    The sound of rumbling artillery from the Daze Mountains these days made the Japanese and puppet troops besieging the mountains very strange. They wondered what the Eighth Route Army was doing in the mountains. The news was quickly reported to the supreme commander of this army, Sakamoto.  Colonel Lieutenant.

    Captain Sakamoto was also very depressed recently. First, his brother-in-law, who had high hopes for him, asked the Eighth Route Army to beat him with eggs and send them home for free.  It also lost a reinforced squadron, and then the first brigade sent to pursue the main force of the Eighth Route Army was ambushed again, losing nearly two small squadrons.  (Captain Takeda Nobuo hid the truth from Captain Sakamoto in order to save his own life.)

    This caused him to be severely reprimanded by Lieutenant General Tanaka Jiuichi, the head of the division. In addition, the Anping Township was very kind. His Excellency the division head, who has always been kind to his subordinates, even got angry with the Sakamoto regiment captain for the first time.  He scolded him bloody and ordered him to completely eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army within a month.

    There was a reason why General Tanaka made such a big fuss. At this time, the 32nd Division, 59th Division, 17th Division, and 7th Brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Shandong were supplemented by a large number of imperial troops.  The Alliance Army, with a total of more than 50,000 people, has surrounded nearly 10,000 people in the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Shandong Column in the Yishui and Liutian areas. It is about to wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong.

    However, the Jiaodong area in charge of the 21st Division was overwhelmed by an Eighth Route Army unit, and nearly a brigade was lost in a row. Of course, Tanaka, who felt humiliated in front of his colleagues, could not bear it.  The shame.

    After receiving the order, Captain Sakamoto, who had become the supreme commander of the Japanese army in the Pingdu area, immediately ordered the troops belonging to the wing to gather in the Pingdu area, and at the same time mobilized the local garrisons and puppet troops to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

    Through the report of Captain Takeda, Captain Sakamoto already knew that the number of the Eighth Route Army was not a regiment as judged before, but a small army with only more than 300 people. After receiving this news, he began to doubt the origin of the battle in Anping Town.  To be honest, based on his knowledge of the Eighth Route Army, it is absolutely impossible for these guys who are not equipped with rifles to take down a barracks with a Japanese squadron for defense.

    The Sakamoto United Team believed that someone must have betrayed the Japanese squadron stationed in Anping Town and cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to take down Anping Town. The biggest suspects were those puppet troops who were almost unscathed.  The location is the Japanese Gendarmerie in Pingdu County.

    Hearing that Captain Sakamoto was going to meet him in the gendarmerie, Gao Yuan knew that the fact that he helped the Eighth Route Army to fight Anping had been leaked.  But at this time he was surrounded by several Japanese soldiers, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

    Gao Gao is no stranger to the gendarmerie, he has sent many people who opposed him to it before, and he is too familiar with the methods of the Japanese military police, which can really squeeze out the bone marrow from you.  Captain Sakamoto asked, Gao Yuan, who had already been counseled, recruited himself.

    He explained in detail how the Eighth Route Army attacked his troops and how they attacked the Anping Town barracks, even leaving behind the fact that Li Hui asked him to help rob the traitors.  In addition, he also told Sakamoto that this Eighth Route Army unit was equipped with a large number of submachine guns and machine guns.

    The Japanese will never soften their hearts when it comes to a dog who betrayed them, even if the dog had helped him hunt countless prey, Gao Yuan was immediately beheaded by Captain Sakamoto with a command knife.

    Later, Captain Sakamoto ordered the Japanese army to speed up the search for this small Eighth Route Army unit. He believed that this small unit carrying a large number of submachine guns and machine guns must be responsible for such an important task, and there might even be a big figure of the Eighth Route Army hidden in it.

    Under the order of Sakamoto, the Japanese army carried out intensive raids on the villages around Pingdu. Although the Japanese army did not find any traces of the Eighth Route Army in these villages, they did not spare the local people, and more than a dozen villages were razed to the ground.  , the people in the village died tragically under the bayonets of the Japanese army. No man's land quickly appeared around Pingdu, especially in the northern area of ??Pingdu where Zhaojiaao was located.  a living person.

    Under the "hard work" of the Japanese army, a traitor landlord finally learned that the small unit of the Eighth Route Army had entered the Daze Mountains.

    Captain Sakamoto immediately ordered all the Japanese and puppet troops in the Pingdu area to march towards the Daze Mountains.  Because the Daze Mountain Range stretches for dozens of miles, it is too vast. Even if Captain Sakamoto dispatched troops from the Imperial Association Army from several nearby counties, they still could not completely encircle the Daze Mountain Range, so they could only block a few roads entering the mountain.  the way.

    In order to be able to completely wipe out this Eighth Route Army unit, Captain Sakamoto did not immediately send troops to attack, but was waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops.  and also toThe head of the division issued a request, hoping that he would send a plane to conduct reconnaissance in the mountains.

    The reconnaissance planes of the Japanese army really gained something. They quickly found the location of several villages in the mountainous area and judged the activity area of ??the third battalion.

    Unexpectedly, when Captain Sakamoto waited patiently for the troops to arrive, there were bursts of artillery fire in the mountains.

    "Your Excellency, Captain, according to the information from the Army Air Corps, they have discovered the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army in the Daze Mountains in the past few days. According to the observations of the pilots, the Eighth Route Army is using mortars, and the number is not very large. There are about ten  A few doors." The chief of staff of the wing performed his duties and reported to the wing leader Sakamoto.

    "These Chinese people are provocative, and they are nakedly demonstrating against our Imperial Japanese Army." Apart from this explanation, Captain Sakamoto couldn't think of other reasons. This was actually a misunderstanding, because shells were very precious at that time and lacked metal.  When the Japanese army trained artillery, they did not conduct too much live ammunition training. Although Captain Sakamoto's troops thought of it, Li Hui was using tons of artillery shells to train artillery.

    Li Hui's arrogance finally aroused the anger of Captain Sakamoto.  He decided not to wait for the arrival of the last two squadrons, and was ready to attack immediately.

    In the spacious military tent, 6 captains of the Japanese Army and 9 commanders of the Imperial Association Army sat on both sides of the long conference table, and all turned their heads to look at Captain Sakamoto standing at the head of the table.

    Captain Sakamoto stood his saber on the ground, leaned on the saber with both hands, and said in a loud voice: "Masters, you have also heard the sound of cannons these days. These are the Eight Routes in the mountains who are provoking us. For this army,  I believe you also understand that the recent defeats of the first team are all thanks to them."

    Speaking of this, Nobuo Takeda, the captain of the First Battalion, stood up suddenly, bowed deeply to Captain Sakamoto and several other captains, and apologized.

    Captain Sakamoto stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down: "Mr. Takeda, you have to be ashamed. I hope that you and the first brigade can make amends for this battle."

    "Hi!" Captain Takeda bowed again.

    The captain of the Sakamoto United continued: "This Chinese army is now openly humiliating us in this way. This is a provocation to the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire. We will definitely make them pay for this. Now I order you to report to us immediately.  They launched an attack, completely wiped them out, chopped off the heads of all the Chinese people in the mountains, and stuck them on bayonets, and let all the Chinese people know that there is no good end for daring to fight against the Imperial Japanese Army."

    Captain Sakamoto was really angry. Although Japanese soldiers often killed Chinese civilians, it was the soldiers' personal actions. Although the Japanese officers were acquiescing to this, they still had to pretend to be gentlemen, like today  , Sakamoto was the first to directly order the killing of civilians as the captain of the regiment. It can be seen that he has been angered by the Eighth Route Army.

    "Hi!" All the officers stood up and said.

    When Captain Sakamoto waved his hand, the chief of staff of the wing immediately stepped forward to arrange combat deployment.

    The 21st Division is a Division A division, and the Sakamoto Wing is also a strengthened infantry wing. The wing consists of 4 infantry brigades, an artillery squadron, a transport squadron, and a communication squadron.  A cavalry squadron and a small field hospital, each troop brigade has 4 non-infantry squadrons, with a total of 1,100 soldiers, the artillery squadron consists of 122 people, the transport squadron has 150 people, and the wing has nearly 5,000 people. Now the first brigade  One squadron is missing, and several other squadrons are also damaged in battle. They are not at full strength, and there are still two squadrons in the third brigade.  In the two squadrons that were not fully organized, Captain Sakamoto could command more than 4,500 Japanese soldiers.

    As for the Imperial Association Army, although there are nine regiments, the actual number is only a little more than the Japanese Army, with more than 5,000 people.

    According to the combat plan formulated by Captain Sakamoto and the Chief of Staff, the nearly 10,000 troops will be used in a dispersed manner. Half of the troops will be responsible for offense, and half of the troops will establish defensive positions on the five main roads into the mountains and continue to block the mountains.

    The attacking troops were also divided into 5 groups, each of which consisted of 2 Japanese squadrons and a regiment of the Royal Association Army, with a population of about 1,000.

    The ratio of the Japanese army to the Imperial Association Army is basically one to one. From this arrangement, it can be seen that Captain Sakamoto no longer trusts the Imperial Association Army.  In the past, the Imperial Association Army of these nine regiments must have been used as the vanguard of cannon fodder, used to explore the way and attract the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

    Captain Sakamoto was also very distressed when he did this. Less cannon fodder means more casualties for Japanese soldiers, but there is no way to do it. After all, after the emergence of the plateau, no one can guarantee whether there is still the Eighth Route Army in the Imperial Association Army  people.

    However, such an arrangement made the heads of the Imperial Association very happy. They believed that although the trust of the little devils was very important, the service of themselves and their subordinates was more important. Besides, when did these little devils really trust them.

    After arranging the combat deployment, all the officers took their orders and went back to gather the troops to prepare to enter the mountain tomorrow.

    The battle is about to begin.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)They are very happy. They think that although the trust of the little devils is very important, the service of themselves and their subordinates is more important. Besides, when did these little devils really trust them.
