Overnight, more than 30 strongholds near Zaozhuang were destroyed by the Chinese army, with more than 1,300 casualties and casualties. In addition, two main railway lines were paralyzed, and there was no hope of reopening them for less than half a month.
When the news came, the 12th Army was greatly shocked!
Originally, Otaka Kamezo felt that the incident in southwestern Shandong was just a small quarrel between the Tubal guerrillas. He took advantage of the opportunity when the main force of the 21st Division moved eastward to northern Jiangsu to come out to cause trouble. The purpose was to force the main force of the 21st Division to return to Shandong to aid. Southwest, so we are preparing to send a large group of infantry south to reinforce the defenders in the direction of Zaozhuang.
But no one expected that the Chinese army in southwestern Shandong was far more powerful than they imagined. They destroyed more than 30 imperial army strongholds overnight. This was definitely not something that just one or two regiments could accomplish. of.
Although the number of soldiers lost by the Imperial Japanese Army in this battle was not many, it was only more than 1,300 people at full count, of which more than 800 were from the Imperial Association Army alone, and the rest was the Imperial Japanese Army.
But the impact is unimaginable. You must know that southwestern Shandong is an important passage connecting North China and Central China. In particular, the Jinpu Railway is the most important lifeline for the Japanese army in North and Central China. Now that such a serious thing has happened, Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo You can imagine how angry Mr. Sugiyama Moto will be.
Sure enough, the 12th Army Headquarters had just received a report from the direction of Zaozhuang, and a telegram of reprimand from the North China Front Army Headquarters was sent to Jinan.
After reading the harsh telegram sent by His Excellency Sugiyama Gen, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo suddenly felt bad and immediately ordered the independent mixed sixth brigade that had just arrived in Jinan to immediately go south to Zaozhuang.
At the same time, the intelligence department was ordered to find out the actual situation of the Chinese army in southwest Shandong at all costs, and then cooperate with the independent mixed sixth brigade to completely eliminate this Chinese army.
After receiving the order from Odaka Kamezo, the commander of the independent sixth brigade, Tsuchiya H¨ma, did not dare to neglect, and immediately gathered the main force of the brigade and headed south urgently!
While the little devil was dispatching his troops, Li Guoyao and others held a celebration banquet on Weishan Island!
After the battle ended last night, except for Zhang Tengjiao's troops who went deep into the mountainous area of ??southern Luna, the remaining troops all withdrew to Weishan Island.
At the same time, a large amount of loot came back, including weapons, equipment, food and other supplies!
After a tiring night, all the troops were resting in the morning the next day. In the afternoon, Li Guoyao issued a notice to hold a celebration banquet in the evening and improve the food for the entire army.
Starting from the afternoon, the logistics department began to prepare. Not only did they kill two big fat pigs, they also killed a seriously injured war horse. In addition, all the Japanese cans and other things they seized were sent to the logistics department.
At six o¡¯clock in the evening, the celebration banquet begins!
In addition to the thousands of soldiers from the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, Li Guoyao also ordered people to invite all the people on the island to come over and have fun together!
After one and a half months of contact, the people on the island also have a certain understanding of this unit. They know that they are a real unit that fights Japanese invaders. In normal times, they do not harass the people. They win battles and make seizures occasionally. Give some to the folks.
In addition, there are young men working for the army in every village, and some have even joined the national army. Therefore, the people on the island not only accepted the army, but also began to slowly support the development of the army.
This was the first time that the garrison on the island invited the common people to have a meal. I heard that there was meat and wine, so the common people came one after another.
When they arrived at the army station, they found that there were hundreds of large pots placed on the training ground, and the pots were all stewed with meat. The smell made the women and children salivate.
And on the other side were big white steamed buns piled into a hill. The only regret was that the men didn¡¯t see the wine!
At this time Li Guoyao stood up and said: "Brothers and fellow villagers, our troops once again won the battle last night and seized a large amount of materials and equipment. This is not only the bloodshed and sacrifice of the brothers, but also the strong support of the fellow villagers." You deserve a lot of credit, so I, Mr. Li, will take this opportunity to entertain you all tonight. I wish you all good food and drink!"
"Bah bang bang"
There was a burst of warm applause!
But after the applause, someone shouted loudly and asked: "Commander, what did you ask the brothers to drink? You didn't see any wine!"
Li Guoyao laughed loudly and said: "Drinking is prohibited in the army. Besides, all the wine we seized has been sent to the field hospital to treat the wounded, so I will give you some extra to drink. However, I have asked the logistics department to cook a few big pots of duck." Blood soup, let¡¯s drink the soup after we finish the meat.?¡±
"Hahaha!"
?¡
A celebration banquet lasted until after nine o'clock. When the people dispersed, Li Guoyao informed all senior officers to go to the headquarters for a meeting immediately!
The small headquarters was crowded with people. Although everyone felt tired from the continuous battles, the big guys were in good spirits.
"Tap tap tap"
With the sound of heavy leather boots, Li Guoyao appeared at the headquarters!
"The commander is here!"
Following the guard¡¯s announcement, all the officers immediately stood up and straightened their backs to show respect for Li Guoyao!
After arriving at the main seat, Li Guoyao said calmly: "Everyone, sit down!"
After everyone was seated, Li Guoyao said immediately: "Brothers, the results of last night's battle have been calculated. In this battle, our army uprooted 36 Japanese strongholds, destroyed 47 artillery towers, annihilated 1,287 Japanese and puppet troops, and captured 68 soldiers." People. Seized 892 long and short guns, 38 light and heavy machine guns, 6 large and small cannons, some ammunition, grain, cloth and silver coins!"
"In this battle, our army suffered 144 casualties, including 86 killed in action, which is perfect in terms of tactical effect! Please give yourself a round of applause. We have demonstrated military prestige and national prestige with minimal casualties!"
"Bah bang bang"
Warm applause erupted in the headquarters, and it lasted for a minute before it stopped!
"Brothers, in the past few days we used the tactic of encirclement and reinforcements. Last night we used the tactic of breaking and attacking. How do you feel about its power?" Li Guoyao said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chief of Staff Ma Desheng standing up and saying: "Commander, I used to look down on this guerrilla warfare in my humble position. I always felt that it was just wandering instead of fighting, which was giving in! But after these few days of fighting, brother is really convinced. !¡±
Then Ma Desheng continued: "Since our troops began to carry out guerrilla operations against the Japs in mid-February, in less than 20 days, our army has uprooted 68 Japanese strongholds, captured two county towns, destroyed two Japanese military stations, and eliminated the Japanese army. 1,265 people, 1,677 puppet troops, 212 prisoners, and a large amount of weapons, equipment and other strategic materials seized."
"After several battles, we not only established the reputation of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, but also greatly intimidated the Japanese and puppet troops, so that those scoundrels did not even dare to leave the city without a squadron of troops! In terms of effect, thousands of us It has a momentum that only a hundred thousand troops can achieve, this guerrilla warfare is indeed outstanding!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Baojun stood up and said: "More than just being superior, I think guerrilla warfare is much more effective behind enemy lines than regular warfare!"
"Yes, in regular warfare we have to shed our skin after every major battle, but in guerrilla warfare our casualties are very small, and the results are not small. I think this guerrilla warfare is better than regular warfare!"
"I also think that this guerrilla warfare is indeed more powerful than regular warfare. From now on, we can just use this guerrilla warfare to fight the Japanese"
