For a time, tens of thousands of soldiers were shocked.
I haven’t fought in a few months, but I’m suffocating my brothers!
"Damn, I haven't killed a kid in a few months. I'm so stupid!"
"Damn, my gun is almost rusty!"
"My sword is so thirsty!!"
...
The soldiers sharpened their swords.
On the tower, Zhang Dabiao found Lin Zhong.
"Commander, is this inappropriate?"
"We have received an order from the headquarters to defend Shanhaiguan. Once we leave, the Japanese will invade..."
Lin Zhong smiled and said, "You know nothing. You will be out here and will not obey military orders at all."
"Now that Su State and Yingjiang are putting pressure together, I conclude that the Kwantung Army has no energy to attack Shanhaiguan for the time being."
"Our 80,000-strong army is useless here."
"Besides, now our department is suffering a major blow, and we are just watching here?"
The phone call left Zhang Dabiao speechless for a while.
At this moment, Zhou Weiguo hurried over with a submachine gun in his hand.
"commander!"
"Why are we sending troops now?"
"We should have gone a long time ago if you dare to raid like crazy. Hurry, let's set off right away!"
Lin Zhong and Zhang Dabiao were stunned.
"Zhang Dabiao, look at his political commissar, then look at you!"
"Biaozi, you have regressed again."
Zhang Dabiao: "..."
When I was following Li Yunlong, I would always be on tenterhooks every time I fought, for fear that he would make some kind of mistake.
It's better now. Since I followed Lin Zhong, my heart has long since been thrown away and it has become numb.
An hour later, Lin Zhong led his troops to set off!
...
Hebei.
Gangcun Ningci assembled nearly 100,000 troops from south to north and launched a frantic raid on various departments of the Eighth Route Army.
In less than half a month, Handan, Hengshui, Xingtai, southern Shijiazhuang, and southern Baoding fell one after another!
Hundreds of thousands of people had their families destroyed, and nearly 30,000 people were dragged by the Japanese to work as coolies.
No fewer than fifty county towns fell.
Gangcun Ningji plans to completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army and many anti-Japanese forces in Hebei within two months!
In the south of Baoding, Okamura Ningji, who had just occupied the south of Baoding, had an arrogant expression on his face.
A village in Tang County.
Neji Okamura held a village woman's neck with one hand and a long knife with the other.
With a sneer, he wiped his neck with a long knife.
Half of the people in the entire village suffered, and the other half were dragged to the construction site to build turrets.
"吆西!"
Okamura Neji held a long sword in his hand with a proud expression on his face. He liked killing and playing with these Chinese people.
He doesn't like war, he prefers to see the expressions of those dying, including fear and numbness...
The deputy on the side came over carrying two heads, also with a smile on his face.
"Hey, general, our armored forces have moved south again. It is estimated that they will completely occupy the entire Baoding in one or two days!"
Okamura Neji nodded, "吆西!"
"You are so strong!"
"Notify the entire army to move forward quickly. According to intelligence, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is in Baoding!"
"This time we must catch all the top officers of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters!"
The adjutant's face returned to a serious expression, he stood at attention and saluted, "Ha Yi!"
...
Two days later.
In a village in the north of Baoding.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
Several tile-roofed buildings served as temporary command posts.
After receiving the news that the Japanese were marching north in large numbers, the entire headquarters was on standby.
"Boss, I just received the news. I'm afraid the kid will arrive at our department in less than two days."
"Look at our situation this time..." A staff officer reported the situation to the boss with a solemn expression.
After hearing this, the boss threw the cigarette butt on the ground before he finished smoking.
"These bastards!"
"If it weren't for my large army in northwestern Shanxi that needs to guard against sneak attacks by that guy Shinozuka, I would have had a big fight with him!"
Today, there are only more than 10,000 militiamen in Hebei, and there are 20,000 troops brought by the boss from northwestern Shanxi. Faced with the heavy siege of the Japanese and the attacks of the armored troops, they have retreated again and again.
The boss immediately convened a top meeting to prepare all the chiefs of staff to come up with an idea.
Is this time a retreat or a fight?
Half an hour later, the staff members were analyzing the current situation in silence.
"Boss, news just came from the front line that Commander Li Company died."
"Boss, Mr. Lu, died."
Several chiefs of staff reported.
All the staff members beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Although Hebei has been occupied by little devils for a long time, they can still survive in the cracks. Who can bear this sudden big sweep...
"Boss, if it doesn't work, let's retreat first and fight a few times!"
"More than 20,000 horses have been temporarily lost..." a staff officer from the Hebei headquarters said.
The boss slapped the table with a bang, "Damn it!"
"Withdraw again?"
"How far have we retreated!"
"I won't retreat this time, I'll fight!"
"I won't retreat even if we kill them all!"
...
The chiefs of staff sighed. Of course they could fight, but heavy casualties would definitely be inevitable.
The boss calmed down.
There was silence for several minutes.
Fighting now is indeed not the best option, but even if there are heavy casualties, we must fight!
"Everyone, can anyone be the vanguard?"
The boss asked tentatively.
This is a life-threatening job...
Everyone continued to be silent, no one dared to say a word.
Two of the division commanders wanted to raise their hands, but hesitated and retracted their hands.
He was said to be a division commander, but now he has fought less than 3,000 people, and at most he was a brigade commander.
The boss sighed lightly. He didn't want to name them every time, but hoped that they would take the initiative to ask for battle to strengthen our army's morale!
But right now...
"Do you really think no one wants to fight..."
All division commanders and brigade commanders lowered their heads...
The mind is full but the strength is not enough.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded outside the door!
"I'm willing to fight!"
The sound passed through the wooden door and reached everyone's ears.
The division commanders and brigade commanders of the First Department of Hebei Province all frowned and turned to look in the direction of the door.
I was wondering where this kid could dare to speak so brazenly.
None of them here is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. They don't dare to say this. Now the voice sounds like a young man...
Obviously, the officers of the Hebei First Division had not met Lin Zhong, nor had they heard Lin Zhong's voice.
The boss was surprised and happy when he heard the sound, and immediately waved his hand to signal the guard to open the door.
"Quick, please come in!"
The next moment, the handsome-looking Lin Zhong strode in and saluted upright!
"Report to the boss, Shanhaiguan Lin Zhong, come and report!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the division commanders in Hebei Province stared at the young man standing at the door with wide eyes.
He is the God of War in northwest Shanxi, Lin Zhong!
