The Japanese army is coming fiercely and very fast!
On July 19, all units belonging to the 12th Army arrived near the scheduled assembly point.
On that day, the 12th Army directed these troops from Jiaoji Road in the north to Longhai Road in the south, from Jinpu Road in the west to Zhucheng and Rizhao in Jiaodong, in Shandong and Zhong, which is about 280 kilometers long from north to south and 200 kilometers wide from east to west. In the Lunan area, a large-scale sweep was carried out with separate routes and encirclement.
Although the Japanese army mainly attacked the Sulu theater in the Yimeng Mountain area this time, they did not spare the Eighth Route Army, anti-Japanese bandits and various guerrillas in the defense area. The Japanese army tried to wipe out all the anti-Japanese forces in Shandong in one fell swoop.
Because there were more anti-Japanese troops in southern Shandong, the Japanese army not only carried out encirclement during this sweep, but also strengthened the blockade along the railways to prevent the anti-Japanese troops from moving to the north of Jiaoji Road, the west of Jinpu Road, and the south of Longhai Road. area.
Secondly, during the offensive, security and ambush troops were dispatched to major crossings and passages to keep track of the dynamics of the anti-Japanese forces.
※Then the aviation force is ordered to focus on strengthening aerial reconnaissance after the start of the operation and reporting battlefield conditions to the ground in a timely manner for blocking, encirclement and pursuit.
It can be said that the little devils used all the means at their disposal. On the ground were cavalry, cars and tanks, and in the air were airplanes. It was a huge force!
Among these Japanese troops, the Fifth Division stationed in Qingdao is the absolute main force and the fastest-growing unit.
The division attacked southward from the Jiaoji Line. After six days of fighting, it occupied Ju County, about 140 kilometers away from Gaomi, on July 25. The National Army's 51st Army had to retreat after losing some troops.
At the same time, the 10th Independent Mixed Brigade also occupied Yishui, about 80 kilometers south of Linqu that day. The 114th Division, which was attacking eastward from Laiwu, also responded to the main force moving south along the Jiaoji Line. On that day, they captured Nanma, about 50 kilometers to the east.
The Japanese First Cavalry Brigade, which attacked from Xiayi, occupied Tanbu about 60 kilometers northeast on the 24th.
One part of the main force of the 21st Division attacking north from Longhai Road occupied Tangtou Town, about 30 kilometers northeast of Linyi, two days ago and attacked Heyang. The other part occupied Junan County. After Dadian Town, prepare to pursue with the 5th Division towards Rizhao to the east.
When the enemy launched an encirclement attack, in order to resist the enemy and preserve their strength, the anti-Japanese troops in southern Shandong and central Shandong used the favorable terrain in the mountainous areas to maneuver and annihilate the enemy with the cooperation of the people. The main force was divided into several groups. The combat group moved to Rizhao to the east, to the mountains southeast of Fei County in the mountains north of Yishui River and Mengyin, and to break out of the enemy's encirclement.
"However, the Japanese army pursued the Chinese army in a desperate manner, which caused great losses to the troops in the Sulu Theater. The survival of the troops hung on a thread.
Li Guoyao knew about it when the Japanese army attacked the Yimeng Mountain area, but after learning that the Japanese army was not coming for their Shandong Guerrilla Corps, Li Guoyao stopped paying attention and concentrated on dealing with "Yiguandao".
A few days ago, Yiguandao and the Japs dug a hole for the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, using food as bait in order to attract Li Guoyao's troops to take the bait.
How could such a cover-up trick fool Li Guoyao? After receiving the report from the intelligence department, Li Guoyao immediately pointed out that this was a trap set for them by the little devils.
While everyone was thinking about how to crack it, Li Guoyao ordered the special forces to once again go to Dahe Town where Yiguandao was hoarding food, and at the same time ordered three thousand recruits to coordinate their actions.
The battle started that night, and Japanese soldiers from Zaozhuang and many nearby strongholds quickly dispatched to encircle Dahe Town.
But what they didn*t know was that when they rushed towards Dahe Town, Li Guoyao personally commanded three thousand main troops plus a brigade of artillery to launch an attack in Zaozhuang City.
Under the cover of night, more than 4,000 national troops launched an all-out attack on Zaozhuang. The fierce artillery fire kept the defenders of Zaozhuang City in panic all day long.
Although there were more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops in the city, because we didn*t know how many national troops were outside the city, and the artillery fire from Li Guoyao*s command was too fierce, when the artillery attack started, artillery shells continued to hit the city. The Japanese garrison headquarters and military camps were all blown up and turned upside down.
After being shocked, Lieutenant General Kimura Hy身taro in Zaozhuang City did not dare to neglect and ordered the troops outside the city to immediately return to aid Zaozhuang City.
Originally, the Japanese and puppet troops were not far from the "Yiguandao" branch in Dahe Town, and even had a fight with the blocking troops of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps. However, after receiving the order from Kimura Hy身taro, they could only Abandon the mission to encircle Dahe Town, quickly return to aid Zaozhuang City.
At this time, the more than 3,000 Yiguandao disciples in the Dahe Town Yiguandao branch were dumbfounded. The promised reinforcements were gone, and all the national troops were outside the town.
Although they also resisted stubbornly, they were not regular troops in the first place, so how could they be the opponents of Li Guoyao's troops.
After less than an hour of fighting, the fortifications of Dahe Town were breached by the new troops commanded by Zhang Shaolin. Of the more than 3,000 Yiguan Taoists, except for a small number who were killed, the rest were captured in large strides.
In this battle, the Shandong Guerrilla Corps severely damaged Guandao with minimal casualties. In order to cooperate with the Japanese army's actions, Zaozhuang Branch of Yiguandao directly sent one-third of its armed forces to Dahe Town, among which there were two thousand gun-wielding paramedics alone. The rest of them didn't expect to be wiped out in one battle.
After this battle, Yiguandao's armed forces suffered heavy losses. Although they were not uprooted, their vitality was seriously damaged.
More importantly, in order to lure Li Guoyao's troops to take the bait, Yiguandao transported all the grain stored in thirty or forty sub-tanks around Zaozhuang to Dahe Town. In the end, all this grain became the spoils of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps.
According to post-war statistics, the amount of grain transported back from Dahe Town was three to four million kilograms. In order to transport this grain back to Xiong'er Mountain, the Shandong Guerrilla Corps dispatched more than a thousand mules and carriages, and even Chen Jianzhong's The cavalry columns also became transport teams.
And this battle also shocked the idiot Kimura Hy身taro. Even though Li Guoyao's troops withdrew after the main force of the Japanese army returned to aid Zaozhuang City that night, Kimura Hy身taro also realized that he had been fooled.
But after exploring Li Guoyao's position after dawn, they were horrified to find that in front of Li Guoyao's artillery position last night, they saw more than 20 traces of cannon fire, and the shell casings left on the battlefield alone were There are more than four hundred rounds.
Based on these shells, it can be inferred that Li Guoyao's troops used at least 22 imperial-made Type 41 mountain guns last night, which is equivalent to an artillery regiment of the Japanese army that is not full of personnel.
Last night, Li Guoyao's troops fired at least ten tons of ammunition into Zaozhuang City, which is quite rare for the national army, which always lacks sufficient ammunition.
It can be seen that Li Guoyao's command was not just to scare them last night, or to force the Japanese and puppet troops in the direction of Dahe Town to return reinforcements. That terrible general really wanted to take Zaozhuang City.
After making such a discovery, all the senior officers of the 32nd Division, including Kimura Hyotar身, broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, they did not dare to take risks at that time and abandoned the battle plan to encircle Dahe Town. Otherwise, with the strong firepower of the national army, it was very possible to capture Zaozhuang City in one fell swoop last night.
If something like that really happened, they would probably follow in the footsteps of Washizu Senpei and Murata Sadao.
In fact, Li Guoyao did plan this way. If the Japanese army really insisted on attacking Dahe Town, he would command the troops to take over Zaozhuang City and destroy the Japanese and puppet troops in the city plus the Yiguandao Rudder in one fell swoop.
If the Japanese army chooses to return to Zaozhuang, then the fighter planes will no longer exist, and they can evacuate Zaozhuang City after Zhang Shaolin and others are all alive.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Guoyao really hoped that the little devil would see through his "plot" and then remain unmoved and insist on encircling Dahe Town.
But it is a pity that although Kimura Hy身taro is cruel, he is timid and afraid of death. As soon as he senses that something is wrong, he immediately orders the troops to return for reinforcements. He will not take risks for a group of sticks.
No matter what, the Japanese army was defeated again in the second confrontation!
But just when Li Guoyao was about to redouble his efforts and continue to pursue other branches of the "Yiguandao", a telegram from the Sulu Theater Headquarters disrupted Li Guoyao's plan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
