Okamura Neiji is also trying to reverse this situation, but now that they are passive, it will be difficult to reverse it.

The little devils are in a dilemma. All their mobile forces have been invested in Shandong, and the progress is going smoothly now.

If you want to solve the problem in southern Hebei, you can only transfer this force from Shandong into southern Hebei.

But in this way, all the kid's action plans in Shandong were ruined.

And the most disgusting thing for Gangcun Ningji is that even if we withdraw our troops from Shandong and arrive in southern Hebei, it will take at least a few days to do so.

After all, the mobilization of large troops is not that easy.

Okamura Neiji frowned and said, "Even if we dispatch troops from Shandong now, how long will it take at least?"

Kasahara Yukio quickly replied: "Assemble the troops, even if we take a short rest and head to southern Hebei immediately, it will still take some time on the way."

"It will take seven to ten days at the earliest to reach the southern Hebei region."

Gangcun Neiji frowned and said: "However, during this time period, these Tuba Road should be enough to capture several county towns. It will be easy to restore their base."

"Hai~!"

Kasahara Yukio responded helplessly.

Okamura Neiji said: "Then there is no need to dispatch troops for the time being. Let Shandong's troops speed up as much as possible and strive to annihilate as many Tubal Roads in Shandong as possible. Even if they cannot eradicate them, at least they must be severely damaged and let them survive in a short time.

Only if it can no longer pose a threat to us."

"Hai!"

Kasahara Yukio responded respectfully and said: "In this situation, I'm afraid this is the only way we can do it for the time being."

"But what should we do here in Jinan?"

Okamura Neiji said with a serious face: "Just do whatever you have to do."

"Try to mobilize some troops from other areas to contain them as much as possible and don't let them get too arrogant."

Kasahara Yukio asked: "Then do we still need to counterattack Linmingguan Town?"

"A troop has already set off from HD. It is estimated that it will soon arrive at Linming Pass."

Gangcun Ningji said quickly: "Let them withdraw to HD City immediately. The enemy force is strong. They captured Linming Pass, probably to lure us deliberately."

"Now our army is short of strength. No matter how much we go out, we are no match for them. Instead of dying in vain, it is better to retreat to the big cities everywhere."

Kasahara Yukio quickly reminded: "Your Majesty Commander, in this way, the Ping-Han Railway will be completely cut off, which is very detrimental to the imperial army."

Okamura Neiji said helplessly: "Now that the matter has reached this point, even if the Pinghan-Hankou Railway is interrupted for a period of time, it won't be a big deal."

"And we also want to see how capable they are and how long they can cut off the Ping-Han Railway."

"In short, we still focus on defense and preserve our strength as much as possible."

"We can also take advantage of this time to continue to gather troops. As long as we gather enough troops, the rest of the things will be easy to handle."

Kasahara Yukio also had a look of grief and anger, and gritted his teeth and cursed: "Baga, I didn't expect that our imperial army would be forced to do this by a group of Tuballu. It is really unreasonable."

Okamura Neiji reached out and patted his shoulder, and said helplessly: "Patience for now! We will avenge this sooner or later."

However, Neiji Okamura himself was a little unsure whether he could avenge this with his own hands.

Because of the previous disastrous defeats, he had lost trust in the army.

But they still face a problem, that is, North China is now in a mess and no one is willing to take over.

Moreover, the old devils in the military department are not sure that someone else will be better than Gangcun Ningji if they take over.

That's why Neiji Okamura was not directly dismissed from his post and was able to temporarily keep this position.

But he has only kept this position temporarily. Who knows how long he can sit in this position?

After all, things are unpredictable, and Okamura Neiji is ready to leave at any time.

However, this old devil will still insist on standing on the last duty before leaving. He still has to do what he has to do.

…

Gangcun Neiji knew how powerful Li Yunlong was, and was afraid that something might happen to the Japanese who were reinforcing Linming Pass, so he ordered them to temporarily advance to Linming Pass.

But by the time the order was conveyed to the front line, it was already too late.

The little Japanese reinforcements have already come into conflict with Zhang Dabiao's battalion.

Obviously, these little devils don't know how powerful the Eighth Route Army is, and they still want to take back Linming Pass.

Li Yunlong learned that there were only more than a thousand Japanese reinforcements, and immediately ordered the cavalry battalion and armored brigade to outflank the enemy from the left and right wings.

The first battalion contained the little devils from the front and prepared to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Li Yunlong came to a forward position and observed the situation in the distance.

At this time, the little devils received the order to retreat, and a large number of little devils began to retreat in a panic.

Li Yunlong immediately ordered: "Damn it, the stupid little devil wants to escape."

"Inform the artillery troops to use all long-range artillery to bombard the retreating Japanese."

"Order a battalion and prepare to pursue."

"yes!"

A soldier responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

Soon there was a rumble of artillery fire from the artillery position.

The shells flew towards the little devil with a harsh whistling sound.

At the same time, Zhang Dabiao also shouted an order: "Order the mortar company to concentrate all the firepower on me and give me a bloody blast, so that these stupid little devils can also see how powerful we are."

Following Zhang Dabiao's order, the mortar company also concentrated its firepower and began to violently bombard the retreating Japs.

For a while, there was constant sound of gunfire and a continuous sound of explosions.

Those who were bombed were thrown off their backs, so they continued to retreat at a faster speed.

At this time, the cavalry units and armored brigade of the Eighth Route Army suddenly came out from both wings and launched an attack on the little Japanese.

The Japanese soldiers who were retreating saw the Eighth Route Army's strength and were instantly defeated, fleeing in embarrassment.

After Zhang Dabiao saw this situation, he shouted excitedly: "Brothers, come with me!"

"Kill~!"

The loud shouts of killing rang out, and the heroic Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed out one after another, roaring loudly and running toward the little Japanese.

At this point, this little devil was completely defeated.

The heroic Eighth Route Army soldiers took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill the little Japanese, leaving corpses strewn across the field and rivers of blood.

Li Yunlong saw this scene from a distance and said with a smile: "Well done, tell them not to chase too far. If you chase too far, you will catch HD."

"yes!"

A soldier responded and turned around to convey the order.

At this time Xing Zhiguo came over.
