On July 30, the troops arrived near Pingyi County, but Li Guoyao did not take action against the Japanese soldiers in Pingyi County.
Although there were less than 300 enemies in Pingyi County at this time, with the combat effectiveness of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, the county could be captured in one hour at most, but Li Guoyao did not do so.
There are two reasons. One is that it is too close to Xiong'er Mountain. Once Li Guoyao's troops take action, the Japanese army will easily suspect them, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Secondly, the number of Japanese and puppet troops in Pingyi County is too small and it is not worth taking action.
Even if they capture Pingyi County, there will only be a few hundred puppet troops in the city. Their record is too small and it will not have much impact on the overall situation.
Therefore, the troops did not stop at all after passing through Pingyi County, and continued northward, heading straight to Mengyin County, a hundred miles away.
Mengyin is located in the south-central part of Shandong Province, in the hinterland of the Taiyi Mountains and in the shadow of Mengshan Mountain. It is an important logistics base for the Japanese army¡¯s sweep. It is also the location of the general headquarters of the northwest-facing Fifth Route Army.
After two days and two nights of rapid march, at 8 a.m. on the 31st, Li Guoyao arrived in Liancheng Town, Mengyin County, Shandong Province, less than fifteen kilometers away from the county seat.
Liancheng Town is located in the southwest of Mengyin County. It is a small town with a population of less than a thousand people.
However, after investigation by the special forces, Li Guoyao learned that Liancheng Town was very lively at the moment. Although less than a small team of troops was usually stationed here, a cavalry division of the Puppet Mongolian Army was stationed here during this time.
After learning the news, Li Guoyao decided to attack the puppet cavalry division first!
Regarding the puppet cavalry unit that suddenly appeared in Shandong, Li Guoyao also learned about it specifically and knew that it was transferred from the Suicha area and should be affiliated with Li Shouxin's puppet Mongolian army.
This Li Ni can be regarded as a tycoon of his generation. He is an authentic Mongolian. In his early years, he gathered bandits in the north of Rehe under the name of "Xin" and harmed the area. Later, he was recruited by Zhang Lian, who was the leader of the Rehe Guerrilla Cavalry. He served as battalion commander and regiment commander. Zhang, together with Hou Zhang, defected to the Feng clan and were reorganized into the cavalry of the Northeast Frontier Army. Li Shou trusted the cavalry regiment and was stationed in Kailu, Zhili Prefecture, Chifeng, Rehe Province.
Later, Li Ni, under the command of the young marshal, suppressed the Gadamelin uprising.
Later, Zhang Lian was defeated by Song Zheyuan, and most of his troops were led by Li Shouxin. This was the capital for Li Shouxin to start his own business.
But shortly after the September 18th Incident, Li Ni led his troops to surrender to the enemy, but he was not very reused.
After the Anti-Japanese War broke out, although the Japanese army achieved brilliant results and basically captured all coastal cities in China in just six months, the Japanese army paid an extremely heavy price due to the tenacious resistance of the Chinese military and civilians.
With the expansion of the occupied area, the Japanese army's offensive forces became increasingly stretched.
Out of the needs of the war, the Japanese base camp made adjustments to the Japanese invaders. In North China, after the Japanese army occupied the "Mongolian Xinjiang area", in order to quickly transfer the troops belonging to the Kwantung Army back to Manchuria to take on the defense against the Soviet Union and deal with our Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, the 26th Division was established.
After the division was organized, it was affiliated to the Kwantung Army. At this time, considering the overall strategic situation, the Japanese Army decided to use the Kwantung Army to specifically deal with the Soviet Union and the North China Front to specifically deal with China. The area between North China and Northeast my country is the so-called "Manchuria and Mongolia Region" "In addition, special troops were deployed to fill the gap between the Kwantung Army and the North China Front, and at the same time monitor Outer Mongolia, Ningxia, and Suiyuan.
Afterwards, it was officially decided to establish the headquarters of the Corps in Mongolia, which would be directly commanded by the Emperor. The commander's authority would be the same as that of the commander of the Corps.
While re-adjusting the order of battle of the army, the Japanese army also used the captured Kuomintang troops to organize a large number of puppet troops, and also formed a large number of cavalry puppet troops in Chahar and Suiyuan provinces.
During this period, because Li Shouxin had surrendered to the enemy for a long time and was "loyal", he gained the trust of Lieutenant General Hasuma Pan, the commander of the Mongolian Army, and was ordered to form the Puppet Mongolian Army.
With several years of development, this pseudo-Mongolian army is now a cavalry group with multiple cavalry divisions under its jurisdiction. Its total strength is almost as many as the Japanese army in the Sucha area, and it is very powerful.
When he learned that there was actually a cavalry division of the Puppet Mongolian Army stationed in Liancheng Town, Li Guoyao couldn't hold himself back. This was a cavalry division!
As long as this cavalry division is killed, the Japanese army will lose one of the 13 lines of encirclement and suppression, and the encirclement circle will not be complete.
Of course, there is another very important reason why Li Guoyao wanted to take action when he learned that the Puppet Mongolian Army was stationed in Liancheng Town, and that was that the Puppet Mongolian Army was easy to attack!
"It doesn't matter what his name is, as long as he is a puppet soldier"?The combat effectiveness is worrying!
This Pseudo-Mongolian Army is no exception. Most of the soldiers are composed of former Kuomintang prisoners. The backbone is the Mongolian cavalry under Li Shouxin and the Japanese military advisers. There are usually no battles to fight. That is, they can snatch passing merchants and merchants in the pastoral areas. Disobedient herdsmen are absolutely soft persimmons.
In addition, because it is a cavalry division, it does not have many troops. When the Japanese form a puppet army, they often have a terrifyingly large establishment, but the actual number of troops is pitifully small. The same goes for the puppet Mongolian army.
Although on the surface this force has more than ten cavalry divisions, in fact one division has less than 3,000 men, and it is less than half the strength of a second-rate infantry division like the local army of the national army.
For example, the Fourth Pseudo Cavalry Division stationed in Liancheng Town. After investigation, it was found that this division has been established for more than a year, but the total number of soldiers is only more than 2,500, which is only comparable to that of the Far National Army. A reinforced infantry regiment.
Despite this, this puppet army still makes Li Guoyao drool!
You must know that these two thousand and five hundred people are all cavalry. Each soldier is equipped with a war horse as standard. In addition, there are many pack horses in the army, used to carry ammunition and heavy weapons. Counting this, the fourth pseudo-cavalry division He has at least three thousand war horses on hand.
"As long as this puppet army is taken down, Li Guoyao's thousands of people will be able to have one horse per man, and the speed of action will be much faster than now.
In addition, Li Shouxin was one of the earliest traitors to follow the Japanese, even earlier than the senior traitor Yin Rugeng, who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, so the Japanese army trusted this person very much. The equipment of the entire puppet Mongolian army was also specially approved by the Japanese army. The entire army was equipped with Japanese-made Type 44 lances and crooked light machine guns.
In terms of firepower, the puppet Mongolian army is definitely unique among the hundreds of thousands of puppet troops in China. Even the National Defense Force of the puppet Manchukuo in the northeast is inferior.
??Looking at it this way, the puppet Mongolian army is definitely a money-giving boy. If Li Guoyao doesn't hit him, who will he hit?
After determining the combat target, Li Guoyao formulated a combat plan!
In order to completely kill this puppet cavalry in one fell swoop, Li Guoyao even personally led people to survey the terrain near Liancheng Town, and took the risk of dressing up as a beggar and entering Liancheng Town to observe it up close.
Soon he discovered that this puppet army was actually the same as the puppet army in Shandong. Their ferocity was displayed on their faces and they were for ordinary people. They still nodded and bowed when they saw the little devil.
As for the Japanese military advisers, they came and left as soon as they were summoned. When they were angry, they were just a few loudmouths. The beaten puppet soldiers did not dare to let out a single fart and could only repeat it over and over again. "Hai" or "Taijun calm down" has no backbone or dignity.
"But it's right to think about it. Those who really have the backbone and dignity will do this, and only those weaklings will think of being traitors.
After making this discovery, a bold plan emerged in Li Guoyao's mind. He would capture the fourth pseudo-Mongolian cavalry without firing a single shot or even alerting the Japanese troops in Mengyin County. division. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
