When it comes to damaging people's image, the Japanese are not specifically targeting Kong Jie.
It is true that the Japanese intelligence department has too little information about Kong Jie. As for his image, it is known that Kong Jie is about thirty years old and often likes to smoke with a pipe.
The Japanese wanted to damage and smear the image of those famous Eighth Route Army generals, so naturally they would not do anything to beautify them, they would just portray them as short, dull, dark, and ugly.
In addition to Kong Jie, the so-called surrendered Eighth Route Army generals found by the Japanese spies all looked miserable.
For example, Li Yunlong, the commander of the new Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army who was found by the Japanese to surrender, was probably because the Japanese army also understood the characteristics of Li Yunlong's big head.
So the traitor we were looking for had a particularly big head, a thick neck, a short stature, and a dark complexion. As soon as he said "fuck", his whole image immediately came out.
If Li Yunlong saw this, he would most likely be so angry that he would burst into flames. Without saying a word, he would chop off the kid's head with a machete.
It would also be nice to sing a drama in which the real Li Yunlong kills the fake Li Yunlong.
As for Ding Wei and Commander Wang, they did not escape the "poisonous hands" of the Japanese.
Each image is worse than the last.
However, the traitor with glasses whom the Japanese hired to pose as the brigade commander was a little more respectable and not too shabby.
After learning about this, Kong Jie naturally would not let the Japanese army deliberately discredit the generals of the Eighth Route Army. He directly called Shi Dahu, the head of the Strategic Camouflage Bureau of a team.
"There is only one request. We can't just be beaten. If the devil dares to smear our image, we can't make it easy for him.
As for how to handle it specifically, it’s up to you!”
Shi Dahu, who immediately understood what Kong Jie meant, took the order and made preparations.
As a master of propaganda and disguise, Shi Dahu first took action and treated the other person with his own medicine.
This devil dared to deliberately find people to pretend to be Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and the brigade commander in the Eighth Route Army guerrilla zone to smear the image of the Eighth Route Army generals.
Shi Dahu also found some traitors and pretended to be famous figures in the Japanese army.
When it comes to choosing actors who are more awkward, Shi Dahu has never been afraid.
No one knows where he found those short, ugly traitors. They probably even spoke a few words in Japanese for the sake of authenticity.
The costumed characters are also diverse.
There are the commanders of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, and Yoshio Shinozuka who has abdicated.
There are also the Commander-in-Chief of the North China Front Expeditionary Force, Okamura Neiji, and the Commander-in-Chief of the China Expeditionary Force.
Even the little devil's emperor has a specially created image.
Let them kneel and repent in front of the tombstones of countless Chinese soldiers.
Let them carry thorns on their backs and plead guilty in front of their fellow villagers.
It seems like an invisible propaganda war between the two sides.
The Eighth Route Army used its vast and powerful means to publish many corresponding articles and take corresponding photos.
These newspapers were even distributed to the Japanese's stable security areas.
Even Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the Japanese First Army who was stationed in Taiyuan City, might suddenly receive a report at some point about him kneeling to repent to the Chinese people.
After the counterattack, we still have to maintain the image of the Eighth Route Army generals.
Naturally, some versions have to be circulated, especially when it comes to some generals who have become famous recently and the common people are particularly interested in, such as Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, brigade commander and others.
Some Eighth Route Army cadres, as well as some prestigious people in the village and town, whoever saw these Eighth Route Army generals, all praised them, and they also praised them for their appearance.
Speaking of the brigade commander, he is an elegant and scholarly general, and he has the audacity to swallow up mountains and rivers.
It is really in the midst of strategizing and winning from thousands of miles away.
Speaking of Li Yunlong, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, it is said that he is very fierce-looking and can often scare the hell out of the little Japanese just by showing his face.
But some people say that she is a handsome young man from all over the country, and the matchmaker who came to propose marriage almost broke the family threshold.
Let’s talk about the words of Kong Jie, the captain of the First Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment of the Eighth Route Army.
That's...
"Better in appearance than Pan An, as wise as Zhuge Liang, both civil and military, unparalleled in the world... More than eight feet long, powerful in martial arts, especially with a pair of unicorn arms. On the battlefield, a ghost-headed sword slashed like the wind, with only the sun on both sides visible.
The blood of the bandits flowed into rivers, and the corpses piled up into mountains..."
The first team headquarters, after Shi Dahu reported on Kong Jie’s image building plan.
Shi Dahu chuckled twice and asked again: "Detachment leader, do you think there is anything else you want to add?"
Kong Jie was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, and finally asked tentatively, "I said Shi Dahu, is this an exaggeration?"
Shi Dahu immediately patted his chest and said without changing his expression: "Detachment leader, look at what you said, is there any exaggeration in it?
Regarding your situation, I am telling you the truth!
As for those traitors brought by the little devils, what do they look like? They are so different from your heroic and majestic image."
Kong Jie said: "Is this really the case?"
"Absolutely!" Shi Dahu said.
"Well, what you said makes sense! Okay, that's all I think!" Kong Jie nodded with satisfaction. The more he looked at Shi Dahu, the more he liked him. He is a talent!
……
……
On the other side, after the Japanese Chief of Staff Tanabe formulated the combat plan, the Japanese army quickly took action.
The fighting around Licheng, Shexian, Xiangyuan, Lucheng, Liaoxian and other cities intensified.
According to the plan of the Japanese army, since the Eighth Route Army has uncharacteristically launched a large-scale attack on the county town and invested a large number of troops in the battle, it is better to use the plan and use the county towns of Licheng, Shexian and Xiangyuan to firmly contain the main force of the Taihang Eighth Route Army and take the opportunity to carry out the planned attack on the Eighth Route Army base area.
Big sweep.
To this end, the Japanese army quickly mobilized troops and advanced near Xiangyuan, Liaoxian, Shexian, and Lucheng, forming a large-scale encirclement of the five cities.
Licheng battlefield.
At this time, it is already the most intense of the five battlefields.
The main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared near Licheng, and then launched the most violent attack. Until now, the two sides have been fighting for more than six hours.
The city gates of Li City have been breached in two places.
Reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, and the Japanese and puppet troops defending the city were almost desperate.
These Eighth Route Army troops outside the city are like magic soldiers descending from the sky, and their firepower configuration is even more amazing. They are even using large-caliber artillery to forcibly bombard the city!
As for reinforcements, I'm afraid we can no longer count on them now.
"Sir, according to the news from the headquarters, the reinforcements coming from Shexian, Xiangyuan, and Lucheng were all blocked by the Eighth Route Army troops on the way. It is impossible for reinforcements to come in a short time."
Inside the Japanese military headquarters in Licheng.
The Japanese signal corps brought the worst news to the Japanese major general defending the city.
Soon after, another special order came from the headquarters:
Order the imperial troops stationed in Licheng to do their best to hold back the main force of the Eighth Route Army attacking the city, and cooperate with the main force of the empire to form a comprehensive encirclement from the outside. At that time, the inside and outside should cooperate, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
"What a tempting tactic!"
There was a sarcastic smile on the face of the Japanese adjutant, "General, the superiors want to use us as bait to contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army, thereby forming an encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.
But how do they know the current situation in Licheng? The Eighth Route Army's attack is extremely fierce, and their firepower configuration is even more powerful. Now the city gate has been breached in two places. With our remaining troops, it is impossible to delay for too long.
In my opinion, this is not to use us as bait, it is clearly to let us die."
The Japanese Major General nodded, but there was still some hesitation on his face.
"Perhaps... we will fight to the death and concentrate all our forces on the final central tower to build fortifications. We can continue to contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army and cooperate with the main force of the empire..."
"Has the General forgotten what happened to Colonel Suzuki?"
Suzuki...
Thinking of this name, the Japanese Major General couldn't help but shudder.
Suzuki, an old Japanese soldier, fell into the Eighth Route Army's trick and was captured by the Eighth Route Army after his defeat. The Eighth Route Army held a public trial, humiliated and criticized the old Japanese soldier Suzuki, and finally convicted him and beheaded him as a war executioner.
In terms of the crimes committed by the Japanese Major General, they may not be as good as Colonel Suzuki, but they are definitely not much better. If they fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, they may not end well.
In this regard, the Eighth Route Army's principles have always been clear.
Ordinary soldiers and some low-level officers will receive preferential treatment.
However, some special generals who commit heinous crimes will be defined as special war criminals and will be sanctioned and punished accordingly by the Eighth Route Army.
This was also a great deterrent for the Eighth Route Army against the Japanese army.
Thinking of this, the Japanese major general immediately backed down.
The Japanese adjutant was fighting on the sidelines again while the iron was hot: "General, at this stage of the battle, we have tried our best. Even if we are defeated and lose Licheng, it is not our fault. You must know that this time the main force of the Eighth Route Army has come out.<
/p>
Where can we, the security forces, be able to deal with it?
Even if we are forced to evacuate, Commander, you can't blame us for anything.
At worst, leaving Licheng to the Eighth Route Army can also contain it for a period of time.
If you don't withdraw, are you going to watch our team fall victim to this contest between the two sides?"
After hesitating for a moment, the Japanese Major General finally made up his mind.
"Xinxi, prepare to evacuate!"
This old devil decided not to struggle anymore.
The main force of the empire decided to surround the main force of the Eighth Route Army from the periphery. If he continued to choose to garrison at the center point of Licheng.
Even if the empire could wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, these remaining soldiers would never be able to withstand the Eighth Route Army's attack.
I caught a fish, but the bait was eaten.
Is the bait just a fool?
As soon as the little devils withdrew, the commanders of the main attacking Eighth Route Army units, including the 771st Regiment, 772nd Regiment and other main forces, also breathed a long sigh of relief.
The concrete fortifications built by the little devils at the center of Licheng are still extremely strong. Coupled with the tall and sturdy ancient city walls of Licheng itself, it is still very difficult to forcefully invade.
The two city gates that were breached by the Eighth Route Army relied on internal and external cooperation, and relied on the commandos to penetrate first and attack from the back and side, and then they were successfully captured.
If the remaining Japanese and puppet troops continue to hold on to the fortifications, the Eighth Route Army may have to pay a heavy price in casualties and may not be able to win the position.
So from the beginning, Commander Cheng and Commander Xu led their troops to besiege Li City. The formation looked huge and the attack was fierce, but they always deliberately left a city gate behind and deliberately left one to the little devil.
The way to escape.
Surrounding three cities but missing one.
I'm just afraid that the little devil has completely lost all hope of escaping, and if he resorts to desperate measures and fights to the death, it will be troublesome.
However, Japanese soldiers are also human beings, especially the security forces who have become accustomed to being pampered over the years, and their will to fight has gradually decayed.
Forced by the situation, the remaining Japanese and puppet defenders chose to evacuate from Licheng.
The Eighth Route Army's offensive troops were pursuing too closely. Coupled with the infiltration of various assault troops and the covert support of intelligence personnel, the Japanese's hasty evacuation meant that the large amount of supplies stored in Li City had no time to be taken away or destroyed.<
/p>
Just like that, the four cities surrounding Licheng, Shexian, Xiangyuan, and Lucheng in Liao County are still under defense!
Licheng, the Japanese logistics hub at the center, was the first to be breached.
The news that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had conquered Licheng spread quickly. Coupled with the deliberate propaganda of the Eighth Route Army's propaganda department, this battle report quickly shocked the entire North China.
First of all, in the Eighth Route Army base area, representatives from all parties, as well as international reporters, who have been eagerly awaiting the outcome of the Eighth Route Army's active attack on Licheng, finally received the news.
It was learned that Licheng, the logistics base camp of the Japanese 36th Division, had been captured by the Eighth Route Army.
At this moment, the Eighth Route Army has fully occupied Licheng and launched a defense with the help of Licheng's fortifications.
Representatives from all parties were naturally shocked, especially representatives from the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army.
Over the years, they have been used to being bullied by the little devils. They have always been defeated in frontal battlefield battles. How can they dare to expect any decent victory?
Looking at the Eighth Route Army again, they are on the battlefield behind enemy lines surrounded by heavy enemies, but now they dare to go deep alone and capture Licheng, the Japanese army's logistics center.
This is simply audacious.
But it also demonstrates the powerful combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army to this day.
Representatives from various countries were even more amazed by this, and some stubborn international friends said without hesitation: "I have always heard that in your Chinese army, the Central Army is the main force in the fight against Japan, and it is the most powerful force.
Now it seems that the news may be wrong.
These Eighth Route Army troops on the battlefield behind enemy lines seem to be your most elite team in China!"
Such a straightforward slap in the face!
The officers of the Jinsui Army are somewhat thick-skinned, and Chu Yunfei's face doesn't show much change in expression.
Several representatives of the Central Army had ugly expressions on their faces. They wanted to retort a few words, but when they thought of the situation of frontal battlefield combat, they were speechless for a moment.
These representatives and reporters did not witness the specific battles in which the main force of the Eighth Route Army attacked Licheng, but many war reporters witnessed the Eighth Route Army's reinforcement battles near Shexian, Xiangyuan, and Lucheng.
The Japanese reinforcements were beaten by the Eighth Route Army.
Thinking about it this way, the Eighth Route Army's battle to conquer Licheng must have been even more exciting.
After Licheng was captured, it soon spread to Shexian, Lucheng, Xiangyuan, Liaoxian and other four cities...
