Chapter 980 The most meaningful intelligence

Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng left quietly, and Liu Yimin also left quietly. However, Shim City was still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Flour mills, rolling factories, yarn mills, garment shops, and shoe factories were all working hard. First... This is to produce military supplies for the Chinese army, and the Eighth Route Army was cash-free. Merchants and workers were all holding their energy to produce more flour, cotton, cloth, clothing, and shoes, and do their part for the War of Resistance.

In addition to organizing production, Song Renqiong, the political commissar of southern Ji District, was busy transporting materials to the Taihang base and the Jin-Cha-Hebei base, and also busy establishing underground stations in Shimeng City, so that the Eighth Route Army's eyes could grow into Shimeng City and monitor the Japanese's every move.

On the night of November 26, the vanguard of the Japanese heavy army group had arrived in Luancheng County. Chen Zaidao and Song Renqiong ordered the troops to evacuate in different ways. The main force evacuated the Shimian and Pinghan Road positions in batches, hid in the tunnel, evacuated through the tunnel, and returned to the hinterland of the southern Hebei base. He pretended to be a torch to retreat to the direction of the well, causing the illusion of our army's withdrawal to Taihang Mountain. Until late at night, the Japanese vanguard entered the suburbs of Shimian, Song Renqiong led the cavalry guard company to hold the torch high, exited the Shimian, and rushed to the west of Shimian. He wanted to return to the Taihang base to report his work to Chief Liu Deng, and happened to take on the final enemy mission.

Before retreating, Song Renqiong summoned Ma Heqiu, the mayor of the pseudo-Shim City.

Song Renqiong was only 30 years old this year. Inspired by the capture of Shi Mén and life was good in Shi Mén these days, Song Renqiong's face became radiant, and his eyes looked at Ma Heqiong became a little more ridiculous.

Song Renqiong's words were very concise: "Mr. Ma, our army is going to evacuate Shimeng. According to the order of General Liu Yimin, commander of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, we will convey to you... Request: First, the reason why our army does not kill you is because you have put in some labor in the construction of Shimeng. The construction of Shimeng cannot be stopped. We must try to make the Japanese army increase their investment and speed up the construction speed; second, do not commit evil, and do more unrighteous things will die by themselves; third, after our army evacuated, we organized the released Japanese overseas Chinese, pseudo police, and self-defense members in the city to welcome the Japanese army outside the city to avoid the Japanese army's crazy revenge and massacre of innocent civilians."

After saying that, Song Renqiong did not give Ma Hehui any chance to confess and explain, so he drove him away directly. Doing so was to create a strong psychological pressure on Ma Hehui, making him unable to understand the reality of our army and have to do as required by our army.

So, a strange scene appeared: when the Japanese vanguard entered the city of Shimeng, the street lights in Shimeng were still bright. Ma Heqiu, the mayor of the pseudo-Shimeng City, and Taro Kakura, the consultant of the pseudo-Shimeng Municipal Office, led the Japanese overseas Chinese, Japanese puppet reporters, pseudo-spoken police, and pseudo-Shimeng Self-Defense League, lined up in two long rows on the road, and welcomed the Japanese army in a row.

Although there were street lights, and the motorcycles, tanks, armored vehicles and car lights of the Japanese vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard still couldn't believe their eyes, for fear of fraud, and dared not continue to move forward. It was not until Taro Taro Katakura ran to the front and said a lot of birds, that the Japanese officer believed that the Eighth Route Army had evacuated from Shim, and retreated in the direction of Taihang Mountain. He hurriedly reported to the main force, and then drove into the city.

Shiro Inaba, the commander of the Japanese heavy army group, received a report and arrived in the city of Ishimeng, it was already dawn.

Walking into the courtyard of the original Shijiazhuang Guard Command, four slogans brushed vertically on the building: "Fight to Japanese imperialism", "Eliminate Japanese invaders", "Go back to the East", "Fight to Peiping and capture Tada Jun alive"

Since Shiro Inaba led his troops to land in Lianyungang, he has been fighting and marching from southeastern Shandong to southwest Shandong and then to Pinghan Road. He has never even had a sleep. His eyes were sleepy, his face was sallow, and his neatly tidy beard that had always been resting and recuperating has grown.

Seeing the slogans of the Eighth Route Army, Shiro Inaba's eyes turned red. He pulled out his command knife and chopped at the slogan on the wall, and scolded: "Baga Liu Yimin, cowards, liars, thieves, work Baga"

After cursing, I was tired. Inaba Shiro sat down on the ground with his butt, gasping with his mouth open, as if he was about to spit out all his depression.

Takura Tengtaro stood aside, lowered his head and whispered: "Lieutenant General, the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on Ishimeng at one o'clock on the night of the 19th. The Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was very powerful. With just one round of attack, it basically destroyed the outer positions of the garrison. Immediately afterwards, the Eighth Route Army launched a fierce attack on Ishimeng from three directions, east, south and north. The first to enter the city was the Eighth Route Army's east attack troops, mainly dominated by combat vehicles, armored vehicles and cars. The Shijiazhuang garrison had no chance to shrink its troops and establish street fighting fortifications, and Ishimeng was captured."

Inaba Shiro didn't say a word, maybe he was dizzy.

Takura Tengtaro continued to report: "After the Eighth Route Army captured Shimeng, they arrested us all, and the situation was unclear. However, Liu Yimin quickly held a press conference and I was released. After coming out, I realized that the Eighth Route Army did not do damage like in Tianjin and Qingdao. Shimeng's enterprises could produce as usual, and the railway station was intact. I don't know how the airport was."

Shiro Inaba immediately stood up from the ground and roared at Takurakura Tentaro: "Baga, your big stupid Dog Yamaro treats Shimeng as their freight station. Come whenever you want, and leave whenever you want. Shimeng's company has not been destroyed, and 80% of the goods produced have disappeared, right?"

Takura Tengtaro Katakura stumbled on the report: "Lieutenant General, although I was released, I cannot act casually. The scope of activities is limited to home and on the streets. I cannot go to all valuable targets. Tonight, I only saw a large number of Eighth Route Army retreating across the line and heading towards the Taihang Mountains to the west. Sorry, I have caused you trouble."

Inaba Shiro stared at Takura Tentaro with his eyes that looked like a dead fish.

As the Japanese army entered the city in large numbers, by nine o'clock in the morning, the situation of Shim was basically clear. The Eighth Route Army did not destroy the railway station, but took away all the railway tracks between Zhengding and Yuanshi. The apron at Daguozhuang Airport was not destroyed. However, in addition to the neatly arranged Japanese pilots, ground crews, and guards, there was no bullet or screw. The train station and cargo yard were not destroyed, but all the bullets, grain and other incompetent materials stored there disappeared, and there was no trace of explosion at the scene, indicating that all these materials were entered the Eighth Route Army's pockets. The same was true in Shim City. The factories and shops opened by the Chinese were produced and operated as usual. The Japanese, public officials' enterprises, shops, and homes were cleaned by the Eighth Route Army and turned into paupers.

He mobilized such a huge army and launched heavy troops to sweep them around. He not only did not eliminate Liu Yimin's democratic force, but he seized the opportunity to eliminate the main force of the 38th Division, Shijiazhuang garrison, and took the most important baggage supply base in North China. This battle was too cowardly

Looking at the long Japanese overseas Chinese team outside the headquarters who patted the long line of the imperial army to eliminate the Eighth Route Army and regain their property, Inaba Shiro felt a sense of frustration in his heart. He couldn't help but pick up the phone on the table and wanted to get to the commander of the North China Front Army, Tada Jun, and reported: "Commander, you have been fooled again outside. Ishimén is an empty city, and the Eighth Route Army has fled."

After making the phone call, the exhausted Shiro Inaba had to order the troops to go into rest and restore the soldiers to their lower power and deal with the bodies of the dead soldiers.

Shiro Inaba’s report was quite elegant. The angry Jung Tada, who was not so elegant. He put down the phone receiver, Jung Tada turned around and roared at Yoshisu Ryosuke: "Baga is fooled by Liu Yimin again. The warriors are not soldiers, nor cowards, thieves, and liars do not even have the courage to let go. I despise him."

In fact, without the need for Shiro Inaba, Tada Jun and Yoshizuru Ryosuke already knew that Ishimeng Castle was an empty city. The Eighth Route Army did not close the Ishimeng Telegram and Telephone Bureau, and did not prohibit those released Japanese reporters from publishing and making phone calls. As soon as the Eighth Route Army retreated, the North China Front Army Command received the report and also knew that the Eighth Route Army was retreating in the direction of Taihang Mountain. The reason why Tada Jun's roared again was just a feeling of depression and nowhere to vent.

Tada Jun didn't believe it at all when the Eighth Route Army retreated into the Taihang Mountains. If it were other Eighth Route Army troops, retreating to the Taihang Mountains was the most correct choice when the Japanese army returned to Shimeng. However, Liu Yimin's army was not an ordinary Eighth Route Army unit. He had so many chariots, armored vehicles, and cars. Can he drive into the Taihang Mountains?

Tada Jun finished roaring and stood in front of the map. He wanted to find out where the main force of the Eighth Route Army had fled and where he was hiding.

Yoshizuru Ryosu was the chief of staff. In addition to the military, he had to consider many issues. Longhai Road has been built now, but the southern section of Jinpu Road has not been built yet. Now Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road have been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. Although the mileage of damage is not large, the Eighth Route Army always does this. Where does the North China Front Army go to? How much manpower and material resources do it just to build a railway? Moreover, the most urgent problem is that Shim's supply supplies were plundered by the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army had sufficient ammunition, but the First Army in Shanxi was complaining. Without ammunition, grain, and supplies, how to fight? At least it would affect the continuous combat. Fortunately, the four divisions that the Kwantung Army headed south from Pinghan Road had all returned north, otherwise, these four divisions were even worse than the First Army, and they were facing the problem of no bullets, shells and food at the time.

Yoshizuru Ryosuke reminded Tada Jun that he must concentrate his efforts to repair Pinghan Road and Masato Road as soon as possible, otherwise the situation of the Living First Army will be dangerous.

After all, Tada Jun is Tada Jun. He is about to get a phone call from the Minister of Railways of the North China Front Army, Shimori Shimori, and asked him to quickly prepare the rails and sleepers, and organize all the organized forces to repair Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road.

Shimoda Muroki just reported on the phone that he had difficulties, but he was scolded by Tada Jung. First, he called the railway garrison all the guys who were not good at using it. He occupied the organization and took military pay, and couldn't even see the railway. The Eighth Route Army was scattered everywhere. The money of Japan was consumed by a group of stupid animals like the railway garrison. Then, Tada Jung threatened Shimoda Jung, saying that if the Pinghan Road and the Masahiro Road were not built in time, if the First Army was in danger due to the inability to transport supplies, he would definitely ask His Majesty the Emperor to ask all the second lieutenants or above of the Ministry of Railways to apologize.

Tada Jun put down his microphone after he said harsh words. He knew that the Ministry of Railways would strictly implement his orders.

In fact, this is true. On the day when the Japanese army recaptured the Shimén, they began to repair Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road. Before they could catch migrant workers, the Japanese used engineers and puppet troops and drove them out.

As early as when the Eighth Route Army attacked Zaozhuang, Jun Tada ordered Shirata to prepare enough materials to repair Jinpu Road and Longhai Road, and asked the base camp to agree that it would be provided with full supply by Mandroit Corporation. The Longhai Road had just been built and Jinpu Road was under construction, and Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. The pressure of Shirata's strength can be imagined. But he had no choice but to complain that Tadashi Jun was incompetent. He could only curse the Eighth Route Army and Liu Yimin viciously, while constantly calling the president of Mandroit Corporation, sending telegrams, and begging for strong support. He also urged his subordinates to go to the construction site to supervise the construction.

Tada Jun now needs to figure out one problem, that is, whether Liu Yimin’s democratic force is hidden in the central Hebei region north of Deshi Highway, or in the southern Hebei region south of Deshi Highway. Then, it is better to mobilize a large army to surround it and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

Tada Jun was not trapped for long. Mori Gang, the head of the North China Front Army secret service agency, came to report, saying that he had received reliable information. Liu Yiming's democratic force crossed the Jinpu Road and arrived at the Hebei-Shandong Border Region.

After hearing this, Tada Jung and Yoshisuke Ryosuke and Hirata Masato heard it, their mouths were almost broken.

After being surprised, Tada Jun slowly regained his rationality and asked in a low voice: "Yi Yoshioka-kun, is your information reliable?"

Yoshioka reported that his intelligence came from the report of agents lurking inside the Eighth Route Army in the Hebei-Shandong Border Eighth Route Army. This inside line is the original NV student who went south from Tianjin. She became an NV cadre of the Eighth Route Army Hebei-Shandong Border Art Troupe. She was an important leader of the Eighth Route Army Hebei-Shandong Border Region. This leader was received by Liu Yimin last night. After returning, he showed off Liu Yimin's praise for him. The intelligence was absolutely reliable. As for when Liu Yimin came from, where and what methods he took to cross the Jinpu Road, it is still unclear, and it is even more unclear where Liu Yimin will escape next.

This is enough, too precious and timely, Tada Jun couldn't help but pat Yoshioka's shoulder twice, saying that it was the largest and most meaningful information he had seen that the Imperial Army had obtained since the beginning of the heavy army.
