    January in North China is the coldest season of the year, but right now the entire North China Front is in hot weather.

    During this period of raids and eradication, the front army achieved considerable results!

    Although methods such as digging trenches and blockades were implemented when Shun Tada was in office, the North China Front Army was repeatedly hit hard by the Chinese army when it was most difficult when Shun Tada took office. At that time, the main strength of the North China Front Army was used to deal with the national army and the  The Eighth Route Army's attack can still allocate strength to carry out these things.

    Therefore, although the suppression of the resistance forces within the occupied areas is proceeding, the progress is very slow, and only the blockade in the Pingjin area has been completed.

    But now the situation is different. Since the territory has shrunk a lot now, and the country has continued to reinforce the North China Front, the originally scattered Japanese forces in North China have now become relatively concentrated. The number of soldiers per square kilometer  The number of people has increased from three to more than a dozen.

    If you include the puppet troops, there will be even more, even dozens of people. Therefore, Okamura Neji is fully capable of "blocking" and "cannibalizing" while carrying out a large-scale sweep of the area under his jurisdiction.

    Another point is that Okamura Neiji is very experienced in this kind of thing, because Okamura had previously implemented this so-called "bandit separation" policy in Northern Manchuria, so the Japanese army in North China moved very quickly.

    By the end of January, the Japanese army's first blockade ditch, which focused on Li Guoyao's command, had been completed. This blockade ditch started from Huai'an in the west, passed through Wanquan, Zhangjiakou and ended at Yangyuan, protecting Zhangjiakou from behind.

    At the same time, the Japanese army's raids on Jidong, western Shandong, and southern Shandong were also quite fruitful. Many guerrilla groups of the Eighth Route Army were wiped out by the Japanese army, and several regular divisions were also beaten into hiding by the Japanese army.

    More importantly, Okamura Neiji took the opportunity to make a killing blow in the Sulu War Zone!

    Since Li Guoyao's troops withdrew from Lunan, the Japanese army began to carry out all-round infiltration and attacks on the Sulu Theater. The Sulu Theater, which was originally relatively strong, could only parry and not backhand against the Japanese infiltration attack.  lost heavily.

    On January 18, after being overturned by the North China Front's secret service, Wu Huawen, the commander of the newly formed 4th Division stationed in southern Shandong, surrendered to the enemy. The division was reorganized into a puppet army and seduced the Japanese army to attack the national army, reversing the situation in southern Shandong.

    The Wu Department teamed up with the Japanese army to build artillery towers and add strongholds in Lucun, Sanchadian and other places where the New 4th Division was originally stationed, allowing the Japanese army to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Lunan guerrilla base area in the Sulu Theater.  Only a stone's throw away.

    Subsequently, the Japanese army mobilized the first part of the 5th independent mixed brigade originally stationed in Jiaodong, the main force of the 6th independent mixed brigade originally stationed on the Jiaoji line, and other units, with a total of about 15,000 people, and cooperated with dozens of aircraft.  Under the command of Brigade Chief Xingcun, a large-scale "mopping up" of the Sulu Theater Headquarters in Yimeng Mountain was launched.

    At that time, the only troops in the Sulu Theater near the headquarters were the 51st Army. In terms of strength, the 51st Army Headquarters led the Baggage Corps and the 1st Independent Regiment, the 113th Division Headquarters led the 338th and 339th Regiments, and the 114th Division 342  regiment and two battalions of the 340th Regiment, as well as the 2nd Advance Column attached to the command, the Shandong Provincial Government Special Agent Battalion, etc., with a total strength of less than 5,000 people.

    Coupled with the guidance of the rebels from Wu Hua's Ministry of Education, not long after the "mopping up" campaign began, the Japanese army successively captured important positions guarded by the 113th Division and the 114th Division.

    The Chinese army suffered heavy casualties in this battle. Li Wenli, commander of the 2nd advancing column, and Han Ziqian, commander of the 113th Division, were injured and captured. Yu Xuezhong, commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater, was also injured. Wang Kun, commander of the 339th Regiment of the 113th Division, and the 1st and 2nd Regiment of the Regiment  The battalion commander and others died, and the 1st Battalion of the 339th Regiment and the 338th Regiment were completely lost.

    By the end of January, the Japanese army had basically wiped out the headquarters of the Sulu Theater and withdrew the Japanese troops, leaving only Wu Hua and the Ministry of Culture and Culture to form guerrilla groups and move around to "clear out" the Sulu Theater.

    In this battle, the troops in the Sulu theater annihilated more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops, but suffered more than a thousand casualties and more than a thousand missing, for a total of more than 2,000 people, that is, more than half were lost.

    After the war, the Sulu Theater Headquarters found it difficult to establish a foothold in the southern Shandong base area. After consulting the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, it was allowed to evacuate southern Shandong and move to northern Anhui.

    Subsequently, under the order of Okamura Neiji, the Japanese army launched a raid on the northern Jiangsu area, and Han Deqin led his troops to encircle Huaihe.

    At the same time, the Japanese army raided southern Shandong twice in a row, resulting in the loss of all strongholds in the defense area.  In view of the increasingly dangerous situation in the Sulu War Zone and the need for reinforcement of the troops in the war zone, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government ordered the base areas in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu to be abandoned and transferred to northern Anhui and Fuyang, Anhui.

    In addition, the Yimeng guerrilla base of the National Army in southern Shandong was also lost in the Japanese "mopping up" in 1941. At present, the national army in central and western Shandong is in a state of collapse under the continuous "mopping up" by the Japanese army. The 92nd Army is planned to go to reinforceThe Li Xianzhou Department of the Army was defeated again in the friction with the Eighth Route Army in southwest Shandong.

    In desperation, the Nationalist Government had to evacuate the national troops from the Sulu area. At this point, the Japanese army completely occupied the entire Shandong and Jiangsu.

    It is worth mentioning that although Okamura Neiji ostensibly warned the troops to "abstain from killing, burning, and robbing" during military operations, he should pursue the "three commandments policy" during raids.  However, secretly still allowing the troops to implement the Sanguang policy, Okamura Neiji adopted completely different methods towards the people in the city and the Chinese people in the countryside.

    In cities and towns, the Japanese army is very courteous to ordinary people. As long as they pay money and food on time, everything else can be lenient.

    However, the common people in the guerrilla zones still adhere to the three-guang policy. In just two raids, tens of thousands of houses in western and southern Shandong areas were destroyed or directly burned by Japanese artillery fire. Tens of millions of kilograms of grain and a large number of livestock were destroyed by the Japanese puppets  The army looted, tens of thousands of people were killed, and more than 1,300 people were taken away.

    The Japanese and puppet troops also committed several mass murders in these areas. In the early morning of January 8, 1943, the Japanese troops who raided Ju County marched to Zhoujiakou Village and immediately completely surrounded the small village. Due to the sudden incident,  Therefore, no one in the village escaped. The people in the village were driven into three courtyards by the Japanese and puppet troops and were shot with machine guns.

    In this atrocity, 264 people were massacred, the youngest of whom was only 3 months old and the oldest was 78 years old.

    On January 13, the Japanese garrison in Yinan County suddenly dispatched and attacked Liuzhuang, 22 miles south of the city. More than 20 wounded national soldiers who were recovering in Zhuangzi were captured. The Japanese tied these people to wooden stakes.  , and then drove everyone in the village to the village head, forcing the people to watch the Japanese army slaughter these wounded Chinese soldiers.

    Half an hour later, all the wounded were executed in front of the Liuzhuang villagers. Some were disemboweled and some were stabbed to death.

    The most horrifying thing is that the skulls of two people were smashed open, the brains were taken out, and they were mixed with white corn porridge and boiled. They named it "Kai Nao Porridge". After it was cooked, the villagers were forced to drink it.

    After the incident, the people in Zhuangzi did not dare to eat white corn porridge for many years, and some did not even dare to look at it.

    Faced with the crazy attack of the Japanese army, a large number of national army generals led their troops to surrender to the enemy. In addition to Wu Wenhua mentioned earlier, there was also He Xingjian, deputy commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang's Loyalty and Salvation Army, who led 50,000 troops to surrender to the enemy in southern Jiangsu; guerrillas in the Sulu Theater  Li Changjiang, deputy commander-in-chief of the column, led eight detachments to surrender to the enemy; Yang Zhonghua, commander of the 8th Jiangsu Security Brigade of the Kuomintang, led all his troops to surrender to the enemy; Liu Yueting, deputy commander of the new 5th Army, led all his troops to surrender to the enemy; Gong Gong, commander of the 30th Division of the Kuomintang  Bingfan led the division and part of the 3rd, 9th, 17th, 80th, and 93rd armies, a total of 22,000 people, to surrender to the enemy; Bi Zeyu, commander of the 69th Army of the Kuomintang, led his troops to surrender to the enemy.

    In a very short period of time, the national army¡¯s military power in North China suffered heavy losses!

    At the same time, the Japanese troops in Jizhong, under the command of the First Army Headquarters, launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army defense areas on both sides of the railway line.

    In less than two months, many Eighth Route Army guerrillas were crippled. The Japanese army even occupied Fuping and Hepingshan and other places. The Eighth Route Army suffered a huge blow.

    The successive military victories also quickly boosted the originally low morale of the North China Front Army.

    Secondly, a large number of anti-Japanese forces suffered a devastating blow, and the Japanese army had great intentions of re-attacking southern Hebei and other places, which made everyone in the Hebei-Cha war zone panic.

    The failure in the Sulu War Zone has made many people in the Hebei-Cha War Zone feel discouraged. Coupled with the secret solicitation and inducement of the Japanese army, many people in the Hebei-Cha War Zone are already flirting with the Japanese army.

    Since this raid was assisted by the Japanese special forces and intelligence agencies, neither the small guerrillas nor the regular troops were spared, and the losses in just over a month were extremely heavy.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
