Chapter 489: Battle of the Hundred Regiments

This time, Okamura Ningji put on the hat of wearing the hat of meritorious service, summed up his experience in several defeats given to him by Jiang Haoran, improved the plan for clearing the countryside again, adjusted his tactics, and formulated the "Huairou Policy", "Encroachment Policy" and "Prison Policy" for the occupied areas. [800]

The so-called "Huairou policy" was to induce the common people to be pro-Japanese in the occupied areas, but those who were pro-Japanese could not only get food and money, but also gain the respect of the imperial army and enjoy the same treatment as Japanese expatriates. As for the anti-Japanese armed forces, as long as they surrender to sincerity, they will not be investigated for past affairs, and they will be promised high-ranking officials.

The so-called "encroachment policy" refers to the use of pillboxes and barbed wire in the occupied areas to gradually shrink and suppress the living space of anti-Japanese elements, so that anti-Japanese elements of various forces have nothing to hide and have nothing to rely on, so as to achieve the goal of extermination.

The "cage policy" was to divide and encircle the anti-Japanese base areas and sweep them repeatedly.

I have to say that Okamura Ningji's poisonous schemes are quite powerful and very self-aware. After last year's emergency conscription, the Japanese army transferred 30 divisions and regiments from the Japanese mainland, plus the original 300,000 Kwantung Army, and the Japanese garrison in North China had reached more than 700,000 at this time. However, relying on these more than 700,000 Japanese soldiers alone, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to rule all the vast northeastern regions, and as soon as Okamura Ningji's poisonous plan came out, coupled with the Wang puppet government and the provisional government of Wang Kemin in the northeast, countless Kuomintang armed forces behind enemy lines, doorway armed forces, bandit armed forces, etc., when their survival was threatened, they all changed their course under the banner of saving the country with curves. 800 "There was even Cai Xiongfei, the commander of a division of the Jin Sui Army, who led a division of troops to surrender to the Wang puppet government, and Qi Xieyuan, a remnant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, took the opportunity to set up the North China Appeasement Army in North China, under the jurisdiction of 12 group armies, and wantonly recruited these surrendered troops, and by the end of August, the number of troops had reached a terrifying 500,000.

This round of the wave of Japanese surrender not only impacted the Kuomintang's base areas behind enemy lines, but also was an unprecedented test for the Eighth Route Army, and the living space was extremely severely damaged.

Originally, the Japanese army began to decline in the second half of last year, although the regular war against North China has not stopped, but the intensity is not large, and the Eighth Route Army has also developed rapidly during this period, and in the same period of history, the number of formal troops in the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army is about 400,000, but now it is more than 500,000, and this does not include the unofficial armed forces such as county brigades and district squads.

After the arrival of Okamura Ningji, this series of heavy punches simply made the Eighth Route Army breathless. The Japanese army and the puppet army used railways and highways as pillars to carry out frequent sweeps against the Japanese base areas, and attempted to cut off the ties between the strategic areas of Taihang and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, and carried out the so-called "cage policy" of "using railways as pillars, highways as chains, and pillboxes as locks." The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army decided to launch a traffic sabotage war, focusing on the Zhengtai Railway and the northern section of the Tongpu Road, so as to deal a powerful blow to the Japanese North China Front. In the North China communication line, the Zhengtai Railway occupies a very important position, it crosses the Taihang Mountain, is the link connecting the Pinghan and Tongpu railways, is one of the important strategic transportation lines of the Japanese army in North China, the offensive campaign of the Eighth Route Army was first launched in the Zhengtai Railway.

In a period of more than a month, the Eighth Route Army, under the command of General Peng, mobilized nearly 200 regiments and regiments to launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese puppet army on a front several kilometers long in North China, uprooting the enemy's pillboxes and strongholds close to the base areas, blowing up railways, bridges, and highways, and completely paralyzing the Japanese army's communication lines. It also dealt a heavy blow to the puppet army that had just surrendered, annihilating the Japanese puppet army of 150,000 people, and seizing countless weapons, which also played a role in curbing the wave of the surrender of the sun, which was the famous battle of the hundred regiments.

The chairman of the committee was shocked, and immediately broke out into a thunderous rage, and even scolded more than a dozen words of "Niang Xipi" still did not understand his hatred, and a table of articles and teacups were swept away by him, and the generals and staff officers of the headquarters were frightened and silent.

After the GCD Long March, there were only more than 20,000 people left, and after cooperation, the reorganized Eighteenth Group Army, but the establishment of the B Division of the three divisions, six brigades and twelve regiments, a total of less than 40,000 people, in less than three years now, has actually reached 200 regiments, and can eat more than 100,000 horses of the Japanese puppet army in one go. This makes the chairman of the NPC National Committee, who has always advocated that "if you go outside, you must first secure the inside," how can you not be angry.

Because of the chairman's anger, the atmosphere in the entire command headquarters was tense for a while, and after a long time, Admiral He sighed and said worriedly: "Now that the Japanese army is in decline, I think it's time to free up my hands and cut their wings?" ”

"Cut their wings? How to cut it, do you want us to self-destruct the contract and fight with them in this extraordinary time? Chen Chen said.

Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of general staff, took Chen Chen's words and said: "It's not appropriate for us to do it ourselves, but if we borrow someone else's hand, it's not impossible?" ”

"Lending someone else's hand? Whose hand to borrow? When the chairman heard this, he was immediately moved, and his face looked much better.

"By the hands of devils, of course!" Bai Chongxi replied affirmatively: "The devils have just suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it is certain that they have resentment, and they will definitely have to find some face from them, if we find someone to communicate with the Japanese army, as long as the Japanese army is willing to exterminate the Eighth Route Army with all its might, we will not only sit idly by, but also contribute to it, I think the Japanese army will definitely like to hear it." ”

"Well, that's a good plan!" The chairman nodded, then turned to Dai Li and said: "Yunong, this matter will be handled by you, you immediately contact the military command stations in Nanjing and Beiping, and ask them to send people to contact Wang Kemin in Beiping and Wang Jingwei in Nanjing, and ask them to talk to the Japanese about this matter!" ”

"Okay, take a seat! I'll arrange it right away. However, the Japanese army in central China may not take action against the New Fourth Army, especially the New Fourth Army in the Zhejiang and Jiangxi areas, which is simply growing stronger and stronger under Jiang Haoran's wings, I heard that the New Fourth Army in the Guangjing Gangshan area is stationed in a regiment, but the strength has exceeded the scale of 10,000 people, this is simply ignoring the leader's orders, Yan zhòng expanded privately, I think, it is time to teach them a lesson? Dai Li's face was gloomy and authentic - 29219 + d80ok0bo + 19678602 - >
