Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 186 North China Belongs to the Eighth Route Army

Today, the Eighth Route Army has occupied the entire area north of the Yellow River.

The rest were the Japanese troops and the Kwantung Army.

That is, except for Beijing, Tianjin, Suiyuan and Rehe.

The rest are from the Eighth Route Army.

The National Army has basically completely lost its power in the north.

Yan Laoxi also failed in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain after the Battle of Taiyuan.

He directly announced his surrender to the Eighth Route Army.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was directly incorporated into the army.

Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment was also incorporated.

Then Chu Yunfei was still the commander of the 358th Regiment, and it was said that a new commander was assigned to him.

Zhang Ling’s First Army became the backbone of the entire Northern Dragon Kingdom.

In order to be able to attack Beijing and other places as soon as possible.

The First Army obeyed the order and went directly to the Japanese first line in the north to defend.

Zhang Ling led the First Army and divided them into three groups, heading directly into Datong, Baoding and Zhangjiakou.

These three cities all aimed at Beijing from three directions.

Zhang Ling also personally led his troops to garrison in Baoding.

This place is the closest to Peking.

It is also the most dangerous.

However, this is only relative to others.

To be honest, since the First Army has been training for almost seven or eight months.

The Japanese basically avoided the First Army when they heard its name.

Even entering Baoding was a very interesting thing.

Originally, Baoding, as the gateway to Beijing, was in the hands of the Japanese.

Moreover, the Japanese also assembled nearly 30,000 troops for defense.

But when they learned that it was the First Army led by Zhang Ling.

Now things get interesting.

The Japanese in Baoding were still marching with Zhang Ling and several divisions of the First Army.

They directly abandoned the puppet troops in the city and took the initiative to retreat towards Beiping.

The puppet troops in Baoding City simply sent people to surrender.

Although Zhang Ling was also worried about a trap.

But after making sure there were no problems, he accepted Baoding's surrender.

In other words, Baoding was basically liberated peacefully.

Now, the attack from Baoding to Beijing is only a matter of a hundred kilometers.

In addition, the First Army is now extremely mobile.

There are not only a large number of trucks, but also various motorcycles.

If you are passing through Peking, half a day is basically enough.

Therefore, Zhang Ling's First Army entered Baoding.

Basically, the three-pronged encirclement and attack on Peking was completed.

At the same time, the Japanese in Shandong were also sent by Li Yunlong and other troops of the New 1st Regiment to confront them.

Although the combat effectiveness of Li Yunlong and others' troops cannot be compared with that of the First Army.

But at least it was replenished by military factories in Taiyuan and other places.

Today's Eighth Route Army is not as poor as it was before.

All light and heavy weapons are available, as well as a large number of 155 howitzers.

That shot came down.

According to Li Yunlong.

All the previous battles were fought in vain.

This is what we call war.

Basically, the Eighth Route Army has now begun to choose to attack from all sides.

On the one hand, major factories in Central China fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Then military factories and heavy industries also came into play.

The equipment of the troops has been greatly improved.

On the other hand, as the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness increased, the strength of Chiang Kai-shek and the Japanese invaders declined.

Now the Eighth Route Army has shown signs of taking the initiative to attack.

But relatively speaking, they are all aimed at the Japanese.

As for Chiang Kai-shek.

The Yan'an side has been on a mission and cannot take action against Chiang Kai-shek for the time being.

After all, this would be suspected of undermining the war of resistance.

However, the Eighth Route Army today is very clear about this.

When the Japanese are driven out of Longguo, the next one will be Chiang Kai-shek.

And Chiang Kai-shek was naturally very clear about this.

Nanjing, the pseudo-Nationalist Government.

Old Wang was sitting in the office.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table.

His brows were also furrowed at this time.

To be honest, even Old Wang wanted to laugh.

He really didn't expect that he had been a traitor for 37 years.

I also thought that if the Japanese won and moved into the Central Plains, I would at least be able to survive.

But no one expected that the Japanese fought so well.

How come such a monster as the Eighth Route Army showed up halfway?

And simply turned the entire battlefield of Dragon Kingdom into one side.

Not to mention anything else, the entire North China is basically ruled by the Eighth Route Army.

The previously invincible elite divisions of the Japanese were now being beaten hard by the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, if you can avoid the Eighth Route Army, try to do so.

There is even news now that over in Manchukuo, that kid Xuantong is planning to run away to the Japanese homeland with the Japanese.

If Xuantong really ran away.

So what should I do?

Because of this, Lao Wang now has to start thinking about himself.

Originally he sent out two groups of people.

Along the way, we came into contact with the Eighth Route Army in the north.

The other way was to contact Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing.

As for the purpose.

Of course, it was so that if the Japanese were defeated in the future, he could return to Longguo.

Then, regardless of what you can do, at least you can survive.

But Old Wang never expected this.

This Chiang Kai-shek actually took the initiative to contact me.

Moreover, his words contained demands for peace talks with the Japanese, and he even intended to collude with them.

Let’s fight against the Eighth Route Army together.

Old Wang also felt that Chiang Kai-shek might be crazy.

What were you doing so early in the morning?

Are you going to seek refuge with the Queen Mother at this time?

is there time?

Old Wang also couldn't understand Chiang Kai-shek's train of thought.

Now, anyone who is not a fool can basically see it.

It is only a matter of time before the Eighth Route Army conquers the world.

Once the Northeast is taken over by the Eighth Route Army.

Then the Eighth Route Army would be truly invincible.

At that time, don’t even mention you, Chiang Kai-shek, and the Nanjing puppet government.

Even the Japanese soldiers had to kneel down and call him daddy.

You said you wanted to surrender to the Lord at this time.

I'm afraid you have a serious brain disease.

"Old Wang." Old Wang's wife Bijun walked in.

He was holding a bowl of soup in his hand.

"Drink it, it's a bit colder this way, the weather will get cold soon." Bijun looked at him worriedly.

Old Wang also smiled and took the soup from Bijun.

Drink it all in one gulp.

After drinking, Lao Wang sighed.

Bijun then said, "Chang Kaishen's eyesight is not good and he can't see the situation clearly."

"Old Wang, you can't be so confused. How is the communication with the Eighth Route Army going?"

"No news yet." Old Wang sighed helplessly.

"What I am most worried about now is that the Eighth Route Army will not recognize or accept my surrender."

"I was worried that the Eighth Route Army would conclude that I was a diehard traitor."

"Then we really have no way out."

After saying that, Lao Wang also shook hands with Bijun.

The two have been through ups and downs along the way and have supported each other.

It can be said that there is both love and affection between them.

But now it is more of a sadness.
