Just when Deng Chenggong was struggling to fight the first battle, the base area south of Shijiazhuang of the militia column ushered in heavy encirclement and suppression of three Japanese divisions. The Japanese, who was rare to be generous, actually adopted a net-style clearing method to erode the base area of ​​the militia column step by step. So much so that Hu Guangzong, who was responsible for commanding the defense operations, felt so frustrated and uncomfortable when he looked at the base area that disappeared day by day.

Another place surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese soldiers was launched based on Zhangjiakou, another important military city in North China. The Japanese gathered a lot of heavy troops here, mainly one main division, and the rest were equipped with several mixed brigades. In short, at the beginning of the sweeping battle, the Japanese marched and advanced very slowly but solidly.

The reserve militia troops that originally wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble for the Japanese were simply useless to use these Japanese troops that were at least marching at the brigade level, and could only transfer the people on the Japanese route as much as possible.

Seeing the smooth progress of the mobilization campaign, the new commander of the garrison, Neji Kamura, was naturally very happy. Of course, he knew very well that his main sweeping troops had not fought with the main force of the militia column. This means that the main force of the militia column might hide in that dark corner and wait for the right opportunity to attack.

Even though he could not understand the direction of the main militia's main force, he ordered the sweeping troops to advance step by step. The main division was responsible for clearing out the regular troops of the militia column, and the city troops and puppet troops followed behind began to build fortifications in the townships occupied by the militia columns in the past to prevent the revival of the militia columns after the sweeping.

This kind of sweeping method like an iron barrel really made the brigade commanders of Hu Guangzong and other columns. After all, if you fight head-on with the Japanese main division, you will not be able to beat others unless you fill in your life.

It was precisely because of the Japanese's steady progress like grinding tofu this time that Hu Guangzong finally understood why Deng Chenggong transferred the main force in advance before the Japanese took action. When encountering such a cautious Japanese commander, even if Deng Chenggong and those elite troops were there, the winner would probably be against the Japanese. Therefore, while Hu Guangzong carefully judged the Japanese's marching route, he began to look forward to the news of Deng Cheng's army far away in eastern North China.

Compared with these people in charge of fighting abroad, Xu Mingyuan, who was once again in charge of the Yinlong Base, was undoubtedly the easiest but busiest one. Like Hu Guangzong, he has been looking forward to the news of good news from Deng. After all, this Japanese raid made some grassroots militia worried whether the North China militia column could survive this level.

Looking at another telegram sent by Deng Chenggong, Xu Mingyuan was very unaware that Deng Chenggong would not fight hard and always gave some inexplicable orders. He had asked him to send people to find a place near the base to build an airport, but now he had asked him to transfer the engineer troops to repair the airport, and it was also two airports in the south and east.

What can I do when I repair this thing?

The militia column did not have planes, but Xu Mingyuan, as the "steward" of the militia column, immediately ordered the column engineers to enter the valleys that he had found in the early stage to build the airport, and repaired an airport runway that could be concealed and used for aircraft take-off and landing.

The requirements for building airports in the past are not as high as those of later generations. As long as the ground is hard and flat enough, it can basically meet the requirements of aircraft take-off and landing. The only difference from other airports is that Deng Chenggong requires that air defense be used in the construction of airports, and even when building the airport, air defense facilities must be built. The few air defense equipment stored in the base was also equipped around this airport with only airbath but no aircraft at the same time.

Just when the simple airports in the two southeastern areas were completed, the Japanese army's sweeping of the North China militia column reached its peak. The militia column, whose space had been compressed to the limit, finally began to have head-on contact with the Japanese sweeping troops based on the regiment-level brigade. For a moment, the mountains and villages in the southwest base of the column were filled with gunfire all day long. It seemed that he realized that he had caught the pain in the militia column, and was very excited to order the troops to eliminate the militia units that dared to fight with them at all costs.

Compared with the Japanese army's equipment, the militia units have complete defensive fortifications, which are built at key passes. Even the Japanese dispatched 150 caliber howitzers were deployed. Although the daily casualties of the militia column increased day by day, the Japanese attacked also felt uncomfortable. After all, attacking such strong fortifications that do not blow up or even useless to dispatch aircraft.

The time and strength spent on the Japanese were enough to grin in pain. As Hu Guangzong, who also made the Japanese impatient, said, Deng Chenggong once said, the people in the North China base area were as many as the Japanese in one country. They just filled their lives. If one cannot exchange for one Japanese, then two or more Japanese would fight with Japanese. Let’s see who they could not bear in the end!

Looking at Deng Chenggong, who was in a state of intense fighting in the southwest base, although the expression on his face was still calm, he still seemed very anxious. It was not until Deng Chenggong, who had spent more than a month to carefully collect and investigate the specific combat plan, finally summoned the commanders of several troops who were also anxious and angry to meet.

After all the officers who trotted and arrived after receiving the notice, Deng Chenggong said with a serious expression: "I guess you have been waiting for a while, right? Today I can tell you that the specific combat plan has been confirmed. We can finally let go of our hands and have fun with the Japanese here. The Japanese don't want to wipe out our southwest base, so I will wipe out his Beiping City. Who feels sorry when I see it!"

What!

After more than a month of war, this battle will be to fight Peking. Although the people who are sitting here know that this commander likes to play big things, fighting a big battle like Peking cannot be defeated by just talking. If one is not done well, it may really hurt their army!

Liu Shuangquan, the commander of the First Militia Division, who already has certain experience in commanding large troops, seemed a little worried: "Commander, Peiping is an important center of the Japanese. I am afraid that with our little troops, it should be difficult to capture it? Besides, to attack such a large city with strong city defense, you must use heavy artillery to break through. Once the Japanese discover our artillery division, how can we solve the problem when we call for the plane to support it?"

Deng Chenggong seemed very happy that Liu Shuangquan had transformed from an ordinary copycat bandit to a division-level military commander who could truly think independently: "Yes, Ergouzi had indeed made great progress when he became a master. He even considered this! Don't worry, I will not touch the Japanese devils' bad luck without being sure. As long as you remember, complete the task I assigned to you, the rest depends on how I, the commander, command it."

Seeing that Deng Chenggong seemed to be full of confidence, the military chiefs at all levels who attended the meeting were a little relieved. If it were occupied Nanjing at this time, it was a major city known as the capital of China. Then in the minds of the Chinese people, Peking may have the status of Nanjing, the capital controlled by the Kuomintang.

With the first combat order issued, the troops brought by Deng Chenggong became more foils, and the Xianghe Militia Regiment seemed to have become the protagonist. Because Deng Chenggong's first combat plan was to let the Xianghe Militia Regiment siege Xianghe City 30 kilometers away from the base.

If it weren't for knowing that this siege was just a temptation, the real protagonist was the Northeast Brigade that cooperated with them in combat, and Kong Yuntai, who knew how strong his troops were, was shocked when he received the order. It was not until Deng Chenggong told him that the Northeast Brigade cooperated with them in combat that he felt a little relieved.

Thinking of the chance that he finally had a chance to trouble those Japanese soldiers in the county that they usually chased them, Kong Yuntai couldn't help but get excited after the meeting. Attacking the county town, this is a very eye-catching thing when the Japanese army is heavily storing hostile forces in North China.

As the Xianghe Militia Regiment began to return, the militia troops with a force of more than 2,000 began to attack along some military roads outside the county town where they did not dare to approach. This kind of attack, which was like seeking death, quickly aroused the vigilance of the Kaghe Castle Defense Officer Kimura Taro.

Because in his opinion, how could this Xianghe militia regiment, which usually only escape and transfer when he saw him sending troops to encircle and suppress the county town at such a sensitive time?

If he was seeking death, Taro Kimura would probably not believe that the militia commander had the soul power to pull out thousands of people in the entire regiment to die. There must be a ghost among them!

Therefore, what Kong Yuntai did not expect was that the militia regiment that had allocated all Japanese strongholds in Xianghe County did not encounter a threatening counterattack by the Japanese. Until the Xianghe Militia regiment successfully surrounded Xianghe City, Kong Yuntai, a warrior who had never felt that it was so easy to fight. For a moment, he was chased by the Japanese several times, arrogantly asked the militia to launch a slogan to let Taro Kimura get out of the Xianghe City to surrender.

This scene fell into the eyes of some nearby people, and they immediately became interested in this militia regiment that they didn't think was very powerful. Perhaps in the eyes of the people, they would not dare to say anything if they could force the city defense officials of a county town to this point. They still had some strength. No matter how they said that this kind of name-and-defying provocation with a bit of bandit habit is still very in line with the taste of the people who hate the Japanese.
