I really came here to fight against Japan

Thinking of this, the puppet army commander was so scared that he broke out in a sweat.

This Japanese battalion commander belonged to the Southern Field Force.

He came to Hebei to help the local garrison troops to sweep the Eighth Route Army base.

In the south, they had been fighting positional battles with the troops from the temporary capital.

They had no idea about the flexible and changeable guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army in North China.

Otherwise, an army of less than 2,000 people would not have been helplessly teased by a platoon of the Eighth Route Army for two days and two nights.

If this pseudo-army commander was in charge of commanding the battle, it would not have turned out so ugly.

He was just about to persuade the Japanese captain to break out of this dangerous area as soon as possible, but he found it was too late.

The Japanese captain also discovered the abnormality at the same time.

Just as he gave the order, all the light and heavy machine guns were deployed.

When they were preparing to eliminate the Eighth Route Army that was blocking the road ahead.

A barrage of incoming mortar shells exploded on his machine gun position.

Then the Type 92 infantry gun and even the Type 41 mountain gun began to fire at his troops.

Such unreasonable bombardment,

When he was fighting in southern China, he had a force called the "Militia Division", and the government army of the temporary capital used this style of fighting.

The Japanese captain knew that he had run into a tough opponent in the Chinese army.

He immediately ordered a retreat, but his retreat was already lost.

Because the puppet army commander who was left behind hid to the side and surrendered on the spot when the artillery fire started.

He is a local boss nearby and knows all the ins and outs here.

From the noise made when they bombarded the Japanese just now, he knew that it was the troops of the 7th Guerrilla Division coming this way.

Only they would be willing to use artillery shells in this way. They are really wasteful!

The Seventh Guerrilla Division has always disliked taking prisoners.

So, there was only the military sub-district training camp of the Eighth Route Army after the surrender.

Only then will they have a chance to survive.

After all, the Eighth Route Army still has a policy on prisoners.

If we fall into the hands of the guerrilla division, we will be dead for sure.

Now the Japanese captain Takahashi feels that he has no other choice.

Faced with the equally formidable guerrilla division and the militia division in Jiangnan, he could only order a retreat to the mountains.

The Eighth Route Army used only one squad of soldiers, but they blocked the enemy's attack with nearly 2,000 men for a whole day.

I have a battalion, but now I only have less than two squadrons of soldiers left.

This strength is definitely stronger than those of the Eighth Route Army.

As long as I can hold on for a few hours, I believe that Japanese soldiers passing by will come to rescue me.

They could also take the opportunity to break out, so now they can only retreat to the top of the mountain and use the terrain to resist.

The military situation in this area has changed today. The Japanese have been targeting the Huyashan Military Sub-district and have been fighting against it for several days.

Unexpectedly, starting from this morning, the Japanese mopping-up troops began to withdraw their troops.

The retreat was so sudden that the Eighth Route Army, which was still escorting their fellow villagers and heading into the mountains, discovered that there were no pursuers behind them.

They went back and caught a few tongues, only to find that the situation had changed.

The National Army's Seventh Guerrilla Division, which had usually kept a distance from them, arrived.

Their troops suddenly penetrated into the area between the Huyashan base and the Japanese stronghold.

Then they directly captured the brigade headquarters of the Japanese mopping-up force.

There was also an infantry regiment responsible for guarding the house, but they were trapped in the county town and were beaten up by the guerrilla division.

Now all the Japanese mopping-up troops are rushing back to the county town to rescue their brigade commander.

In this way, the leader of the Huyashan Military Sub-district had the manpower to rescue Platoon Leader Guan and others.

They have been keeping an eye on Platoon Leader Guan's movements over the past two days.

At that time, they were almost discovered by the Japanese mopping-up troops.

In order to protect the safety of them and their fellow villagers, Platoon Leader Guan deliberately exposed his target.

Led the Japanese soldiers who were raiding the base to the desperate situation on Huya Mountain.

Now the Japanese soldiers in the base area have begun to retreat.

They also quickly dispatched powerful troops to support the desperate situation at Huya Mountain.

See if you can rescue those heroes who put their own lives at risk.

The Seventh Guerrilla Division fighting in Hebei has now grown into four columns.

The land on the Hebei Plain is fertile, with numerous villages and towns and a dense population.

With Wang Bidada's secret help, it was very easy for the guerrilla division to recruit soldiers.

The column under the Seventh Guerrilla Division is aiming to become a real army-level unit.

They are not like the Loyal and Patriotic Army of the National Army outside, which has only one or two thousand people and dares to report that they are a guerrilla column.

They reported to the outside world that they had 50,000 troops. The reason they reported a smaller number was that they were afraid of scaring the bigwigs in the attendant room of the temporary capital.

What Song Wenwan meant was that the Seventh Division of Hebei should strive to develop a main force of 100,000 people by the end of 1944.

This allows them to quickly capture large cities like Beijing and Tianjin.

Or go straight to Shanhaiguan and occupy key nodes.

Cut off the connection between the Northeast and the interior, and prepare for the subsequent strategic counterattack.

Lu Changfeng, the commander of the Seventh Guerrilla Division, is Song Wenwan’s uncle-in-law.

Even though they are two friends who grew up together naked, the other person is of higher generation than him.

Moreover, Lu Changfeng is an old party member with twelve years of party membership and was one of the first group of people to join the party in Longshui.

Because he could follow his family's caravan and travel back and forth between various cities in Gansu.

So the Gansu Provincial Party Committee at that time made him a courier.

It is precisely this relationship that makes the relationship between him and Wang Bidada very harmonious.

He also had a deep understanding of Song Wenwan's strategic intentions.

What does it mean to develop a main force of more than 100,000 in Hebei?

Wouldn't there be a local force of 200,000 and a militia of 300,000?

My uncle-in-law calculated that it would be just right for them to develop an army of 600,000 people in Hebei.

(Song Wenwan burst into tears: My little uncle, I was using addition, why did you change it to multiplication?)

So now, Division Commander Lu Changfeng is working hard to complete the upgrade of the Seventh Guerrilla Division before the end of this year.

Four columns of 30,000 people, plus a division guard brigade.

The main force of 130,000 troops exceeded the task of expanding the 7th Guerrilla Division two years ahead of schedule.

If you ask him how many armed forces he has at his disposal, the answer is that he doesn't know either.

During these days, he was dealing with the Japanese's retaliatory raids.

He suddenly received a telegram from Brother Ren Jiu from Longshui Headquarters, asking him to pay attention to his nephew's movements.

At first he didn't care much until Suo Wuxing and Qin Haichuan also sent him telegrams.

When asked if he had seen Song Wenwan, he realized the seriousness of the matter: their Commander Song was missing.

Counting the days, Song Wenwan has been missing for almost a week.

When this news came out, Lu Changfeng was really panicked.

After calculating the time and distance Song Wenwan took to come out, Lu Changfeng made his own judgment.

Song Wenwan must have been blocked somewhere by the Japanese who came out to raid the place while she was taking a break.

Along the way from Suiyuan to North China, the Japanese invaders in the Huya Mountain area were the most violent.
