    Of course, for Neji Okamura, he will naturally not be satisfied with such a record.

    Who is Neji Okamura? He is known as one of Japan's three and a half strategists. He is recognized as a god of war in the Japanese military. He is often used as a firefighter. How can he accept such a result?

    So, a larger-scale public security plan was successfully launched!

    This time the Japanese army decided to launch a thorough cleanup of the anti-Japanese forces in the Jiaodong Peninsula and central Hebei area. In the Jiaodong area, the Japanese army dispatched the independent mixed 5th brigade of Major General Uchida Ginnosuke stationed in Qingdao and Lieutenant General Kawase Shiro stationed in Qingdao.  The 3rd China Repatriation Fleet.

    The strength of the Japanese army in the Jiaodong Peninsula is actually not strong, and is even a bit weak. There is only one independent mixed brigade of the army, and it is stationed in various strongholds. According to its total number of troops, it is 5,048. Each time it is dispatched to sweep away the entrenched troops,  Outside of the troops at the stronghold, there were fewer combatants.

    Therefore, the anti-Japanese situation in Jiaodong has developed rapidly in recent years, especially after the Eighth Route Army entered the Jiaodong Peninsula and established the Jiaodong Military Region, which shocked the Japanese army greatly.

    After suffering several powerful blows from the Jiaodong Military Region, the Japanese army became more timid and went out together with the independent mixed 6th Brigade stationed in Zhangdian when they went deep into the anti-Japanese base areas to raid.

    According to Okamura Neiji¡¯s order, after the main force in the Sulu theater was annihilated or driven out of Shandong, the anti-Japanese forces in the Jiaodong area were already in a state of being unable to support themselves, so he ordered the 12th Army to immediately launch a large-scale raid on the Jiaodong area.

    According to the operational plan formulated by the North China Front Army Headquarters, this sweep is divided into two phases. In the first phase, two brigades will quickly advance eastward to capture the Jagged Mountain, Qingshan and Zhaoyuan areas in the Qixia area, and defeat the enemy forces in the area.  Jiaodong Anti-Japanese Forces.

    The second phase is to conduct repeated raids on the above-mentioned captured areas; in the eastern part of the peninsula, we will cooperate with the local garrison and navy to raid Weihai, Wendeng, Shidao and other places.

    On March 5, two Japanese brigades attacked the Qixia area. The 5th independent brigade blocked the road from Laiyang to Yantai and advanced to the northern mountainous area.  The 6th Duhun Brigade advanced from the north of Laiyang to the east.  After six days and six nights of fighting in this mountainous area, the troops of the Jiaodong Military Region and Wu Kehua's brigade moved their positions.

    In mid-March, these two Japanese brigades occupied a mountainous area in Qixia and Zhaoyuan.

    The 19th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army in Yantai in the eastern part of the peninsula, the Marine Corps in Weihai, and the gunboat unit of the Northern Surveillance Force at sea cooperated in the coastal areas east of Weihai and Rongcheng Bay, Sanjing Bay, and Shidao Bay.  They blocked nearby sea traffic, and with the cooperation of Qingdao Navy and Air Force, Weihai, Wendeng, Shidao and other places were raided.

    The two Japanese brigades conducted raids for about 20 days and began to retreat at the end of March.

    During the raid, all evil was committed in the base area, burning, killing and looting everywhere. However, the Jiaodong troops fought back heroically, uprooting many enemy strongholds with weak defenses and cracking down on counterfeiting activities.

    While raiding the Jiaodong area, the Japanese army also launched a comprehensive raid on the Chinese army in the central Hebei area.

    In the 1943 mopping up operations across North China planned by the Japanese army, Jizhong was the focus.

    Beginning in March, the Japanese army carried out combat preparations under extremely confidential conditions, and at the same time conducted multiple reconnaissances of the surrounding situation in Jizhong.

    In mid-March, Seizo Arimoe, the deputy chief of staff in charge of government affairs, sent a staff officer in charge of government affairs to Baoding to study how to use force as the backing to launch a political offensive.  The special agents of the Japanese army also used radio reconnaissance, listening and recording to decipher the telegram code of the Central Hebei Military Region. Through radio direction finding, they learned that the headquarters of the Central Hebei Military Region has been moving frequently within its defense zone in recent times.  Usually no more than three days and so on.

    By late March, the North China Front Army Headquarters had formulated an operational plan for central Hebei. The operational policy was to launch a sudden encirclement and attack on the main force of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei, with Lu Zhengcao as the commander, destroy its base areas, and adopt political, economic, ideological and other measures.  measures to make it a law and order area.

    In order to achieve this strategic goal, the Japanese army deployed a large number of elite troops to participate in the battle, including the 4 main infantry brigades of the 41st Division of Nori Shimizu; the 110th Cavalry Brigade of Lieutenant Colonel Kashima Takeshi; and the independent mixed 9th Brigade of Kenkichi Ikegami.  , two infantry brigades; 4 brigades of the 110th Infantry Brigade of Major General Shirataki Rishiro of the 110th Division; two infantry brigades of the 12th Independent Infantry Regiment of Colonel Yoshitaro Sakamoto; Colonel Ogawa Cedar of the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade  29th Independent Infantry Battalion.

    After the Japanese occupation of North China, in order to cut off the communication between the anti-Japanese troops and facilitate their counterfeiting, they dug many partition trenches and road protection trenches in the plain areas and on both sides of the railway, and built along these trenches, trenches and roads near  There are large and small bunkers facing each other to prevent the activities of the Eighth Route Army, anti-Japanese troops and local party and government agencies.

    The 110th Division located in Shijiazhuang, in order to cut off the connection between the Eighth Route Army and the Jizhong area in the western and northern mountainous areas; and prevent the transportation of grain, cotton, daily necessities and military supplies from Jizhong into the mountainous areas, the division was in its defense area. In the spring of 1943  , they actually dug more than 3,900 kilometers of road protection trenches and partition trenches, and built more than 1,300 bunkers.

    In addition, the 110th Division also recruited a large number of migrant workers to build hundreds of kilometers of stone walls along the mountain at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain. The wall is about two meters high and one meter wide, with stone walls built at regular intervals.  Bunkers and troops were built to prevent the Eighth Route Army and local anti-Japanese armed forces from passing through the Taihang Mountains to the eastern plains from these areas. The Japanese army called this stone wall a "miniature Great Wall."

    North China is connected to the four northeastern provinces in the east and close to Outer Mongolia in the north.  North China's large amounts of coal, steel, salt, cotton, etc. are also important strategic materials.

    The Japanese army was well aware of the importance of its strategic position. Therefore, before and after the start of the Pacific War, in order to consolidate its strategic and resource base in North China, it stepped up its "public security operations." According to statistics from the 110th Division, from January to April 1943  In August, the division fought 205 times with the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army sacrificed 10,191 people and captured 6,462 people.

    Before the start of the Jizhong campaign, Ogawa Xuesong's 29th Independent Infantry Battalion built a horizontal dam on the Fuyang River near Wuqiang, causing the water level to rise and overflow the river bed.  The flat land flowing over both sides of the river formed a large land barrier, preventing the defenders from passing through the area.

    Although the Japanese army prepared for operations against central Hebei in extremely secretive circumstances, the Shanxi, Chacha, and Hebei military regions, the central Hebei military region, and military subdivisions had learned from various intelligence networks in the enemy-occupied areas that the enemy generals were conducting raids.  information.

    When the enemy began to gather troops to prepare for the attack, the Jizhong Military Region took the initiative with part of its troops at the end of March and attacked Li County, Boye and Anguo counties guarded by the enemy's 163rd Regiment.

    In order to contain the enemy and disrupt the enemy's plan, General Yang Chengwu's 1st Army Division and Huang Yongsheng's 3rd Army Division north of Pinghan Road also followed orders and attacked areas near the railway where the enemy's 110th Division was weak.

    On the evening of March 30, the 29th Xiaochuan Xuesong Brigade located in Hejian began a sudden attack to the area north of Suning, and then changed the direction of the attack to attack the area on the north bank of the Hutuo River.

    Rishiro Shirataki established his infantry regiment in Anguo and commanded the 163rd Regiment to be divided into two routes, Anguo and Boye. The 1st Battalion of the 101st Regiment was to go south from Li County to besiege Madian and Xinying on the north bank of the Hutuo River.  , Hejiazhuang area of ??the 7th Army Division of Hebei Province.

    At the same time, the 3rd Brigade of the 139th Regiment near Dingxian was ordered to set off from Dingxian, the 12th Independent Infantry Regiment all the way from Xinle, and the 110th Cavalry Brigade from Wuji to encircle Xingyi Town north of the Hutuo River and  Another unit of the 7th Army Division nearby.

    At this time, the 9th independent mixed brigade located on the Shide Railway attacked southward from the Shulu area on April 1 as a feint to deceive the Central Hebei Military Region and prevent troops from the Southern Hebei Military Region from destroying the Shide Railway.

    When the Japanese army began to sweep away, the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region attacked the enemy at random in order to avoid their sharp edges and reduce losses. The troops were divided into small units and carried out activities separately. Some of them wore plain clothes and worked with the people to use villages, traffic ditches and tunnels to resist.

    From April 1st to 10th, Shirataki Rishiro commanded the 163rd and 101st Regiments, the 12th Independent Infantry Regiment, and the 110th Cavalry Brigade, and Ogawa Xuesong commanded the 29th Independent Infantry Brigade in Hutuo Hebei for repeated raids.

    Following the raids, the pseudo-security forces, the Xinminhui, the Propaganda Class, the Communist Abolition Committee and the special agents convened mass meetings to carry out various propaganda and counterfeiting activities, and repeatedly carried out "the future of kingship" and "the end of communism".  Reactionary propaganda was carried out at the same time to "pick" and "report" among the people, and to investigate Communist Party members, government personnel, and military personnel.
