Ma Wanzhong is good at contacting the locks on the hills, but this doesn't mean that the locks on the hills really want to follow them! It's one thing to say it, it's one thing to take action! If Ma Wanzhong leads his troops to fight and defeat the little devils repeatedly, the bandits will also move depending on the situation, you have lost the battle every time, why are they still following Ma Wanzhong, are they being chased and beaten by the little devils all day long?

Therefore, Ma Wanzhong and they must take action, if a small army is assigned to attack the Japanese army, the locks on the major hills will not regard Ma Wanzhong and them as regular troops at all, as the real leader.

"Don't worry, there's still a month left for winter to pass!"

Ma Wanzhong was not in a hurry at all, although the locks on the major mountains did not cooperate with their actions, but for the sake of money, they still replenished Ma Wanzhong and them through their channels, and with enough materials, Ma Wanzhong had the capital to consume with the Japanese army! So Ma Wanzhong is not in a hurry, the most important thing is that the current weather is too unfavorable for the actions of the large army, so Ma Wanzhong can only let the troops harass on a small scale!

No matter how much advantage is taken on the side of the little devil, it is a big advantage, this is Ma Wanzhong's idea, after all, what a Japanese army does on Chinese soil may be a big thing.

The bandits around Ma Wanzhong have been in a wait-and-see state, although they promised Ma Wanzhong to fight with him for the sake of resisting the Japanese, but they can't put all their own family resources on the line for the sake of resisting Japan!

"Commander, you mean to wait until the winter is over before you act?" The staff officer asked.

"Let's see, now it's covered with snow everywhere, the troops are too large-scale and too easy to expose, I'm waiting to see!"

Ma Wanzhong also knew that time could not be delayed for too long, if it continued to be delayed, not only would he have lost patience, but even the bandits would have lost patience, thinking that they would not dare to fight with the little devils! For Ma Wanzhong, what they lack is an opportunity, as long as he has the opportunity, why don't he want to act!

Although the Soviets did not take the initiative to attack them, the little devils knew that the Soviets would definitely fight with them if they had the opportunity, and as long as their main forces in the northeast were beaten to the point where they had no combat effectiveness, the Soviets would not have to worry about the safety of the Far East!

And now that Japan, Germany and Italy have reached an alliance, if pressure is not put on the Soviets at this time, the Soviet troops in the Far East will be transferred to the Eastern Front to participate in the battle against the Germans.

As for the battlefields in North China and South China, they have been on the defensive since the end of the battle in Wuhan, and it is already difficult to launch a large-scale offensive!

And in North China, at the beginning, almost all the top Japanese leaders opposed Okamura Ninji's withdrawal to Beiping! Because on the Chinese battlefield, such a large-scale retreat of the Japanese army was the first time, and it was an insult to their reputation as a soldier of the Imperial Japan! But in the next period of time, with the role played by Okamura Ninji's troops in the Pingjin area, everyone was silenced!

In the Japanese base camp, even the Japanese emperor attached great importance to Okamura Ninji and wanted to hand over the entire Chinese army in the pass to Okamura Ninji to command! But Okamura Ninji refused, it's not that he has no ambition, controlling so many troops can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person! But Okamura Ninji knew his opponent, and he had to concentrate on dealing with Taihang Mountain, not fighting the regular Chinese army!

And there are many famous generals in Japan, and there is no shortage of commanders on the battlefield in southern China! The most threatening to the Japanese army in China is the troops in the Taihang Mountains, and if the Japanese army in China collapses on a large scale, then it is useless how many troops he Okamura Ninji controls.

As for the affairs of the Northeast, Okamura Ninji didn't pay attention to it at all, if millions of Japanese troops couldn't control the scene in the Northeast, they would simply retreat back to the island and be a turtle with a shrunken head!

Okamura Ningji didn't know that the power of Taihang Mountain had extended to the northeast, and it took more than half a year for Ma Wanzhong and his troops to take root in the northeast! As long as there is an opportunity, they can continue to grow and develop.

Maybe Okamura Ninji focused all his energy on Taihang Mountain and believed in the strength of the Kwantung Army too much, so Okamura Ninji didn't care much about the situation of the Kwantung Army!

"Your Excellency General, the Chinese army is building a large-scale railway!" A Japanese army staff officer reports to Okamura Ninji!

"Building a railroad? Isn't that normal? ”

With the stability of the rear, it is inevitable to develop, and the construction of infrastructure is the most necessary, not only for the common people, but also for the military at critical times! Transportation is the lifeblood of the troops! In the past year, Okamura Ningji has become accustomed to the development of Taihang Mountain, and he doesn't think it's worth making a fuss about Liao Fan.

"Your Excellency, this is the route they are building the railway!"

The general looked at the map handed to him by the staff officer, and there were three red lines marked on it, the three red lines all started in Shanxi, and the final place was in Outer Mongolia, as for whether it continued to extend northward, they did not know.

"They have been cooperating with the Soviets a lot lately, and these railways must have been built to the Soviet Union for the convenience of transporting supplies, right?"

It is no secret that Taihang Mountain is working closely with the Soviets, and Okamura Ninji already knows this information! Since the two countries want to cooperate, it is very natural to build a railway, and there is no need to make a fuss about this kind of thing!

"Your Excellency General, but this is too abnormal, according to the current exchanges between Taihang Mountain and the Soviets, two railway lines are enough, plus the railway line under construction now, they have five railway lines to the north! We wonder if Taihang Mountain is going to transport troops to the north! The staff officer said anxiously.

Taihang Mountain did have good contacts with the Soviets, and a small half of the equipment produced in Shanxi was given to Taihang Mountain, so there was no need for too many railway lines to transport weapons to the Soviet Union! And the sudden emergence of so many railway lines has to make people suspicious.

Okamura Ninji also began to doubt in his heart that if he was in a hurry to transport equipment to the Soviet Union, the railway lines should be built one by one, and they could be used when they were built, and it would save time! However, this time, the construction of three railway lines at the same time completely increased the time and reduced the efficiency!

"Could it be that Taihang Mountain really has other plans!"

Okamura Ninji began to suspect Taihang Mountain's plan to suddenly build three new railway lines, and judging from the map, these three railway lines did not pass through densely populated places, almost a straight line to the north! It can be concluded that these three new railway lines are definitely not built for people's livelihood, and may be used for people's livelihood in the future, but it is absolutely impossible now.

"Let our troops infiltrate Taihang Mountain and Shanxi and investigate their purpose for building the railway!"

In any case, it is much safer to find out the situation first than to wait for the construction of these three railway lines and then figure out the purpose of Taihang Mountain, if Taihang Mountain really has other plans, he Okamura Ningji can prepare early.

However, how could Liao Fan reveal his purpose at the beginning of the plan! Except for the construction of railways to recruit migrant workers, there was no military operation in Taihang Mountain! And the purpose of this plan is not only to discuss the plan together, but also to know everyone!

Even if the little devil can guess their plans, Liao Fan has other arrangements! Taihang Mountain's equipment has changed one after another, and he is no longer afraid of little devils at all! What Taihang Mountain is really afraid of is that the little devil is holding all kinds of things on Chinese land as a shield, so Liao Fan has to use some means.

The railway was built with the help of Soviet engineers, after all, these three railway lines could go straight to the Soviet Union, and they could also benefit the Soviets, and of course the Soviets had to intervene!

In fact, Liao Fan didn't want the Soviets to interfere, but this time the plan was going to pass through the Soviet Union, so they had no choice, since they had to be at the mercy of others! And the bad thing about handing over the railway line to the Soviets is that the standards of the railway line will be built according to the specifications of the Soviet railway line!

If something happens in the future, the Soviets can also use these three railway lines to go south and pose a threat to the hinterland of China!

Originally, Liao Fan also planned to use the railway line for people's livelihood after the war, but Liao Fan had already planned to dismantle these three railway lines after they lost their military value, and then rebuild the railway lines according to Chinese standards, even if they wanted to be retained, they could not be kept at the same time! This is a dangerous thing for China.

Japanese reconnaissance planes appeared on the railway line almost every day, and they were driven away by anti-aircraft guns! What makes Liao Fan strange is that the Japanese bombers have not appeared either! The most visible in the sky were three Japanese reconnaissance planes!

In fact, since the little devil started the four-front operation, the Japanese army has begun to decline, especially in the Pacific theater, the Japanese army seems to have an advantage in the early stage, but under the crazy speed of the Japanese army, the situation of the Japanese army is getting worse and worse! Especially the loss of ships and planes makes the little devil's heart bleed!

Most of the Japanese planes have been transferred to the Pacific theater, and for the Japanese army, Chinese planes without air supremacy are a waste! But the little devil didn't know that with the tilt of the war filling, the only advantage of the Japanese army in China would gradually disappear!

Moreover, the Japanese army is an island country, and the speed of production cannot keep up with the speed of war consumption. Through the war, it seems that the Japanese army occupies a vast land, but their troops have suffered huge losses, most of the labor force has already joined the army, and there are very few labor forces that can do production! And the age of soldiers in the army began to polarize, and there were fewer and fewer young people!

In other words, if the Japanese army wants to win this war, it must be calculated! We can't afford to waste every combat power.
