It's harvest season.Naturally, this sweep by the Japanese army also included the task of collecting and grabbing grain.Depriving the guerrillas of food had always been a plan for them.This plan is included in the three-light policy, and it is to grab and burn out.Grab all the food, and don't leave it to the eight roads.If you can't snatch it away for a while, it's a fire.Anyway, it can't be left to the eight roads.This practice of the Japanese army has to be said to be really disgusting, but the effect is really good.The main force was better, and there was a big logistical support behind them, but the guerrillas were miserable, and they were often hungry and full.It is not uncommon to dig grass roots and gnaw tree bark when they are hungry.The most important thing is the scarcity of salt, after all, this thing can even be disposed of as war materials.If you don't have salt, you don't have the strength, how can you hold a gun and the little devil desperately look up, look at the sky, it's a plane, it's naturally a Japanese plane.Except for the Japanese army, no one here has planes.The Flying Tigers, which have been formed less than a year ago, with their planes, it is simply impossible to get here.Besides, they can't even hold themselves, so how can they have time to run this way.These planes did not seem to be coming this way, because there was no fighting here for the time being, and there were no reconnaissance planes in sight, so they dared to say that these planes were not coming for them.As for where to go, it is not clear.At the beginning of the May Day sweep, battles broke out in many places, and the Japanese offensive was also very rapid, and there was a great posture to solve all the Japanese troops in North China in one fell swoop.Even if it can't be solved, the anti-Japanese forces in North China that have to fight will not be able to turn over.Well, Okamura Ninji is thinking too much, and it is impossible to solve the affairs of North China at once.And he didn't have much time to concentrate on solving the problems of North China, after all, there were only three years left, of course, he didn't know it himself.He is still working hard for the grandeur of the Empire.If it really happens, then he is also a great hero, and it is indispensable to be a general.It's a pity, there are eagle sauces, they are destined to be impossible to succeed.After that, it's time to watch the Battle of Midway.These are all things that come later, and now the key is how to counter-sweep in the face of the Japanese army's sweep.Since the Japanese army can take the initiative to attack, then can't they also take the initiative to attack?
After learning about the movements of the Japanese army, they naturally tried to find a way to act in advance.So there was an arrangement above, which and which ambush the Japanese army, which and which to evacuate first, and so on.As for their new 16th Regiment, because the local location was a bit remote, the Japanese army had no time to take care of them, so they did not ask them to evacuate, and first cooperated with other teams to solve the Japanese army's sweeping troops.It will be an uphill battle, with hundreds of thousands of people mobilized on both sides, and even more.After all, the Japanese army came out with more than 50,000 people at once, and if they wanted to deal with it, the number must be only a lot more.And it's a lot more, and less doesn't work at all.The May Day sweep was sudden, and the Japanese army only targeted the central Hebei region.Although the intensity of the sweep in other places was not as strong as in Jizhong, it did not fall behind.No matter how strong the sweep is, what they should pay attention to should still be valued, and they can't be despised because the intensity is not enough.Although the new 16th Regiment was not within the scope of the Japanese sweep, they also had to send troops to support other brother units.Yoshio Shinozuka gritted his teeth at the new 16th regiment, but did not send troops to encircle and suppress it, because the road was a little far.Instead of wasting time and manpower to encircle and suppress them, it is better to clean up the eight roads around and use them to vent the fire first.This is what Yoshio Shinozuka thinks.He even felt that he could rely on this method to lure the new 16th Regiment into the bait.He is familiar with the Chinese art of war, knows how to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and also knows how to encircle and send reinforcements.All you need to do is surround a team and lure them in.And what can be used as this bait is naturally the headquarters of the 120th Division, which is not too far away.They can both hit the targets that pose the greatest threat to them and solve the targets that make him the most unhappy.Yoshio Shinozuka's combination of punches is very good, and he immediately arranged the team No, he wants to personally take command.He wanted to see with his own eyes the destruction of the new 16th Regiment under his powerful fighting power.The commander of the first army of the Japanese army in the North China Front was Yoshio Shinozuka.Although he has such a large team, the things he has to manage are all aspects, not only for the new 16th Regiment to make this plan.But there must be more troops against them than in other places, and there is also the headquarters of the 120th Division among them.Yoshio Shinozuka attaches great importance to this operation, and Okamura Ninji doesn't care about it either, he has to concentrate on Jizhong now.It is precisely because of Okamura Ninji's ignorance that Yoshio Shinozuka is more open to do it.So, on May 11, the day after the first sweep in Jizhong, the operation began according to the plan.This operation, Yoshio Shinozuka is highly secretive, and only a small number of high-level executives know about it.The Japanese soldiers only knew about it on the day of departure, and they only knew that they were going to leave, but they didn't know where they were going.Therefore, when some comrades got the news of the Japanese army, it was too late to spread it, and the Japanese army ran far away.No matter who the Japanese army was going to fight this time, it depended on the strength of the troops they dispatched, and the fact that they concealed it so much before they set off, and there was no news at all, which shows that the Japanese army's operation this time was definitely not small.After the large-scale dispatch of the Japanese army in Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Headquarters got the news.Mr.
Peng took a pen and drew on the map the possible direction and goals of the Japanese army, but he didn't gain anything, and he couldn't figure out what the goal of the Japanese army was.But he knew that this time Yoshio Shinozuka was definitely not small.Looking at the news that came, the Japanese army set off in the morning, and it is estimated that there will be news in the afternoon at the latest.Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the news came from the 120th Division, and they were swept up by the Japanese army on a large scale.The number of Japanese troops was about 8,000, which was about a brigade of the Japanese army.Its number has exceeded the number that the 120th Division headquarters can handle, and only a part of his team is stationed, and the rest of the team is scattered all over the place.Now it was suddenly attacked by the Japanese army, so it was forced to move and then issue an order to support the surrounding area.When they heard the news, everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect that the Japanese army would go directly to fight their division headquarters, and they didn't say a word, and immediately went to support.And the new 16th Regiment is not far from the division headquarters, so it is naturally supporting it
