Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

"beat!"

He did not hesitate and made a prompt decision, "Even if our first column is wiped out, the battle of Shijiazhuang must be started as soon as possible."

The reason?

Ye Feng could also guess that the Japanese troops currently fighting against them were almost all the main forces of the Kwantung Army, and they were elite veterans of the Japanese.

We must kill all of these enemy's elite forces one by one, no matter how heavy the price has to pay.

Only in this way can their underground party troops protect the entire Hebei Province more quickly.

Ye Feng said, "The battle of Shijiazhuang will affect the entire body. Not only your three columns may be crippled, but the 12th Army here has a total of 120,000 troops, and in the end, less than half of them may survive!"

Ye Feng still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, as the enemy's food shortage crisis was very serious.

If we continue to delay for a while, the enemies in Hebei region will retreat without a fight, and we can preserve our manpower and recover lost territory.

The old man said, "Ye Feng, have you ever thought about what will happen in the future if most of the Japanese troops in Hebei are gathered in the Shanhaiguan area?"

Ye Feng said, "They will defend the three northeastern provinces to the death."

"What if the enemy uses a million troops to block the Shanhaiguan Pass? Can we get in?"

"Most of China's industrial base is in the three northeastern provinces. We cannot cripple all of those places."

"Destroy the enemy's main force inside the pass. This is also for the future of Shenzhou."

Clearly, they communicated.

Perhaps everyone thinks that the progress of the war can be accelerated as soon as possible.

As a result, Ye Feng suddenly felt a lot of pressure. After all, Hebei is really difficult to fight in!

"Comrade Ye Feng, after the outbreak of the all-out war, every Chinese man must shoulder his own responsibilities in the face of the destruction of the country and the suffering of all living beings, and must be prepared to fight and die."

The old man continued:

"We have been struggling in darkness for hundreds of years."

"The country is in tatters, and the people are starving. If we continue to waste time like this, our future will be even more difficult."

"Right now, the Western continent is also starting a war. Almost half of the world is fighting."

"How can we, a backward and poor country, catch up with the other side?"

"Only by ending the war as soon as possible, developing the military and economy, and restoring people's livelihood can we narrow the gap with those capital-rich countries."

Ye Feng didn't expect that he could look so far and look at the problem from the perspective of the global situation.

Yes!

Their Chinese land has been in turmoil and war for hundreds of years, and everything in it is in tatters.

After the war, how can they catch up with those capitalist powers?

In Ye Feng’s previous life.

At that time, China was catching up rapidly and narrowing the gap in strength with those capital powers.

How many years did this process take?

It took nearly 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China to reach the level of a world-class power.

Why is this happening?

The main reason is that this total war lasted too long and the country was founded too late, which resulted in us not gaining any autonomy in the surrounding areas. For example, when it came to dealing with Japan, it was all dominated by the U.S. country. As a victorious country, we didn't get any benefits, and even the waters at our doorstep were blocked by them.

Even on the international stage, when it comes to trade issues with countries around the world, we are constantly isolated and suppressed.

It was really difficult for the top leaders of Shenzhou in the early days.

We will fight against Japan and defeat the Japanese, and then we will firmly control all the benefits after the victory in our hands.

If possible, we can also station our troops on Japanese islands and set up several layers of marine defense system.

By then, China will be the only country with a say in the entire East Asia.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng immediately said, "Okay, I will try my best to control the casualties in the Battle of Shijiazhuang to less than 20,000, and try to preserve the manpower to speed up the entry into the city in order to recover other areas of Hebei in the future."

He sighed, "These ideas have a premise, that is, there is a you in our underground party unit, a Commander Ye who can sweep the Japanese troops and is invincible."

This is true. If Ye Feng had not led the Twelve Armies, been in charge and charged into the army, it would have been a great honor.

Even if you have an army of 120,000, don't even think about attacking Hebei.

Even if you are defending the Central Plains, it will probably be very stressful, and facing an enemy army of equal strength, can you hold on?

Why did the Japanese fear the 12th Army so deeply? Whenever they faced them, the enemy rarely took the initiative to attack, but basically just defended themselves tightly?

It’s because of the existence of Ye Feng among the 12th Army.

three days later.

The 12th Army, without much rest, marched northward from Handan area and entered Shijiazhuang area.

Under the leadership of Ye Feng, they swept through Ningjin, Yuanshi, Shulu and other places.

Finally, they approached Shijiazhuang City.

After five days of continuous fighting, the 12th Army won a great victory by killing more than 40,000 enemies at the cost of 10,000 casualties.

In this battle, Ye Feng went all out, turning on the killing mode again and again, killing people in chaos.

More than 40,000 enemies were killed.

More than half of them died at the hands of Ye Feng's gun. It can be said that on average, about five thousand enemies were killed by Ye Feng's firepower alone every day.

Ye Feng's terrifying record also left the soldiers of the 12th Army dumbfounded.

Some soldiers even sighed and said:

"If our 12th Army can have a hundred people like the commander, we can directly enter Shanhaiguan within half a year."

The war is not over yet.

Ye Feng left behind an army of 40,000, led by the division commander Niu Chujun, to block the Japanese troops coming from Tianjin in the east of Shijiazhuang area.

He continued northward with 15,000 troops and coordinated with two columns to launch a battle to defend the Baoding area.

Yes.

In the Battle of Shijiazhuang, the First Column was attacked from both sides, with more than half of its troops killed or wounded, and its entire organization was completely destroyed.

All the soldiers of the First Column were reorganized into the Second Column and continued to fight.

The number of the First Column will continue to be maintained. This is a heroic column. When there is time, we will definitely recruit new soldiers and expand it again.

In order to achieve the established goals and defeat the Japanese invaders as quickly as possible, the pace of this all-out war must be accelerated.

It is also for the temporarily poor and backward China to have more time to develop its military, economy and people's livelihood in the shortest possible time in the future, to control the post-war situation, to gain greater voice in East Asia, and thus catch up with the global capital powers.

Ye Feng fights bloody battles every day, fighting desperately on the battlefield. With the help of the system scanning system, he always takes the lead in the charge, constantly fighting in Hebei area and recovering lost territory.

In half a month, thirteen cities and counties in Baoding area were successively conquered.

At this time, the 12th Army had only about 4,000 troops left, and they were temporarily stationed in the Zhuo County area.

To the north of Zhuo County is the Forbidden City that everyone longs for.
