Chapter 416

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: "It is used to fight. If you win for a long time, your troops will be dull and your sharp. If you attack the city, your strength will be reduced. If you attack the city for a long time, your country's use will be insufficient!"

Japan, whose population is only one-sixth of China, wants to swallow China by swallowing elephant. The population itself is a natural restriction. Under the incitement of Japanese militaryism, Japan launched a war of aggression against China that thought it would destroy China for three months. It was a delusion.

At the beginning of the war, I thought there was no need to mobilize a large-scale force. With the existing military supplies reserves and only 11% of active-duty soldiers, 23% of reserves, 45% of reserves and 21% of the military supplies structure that supplemented the troops, I wanted to imitate Germany's blitzkrieg and defeat China in one fell swoop. However, I didn't expect that by March 1938, I had to launch the first military supplies mobilization, four additional temporary military funds, totaling 7.4 billion yen, and in 1939, the second military supplies mobilization was carried out. In order to deal with the huge war against China, everything in China was the main purpose of domestic production in exchange for the sharp drop in export materials in exchange for urgently needed materials, and fell into a vicious cycle. By the end of 1938, the Japanese government's Huangduo reserves were only 25 tons left from 388 tons before the war.

In 1941, due to the war, the supply of materials in centralized military supplies, and food scarcity occurred in Japan. Many civilians were already in famine. The gap in oil, aluminum, zinc and industrial salt needed by industry reached more than 80%. Although they occupied the three northeastern provinces, under the harassment and destruction of the Anti-Japanese United Nations League, iron ore and steel could only reach half of the demand plan, and there was a gap of nearly 20% of the food. Rubber and nickel ore could not be produced by themselves at all.

In the years since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Japan's domestic economy has been facing collapse. This is why the Japanese invaders robbed all China's resources like hungry dogs who saw shit.

Even so, whether it is to plunder China's private assets or to open mines to plunder China's resources. Using waste paper military supplies tickets to deceive China's wealth, the unyielding Chinese people did not make the Japanese feel at all.

The Pinghan Line, the main force supporting the Japanese invasion of China, was repeatedly harassed. Some time ago, the 12th District Team snatched several Type 99 anti-aircraft guns from the Japanese transportation train on the Pinghan Railway and blew up the entire train, and even directly used the artillery to destroy two armored vehicles. This was like stabbing a big hornet's nest.

The Type 99 anti-aircraft gun, which originally had little production, was directly destroyed before it reached the southern front. It made the Japanese army in the south lack air defense. The mixed brigade of the Sino-US Air Force commanded by General Chennard once seized air supremacy and bombed several important Japanese military strongholds, causing heavy losses to the Japanese army.

Before leaving the 12th district team, the artillery attacks of nearly one kilometer of railway line were completely destroyed. Under the continuous harassment of nearby guerrillas, the Pinghan railway line was almost interrupted for nearly a week before it was repaired and barely reopened to traffic. The Japanese commander responsible for railway line patrol and security had to be demoted for this.

The joint effect caused by the 12th District Team made the Japanese army grit their teeth. They wanted to re-establish the public security order in 1942, and launched spies ambushed in the 11th District Command. While the 11th District organized a meeting, they used air strikes and sweeps to launch sweeps at various bases at the same time. They tried to wipe out the headless divisions one by one.

As a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese, the twelfth District Team was given special care. More than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops armed to their teeth rushed to the base of the twelfth District Team with murderous aura. Captain Nio Ono also brought armored vehicles this time. After all, the loss of the Type 99 anti-aircraft gun was already the target of the superior North China Command's name.

The district captain Wang Bao and the 11th Division Command were surrounded by the main force of the Japanese army's sweep. The fourth company commander Li Wei was appointed to serve as the acting district captain to command the counterattack.

When more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops from Renqiu County first stepped onto the border of the base area of ​​the 12th District Team. The reorganization of the 12th District Team in Shijing Town had been completed. The people in the town sorted out fine and soft according to the very familiar evacuation regulations during the war, and hid all the items that could not be moved from home, and almost nothing was left in the house. They were no longer as confused, at a loss, or were reluctant to leave the jars and jars at home, and simply wanted to die than to stay in the house, fantasizing about the innocent idea of ​​the Japanese not harming civilians, until the Japanese army came to kill the family and destroyed the people.

The adults took the children, the young and strong, and the old and the weak. Under the arrangement of the third company, they moved to safe areas in batches. They all knew Shijing Town. The military and civilians of this 12th District team had put in great effort to upgrade from a village-level settlement to a town-level settlement. All the people witnessed this growth with their own eyes. Although the enemy was approaching, the town was likely to become a battlefield, but for the sake of future development, they still had to temporarily hide.

Some villagers with limited mobility were temporarily moved to a hidden tunnel outside the town.

With the rumbling sound, the Japanese armored vehicles that trembled on the ground were trembling with mighty power on the land under the 12th District Team, pulling out several pairs of long wheels.

Relying on the thick iron armor, ordinary rifle bullets and grenade launchers could not penetrate their armor at all. Two armored vehicles drove at the front of the team. Along the way, they were fired by nearby militias like tickling rifles. The bullets jingled on the armor. Except for jumping around like locusts and making people dizzy, the driver inside was completely unharmed.

The Japanese armored vehicles even ignored these scattered militias, and the large-caliber machine guns on the roof spewed firepower at will, knocking the withered thatch along the way to pieces and leaves.

Until there was a loud bang! ~ A fireball exploded from the bottom of an armored vehicle, and the huge impact force directly caused the armored vehicle to tremble twice. It braked on the road, and half of the track was blown so hard that it was flying to somewhere.

After a while, the militia lurking in the disguise of the thatched bushes were shocked that the armored vehicle continued to start, as if it had not noticed that the vehicle body was damaged. Then it rushed forward for a few meters until all the damaged tracks fell off and lost power. The vehicle body was spinning involuntarily before stopping. The machine gun on the body of the vehicle was shooting violently at both sides of the road as if venting anger. It seemed that the Japanese soldiers inside could not accept that the armored vehicles of the Imperial Japanese Army were actually crawled down by a cheap land mine from the Eighth Route Army.

The loading of mines was still insufficient to completely destroy the Japanese armored vehicles. The Japanese in the vehicle had the strength to curse. The militia were very disappointed. Seeing the cavalry rushing up from the rear of the Japanese army began to search both sides of the road, the militia who were harassing missions still retreated.

Nio Ono, located in the center of the Japanese and puppet army, was as timid as usual, sitting on an armored vehicle. Although the road bumps made him feel so harsh that he was tortured by the deafening engine noise, the pungent smell of diesel and the swaying narrow carriage in the car, he still didn't have the courage to ride a horse in the middle of the team. He has experienced the sharpshooters of the 12th District Team. If you really hit your left eye, you will never touch your right eye. He doesn't want to be shot directly outside the armored vehicle. He is still young and can continue to be loyal to the emperor.

According to the proportion of the mixed force structure of the Japanese army responsible for local public security, one day controls three puppets, one puppets, and one husband controls three dogs. The Japanese army at the same level can order the puppet troops at the same level, showing the Japanese superiority everywhere. Ono Nio can lead the team in person this time, relying on only the main force of his Japanese brigade, and directly commands the two affiliated puppet troops to fight together. There are more than 3,000 infantrymen, an artillery battalion, a cavalry company and twelve armored vehicles specially transferred by their superiors, giving Ono Nio a full confidence.

The explosion in front of the team alarmed Nio Ono. He endured the nausea of ​​being about to be motion sickness, opened the lookout window of the armored vehicle and cursed: "Baga! What's going on?!"

"Report! An armored vehicle in front encountered a landmine!" The sergeant in charge of communication stepped forward to respond next to the armored vehicle.

"Let the engineer team go up! Be careful, protect them well and not be misunderstood!" Ono Nio ordered quickly, and then hurriedly pulled up the window baffle, for fear that if you accidentally, the bullets of the Eighth Route Swordsman shot in from outside the window.

Although Nio Ono is timid, he is very careful and has always done a very good job in saving his life. This is why he is still safe and sound and can sit in the position of Japanese brigade captain of Renqiu County.

A team of Japanese engineers carrying circle-like minesweepers immediately went forward from the team, and two puppet army teams were accompanied by a scattered line to protect them. This minesweeper was also a professional engineer who was transferred from Qingdao through the Japanese North China Command after reaching the mine threat from the 12th District Team. It was specially designed to target mine warfare that was almost flooded in Hebei.

"Yanbao, do you want a bag?" Militia Leidonggou hid in a thatched nest two miles away from the front of the Japanese army and touched the dry tobacco pot inserted at his waist. He and the six militiamen in the same village were commanded and assigned by the armed forces of the Third Company to one of the militia teams responsible for laying out the mine array. The mine that had just exploded was in the hands of their team, and more than a dozen mine groups were waiting for the imperial army on the way forward of the Japanese army.

"Come on, let's raise your ears and hear it. The sound just now was so crisp and crisp. Unfortunately, I didn't let the Japanese turtle shells take a dirt plane. Let's listen again!" The young militia called Han Bao shook his hands and made the temptation to ignore Lei Donggou. He stuck his ears and listened to something with an excited look on his face.
