The father of the sword is Kong Jie

The battle in the Jiaodong area gradually came to an end.

This battle was so exciting.

It was so exciting that the Japanese army spent all their manpower and material resources, gathered three groups of troops, and came overwhelmingly, but it turned out to be a one-sided battle situation.

The Japanese troops who surrendered themselves to the trap received a hellish blow.

Not only the Eighth Route Army, but also the National Army and the Japanese Army witnessed this battle with their own eyes. This battle showed the rise of the Eighth Route Army and the strength of the army. Allied countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union also personally participated in and witnessed this battle.

The most shocked ones were some generals of the Allied Observation Group, who, along with military attachés and congressional representatives from various countries, followed the British and American assault groups and rushed to the front line.

As a result, what the team saw along the way was that there were corresponding supply points at every other section, and the marching routes and locations of each unit were arranged in an orderly manner.

There was even a hot meal for every meal on the road.

This made these British and American generals say it was unbelievable that the Eighth Route Army's logistics support work had become so outstanding!

Even these troops, who consider themselves to be powerful military powers, may not be able to reach such an exaggerated level when conducting field operations.

Thinking back to the rumors from earlier years, it was said that the Eighth Route Army fighting behind enemy lines was probably not even a regular army. The conditions were extremely difficult and the equipment was very backward.

What is happening now is an earth-shaking change.

When they arrived at the most intense area of ​​the fighting, the battlefield with the main Japanese forces, the soldiers in these assault groups, under the deliberate light of the Eighth Route Army commanders, just stayed behind to assist in some logistical work.

For example, they help transport frontline supplies, treat the wounded, familiarize themselves with the terrain, and help the people in the base area take care of their children.

There was nothing unconvincing. Looking at the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the Eighth Route Army, these commando group members from the British, American, Soviet and other Allied countries all said that their participation in this battle was a bit unnecessary.

The Eighth Route Army took care of the little devils themselves!

Especially when they saw Fang Zishan's troops piercing like knives into the main force of the Japs launching a pincer offensive, and even daring to build fortifications on the spot and launch a blockade in front of the two major Japanese military groups, these British and American generals were even more amazed.

The final result was even more shocking.

In a narrow area of ​​less than three kilometers on both sides, these Eighth Route Army withstood the Japanese attack for seven days, preventing the Japanese from gathering together.

This created very good conditions for the outflanking troops.

This commander named Fang is really a magical general who is good at defense.

In the end, the Allied assault group followed the main forces of the Eighth Route Army to tear through the Japanese defense line, went in and strangled the main Japanese troops, and took advantage of the Eighth Route Army while having a drink of soup.

After the handover between the two sides, the Eighth Route Army soldiers directly started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese without any hesitation.

This made these British, American and Soviet generals look stunned.

Although this little devil is not tall, according to the training in the infantry drill code, bayonet stabbing has always been a particularly important aspect.

All over the world, the Japanese infantry are quite famous for their fighting prowess.

On the Pacific battlefield, the US military, which originally looked tall and powerful, suffered a big loss because of its carelessness. As a result, it was almost unilaterally massacred by the Japanese army in hand-to-hand combat.

The short little devil can even pick off several tall Americans by himself with the help of his skilled stabbing skills.

From then on, the nearly frightened US military no longer dared to fight with those little Japs with bayonets. They launched fire attacks from a distance. Once they were handed over by the Japs in hand-to-hand combat, in panic, they simply raised their flags and surrendered.

No one dares to bayonet with such an animal.

But these Eighth Route Army soldiers were very skilled in fixing their bayonets.

Fight hand-to-hand in an instant without any hesitation.

Dare to go head-to-head with the Japanese with bayonets.

What an iron-blooded and heroic steel division this is!

Reporters from various countries were even more stunned. In addition to being astonished, they quickly used their cameras to take pictures of the scene on the battlefield.

They made up their minds in their hearts that after this battle, they must publicize this in time and let countries and troops around the world know about it.

It's really about courage and bloodiness.

Chinese soldiers should be as good as those of any other country in the world.

The surprise was even greater when the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army used their machetes to cut down the Japanese with overwhelming momentum.

Even the Japanese invaders, who had a reputation for bayonet fighting, were completely defeated!

This scene made Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other parties come to the United States in amazement, and completely realized that no matter what the future would be, in the war of resistance against Japan.

The Eighth Route Army is undoubtedly the most reliable ally.

After all, when they kill the Japanese, they really do it! He slashed away one by one, blood splattered on his eyes, but he didn't even blink.

This also made the allies such as Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union more and more determined to assist the Eighth Route Army.

In the final analysis, in order to better contain the Japanese troops in China and ease the war situation in their own country, everything is based on interests.

For the troops in China, they are willing to help whoever wins.

And they never help anyone who needs help.

As the Eighth Route Army grows stronger, it can contain more Japanese troops. This is a situation that the United States is very happy to see.

Poor old Japanese Okamura tried desperately to rescue him, but the major base areas of the Eighth Route Army only mobilized independent field-oriented mobile troops, and a large number of main troops in the defense area had not moved yet!

If the Japanese dare to mobilize their troops on a large scale, they can immediately launch an offensive to intercept them.

By then, surrounding the Jiaodong area, it may even turn into a complete mess.

It was a messy battle that the Japanese army simply could not afford.

The losses of the Japanese army will only become more severe.

Today, as the Pacific battlefield and the Southeast Asian battlefield gradually enter a decline, the elite of China's dispatched troops are constantly being transferred, and the Japanese army is no longer as strong as it used to be.

Okamura has completely lost the confidence to fight a war of attrition with the Eighth Route Army.

For a moment, Okamura was like a sick tiger tied to a tree. He had no power but no threat. Who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to touch this tiger's butt?

Even Harada, Ishikawa and other old Japanese soldiers complained privately:

The position of the Imperial China Expeditionary Force was originally supposed to be a tiger, but instead a dog (Shunroku Hata) was placed that was more than capable of defending but not enough to attack. But now it has become even more unbearable. Even a pig like Okamura can be the commander. This How can you beat the Eighth Route Army?

The final battle has not yet completely ended.

After the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army on May Day, the jingle "Okamura Okamura is as stupid as a pig" compiled by the Eighth Route Army base area, accompanied by the guerrilla war song, once again spread throughout China, and even spread to the world. When Okamura heard the news, he was already hospitalized because he was so angry that he almost died of anger.

When the Eighth Route Army units returned, the Japanese troops stationed along the way simply turned a blind eye and no one dared to be the first to intercept them.

All of them imitated the Japs in Shanxi and began to seek personal gain for themselves, lying about military information, in the name of preserving their vitality, in order to avoid greater losses.

When the Japanese command was held accountable, they used various excuses, such as the main force of the Eighth Route Army was coming, and they were all steel-helmeted soldiers. Some even dared to report to the superiors, saying that they had bumped into the main force of tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

The implication is that they can't be defeated anyway. If the troops lose their troops and the county where they are stationed is lost, who can they ask to reason?

Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, deployed such a large formation in the Jiaodong area, and the three armies advanced at the same time, but the result was a complete defeat.

You can't expect us troops stationed along the way to destroy the Eighth Route Army, right?

Ask for a specific time.

They are all words like possibilities, estimates, and approximations, none of which are accurate.

Okamura was so angry that he wanted to get angry, but there was nothing he could do. The dignity of a commander-in-chief who had lost a battle had long since been wiped out.

And with the end of the Jiaodong war.

As the absolute winner, the Eighth Route Army achieved quite fruitful results after this battle.

——The Jiaodong Military Region has been completely stabilized, and the original base area has been greatly expanded. The remaining Japanese troops were forced to retreat to some major counties and transportation lines, barely protecting themselves.

Each exit from the airport was not damaged by the Japanese army and was stabilized.

The Japanese troops along the coast of Jiaodong were basically eliminated.

From then on, the front departure airport in the Jiaodong base area was like a sharp sword hanging over Xiaoli's head, a threatening sword that could use aviation forces to launch air strikes on the Lili homeland at any time.

And not only the Chinese army can use this sword, but allied countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union can also use this sword. Maybe they lose on their own battlefield and are severely beaten by the Japanese invaders. If they want to regain their position, they can use the Jiaodong base area at any time. Before exiting the airport, we bombed the local area fiercely to get revenge.

What I can do in my small life is to be vigilant at all times in the future and strengthen the air defense forces in various parts of the country.

War is in the service of politics.

This battle showed the strength and bloody spirit of the Chinese army.

Since then, which other country and military in the world war dares to speak casually and belittle and despise the Chinese military?

As for the Japanese army, Okamura is still lying in the hospital.

The only West Route army that the Japs escaped this time, Tanaka and his entourage, after successfully preserving their troops and successfully escaping back, they naturally had to find someone to take the blame.

After much deliberation, who should take the blame?

Naturally, the Japanese secret service in China has a long history.

Anyway, this old boy won’t take the blame once or twice.

Intelligence plays a decisive role in military warfare. If it fails, it can be relied on intelligence anyway.

Moreover, Dofeiyuan's secret service did a very poor job in collecting intelligence in the Jiaodong area.

The old Japanese was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He wished he could lie down next to Commander-in-Chief Okamura in the hospital and complain to each other as brothers in distress.

For this war, he had confidently sent out many elite spies to investigate the situation of the Eighth Route Army in Jiaodong. Although he found many reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army in other places, the Eighth Route Army's most elite armored units and heavy self-propelled howitzer units had never been deployed on various traffic lines and News of blockade crossing.

Moreover, before the war, he also built some large-scale wireless signal monitoring equipment in Laiyang, Pingdu, Zhaoyuan, Qingdao, Haiyang, and Weiyuan in Jiaodong.

As a result of the investigation, it was found that apart from the original Eighth Route Army radio signal, no additional telecommunications signals appeared.

With so many troops showing up, how could there be no radio activity at all?

So we came to the conclusion: Although the Eighth Route Army increased its troops, they were just ordinary troops. Large-scale mechanized troops and armored troops did not appear, so they could attack boldly with confidence.

Okamura is also confused. Although the old guy with the characteristics of a gambler attaches great importance to his first battle as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, his usual character is also extremely cautious and thoughtful.

But this risk comes with benefits.

If this first battle is fought successfully, directly destroying the Eighth Route Army's Jiaodong base and destroying the Eighth Route Army's airstrikes on the mainland, it will calm the mood of the domestic people internally and frighten the three armed forces externally, thus demonstrating his talents as the commander-in-chief.

The benefits are exciting!

In the end, he just asked one more question out of caution: "Are you sure the information is accurate?"

Madoka Doi was silent for a moment, and finally replied seriously: "Hi! Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I am sure that the information is correct!"

"吆西!"

At this point, although there are still doubts and worries in the heart, the general headquarters' orders are resolute, and the panic of the domestic people who have been attacked by local air strikes urgently needs to be calmed.

After all, Okamura couldn't care so much anymore, and finally issued the order to march in three directions and start the war.

As a result, major intelligence errors occurred.

When Okacun's three-pronged army rushed into Haiyang, they discovered that this was a trap like a dragnet set by the Eighth Route Army.

A large number of heavy artillery troops of the Eighth Route Army, highly mobile and elite, have already been waiting in the Jiaodong area, waiting for the Japanese to come and die.

Doi Yuan was also completely confused. Even committing suicide by caesarean section was not enough to explain the despair and confusion in his heart at this moment.

The old devil couldn't figure out the reason even if he tried hard.

Is it possible that the Eighth Route Army can really be like heavenly soldiers and generals, and a main force of this size appears out of thin air in the Jiaodong area?

In the end, he thought that the Eighth Route Army had developed some high-tech communication means!

In fact, it was just the Jiaodong Military Region that put the seized wired communication equipment and telephone lines into tunnels and laid an underground communication network of hundreds of kilometers.

After each unit arrived at the combat area, with the assistance of the Haiyang Model Engineer Corps, they used underground communication centers to direct the operations.

The purpose was to achieve absolute concealment and avoid detection by the Japanese army through radio equipment.

Such a traditional and old-fashioned communication method made the Japanese army's more advanced radio monitoring equipment completely useless.

It wasn't until the battle came to an end that the Eighth Route Army troops of different numbers appeared one after another in the Haiyang area, and the old Japanese soldier Tu Feiyuan was completely dumbfounded.

The local army, militia, and people in the base area in the Haiyang area saw so many troops with different numbers coming vividly from the newspapers to reality, and they enthusiastically held farewell parties.

No matter what, we must give good hospitality to the brother troops who came to help out this time.

And these Eighth Route Army troops did not eat and drink for free. Different teams also brought different equipment and supplies, and even prepared different dishes.

But the children in the local children's group were so happy, and all their little mouths were very busy.
