    Shanxi. Taiyuan. 1st Army Headquarters.

    Yoshio Shinozuka was irritable and angry at this time, and his heart was completely occupied by negative emotions. He and his troops had no prior knowledge of this large-scale attack by the Eighth Route Army.

    The Japanese troops defending along the railway line all forgot to report to the police in their panic due to the seriousness and suddenness of the situation.  It was not until the morning of August 21 that the communications section of the army headquarters learned from the phone calls that the Zhengtai Railway was being fully attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

    Subsequently, Major General Tanaka Takayoshi, Chief of Staff of the 1st Army, reacted by ordering 28-year-old Captain Shigeharu Asaeda, who had just graduated from Army University last year and is currently the combat assistant staff officer of the Army Headquarters, to take a reconnaissance plane on the afternoon of the 21st.  The Shota Railway conducted an aerial reconnaissance.

    After obtaining the first-hand information, the 1st Army Headquarters held a staff meeting of the headquarters based on the aerial reconnaissance that day, and decided to order its troops to strengthen on-site defense, collect intelligence, and prepare for counterattacks.

    After the meeting, the 1st Army sent Lieutenant Colonel Izumi Raisaburo, the staff officer in charge of logistics from the headquarters, and Captain Shigeharu Aseda, the operational supplementary staff officer, to lead a temporary mixed team of about 40 people, including guards from the Army Headquarters, to Yangquan to learn about the Independent Mixed 4th Army on the spot.  The situation of the brigade.

    At this time, neither Yoshio Shinozuka nor Takayoshi Tanaka had realized the seriousness of the matter. They thought it was just an ordinary attack on Tubal Road, but they did not know that the scale of this battle would exceed theirs.  Unimaginable, let alone unimaginable, this battle would cause them unimaginable losses.

    The small troops of Quanlai and Chaozhi arrived in Yuci by train and then walked. After more than three days of fighting along the way, they finally arrived in Shouyang.  It can be seen how uneven the road is, and how serious the traffic damage is.

    You must know that in normal times, there is no need to stop in Shouyang when traveling from Taiyuan to Yangquan. Secondly, if the speed is fast, it can be reached in three or two hours, instead of three days.

    After Quanlai, Chaozhi and others arrived in Shouyang, they were immediately escorted by the troops of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade along the way. They passed through demolished railways, blown-up bridges, destroyed strongholds, burned stations, and the Eighth Route Army's weapons on the mountains along the way.  After watching the post, it took another four days to reach Yangquan.

    At this time, the first stage of the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Zhengtai Line has been successfully completed, with impressive results!

    Fortunately, after the Eighth Route Army successfully attacked key points, it did not stay in most key points for a long time and immediately withdrew.

    Based on this, the 1st Army analyzed that this battle of the Eighth Route Army was a planned and purposeful large-scale counterattack. It is likely that it will not be dispatched only once, but that such traffic attacks will become the norm in a short period of time.

    And when the traffic is destroyed, Tubal Road will not be satisfied with attacking small strongholds or blowing up bridges and tearing off railways. They will definitely target county towns and important transportation hubs, so Tubal Road cannot be caught in front of them.  This little fight confuses you and you must fight back.

    ¡°Subsequently, Shinozuka immediately reported the situation to Peiping, and under the order of Tada Shun, mobilized troops to reinforce the Zhengtai Road. At the same time, he ordered the troops stationed in the northern section of Pinghan Road to sweep the Eighth Route Army in the area along the railway.

    The first batch of the 1st Army in Shanxi mobilized 10 infantry brigades and attached artillery, totaling about 8,000 people, to encircle the 129th Division in the Xiyang and Heshun areas south of the Zhengtai Railway in 6 lines.

    Its operational deployment is: the 4th independent mixed brigade, with its 4 independent infantry brigades and 1 infantry brigade attached to the 36th Division, with the cooperation of the 9th independent mixed brigade in the west, marches from Pingding and Heshun to the west.  , from Liao County and Yushe to the north, encircling the 129th Division in the Mafang, Songta, and Anfeng areas south of the Zhengtai Railway.

    The independent mixed 9th brigade, with its three infantry brigades and one infantry brigade each from the 36th and 41st divisions, attacked eastward from Yuci and Taigu, and cooperated with the independent mixed 4th brigade.  In the east, south, west and north, encircle the 129th Division troops in Kuojiao, Songta, Henglingcun, Mafang and Anfeng areas.

    According to the order of the First Army Headquarters, the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade will take action on August 30, while the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade will counterattack on September 1 and arrive at its scheduled area on the 2nd.

    While the Japanese army was busy mobilizing troops to counterattack, Li Guoyao, who was actively preparing for war, waited for an unexpected guest!

    On August 30, Li Guoyao suddenly received a telegram from Chongqing from Yun Lisa, saying that representatives from the Eighth Route Army had arrived in Zhulou Village, north of Daming. However, because they did not know the location of the Jiuji Army, they hoped that Li Guoyao would send someone  Go pick them up.

    " Moreover, Lisa Yun specifically stated that the representative sent by the Eighth Route Army this time had an unusual identity. He was the director of the Eighth Route Army's Southern Hebei Administrative Office, named Yang Shufeng, and asked Li Guoyao not to?Slow down the guests.

    After receiving the telegram from Yun Lisa, Li Guoyao was immediately a little surprised. Although he thought that the Eighth Route Army might send some important people to negotiate with him, he did not expect that it would be this big shot.

    Yang Shufeng was born in the late Qing Dynasty and belongs to a scholarly family in Yangtuanbao Village, Qian'an County, Zhili Province.  Influenced by his family, he entered a private school at the age of 5, and then studied in the village's junior primary school. After graduating from the county high school, he was admitted to the Luan County Zhili No. 3 Normal School. From then on, he also formed an indissoluble bond with education.

    In the early years of the Republic of China, Yang Shufeng was admitted to Beijing Higher Normal School, the predecessor of Beijing Normal University. He studied at the Ministry of History and Geography. During this period, due to family financial constraints, he dropped out of school and returned to Anxian Normal University to teach for one year.

    After graduating from the Normal University, Yang Shufeng taught successively at Jiangxi Provincial Poyang Middle School, Beijing Women's Normal University, and the Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University. While studying and teaching, he witnessed the success or failure of the Revolution of 1911 and actively sought the truth and truth to transform society and save the country and the people.  way.  He successively participated in the May 4th and May 30th revolutionary movements, and joined the Red Party during the Great Revolution.

    It can be said that Yang Shufeng is an out-and-out intellectual, a passionate young man with ideals and courage.

    After the "July 7th Incident", Yang Shufeng resolutely gave up the privileged life of a professor at Peking Normal University, joined the army, went deep into Taihang, established anti-Japanese armed forces, and opened up the anti-Japanese base area in western Hebei.

    In August 1938, the Jinan Administrative Office was established.  In order to facilitate the work, Yang Shufeng served as the director of the Jinan Administrative Office.

    To say who has the most thorough understanding of the situation between us and the enemy in southern Hebei, it is obviously Yang Shufeng. As China's largest administrative agency in southern Hebei, its influence is by no means worse than that of the Japanese and puppet troops, and is even more influential.  Stronger.

    ¡°Obviously this was the main reason why the Eighth Route Army sent this talented person over, so Li Guoyao immediately ordered Guo Haiyu to immediately send an elite cavalry battalion to Zhulou Village, 20 kilometers away from the station, to pick him up.

    Speaking of which, far away in Zhulou Village, Yang Shufeng and others were also a little shocked!

    Yang Shufeng and others had known about Li Guoyao's troops stationed in southern Hebei for a long time. However, since the main scope of activities of Li Guoyao's troops was limited to the name area and some counties in western Shandong, there was not much interaction with their southern Hebei administrative office.  So Yang Shufeng and others didn't care.

    But after the raid started, Yang Shufeng and others originally wanted to show off their skills and cooperate with the main force to beat up the little devils. However, as soon as they took action and fought a few small-scale battles, they were urgently stopped by the superior department.  .

    He was shocked by the reason given by his superiors. It turned out that the National Army's Ninth Army would participate in this war. The Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the 129th Division Headquarters asked them to suspend all operations and fully cooperate with Li Guoyao's troops.

    At the same time, the Eighth Route Army headquarters also ordered Yang Shufeng to immediately go south to Daming and meet with Li Guoyao, deputy commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army and temporary commander of the Ninth Army, as a representative of the Eighth Route Army.

    After receiving the order, Yang Shufeng did not dare to neglect, and immediately took several combat staff and went south overnight under the protection of a guard company.

    After a day and night of rapid march, they finally arrived in Daming County!

    But when they arrived at the end of the field, they were confused. They originally thought that Li Guoyao's troops were still stationed in the county town, but after a little inquiry, they found out that Li Guoyao's troops had withdrawn from the county town two weeks ago, but they had no idea where they had withdrawn.

    This person was unfamiliar with the place and could not find anyone at once. He had no choice but to send a report to the Eighth Route Army headquarters and ask his superiors to help contact Li Guoyao!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
