When Li Yunlong heard this, he became even more excited and said with a smile: "It's just the right time. Let's take this opportunity to teach the little devil a lesson."

"If the little devils don't come to us, we will come to them."

"As long as the little devils are not eliminated for a day, I will never be done with them."

Xing Zhiguo smiled and said: "Don't be too crazy. The little devils are not that easy to deal with, not to mention they have sent out a lot of troops."

"Preliminary estimate is that there are about 30,000 people, and there are also puppet troops."

Li Yunlong said nonchalantly: "A mere 30,000 Japanese pirates are not worth mentioning. The Ninth Division is so awesome, shouldn't we still kill them?"

"I don't believe they can be better than the Ninth Division."

Xing Zhiguo analyzed: "That's probably not the case, because the ones coming this time are not the Japanese's regular divisions, but it's probably not too bad."

Li Yunlong said confidently: "The little devils are nothing to be afraid of, and the puppet soldiers are not worth mentioning."

…

At the same time, the little devil is also making final preparations.

In Okamura Neiji's living room, Okamura Neiji looked at a Japanese lieutenant general sitting opposite with a smile.

This Japanese Lieutenant General is named Hashimoto Gun, and he is currently the Lieutenant General Division Commander of the Japanese 58th Division.

This time I was ordered to lead the 58th Division to attack the southern Hebei region.

Lieutenant General Hashimoto said solemnly: "Commander, please rest assured. It's just a group of Tuba Road. It won't take long for us to clear the southern Hebei area just like we cleared the central Hebei area."

"吆西!"

Okamura Neiji smiled and said: "I am very happy that Hashimoto-kun has this confidence."

"However, there are differences between southern Hebei and central Hebei."

"The central Hebei region is covered with endless plains. This terrain is conducive to the imperial army's mobile operations."

"As for the Tuba Road in southern Hebei, most of them are hidden in mountainous areas. It will be more difficult to eliminate them."

"So Hashimoto-kun, don't underestimate the enemy too much, and don't be too anxious, take your time!"

"As long as we fight steadily, the enemy cannot be our opponent."

Hashimoto Gun quickly said: "Thank you Commander for your teachings, but I believe that with Mr. Komori assisting us, I believe there won't be any big problems."

"Komori-kun's troops have been stationed in southern Hebei for a long time and have fought with them many times. They are rich in experience and have a thorough understanding of them."

"As long as Mr. Komori fully assists us, it will be easy to eliminate these rogues."

Major General Takeru Komorida who was standing next to him said quickly: "Please rest assured, Hashimoto-kun, we will definitely assist you with all our strength."

"If we can annihilate all the Tuba Road in southern Hebei this time, we will have an easy time in the future. To be honest, we have wanted to annihilate them for a long time, but we have sent troops repeatedly and failed in the end."

"I believe that with the strong support of the Hashimoto Division this time, we will never fail again."

Takeru Komorida was the highest commander of the Japanese troops stationed in the southern Hebei region. This time, the Japanese's mopping up operations in southern Hebei Province had Hashimoto's division as the main force, and Takeru Komorida was responsible for assisting in the operation.

Hashimoto's division has about 20,000 troops, and Komorida Ken's troops have about 10,000 troops, which adds up to 30,000 Japs.

There are also about 20,000 puppet troops cooperating in the fight. Of course, most of these puppet troops are a ragtag group of people.

"吆西!"

Okamura Neiji smiled even happier and said: "Hashimoto-kun, Komori-kun, as long as you work together, you can definitely eliminate those Toba Road as soon as possible."

"That puts me at ease."

"I asked Mr. Kasahara to prepare a banquet for you two. It can be regarded as a celebration banquet prepared for you in advance."

"I wish you a triumphant return in advance."

Hashimoto Gun and Komorida Ken said respectfully: "Thank you, Commander."

The next day, Hashimoto Gun and Komorida Takeru left Peiping by plane and flew directly to HD.

At the same time, the main force of Hashimoto's division had arrived in Xingtai, HD and other places.

At this time, the Japanese troops were fully prepared.

In the headquarters, Hashimoto Group said to Takeru Komori: "Mr. Komori, how do you think we should destroy these Tubal Roads?"

Takeru Komorita pondered for a moment and said, "Hashimoto-kun, I'm not welcome."

"The enemies in southern Hebei were originally only active in the area west of the Ping-Han Railway, but now their strength has expanded and they have gradually spread to the area east of the Ping-Han Railway."

"My opinion is that we might as well launch an attack in the area east of the Ping-Han Railway first."

"The terrain here is more suitable for the imperial army to fight, so we should be able to defeat it in a short time."

"At that time, the main enemy force will inevitably retreat to the area west of the railway, so the enemy forces will gather together."

"After the enemies in the area east of the railway are cleared, we can concentrate our forces and adopt a three-sided siege to fight the enemy in the Wu'an area and strive to completely eliminate them."

Hashimoto Gun said thoughtfully: "Komori-kun's strategy is good, but what if the enemy refuses to fight us in a decisive battle and escapes into the mountains?"

Komorida Ken said helplessly: "This is also the main reason why Tubal Road has always thought that it could not be completely wiped out."

"If they really want to avoid the war and hide in the mountains, we have no good solution."

"If we go deep into the Taihang Mountains for encirclement and suppression, it may not be so smooth in the first place, and the time it will take is also uncertain."

"So what we can do now is to try to annihilate as many of their main forces as possible."

Hashimoto-kun pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly and said, "This is indeed a bit difficult to handle."

Komorida Ken continued: "Hashimoto-kun, don't worry too much, because once we drive them into the mountains, our prestige among the people will be destroyed."

"At that time, we will completely destroy their base area. If they want to rebuild their base area, it will not be easy."

"This is also a heavy blow to their power."

"As for completely eradicating them, there is still a long way to go."

"And our driving them into the Taihang area is also in line with the strategy of your Excellency the Commander."

"Because according to the deployment of His Excellency the Commander, he is planning to first eliminate or severely weaken the Eighth Route Army in other places, and at the same time drive them as far as possible to the Taihang Mountains. Finally, he will mobilize heavy troops to launch an attack on Shanxi. In Shanxi

Conduct a final decisive battle with the enemy's main force to achieve the goal of completely annihilating it."

Hashimoto thought for a moment, nodded and said: "In that case, I have no objection, just follow the strategy you mentioned!"
