    The Japanese troops in Yangcheng escaped, which was no less than great news for the national army who had fought hard for many days in Zhongtiao Mountain.

    After receiving the news that Li Guoyao's troops had captured Yangcheng, the First War Zone Commander immediately ordered all troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area who had not had time to break out to immediately gather in the direction of Yangcheng and jump out of the Japanese encirclement from there.

    Of course, as for how these troops will be reorganized after breaking out of the encirclement, the First Theater Command has not yet made a final decision!

    But no matter what, the troops must break through first!

    On May 15, after two days and nights of rapid marching, and after losing almost all their baggage and supplies, the main force of the 14th Army, more than 16,000 people, arrived in Yangcheng.

    Although more than 20,000 Japanese troops were still chasing after them, in any case, they had escaped from the Japanese encirclement.

    Immediately afterwards, the remaining soldiers of about 6 regiments moved to the front line of Yangcheng through various channels, and they were all accepted by Li Guoyao's command.

    But as the main force of the Japanese army arrived in Yangcheng, this channel of life was closed again.

    At this time, outside Yangcheng, there were the remnants of the Japanese 33rd Division on the northern front, and the main force of the 35th Division on the southern front. The total number of Japanese troops in the north and south was 25,000. They were eyeing Yangcheng and might launch an attack at any time.  .

    And to the east of Yangcheng, a large number of national troops were rushing to Jincheng via Yangcheng, and then continued northward.

    Li Guoyao still gave a lot of help to these remnants of the national army. After each unit arrived in Jincheng, Li Guoyao prepared a large amount of food and some ammunition for them.

    ¡°After all, these troops are China¡¯s national defense forces. Although they lost the battle, it was not their fault. They are still heroes.

    No matter what, Li Guoyao could not let the hero bleed and shed tears, and Te also believed that Chongqing would not deal with him this time. After all, the troops saved this time were the troops of the Central Army. Invest a penny now and wait until after the war.  When you reward it, it will become an ocean, so why not do it.

    On May 17, after two days of confrontation, the Japanese troops on the Yangcheng front immediately launched an siege.

    In addition to a large number of infantry entering the battle, the Japanese army also mobilized a large number of fighter planes to participate in the battle!

    At this time, most of the national troops in the direction of Yangcheng had already withdrawn, and Li Guoyao did not let his troops fight with the Japs here. After a brief resistance, he withdrew from Yangcheng.

    Subsequently, the Japanese army followed Li Guoyao's troops into Jincheng!

    After the two sides fought hard for two more days in Jincheng, which exhausted most of the Japanese army's energy, Li Guoyao's troops immediately evacuated Jincheng and retreated to Gaoping.

    Under the orders of the North China Front Army Headquarters, the Japanese army once again marched north to Gaoping!

    Due to the dangerous terrain of Gaoping, Li Guoyao's troops stayed here for more than a week. It was not until all the national army troops had withdrawn to the Taihang Mountains that Li Guoyao ordered the troops behind him to withdraw from Gaoping and return all the way to Changzhi.

    However, the Japanese army did not continue the pursuit. Instead, after leaving some troops in Gaoping, the main force returned to Yangcheng.

    Then tens of thousands of Japanese troops began to conduct a dragnet sweep across the entire Zhongtiao Mountain area, with the purpose of completely clearing out the defeated national troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

    This raid by the Japanese army lasted for more than 20 days and did not end until mid-June!

    At this time, in addition to the partial annihilation of the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain, the main force broke out successively after suffering heavy casualties. Among them, the remnants of the 3rd and 15th armies, led by Zeng Wanzhong, commander of the 5th Army, crossed the Yellow River westward and transferred to Luoyang and  The Xin'an area was reorganized, and the main force of the 93rd Army crossed the Yellow River from Yumenkou and entered Hancheng, Shaanxi Province after getting rid of the pursuing Japanese troops.

    The main force of the 98th Army was wiped out, and one of its units entered the Taiyue Mountains.

    The 43rd Army belonging to Liu Enmao's 14th Group Army moved towards Fushan and Yicheng. After several days of guerrilla warfare in the western section of Daoqing Road and Jiyuan Mountains, the main force of the 9th Army crossed south via Xiaodukou and Guanyang Ferry respectively

    With most of the Zhongtiao Mountain garrison withdrawing from the Zhongtiao Mountain area, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain came to an end.

    In mid-June, the North China Front Army Headquarters held a division commander-level combat meeting to summarize the battle. During this period, the Japanese North China Front Army Chief of Staff Yukio Kasahara announced that they had annihilated a total of 100,000 Chinese troops in this battle and won the battle.

    Although China admitted that this battle was a failure, it did not recognize the number of enemy annihilations achieved by the Japanese army, claiming that a total of 13,500 people were lost in this battle.

    The two sides started arguing again about their respective losses, and the battlefield also changed from the field to the press

    But no matter how much China lost in this battle, it is an indisputable fact that the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line was conquered and a large number of senior generals were killed.

      And Shun Tada also changed the previous decline because of his brilliant victory in this battle!

    During the later operational meeting, Tada Shun specifically pointed out that the experience of the Zhongtiao Mountain Battle was very important and feasible. Therefore, the North China Front Army should use these experiences to actively fight and adopt a combination of military and political measures to deal with the Chinese army in North China.

    Even Jun Tada has made clear the goal of the next phase of the operation, which is to attack the Eighth Route Army in North China and completely solve this cancer of public security in North China!

    "However, what caught Tada Shun off guard was that his aggressive claims had just been put forward and before they could be implemented, he was stunned by a domestic transfer order.

    On June 20, the base camp directly called the North China Front Command and transferred Tada Shun back to China to serve as military counselor, and his position will be held by Okamura Neiji, who is sitting on the bench in China.

    For this transfer, Tada Shun himself was really unwilling to accept it. He knew very well what the so-called military counselor's position was.

    Being promoted to military rank is originally a good thing, and Shun Tada himself is now an army lieutenant general, and the next step up is the rank of general, and this is the meritorious service that Shun Tada himself has always wanted.

    ¡°But Tada Shun himself knew that the base camp¡¯s transfer of him back to China was actually dissatisfaction with his command in North China.

    The reason why he was promoted to military rank was in recognition of his 38 years of service in the military and his achievements in the invasion of China, especially the "strengthening of public security", "iron wall encirclement", "comb-and-grate sweeps" and other operations in North China.  There is no contradiction between the two.

    What¡¯s more important is that once he is transferred back to the country, he will most likely be placed in the reserve force and bid farewell to the military completely.

    After receiving this order, Jun Tada himself was really like a bolt from the blue!

    He is a proud man. Even though he has always wanted to be promoted to Army General, he does not want to get the rank of General in this way.

    But Tada Shun also knew that he was unable to change the status quo at all, and his ending was even doomed when he could look at the war clearly.

    In the base camp, and even in the entire Japanese military community, Tada Shun was known as an "outlier". This was mainly reflected in the fact that when he was the deputy commander of the General Staff Headquarters, he opposed Japan's continued march south after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.  The expansion of the war offended the then Konoe government, Minister of War Sugiyama, and even the Emperor.

    Especially when the Japanese army was advancing vigorously on the Chinese battlefield, they strongly opposed and prevented Japan from expanding the war, which meant that everyone was drunk and I was alone.

    But a defeat is a defeat. He was defeated by the Chinese army on the battlefield, and he was defeated by some careerists in politics. In the end, he won the battle, but in the end he could only return to Japan in a dejected form.  It cannot but be said to be a tragedy.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
