    Handan, Hebei-Cha War Zone Headquarters.

    He already knew the news about the Japanese attack on the Eighth Route Army in the Nangong area. He felt indescribably happy when he learned that the Eighth Route Army had been beaten to a pulp and abandoned its armor.

    Thinking of how humiliated he was beaten by the Eighth Route Army last year, Lu Zhonglin felt itchy with hatred!

    In that battle, Zhu Huaibing¡¯s troops were almost completely wiped out, and even Zhu Huaibing became a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he was a Chinese and an army lieutenant general, Zhu Huaibing might have been killed by the Eighth Route Army and sacrificed to the flag.

    Although this matter was settled with the mutual compromise of both parties, for Lu Zhonglin, it is still a shame that is difficult to wash away.

    Because of this, Lu Zhonglin was scolded by a call from Chongqing!

    This time the Eighth Route Army was robbed, Lu Zhonglin was naturally in a good mood!

    But his good mood did not last long. As the Japanese army advanced, many generals of the national army could not sit still, including Commander-in-Chief Gao of the 39th Group Army and Commander-in-Chief Pang of the 24th Group Army.

    They were all considered to be the mainstays of the Hebei-Cha War Zone, and they had good strategic vision. They knew that if the Japs destroyed Tubal Road, it would be their turn next. With their lips dying, they all asked Lu Zhonglin to fight, hoping to go north.  Together with the Eighth Route Army, they stopped the Japanese troops from moving south.

    However, this matter was rejected by Lu Zhonglin. It was not that he could not see this, but he did not believe that the Japanese army could eliminate the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei so quickly.

    We also know that the Eighth Route Army is not weak in North China. Last year, it organized more than a hundred regiments of troops to catch the little devils off guard.

    With so many troops, how could the Eighth Route Army be defeated by the Japs so quickly? After all, it took Tada Shun, Sugiyama Gen and others four years to destroy more and more Eighth Route Army. Even Neji Okamura  Even if he is a fox who has become a spirit, he cannot be more powerful than Shun Tada and Moto Sugiyama combined.

    But just when he cruelly rejected the request of Gao, Pang and others to fight, he suddenly received a telegram from Li Guoyao!

    After reading Li Guoyao¡¯s telegram, Lu Zhonglin fell silent!

    Li Guoyao not only explained the current situation of the National Army in Jinan, but also told him that the Eighth Route Army was different from the National Army.

    The Eighth Route Army is a guerrilla force. Although it is also affiliated with the National Revolutionary Army's combat order, from the beginning, Chongqing did not admit that the Eighth Route Army would develop in southern Hebei and other places. Because of this, it did not have the responsibility to defend its territory.

    To put it bluntly, if someone regains lost territory, the National Government will be rewarded, but if they fail to defend the city, the National Government has no reason to punish them.

    But he, Lu Zhonglin, is different. He is the theater commander and provincial chairman appointed by Chongqing in black and white. This series of positions are not just for decoration, they all carry heavy responsibilities.

    Whether it is Lu Zhonglin or other national troops in southern Hebei, they all have the responsibility to resist the enemy and defend the territory. If all the territory is lost, not only will the troops lose their food and soldiers' collection areas, but also the superiors will lose their territory.  Very angry.

    What¡¯s more important is that now they have no retreat. Once Jinan is lost, their army will "move around" like the Eighth Route Army. This is not what a regular army should be like.

    Li Guoyao¡¯s words hit Lu Zhonglin¡¯s heart like a heavy hammer, forcing him to re-examine the matter.

    Lu Zhonglin believed in Li Guoyao's strategic vision. Looking at the thousands of generals in the national army, he probably couldn't count those who truly had Li Guoyao's vision.

    Since even Li Guoyao said this, Lu Zhonglin has to think carefully!

    After thinking for a while, Lu Zhonglin finally sighed, and then asked someone to notify the chief of staff and other combat personnel for a meeting!

    That night, the headquarters of the Hebei-Cha War Zone issued an order to the defenders in southern Hebei to prepare for war, and called the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, asking them to immediately report the actual situation of their troops in southern Hebei.

    And the Eighth Route Army Headquarters did not hesitate, and immediately sent the current situation of the Jinan Administrative Office to Handan City!

    After learning about the situation of the Eighth Route Army, Lu Zhonglin took a breath!

    The 20,000 to 30,000 Eighth Route Army was defeated in less than two days, losing four county towns in succession, and thousands of civilians were killed or injured.

    "Obviously, the little devils are determined to deal with the Chinese army in southern Hebei. No wonder even Li Guoyao, Gao Jianhou and others can't sit still!

    At that moment, Lu Zhonglin no longer hesitated and called the front line directly, ordering the main force of the 39th Group Army to immediately go north from Guangping to attack Quzhou, Jize and other places, in a posture to coordinate with the Eighth Route Army!

      The 24th Army, Sun Dianying, Sun Liangcheng, Zhu Huaibing, Zhang Yinwu and other units must be prepared for a bloody battle to avoid being rampaged south by the little devils and directly occupying the entire southern Hebei Province.

    The national army in southern Hebei took action, which was a huge boon to the struggling Eighth Route Army.

    In addition, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters has ordered the troops of the 129th Division in southern Hebei to take immediate action and reinforce Nangong at all costs.

    With the statements and actions of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the situation on the Nangong frontline has become even more tense!

    On October 1, just as the main force of the Japanese 110th Division arrived in the west of Nangong County, more than 4,000 elite cavalry regiments belonging to the 194th Division of the Ninth Army also arrived at the seventh-level town south of Nangong.

    And the main force detoured behind the 110th Brigade and attacked its stronghold in Xiliu Town, northwest of Nangong.

    After half an hour of fighting, the town was captured. The puppet army that had stayed there for more than 400 days was wiped out. Many supplies were robbed, and everything that could not be taken away was burned!

    News of the sudden appearance of Li Guoyao's elite troops in the Nangong area soon spread to Peiping. After learning of the situation, Okamura Neji personally sent a telegram to Harem Chun on the front line, asking him to deal with it carefully.

    " And Harem Chun was not a fool. He also knew the power of Li Guoyao's troops. He immediately stopped letting the troops disperse and sweep, and the main force immediately moved toward Nangong County to encircle them.

    At this time, the two lines of Japanese troops had occupied all the east, west and north of Nangong County, leaving only an opening on the southern line.

    When Yang Shufeng in the city learned that most of the people in the county had moved out, he immediately broke out southward at night, and the Japanese army subsequently captured Nangong.

    After capturing Nangong, the two Japanese armies were divided into two again, and continued southward through Nangong, pursuing in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's breakout.

    The other route is to attack the ancient city and Wucheng east of Nangong, preparing to capture these two counties occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

    At the same time, the Japanese troops in Xingtai also actively dispatched reinforcements to Nanhe, Jize, Quzhou and other places in the east, and launched bloody battles with the Chinese troops heading north.

    At this point, the Japanese army has invested one more brigade!

    But just as the Japanese army was preparing to continue adding troops to the Nangong area, large numbers of Chinese troops suddenly appeared in Shimen, Jinzhou, Xinji, Zhaoxian, Yuanshi and other places!

    "The number of these troops was not very large. There were only hundreds or thousands of people at most, and only fifty or sixty people at the least. They were dressed in civilian clothes and launched attacks on the strongholds and communication lines behind the Japanese army.

    Although the opponent¡¯s troops are limited, their weapons and equipment are not bad at all. They not only have automatic firepower such as light and heavy machine guns, but also mortars and grenade launchers. Their combat effectiveness is very good.

    And the opponent is very fast and does not entangle. Basically, he will retreat immediately after completing the tactical goal and never entangle.

    In less than two days, the Japanese garrison in the rear suffered a crazy attack. Not only did they lose more than 800 Japanese and puppet troops, 12 strongholds and 7 bridges were blown up, and the railway lines were also destroyed.  Four of them were dug out.

    This action frightened the Japanese army. It was not that these mysterious armed forces caused much damage to them, but that this attack pattern reminded them of last year's Hundred Regiment War.

    I think this is how the Eighth Route Army fought. The troops arrived at the attack position overnight, and then quickly launched an attack, and then the Japanese army couldn't think about the beginning and the end!

    Could it be that Tubal Road is going to engage in the second Hundred Regiment War?

    After being shocked, Okamura Neiji immediately mobilized troops from the Baoding front line to go south to strengthen the Shimen front line.

    At the same time, Mamoru Iinuma, commander of the 110th Division, was ordered to strengthen the vigilance along the Shotai Railway to prevent being caught off guard by the Eighth Route Army.
