    Jinan, the headquarters of the Twelfth Army of Japan. The spacious and bright combat hall was busy. The Japanese army's signal troops kept coming in and out, and handed over the latest battle reports sent by various ministries to the combat staff in the hall. According to the news in the battle reports, the staff  , constantly changing the situation of the enemy and the enemy on the combat map and sand table.

    Lieutenant General Dohashi Hisaichi, Commander of the Twelfth Army, and Major General Etsujiro Kono, Chief of Staff, stood in front of the huge sand table covering an area of ??more than 20 square meters and showing the topography of the entire Shandong Province, with serious expressions on their brows.  The sand table is full of flags representing the warring parties. In various places on the sand table, the rising sun flag representing the Japanese army has surrounded the flags representing the bases of the Eighth Route Army, and is advancing towards the flag of the Eighth Route Army. But the advance of the rising sun flag  But the speed was very slow, it was too fast to describe it as a turtle's speed, it was like a snail's speed. For three whole days, the average advancing distance of the various units of the Japanese army was less than 20 miles.  This was simply unimaginable for the Japanese army, which had made rapid progress on the frontal battlefield before.

    It's not that the devils don't work hard, it's just that the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. When the Eighth Route Army's military regions were shrinking their troops, they moved all the people from the outskirts of the base areas into the mountains, livestock, food, poultry, pots and pans, etc.  Everything was taken away, that's not counting. Before leaving, they smashed the stove and destroyed some water sources. In a word, they gave the devils a complete fortification.

    After the devils came, they didn't feel anything at first when they saw the empty village. It wasn't until cooking that they realized how vicious the Eighth Route Army was. Although they all carried rations, the rations had to be heated.  Without the stove, they can only set up a stove to make a fire. Fortunately, here is a mountainous area, and there is no shortage of firewood. The problem of eating has been solved, but the problem of drinking water has come again.

    There is never a shortage of water in the mountains, but both rivers and streams have been destroyed. I went to the mouth of the well and saw that all the wells in the village had been filled. I finally agreed to find a well that was not destroyed, but it was only after drinking.  It was discovered that the gang of militiamen and civilians left this well for a purpose. They poisoned the well water, and it was a large dose of arsenic.  When the military doctor rushed over to take a look, the bodies of those poisoned Japanese soldiers had turned purple, and they seemed to be dying.  However, some soldiers who drank little water were rescued because they were not deeply poisoned, but they lost their combat effectiveness.

    Just this one item caused a total loss of more than 600 people in various departments of the Japanese army.  This is the strength of half a brigade. Just a year ago, a total of 260,000 central troops were defeated, with nearly 80,000 casualties and prisoners. The battle of Zhongtiaoshan occupied most of Shanxi. The Japanese army announced the death toll after the war.  680 people.

    The commanders of the various departments of the Japanese army, seeing that these Chinese people dared to use such insidious means to deal with the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, immediately ordered the troops to accelerate the attack, clamoring to let these Chinese people who did not know how to live or die would pay blood for blood.

    But if it could be accelerated, wouldn't it have been accelerated sooner? Since the Japanese army entered the mountain, the militiamen who accepted the weapons eliminated by the main force have never stopped harassing them.

    This group of cunning militiamen brought their guerrilla tactics to the extreme. Familiar with the environment, they criss-crossed the mountains, targeting the devil's forward and logistics troops. They placed anti-personnel mines on both sides of the road, and then hid in the dense woods next to them.  Among them, as soon as the devil troops came over, they would immediately pull the wires. The Type 66 anti-infantry directional mines were extremely powerful. Not to mention the body, even the tanks used by the Japanese army to open the way could be easily penetrated.

    Just when the Japanese soldiers were blown up by the steel balls hidden in the anti-personnel landmines, the militiamen immediately jumped out and used the newly acquired 38-style, Hanyang-made and Czech-style, crooked hands to sweep the devils  , and run at one stroke, and never love to fight.  When the Japanese army reacted, they had already run away without a trace, and the angry devils could only shoot randomly at the woods to vent their anger.

    In the repeated attacks of the militia, the occupation that had been going well before fell into a stalemate after the Japanese army entered the mountainous area.

    ?

    This is not the only reason why the two bosses of the Japanese Twelfth Army are so troubled. The Eighth Route Army unit that broke out from the Yimeng Mountains moved quickly, and there was a big commotion as soon as it made a move.  It is known that after passing through the Yidong Mountains, the Eighth Route Army troops with a specific number of more than 9,000 troops divided into three groups to attack eastward with all their strength. The north and south groups are attacking Zhucheng and Weixian.  They also carried large-caliber heavy artillery, and they quickly cleared the security villages, gun towers, and strongholds on the outskirts of the county. The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the two counties had to retreat to the county to support themselves.

    The attacking troops in the middle road took down Anqiu Town within a day, and are now sending troops to sweep the periphery of AnqiuStrongholds and forts.

    What Lieutenant General Tuqiao Jiuyi was most worried about happened. Weixian, Anqiu, and Zhucheng are located at the junction of Luzhong and Jiaodong Peninsula. As long as these three places are occupied, the connection between Jiaodong Peninsula and other parts of Shandong can be cut off.  Weixian is also an important hub on the Jiaoji Railway. Once the Jiaoji Railway is cut off, the Twelfth Army will lose all kinds of supplies brought in from Qingdao. This is the main supply for the Japanese army in Shandong. Now the Japanese army in Shandong is attacking in an all-round way.  The consumption of materials, especially ammunition, was very huge. The previous reserves could support the troops¡¯ combat needs for at most two weeks. Once the supplies were lost, it meant that the Japanese army would have to stop the all-out attack.  When it was wiped out, the besieged Eighth Route Army units may take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

    We must know that the Shandong Eighth Route Army is not weaker than the Japanese army in terms of light weapons. If they concentrate their forces to attack a little bit, break the encirclement of the Japanese army, and then jump to the outside line to counter-encircle and attack the Japanese army, the situation on the entire battlefield will be completely changed.  The various units of the Japanese army supplying ammunition will also suffer heavy losses.

    Just thinking about the consequences like this, Lieutenant General Tuqiao Jiuyi's head broke out in cold sweat. Fortunately, he had made arrangements before, and the Fifth Independent Mixed Brigade had withdrawn 2  The brigade, together with the troops drawn from the garrisons in Jiaodong, totaled more than 4,200 infantrymen. Major General Uchida Ginnosuke, head of the Fifth Mixed Brigade, transferred another 92-style infantry with 8 units from the garrison in Qingdao.  The artillery squadron of the artillery, together with the soldiers, formed a reinforced wing, led by Umekawa Yasuhito, the chief of staff of the Fifth Mixed Brigade, and rushed eastward to support.

    The two brigades and one artillery squad that acted as the vanguard, under the personal leadership of Meichuan Kangren, had already resisted Weixian by train. It happened that the defenders were defending against the attack of the Eighth Route Army.  The chariot squadron dispatched by Lingwai from the 33rd Division has all resisted Zhangdian and is waiting to be loaded. It is expected to arrive in Weixian County before dawn tomorrow.

    Lieutenant General Tuqiao Jiuyi ordered Meichuan Kangren to destroy the Eighth Route Army unit that attacked Weixian County first, and then lead his troops southward to attack the Eighth Route Army unit in Anqiu and Zhucheng after all the troops arrived.

    Lieutenant General Tuqiao Jiuyi naively believed that as long as this reinforced regiment with chariot troops entered the battlefield, it would definitely be able to completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army troops that caused him trouble.  As long as this threat is eliminated, he can concentrate on commanding the troops to eliminate the Eighth Route Army in various parts of Shandong.  It won't resist for too long, and it's only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

    Thinking of this, his deeply furrowed brows finally relaxed.

    Weixian County, has arrived in Weixian Meichuan Kang Ren is commanding troops to attack the Eighth Route Army outside the city.  The Japanese army left the city through other city gates, and then, under the cover of the two 92-type infantry guns in the city and the machine guns on the city wall, formed skirmishers and rushed towards the Eighth Route Army's position.

    The reason why Japanese soldiers gave up their favorite "pig rush" tactic was because they found that the firepower of this Eighth Route Army unit was extremely fierce. Not only did each of them have a submachine gun, but a dozen people had a machine gun, and dozens of mortars and guns.  A cannon that can withstand direct fire at the shoulder.

    Although the Japanese soldiers were brave, they were not stupid. In the face of such firepower, they used pigs to rush, and that was no different from sending them to death.  But even in a loose line of skirmishers, the intensive firepower still caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers rushed up like a tide, but retreated like a tide.  The only thing left was the pile of corpses in front of the Eighth Route Army's position.

    The eyes of Colonel Mei Chuan Yasuhito, who was standing on the city wall watching the battle, were about to burst into flames. He roared angrily: "Order the Second Battalion to fight, concentrate all the grenades and mortars, and bombard me. We must fight today!"  Kill those Chinese people!"

    The staff officer standing beside him immediately took the order, and not long after, more than a thousand soldiers from the second brigade also rushed out of the city.

    The head of the 14th Regiment squatting under a big tree 500 meters away from the first-line position put down his binoculars, and said excitedly: "The devils have increased their troops, notify the troops on the front-line position, let the devils in and fight again, and order the artillery,  As soon as the devil's attacking troops entered a position 200 meters away from the frontline positions, they would immediately fire and use artillery fire to separate them from the follow-up troops, so that the third battalion would be ready for battle.  Together with the first battalion, I will eat all the devils who rush in. Damn it, I must bleed the devils today."

    "Regimental Commander!" A correspondent ran over with cats: "Regimental Commander, the commander called and said that they are ready and ordered us to retreat!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com  com
