In addition, in this operation, not only the little devils are taking action, but also the puppet troops.

Including these puppet troops, the total force that Okamura Neji can mobilize has reached more than 300,000 people.

This is already the maximum number of people that Okamura Neji can mobilize, excluding the basic defenders in each city.

He can only mobilize these 300,000 people. If he continues to mobilize soldiers from various places, it will affect the security of various places.

There is not only one People's Army in North China, but also many Eighth Route Army and local troops. If Okamura Neji continues to draw garrison troops from some cities.

Then the safety of these cities is not guaranteed, and they may be in fierce battle with the People's Army.

The Eighth Route Army, Shanxi-Sui Army and various local troops behind them were stealing their butts to attack those strongholds and so on.

This is what Okamura Neiji is worried about, so in order to prevent this from happening, he allows himself to fight the People's Army wholeheartedly.

Okamura Neiji temporarily shrunk his territory and concentrated the limited defenders in more important strongholds, leaving out those unimportant places.

However, Okamura Neiji gave up directly. He thought that it would not be too late to take back those territories after the People's Army was eliminated this time.

To put it simply, their future development depends on this battle. If they lose this battle with the People's Army.

Then even if they have a large territory, they will be snatched away by the People's Army. On the other hand, if they win, the temporarily lost territory can be regained in the shortest time.

On the other side, inside the Eighth Route Army, they were discussing about Okamura Neji's action.

"According to the latest news, Okamura Neji has made a big move. He has brought back all the troops from outside. Preliminary estimates are that there are at least 200,000 people."

"If nothing else happens, they should have a showdown with the People's Army. According to our investigation, the People's Army does not know about it at the moment."

"So far, the People's Army has deployed two brigades of troops at the border, and there are also a large number of artillery, all of which have been deployed there by the People's Army."

"The number of people is close to 20,000, and the total strength of the People's Army is initially estimated to be nearly 200,000. This battle should be the largest on the battlefield in North China."

"Ningji Okamura is really generous. In order to deal with the People's Army, more than 200,000 people were dispatched. I don't know if the People's Army can hold it this time."

"I'm not worried about the combat effectiveness of the People's Army. I'm just afraid that they will be caught off guard by the Japs. This will be very detrimental to the People's Army."

"So, what do you think about this matter? Should we fight or sit back and watch the fight?"

............

As the leader finished speaking, the people below began to discuss, and soon they came up with a plan.

"Chief, I think we should inform the People's Army. After all, the People's Army is also an anti-Japanese force."

"If the People's Army suffers heavy losses in this battle, then the only losses will be the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces, at least at this stage."

"The People's Army cannot allow accidents, so I suggest that we not just sit idly by and help, if appropriate. This time the opponent of the People's Army is Neji Okamura."

"This old boy is not ordinary. Su Yu has never dealt with Okamura Neji. I'm afraid he will suffer a loss by then."

At this time, another person continued to speak.

"That's right, Chief, this is what I think. No matter what happens in the future, the People's Army will not become our opponent in the end."

"But at this stage we still need to unite the front. I suggest sending troops to support this time. The Japs are the enemy of all of us, so these more than 200,000 Japs should not be faced by the People's Army alone."

A few simple words directly showed the attitude of the Eighth Route Army. They were not as petty as the bald heads of the Central Army.

If this was a bald man, let alone support, it would be a good thing if it didn't add insult to injury, but the Eighth Route Army was different.

In their opinion, the biggest problem at this stage is how to drive the little Japanese out of China so that the little Japanese can stay in China for one more day.

Then only the common people will suffer, so the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the little devils first, and we will consider the rest later.

After hearing these people's suggestions, the chief nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, then send someone to notify Su Yu. At the same time, assemble the troops and tell the people below to be ready for battle at any time."

"Roger it! Chief."

On such a major event, the Eighth Route Army still clearly understands the importance of the matter. The relationship with the People's Army was indeed somewhat alienated before.

That was all because they saw the ambitions of the People's Army and felt that it would definitely become their formidable enemy in the future, which is why what happened next.
