Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

This immediately caused dissatisfaction among many family members, but Zeng Jiwen did not care at the time. He thought in his heart that there would always be a time when you would come to ask for help. If you could not satisfy Zeng Jiwen's appetite at that time, then Zeng Jiwen would have to watch the show.

Originally, according to Zeng Jiwen's guess, it would take another two years for the North to get anxious, but judging from the telegram sent from home, the North can't wait any longer.

In fact, Bogomolov already felt a little regretful at this time. When he met Zeng Jiwen a few years ago, Bogomolov rudely rejected Zeng Jiwen's request. Although the weapons, equipment and supplies from the North to aid the South successively entered the Central Army, with the end of the Battle of Wuhan, Bogomolov immediately doubted the North's decision.

With the support of their equipment, the South is in such a state. Do they still have the ability to tie down the Japanese army?

As the atmosphere in Northeast China became increasingly tense, the Zhanggufeng Incident a few months ago had made the entire northern region witness the madness of the Japanese army. At this time, it was necessary to find a force in the east to contain the Japanese army and prevent this group of crazy Japanese troops from doing anything else.

Then things seemed to take a turn for the better.

As the Japanese army in North China launched a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army's Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

During the Japanese army's autumn sweep, the Eighth Route Army troops in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Tainan directly made the Japanese army in the entire North China region extremely anxious and defeated the Japanese troops so badly that they could not raise their heads.

Now the news has spread throughout the East. The Japanese army in North China has suffered a great loss this time.

As soon as Bogomolov received the news that the Eighth Route Army was attacking Shijiazhuang, he sent people to search for relevant intelligence. When he saw that the troops of Zeng Jiwen, who had impressed him before, played a decisive role in this battle, he immediately realized that this matter had become very tricky.

With the end of the Battle of Shijiazhuang, neither the Eighth Route Army nor the Japanese Army in North China announced any specific details of this rare event. The Eighth Route Army only reported that they had defeated the Japanese Army's autumn sweep in North China through the Battle of Shijiazhuang, and at the same time announced the incredible results achieved in a blocking battle.

The Japanese army seemed to have reached a tacit understanding with the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese army did not issue any notice to indicate that the Japanese army in North China was currently suffering heavy losses.

However, after several days of intelligence gathering, Bogomolov finally found out the extent of the Japanese army's losses.

Not to mention how many Japanese troops are still in North China, just look at the losses suffered by the Japanese troops in North China this time. Not only was the material base in Shijiazhuang, a transit station in North China, captured by the Eighth Route Army, but the Japanese 108th Division, 110th Division, 40th Brigade of the 20th Division, and the 4th and 5th Independent Mixed Brigades were also completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, two Type A divisions were basically destroyed by the Eighth Route Army in North China. As for other troops, although Bogomolov did not collect the specific losses of the Japanese army, based on the previous judgments, the losses of the Japanese troops fighting against the Eighth Route Army were probably very heavy.

Even Zhangjiakou and Datong, which were close to the north, were captured by the Eighth Route Army, which was beyond Bogomolov's expectations.

But soon, Bogomolov realized that after this battle, the Eighth Route Army was no longer the local force huddled in the northwest region, but had become one of the top forces in the whole of China, and the combat effectiveness of its troops was not low.

Especially in North China, after this battle, the Kuomintang army may find it difficult to move forward.

After thinking about it, Bogomolov suddenly understood the task of restraining the Japanese troops in Northeast China. He was afraid that he would have to find Zeng Jiwen in the end.
