"Alright, it's done. Next, we'll slowly clean up these small fish and prawns!”
This siege only took about a day to end.
This was partly because the Japanese did not understand the Xia Army well, and partly because their tactics were not appropriate. In any case, a combination of factors had contributed to their success this time.
However, the subsequent clean-up continued for two days. The Japanese were hiding like rats. Even if they searched every house, they would miss a lot.
However, these were all details. On the big picture, the southern expedition army had finally opened up the passage to the Pingjin area. The Japanese were finally nervous!
"Bagaya Deer! That fool, Shimizu Yoshishige, could not last more than a few days with so many troops. He was simply an idiot! Trash!"
"Sir, the situation is very critical! Right now, Beiping only has one infantry division. If the enemy continues to attack, we won't be able to hold on!”
"Where is the Kwantung Army?" asked Shan Sanyuan.”
"I was still in Jinzhou this morning. I expect to pass Shanhaiguan tomorrow.”
"Yuxi! If that's the case, there should still be time. I don't believe that the enemy will not suffer any losses. They will not continue to fight without resting!”
Aoka Naoto Saburo said," But even so, when the Kwantung Army arrives, I'm afraid that the enemy will also arrive. At that time, our preparations might not be enough!”
"How are our preparations?"
"Right now, only the 109th division has been transferred back to defend. They are currently setting up fortifications on the periphery.
There were still over 400 planes in Nanyuan Airport, but based on the current situation, they were no match for the enemy's planes!
There were also some Imperial Association soldiers, about a few thousand people, but they probably couldn't count on them.”
Shan Sanyuan was also feeling helpless. The current situation was too terrible.
If it was in the past, they would have more than enough soldiers to deal with an enemy that was three to five times their number.
But now, they couldn't. Their opponents were different.
If they were dealing with peasant armies in the past, then they were now dealing with industrial elite troops. The difficulty was completely different!
"Commander, I have a suggestion. Sir, you must move the headquarters to Tianjin before the battle breaks out. Otherwise, once the battle breaks out, I'm afraid we won't have more strength to protect the headquarters!”
Shan Sanyuan's expression changed slightly. Although this was a good idea, what if he was accused of being a deserter?
"Sir, don't worry. Just say that we're going there to check the defense situation. When the battle begins, we'll set up the headquarters there!”
"You're right, Yuxi. I can't stay here and cause trouble for the warriors. Only when I leave this place can you all go all out!”
Shan Sanyuan was very happy with this excuse. He could finally stay away from the front line and danger.
This was probably the reason why the higher one's position was, the less courage one would have. At their level, they were not as radical and fanatical as ordinary soldiers!
Sugiyama Sanyuan did what he said. That afternoon, he led most of the staff from the headquarters and left Beiping. Only Saburo Aoka, the chief of staff, was left here to coordinate and command.
Not long after the war in the north ended, the news of victory spread throughout the country.
"Breaking news, breaking news! The Japanese have suffered heavy casualties in the war in the north.”
"The Xia Family Army fought against the Japanese in Zhang Jiakou and wiped out a division of the enemy. Their target is Ping Jin!”
"Quickly come and take a look. It's a freshly published newspaper. It's the biggest victory in the war of resistance so far. There's hope for us to drive the Japanese out of China!”
"Give me one!"
"I want two!"
"Good job, Commander Xia is indeed a real man!”
"Whoa, a division of more than 20,000 people, plus another division, the Japanese are finished!”
"Break into Beiping and recover North China!"
"Defeat the Japanese and chase them out of China!”
……
The bald man was both happy and helpless about this situation.
Xia Zilong was able to wipe out so many Japanese soldiers, severely injure the Japanese's North China Front Army, and recover their land. He also indirectly supported their Xuzhou Battle.
However, he was indifferent to his high position and high salary. He looked like he was an independent system. This made him feel a huge threat!
"Mr Bu Lei, this warlord has rejected our good intentions again. It seems that unless I give up my position to him, he will not accept our recruitment!”
"Sir, didn't they agree to sell us weapons and equipment?”
"Yes, they agreed! They are even willing to sell us tanks and planes, which we are in urgent need of.”
"Then let's buy some first and rearm the army. At that time, no matter what, we will at least have the strength to resist!”
"Sigh, that's the only way now!" The bald man sighed.”
"You don't have to worry too much. This isn't entirely a bad thing for us.”
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"If the other party can turn North China upside down, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Japanese. Then, we will be under very little pressure in the Central Plains, and we may even take the opportunity to recover part of our territory.
"At that time, they will become the main target of the Japanese. We can slowly recover our strength. When they are both injured, we will take back the capital!”
The bald man nodded. Thinking about it, that was indeed the case!
Based on Xia Zilong's speed, the Japanese had probably already targeted him and were probably preparing to mobilize a large number of troops to besiege him.
It would be great if that was the case. The pressure they faced in the Central Plains and the South would be much less.
At that time, he could buy a large number of military supplies from him and rearm his troops. He would still be the alliance leader of the eight hundred dukes!
At this moment, Boss Dai walked in from outside and brought a piece of good and bad news.
"Principal, we just received news that Gui Sui has been recaptured by Xia Zilong's army. According to the situation there, the Japanese would not be able to hold on for long. At that time, Suiyuan would be taken into the other party's arms!”
"Damn it, this warlord has a big appetite. He actually dares to fight on both the east and west sides at the same time!”
"The other party's appetite is indeed not small, but their strength cannot be underestimated." According to our information, the enemy has a tank division, an air division, and an infantry division.
The Japanese had suffered too many losses previously, and they had not been able to replenish their forces in a short period of time. They had taken advantage of the loophole!”
The bald man nodded. They were too careless. If they had known earlier, they would have attacked Suiyuan and taken it back.
