    While Li Guoyao's headquarters was busy investigating the nearby garrison and actively preparing for war, the Japanese North China Front Headquarters was busy tracing the whereabouts of those millions of kilograms of grain.

    After repeated investigations and confirmations, the North China Front Army Headquarters finally determined that it was troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region of the Eighth Route Army who stole the food!

    However, as the investigation deepens, many questions have surfaced!

    First of all, the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region is far more terrifying than the North China Front Army Headquarters imagined!

    According to investigations, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region of the Eighth Route Army was a partial division divided from the original 115th Division. This unit cooperated with the Kuomintang Army in operations in northern Shanxi before being divided.

    It has won more than 100 battles at Pingxingguan, Yanmenguan, Yangmingbao and Guangyang. In less than half a year, it annihilated more than 10,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association, damaged 24 fighter planes, and destroyed more than 400 cars.  More than ten county towns and vast villages were recovered, dealing a heavy blow to the Imperial Japanese Army.

    It even indirectly thwarted His Excellency Seishiro Itagaki's attempt to seize Shanxi, implement a right-wing detour, and threaten the flanks of the Kuomintang army in Hebei, and effectively supported the national army's operations.

    Later, the unit was divided, and deputy division commander Nie led a main force of 3,000 people to the Wutai Mountain area and established the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area.

    In less than four years, this small force of only 3,000 people has developed rapidly and has become one of the most powerful strategic groups in northern China.

    When Shun Tada was in office, he conducted long-term surveillance and investigation on this force. At that time, the number of combat troops given by the secret service was 40,000, and their activities ranged from northern Shanxi, central Hebei, and southern Chanan.  Waiting places.

    The evaluation of the front army staff at that time was that although it had many troops, it was quite dispersed, its weapons and equipment were extremely backward, its combat effectiveness was extremely weak, and it posed a limited threat to the Imperial Japanese Army.

    But this time, after Saburo Hattori's secret service deciphered the headquarters radio station of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and monitored the other party's radio station, they learned that this unit actually had 35 regiment numbers of various sizes, including various guerrilla corps and brigades.  , detachment but the remaining detachment, with a conservative estimate of more than 100,000 troops.

    More importantly, its range of activities is much larger than imagined. It has even reached places such as Jidong and Rehe in the east, Jizhong and South Hebei in the south, and southern Chahar in the north.  There are troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region even near Beiping.

    Okamura Neiji had never imagined that there would be such a large-scale strategic group so close to Peking, and he immediately felt threatened!

    As a commander with rich combat experience and outstanding strategic vision, Okamura Neiji has realized that the threat of the Eighth Route Army may be far more terrifying than imagined. You must know that the reason why his predecessor was promoted and secretly withdrawn from the country is  It has the most direct relationship with the Eighth Route Army.

    The outside world does not know the situation, so how could Okamura Neiji, his successor, not know that Jun Tada was responsible for the killing of the "Flower of the Famous General" Abe Norihide in November 1939 and the heavy losses of the Japanese army in the Hundred Regiment War in the second half of 1940?  The main reason for being transferred back to the country.

    "Both of these things were done by the Eighth Route Army. The troops who killed Norihide Abe were the troops of the First Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. In the Hundred Regiments War, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was also the absolute main force.

    Although Tada Shun launched the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain afterwards and defeated the Kuomintang troops of more than 100,000 people in 20 divisions commanded by Wei Lihuang with more than 30,000 troops, he originally wanted to make up for his fault.

    But this achievement was not only not praised, but also criticized.

    Because he diverted some of his main forces to fight against the Kuomintang, he allowed the Eighth Route Army's armed forces to take advantage of the gap and take advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate. As a result, the first "security strengthening" campaign launched at the end of March this year had little effect.

    In fact, Tada Shun was also aware of this problem. Therefore, as soon as the Battle of Nakajoyama was over, Tada Shun issued an order to launch the second "security strengthening" campaign. However, as soon as this order was issued, he suddenly received a notice from the base camp, granting him the title of Army General.  Military rank.

    Two days later, he received a call from the base camp informing him to return home immediately and be transferred to the position of military counselor.

    ??In fact, from this day on, Tada Shun's military career actually came to an end.  After returning to China, he lived an indifferent life almost isolated from the outside world.

    Before taking office, the first commander of the North China Front, General Juichi Terauchi, and the second commander of the North China Front, General Gen. Sugiyama, both summoned Okamura alone. Both seniors warned him that his enemies during this trip to North China were not*  *Government troops, but Tubal Road.

    At that time, Okamura Neiji did not think so, but as a cautious person, he still dealt with it carefully. He did not take immediate action when he took office, but concentrated on analyzing the reasons for his predecessor's mistakes.

      He first ordered all officers above the brigade commander to go to Peiping to report to him on the Eighth Route Army's organization, combat characteristics, etc.  It took nearly a month for Okamura Neiji to list the reasons for the development and growth of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines into 11 special topics for analysis and research.

    These 11 topics are the organization of the Red Party, the political work of the Eighth Route Army, the construction of base areas, the expansion of the Red Party organization, military work and strategies and tactics, the development of the military system and local armed forces, the economic work of the Red Party, anti-corruption work, and military industry  Production and logistics support, the intelligence work and methods of the Eighth Route Army, the causes of the Hundred Regiment War and the gains and losses of both sides.

    At the same time, Okamura Neiji made significant adjustments to the military discipline of the army and the work of the intelligence department. After a series of adjustments, the first Jinan Campaign against the Eighth Route Army was launched.

    Although this battle ended a bit late due to the intervention of Li Guoyao's troops, it is undeniable that the Japanese army won the final victory in this battle. Not to mention the heavy losses of the Eighth Route Army's troops in southern Hebei, it also destroyed the troops in eight counties.  All the territory was lost.

    "But Okamura Neji did not expect that even though they had just defeated more than 20,000 Eighth Route Army troops, there were still so many Tubal Road troops nearby, and they even had the ability to annihilate the imperial army's brigade-level troops.

    After being shocked, Okamura Neiji knew that he could not randomly send two troops to deal with these Tubal Roads as planned before. He had to conduct a large-scale operation. He did not seek to eliminate the Tubal Roads in one fell swoop, but he must thoroughly defeat each of them.  The base areas are divided.

    So when Hattori Saburo reported the collected information to Okamura Neiji, the fourth commander of the North China Front did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he convened the First Army Headquarters, the Mongolian Army Headquarters and the Mongolian Army Headquarters.  A number of senior commanders from the Front Army Headquarters held a secret meeting.

    The main content of this meeting is how to solve the Tuba Road in North China, especially the Nie tribe in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region.

    At this meeting, Lieutenant General Ganpa Jutaro, the commander of the Garrison Army in Mongolia, proposed: "The crux of the imperial army's inability to break up the situation in North China is not the Kuomintang government, but the Tubal Road. The Tubal Road relies on the base area as a solid stone to support the imperial army.  The military attacks. The base area is a trinity organization composed of the party, government, and military. The three are very closely related. The party is the core, and the military and government are the arms of the party."

    "If the Imperial Army wants to eliminate the Eighth Route Army, it must first start by solving the base areas. The Eighth Route Army establishes base areas that integrate the Party, government, and military. The Imperial Army must respond tit-for-tat and carry out a four-in-one security strengthening campaign in every county and township.  . Therefore, the goal of the Japanese army's policy should be to take planned measures to take the initiative to attack. They should divide the area, limit the time, consolidate the security areas, conceal the troops in the quasi-security areas, enter the security areas in a planned way, and use the remaining forces to attack  Advance unpoliced ??areas and develop them into quasi-policed ??areas.¡±

    "Following these steps, you should neither rush for success nor miss the opportunity. You must have targeted tactics."

    Okamura Neji deeply agrees with this, and he thinks so too!

    And through the previous small test, coupled with the intelligence department¡¯s multi-party investigation and understanding of the Tubal Road, Okamura Neji felt that it was time to organize a war, and the target was the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi and central Hebei.

    Under the chairmanship of Okamura Neiji, the plan for the second operation since taking office, the "Suppression Operation in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region" was formulated. This operation was intended to "defeat the communist army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region and eliminate the base areas."  , combined with the blockade, destroyed its self-sufficiency, thereby consuming and trapping the communist forces in the region.

    On the morning of November 1, Okamura Neiji issued a combat order to all troops in Peiping: "In this operation, we must change the previous practice of 'mopping up' operations with large targets and unconcentrated troops. We must concentrate 100,000 troops to 'mopping up' Hebei first."  , the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area in northeastern Shanxi. This base area was established the earliest and is located between Peiping, Tianjin, Baoding, and Zhangyuan. It is extremely harmful to the imperial army. This time we will give a devastating blow."

    "The specific tactics are: the first step is to encircle 100,000 troops with an iron wall to capture the main force of the Communist army; the second step is to use a comb-style clearing, with 2 divisions and 3 brigades searching southward from the Outer Great Wall, and 2 divisions  The regiment and three brigades searched northward from Shijiazhuang, Jingxing, and Yangquan. When the north and south routes faced each other, they adopted a fish-scale encirclement formation, building bunkers as they advanced."

    At the same time, Okamura Neiji also said to the frontline troops: "We must use all available equipment and equipment, including aircraft, tanks, cars, poison gas bombs, poison gas bottles, etc., to ensure the victory of this battle."

    The Japanese army has also made clear plans for the time of this battle. This combat mission will start on November 3 and end on December 15, and will be divided into two phases.  The first phase is from November 3 to 15, and the main task is to annihilate the main force of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

    The second phase is from November 15th to December 15th. The main task is to carry out economic, political and cultural construction in the occupied areas.  During the battle, we strive to capture the enemy's party leader Nie and others, destroy the center of the Eighth Route Army's party organization, and plunge its organizational strength into chaos.  "

    As the saying goes, "the three things a new official does when he takes office", Neji Okamura's first thing was to achieve a good record. With the second thing, he also wanted to make an instant success.
