Xia Yang and his party only stayed in Mancheng for three days before leaving here.
On the third day, he and Zhang Huaili went to check the dug tunnel.
After confirming that the tunnels could still lead to the outside of the city, Xia Yang asked Zhang Huaili to seal the entrances and exits of the tunnels again. Wait until needed before digging.
Afterwards, Xia Yang took a few people to Shijiazhuang, not far from Baoding.
¡°It¡¯s actually very dangerous for them to go there.
Because that is where the headquarters of Japan¡¯s North China Expeditionary Force is located. After taking over the North China Expeditionary Force, Okamura Neiji moved the headquarters here to facilitate the overall command of operations in the entire Hebei region.
He also realized that after capturing Shanxi, Xia Yang's next goal is likely to be Hebei, which connects the Beijing-Tianjin area and the Central Plains.
Once they captured Hebei, they cut off several important railway lines. Then the Japanese army in China was like a snake that was cut in half. The leaders and tail cannot care about each other and can only fight on their own.
Therefore, Okamura Neiji¡¯s defense focus was placed on several important transportation lines in the Hebei region.
He ordered his troops to build a large number of defensive trenches and bunkers in the cities along the way and along the railway lines. These defense facilities are not only to deal with Xia Yang's troop attacks in the future, but also to prevent guerrillas from attacking the railway.
A few months ago, the main force of the Eighth Route Army dispersed into Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other regions. The security pressure on the Japanese troops here has increased a lot.
Now the activities of the guerrillas have almost reached the point of rampage. This gave Okamura Neji a headache.
Xia Yang followed a caravan that entered Shijiazhuang and also came to this central city in Hebei Province.
It is very close to Peking and Tianjin.
When he walked into the gate of Shijiazhuang City, Xia Yang couldn't help but think about when he could lead his troops to recover this great river and mountain.
The reason why I came to Shijiazhuang was to fulfill an appointment made by someone.
This person is none other than Li Yunlong, the former leader of the Independent Regiment.
At this time, Li Yunlong and Xia Yang had been separated for several months, and they were still the same group leader.
"However, the commanders of the Eighth Route Army are often very worthy of study.
Because some Eighth Route Army commanders may really have only 1,800 people under their command. But some regiment leaders are nominally regimental leaders, but they may have ten battalions under their command, and each battalion may have more than a thousand people.
Li Yunlong¡¯s independent group is the latter.
His independent regiment, while cooperating with Xia Yang to regain Shanxi, expanded rapidly because it captured a large amount of Japanese armaments.
So for a while, Li Yunlong had to report less to his superiors on the number of enemies he had wiped out because he was afraid that the brigade commander would take away too much of his equipment.
The agreed place was none other than Piaoxiang Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in Shijiazhuang at that time.
The boss here is a Japanese, so this is not only a place where many dignitaries drink and have fun, but many high-ranking Japanese military officers also come here to party.
Xia Yang¡¯s ANBU once planted spies here to facilitate intelligence collection, and the effect was remarkable.
This time when they entered Piaoxiang Tower, Xia Yang and Hu San no longer looked like businessmen from the northwest. Instead, he changed into a suit, obtained some documents, and transformed into a high-level intellectual from Peking.
In addition to simple disguise, Xia Yang also got a pair of glasses, which made him look elegant. I don¡¯t know, I really thought he was a professor from some university.
And after years of training, Song Yumo was able to curb the murderous aura in his body. At this time, he was just like a harmless little book boy, following Xia Yang.
As for Hu San, because his appearance was too vicious, Xia Yang sent him and Sun Qi to contact their ANBU members in Shijiazhuang City.
After entering the restaurant, Xia Yang and Song Yumo sat down in the corner.
He looked at his watch and said, "They still have more than half an hour to arrive. Let's wait a while."
"Okay!" Song Yumo said, then lowered her head, opened a book given to her by Xia Yang, and read it carefully.
If you really look at it this way, she really looks like a little book boy who studies seriously. But in fact, Song Yumo was just showing off with this book.
The book is called "Fog"In the book "All Orphans", she didn't understand what was written in it at all.
Xia Yang also pretended to take out Rabindranath Tagore's "The Birds" and started reading.
"Can I sit here for a moment?"
A woman's voice came from behind the book. Xia Yang put down the book and saw a woman wearing an officer's uniform standing opposite him.
The moment he saw the woman, Xia Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up with a smile, and bowed very gentlemanly: "Of course, it is an honor for me, Xia, to sit at the same table with such a beautiful lady. ah."
This woman is none other than Lily Ogawa.
Because Piaoxianglou is run by Japanese people, sake produced in Japan is supplied here, so she often comes back here to have a few drinks.
When she came here today, Lily Ogawa originally wanted to go to the private room and have a few drinks alone.
But as soon as she entered the door, she saw the book in Xia Yang's hand in the corner - "The Collection of Flying Birds"
On her desktop, there was also such a collection of poems.
Tagore is the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and has written many extremely beautiful poems. "The Collection of Flying Birds" is one of his works.
Although Lily Ogawa is planning every day, how to defeat Xia Yang and how to exterminate those guerrillas who are like locusts. But in her spare time, she likes to read poems.
She once thought about it, if it weren't for the war. She might not have been forced by her father to attend the Army Academy, but would have entered the Department of Literature at the University of Tokyo, and now she would have become a freelance writer rather than a strategizing military staff officer.
"Thank you very much!" Lily Ogawa smiled at Xia Yang and sat down opposite Xia Yang. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
