    After solving the problem in eastern Hebei, Okamura Ningji immediately mobilized his troops and launched a full-scale attack on the Chinese army in southern Hebei.

    Regarding the purpose of this battle, Okamura Neiji was relatively clear. He clearly mentioned it in the telegram sent to the frontline troops: "The goal of this battle is to defeat the national and communist armies in southern Hebei and expand the security area. Occupy Hebei  In the southern region, we cut off the source of food and clothing for the Communist Army in the Taihang Mountains in southern Hebei. To paralyze the Jizhong Military Region, it gave it the illusion of concealing its intention to attack Jizhong, and to coordinate with the 1st Army in Shanxi to sweep into southeastern Shanxi."

    Through reconnaissance, the Japanese army learned that Yi Liangpin's New 7th Brigade of the Southern Hebei Military Region was located west of Wuguan Village; Xu Shenji's New 4th Brigade was located near Xiangchenggu, east of Qiu County; Zhang Weihan's New 8th Brigade was located north of Wei County  area; the Kuomintang Army Gao Shuxun's 39th Group Army is stationed in Puyang, Liuxiatun, and Pucheng.

    It was immediately decided that this battle would be commanded by Tu Qiao, the commander of the 12th enemy army stationed in Jinan, with a total strength of 14 infantry brigades, including 5 brigades and 1 infantry regiment, to attack Ji from the southeast, southwest, west, and northeast.  Southern region.

    In Jin County, a brigade from Shulu and Hengshui attacked from north to south to provide support.

    The targets of the attack are: first, the New 7th Brigade and the New 4th Brigade in the Jinan Military Region of the Eighth Route Army; second, the 39th Group Army of the Kuomintang Army Gao Shuxun.

    The specific deployment of the Japanese army is as follows: Huimin Yoshidaro's independent mixed 7th brigade will advance to the front line of the old city and the camp north of the military attache with 5 infantry brigades; Yoshida Minetaro stationed in Xingtai will form an independent mixed 8th brigade.  The brigade used two infantry brigades to advance to the Chuiyang Village area southwest of Wu Guanzhai, encircling and annihilating the New 7th Brigade located near Wu Guanzhai from the north and west.

    Suzuki Sadatsuki, who was stationed in Xingtai, formed an independent 1st Brigade and marched eastward from Quzhou and Pingxiang with three infantry brigades to encircle the new 4th Brigade in the Xiangchenggu area east of Jianqiu County.

    Major General Kazuo Kitagawa, commander of the 35th Infantry Regiment stationed in Kaifeng, and his three infantry brigades; Sakuma's 4th Cavalry Brigade encircled and annihilated the 39th Group Army in the Puyang, Liuxiatun, and Pucheng areas.

    The first section of the 212th Regiment of the 32nd Division's Fourth Colonel Huito is still conducting raids in the areas west and south of Yuncheng to support operations in the Gucheng, Qiuxian, and Puyang areas.

    In addition, the North China Front determined that after the 12th Army's sweep of southern Hebei began, Chishang Xianjizhi who was stationed in Shulu would independently form the main force of the 9th Brigade and advance to the areas south of Shulu, Jinxian, and Mocheng, and surround Hebei from the north.  In the southern region, support the 12th Army's operations and paralyze the Jizhong Military Region.

    The 12th Army decided to use the main force of the 32nd Division and part of the 35th Division stationed in Yanzhou to attack Gao Shuxun's 39th Group Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Tetsuzo Ide.

    In order to prevent the reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army, this operation was kept extremely confidential from preparation to implementation. The real notices and orders were all dictated in person, while the printed and written notices, orders, and telephone records were all fake documents.

    The military command post was not moved from Jinan to Linqing in the front until the third day after the start of the operation to prevent it from being discovered by the reconnaissance personnel of the anti-Japanese forces.

    On the night of February 28, the enemy used a large number of vehicles to transport the troops to the predetermined assembly point; the 4th Cavalry Brigade ran quickly throughout the night and reached the Bagong Bridge in the southeast of Puyang.

    At this time, the enemy forces under the direct command of the North China Front Army to conduct a large-scale sweep of the Jizhong Military Region were also preparing to start operations on March 1.

    At dawn on March 1, five brigades commanded by the 12th Army began a large-scale sudden attack on the areas east of the Ping-Han Railway, south of the Shi-De Railway, west of the canal, and north of the Yellow River.

    Subsequently, the independent mixed 9th Brigade in the Shulu, Jinxian, and Haocheng areas also attacked the area south of the Shide Railway as planned, and conducted a feint against the Central Hebei Military Region.

    At this time, the anti-Japanese troops in the base area had been reduced to pieces. Many people changed into plain clothes to mingle with the people and deal with the enemy on the spot.

    The first group, based on the enemy's situation, branched out of the encirclement and moved from the enemy's weak areas to the outer lines.

    In order to facilitate night activities, the public was mobilized to kill all the dogs to prevent them from barking at night and leaking secrets.  Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's main force has entered the base area, the anti-Japanese troops immediately moved to the vicinity of the enemy's stronghold to hide or attack the enemy and puppets to contain the mopping up enemy.

    After the sudden attack, the Japanese mopping up troops immediately looked for the main force of the anti-Japanese troops to fight.

    Starting from March 3, key areas within the base area were divided into "iron walls" and queued up to conduct "comb-and-grate" sweeps. People were forcibly gathered in each village to screen and "pick out" anti-Japanese personnel.  ", and carried out "reporting" and "surrender" activities in each village.

    At the same time, the puppet regime was established, implemented the Baojia system, organized patrol teams to check people entering and leaving the village day and night, and dug trenches around the village and at various transportation points to prevent the anti-Japanese troops from contacting the people.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? High attackThe 35th Infantry Regiment, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and the 212th Infantry Regiment of the 39th Group Army attacked Puyang with their main force as planned.

    The defenders had already evacuated Puyang City and attacked the Japanese troops outside the city.

    But what was unexpected was that at the most critical moment of the battle, Sun Liangcheng, who had lost confidence in the war, was so overwhelmed by the temporary victory of the Japanese army in the Pacific and Southeast Asia that he openly surrendered to the enemy with about 25,000 troops and issued a declaration of joining.  The "peace camp" received power and also accepted the appointment as commander-in-chief of the 2nd Front of the Peace and National Salvation Army and director of the Kaifeng Appeasement Office entrusted by the Wang puppet regime.

    In an instant, the 39th Group Army crossed the Yellow River south, crossed the Longhai Railway, and retreated to the Woyang area in northern Anhui.

    The 4th Japanese Cavalry Brigade then pursued them to the south of Longhai Road.

    After defeating Gao Shuxun¡¯s troops, the Japanese army immediately concentrated its main force on attacking other troops in the Hebei-Cha theater, including the Jiujiu Army and some units of the 24th Group Army, which were all within the attack range of the Japanese army.

    In order to wipe out the Kuomintang and Communist armies in southern Hebei in one fell swoop, Okamura Ningji once again mobilized troops from Shanxi and Hebei and other places. In just one week, he assembled 5 divisions and was ready to fight the main decisive battle with the Kuomintang and Communist armies.

    When the news reached Datong, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops on the southern front to be broken into pieces. The main force jumped out of the Japanese encirclement to avoid a main force duel with them, avoid the sharp edge, and attack the flanks of the Japanese army.

    At the same time, Li Guoyao asked Xu Hu to return to the southern front in person to preside over the battle!

    After returning to the southern front, Xu Hu immediately ordered the troops on the southern front to withdraw from Guantao, Daming and other places in regiment units. Part of the main force withdrew to the Taihang Mountains, and the other part of the troops withdrew to Western Shandong.

    When the main force of the Japanese army swept through southern Hebei, Xu Hu immediately commanded the main force of the 194th Division to sneak attack Liaocheng. Although only more than a thousand enemies were wiped out in this battle, it greatly frightened the Japanese and puppet troops and forced the 12th Army to deploy troops.  Return to Liaocheng.

    The withdrawal of Japanese troops from southern Hebei immediately caused a loophole in the previously complete encirclement. Then the Jiujiu Division, which had been hiding in the Taihang Mountains, quickly attacked and separated the Japanese Suzuki Sadatsuki into the 1st Brigade and surrounded Handan City.

    The female brigade also took the initiative and fought with Sun Liangcheng's troops who had surrendered to the enemy in Daming City. They ate up two and a half regiments of the enemy within two days and achieved a good record.

    And Okamura Neiji was unwilling to fail, and immediately ordered the troops on the Feixiang and Nangong lines to go south again to completely eliminate the national army in southern Hebei.

    The two sides then fought for a week on the Handan, Wei County, and Daming lines. Although Xu Hu's troops failed to completely annihilate the Suzuki brigade, they disabled Sun Liangcheng's troops.

    Then, seeing that the Japanese army was too powerful and unable to defeat the enemy, Xu Hu finally ordered the troops to withdraw into the Taihang Mountains again, preparing to reorganize the army and fight again.

    "The Japanese army also occupied a large amount of territory at once and was unable to continue the attack for a while, so they did not pursue it.

    After nearly two months of mopping up operations, Okamura Neiji not only pacified the eastern Hebei region, but also regained southern Hebei. In addition, he had previously destroyed the Sulu theater. Less than a year after taking office, Okamura Neiji  Also achieved good results.

    But it was also in his hands that the Japanese army lost Suixi, Suidong, northern Shanxi and Chabei, as well as an infantry division and a cavalry group. In general, the merits were equal to the fault.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
