Both groups have a large number of people, more than 3,000 people.
You can say that the Eighth Route Army in the North China Plain did not have any brilliant achievements. But it was really quite large in number.
Any military subdivision can draw tens of thousands of people.
A second-level military region has jurisdiction over several military subdivisions, which contains tens of thousands of people.
Even hundreds of thousands of people.
In terms of the number of people, there are much more than in the Taihang Mountains.
No wonder the Japanese invaders were most afraid of the awakening of the Chinese people. The population was simply too large.
Four hundred million! Four hundred million!
According to a 10% mobilization rate, the army will reach a terrifying 40 million!
Forty million!
Forty million!
Say important things three times.
If 40 million troops were fully armed, with planes, tanks, and heavy artillery...
The Japanese invaders didn't even dare to think about what the consequences would be.
"According to the regulations of the headquarters..."
"Each regiment is equipped with one hundred light machine guns and thirty heavy machine guns..."
Zhang Chu came up with a package change plan.
No matter what kind of unit you are in or how many people you have, as long as you are at the regiment level, you will be allocated according to this number.
Various small arms were quickly put into place.
In the end, the field guns were missing because they had to be delivered separately.
However, Commander Lu did not have any requirements for this, because the twenty field guns delivered previously were enough.
What's more, there are a total of forty tanks and forty tank guns.
Facts have proved that it is easier and more convenient to use tank guns to destroy the Japanese invaders' firepower points. They are all aimed directly and hit accurately every time.
You can directly point the muzzle in front of the Japanese invaders' firepower point.
Relatively speaking, field artillery can only cover a large area. The efficiency is not that high.
The replaced weapons and ammunition were in place, and Commander Lu got busy.
Zhang Chu himself is fine.
Because I have "taught" others to drive tanks.
Well, "church".
Know how to move forward, backward, turn, start, stop...
The rest is practice over and over again.
Anyway, this is a plain area, so there is no possibility of the car overturning.
Let them practice for a period of time before conducting advanced training. For the time being, the tank unit has no plans to participate in the war.
"attack!"
"attack!"
Under the unified command of Commander Lu, several infantry regiments marched towards Gaoyang County.
Then they launched an attack on Gaoyang County.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Twenty field guns set up a formation and fired fiercely at Gaoyang County.
All Japanese fortifications were covered by artillery fire.
In less than five minutes, several gaps were made in the city wall.
"superior!"
"superior!
The infantry surged forward like a tide.
It only took half a day to successfully capture Gaoyang County.
All the more than 500 defenders were wiped out.
There was also a regiment of puppet troops who obediently raised their hands and surrendered.
Zhang Chu seized more than 300 shell guns.
The Bayi cargo yard was successfully established.
The location of the two tank regiments was also changed to Gaoyang County.
After all, a tank requires a lot of logistical supplies, including gasoline.
Four hundred tons of gasoline were dumped.
It is stored in Gaoyang County.
Then they were quickly dispersed to various nearby villages.
It is definitely not safe to stay in Gaoyang County. If the Japanese aggressor planes arrive, they will all be blown up.
Huh?
Japanese aircraft?
Zhang Chu subconsciously looked up at the sky.
It seemed like I hadn’t seen a Japanese aircraft for a long, long time.
Is it a strike?
Immediately, Commander Lu commanded the troops to continue sweeping around.
Capture Li County...
Capture Suning...
Capture Raoyang County...
Take Hejian...
Several nearby counties and cities were easily captured.
After all, there are twenty field guns...
No, a day later ten more field guns arrived. A total of thirty field guns were put into battle.
The number of mortars is even greater, and all of them are 81 mm.
Won five county seats in a row.
There are no more Japanese invaders within a radius of two to three hundred miles.
Of course, there are no puppet troops.
The remaining Japanese invaders could only huddle in a few larger cities.
To the west is Baoding.
To the east is Cangzhou.
Zhang Chu decided to go to Baoding first.
Baoding has always been an important military location. The Baoding Military Academy back then was also very famous.
Many big shots came from Baoding Military Academy.
Such as Chiang Kai-shek, Bai Chongxi...
Baoding is also an important transportation thoroughfare and an important node of the Pinghan-Han Line.
If Baoding is captured, it will be equivalent to cutting off the Pinghan Line.
The Zhengtai Line extending from the Pinghan Line was naturally cut off as well.
Once the Zhengtai Line is cut off, Taiyuan will become an isolated city.
Because Tongpu Road in the north of Taiyuan has been cut off.
Of course, the Japanese invaders also knew the importance of Baoding. Therefore, an independent mixed brigade was stationed here.
There are not many people. More than 7,000 people.
Approximately equivalent to two regiments.
There seems to be hope?
Haha, this is all theoretical.
In fact, Baoding has convenient transportation and is only over 100 kilometers away from Peking.
Reinforcements from Peiping will arrive at any time.
What if Peking doesn’t have enough reinforcements? There’s also the Kwantung Army!
A full 700,000 Kwantung Army!
Even one tenth of it is an incredible strategic force.
After all, most of the elite Japanese invaders were in the Kwantung Army.
"Consultant Zhang!"
"Miss Chen!"
Zhang Chu smiled and shook hands with the other party.
Although Chen Lihua is a woman, she is her comrade first.
This time we entered Baoding, it was arranged by Chen Lihua.
She had made arrangements in advance and was waiting for Zhang Chu to arrive.
"this is for you."
"good!"
Zhang Chu took the clothes.
It was found to be a laborer's uniform.
"Your name is Leimu."
"He is a good citizen of the nearby town of Shanglou."
Chen Lihua explained to him.
According to her protection, Zhang Chu will enter the city among the workers.
As for what she would do after entering the city, Chen Lihua didn't care. She couldn't control it. Inside the city was the world of the Japanese invaders. She had no way of contacting them.
Zhang Chu suddenly had a whim.
"Are we pretending to be a couple?"
"You think too much."
Chen Lihua's expression remained unchanged.
Zhang Chu:......
Alas, TV series kill people!
The male protagonists in TV dramas always pretend to be husband and wife with beautiful women, why don’t you have such an opportunity?
disappointment……
Soon we entered the city.
However, the Japanese invaders were rushing to build fortifications in Baoding and needed a large number of strong men.
As the saying goes, don't wash the radish when it is too late. The Japanese invaders needed a lot of strong men, so there was no way to carefully screen them one by one.
What's more, the Japanese invaders had a full brigade stationed in Baoding, and they were not afraid of sporadic Tubal Road lurking in to harass them.
As long as Tubalu has no weapons, so what?
So, Zhang Chu mixed with other workers and entered the city smoothly.
At this moment, in the city, the streets and alleys are all filled with various fortifications. There are fire points everywhere. There are bunkers everywhere.
Outside the city, there are various temporarily built bunkers and bunkers.
There are also a large number of trenches, tunnels, and underground bunkers. It can be said to be very solid.
A little troublesome...
Such a strongly fortified city is difficult to attack.
Even if there are tanks and 75mm field guns, it will still take a long time.
But the Eighth Route Army could not afford it.
because……
Japanese reinforcements will surely arrive soon.
what to do?
All we can do is change our tactics.
I will not attack Baoding.
I am stuck between Baoding and SJZ. Cut off the railway.
The effect is the same.
The connection between the Japanese invaders Beiping and Zhengding (sjz) was thus interrupted.
Taiyuan became an isolated island.
At the same time, Xinxiang, Anyang, Yuncheng and other places have also become isolated islands.
What to do with the Japanese invaders?
We must leave Baoding and attack southward.
The Pinghan Line must be opened.
In this way, the Japanese invaders attack and the Eighth Route Army defends.
Then it was the Japanese invaders' turn to suffer heavy casualties.
"idiot!"
Suddenly, a Japanese invader raised his rifle and pointed the butt at Zhang Chu.
But Zhang Chu stood there in a daze.
Joke. How can he possibly work?
Just sneak in. Do you still expect him to do the work?
The Japanese invaders in charge of surveillance found out and immediately came up to kill him.
result……
Zhang Chu stretched out his hand and grabbed the Japanese invader. He held his head and twisted it hard.
Click!
The neck is broken.
The Japanese invader was instantly killed.
"Killed!"
"Killed!"
The surrounding workers were shocked.
The other Japanese invaders raised their guns and tried to kill Zhang Chu.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
However, Zhang Chu is faster.
Two shell guns were fired from the left and right to kill all the Japanese invaders nearby.
The distance is less than fifty meters.
Not even thirty meters.
It's impossible to miss the target because there is a setting that forces 100% hit.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Killed more than a dozen Japanese invaders in a row.
While shooting, Zhang Chu moved around and easily avoided the Japanese invaders' rifles.
The Japanese invaders responsible for guarding the laborers only had bolt-action rifles. Who was Zhang Chu's opponent? Zhang Chu only used a shell gun, not a submachine gun.
"idiot!"
"kill him!"
"kill him!"
Japanese invaders from nearby rushed in for reinforcements.
They didn't even shoot. They just charged forward with shining bayonets.
Feeling like your brain is not working well?
Knowing that the opponent has a gun, you actually try to fight with a bayonet?
Zhang Chu changed his gun.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Garand semi-automatic rifle opens fire.
One shot at a time.
One shot at a time.
In an instant, more than a dozen Japanese invaders who rushed up were killed.
In fact, the number of Japanese invaders guarding the laborers was not very large. There were only twenty or thirty Japanese invaders. They were no match for Zhang Chu.
The construction site suddenly became quiet.
Weird.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Chu.

It’s the beginning of the school year and there are a lot of things going on. I can’t guarantee four updates every day. I’m sorry...
