Chapter 259

In early 1942, the German army pushed into the Soviet Union on the European battlefield and was launching a fierce battle with the Soviet army. In Asia, in order to match the fascist allies of Europe, Japan launched another clearance operation against China's local resistance forces. The news of the Japanese army in North China suddenly launched a lightning-propelled attack on the Hebei-Central base area through radio stations in the Eighth and Ninety Districts. The hearts of all the military and civilians in the entire Eighth Route Army immediately became nervous.

In previous battles, the Japanese army in North China has figured out the characteristics that the intelligence network of the base area cannot penetrate into the security zone. It has maintained an ordinary small-scale military mobilization on the outside of the base area to confuse the base area's reconnaissance personnel.

However, at the end of April, a large-scale mobilization was carried out using roads and railways to use large-scale mobilization in areas far away from the base area. The time difference between the intelligence personnel in the base area was used to quickly mobilize nearly 7,000 troops, including the 110th Division, the 7th Brigade, the 9th Brigade and the 26th Division, and launch a blitzkrieg in central Hebei.

Colonel Ogawa, the captain of the 29th Brigade of the Mixed 7th Brigade, led the troops to kill the military and civilians in the base area in one network, arresting all the people in every village they swept out, sorting out the suspicious elements either caught or killed, and sometimes even caught a person just for a reason that they disliked.

This situation occurs almost simultaneously on the periphery of the Hebei-central base.

The Japanese army, relying on major counties such as Suning, Hejian, Wuji, Dingxian, Hengshui and Anguo, carried out a refined sweep of the ninth and tenth districts of the Eighth Route Army Base in the Central Hebei region, and strived to eliminate the Eighth Route Army Sub-district Command of the Revolutionary Anti-Japanese Base in the Central Hebei region.

The Japanese army suddenly appeared in front of the people in the base area surrounded every village with great momentum, shouting the order "Have a meeting, gather!" and forcibly gathered all the villagers in the village, put machine guns on them, interrogated and investigated the Communists one by one. At the same time, they opened a long line of scattered soldiers and swept through the hidden anti-Japanese cadres outside the village. Without any precaution, grassroots cadres at all levels in the base area were arrested and massacred. The grassroots cadres in all areas were severely damaged overnight, and many militia armed organizations suffered losses.

When he noticed the sudden attack of the Japanese army, the leadership of the Eighth Route Army Central Hebei in Zhanggang quickly moved and was lucky enough to jump out of the Japanese encirclement in time, causing Okamura Yasuji to empty the 110th Division, which specially prepared a large network for him. When he responded, he could not even find the shadow of the Eighth Route Army Central Hebei leadership. However, because he was worried about internal intelligence leakage, for a period of time, the radio station of the Eighth Route Army Central Hebei leadership was silently lurking, and even the Eighth Route Army headquarters could not be contacted.

"Weizi, the urgent call from the regiment headquarters! Look!" The second battalion commander pulled Li Wei, who had just returned from the field, and put a piece of paper with a gloomy face. The issuing department on the paper was the regiment headquarters of the Third Regiment, and the signing unit was the Second Battalion Department. An additional note was posted on the circulating person: Li Wei.

The second battalion commander's heart was heavy and he actually made Li Zi say that the Japanese really launched an attack in May, and it was really time to pick it up. In a few months, the first batch of food will be coming down. The Japanese killed people and robbed grain and robbed territory, and even sent people to farm. "It's really cruel!" The second battalion commander cursed the Japanese viciously in his heart. The base area has not been peaceful since the beginning of the year and now, and his life is no better than when the Red Army was back then.

When Li Wei saw the thing handed over by the second battalion commander, he was shocked all over. The expression on his face became the same as the second battalion commander. He unbuttoned the folded paper and read it carefully.

"On May 1, the Japanese army in North China launched a large-scale surprise attack on the central Hebei region... We hope that all units will be more vigilant and participate in the war at any time."

The Japanese launched an attack according to real history, but Li Wei's tendons that had been tense in his heart loosened. The historical process was inevitable after all. Alas, 1945, when will it take to get to the end? Li Wei touched his forehead in distress.

The main energy of the Japanese army's attack was currently invested in the base area of ​​Hebei. Faced with the sudden enemy attacks and refined offensives of superior forces, the boundless terrain of the central Hebei plain is no longer as complex as the Taihang Mountains in Shanxi. The anti-Japanese armed forces in Hebei could only continue to shift again and again, trying to break out of the Japanese army's overlapping encirclement. However, the intensive mobilization strategy of the Japanese army still caused many anti-Japanese armed forces to suffer heavy damage and even annihilate the entire army.

In just over ten days, the Tenth District of the Eighth Route Army, which had been sieged by the Japanese army's strongholds, had all fallen. The anti-Japanese teams in various places lost the command of the leadership of the Eighth Route Army in the central Hebei region and had to face the arduous situation of fighting on their own. A considerable number of people in the base areas were avoided by the Japanese army and had to hide in the Japanese security zone.

The main forces of the Eighth and Seventh Divisions of the Hebei region quickly launched a counterattack operation. In order to assist the Japanese army in sweeping the anti-Japanese armed forces in the area, the 17th Regiment of the Seventh District launched a crackdown on the Dingxian and Pinghan railway lines, blowing up bridges, railways, and highways in order to attract the Japanese army to sweep the main forces and reduce the pressure in the Hebei region.

The New Fourth Brigade, which was urgently ordered by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, urgently assisted the Hebei Central Military Region Command to transfer. The Shandong Column and other theater troops launched attacks on the Japanese major occupied areas, and responded to the Hebei Central Plains with all their strength to counter-sweep the sweep.

The Japanese army's large-scale mobilization in central Hebei was like a fire igniting a bunch of firecrackers, triggering a melee between the Japanese army in North China and the Eighth Route Army. Almost both sides tried their best to attack the opponent's vitals in the hope of attracting the opponent's main force to return to aid.

At various important road intersections in the mountainous areas near Liao County, the soldiers of the Liao County guerrillas fully armedly monitored the major roads leading to the Taihang Mountain Base.

A army of more than 3,000 people, wearing gray uniforms marched at full speed in the mud after the rain. The shining bayonets broke out cold lights from time to time. The entire team made no sound. Each followed closely behind the people in front. Only dense and neat steps could be heard on the mountain road.

"Stop! Which part of it!" At the dangerous place next to the road, Zhou Yan, the platoon leader of the second squadron of Liao County Guerrillas, jumped out of the temporary shelter, and Ping held a light machine gun and aimed at the team in front of him.

Since returning from the anti-sweeping campaign at the beginning of last year and after several more assisting the large army in combat, Comrade Zhou Yan has been promoted from an ordinary female soldier to the platoon leader of the second squadron of the Liao County Guerrillas. The Czech light machine gun in her hand represents the center of firepower for her leading the entire platoon. I really don’t know that this girl who should be so beautiful and embroidered and cooked at home does not love Hongzhuang and armed. She looked extremely fierce and stood on the bunker at the intersection with a murderous Czech machine gun.

The marching team suddenly braked suddenly and saw a black muzzle aiming at him. The troops in front immediately dispersed and pulled the bolts and loaded them to confront Zhou Yan, but no one shouted. From beginning to end, only Zhou Yan shouted, but there was a strange calm on the side of the road.

After a while, a passage spread out in the marching team, a young man rode a tall ocean horse and squeezed out of the team.

He looked Zhou Yan up and down with a strange look. The young man laughed and said, "Little girl, what's the name? She looks very handsome! Can you talk to my brother if you have time??" At the same time, he turned over and got off the horse and walked over.

Zhou Yanfeng glared at her eyes, and the wheat-colored but tender face still kept serious and said, "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't say anything, we'll shoot!" After the orders from the superiors, guerrillas from various regions strictly controlled various levels to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of the situation.

"Oh!~~ It's still a little chili! Don't shoot, brother, where are you teasing you? Didn't you ask which part of us? Brother will tell you that we are from the 28th Regiment of the Second Division." The young man turned his eyes and stared at Zhou Yan's fierce look.

"What do you want to see? Take out the ID?" Zhou Yan felt bored by this young man who looked at him with a rude look. He just heard that the other party said it was from the 28th Regiment, and then he felt a little relieved. The 28th Regiment is under the jurisdiction of the 129th Division of the Second Division and can be regarded as a famous main force.

"My name is Duan Cheng, little sister. I told you my name. What about yours? I really want to make friends with you!" Duan Cheng smiled and handed over an envelope. He took the opportunity to take advantage of Zhou Yan's hand, but Zhou Yan shook his hand and dodged away.

"Hmph, dream!" Zhou Yan simply said to the young man who looked a little bad, then opened the envelope and carefully checked the customs clearance documents inside, the standard Eighth Route Army letter paper, which indicated the departure and destination, and the red seal covered.

The official document seemed to be fine, "Give it back to you!" Zhou Yan sent the official document back to Duan Cheng, and then said disdainfully, "Look at you, you look like a slutty man, hum, you don't look like the Eighth Route Army at all." However, she did not notice that the soldiers close to Duan Cheng suddenly shook, her face changed, and then she returned to normal again.

Duan Cheng was stunned, but laughed: "I don't look like the Eighth Route Army? How could it be? I can remember all the three disciplines and eight items. I have been to the Eighth Route Army headquarters many times. It's very familiar there, but I'm very good at you."

"Brave, right?" Zhou Yan's eyes were full of suspicion, as if countless cows were flying in the sky.

"Commander General Zhu, Deputy Commander Peng, Chief of Staff Zuo, and Commander Yang, leading cadres from various districts, I know many people." Duan Cheng reported a long list of names, with a hint of lust on his face.

"Hmph! Everyone knows the people you said. Do you know Li Wei?! You must not know you like this!" Zhou Yan really couldn't stand this boy's pride and took the opportunity to hit him well.

"Li Wei?~~~ Brother Wei!" Duan Cheng's pupils dilated, his emotions suddenly sank, his voice became weaker, and he said unhappily: "Brother Wei, of course I know you, the Third Regiment of the 115th Division of the First Division. Speaking of which, we are still acquaintances."

"Do you really know Brother Wei?" Zhou Yan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't tell that this guy actually knew Li Wei.

Duan Cheng nodded silently.

"When you see Li Wei, you must say hello to him?! By the way, my name is Zhou Yan! You tell him that he must know." Duan Cheng had been placing it for a long time but said "Li Wei", but Zhou Yan took the initiative to say his name.

"Okay, okay!" After Zhou Yan said the word "Li Wei", Duan Cheng no longer looked as slick as before, but instead became worried.

Duan Cheng recalled the special explanation of the old man Duan Guishan before departure. He also kept the old man's words in the procession and tried his best to restrain the team. Along the way, he asked the soldiers in the team to march and deal with local people. Sometimes he asked the soldiers to do some work for the villagers and stuff some candy for the children, so as to lead the entire team more like a formal Eighth Route Army. Many villagers waved their hands on the way they passed, and even sent eggs and pancakes and other food. This made Duan Cheng feel like he was back to his previous days, but now, this team wearing military uniforms exactly like the Eighth Route Army is actually...

Duan Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Let it go!" Zhou Yan waved to both sides of the road. Green flags were immediately waved on the hillsides. There were more than a dozen strange things made of stones on the hillside. This was a weapon with huge lethality made by using the steep mountain. As long as the rope that tied up the pile of stones was cut open, countless stones rolled down the slope, machine gun grenades could not resist. Even if the Japanese deviled iron-armored car came, they would have to stop.

The team continued to drive silently.

"Yan'er! This 28th Regiment seems a bit strange. Look at their guns, it seems that they are all 38 blocks?!" A guerrilla seemed to see that this team passing through the level was a bit strange. Unlike other main forces of the Eighth Route Army, they are all in eighty-one styles, and the shining bayonet group looks a bit dazzling.

"What's strange about this? For regular troops, the reorganized 38 guns seized are so powerful?!" Another guerrilla disagreed. Since the long-term resistance against the enemy, the Eighth Route Army has also seized a large number of Type 38 rifles. It is not uncommon for fully established Type 38 rifles to be armed.

"Well, that guy named Duan, I just didn't feel happy to see it. His eyes were so terrible that he didn't look like a good thing at all. He had to tease them." Zhou Yan thought of the young man named Duan Cheng just now, thief, looking at his chest and lower body, and his face suddenly turned red.

Dadu beak beak beak beak beak beak beak beak beak beak beak!~~~~~~~~~~~~

The loud charge suddenly rang at the level, and a prank-like smirk appeared on Zhou Yan's face.

"Baga! There are eighth routes! The road is opened!"

"Give it to Sass!~~"

The "28" group that had just passed was suddenly in chaos, with gunfire and the valley was filled with Japanese bird singing.

The soldiers of the Liao County guerrillas were all stunned on the slopes and the checkpoints. What was the singing of this?

"Fake it?! Japanese! Pretend it." The fool understood that those guys in Eighth Route Army uniforms howling Japanese were simply fakes.

"It's broken! They are going to attack the base." Zhou Yan's face turned pale. The customs clearance document that Duan Cheng just handed over just now was written to Matian Town. Matian Town is the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. If he was not scared by this charge, the real fake Eighth Route Army Japanese who were in Bilu would really have to break all the way to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
