On April 8, 1939, Shinozuka Kunigoro and Kimura Shozaburo each led an infantry regiment, starting from Zaozhuang, heading north to Shanting County, and heading east to Lanling County.
The 21st Division Cavalry Regiment was left in Zaozhuang and placed under the command of the independent mixed sixth brigade headquarters!
According to the Japanese army¡¯s battle plan, after the two armies arrived at their attack positions, the three armies launched simultaneous attacks from the west, south and southwest directions, forming a semi-encirclement of the Xiong¡¯er Mountain area and annihilating Li Guoyao¡¯s troops in one fell swoop.
However, as soon as the Japanese army took action, Li Guoyao's troops received detailed intelligence and responded quickly.
After receiving the telegram from the intelligence department, Li Guoyao immediately ordered Ni Zhiliang's second brigade to take immediate action. The entire brigade was divided into two, and equipped with a large number of snipers, they were on the mountain road leading to Shanting and Lanling. Block Japanese military operations.
Following Li Guoyao's order, more than a thousand elite soldiers and more than 80 snipers affiliated with the Shandong Guerrilla Corps quickly took action, and a mountain guerrilla war that opened the eyes of the Japanese army but broke out in cold sweat began.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, it has been more than three hours since Shinozuka Kunigoro's troops came out of Zaozhuang City. At this time, they are still about fifteen kilometers away from Shanting County.
Because there are mountain roads all the way, and many roads were dug up by the hateful Japanese, every step was very difficult. In three hours, the 212th Regiment only walked less than 15 kilometers. , this speed is not much faster than a snail.
You must know that in the previous training of the 212th Regiment, the marching speed of the troops set a record of ten kilometers per hour. The distance from Zaozhuang to Shanting is only 40 kilometers. In the opinion of Shinozuka Kunigoro, it should take five hours. Arriving within.
The result was far beyond Shinozuka Kunigoro¡¯s expectations!
The reason why the marching speed of the troops was greatly affected was not only the rugged mountain roads and the destruction of the main traffic lines along the way, but more importantly, the harassment and obstruction of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps.
Along the way, Shinozuka Kunigoro and more than 4,000 Japanese troops were tortured. Shortly after the troops left the city, they were attacked by landmines. Several Japanese soldiers were killed and injured by an infantry mine.
Along with them, there will be snipers. There will be ambushes in the mountains along the way. There will be mines in the woods. From time to time, a few mortar shells will fall from the sky, or they will be violently beaten by machine gun positions set up on the highlands.
But every time Shinozuka Kunigoro sent people to pursue him, the results were always unexpected. Each time the enemy retreated very promptly. After paying huge casualties, they found nothing except picking up a few bullet casings to prove that there were indeed enemies. There's no point in being too active here.
Occasionally, the people sent by Shinozuka Kunigoro moved quickly and were not afraid of death, and they could bite the Chinese army, but they were quickly thrown away by the Chinese army who were familiar with the terrain.
Since there is no cavalry unit, those pesky guerrillas fight unscrupulously and will block attacks as long as the terrain is suitable. Anyway, they only need to place a few light and heavy machine guns on the top of the mountain to carry out a suppressive attack on the Imperial Japanese Army.
It was originally a five-hour journey, but in the end the 212th Wing had to walk for two days and suffered extremely heavy losses.
After the troops arrived at Shantei and counted the losses, the data reported below made Shinozuka Kunigoro take a breath. 366 people were killed, 279 were injured, and 645 people were directly lost, which is equivalent to an infantry brigade that is not full.
Troop losses are one thing, but more importantly, during these two days of difficult march, they were constantly forced to counterattack. The troops consumed a lot of ammunition, but the results they achieved were embarrassing.
They only found the bodies of 4 Chinese guerrillas on the battlefield. Although this is certainly not the final casualty figure of the guerrillas, it is not very large if you think about it.
It is really unimaginable for Shinozuka Kunigoro that one day his regiment will be beaten like this by a guerrilla force. It feels so aggrieved!
¡°Similar to what happened to the 212th Regiment, Shozaburo Kimura¡¯s troops also went through an unspeakable journey of death.
It's only over fifty kilometers from Zaozhuang to Lanling, and Kimura Shozaburo's troops have been stationed in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu for more than half a year. It stands to reason that they have adapted to the climate and terrain here, so Kimura Shozaburo doesn't take this mission to heart at all. .
"But when the troops came out of Zaozhuang City, it was like they had a nightmare. Mines, mortars, snipers, and the elusive guerrillas nearly destroyed Kimura Shozaburo's troops.
The road from Zaozhuang to Lanling had to pass through several dangerous hilly and mountainous areas, and there was a section of winding mountain road. The guerrillas who occupied the favorable terrain gave full play to their terrain advantages, and their firepower was fierce and accurate.
What annoyed Kimura Masasaburo most was that although their army had more than a dozen tanks, the tanks were inconvenient to move in the mountainous areas. Instead, they became a burden on the infantry and were unable to effectively pursue the guerrillas who attacked them.
Precisely because of this, the guerrillas fought very elegantly. They fought whenever they wanted and retreated when they couldn't beat them. They were not sloppy at all.
The distance of fifty kilometers required Kimura¡¯s troops to walk for three and a half days. When the troops saw Lanling County, many people shed tears. It was really difficult!
In more than three days of journey, Kimura's troops suffered more than 800 casualties, which was far more serious than the 212th Regiment on the Northern Front.
What makes Shozaburo Kimura most angry is that the Chinese army can obviously kill his soldiers, but they have to seriously injure these people.
In this way, two healthy soldiers will take care of each wounded soldier. The wounded accounted for two-thirds of the more than 800 losses. In order to take care of these wounded, one of his brigade's troops lost their combat effectiveness, plus the hundreds of people who were killed and injured. Finally, Colonel Kimura discovered to his horror that his regiment During the march, there is only one large group of troops that can be used for combat.
¡°And the Japanese troops on both sides were horrified to find that after this difficult march, the morale of the troops had suffered a fatal blow.
The soldiers who were originally filled with murderous intent, now their first reaction upon hearing the sound of gunshots is to climb down quickly.
"Moreover, the troops didn't even get a good night's sleep along the way. There would always be gunshots nearby just as they fell asleep.
When I got up and took a look, I found that either the sentry was attacked or the patrol was killed. In the end, every person on duty had to be a squadron of soldiers.
After a long period of rest, everyone, including the officers, became irritable. It can be said that they suffered a lot during this march.
Fortunately, no matter how difficult it was, they finally reached the attack position. Now they only need to wait for the order from Major General Tsuchiya in Zaozhuang City, and the three armies can immediately move into the Xiong'er Mountain area to win the merit they deserve.
After learning about the encounters of the Shinozuka Regiment and the Kimura Regiment, the Tsuchiya troops were silent for a long time, and then ordered the two regiments to rest on the spot for two days to restore their morale before taking action.
Two days later, after receiving a telegram from Shinozuka Kunigoro and Kimura Shozaburo, he learned that the morale of the troops had recovered. Tsuchiya H¨ma immediately ordered the troops to act according to the original plan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
