With the sudden outbreak of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, gunfire rumbled across the entire southwestern Shandong region, and the Japanese and puppet troops in many places fell into a passive position.
However, the Japanese army was obviously well prepared for this situation. Under the mobilization of the 12th Army Headquarters, a large number of Japanese troops rushed to the frontline battlefield to launch a strong counterattack against Li Guoyao's troops.
For Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, this is a rare opportunity. You must know that the reason why they failed to succeed in encircling Li Guoyao's troops with heavy troops last time was not because they were not as strong as the national army, but because the national army was too cunning and did not get along at all. They were fighting head-on, and even if they were fighting, they would still have an absolute terrain advantage.
As a result, after a week of bloody fighting, the troops not only failed to completely annihilate Li Guoyao's troops, but actually lost their own troops and generals.
This time Li Guoyao's troops took the initiative to attack. Even though the Imperial Japanese Army was suffering heavy losses, Odaka Kamezo was still very happy.
"Compared to the loss of a few hundred people, it was completely worth it to annihilate Li Guoyao's troops.
"What Ougao Guizang didn't know was that when they were plotting against the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, Li Guoyao was also plotting against them.
The fighting started on June 28, and the two sides continued to fight in Shanting, Yixian and other places until the 30th. There were even sporadic exchanges of fire in places such as Zaozhuang and Lanling.
Both sides seemed to be getting angry. Li Guoyao's troops dispatched artillery and fire support troops, as well as unscrupulous cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns. On the Japanese side, all aircraft, artillery and tanks were dispatched, and even Lieutenant General Oga Kamezo also He personally rushed to Zaozhuang from Jinan to direct the operations of the front-line troops.
In the two and a half days of bloody battle, both Li Guoyao's troops and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses!
Considering that the Chinese army had spent a lot of money this time, Odaka Kamezo believed that the time was ripe to annihilate Li Guoyao's troops. He immediately reported to the North China Headquarters and requested to concentrate forces to capture the Xiong'er Mountain area.
After discussing with Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, General Yamaguchi Moto believed that Li Guoyao's troops had obviously been extremely severely stimulated this time and would even fight back at any cost. It was indeed a rare opportunity, and he immediately agreed to the 12th Army The headquarters requested a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of Li Guoyao's troops.
After receiving the approval from the North China Front Army Headquarters, Ougao Kamezo was overjoyed. Judging from the current situation, Li Guoyao's troops were completely crazy. As long as they could make a breakthrough in one direction, they could completely defeat this abominable unit. Surrounded by Xiong'er Mountain.
However, in view of the previous heavy losses of the unit and its combat effectiveness, Odaka Kamezo immediately ordered the 21st Division stationed in Xuzhou to immediately transfer some of the main forces from Linyi and Xuzhou to the north to support the battle in the direction of Zaozhuang.
After receiving the order from the 12th Army Headquarters, the Japanese garrison commander in Xuzhou and the commander of the 21st Division, Lieutenant General Jin Wushi, did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the two main regiments under his command to assemble immediately, and then marched from Linyi and Xuzhou respectively. Heading to the Zaozhuang front line.
Since Linyi still transferred some troops before, the 21st Division originally only had three main units. At this time, two and a half were attracted to Zaozhuang. The defense situation of both Linyi and Xuzhou was very poor. Empty, and this is what Li Guoyao likes to see.
Shanting front line!
Zhang Tengjiao looked at the front line not far away with a solemn face. Two days ago, he concentrated more than 5,000 main forces to besiege Shanting County. However, because the Japanese army was already on guard and the direction of Zaozhuang continued to increase troops to the Shanting front line, there was no Can capture Shanting County.
As the Japanese reinforcements continued to increase, the Japs were obviously no longer willing to defend passively. Starting from this morning, the Japs continued to fight back.
Throughout the whole morning, his troops charged 4 times, but the Japs carried out six counter-charges. Both sides turned the land outside Shanting City red. The positions were filled with corpses that both sides had no time to restrain. The smell of blood Permeated in the air.
Since it has entered the end of June and the temperature has increased, the bodies of those who died in the previous two days have begun to decay, so there is still a strong smell of putrefaction in the air.
After two and a half consecutive days of bloody fighting, both sides suffered heavy losses, but as far as Zhang Tengjiao was concerned, their side suffered more casualties.
Firstly, it is because the quality of individual soldiers of the Japanese army is relatively high, and the soldiers' shooting accuracy is very high, which caused a lot of casualties to the troops.
Secondly, they are on the offensive side, and the Japanese army is on the defensive side. Before the city defense is breached, the defending side will always suffer much fewer casualties than the attacking side. This is an iron rule!
"Old Zhang, the Japs have withdrawn. Should we charge again?" Lu Dashan asked in a deep voice.
"Wait a minute!"
Then Zhang Tengjiao turned to Lu Zhanwu and asked, "Xiucai, how are the casualties of the troops?"
Lu Zhanwu frowned and said: "So far, 800 people have been killed and 400 injured, and the total reduction is 1,200!"
"How much ammunition are left?"
"The rifle ammunition is still enough, but the machine gun ammunition is about to bottom out. It can last for an afternoon at most! There are not many artillery shells left, and there is only a base amount left at most!"
Zhang Tengjiao nodded and said, "It's okay. How are the mood of the soldiers?"
"It's not bad. Everyone knows that this battle is to avenge those fellow villagers who were massacred by the little devils. Even if the casualties are larger, the big guys can still accept it, but the casualties are too heavy and there has been no breakthrough. Morale It is inevitable to fall back!" Lu Zhanwu said.
"Well, then I know!"
Then Zhang Tengjiao looked at the map again, and then said in a deep voice: "Send the order, let the 7th and 8th Infantry Squadrons assemble, and then launch an attack on the Japanese front-line positions. At the same time, order the artillery brigade to attack the Japs immediately after the infantry charges. Conduct artillery bombardment on the front line and shoot out all the artillery shells for me!"
"yes!"
"Tell the infantry on the front line to be smart when charging. They can only enter the two hundred meters in front of the Japanese position. They will withdraw immediately after the artillery bombardment is over!" Zhang Tengjiao warned again.
"yes!"
Following Zhang Tengjiao¡¯s order, the national troops on the front line quickly began to assemble!
With the continuous expansion of the army, the establishment of Li Guoyao's headquarters usually has more than 400 people in the squadron-level combat units, and the two squadrons have 800 people. Although after these few days of fighting, each unit has suffered serious attrition, but the two squadrons In total, there were at least six hundred people.
A huge crowd gathered at the front line and quickly attracted the attention of the Japanese army!
Soon, the Japanese commander also ordered his troops to prepare for battle to meet the next charge of the Chinese army.
"Tap tap tap"
Following the order of a major officer, two squadrons of Chinese troops swarmed towards the Japanese position!
The moment the infantry launched their charge, the artillery positions in the rear also began to show their power!
"Boom boom boom"
More than a dozen large-caliber field artillery plus more than twenty mortars and infantry guns opened fire at the same time, and dense artillery shells flew towards the Japs¡¯ front-line positions.
Because the Japs¡¯ fortifications were built in a hurry and no cat-ear holes were built, when the dense artillery shells fell, all the Japs soldiers were stunned and could only subconsciously keep their heads in the trenches.
Such a scene was not only unacceptable to the Japanese troops on the front line, but even the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army Shantei, Colonel Shinozuka Kunigoro, who was watching the battle from behind, felt a bit like a dream. You must know that in the past, the Chinese army fought against the Imperial Japanese Army with flesh and blood. Steel cannonballs, never thought that one day such treatment would fall on them.
What¡¯s more important is that the artillerymen of that group seemed to have been pumped with blood. They fired continuously for more than ten minutes without stopping. The front positions were plowed by them with artillery shells.
Finally, the bombardment was over. Just when Shinozuka Kunigoro thought that the next moment would be a close encounter, what he didn't expect was that the army that had rushed to the forward position less than 200 meters away actually stopped. Come down, then turn around and retreat!
Withdrawn?
?????????????????? That person actually withdrew?
What's the meaning?
However, what stunned the Japanese commanders even more was that the retreating Chinese troops actually started eating a kilometer away from the forward position!
What operation is this?
The Japanese soldiers were confused and couldn't make up their mind about the national army in front of them. They didn't know what medicine the other side was selling in the gourd.
In addition, the shelling just now caused huge casualties to the front-line troops. Therefore, Colonel Shinozuka Kunigoro did not order the troops to counterattack immediately. Instead, he asked the soldiers to treat the wounded and re-examine the firepower layout of the front-line positions, waiting for the national army. 's next attack.
¡°As everyone knows, at this moment, Zhang Tengjiao has already given the order to retreat to the front-line troops!
Soon, except for the two infantry squadrons used to confuse the Japanese army and serve as rearguards, there were no other troops on the national army's forward positions!
