At 11:15 p.m., the Japanese convoy arrived at the ambush position of Li Guoyao and others within 5 minutes of leaving the city.
¡°Perhaps because they just left the city, the distance between the Japs¡¯ leading reconnaissance troops and the main force was very close, only three to four hundred meters, and they were speeding up and running forward.
In addition, it is only about two kilometers away from the city gate, so no one would have thought that the Chinese army would set up an ambush here, so this group of Ziri puppet troops rushed in.
Li Guoyao could clearly see that this group of Japanese and puppet troops had a total of six vehicles, all of which were Japanese soldiers. There were also more than a hundred infantrymen advancing on foot, plus more than thirty people running in front to clear the way. The total force should be at About two hundred and eighty people.
Combining the information collected by the intelligence department, it seems that all the Japanese soldiers in Xuecheng have been dispatched!
Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle. Once the little devil enters the ambush battlefield, fire immediately!
Soon the vanguard of the Japs entered the ambush circle, but Li Guoyao ignored them. There were only more than thirty people in total, and they couldn't make any big waves!
After letting go of the thirty or so Japanese scouts who were clearing the way, in less than two minutes, the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops arrived!
Seeing the main force of the Japs entering the ambush circle, Li Guoyao immediately pulled the trigger in his hand!
With a "bang" sound, the signal gun sounded, and a red signal flare quickly rose into the air.
The signal flare was the order to fire, almost instantly. Three positions outside the ambush circle opened fire at the same time, and the "click-click" sound of light and heavy machine guns resounded through the sky.
At the same time, several artillery positions at the front of the battlefield also began to show their power. After the dull sound of shelling, more than a dozen smoking explosive packets quickly flew towards the Japanese position.
Immediately afterwards, the entire ambush circle fell into a state of shaking, and the violent explosions spread to more than ten miles away!
The little devils in the ambush circle never thought that such dense explosive packets would fly overhead. Each of these explosive packets weighed more than ten kilograms, and they were all filled with iron nails and broken pieces. Shrapnel of explosives.
Once the explosive package explodes, these nails, shrapnel and even glass fragments will become the death talisman of the king of hell.
Although the little devil responded quickly when the signal flare sounded, it was of no use. Under the crazy attack of the heartless cannon, no one in the center of the battlefield could stand up in just three rounds of shelling.
The only ones Li Guoyao and others desperately attacked were the Japanese vanguard troops who had just been let go and then returned. However, the opponent's troops only had about thirty people. Under the guns of the special forces, these people only persisted for two or three minutes.
It only took five minutes from the start to the end of the battle. At this point, the puppet army that had come out of Xuecheng for more than two hundred days was completely finished!
After the battle, the troops immediately cleaned the battlefield. Weapons, equipment, ammunition, documents, etc. were all targets of Li Guoyao and others.
However, when the soldiers entered the battlefield, they were all shocked by the sight before them. They saw that the small battlefield in front of them was like Shura Hell, with corpses blown to pieces everywhere.
Except for the Japanese and puppet soldiers under the car, it would be difficult to find a complete body, let alone a living person.
Under such a dense bombardment of explosives, even if someone is not killed, the huge shock wave will kill people.
The power of the heartless cannon even shocked Li Guoyao, but if you think about it, an ordinary artillery with a caliber of seventy or eighty millimeters is powerful enough, and the caliber of the heartless cannon is even more astonishing. How thick is the oil barrel? How big is the caliber.
Generally speaking, the smallest caliber is 300 mm, and some can even reach 800 to 900 mm. The larger the caliber, the larger the explosive package will be, and the more powerful it will be.
The most frightening thing is that the cost of making this kind of artillery is extremely low. The main material is a better iron oil barrel, and the manufacturing method is simple and can be learned as soon as possible.
In addition, this kind of artillery is very powerful, but the shells are relatively simpler and cheaper explosive bags. No matter how thick the bunker is, as long as it is hit by such an extra-large explosive bag, even if the bunker cannot be blown up, it will be destroyed. The soldiers inside were shocked to death. This kind of artillery will greatly make up for the lack of artillery under Li Guoyao.
Li Guoyao's side ended quickly, and Chen Jianzhong and others also did a good job. As soon as the battle here ended, the gunfire from the direction of Changzhuang stopped.
In fact, it is easy to understand. The biggest reliance of the Japs is those relatively strong gun towers. They hide in the gun towers to fight back, wait for reinforcements, and are basically invincible.
But now the blockhouse is like paper in front of the heartless cannon. It collapsed after a few hits. A large number of Japanese and puppet troops were buried in the ruins of the blockhouse. The remaining puppet troops saw this posture and started to panic. They gave up resistance, so Chen Jianzhong and others defeated the Changzhuang stronghold in less than twenty minutes.
After the battle, Chen Jianzhong immediately ordered people to rescue the people imprisoned in the stronghold and let them go home. After cleaning the battlefield, he escorted more than 20 prisoners and a small amount of loot to go with Li Guoyao and others. Convergence.
Originally, the monk and others suggested that Li Guoyao take the opportunity to capture Xuecheng. After all, there are not many Japanese and puppet troops in the city now. Perhaps a single charge can bring down this small town.
But he was rejected by Li Guoyao. He knew very well that when fighting behind enemy lines, sieging cities and plundering territory was the second most important thing. The most important thing was to kill the enemy's effective forces. They had eliminated more than 300 days of puppet troops in this battle, which was enough.
What's more, with such a big battle here, it's impossible for the Japs in Zaozhuang not to react at all. Reinforcements are probably already on the way. If they don't retreat quickly, they may be bitten by the Japs.
Then, Li Guoyao waved his hand, and the entire army immediately retreated south and returned to Jiaoshan!
In this battle, Li Guoyao's troops dispatched more than 500 people and annihilated more than 300 Japanese defenders in Xuecheng in less than an hour, and also rescued more than 2,000 civilians imprisoned by the Japanese army.
As these people returned to their villages one after another, the name of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps also spread deep into the rural areas of southwestern Shandong.
Because of the strong combat effectiveness and the image of a benevolent and righteous army displayed by Li Guoyao's troops in this battle, they were quickly recognized by the people in southwestern Shandong. This provided convenience for the future development of the army and laid a solid foundation.
However, because they used large-caliber "heavy artillery" in this battle, they once again attracted the attention of the Shandong 12th Army Headquarters!
In fact, shortly after Li Guoyao and others withdrew from the battlefield, about two squadrons of Japanese reinforcements arrived in Zaozhuang. Then the Japanese army, under the command of Hirata Sadako, went out of the city to reinforce Sato Lieutenant Colonel and others.
As a result, as soon as they left the city, they saw the ambush battlefield that had been cleaned up. Then Sadako Hirata and others went to the Changzhuang stronghold and inspected the ruins of the bombed turrets.
After some investigation, Hirata Sadako immediately submitted a report to the 12th Army Headquarters!
According to Hirata Sadako's report, it was determined that the regular army active in southwestern Shandong was a regular army of the Chinese government. The unit's designation was "Shandong Guerrilla Corps." However, who the commander was, how big the unit was, and how many troops it had were unclear. Not sure.
However, Hirata Sadako noticed that this force rarely operated in large groups. Every time it was a small force, the focus of the attack was also small strongholds in various towns.
However, this unit is equipped with a large number of heavy artillery and its combat effectiveness is extremely amazing. Therefore, Hirata Sadako suggested that the Corps Headquarters immediately send additional heavy troops to encircle and suppress, otherwise Hu is likely to become a serious problem for the Imperial Japanese Army.
After receiving the report from Hirata Sadako, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo almost did not hesitate. He immediately ordered the independent mixed sixth brigade that had just arrived in Shandong to rush from Huimin to Jinan, and dispatched a brigade of troops south to Zaozhuang to cooperate with Zaozhuang. The defenders in the area encircled and suppressed this abominable "Shandong Guerrilla Corps"! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
