The Shaheba ambush was the first battle after the establishment of the North China Militia Column with a total force of over 10,000. After comprehensive consideration, Deng Chenggong finally decided that it was time to erect the "anti-flag flag". Otherwise, those warlord forces and the National Party who did not work hard to fight the Japanese and were more powerful than the other. After learning that the North China Militia Column had this strength, they would definitely not be able to sit still and want to come to the base to make trouble.

In order to make the other party understand that offending him as the commander of the column would have serious consequences. In the end, after cleaning the battlefield, he asked Xu Mingyuan to send this telegram, which seemed a bit ridiculous to the eyes of the military and civilians across the country in the early morning of the next day.

Nearly 15,000 Japanese Fourth Division and Xingtai 108th Brigade were annihilated, and lieutenant general, commander of the Japanese Fourth Division, Lieutenant General, commander of the division of the division, ten colonel officers, and the rest of the minor officers and soldiers were ignored. As the telegram spread across the country, the first reaction of all forces who received the telegram was how could it be.

Even if the Japanese army headquarters in North China, far away in Shijiazhuang, was far away, and the North China militia column that was unexpected, they did not believe that the Fourth Division would be wiped out and that the division commanders were all captured alive. But when their pilots arrived at the battlefield, except for some farmers who were staying here to pick up scrap iron shells and wear people's clothes, they could not see any traces of war below. It seemed that the troops attacking the Fourth Division had disappeared overnight without a trace.

What made the North China Garage Command even more troubled was that the eastern road encirclement, which was originally thought to be about to end, had the Eastern Road encirclement and suppression issued by this telegram. The Eastern Road Army, which seemed to have only breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly launched a siege against several major counties in the south. Not only did it break the ambush circle set up by these garrisons, but many county towns even let the other party robbed them completely.

If it weren't for knowing, the other party plundered the county's supplies and returned to the countryside and the mountains to cultivate and rest. The Japanese Army Command in North China had the urge to transfer the Kwantung Army to clear out this militia column.

While various forces were still sending additional personnel to investigate the situation of this North China militia column and the news about the Shaheba ambush, a news reported by a reporter from the US Wall Street, undoubtedly confirmed. In the already occupied North China region, a militia unit composed of ordinary people did eliminate a Class A main division of the Japanese army. And this American reporter also showed several photos taken from unknown places about the 4th Division commander Kanei being arrested alive.

From these photos, we can see that the white and fat division commander is living a good life at present, but it is enough to prove that the news that the North China militia column won the battle is true. In the occupied areas of North China, there is indeed an army that defeated the main division of the Japanese army. For a time, the people across the country were cheering and were also very interested in the young general who was mentioned by the American reporter.

Looking at the news translated from American journalists in China, Jiang Guangtou, who was sitting in the Chongqing Military Intelligence Command Room, felt more and more angry as he looked at it: "My West, are you all having a good meal? A bunch of militia can destroy a main division of the Japanese army. Why are you elite troops of the national army losing and fleeing? Can't you even compare to a bunch of mobs?"

It was this North China militia column again. He Yingqing looked at the military general who was buried in the conference room and said, "President, as far as I know, this militia armed forces have developed to a scale of nearly 100,000 units at this time. In addition, they relied on favorable terrain to ambush the Japanese army, so there was such a big victory. But President, do you know that this Japanese main division is actually not even a second-rate unit in the Japanese army. This time, those militias just picked up a soft persimmon and it was no big deal!"

When Jiang Guangtou heard this, he became more angry and said, "From what you mean, their battle is pure luck? Then why don't you pick me up such luck? Niang Xipi, they usually think they are very awesome. Now you can't even beat a militia team. What's the face of sitting here and thinking you're self-righteous?

Soft Persimmon, if this Fourth Division is a soft persimmon, why did you still let this soft persimmon run away in a mess when you met him? Do you know that now when you walk on the street, people say that our national army is not even as good as a militia. What do you want me to say? If you are really loyal to the party and the country, then let me win such a battle, don’t know how to fool me with empty words all day long!”

Jiang Guangtou, who became more and more angry, announced that the meeting had not been held yet, which made the senior military generals sitting here really feel cowardly. In fact, they also knew very well that although this Fourth Division was not strong in combat, no one dared to say that they were sure to win one army against another. But now a group of militias won and arrested a living lieutenant general. This is an ironclad fact, no matter how they refute it, they feel a little confident.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this meeting that when the Kuomintang army faced the Japanese army, as long as someone said that they could not resist the Japanese attack, these generals would say without hesitation: "You are not even as good as a militia!", so the national army had a lot of resentment towards this famous and unseen North China militia column!

After all forces realized that this North China militia column had truly achieved an equal position with them, a group of people soon sent a message of condolences. Of course, there were also a lot of so-called condolences, which made Xu Mingyuan, who was worried about funds for reconstruction of the base, laughed so hard that he couldn't stop whenever he received a telegram.

The Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, which was originally in the battle to clear out the Northern Route Army, had to hurriedly end the unfinished encirclement and suppression in the north and turn the gun head to stabilize the safety of the important southern towns. This two-month sweep was officially over.

This large-scale mobilization launched by the Japanese army in the spring of 1938 was not only caused some damage to the base of the North China Militia Column, but many people and military and civilians died in the sweep. However, compared with the losses of the Japanese army, the North China Militia Column undoubtedly achieved a major victory. After re-compressing the Japanese control area to only the county town, the expansion of the base area had even reached the rural areas outside Tianmu and Beiping.

Deng Chenggong, who knew that the Japanese should not leave too much time, reorganized the troops that had participated in the large-scale mobilization into regular militia brigades, while using all the materials and wealth looted from the county town to expand their power and rebuild the base. When the compensation was finally paid, Xu Mingyuan finally could take a breath after finding that the money in his account was already pitifully small.

Perhaps I thought that although these North China militias were abominable, they did not harm their transportation at least. I thought that this large-scale mobilization also caused the North China militia column to hurt the North China Japanese army. In the end, it dispelled the plan to transfer the Japanese main force of the front line to fight with the Kuomintang troops. In addition to strengthening the military defense in the county, it seemed that they were very honest and did not go out of the city and the countryside easily. This situation where they were obviously mortal enemies but could live in peace made many forces in all sides who thought that North China would rekindle the war, and they really thought that there was some reason for this.

After seeing that the situation in the base area was getting calmer, Deng Chenggong saw that there was not much money on his books and probably had problems with what he wanted to do. He decided it was time to sell these fat and fat Fourth Division officers at a good price. Otherwise, the Japanese would do this kind of big sweep again, and I am afraid that he would also face the risk of bankruptcy.

Originally, Deng Chenggong planned to send a telegram to the Japanese to see what price the Japanese could pay to redeem these Japanese officers, but he was strongly opposed by Matsui Min and others.

Deng Chenggong, who was a little puzzled, also humbly asked for advice. When he concluded, doing so would not only make the Japanese army feel that Deng Chenggong was humiliating them. Even if Matsui Ming and others were redeemed, there would be only a way out. If they surrender or not, they would die, and Matsui Ming and others would naturally want to die with dignity.

Matsui Min was angry about selling them for money, but he also felt that as long as they could go out alive, the wealth they had plundered in China was enough for them to find a country to enjoy their happiness. For this reason, they unanimously agreed to accept only the purchases of domestic forces in China, not the purchases of the Japanese army.

Given that these little kids were honest when they arrived at the base and paid a lot of money for redeeming their lives, Deng Chenggong finally felt that if there were more of such officers in the Japanese army, it would be a blessing for the Chinese War of Resistance. Then he decided to let the other party have a way out, provided that someone could pay the starting price.

As a result, except for Deng Chenggong, the People's Party, who did not send a telegram to inquire, the prices given by other forces made Deng Chenggong feel that these guys are really rich!

The most expensive one is undoubtedly the lieutenant general Matsui Min. The KMT gave the highest offer of one million oceans. Other military government forces seemed to know that the lieutenant general was too expensive and the price was not much. But the three major generals also sold at a sky-high price of 500,000 to 800,000 to a sky-high price of 500,000 to 800,000.

As for the colonel and the rank of the magistrate officers below, the forces of various parties also offered tens of thousands of oceans respectively. This made Deng Chenggong, who originally thought that the country was very poor, more and more felt that the opportunity in the future was suitable. Should we do more such a good thing as "robbing the rich and helping the poor"?

Finally, after Xu Mingyuan was counted, they sold all the Japanese soldiers captured at the base, they could sell them for three to four million oceans. Xu Mingyuan naturally kept saying, "It's worth it! Next, we have money for another big battle." Under this kind of ocean power, even officers from regular military academy such as Hu Guangzong felt that doing this was a bit too vague, but compared to the ocean that could rebuild several more troops, he still chose to default.

This war was called "the most shameful business of the Japanese army" by later military experts. As the forces of various parties held a check and led the way with special people, they took the Japanese officers they purchased back to their respective territory. Soon the people discovered that these warlord forces that had been defeating war seemed to have some skills. They were able to capture so many officers and generals alive, and only the forces who knew them were well aware of it. For this farce propaganda offensive, they looked down on the other side and also promoted their own merits according to their script.
