As the troops headed north, he embarked on an unknown road. Neither Li Guoyao nor the other officers and soldiers knew whether what awaited them would be annihilation or a comeback.
But no one retreated. Everyone knew that they had no way out. It was not only the order of the Military Commission, but more importantly, they needed a stable environment to develop the army. Otherwise, no matter how many people this army develops, it may become unstable. Become cannon fodder.
Just like this Wuhan battle, when the troops marched from Wuhan City to the Jiujiang front line, the total strength of the army was more than 30,000, including infantry, cavalry, artillery, air defense troops, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry cannon, and large-caliber artillery. There are a lot of them, and there are not many new recruits in the entire army.
But no one thought that in a few months, the army would be reduced by more than 90%!
"If Li Guoyao hadn't been smart enough to place some of the logistics troops, the wounded, and new recruits in Huanghuazhai in time, they would have been left alone.
No one wants to be cannon fodder, Li Guoyao is not willing, and neither are other soldiers. Therefore, they need to take a new path. Although this path is difficult to walk, it is their only way.
After coming out of Huanghuazhai, the troops traveled through mountains and rivers all the way, which was very hard!
In order to stay hidden, Li Guoyao ordered all troops to travel by day and night. They would find a forest or a mountain col to sleep in during the day, and then start their journey at night.
The reason is also very simple. During the day, the Japanese dominate the world. If the troops march during the day, they will be easily discovered by the Japanese army. Moreover, it is winter now, and the day time is much shorter than the night. If you march during the day, it can take up to seven or eight hours, and at night. If you are marching, you can walk for more than ten hours, and you can go as quickly as possible.
And for the sake of safety, Li Guoyao ordered the main force to avoid the towns as much as possible when they saw it!
Fortunately, Li Guoyao led the special forces to clear the way, and the troops moved very quickly.
But even though the troops were very careful, there were still troubles along the way. After all, the straight-line distance from the Dabie Mountains to Shandong was a full five to six hundred kilometers, during which time they had to cross Anhui and Henan provinces, and these places had already fallen. With the situation unclear, the probability of the troops encountering emergencies is still very high.
First, the troops encountered a Japanese night raid team unexpectedly in the Lu'an area and had an encounter.
However, because the sentries of the special forces led by Li Guoyao were placed far away, they knew early on that a plainclothes unit of the Japanese and puppet troops was coming towards them. In order to ensure that the large force was not discovered, Li Guoyao could only decide to send this plainclothes unit of the Japanese army to them. The team was eliminated on the spot.
The plainclothes team of the little devils was mainly to raid nearby villages. They never expected to encounter Li Guoyao and others in the inaccessible mountainous area, so a complete infantry squadron was quickly killed and became Li Guoyao and others. The first whetstone on the road to Shandong.
" Later, Li Guoyao and others were robbed by a group of bandits on the way. Li Guoyao was naturally not polite about this. Those who were willing to surrender would be kept. If they were unwilling to surrender, then I would be sorry to destroy them all on the spot.
Li Guoyao didn't have a good impression of these bandits. Although there were some real warriors among them, and they had no choice but to turn into bandits, most of them were real villains who turned a blind eye when they couldn't see them. One eye, but if it gets in the way, I'm sorry, I'll hit it first and then talk.
Therefore, Li Guoyao and others were not calm along the way. There were constant big and small battles, and this also greatly affected the marching speed of the troops.
"Originally, according to Li Guoyao's estimate, the distance from Dabie to Shandong was only over 600 kilometers. Based on the troops' daily march of 50 kilometers, it would take ten to twelve days to reach the destination smoothly.
¡°But what he didn¡¯t expect was that they had to walk for more than 20 days on this journey, and it was not until the end of February that they officially arrived in Shandong.
On February 22, 1939, Li Guoyao led a special force to Chenzhuang, Wulou Town, Cao County, Heze, Shandong, and officially set foot in Shandong.
However, Li Guoyao did not order the troops to stay longer in Chenzhuang, nor even entered Zhuangzi. Instead, after resting for a day in the woods outside Zhuangzi, the troops continued northward.
Not only Chenzhuang, but also the entire Caoxian County has no place suitable for the development of the army, because it is located on the Wanbei Plain and the land is thousands of miles away, which is very suitable for the operations of the Japanese mechanized troops.
If the troops set up camp and develop here, it would be easy for them to be discovered by the Japanese army, and it would also be easy for them to be pressed to the ground and rubbed by the little devils.
Li Guoyao then led the team eastwards and headed straight for the first step of their journey north.Stop - Weishan Lake!
Yes, the first place where Li Guoyao's troops settled was Weishan Lake. This was something Li Guoyao had already thought about before the troops set off.
Weishan Lake is located in a rift lake in the south of Weishan County, Shandong Province. It is connected end to end with Zhaoyang Lake, Dushan Lake and Nanyang Lake to the north and is connected by waterways. It is collectively known as the Nansi Lakes. Before the formation of the Four Lakes, there were small lakes such as Chishan, L¨¹meng, Wujia, Huangshan, Zhangzhuang, Tagu, Manjia and Yangcheng, which were eventually swallowed up by the Four Lakes respectively.
Among the four lakes, Weishan Lake is the largest with an area of ??660 square kilometers and a water depth of about 3 meters. It is the largest freshwater lake in northern China. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs beside the lake.
In addition, this place is relatively closed and close to the railway line, so Li Guoyao decided to make it the first place for the troops to stay.
On February 28, Li Guoyao and others arrived in Gaolou Township, Peixian County, and then found a few fishing boats. Then the two took more than 200 special forces troops directly into Weishan Lake and stationed on Weishan Island.
The troops landed on Weishan Island from the southwest of the island. After landing on Weishan Island, Li Guoyao found that the island was much larger than he had imagined.
After measurement, Weishan Island is 5 kilometers long from east to west, 2.5 kilometers long from north to south, and covers an area of ??9 square kilometers.
" Moreover, the situation on the island was different from Li Guoyao's expectation. Originally, Li Guoyao thought that there were no people on the island. After the troops arrived, they could smoothly enter the island and turn it into a stable base for the troops.
But after landing on the island, he discovered that there were actually people living on the island, and villages had been formed, with as many as nine villages.
The large villages have only seventy or eighty households, and the small ones have only more than ten households. The total number of residents on the island is more than 800.
However, compared to the 9 square kilometers of Weishan Island, the development of the island by these people is still very small. Most of the island is still an endless reed swamp.
Since the more specific situation on the island was unknown, Li Guoyao ordered Xu Hu and others who were following up as well as the troops coming from the direction of Zhengzhou to suspend their eastward march and stay in hiding.
The arrival of Li Guoyao and others also caused some panic among the islanders who had always lived in peace with the world. After all, these armed soldiers were still very intimidating to these simple people.
Therefore, on the second day after Li Guoyao landed on the island, Wan Gumin, the old village head of Wanzhuang, brought two young men to the residence of Li Guoyao and others. They wanted to ask these bosses what they were going to do here. The devils were invited.
When he learned that people were visiting, Li Guoyao immediately ordered people to invite them in. He was worried about how to contact these islanders. Since they took the initiative to visit, Li Guoyao naturally had to give them enough face.
So, Li Guoyao and his future right-hand man Wan Gumin met under such circumstances! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
