First, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army ambushed the Japanese railway line, and also took the opportunity to attack the Japanese advance strongholds, gun towers, and villages.
Then the New Second Regiment secretly dispatched a tank company and ambushed the Japanese transport train.
After the two wars ended, the Sino-Japanese situation in northwest Shanxi quietly changed.
For the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi.
This battle was a huge failure. Not only were a large number of advanced strongholds prepared for a large-scale raid soon to be carried out by the independent regiment, but also three transportation lines were ambushed at once, and more than a thousand tons of military rations were lost.
Because the food was not transported into the county.
The Japanese and puppet troops, who were already in urgent need of food, became increasingly distressed.
However, whether it is near Yangquan or Ping'an, the Eighth Route Army troops are obviously watching with eager eyes. If they continue to try to transport food through the railway line, the Japanese army cannot guarantee whether they will be ambushed again.
Therefore, the Japanese will not carry out large-scale military food transportation for the time being until sufficient preparations are made and vigilance is strengthened along the way.
"These damn Eighth Route Army are really hateful. They first deliberately launched propaganda to lure a large number of victims to the occupied areas of our Empire of Japan."
"Then they took advantage of the chaos to ambush our army's transportation lines and took away military supplies."
"General, the military rations transported at the moment have not arrived smoothly. The situation of our troops is getting worse and worse. The remaining grains are not enough for the Imperial Japanese troops themselves. There is no extra food to continue to distribute to the victims, even if it is just for superficial purposes.
work."
Taiyuan City, Japanese Chief of Staff Beichuan of the First Army Headquarters in Shanxi said with some annoyance.
He continued his analysis:
"General, the Eighth Route Army troops lack mechanized transport vehicles. The large amount of military rations they intercepted this time cannot be transported back to their bases in a short time."
"Coupled with the fact that our army has blocked the route along the way, and the checkpoints at all checkpoints have been strengthened, if the Eighth Road transports food through, it will inevitably be discovered by our army."
"So what I can conclude is that most of the robbed food is still in our army's blockade area."
At this point, his words were generous: "General, this is the best time for us to regain our military supplies and severely damage the Eighth Route Army."
"As for these victims, we can publish notices and explain them. We can tell them that all the food that was originally shipped to the occupied areas to be distributed to them was taken away by the Eighth Route Army. If they want to survive, they should quickly go to the Eighth Route Army base area." p>
"The Eighth Route Army will not let you go hungry."
"In this way, it not only solves the problem of disaster victims in the area occupied by our army, but also pushes these victims to the Eighth Route Army. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Eighth Route base area, our army can quickly attack, explore the news, take the opportunity to regain the lost military rations, and eliminate the Eighth Route Army.
Hidden troops."
After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a moment and agreed with Kitagawa's proposal.
"Xingxi, Mr. Beichuan, let me make arrangements for this matter quickly!"
"Hi!"
The efficiency of the Japs was quite good. After the Japs headquarters issued the order, the major Japanese counties quickly made corresponding adjustments to their plans.
A large number of notices were posted on the streets and alleys of major counties and towns such as Yangquan, Shouyang, Pingan, Tanxian, Taikoo, and Taiyuan.
On the notice, Xiaoguizi published the content in Japanese as usual, plus a Chinese translation.
As for what is written.
It was nothing more than putting on a red face and scolding the Eighth Route Army for being despicable. The food originally prepared by the Japanese Empire to help the victims survive the disaster was robbed by the Eighth Route Army troops during transportation.
Then the conversation changed.
The Japanese military command directly stated clearly:
The victims who continue to stay in the areas occupied by the Japanese Empire will not receive half a grain of food. The only way to survive is to rush to the Eighth Route Army base area immediately.
The Eighth Route Army has robbed a large amount of military rations from the imperial troops. As long as you disaster victims pass by, you will definitely have food to eat.
The people are simple and simple-minded. In this war, chaos, natural and man-made disasters, as long as they can have food to eat.
There are many believers, but there are also unbelievers.
The sensible people clapped their hands secretly and applauded.
The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese were sworn enemies, so it was common sense to rob the Japanese of their rations.
And the villagers are not stupid. Even if the little devil has this food, it is impossible to use it to relieve the victims.
There were also some people who were more confused and chose to believe what the little devil said. They just packed up their simple packages and rushed towards the Eighth Route Army base area.
The Japanese haven't given out porridge for several days. If they don't rush to the Eighth Route Army base area to have a few mouthfuls of food, they may starve to death.
The trick of the old Japanese Yoshio Shinozuka and Kitagawa really worked.
As for those victims who continued to stay in the areas occupied by the Japanese and did not easily believe the notices issued by the Japanese to leave.
The Japanese security forces will not be polite to the unarmed people and directly use force to drive them away.
Although this matter was not the original intention of Yoshio Shinozuka and Kitagawa.
But the low-level Japanese officers who carried out the execution used too much force.
But after hearing about this, Yoshio Shinozuka and Kitagawa still turned a blind eye and would not deliberately correct their mistakes at all.
The Japanese soldiers even fired machine guns at the civilians as a deterrent, frightening the civilians into beast-like shapes and scattering in the direction of the Eighth Route Army base area.
As for why the people are not popular.
The little devils who were ambushed by the Independent Regiment and lost millions of kilograms of military rations could no longer care about this.
They have never won the hearts of the people, but under the pressure of force, don't they still manage the occupied areas in an "orderly" manner?
A team headquarters.
Li Wenjie, the political commissar who rushed to the regiment headquarters after receiving the news, couldn't help but cursed.
"The Japanese army is so cruel that they are worse than animals, but they never take the lives of our compatriots seriously."
After entering the room and seeing Kong Jie and Xu Guoan looking over, Li Wenjie explained:
"Captain, there is news from the enemy's Ministry of Industry that in Yangquan, Ping'an, including major surrounding counties, the Japanese have begun to use force to suppress and drive away the victims, driving a large number of victims towards our Eighth Route Army base area."
"The unscrupulous little devils even directly ordered their guns to be pointed at the unarmed people and were carrying out bloody suppression."
"These idiots..."
Can force the elegant Li Wenjie to curse.
The cruelty and hatefulness of this little devil is evident.
When Kong Jie heard this, he was also furious.
He guessed that the Japanese army would stop helping the victims because their food was robbed, and would even drive the victims to the Eighth Route Army base area.
But he didn't expect that the Japanese would directly break up and use force to suppress the victims.
This made Commander Kong feel guilty. After all, it was his final idea to use propaganda to get the victims to rush to the Japanese-occupied areas.
Although this move will allow more victims to receive relief on the way, they will not starve to death on the way.
"The stupid little devil is going too far to bully people. They only have a thousand tons of food. How about directly suppressing the victims with force?"
Kong Jie said angrily: "Signal Corps, immediately send orders to all regiments to disperse their troops to the outer guerrilla areas to cover the transfer of the victims to our army base. If you encounter little devils chasing you along the way, you are welcome, just say hello to the dead!"<
/p>
"Yes!" the signal corps soldier responded loudly.
Chief of Staff Xu Guoan is now focusing on another matter:
"Lao Kong, I'm afraid the Japanese move is not that simple."
"A large number of victims are pouring into our base area. The Japanese will definitely take the opportunity to infiltrate the spies and find out our true identity. I think the Japanese are coming for the food we intercepted and hid in the guerrilla zone."
As soon as these words came out, Kong Jie and Li Wenjie, who were a little angry about the victims, suddenly came to their senses.
Kong Jie said: "Old Xu, what you said is absolutely right. I have been on guard against the little devil's revenge for robbing us of food, but I didn't expect it to come quite quickly."
