Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

"Niang Xipi."

In the mountain city, a shout was heard from the government building.

"I asked them to deliver a letter, but it was either windy or rainy. Do you still take me seriously?"

The man threw a telegram on the ground and looked at Secretary Chen with a cold gaze.

"Send a telegram to Shoushan and ask him to send people from Zhongtiao Mountain to Beiping to stop the Eighth Route Army from continuing to attack the city!"

"But...it may not be too late to go now!"

Secretary Chen was a little hesitant. There were only a few hundred Japanese garrison troops in Peiping, and the rest were all Imperial Army.

With the current combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, they might not be able to make it in time even by plane, let alone send people from Zhongtiao Mountain to go by car.

"It doesn't matter!"

The man waved his hand nonchalantly: "I got the news that the North China Front Army is retreating from the north."

"The Hebei region is now a huge cake. As long as my people can be present, the rest of the territory will be mine!"

"this......"

Secretary Chen was shocked. Doesn’t the Japanese army’s march southward mean that they will have a harder time?

Why is Baldy still thinking about going to Hebei to fight for territory with the Eighth Route Army?

"Haha, the Japanese army's march south is a foregone conclusion. All we have to do now is find a way to resist them!"

As if he saw Secretary Chen's confusion, the man smiled wisely.

"But there are opportunities in crises. We just need to use the name of the Ninth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army to fight a good war of public opinion."

"Let's change our reputation. When we launch a fundraising campaign, the people will donate enthusiastically. With the money, are we still afraid that we can't stop the Japanese army from heading south?"

"I see!"

Secretary Chen suddenly understood, but at the same time he was very confused. Based on his understanding of the bald man, he knew that the other party would never be able to think of such a method!

Suddenly Secretary Chen thought of the key point in the bald man’s words just now, the Japanese North China Front Army is going to move south!!!

"Sir, once the North China Front Army moves south, the Japanese troops in Central China will be even more difficult to deal with. We must open up the Yunnan-Burma Highway as soon as possible!"

The expeditionary force they formed the year before had suffered a defeat, and they had reached the point where they had to start all over again.

Now that the Japanese army has given up the north and focused on the south, if they don't open up the Burma Road as soon as possible, their channel for external communication will be completely lost!

"Ok!"

The man nodded, the Burma Road was indeed a problem.

"Reorganize a new expeditionary force and let Junru replace Cixiu as the commander-in-chief."

"If we keep him in Xi'an and keep flirting with the Communists, something bad will happen sooner or later!"

"Commander Wei has been through hundreds of battles and never shows mercy when it comes to beating the Japanese. He is indeed very suitable to be the commander of the expeditionary force."

Secretary Chen nodded in agreement.

Two days later, upon receiving the news, Commander Wei had to leave Xi'an and go to Chongqing.

Of course before leaving, Commander Wei still sent someone to tell the Eighth Route Army officer stationed in Xi'an that Zhongtiaoshan would send people in three groups to Hebei to stop the Eighth Route Army's attack.

On the other side, after receiving the news that the North China Front Army was moving south, Yan'an decisively ordered the Shandong Branch to lead troops north.

They stopped the North China Front Army that was trying to escape, but Okamura had anticipated this and directly ordered the 3rd Tank Division transferred from the Mongolian Army to force their way through.

Faced with the more than 3 small and medium-sized tanks of the rd Tank Division, the Shandong Branch had a very difficult time because it was too far away from the center and did not have many anti-tank weapons.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the central government sent transport planes to risk passing through the Henan area and delivered a large number of anti-tank rocket launchers to the Shandong branch.

At the same time, he also brought the order to let the infantry go and completely annihilate the 3rd Tank Division.

For the Eighth Route Army, it was simply unrealistic to rely on the Shandong Branch to stop the North China Front Army that was determined to leave.

It would be better to take advantage of their urgent desire to leave and eliminate the tank division that poses the greatest threat to China.

After receiving the order, Comrade Zong Ren, commander and political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, political commissar and acting commander of the 115th Division, and secretary of the Shandong Branch of the CPC Central Committee, decisively changed his strategy.

A large number of militias and guerrillas were sent out to destroy roads and lay anti-tank mines.

Anyway, people can walk, horses can walk, but it is difficult for vehicles to move!

This put Okamura in a difficult position, as Commander Lin's 300,000-strong army was chasing him from behind, and the tough Shandong Military Region was blocking their way in front.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably just protect the infantry and give up the armored force.

But who was Okamura? He immediately ordered the 3rd Division on the battlefield to be divided into two parts and started the massacre along both sides of the railway line.

Isn’t your Eighth Route Army an army of the common people?

Now that the people are being massacred, do you care?

I can only send troops to stop them, but then the rest of my North China Front Army will get away with it.

No matter what, hehe, I’m going to publicize it and ruin your reputation!

The insane behavior of the Okamura devils made the clan comrades who got the news extremely angry.

"asshole!"

Comrade Zongren cursed and angrily looked at the Chief of Staff: "Send a telegram to Commander Fu Pian and ask him to lead his troops to stop the 3rd Tank Division. We will be there soon."

"What about the remaining North China Front Army?"

The Chief of Staff said unwillingly, "I can't bear to let them go just like that!"

"No way, the people are the most important!"

Comrade Zongren said sternly, "But they can forget about it and just leave comfortably like this."

"Order local comrades to destroy the railways and plant bullet mines on every passable road."

"This is a good idea!"

The chief of staff clapped his hands happily and said, "We have as many bullet mines as we want. It's enough to lay minefields of several thousand meters on every road. It will scare the Japanese to death."

...........

Next to Bayan Obo, Bailingmiao Town.

"These are the mining tools you left behind. I've also taken back the tools you brought to Peking!"

Zhao Tianyang pointed at the mining tools on the ground and preached to Saburo Nishino in front of him.

"And I brought back your colleagues who stayed in Peking. I wonder if the uranium mine in Bailingmiao can be mined again?"

"Yes, yes."

Before Saburo Nishino could say anything, Nishina Kimura next to him nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, he pulled Nishino Saburo, signaling him to agree quickly and not let Zhao Tianyang get angry and implicate himself.

"Hu~~"

Nishino Saburo took a deep breath and said calmly: "I can help you mine uranium ore, but you have to promise me that you will let us go home after the war!"

"Easy to say!"

Zhao Tianyang said generously: "As long as we drive away the invaders, you will have no value. I will just let you go home. I agree!"

"I hope you keep your word!"

Saburo Nishino glanced at Zhao Tianyang, then walked to the mining tools and started checking them.

"Send a group of reliable security personnel over here!"

Seeing that Nishino Saburo was getting into work mode, Zhao Tianyang instructed Li Yuncai beside him: "I want to build a yellow cake factory in Bailingmiao, Zhangjiakou, and refine uranium ore on site!"

"it is good!"

Li Yuncai nodded: "I will ask Niu Erli to transfer some security personnel from Bayan Obo."

"We will select some retired soldiers from the army later to form a special security team for the Yellow Cake Factory!"
