    The Japanese forward observation post just now was one of the bombing targets marked by the reconnaissance troops.

    The Japanese army had quite a few defensive positions outside Peiping City.  Many of them were solid reinforced concrete offensives.

    But after passing Juyong Pass, they really had no dangerous terrain to rely on.  We can only rely on the permanent fortifications built outside the city to resist layer by layer.

    The Japanese army originally planned to support the two brigades in Zhangjiakou. Not to mention supporting Zhangjiakou, they did not even support Juyong Pass.

    Helpless, they could only enter these permanent fortifications.

    But the previous battle in Zhangjiakou made these Japanese soldiers understand a truth.

    That is, these fortifications, in the face of large-scale armored cluster attacks, can actually exert very limited effects.

    The most it can do is slow down the pace of their attack. It is almost impossible to completely block it.

    But Okamura Neji gave a death order. They must stay here for at least two days, waiting for the Kwantung Army's support troops to arrive.

    Otherwise, Beiping City is really in danger of falling.

    That sound of artillery fire not only destroyed a forward observation post of the Japanese army, but also announced to the Japanese army outside Peiping City and the people in the city that our Fourth Army is coming!  !

    When a cannon was fired outside Peiping City, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Hebei area began to launch a fierce attack on the empty Hebei area in the evening.

    Outside Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army assembled a main force of more than 50,000 people. In less than three hours, the entire city was surrounded and impregnated.

    This is not all the troops of the 115th Division. There are other troops, large and small, in other areas at this time.  The troops gathered here by the Eighth Route Army are only part of this combat division.

    At this time, the Japanese army in Cangzhou City only had one brigade with less than a thousand troops.

    However, after careful consideration, the commander of the 115th Division decided to encircle rather than attack. Then, he deployed a large number of ambush troops and built a large number of blocking positions on several necessary roads leading to Cangzhou City.

    They planned to encircle the spot for reinforcements and attract Japanese troops from other surrounding counties, thereby consuming the effective strength of the Japanese army to the greatest extent.

    In this way, they can eliminate more elite Japanese troops while attacking only one city.

    As expected, after the Japanese troops in Cangzhou City suffered several simple attacks, they immediately began to request reinforcements from several surrounding counties.

    The Japanese troops in Cangzhou City did not know how many people were in the main force of the Eighth Route Army surrounding them.

    They didn¡¯t know that when they called for reinforcements at this time, they were pushing the surrounding Japanese troops into the fire pit.

    Not only in Cangzhou, but also in other areas, even in the Pingjin area, the main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared around the counties occupied by the Japanese army.

    In Peiping City, the Eighth Route Army¡¯s propaganda troops even appeared, distributing a large number of leaflets on the streets.

    The main function of these leaflets was to disrupt the morale of the Japanese troops in the city and make them fearful.

    As for other cities in the Hebei region, a large number of main troops of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared on this afternoon.

    These messages were quickly compiled and delivered to Neji Okamura who was stationed in Shijiazhuang.

    ¡°This afternoon, a large number of main troops of the Eighth Route Army appeared in Cangzhou, Baoding, and other areas of Hebei.

    According to the information provided by our intelligence personnel, these enemies are numerous in number, uniformly dressed, and have better weapons and equipment than the guerrillas we usually see.

    They even discovered that the enemy was equipped with many weapons such as mountain artillery and field artillery, and used oxen and horses for pulling.  " said Okamura Neiji's staff officer.

    Okamura Neiji was reading those telegrams at this time, which were sent from various counties and cities in Hebei.

    Combining all this information, Okamura Neji came to a conclusion.

    That is because these Eighth Route Army troops mobilized in full force, seizing the gap in the Hebei area where their troops were empty.

    "Approximately how many people are there?" Okamura Neji asked.

    The staff officer said: "We have made a rough inference and the number of enemy troops detected so far is probably more than 80,000.

    There may be more that we haven¡¯t seen.  These thugs have hidden themselvesTheir strength led us to form a wrong judgment, thinking that their main force in the Hebei area was not large.

    We deduce that this time all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were dispatched, and the actual strength may be more than 300,000!  "

    After hearing this, Okamura Neiji slapped the table and roared: "Tubal Road!! Tubal Road!! Now these Tubal Roads that you don't look down on! have surrounded Cangzhou, and at the same time they are attacking Hebei  More than a dozen counties and cities launched attacks.

    There are even leaflets of theirs in Beiping City and Tianjin City.  I think within a few days, the main force of the Eighth Route Army will appear outside Shijiazhuang!  !  "

    As he said this, he tore the telegram in his hand to pieces with great anger.

    At this moment, a staff officer hurried over and said: "Commander-in-Chief, we found such leaflets in the city. It was most likely distributed by the Eighth Route Army."

    After saying that, he placed a copied leaflet in front of Okamura Neji.

    On the propaganda leaflet was a Japanese military flag pierced by a bayonet, and an image of a Japanese officer whose head was shot through.

    On the list, there is another sentence in Japanese.

    ¡°Drive out the Japanese pirates and recover the rivers and mountains!!¡±

    "Bastards!! A bunch of bastards!!" Neji Okamura roared angrily.

    His staff officer said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, let's how should we respond next."

    Okamura Neji took a deep breath, then rubbed his temples, and after a while he calmed down and said: "Order the garrison in each city to strengthen the city defenses and not to leave the city at will."

    "I think we should mobilize our troops and launch a counterattack." The staff officer said.

    Okamura Neji stared at him and said coldly: "Then tell me, where should we allocate troops to counterattack these Eighth Route Army?"

    The staff officer said: "I we can draw troops from the troops in the Xingtai area. They have assembled more than 200,000 troops, we"

    "That is the force that exerts pressure on the enemies in northern Henan. Believe it or not, even if I mobilize a division from there to surround the enemies in Zhengzhou, they will immediately launch the most ferocious attack on Zhengzhou. (Remember this  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
