    "I am Xia Yang, and I will definitely let my army take good care of you." The fictional Xia Yang said.

    Lily Ogawa said: "Perhaps, I should call you Xia Yang's shadow, but this name is too difficult to pronounce. I think it's good to call you a Japanese name, why not call you Natsume Yangchuan!"

    Natsume Yangchuan obviously didn't like this name, and immediately retorted: "You Japanese people do things like aggression precisely because you don't know how to respect others."

    Lily Ogawa didn't care about Natsume Yogawa's rebuttal. She chuckled and waved her hands: "Really? Winners and losers. If we capture China, maybe a hundred years later, your descendants will look back on this war."  When the time comes, they will even sing praises for us!ˇ±

    After saying this, she looked at her small army green alarm clock. At that time, the hand had already pointed to about four o'clock in the morning.

    Lily Ogawa yawned and said, "Okay, it's too late. You will stay with me for many days in the future. You can't leave until I defeat Xia Yang. Do you understand?"

    "I think there is a high probability that you will be the one who is defeated." The Natsume Yogawa who was invented by her said.

    Lily Ogawa chuckled and stretched, like a lioness full of power.

    Xia Yang sneezed, rubbed his nose, and continued to wander in his sleep.

    Time has entered the Spring Festival of 1942, and the entire Shanxi region is in a festive atmosphere.

    In more than two months after capturing Shanxi, Xia Yang's Fourth Army eliminated the remaining Japanese forces in Shanxi in a short period of time.

    At this time, the actual control of the entire Shanxi region was in the hands of Xia Yang's Fourth Army.

    The people living on this land have changed into something else in just two months.

    Wherever Xia Yang's troops go, they will carry out corresponding social transformation.

    Although no more thorough land reform was carried out, Xia Yang took advantage of this opportunity to return most of the occupied land to the bottom farmers.

    As for some squires who held large tracts of land, Xia Yang sent people to negotiate with them and put these lands under the name of the Fourth Army through peaceful redemption and other policies.

    ?Then the Fourth Army distributed it to the farmers for free so that they could plant it.

    At the same time, he also clearly stipulated that activities such as land annexation are prohibited.

    In this way, the productivity of the entire Shanxi has been greatly liberated.

    On hundreds of miles of fertile fields, seeds have been sown into the soil.  You can imagine what it will be like next June when the wheat is harvested.

    But Xia Yang was not among such festive scenes.

    To be precise, he is no longer in Shanxi, but has gone to another place, a place he was once very familiar with.

    The city is full of people!

    During the Battle of Manchuria, this small town was almost blown to pieces by Japanese artillery shells.  But as time went by, the people living here rebuilt the city in a short period of time.

    A large number of caravans from the northwest have to transit and rest in this small town.

    As long as there are people, there will be fireworks here.

    With the smoke of fireworks, the trauma caused by the war to this small town will be slowly healed by the carriages coming and going and the noisy hawking in the early morning market.

    After the Japanese army was defeated in Shanxi, it turned Mancheng into a new military fortress.

    In fact, not only the whole city, but also the cities near Shanxi were basically transformed into military fortresses by the Japanese army.

    They made the walls all over the city taller and thicker, and at the same time built a large number of barricades in the streets all over the city.

    Not only that, they also built a large number of defensive positions, permanent fortifications, as well as a large number of bunkers, strongholds, etc. on various roads outside the city.

    The Japanese army was originally in Mancheng, with only one squadron stationed there.

    After the defeat in Shanxi, the number of troops garrisoned here also increased to more than 2,000 in one regiment.

    Not far east from Mancheng is Baoding.

    As a city in central Hebei, there are many railway lines passing through here.  Once this area is occupied, the Japanese army can cut off a large number of railways and roads connecting the north and south.

    Not only that, once this place is occupied, the armored troops can advance to northern China in only half a day.The core city of Peking!

    So the importance of this place is naturally self-evident.

    After Okamura Neiji took over the post of commander-in-chief of the North China Expeditionary Force, he attached great importance to the defense here.

    An independent mixed brigade was directly dispatched and stationed in the Baoding area.

    In addition to the existing security forces and puppet troops.  The number of troops in the surrounding areas of Baoding has exceeded 40,000.

    At this time, the Baoding area has not become more peaceful than before due to the strengthening of defense.

    Because a few months ago, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops from Shanxi turned into guerrillas and entered a large number of rural areas in Hebei that were beyond the control of the Japanese army.

    Then these damn guerrillas began to attack Japanese defense facilities around Baoding, even destroying roads and railways, and ambushing their transportation teams.

    This gave Minghui Changzhi, the police chief of Baoding area, a headache.

    In Mancheng, in the private room on the second floor of the most upscale restaurant in the city, several businessmen from the northwest were sitting on the Eight Immortals table, tasting the cold dishes here.

    "The chef here has changed."

    One of the men with a slight beard on his face said while holding cold dishes with chopsticks.

    ˇ°Obviously, he has been here before.  Next to him, a bearded man said: "That is to say, the taste is not as good as before."

    "You still eat it if it doesn't taste good. I should have been reunited with my wife and children at home, but you insisted on dragging me here. It's really"

    Another thin man said, somewhat complaining.

    There was also a long-haired young man sitting on a chair, eating with his head down. He only occasionally raised his head and glanced at a few people with his big, watery eyes.

    The man with a slight beard on his face smiled and took off his felt hat, revealing a very young but weather-beaten face.

    This person is none other than Xia Yang after his disguise.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
