    There are not many Japanese troops in Jining City at this time. The full force is less than 800, but there are two brigades of nearly 6,000 puppet troops, both of which are local security brigades in Shandong.

    When the battle started, the two security brigades were instantly overwhelmed. Chinese troops actually attacked the city. Isn¡¯t this a joke?

    You must know that in their opinion, there are more than 10,000 defenders in the city. Even Jinan may not have such a large number of defenders. If someone attacks here, it is really like knocking eggs on rocks.

    However, before they could assemble, they heard intensive gunshots rang out in the city, first from the direction of the city gate, and then from the garrison headquarters.

    The city is broken?

    Everyone was stunned. Even the Japanese army had to spend a lot of effort to conquer such an important city like Jining. But now it was captured by the opponent in just ten minutes. Who was the elite of the national army?  !

    After being shocked, these puppet troops were faced with two choices. One was to join the battle group and cooperate with the Japanese army to defend Jining City, and the other was to immediately leave the city from another city gate to break out of the siege.

    Although all the Japanese advisers were yelling and ordering the puppet troops to assemble immediately and then reinforce the Japanese troops in the city, these puppet troops almost did not hesitate and all fled towards the north gate of Jining.

    Because the puppet troops withdrew quickly, although Li Guoyao's troops also entered the city later, they only eliminated a few hundred Japanese soldiers, and only intercepted more than a thousand puppet troops, while the remaining thousands of people fled.

    The battle started at 5:50 and ended at 6:15. Li Guoyao's troops easily captured Jining City under the garrison of 6,000 to 7,000 puppet troops.

    At this time, it was already dark, and Li Guoyao did not bother to rest. He ordered the troops to immediately control various important departments in Jining. At the same time, they confiscated the warehouses and various properties controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops in the city, and suppressed the traitorous landlords.

    In addition, Li Guoyao also ordered the troops to set up recruitment points on the streets to recruit troops on the spot!

    Jinan City. Headquarters of the Japanese 12th Army.

    The atmosphere here was extremely tense at this time. All the mid-level and senior officers, including the commander of the 12th Army, Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo, gathered in the combat command room and stared closely at the combat map spread out on the table.

    Jining City was suddenly breached and news of the complete defeat of the defenders had reached Jinan City, which greatly shocked the 12th Army Headquarters.

    Jining City is located directly south of Jinan, with a straight-line distance of less than 200 kilometers. If you march quickly, you can reach it in two days at most.

    More importantly, there is no important place between Jinan and Jining that can be garrisoned. Once the troops go north to attack Jinan, the consequences will be disastrous!

    In addition, there is no news at all about the main force of the Imperial Japanese Army stationed in Jining, which makes Odaka Kamezo and others not sure what to do!

    Fortunately, it was already dawn, and the aviation force could be dispatched. Then Odaka Kamezo immediately ordered the planes of the temporary aviation regiment at the airport outside the city to take off immediately, and then headed to Jining City for reconnaissance. At the same time, a small number of ground troops were dispatched for reconnaissance and search.

    It had been more than an hour since the plane took off, and everyone was nervously waiting for the news.

    "Ring ring ring"

    The phone on the table suddenly rang, and the harsh ringing woke up everyone in the headquarters!

    Otaka Kamezo didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly picked up the phone and said: "Moxi Moxi, this is Otaka Kamezo!"

    "Your Excellency, Commander, his humble position is Okazaki Shinjiro of the Provisional Aviation Reconnaissance Squadron. The pilot who just went to conduct reconnaissance came back and reported that the plane saw a large number of dead bodies on the road more than ten miles west of Zoucheng County. These dead bodies  They are all wearing imperial army uniforms."

    "Nani, are you sure?" Odaka Kamezo asked in confusion.

    "Hai, it's absolutely true! In addition, the aviation force also flew over Jining for reconnaissance and found that there were no traces of the battle there. It is obvious that the battle is over! And the imperial rising sun flag flying at the top of the city has also disappeared!"

    "idiot!"

    After listening to the situation reported back by the aviation corps, Odaka Kamezo could only yell out a Japanese national curse, and in the end he could only become a little depressed.

    Ogao Kamezo's mood at this time can only be described as shocked and chilling. What was shocking was that in just one night, Jining's tens of thousands of troops were defeated by the opponent. This is really unbelievable.

    He knew Jining's garrison well. Although they were not the most elite, they were not the worst either. In terms of the overall quality and fighting will of the soldiers, I am afraid they could rank among the upper-middle-class among all second-line garrison troops.  wait.

    In addition, their commander, Colonel Sasaki, is also a very good person.?A smart guy who has his own mind in fighting will never be wiped out overnight.

    Although he didn¡¯t dare to believe it, or he didn¡¯t want to believe it to be more accurate, Odaka Kamezo did not dare to neglect it, because now it was not just a matter of the fall of Jining City, it was also related to the life and death of the Shantung Army of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    First of all, Jining is the logistics base for various troops in southern Shandong and a transfer station for soldiers. Once it is captured by the Chinese army, it will definitely be catastrophic news for the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line in Zaozhuang.

    Secondly, the Chinese army was able to capture Jining silently, which shows that the opponent has a large number of troops and does not rule out the opponent's intention to attack Jinan.

    At this time, the garrison troops in Jinan City only had two infantry brigades that were not full. Once the army moved north, the pressure on the troops in Chengli, Jinan would be huge.

    As a last resort, Otaka Kamezo could only order all the Japanese and puppet troops behind the front line to immediately shrink their forces, and at the same time report the situation to the North China Front Army Headquarters.

    After receiving the news, Commander of the North China Front Army Tada Shun was shocked.

    ??Tada Jun is a rare China expert among the Japanese army. Since he stayed in China for a long time and even served as a military consultant in Peiping and Manchukuo, this person has a very thorough understanding of China's national conditions.

    Unlike the ambitious people such as Juichi Terauchi, Kanji Ishihara, and Seishiro Itagaki, Shun Tada believes that Japan should not invade China. Even if it is temporarily forced to invade, peace should be the priority as soon as possible.

    After receiving the report from the 12th Army Headquarters, Tada Shun was not angry. Although the loss of more than 4,000 elites was a big blow to the 12th Army, it was not a big blow.

    What he wants to find out most now is where this army comes from, how many troops it has, how strong its combat effectiveness is, and what its next move will be!

    At the same time, Shun Tada highly praised Odaka Kamezo for promptly ordering the troops to retreat and shrink their forces. The choice at this time is very important. If the fight continues according to the original plan, it may not end.

    ¡°Subsequently, Tada Shun immediately ordered all the special high-tech companies to be dispersed. It was necessary to find out which army captured Jining City and how many troops the opponent had?

    At the same time, Tada Shun also ordered the Japanese and puppet troops in Tai'an, Heze, Liaocheng and other places to immediately gather and be ready to recapture Jining at any time.

    Of course, these alone are not enough. The Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong have been greatly reduced, which has seriously affected the overall planning of the 12th Army. Therefore, Tada Shun decided to add another division to Shandong.

    After receiving Shun Tada¡¯s reply, Odaka Kamezo breathed a sigh of relief, but that was all.

    The current situation in the direction of Jining is very serious. Regardless of whether the troops in Jining City go north to attack Jinan or go south to attack the Japanese troops in Shanting and other places, they will have a major impact on the units of the 12th Army, and may even lead to the destruction of the Zaozhuang front line.  The 20,000 Japanese Imperial Army was completely wiped out.

    Once something like this happens, the consequences will be disastrous for the North China Front Army, which is already stretched thin.

    In desperation, the commander of the 12th Army, Odaka Kamezo, had no choice but to issue an order to the Japanese troops in the direction of Xuzhou, asking them to immediately gather forces and advance towards the Zaozhuang front line to ensure the safety of the Japanese troops on the Zaozhuang front line.

    As a result, the Japanese army in Xuzhou had to shrink back the garrison in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui, which produced a series of chain reactions.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
