    With the cooperation of Takashi Moriichi, Li Guoyao had a comprehensive understanding of the Japanese army's battle plan to besiege the Sulu theater.

    In this battle, the Japanese army concentrated more than 80,000 troops. They planned to form a huge encirclement outside the Sulu theater first. They have already completed this step. Next, the Japanese and puppet troops will divide and encircle the Yimeng Mountain area, and then clear it piece by piece until  Destroy all Chinese troops.

    So far, the Japanese army has captured Yishui, Yinan, Juxian, Wulian and other counties. Almost all the larger towns in southern Shandong have been captured. Some of the main forces in the Sulu theater have broken through, but most of them are still surrounded in the mountainous areas.

    At present, the Japanese army has encircled the Sulu Theater in pieces. The 57th Army is surrounded in Tianmeng Mountain, while the headquarters of the Sulu Theater and the 51st Army and other units are surrounded in Hongshizhai.

    According to the plans of the Japanese troops, they will attack Tianmeng Mountain and Hongshizhai in the next two days. Without the appearance of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, it would be difficult for the Sulu Theater to repel the Japanese attack with its own strength alone.  .

    After having a clear understanding of the overall situation, Li Guoyao immediately made a decision to start from Mengyin and fight all the way along Yishui, Yinan and other places, completely stealing the Japanese army's retreat.

    "Of course, Li Guoyao's command alone cannot do it. This requires the assistance of the Sulu Theater.

    ¡° Then Li Guoyao immediately ordered people to contact the Sulu Theater Headquarters, asking them to take the initiative, make a breakout posture, and attract the main force of the Japanese army to the front line of Hongshizhai. As for other things, they did not need to worry about it. The Shandong Guerrilla Corps would solve it for them.

    Then, Li Guoyao and others held a meeting again to formulate a battle plan!

    After the meeting, Li Guoyao ordered Gu Mingtang to immediately gather all the puppet troops and select all available soldiers to add to the army. Then the whole army rested for the whole morning and prepared to attack Mengyin County in the evening.

    After a morning of screening, Gu Mingtang selected 3,100 people from more than 4,300 puppet army prisoners. Subsequently, these people did not receive any ideological education, let alone any transformation, and were directly supplemented by Li Guoyao.  The frontline troops of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps.

    Among them, the 1,500 people of the third cavalry brigade that Gu Mingtang was responsible for forming were all puppet troops, and the rest were randomly organized and replenished to various units.

    Lu Dashan, Zhang Hao, Lu Ding'an, Zhang Shaolin and others were all very worried about Li Guoyao's bold behavior. You must know that most of the puppet troops are spineless weaklings. It is okay to fight with the wind, but they will immediately give up if they encounter hard problems.  .

    ¡° Adding these people to the front-line troops will not only not improve the combat capabilities of the troops, but will even hinder them at critical times.

    You must know that people are blindly obedient. Once a deserter appears in an army, there may be a second one, or even the nth one.

    Everyone persuaded Li Guoyao not to take risks. Anyway, a captive was deserved, and a group was the same.

    But Li Guoyao overcame all opinions and incorporated all the puppet soldiers selected by Gu Mingtang into the front-line troops!

    In fact, Li Guoyao also knew that everyone's concerns were justified, but he knew better that these puppet troops were not unavailable.

    The military organization of the puppet army is actually very special. It is a military armed force composed of traitors. It is the product of Japan's policy of "using China to control China, divide and rule", and is the pillar on which the puppet regime relies.

    In order to make up for the lack of military power, the Japanese organized a large number of puppet troops. They were established under the supervision of the Japanese army and served and were controlled by the Japanese occupying forces. However, they were not trusted and were not reused. They belonged to the bellows.  The rat is getting angry from both ends.

    Therefore, Li Guoyao believed that these puppet soldiers did not really follow the Japanese. After all, as Chinese people, everyone can stand up straight, but as puppet soldiers, they can only humble themselves and act like dogs to the Japanese. How to choose should not be a problem.

    But the reason why so many people still treat the Japanese as dogs is because of the many factors in today's Chinese society that are the result of external forces.

    As far as the external environment is concerned, it is the product of Japanese imperialism's invasion of China and the need for them to plan and implement the policy of using China to contain China. China has a vast territory and a large population. It is not easy to completely subdue China militarily. In order to make up for its shortcomings, Japan has fully  It uses the resources of the occupied areas to cover up the face of its aggression, softens, divides and dispels the Chinese people's consciousness of resistance, and deliberately uses the traitors it has fostered to serve it.

    Furthermore, since modern times, China¡¯s resistance to aggression by foreign powers has been met with repeated defeats. Due to the economic and military strength of the great powers and China¡¯s backwardness, the pessimism of national defeatism is very popular.

    China¡¯s economic backwardnessThe poverty of life has led many people to join the puppet army as a means of making a living.  "A good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not be a soldier." The purpose of becoming a soldier is to earn a living.

    Due to livelihood constraints, many ordinary people had to serve the Japanese army in the Japanese-occupied areas, or make a living by joining the puppet army.

    But it is worth noting that traitors are not born traitors, nor do they all look like those in movies and TV shows with sharp mouths, monkey cheeks, hats on one side, cannons slung across their bodies, and "imperial troops" in their mouths. This really underestimates the level of traitors.

    Therefore, the traitors and puppet soldiers cannot be beaten to death at once, they must be given a chance to change their ways!

    What's more important is that Li Guoyao and others were not prepared to accept prisoners at all this time, but they captured so many Japanese and puppet troops by surprise. The total number of Japanese and puppet troops was more than their total strength. If they didn't take most of them,  The puppet troops were integrated, and just guarding these prisoners would take up half of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps.

    What can the remaining two or three thousand people do?

    After thinking again and again, Li Guoyao finally decided to take a bold try and collect most of the puppet troops. The remaining more than a thousand puppet soldiers who could not be collected were detained together with the Japanese soldiers. In this way, their available troops increased to more than 8,000 people.  .

    This is the most feasible way to get rid of a small group responsible for guarding the prisoners and the rest of the main force to continue fighting.

    Of course, Li Guoyao had other considerations for doing this, but it¡¯s just not convenient to talk to everyone for the time being!

    Seeing that Li Guoyao was determined, everyone said no more. It was getting dark soon, and it was time to prepare for the attack on Mengyin County at night.

    By the way, while Li Guoyao's troops were busy preparing to attack Mengyin County, the Sulu Theater Headquarters in Hongshizhai was in trouble.

    Originally, when Li Guoyao agreed to go north for reinforcements, everyone was very happy. In their deduction, Li Guoyao's troops were most likely to go out from the northeast of Xiong'er Mountain and directly attack the Japanese troops in Fei County and Pingyi, forcing the main force of the Japanese army to return for reinforcements. In this way  This will open a hole in the Japanese encirclement.

    Or Li Guoyao¡¯s troops would directly send troops to Lanling to attack Linyi, just like how they helped the Shandong Guerrilla Corps in the Sulu War Zone before!

    However, there was no movement on the southern and western fronts for several days, which made the Sulu Theater Headquarters a little anxious. Some people with ulterior motives even publicly claimed that the Shandong Guerrilla Corps was perfunctory and had no intention of reinforcing them.  Headquarters.

    However, just as everyone was arguing endlessly, a telegram from the Shandong Guerrilla Corps was sent!

    When these senior generals at the Sulu Theater Headquarters learned that the Shandong Guerrilla Corps had sent troops northward and annihilated a Japanese cavalry brigade and two puppet cavalry divisions overnight, wiping out more than 7,000 Japanese and puppet troops, all  Everyone was shocked.

    ¡° Could it be that the little Japs were fooled? So many people were killed in just one night, but the Sulu Theater Headquarters didn¡¯t hear any news at all. It¡¯s so weird!

    Or is it that the Shandong Guerrilla Corps is full of magic soldiers and generals, capable of turning clouds and rain with their hands?

    But some people suspected that Li Guoyao and others were joking with them, or simply lying about their military exploits, but Commander-in-Chief Yu thought it was unlikely.

    Although Commander-in-Chief Yu has never met Li Guoyao, he has heard about that young man and knows that he is not that kind of person.

    Therefore, when they saw Li Guoyao asking them to cooperate with the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, they did not hesitate at all and directly ordered the staff to formulate a combat plan.

    In this case, the Chinese army¡¯s counterattack began!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
