Terauchi Shou nodded and said, "Xiangyue-kun, what you said is very good, these hateful dirt roads, the most terrifying thing about them, is their development speed and their tenacious vitality.They are like weeds, a gust of wind can blow their seeds everywhere, and then only a spring rain will take a clump of weeds to emerge.Moreover, these dirt roads are very cunning, and it is indeed not easy to completely exterminate them. ”Xiangyue Qingji nodded deeply and said, "Your Excellency Commander's Yu is very appropriate, so I will say that the Eighth Route Army will become a big problem for our North China Front, even if we can occupy North China, as long as we don't completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army, we will not be able to completely control North China." ”Terauchi Shou nodded and said, "What Kazuki-kun said is right, it's just that our Imperial Japanese Army, the first priority at present is to defeat the main force of the Shina government army and force the Shina government to surrender to our Great Japanese Empire."
As long as the government of China surrenders, our Great Japanese Empire will be able to control the entire country, and at that time, no matter how difficult these hateful dirt roads are, we will be able to completely annihilate them. ”Kazuki Kiyoji couldn't help but sigh, feeling helpless for a while, Kazuki Kiyoji suddenly felt that the root cause of his failure in this sweep was not because the Eighth Route Army was too powerful, or too cunning.It's just that I started the wrong war at the wrong time.If the Japanese army had waited until the government had been completely defeated before launching a sweep, the outcome might have been completely different.It's just that it's too late to say anything now, and although Kazuki Kiyoji's heart is full of unwillingness, everything is irreparable.Shou Kaichi glanced at Kiyoshi Kazuki, sighed softly and said, "Kazuki-kun, you have worked hard this time, then you go back to rest first" "Hai Na's humble duty will not disturb His Excellency the Commander" Kiyoshi Kazuki then said, bowed slightly, and then got up and left.Shouichi Terauchi looked at the lonely back of Kiyoshi Kazuki, and suddenly felt a little pity for this unlucky guy.Originally, Terauchi Shouichi asked Kazuki Kiyoji to be in charge of the sweep, because he didn't want him to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, so as not to oppose this annoying guy again, Terauchi Shouichi didn't expect that this sweep would end in a fiasco.The Japanese army suffered such heavy losses, which made Terauchi Shou Ichishin very angry, and perhaps the only thing to be happy about was to finally get rid of the annoying guy Seiji Kazuki.Naturally, the Japanese will not admit that the purge failed, because that would seriously affect morale and even more so Japan's image in the international community.Therefore, although the Japanese army was completely defeated in this sweep of the Hebei region, all the major newspapers in Japan, as well as some newspapers in the areas occupied by the Japanese army, all appeared reports about the sweep and the complete victory of the Japanese army.The Japanese trumpeted the victory of the sweep, claiming that they had annihilated more than 10,000 main forces of the Eighth Route Army, and that the Eighth Route Army in the Hebei region had been completely annihilated, leaving only some remnants of the defeated army and still operating in the Hebei region, but they could no longer pose any threat to the Japanese army.The Japanese seem to be born with this ability to brag and deceive themselves.As the supreme commander of the sweep, Kiyoji Kazuki also cooperated with the Japanese propaganda department to put on a good show.When interviewed by reporters.Kazuki Kiyoshi Tian shamelessly advocated how he had led the brave Imperial Japanese Army of LinkedIn to easily annihilate the main force of the Ji Eighth Route Army through strict deployment this time.No one could discover the deep sense of loss behind the performance of Kazuki Kiyoji's eyebrows.But after completing this series of performances, Kazuki Kiyoji boarded the ship to return to China at the port of Tianjin, returned to China in disgrace, and was transferred to the reserve not long after, completely ending his military career.This is still the little devil's previous merits, and he didn't send this old devil to a military court.Kiyoji Kazuki, who was burdened with such a stain, did not pay again until Japan was completely defeated.The Japanese army, which suffered heavy losses, withdrew from the Hebei region one after another under the order of Kazuki Kiyoji.With the cooperation of friendly forces, the Hebei Military Region completely smashed the enemy's summer sweep.In this anti-sweeping operation, our Eighth Route Army fought bravely and won a brilliant victory in annihilating more than 10,000 Japanese puppet troops.After the battle, Li Guotao led his troops back to the Xiaozhangzhuang station, and the hundreds of militia guerrillas who followed Li Guotao were left with only more than 200 people after a great battle.However, due to the heavy losses of the Anguo County Brigade before, more than 200 people were all incorporated into the Anguo County Brigade team sequence.After the Battle of Dingzhou, these recruits have grown from a group of recruits to a real soldier, and Li Guotao believes that as long as he is given a period of training, these soldiers can become excellent soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.Even so, at this time, there were only about 500 people left in the Anguo County Brigade, which was much less before the war.But these are only temporary, after the battle, after Commander Meng asked the military region, he directly ordered the Anguo County Brigade to be reorganized into the Anguo Independent Regiment, and since then it has really entered the ranks of the main force.According to the past practice of the Eighth Route Army, a local unit like the Anguo County Brigade could be reorganized into an independent regiment after the strength of more than 1,000 troops.Although the Anguo County Brigade now has only more than 500 people, in view of the outstanding performance and brilliant achievements of the Anguo County Brigade in this anti-sweeping campaign, the Military Region made an exception and upgraded the Anguo County Brigade to an independent regiment ahead of schedule.As for the missing soldiers, according to Commander Meng's order, the more than 200 wounded who had stayed in Xiaozhangzhuang to recuperate from their wounds could be directly incorporated into the Anguo Independent Regiment after returning from their injuries.As for the rest of the soldiers, they can only recruit new recruits on their own.However, in this anti-sweeping operation, the Eighth Route Army captured a lot, and Commander Meng specially ordered someone to send a reinforced battalion of weapons and equipment, so that with the weapons and equipment of the previous Anguo County Brigade, the current Anguo Independent Regiment has enough weapons and equipment to arm 1,500 people.As for the problem of soldiers, it is not a problem at all, the country has never lacked people, especially the victory of this anti-sweep, which played the prestige of the Eighth Route Army and made the Eighth Route Army famous.A wave of enthusiasm for joining the army has been set off in various parts of the Hebei region, so the Angolan Independent Regiment is not worried about not being able to recruit soldiers at all.Ask for a monthly pass AA2705221:
