By the time Yang Ling and his men captured Qinghe Town, the Chinese army's troops in all theaters had already launched an attack on the enemy in front of them.

The Second Theater of Operations, which served as the main attacker, cut off the Zhengtai Railway and the Tongpu Railway, and was purging the enemy in southern Jinnan, and the Third Theater had 11 divisions of troops cutting off the Yangtze River waterway, and launched a powerful offensive against Tongling, Madang, and other important towns along the Yangtze River. The troops of the Fifth Theater were already engaged with the field troops of the devils in Xinyang and Wuhan, and the advance was approaching Hankou, and there was a great tendency to regain Wuhan in one fell swoop.

The troops of the 9th Theater once again organized a strong force to launch an offensive on the front line of Nanchang, Ruichang and Jiujiang.

In addition to the above-mentioned main attack theaters, in the eighth theater in the north, General Fu Zuoyi also launched an attack on Wuyuan, Baotou and other places, and the galloping cavalry units of the Northwest Army beat the devils to the ground.

When the field armies on the front swept the attack on the devils in front of them, more than one million guerrilla troops were transferred behind enemy lines, and the security forces also took active action.

These guerrilla forces and security forces lacked strong artillery support, so they could only attack railways, block canals, sabotage roads, and attack the strongholds of the Japanese puppet army.

Beginning in mid-November, the Chinese army launched a powerful attack on them with lightning speed.

For a time, from the desert in the north to the water towns in the south, from Hunan in the west to the Sulu Theater in the east, on a front of several thousand miles, the artillery roared and the smoke of gunpowder filled, and the brave Chinese army launched the first counteroffensive since the devils invaded China.

"Report, the first war zone has recovered Kaifeng, Shangqiu!"

"Report, the second war zone has recovered more than ten county towns such as Licheng and Shexian."

"Good news! The Fourth War Zone killed Masao Nakamura, the commander of the Devil Major General Brigade! ”

......

Telegrams from various localities were constantly collected into the Chongqing Command through various channels, and each good news made the generals and staff officers in the Headquarters cheer in bursts.

"The recovery of rivers and mountains is just around the corner!" In the face of the good news from various places, Deputy Chief of General Staff Bai was full of excitement.

"Inform the ambassadors and reporters of all countries that we will tell our friends about this victory and let them see that the Chinese soldiers are invincible, and China will not die!"

The Chongqing Command was filled with an atmosphere of victory, and although the devils had received some information in advance that the Chinese army was going to counterattack in winter, they did not pay attention to it.

When the Chinese army launched a large-scale offensive across the country, the devil troops stationed in various places were immediately blindfolded.

In the face of the rapid artillery fire around and the Chinese troops surrounded by black pressure, the garrisons of devils in various places were noisy for a while and suffered heavy losses.

"We are attacked by a large number of Chongqing troops and need support!"

"The 8th Wing was attacked by an unknown number of Chongqing troops, and more than half of them were damaged, and they were in urgent need of ammunition and medicine......"

"Our Sixth Division was attacked head-on by the Chongqing Army with the number of five divisions, and at this moment it is guarding Tongcheng and waiting for reinforcements."

"My 3rd Division is shrinking its defenses."

"A large number of armed forces appeared in the vicinity of the 5th Division, requesting tactical guidance from reconnaissance aircraft."

......

When the good news from Chongqing was frequent, the telegrams from the Central China and North China Commands of the devils for help flew like snowflakes.

The speed and scope of the Chinese army's attack was unprecedented, which made the devils stationed in various places panic for a while.

When the attacked Devil Soldier Garrison Brigade was attacked, it immediately called for help from the Wing, but the telephone line had already been secretly cut off.

And the situation of the devil's wing-level troops is not much better, not only have they lost contact with their subordinate brigades, but they have also encountered powerful attacks.

In particular, the situation was even worse with the divisions of the 11th Army, which were stationed at the front line to confront the main Chinese forces.

Not only did they have to withstand the attack of the main Chinese forces in front, but they also had to prevent being attacked from behind the smoke, and they were encircled.

The devils everywhere are in a state of fighting on their own, because they don't get any support, and all the garrisons and troops are under attack.

"Quickly find out the situation and judge the direction of the main attack of the Chongqing Army!" Commander Shunroku Hata faced the snowflake-like telegram for help, his face gloomy and terrifying.

However, the staff officers were busy for a long time and did not get any information, because this time the main direction of attack of the Chinese army was launched in the theater of operations, not a certain group army, attacking a group.

The devils were caught off guard, and many of the devils in the station could only stick to the station, panicking all day long.

When the devils in various places encountered large-scale attacks, the Central China and North China Commands of the devils were also busy in a mess.

In the vast area from Central China to North China, smoke and gunfire were everywhere, and the devil troops were divided and surrounded, and they fell into the danger of being wiped out.

The devil's front is too long, although they have invaded most of China in a short period of time, but this also makes them have to divide their troops to garrison various places.

In particular, after the frontal battlefield fell into a confrontation, they sent a large number of troops to the rear to carry out the so-called security operations, so that the troops were even more dispersed.

And now in the face of the all-out counteroffensive of the Chinese army, the devil troops scattered all over the country have fallen into a state of embarrassment, and their troops are stretched.

Although the devils encountered a large-scale attack and communications were completely cut off, the devils stationed in various places showed good combat qualities.

When the commanders at all levels of the devil lost contact with their superiors and friendly forces, they either defended or shrunk their defenses, and they also took active action to save themselves.

Because at this time, the base camp and the supreme headquarters of the devils were helpless, and the troops that could be directly commanded by Shunroku Hata and others were stretched.

There are calls for help everywhere, and the little troops in their hands are not enough to be firefighters, and they are ready to commit suicide by breaking their stomachs, because once the garrisons everywhere are wiped out, it will mean their complete defeat.

I have to say that this is the first time that the Chinese army has had the opportunity to completely wipe out the devil troops in China, because the devils are defenseless and their forces are scattered.

But in fact, although the troops attacking the devils were unstoppable in the early stage, after facing the stubborn resistance of the devil's garrisons in various places, the shortcomings of the lack of combat effectiveness were quickly exposed.

Many Chinese troops besieging the Devils' garrisons not only failed to take them, but suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw from the battle on their own initiative, giving the Devils time to react and support each other.

Moreover, the various units that launched an attack on the devils were not as monolithic as they were during the battle of Shanghai and Nanjing, and the central army, the local army, and the guerrilla troops all had the idea of preserving their own strength.

After all, in the last few battles, after a number of local troops that were able to fight fought viciously against devils, instead of being reorganized, they were absorbed by the Central Army, and this aroused the vigilance of many local army commanders.

Therefore, during the national counteroffensive this time, although all the troops seemed to be launching a powerful offensive against the devils, they also had reservations.

For example, Guo Xunqi, commander of the 50th Army of the Third Theater, led his troops to launch an attack on the devils for only three days, and then took the initiative to retreat on the grounds that the troops had suffered too many losses, forcing friendly troops to come under pressure and have to retreat.
