Chapter 1919: Marching North (Thanks to User iLengku for the Reward!)

The Battle of Xuzhou has already begun, and the war situation is getting more and more intense.

Under such circumstances, Ye Tian forced more than 100,000 Japanese and puppet coalition forces to stay in this deep mountain forest.

In order to better contribute to the great cause of the War of Resistance, Ye Tian also created an illusion in the outer area of ​​​​the southwest of Xuzhou.

The Heroic National Salvation Army!

Except for the unscrupulous cannon, the other weapons and equipment of this anti-Japanese armed force are all Japanese-style.

But it is such an anti-Japanese armed force that has repeatedly killed people since it came out of nowhere.

Naturally, the military and people's hearts of China have been strongly encouraged again and again.

On the other hand, the Japanese and puppet coalition forces were angry and ashamed.

There was no way. In order to fight the Battle of Xuzhou well, under the coordination of the Japanese North China Front Army Command and the Central China Front Army Command, there were more than 100,000 Japanese and puppet coalition forces, which repeatedly searched closely in the southwest of Xuzhou in order to find the Heroic National Salvation Army and annihilate it.

In this way, Ye Tian himself successfully involved more than 200,000 Japanese and puppet coalition forces.

It must be said that these 200,000 Japanese and puppet coalition forces were recently fully replenished.

What does it mean?

It's very simple. In the previous battles, Ye Tian killed and wounded many Japanese and puppet coalition forces.

In this way, realizing the strong combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the Heroic National Salvation Army, whether in the deep mountains and old forests or in the large area southwest of Xuzhou, the Japanese and puppet coalition forces had to replenish their establishment as soon as possible.

Otherwise, they had no confidence to confront the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the Heroic National Salvation Army head-on.

Also, facing these two Japanese and puppet coalition forces with a strength of more than 100,000, both the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the Heroic National Salvation Army were not afraid at all.

Every time they appeared, the Heroic National Salvation Army and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army could easily kill and wound many devils and traitors.

The most important thing is that after each sneak attack, these two extremely powerful anti-Japanese armed forces were able to retreat unscathed.

Even, because many booby traps were buried near the positions and at the head of the Jingguan in advance, the explosion of these booby traps could achieve brilliant secondary results.

On the other hand, the Japanese and puppet coalition forces were beaten to a pulp every time, but they had no time and space to retaliate.

Whether it was the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army or the Heroic National Salvation Army, the Japanese and puppet coalition forces could not catch their shadows.

In this case, how could the Japanese and puppet coalition forces retaliate against them?

Without exaggeration or slander, this situation should be very satisfactory to Ye Tian.

In fact, this situation is definitely a very good capital for pretending.

However, in order to make better contributions to the great cause of the War of Resistance, Ye Tian is still not satisfied with these.

As a time traveler, Ye Tian is very worried about one thing.

Ye Tian is worried that his time travel will change history.

In this case, because he is not familiar with the general trend of history, he no longer has the advantage of being familiar with the history of the War of Resistance.

Knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Considering these, Ye Tian thought about launching another big move.

After all, in Ye Tian's impression, in the real Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Taierzhuang was the first victory on the front battlefield in the history of China's War of Resistance.

This victory has extremely great historical significance.

After realizing that the devil's troops were not invincible, the military and civilian morale of China were greatly encouraged.

Naturally, waves of anti-Japanese war enthusiasm were set off in various places across the country.

Young and strong men of appropriate age flocked to various recruitment points, thinking of joining the army and then fighting the national crisis together.

Even if they died a hundred times, they would not regret it!

The elderly, women, and children were also doing various auxiliary work in various rear areas to the best of their ability.

Not afraid of hardship, not afraid of fatigue!

In addition, in Ye Tian's impression, there was another most important reason why the Battle of Taierzhuang in the Battle of Xuzhou was able to achieve a great victory.

Under the order of the Supreme Command of China, General Li Zongren from Guangxi took over the seal of commanding the Battle of Xuzhou.

Under the advice of generals such as Bai Chongxi, who was called the Little Zhuge, General Li Zongren made an extremely wise decision with a wave of his hand.

The area around Xuzhou belongs to the Fifth War Zone.

After careful consideration, General Li Zongren divided the entire Fifth War Zone into four guerrilla zones.

He solemnly ordered each guerrilla zone to carry out extensive guerrilla warfare during the Battle of Xuzhou.

Only by doing so can the Japanese troops be forced and consumed more effectively.

In this way, on each front battlefield, these local main forces from various places can kill and wound as many Japanese as possible when the main forces have to rest because of too much damage.

Of course, the traitorous forces who are with the Japanese and repeatedly help the evil are also the focus of the Fifth War Zone.

The rhythm was driven by the Fifth War Zone, and the Chinese Supreme Command also made relevant arrangements.

From the perspective of China's overall strategic deployment, the Chinese Supreme Command ordered that in addition to the Fifth War Zone, other war zones should also carry out extensive guerrilla warfare to support the Battle of Xuzhou.

Yes, since the Japanese troops were forced and consumed in other places, it was naturally inconvenient for them to gather in large numbers in the Xuzhou area.

In a word, this arrangement and deployment actually came from the theory of protracted war by General Jiang Baili, the first military god of China.

Originally, the island country wanted to follow the routine of the Yuan Dynasty destroying the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty destroying the Ming Dynasty, and planned to occupy China from north to south.

Under the strong advice of General Jiang Baili and others, the Chinese Supreme Command knew that the Battle of Songhu would be a disastrous defeat, but still sent nearly one million elite troops.

If this is not the main force, what is it?

As a result, although nearly one million main forces suffered heavy losses and the small amount of heavy weapons before the war were almost lost, the island country was still severely forced.

There was no way, the island country had to send a large number of Japanese troops to the Songhu area.

The situation has developed to the present. In order to continue to imitate the routine of the Yuan Dynasty destroying the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty destroying the Ming Dynasty, the island country is thinking about connecting the Central China and North China.

At that time, after stabilizing the situation in this large area, the army will go straight to Wuhan.

Then, try to occupy the whole of China.

If the Japanese troops do not split up, according to their advanced weapons and equipment, the Japanese's excellent military literacy and other advantages, China really cannot resist.

Since hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops have been divided, it is natural that General Jiang Baili's theory of protracted war has time and space to be realized.

All parts of China have become battlefields. They are not limited to the gains and losses of a city or a place, but accumulate small victories into big ones. During the frontal war, guerrilla warfare was widely carried out, so that the Japanese troops always felt stretched to deal with it.

Considering these reasons, Ye Tian decided to go to the north of Xuzhou.

Ye Tian had a deep intention for such a plan.

For this reason, Ye Tian also gave up the plan to snipe Yanagawa Heisuke or capture him alive.

Yes, once Yanagawa Heisuke died, the new supreme commander sent by the island country to the deep mountains and old forests might change tactics.

The most important thing is that if it is not good, this new big devil may not let more than 100,000 Japanese and puppet coalition forces continue to stay in the deep mountains and old forests.

Of course, this new big devil may continue to apply to his superiors for the allocation of troops.

However, even after careful consideration, Ye Tian could not be sure how this new big devil would play.

This time when he went to the north of Xuzhou, Ye Tian thought about tricking the Japanese and puppet coalition forces again.
