    The Sulu Theater has been suppressed by the Japanese army for the past ten days. Although it has a terrain advantage, the troops are still at an absolute disadvantage due to the gap in strength and firepower.

    The most important thing is that there are many warlord troops in the Sulu Theater, such as Shi Yousan's 69th Army. This army is regarded as Shi Yousan's private army. It does not listen to the orders of the Sulu Theater Headquarters and is timid when fighting.  , so the situation gets worse and worse.

    ¡°However, Li Guoyao¡¯s troops eliminated the three Japanese troops in the northwest direction as soon as they took action, which gave the Sulu War Zone hope of counterattack.

    Subsequently, Commander-in-Chief Yu immediately ordered the 51st Army to be the main force, the 69th Army, the Marine Corps, the 4th Security Brigade and other units to coordinate operations to break through the encirclement northeast of Hongshizhai.

    Due to the sudden incident, an infantry brigade of the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division, which was alone at the front, was caught off guard. More than 400 of the 1,000-man infantry brigade were wiped out and more than 100 were injured. The remaining  The troops retreated in panic.

    Knowing that the Chinese army seemed to be intending to break out of the encirclement to the northeast, the Japanese army was overjoyed and immediately ordered the nearby Fifth Division and the Independent Mixed Tenth Brigade to press forward immediately, making sure to tighten the opening of the encirclement.

    In the eyes of the senior commanders of the 12th Army Headquarters and the North China Front Army Headquarters, the Chinese army is in a hurry and has jumped over the wall. As long as they tighten the hole, the Chinese army in the Yimeng Mountains will collapse.

    However, the fact is that the Chinese army is in no hurry to break out. If it were not for Li Guoyao's order, they would even be able to deal with the Japs in the mountainous area for less than half a month.

    But the Japanese army didn¡¯t know all this. In order to eliminate the Chinese army in the Yimeng Mountain area in one fell swoop, the remaining 10 armies on the front moved towards the Yimeng Mountain area to encircle them.

    However, at this moment, Li Guoyao's troops took action!

    This time Li Guoyao¡¯s target was Mengyin County. According to the intelligence they obtained, Mengyin County was the logistics base of the Japanese independent mixed 10th brigade.

    But now the main force of the 10th independent mixed brigade is not in Mengyin County, but in Dazhuang Town in Yinan. Mengyin County only has one brigade.

    Li Guoyao also had a brief understanding of the situation of this independent mixed 10th Brigade. The brigade was established in Jinan in January 1939. It is affiliated to the 12th Army and is usually stationed in Zouxian County. The brigade commander is Major General Mizuno Nobu.

    Like all Japanese independent mixed brigades, the 10th Brigade also has 5 infantry brigades, plus a small number of technical units. Its combat effectiveness is not strong but not weak either.

    And as expected, this brigade will be expanded into the 59th Division three years later, which is quite inspiring among all the brigades of the Japanese army.

    In order to capture Mengyin County, Li Guoyao decided to send a special force to capture the city gates with a sneak attack, and finally the main force entered the city!

    On the night of August 2, the main force of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps set off from Liancheng Town and arrived at Longzhuang, a few kilometers away from Mengyin County, at ten o'clock in the evening.

    After that, the main force rested in Longzhuang, while the special forces moved towards Mengyin County.

    At eleven o'clock sharp, outside the Japanese guard box at the south gate of Mengyin County, dark shadows approached quickly under the protection of the night.

    At this time, there were only 4 Japanese and puppet soldiers patrolling the post box. The rest were either sleeping in the post box or napping with their guns in hand. The guards were very lax.

    Like the troops stationed in Mongolia, the defenders in Mengyin County did not think that the Chinese army would launch an attack at this time, so they were almost completely unprepared.

    However, the moment the four patrolling Japanese soldiers passed by, four black shadows quickly jumped up from the grass!

    Under the horrified gazes of several Japanese soldiers, the blade quickly slashed across the Japanese's neck. The four Japanese on duty didn't even have time to scream before they saw their Amaterasu.

    Seeing that the other Japs didn't notice their actions, the black shadow quickly made a few gestures behind him, and soon a large number of black figures emerged from the darkness, crawling close to the Japs' duty box and several people at the city gate.  Machine gun position.

    Jump up, cover your mouth, and swing your knife!

    The Japanese defenders were eliminated one by one by the special operations team members in their sleep. A small group of Japanese defenders at the south gate were all killed quietly without making a sound.

    In the small woods outside the city, Li Guoyao saw the flashing searchlight at the city gate and immediately asked: "Did you see the signal on the other side clearly?"

    A special operations team member said hurriedly: "Report to the commander. Three long and one short are the signals of success."

    Li Guoyao said quickly: "Order the troops to move forward quickly and attack the city!"

     "Yes!"

    Following Li Guoyao's order, a large number of cavalry appeared outside Mengyin County and then launched an attack towards the city.

    The whole process went very smoothly. Except for the fierce resistance from the Japanese when attacking the garrison headquarters, other places were taken down with a single charge.

    Post-war statistics show that the siege lasted 47 minutes and captured a county seat, a military camp, an arsenal, an ordnance repair station, and a garrison headquarters, annihilating more than 800 Japanese and puppet troops.

    After conquering Mengyin County, Li Guoyao did not rest. He left a squadron of soldiers to clean the battlefield and collect the loot. At the same time, they put on Japanese military uniforms to confuse the little devils. After that, the main force set out from Mengyin County and headed straight for Yishui County, 70 kilometers away.  .

    Yishui County¡¯s geographical location is relatively important. It is the only way from the Jiaodong Peninsula to Yimeng Mountain, and it is also the logistics base of the Fifth Division.

    The Japanese army has a total of three troops on the northern front, namely the 7,000 cavalry troops stationed in Mongolia, the 6,000 infantry troops of the Japanese 10th Brigade, and more than 20,000 troops of the Fifth Division.

    At present, the troops stationed in Mongolia have been completely wiped out, and the logistics base of the 10th independent mixed brigade has been destroyed. If the logistics base of the fifth division is also destroyed, the operational sustainability of the Japanese army on the northern front will be greatly reduced.

    After all, modern warfare is all about logistics. If the little devil does not have enough weapons, ammunition and supplies, no matter how many troops he has, it will be useless.

    Therefore, after taking over Mengyin County, Lu Dashan and others suggested inserting themselves directly into the back of the 10th independent mixed brigade, and flanking the Japanese soldiers in front and back with the Sulu Theater in an effort to annihilate them all.

    However, this strategic concept was rejected by Li Guoyao. Although annihilating a Japanese mixed brigade could severely damage the Japanese army, the Japanese army could still launch a full-line offensive by relying solely on the Fifth Division, the 114th Division and several other Japanese soldiers.

    " However, if the Japanese army's logistics base is removed, the Japanese army on the front line will not be able to receive large-scale assistance in a short period of time. In order to avoid the total annihilation of the troops, the Japanese army will inevitably withdraw its troops across the board. In this way, the crisis in the Sulu theater will be resolved.

    The Shandong Guerrilla Corps went north to solve the problem, and Li Guoyao didn't care about the rest.

    In the early morning of that night, under the command of Li Guoyao, the troops marched eastward along Jiuzhai and Tanbu. Although the road was full of Jaap strongholds, under Li Guoyao's order, all the troops in the first two brigades were replaced by Japs.  The Japanese soldiers wore standard military uniforms, while the troops behind them wore puppet army uniforms.

Coupled with the fact that the special forces team was clearing the way in front, the road was calm and there were no accidents.

    At six o¡¯clock in the morning, the troops finally arrived at Huangshanpu Town, fifteen kilometers northwest of Yishui County.

    After quietly taking the town of Huangshanpu, Li Guoyao asked the radio operator to use the captured radio station and code book to report to the Japanese garrison stationed in Yishui, saying that the Mongolian army had captured many prisoners of war in the battles of the past few days.  , now the legion headquarters has decided to escort these prisoners of war to Qingdao and send them to Manchuria by boat via Qingdao. The troops escorting the prisoners of war will arrive in Yishui this morning, so the defenders of Yishui County are asked to do a good job of reception.

    In fact, the so-called reception work is to ask the Yishui garrison to prepare some meals and drinks for the troops escorting the prisoners, which is not a troublesome job!

    Therefore, after receiving the telegram from Li Guoyao's command, Yishui garrison commander Shao Zuo Qiu Shan immediately stated that they would be waiting for the arrival of the escort troops at any time.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
