October, late autumn.

A burst of autumn rain and a burst of coolness. A burst of autumn rain and a burst of coolness.

Sitting on the horseback, Kenji Doichi felt an obvious chill. He couldn't help but tighten his woolen coat.

Damn winter! It's coming soon.

If it was before, he should be happy.

Because winter is not good for the activities of the Eighth Route Army. They lack winter clothing and cannot be active in winter.

but now……

He no longer dared to think so.

After his defeat in the last battle in Changping, his assessment of Tubal Road involuntarily changed greatly.

Tubal Road is no longer what it used to be. It is no longer the Wuxia Amen of the past.

Tubal Road now has relatively sufficient weapons and ammunition. There are even heavy artillery and tanks.

Obviously, this is a very bad sign.

The Japanese army suffered continuous heavy losses, which was the beginning of all kinds of bad things.

Now, the Japanese army has begun to implement a basic strategy for Tubal Road activities. It is to eliminate them immediately when they are discovered.

Do not give Tubalu a chance to grow.

For example, this time, Tubal Road appeared in Guyuan.

Dohi Enkenji personally led an infantry brigade to exterminate the Tobal Road.

Any fire is dangerous.

Especially Guyuan.

It connects the Central Plains and beyond the Great Wall.

If Tubal Road is allowed to gain a foothold here, the consequences will be disastrous.

An infantry brigade...

It is not an independent mixed tour group.

It is a regular two-armed brigade with more than 7,000 people.

There is also an artillery brigade.

Equipped with twelve 75mm field guns.

Such a large number of troops, led by Doihara Kenji himself, was quite embarrassing for Doibalo.

Even if the equipment and ammunition of Tubal Road are improved, it should be 100% reliable.

In Guyuan, there are at most a thousand people on Tubal Road.

There can't be more.

Because there isn't much of a population there at all.

Tubal Road cannot gather too many troops.

The sparse population outside the Great Wall is the fatal injury to the Tubal Road development base area. Until now, there has been no Tubal Road base area outside the Great Wall.

"Report!"

The staff officer caught up from behind and handed Doihara Kenji a telegram.

It is a battle status report from the North China Front Army Headquarters.

The Japanese army successfully recaptured Baoding.

This is what Kenji Doihara expected.

Baoding must be conquered.

It is related to the Ping-Han Railway and the 200,000 Japanese troops!

If this node is not opened up, all Japanese troops in the entire Jin Province and the Japanese troops in southern Hebei Province will gradually wither.

This is something that the base camp absolutely cannot bear.

Therefore, after Okamura Neiji took office, his main task was to restore traffic.

I dare not mention restoring other strongholds. Let’s restore transportation first.

Several main divisions transferred from the Kwantung Army were divided into two groups and attacked along the Ping-Han Railway and Jin-Pu Railway.

One is to regain Baoding.

One is to regain Cangzhou.

These two railway nodes have been occupied by Tubal Road for more than a month.

For more than a month, the railway transportation of the Japanese army was completely interrupted, which caused great pressure on the Japanese army at the end of the railway.

It was for this reason that the 108th and 109th Divisions had to retreat.

Without enough supplies, even the most elite divisions are useless.

"Did you encounter fierce resistance?"

"No."

"Where's Tubal Road?"

"They fled without a trace. Only the guerrillas were active nearby."

"idiot……"

Kenji Doihara cursed secretly.

This is the result he least wants to see. There is no head-to-head confrontation on Tubal Road!

They retreated decisively.

There was no chance for the Japanese army to encircle and annihilate them.

As a result, the Japanese army's strategic purpose was not achieved. At most one-third of the combat plan was completed.

What about temporarily resuming rail traffic?

If the main force on Tubal Road is not eliminated in one day, the railway lines will not be safe.

There are already many heavy weapons on Tubal Road, which can easily cut off railway traffic. The railway may be blown up at any time.

Under this background, it was impossible for the Japanese army to carry out large-scale transportation.

What if it gets bombed?

Who dares to guarantee the safety of railway lines?

Don't forget. There are already tanks and heavy artillery on Tubal Road in the North China Plain.

Once tanks and heavy artillery appear, who can stop them?

A squadron? A group?

Only jade pieces.

Even ordinary stations can't stop it at all.

Even if an independent mixed brigade is stationed in Baoding, it can temporarily ensure the safety of Baoding. But, what about other places?

The railway line is so long, where can the Japanese army have so many troops?

Therefore, Tubal Road must still be eliminated.

The active forces of Tubal Road must be completely eliminated to finally eliminate the danger.

The question is, where will Tubalu retreat to?

The answer is ready to come out.

It's certainly not far from the railway line.

Perhaps Tubal Road is not far away, waiting for the Japanese invaders to arrive.

This is what Tuba Road is best at luring the enemy deeper into.

As long as several divisions of the Japanese invaders are separated, they are likely to be divided and surrounded. Then they will take over all at once.

To be honest, no Japanese army in a regiment dares to act alone easily. They are worried that they will fall into the encirclement of Tubal Road and die.

How did Sakata United die?

How did the Kasahara Alliance die?

They were all surrounded by Tubal Road and beaten to death.

Facts have proved that now, a Japanese regiment is absolutely unable to withstand the siege of Tubal Road. The final result will be that everything is shattered.

Think about the past...
To be continued...
