    The Japanese are rightly worried about the Eighth Route Army launching a second large-scale raid. The large-scale raid last August had a huge psychological impact on the North China Front.

    This is not only because tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops were annihilated in that battle, but more importantly, the mess after the war took a long time for the Japanese army to clean up.

    Especially the damage to transportation lines cannot be repaired in a day or two. For example, for bridges, it may only take dozens of kilograms of explosives to blow up a bridge, but it may take three months to build a railway bridge.

    No fewer than fifty railway bridges were blown up by the Eighth Route Army in the Hundred Regiments War. In order to repair these railway bridges afterwards, the North China Front Army had to mobilize engineers from the Puppet Manchukuo area.

    After the railway line was destroyed, coal resources in Shanxi and other places could not be transported to the port, which seriously affected Japan's plunder of China's resources. For this reason, Tada Shun and others were severely reprimanded by the base camp.

    Therefore, even a long time after the Hundred Regiment War ended, the North China Front Army Headquarters held many meetings to remind the frontline troops to strengthen their vigilance and be careful of the second attack on Tubal Road.

    And this time, the performance of the Chinese army seems a bit obvious, attacking strongholds, tearing up railways, and blowing up bridges. Isn't this a replica of last year's war?

    There is no reason why Okamura Neji doesn¡¯t take it seriously. If Tobali comes here again, it will be a lot of fun!

    The only good thing is that the Japanese Imperial Army took down several counties and districts near Nangong before the support/person reported it!

    Tubal Road previously occupied eight counties in southern Hebei. Now the Imperial Japanese Army has taken back six, and two more are under attack. As long as those two counties are captured, the first phase of the battle plan formulated before the war will be completed.  Completely completed.

    As for whether to continue to attack more than a dozen counties in southern Hebei, Okamura Neji has not yet made up his mind!

    For those who are fighting on the front line, Harem Jun, Tomisui Nobumasa and others, they are generally very satisfied with the current battle!

    The battle started on September 29, and it has only lasted three and a half days. However, they have defeated the tens of thousands of Tubal troops one by one. At present, they have not only conquered six towns, but also wiped out tens of thousands of Tubal troops.

    Of course, both Harem Jun and Tomisui Nobumasa know that this number of enemy annihilations is substantial.

    Based on their understanding, a large part of the so-called tens of thousands of Tubal were annihilated peasants and were not real Eighth Route Army soldiers, but who cares?

    Anyway, Tuba Road often wears civilian clothes when operating, and the Japanese Imperial Army simply can¡¯t tell who is the army and who is the civilian, so they can only disappear them all!

    So even if the people from the Military Police Headquarters investigate, Harem Chun and others will have something to say!

    And judging from the current battle situation, the quality displayed by the Imperial Japanese Army is still worthy of recognition!

    Although the combat effectiveness of the imperial army has declined, it is still an invincible field elite when facing Tubal Road, and Tubal Road is still as vulnerable as it was a few years ago.

    Although their counterattack did cause some casualties to the Imperial Japanese Army, it was nothing more than that. Tens of thousands of troops went out to fight. What does it matter if two or three thousand people were killed or injured?

    The only pity is that in the later stage of this battle, due to the participation of other Tubal Road and the national army, the Tubal Road in Nangong County successfully broke through. Otherwise, as long as it is surrounded in Nangong, it is only a matter of time before it is annihilated.

    After letting go of Tuba Road in Nangong County, Harem Chun was a little bit upset, so while pursuing the south, he also sent a group of light cavalry to Julu, preparing to capture this small county town, and then detour back to Guangzong and Qinghe.  See if there is any chance.

    On the morning of October 3, the Japanese army captured the old city, and in the afternoon they occupied Wucheng despite the active withdrawal of the Eighth Route Army!

    On the same day, more than 400 cavalrymen from the First Battalion of the 110th Division Cavalry Regiment of the Japanese Army captured Julu!

    At this point, the Japanese army captured all the towns in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Some of the main forces of the Jinan Administrative Office went south and withdrew to the national army's defense area, while most of the troops dispersed and broke through, and the main force suffered heavy losses.

    Originally, according to the intention of the North China Front Army Headquarters, this battle is almost over now. After all, this is just a small test after Okamura Neiji took office. Taking eight counties is enough to explain to the country. The rest will be discussed later.  , the time is still long!

    However, Harem Chun felt that the pace was a bit too small. The Imperial Japanese Army should take advantage of the current favorable opportunity to continue southward and wipe out all the Japanese troops in the southern Hebei region in one go!

    ? ?Of course, Harem Chun was not talking nonsense when he said this, nor was it because he was defeated after defeating the Eighth Route Army's Jinan Administrative Office, but because the main force of the national army was currently fighting on the front line in Xingtai.

    ¡° Moreover, this battle was initiated by the Chinese army, and more than 50,000 troops were dispatched. The current Xingtai defenders were a little overwhelmed.

    After all, the defenders in the Xingtai area only have one brigade and two Imperial Army infantry groups, which add up to more than 10,000 people.

    And the Chinese army has more than 50,000 people, with strong soldiers and horses!

    Although Okamura Neji was somewhat reluctant, considering the status of Harem Jun, he finally agreed to his request for combat!

    But Okamura Neiji asked Harem Jun that this battle could only go as far as Quzhou and Qiu County, and he was never allowed to fight further south!

    The reason is also very simple, because the current North China Front Army is not ready to fight with the Hebei-Cha War Zone!

    You must know that although the Hebei-Cha War Zone has not had any measurable results in recent years, the secret service has received a lot of useful information from Shi Yousan and his brother Shi Youxin, and we know that the current strength of the Hebei-Cha War Zone is not weak.

    In addition to Pang Bingxun¡¯s 24th Army, Li Guoyao¡¯s Ninth Army has also arrived in southern Hebei. Together with the 39th Army controlled by Gao Jianhou, the total strength of these units alone exceeds 80,000.

    Together with other troops, Lu Zhonglin can now use at least 100,000 field elites!

    These 100,000 people are not the motley crew of Zhu Huaibing, Sun Dianying, and Sun Liangcheng, but truly combat-effective troops.

    According to Okamura Neiji¡¯s estimation, in order to defeat the national army in southern Hebei, at least three to four complete field divisions need to be dispatched, and then coupled with a large number of technical arms, such as aviation and tank troops.

    Only in this way can we have a certain chance of winning. If someone like Harem Chun rushes in recklessly, the consequences will be really disastrous.

    You must know that Li Guoyao's headquarters is now in southern Hebei. That guy is like a poisonous snake. Once he is targeted, he will be eaten in an instant.

    But neither Okamura Neiji nor Harem Jun and others expected that while they were busy going south, Li Guoyao had already led the main force northward and had begun planning to attack the Japanese-occupied areas.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
