaptured by the Chinese army, Chabei became a lonely army. Once the Chinese army wanted to take it, the North China Front Army would simply  Can't hold on.

    So after learning that Li Guoyao's troops were attacking Chabei, Okamura Neji acted very calmly.

    To him, Chabei is not a strategic location, and it would not be a pity to lose it.

    On the contrary, after Li Guoyao's troops captured Chabei, they had to send the main force to station, and their front line would inevitably be greatly lengthened. Once the North China Front decided to counterattack Chabei, Li Guoyao's troops would be passive.

    However, Okamura Neiji did not immediately formulate a plan to counterattack Chabei. In his view, Li Guoyao's army was a foreign invader. What really affected his troops was the Eighth Route Army and the national army in Shaanxi and Henan, because these people were in the Japanese army.  Activities within the defense zone are internal concerns.

    Compared with external troubles, internal troubles are more worrying.

    Therefore, before counterattacking Chabei, or even counterattacking Suiyuan, Okamura Neiji decided to first solve the Tubal Road in North China.

    After investigation by the secret service, it was found that all the counties and larger villages and towns in North China were occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army. However, a large number of Tubal Roads were still active in the vast rural areas.

    They mobilized the people to carry out anti-Japanese guerrilla war, and while expanding and replenishing the main force, they paid more attention to the construction of local people's anti-Japanese armed forces.

    A large number of anti-Japanese base areas, military regions and military divisions were even established in Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei and other places. In addition to the regular troops of about 1 brigade and 3 regiments, each military division also had a county brigade in each county it belonged to.  , each district also has a district squadron, with these troops as the backbone, leading the guerrillas, self-defense forces, militia, guerrilla groups, etc. in the townships and villages.

    These anti-Japanese armed forces cooperated with each other to stand guard, look out, and check pedestrians; conduct reconnaissance, eliminate traitors, and counter-counterfeiting; destroy enemy railways, highways, water transportation, and communication lines, and use mountains, water networks, villages, complex terrain, and night attacks.

    ¡°Although after occupying North China in the winter of 1937, the Japanese army continuously launched large-scale raids in an attempt to turn North China into a ruled area like Taiwan and North Korea.

    However, the results have never been good. Under extremely difficult and cruel conditions, the Eighth Route Army not only achieved anti-mopping victories again and again, but also smashed the first, second, and third "security strengthening campaigns" launched by the North China Front Army.  ¡±, which has expanded the army from only 3 divisions, 6 brigades, and about 40,000 troops in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War to tens of millions of troops now.

    It also made the anti-Japanese base areas free fromThe former Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region expanded to present-day Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu, Chahar, Suiyuan and other places.

    At present, under the auspices of Okamura Neiji, the Japanese army decided to launch a brutal sweep of various defense areas of the Eighth Route Army starting from February 1943. The Eighth Route Army in Jidong was the first to bear the brunt.

    For the Jidong area, the North China Front originally planned to hand over the area to the puppet security forces for garrison, transfer the Japanese troops in the area southward, and strengthen the security on both sides of the railway south of Tianjin.

    However, due to the weak combat effectiveness of the security forces, in early January, these puppet troops carried out raids on the Jidong base area and were ambushed by the main force of the Jidong Eighth Route Army in the mountainous areas of Yutian and Zunhua. Both regiments were wiped out, and 7 people were killed.  The Japanese instructor was shot dead and a puppet leader was seriously injured.

    Therefore, Hechanan canceled the plan for the puppet army to independently defend Jidong, and at the end of January, he detached some troops from the 2nd Regiment of the Chinese Infantry Regiment stationed in Tianjin to form an integrated infantry brigade commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Taguchi Yusuke.  Strengthen Jidong's military strength.

    In addition, on January 28, the headquarters of the 27th Infantry Brigade of Major General Suzuki Keihisa, who was stationed in Cangxian County, was transferred to Tangshan to command the Japanese troops there to conduct a raid on the eastern Hebei area.

    After Suzuki's headquarters arrived in Tangshan, he commanded the 1st Chinese Infantry Regiment of Colonel Takeharu Taura who was originally stationed in Tangshan and the integrated brigade of Taguchi Shusuke to conduct a sweep against eastern Hebei in early February.

    The troops of the Jidong Military Region, which had just won the anti-mopping up victory, were in a very high fighting mood. On February 5, they fought against the enemy's integrated infantry brigade in Jiayu Village, Zunhua County, and achieved another great victory.  A large number of Japanese troops were wiped out, and Lieutenant Colonel Taguchi Shusuke was killed.

    However, in the continuous anti-mopping operations, Deputy Commander Bao Sen of the 13th Army Division in East Hebei died in the battle in mid-February.

    After this battle, the Japanese army realized that it was difficult to achieve the expected goal by raiding 18 counties in eastern Hebei with less than two regiments of troops.

    It was then decided that the 27th Division, which was responsible for guarding the eastern part of Hebei Province, would be responsible for the sweep of the Jidong area in accordance with the annual public security plan, and the 15th independent mixed brigade and the 9th independent garrison of the Kwantung Army stationed in Beijing would be responsible.  Collaboration.

    This sweep of Jidong was still commanded by Major General Suzuki Keihisa, commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade. His troops included two brigades each of Colonel Takeharu Taura's 1st Regiment of Chinese Garrisoned Infantry and Colonel Matsui Shinji's 2nd Regiment of Chinese Garrisoned Infantry.  , and the independent mixed 15th Brigade stationed in Peiping, a total of 5 infantry brigades.

    There are also the 2nd, 4th and 7th groups of the pseudo-security forces.

    According to the Japanese army¡¯s mopping-up plan, the Japanese army decided to use two brigades of Tianura Takeji¡¯s 1st Infantry Regiment to mop up the mountainous area east of Fengrun County and the southern part of Luan County.  Use the two brigades of Matsui Shinji's 2nd Infantry Regiment to sweep the mountainous areas in Yutian, Zunhua and the three corners west of Fengrun.  Major General Tanaka Qin's independent mixed 15th Brigade raided the Miyun, Jixian and Sanhe areas northeast of Beijing.

    In addition, it is rare for the 9th Independent Garrison of Major General Chuichiro Ando of the Kwantung Army stationed in Chengde and several brigades of other troops to provide support in the Xinglong area north of the Great Wall in Zunhua County and the Luanping area north of the Great Wall in Miyun County.  Belongs to the command of the 27th Infantry Regiment and the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade.

    The entire operation plan started on February 15. According to the plan, a sudden attack was launched to sweep and encircle.

    Subsequently, Takeharu Taura established his regiment in Fengrun County, north of the railway, and Shinji Matsui located his regiment in Yahongqiao in the south of Tamada County, commanding his troops to advance toward the eastern and northern mountainous areas.

    Facing the Japanese attack, the local troops of the Jidong Army Division and the main 11th, 12th, and 13th Regiments were broken into pieces, operating in small units, relying on the northern mountainous area to deal with the enemy.

    This raid caused huge losses to the Jidong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and also allowed the Japanese army to temporarily calm down the chaos in Jidong. Later, the Japanese army moved the targets of the raids to Jizhong, southern Hebei and Jiaodong areas.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
