Okamura Yasuji was touted by the Japanese as a famous general, and was regarded by the Eighth Route Army generals as "the most powerful among the six commanders of the North China garrison army in history", so he is naturally not an ordinary person.

Plain first and mountainous areas are of course a basic strategy, but not an unchanging strategy. Although the Hebei-zhong mobilization achieved its goal, it continued to follow the original strategy and strengthened its troops. The Hebei-south base area, which was already prepared, was obviously not the active tactics that the old fox, Okamura Yanji, could adopt.

Shooting a man and shooting a horse first, and capturing a thief first. This old saying is not just a Chinese patent, but Okamura Yasuji is also well aware of this. Moreover, this old fox is also good at the strategy and tactics of attacking the east and west, continuing to spread rumors and pretend, as if he was going to attack southern Hebei. Just when the Eighth Route Army headquarters bets on the southern Hebei base, the Japanese army suddenly launched a large-scale mobilization of Taihang and Taiyue bases in early November, aiming the target of the attack directly at the heads of the Eighth Route Army and the heads of the heads.

Because the Japanese army's "sweeping" came straight to the heart of the base, not attracted by the small profits along the way, and the news was blocked very hard, so that the Eighth Route Army headquarters could not get the news in advance. Moreover, the Japanese army specially established a special operation team dedicated to assassination and sabotage operations - the Advance Team. The mission of the Advance Team is to "go deep behind the enemy and capture the enemy's head. If you fail to do it, you should disrupt the enemy's command center, report the direction of the enemy's main force retreat, and discover where it is before the enemy hides military supplies."

The Japanese army took strict confidentiality measures throughout the entire battle. They brought their own food and socks and were not allowed to raise fires to cook; they brought their own raincoats and bags, and were not allowed to stay in the village. As the movie says: The Japanese should enter the village quietly. Don’t shoot the gun.

This sudden sweep caused heavy losses to the Eighth Route Army headquarters. During the most difficult days, there were no news from the Eighth Route Army headquarters, from the Central Military Commission to the 129th Division, which was responsible for the escort of the Eighth Route Army headquarters. It was not until a few days later that the missing headquarters finally had news again, and there were heavy casualties.

The Eighth Route Army once again learned the power of Okamura Yasuji, in addition to the iron wall surround, this old fox had more methods and more poisonous moves.

Although the senior leaders of the Eighth Route Army had predicted the Japanese military attack and the difficult situation in North China, the fierceness and intensity of its coming were still beyond people's imagination. While Okamura Yanji was aiming at southern Hebei and the head of the Eighth Route Army, looking for a favorable attack opportunity, he strengthened the cruel destruction and massacre of the basic mountain bases.

The change is unpredictable, making it difficult for the opponent to judge its movements. There are indeed many places that are worth learning from Okamura Yasuji. His extremely cruel and complex forms and methods are not familiar to the Eighth Route Army, and the pain caused to the anti-Japanese military and civilians behind the enemy is also extremely great.

…………………

It was already December, but there was only a light snowfall. There was only a thin layer on the ground. When the wind blew, it blew the snowflakes from the roadside into the ditches and from the hills into the valley.

The weather is dry and cold, and the gray sky presents a chaotic atmosphere. When people breathe in their mouths encounters severe cold, they seem to be smoking. But at this time, people seem to feel the cold, and they run away with sweat. Even if the shoes on their feet run away, they step on the stones, thorns, and branches barefoots. They don’t know how painful it is.

The night is so ruthless and cold! The road is so difficult! The cold wind blows in front of you, tearing people's clothes and sweeping the frozen purple faces. The branches of the ancient deciduous trees are frozen crisply, and are squeaking by the wind, and sometimes branches fall to the ground.

In the distance, there were a little bit of fire in the darkness, and the fire was leaping and flashing like fierce eyes. Meng Youtian held up his telescope and looked at it for a moment, and sighed a long time. It was the Japanese blockade line, which was set on the ridge, like a large net that blocked the road out of the mountain.

The big traps and small circles, Tumen Village, Shili Village, Lianggang Village, Xiaolouzhuang and other places almost include the entire area, and are in a joint attack circle of the enemy. The people who fled from the outside just jumped from one circle and then into another circle, but still did not get out of the danger.

Since I got the news in advance, although it was only half a day, it was enough for the villagers of Tumen Village to retreat into the mountains first. Now these people have fled from the neighboring counties in the surrounding areas, with more than 400 people, including the broken soldiers, the actors of the art troupe, the cadres of the neighboring county and county organs, the wounded, the women, and the children...

Meng Youtian has always complained in his heart that the work in the neighboring county was not done well and could not serve as a barrier to Tumen Village. Now, he finally came true and had to carry this heavy burden. With the help of the earth elevator and rope ladder under the cliff, these people were temporarily saved at a critical moment, and the ones who were behind were caught up by the subsequent enemies, and they were all over.

The darker the sky and the harder the roads were to walk. Meng Youtian asked the militia in the village to light a torch. But unexpectedly, this action was opposed by a stranger.

"Quickly put out the torch, do you want to give the Japanese a target?" A guy who looked like a cadre shouted with a shady face.

Meng Youtian rolled his eyes and looked at the guy with a torn clothes and a dirty face. He was so embarrassed and without thinking. It seemed that he was scared by the Japanese. Hehe, this cadre and that cadre usually said it well, but he was scared when he hit the net.

"Don't pay attention to him. There is a cliff in front of him. If you don't ignite the fire, you will fall to death?" Meng Youtian retorted angrily.

"You, you-" The cadre was so angry that he pointed at Meng Youtian, "You are a spy from the Japanese devils, deliberately exposing your target."

"Fart." Meng Youtian's spitting star spitted on the guy's face and cursed: "Do you know who saved you? I know whose territory this is? In order to survive, I'm not sure if you squeezed out all the women and children when I went up the cliff. I saw it really. It wasn't too rare to talk about you, but you even jumped out and talked nonsense. Si Bazi, I'm watching this guy, I saw that he was scared and might be rebelling."

The fourth bald man was obedient, pulled the bolt on the gun with a thud, stabbed the guy in the back with the gun, and said, "Be honest, if you don't obey, you will be killed."

"Little comrade, don't be so angry." A man suddenly came over and persuaded in a harmonious voice: "He doesn't understand the situation, and he doesn't know the dangers of the mountain road ahead. It seems that you are locals, from Tumen Village, you are familiar with this place, so we will follow your command. Do you think it's okay?"

Meng Youtian waved his hand, not wanting to say anything else to him, and said coldly: "Start up, it will be safe temporarily after one foot of the cliff. Everyone can rest for half a night and walk slowly, and those women and children must freeze to death."
