Through the Eighth Route Army's goal, breaking the road and siegeing the city for more than a month, it severely hit the Japanese army's cage policy and bunkering strife, and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders.

The commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, Toshi Tada, was severely reprimanded for this.

Tada Jun, a native of Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, is a Chinese master. He is the eldest son of Tada Juniora, a typical descendant of a noble family.

Shortly after the Sino-Japanese War began, Tada Jun served as deputy chief of the General Staff, and later served as president of the Mainland University, commander of the 3rd Army, and commander of the North China Front Army.

The Eighth Route Army in North China has done such a big deal and the Japanese have lost so much, so naturally they have to take the blame.

Moreover, this blame is not something that ordinary people can bear. At least the commander of the first army in Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka, does not have the qualifications.

At the Imperial Conference held by the Japanese Emperor, the Minister of the Republic of China, Hideki Tojo pushed all the reasons for the unfavorable "jihad" on Tada Jun.

Claimed: "Due to the poor command of Tada Jung, he suffered heavy losses in the face of the Eighth Route Army's attack, which caused the imperial army to be disgraced and his face was lost."

Sugiyama Moto, who was then the chief of staff of the Japanese General Staff, had a sharper remark, he said:

"The failure of North China is a shame for the Great Japanese Empire. August 20th should be designated as the day of shame for the Imperial Army. For this, Tada Jun should bear all responsibility."

Facing the accusation, Tada Jun was speechless and blushed. He was angry and determined to take revenge and earn back his face.

So he mobilized all mobile troops in North China, including the 110th Division, the 36th Division, and the 1st and 9th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Starting from October 6, a large-scale retaliatory "mopping up" of the Eighth Route Army and various anti-Japanese bases was carried out.

The Japanese army implemented the tragic "Three Lights" policy, namely burning them all, killing them all, and stealing them all.

Wherever they went, they burned the house as soon as they saw them, killed the people as soon as they saw them, and robbed the food as soon as they saw them, attempting to turn the base into scorched earth, which greatly affected the people.

As early as the stalemate stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese army had already begun to frequently "sweep" the Eighth Route Army's base areas and implemented the "Three Lights" policy.

Especially after being hit hard by the Hundred Regiments War, Japanese imperialism retaliated even more crazily, and the harshness of the "Three Lights" policy was even more serious than before.

In the order issued by Tada, he emphasized that the Sanguang policy is more serious than before.

The document that issued the order said: "The purpose of this battle is completely different from the past.

This is to completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army and the Eighth Route Army base areas. Anyone in the enemy's territory, regardless of gender, age, should be killed.

All houses should be burned, and all food and stockings should be burned if they cannot be transported. All pots and bowls should be broken, and all wells should be buried or poisoned."

A command, more than a hundred words, can be read in one minute. It seems to be light and nothing.

But in fact, it is that the unspeakable village was burned, countless families were destroyed, and countless tragedies on earth.

The atrocities of the Japanese army soon reached the ears of the Eighth Route Army. Faced with the brutal Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army headquarters issued an anti-sweeping operation order.

We require the Party, Government, Military and Civilians in all base areas to cooperate closely, implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and resolutely annihilate the enemy's first to second routes.

It also dispersed some of the main forces, coordinated with guerrillas, and militias carried out extensive guerrilla wars, and resolutely crushed the enemy's sweep.

Although the Hundred Regiments Battle achieved great victory in the first two stages, it brought a major blow to the enemy.

However, due to continuous combat, the troops were extremely tired and the casualties were greatly reduced, so we urgently needed rest and replenishment.

However, in the face of the Japanese army's sweeping, the Eighth Route Army commanders and soldiers had no time to wash away the dust on their bodies, and they entered the third phase of the Hundred Regiments War - the anti-"sweeping" war.

The Japanese army's "mopping up" first began with the Taihang Mountains.

The Japanese Independence Fourth Mixed Brigade, who was responsible for guarding Zhengtai Road, suffered a painful attack from the Eighth Route Army during the Hundred Regiments War.

A brigade commander and a corps commander died.

The newly appointed brigade commander, Ichiro Katayama, was eager to avenge his shame. During this "sweeping", Katayama led his troops to act as the "pioneer".

Starting from October 6, the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade and the 36th Division each had nearly 10,000 people, and launched an attack on Wuxiang, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the central area of ​​the 129th Division.

Attempt to find the 129th Division, the main force of the division and the military and political heads of the Eighth Route Army in this area.

In order to avoid the Japanese army's edge, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army had to transfer.

On the evening of the 14th, the boss walked out of the yard of the war room of the Wangjiayu Village headquarters.

The autumn in the mountains is already very deep, and the gusts of autumn wind blowing, making people feel a hint of chill. He subconsciously wrapped his gray military coat that had been patched.

The news of the Japanese army's crazy "sweeping" made him fall into deep thought.

How can we break the enemy's sweep?

Because he was too focused, Chief of Staff Left who almost walked into the yard was full of tears.

When the boss saw that it was him, he quickly said, "I'm just looking for you!"

"What's the matter? The boss." Chief of Staff Zuo asked in confusion.

"That's right." The boss looked at him and continued, "The Japanese are coming again. You should notify the headquarters staff immediately and transfer immediately."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Chief of Staff Zuo replied. He knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately notified the personnel to transfer.

Actually, this is not the first time, they are all used to it.

In order to command the anti-sweeping operations, the headquarters led by the boss was in Wangjiayu, brick wall, shunma and Songjiazhuang areas, making it impossible for the enemy to find out the traces of the headquarters.

According to the headquarters' orders, the 385th Brigade, 386th Brigade and the units of the Death Column of the 129th Division blocked the invading Japanese troops step by step, causing the Japanese army to progress slowly and find nothing.

On the 15th, a part of the Independent Regiment set up an ambush in Gongjiagou area on the Heliao Highway, destroying forty-four cars in one fell swoop and destroying nearly 100 Japanese troops.

This directly led to the fact that the Japanese army did not dare to drive on this highway for the next half month.

On the 17th, the first battalion of the New Second Regiment set up an ambush in the area of ​​Niejia Village and ambushed an infantry squadron that the Japanese army came to sweep.

After an hour of fire exchange, more than 80 Japanese soldiers were killed and injured.

If the Japanese troops around had not gathered in this direction, Zhang Dabiao would have eaten up all the infantry squadrons.

After the lessons of the New Second Regiment, the Japanese devils here no longer dared to go out for a squadron and sweep, and they were safe for more than ten days.

Only after subsequent troops were reinforced, the raid continued to carry out the raid on the scale of a brigade.

One of the sweeping troops was affiliated with an infantry brigade of the Independent Fourth Brigade, and the captain was Yamazaki.

ps: The dog-good captain Yamazaki is about to appear.
