    The fighting on the southern front was in full swing. When the National Army¡¯s 38th Group Army counterattacked towards Kunlun Pass, the enemy¡¯s 5th Division tried to break the siege in various ways.

    First, the 21st Army Corps ordered the 9th Brigade, which attacked Longzhou and Zhennanguan, to return to Nanning to strengthen the defense forces of Nanning and Kunlun Pass.  But when the brigade returned in more than 100 vehicles, the 131st Division and the 188th Division of the 31st Army of the National Army Wei Yunsong had once again destroyed the road and carried out blockades along the way. The enemy's 9th Brigade desperately attacked and advanced.

    The 5th Division also dispatched the 2nd Brigade of the 11th Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Toyoharu Muta, and two machine gun squads, starting from Nanning and advancing through Suwei to meet the 9th Brigade.  After many battles, the 9th Brigade finally returned to Nanning.

    Secondly, the 21st Army Headquarters ordered the 41st Regiment guarding Nanning City to attack the National Army positions at the Gaofeng Pass north of Nanning in a roundabout way to cope with the attack from the direction of Kunlun Pass and reduce the threat to the north of Nanning.

    Once again, continue to mobilize Taiwan¡¯s mixed brigade troops in the Qinzhou area to provide reinforcements in the direction of Jiutang and Kunlun Pass.  After the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Taiwan Brigade was transferred to the Jiutang area, the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Taiwan Brigade was then transferred to the battlefield.

    The regiment was led by its commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, and arrived at Qitang in the northeast of Nanning to join the defense of the area. It was under the command of the 42nd regiment commander Sakata Motoichi. At this time, 4 infantry regiments had been concentrated in the area, 1  A cavalry regiment.

    In addition, the enemy¡¯s 21st Army sent the 82nd Squadron of reconnaissance aircraft and the 84th Fighter Squadron to Nanning to coordinate and cooperate with the defense of the 5th Division.

    For the enemy in the Kunlun Pass area, the National Army's 38th Group Army first surrounded them and gradually compressed them inward. Then they used fierce artillery fire to kill and destroy their effective forces, and then used tanks and artillery to cover the infantry and rush to kill them.

    In the middle, the enemy's 42nd Regiment and Taiwan's 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments broke into the encirclement and increased their defensive strength, thus prolonging the encirclement and suppression operations of the 38th Group Army.

    After a week of bloody fighting, the Japanese troops stationed on the mountains south, west and north of Kunlun Pass had their positions reduced to a very small size.

    After the Japanese Shikachi Wataru "Anti-War Alliance" team conducted anti-war propaganda in Japanese through loudspeakers to the 21st and 42nd regiments guarding the top of the mountain, the 38th Group Army finally encircled and annihilated the enemies in the area from three sides.  , after fierce attacks by tanks, artillery, air force, and finally the infantry attacked in separate groups, they finally annihilated most of the Japanese troops stationed in the area and recovered the Kunlun Pass.

    The defeated Japanese army dug out three field guns that had been buried in the ground and brought them to Jiutang.  Subsequently, the national army continued to attack Jiutang and finally recovered Jiutang.

    When the fighting at Kunlun Pass was tense, the enemy's 21st Army in Guangzhou, the Chinese Dispatch Force, and the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters were extremely worried about this. The commander of the 21st Army, Ando Rikichi, advocated that the troops of the 5th Division should withdraw 30 to 40 kilometers from Kunlun Pass.  , and the troops in Nanning were relatively concentrated for defense.

    In this regard, the Japanese military base camp and the Chinese dispatched troops believe that this measure is appropriate.

    Subsequently, Lieutenant Colonel Akiko Arao, the operational squad leader of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, Major General Sosaku Suzuki, the deputy chief of staff of the China Expeditionary Force, and two staff officers, Colonel Kenr¨­ Sato, the deputy chief of staff of the 21st Army, and Takeko Fujiwara, the operational director, flew to Nanning to understand the situation of the war.  and research strategies.

    First, Sato Kenr¨­ informed Ando Toshiyoshi¡¯s 5th Division to retreat 30 to 40 kilometers to conduct concentrated defense, and that since it would take a long time to transport troops by ship, a counterattack could not be organized until about a month.

    What surprised the staff members of the Japanese military leadership was that although the situation was urgent, the commander of the 5th Division, Jun Imamura, was not confused. He advocated that the troops should remain on the spot and not retreat.

    The reason is that retreat means failure, which will have a great shock to the 5th Division, for one.

    Secondly, if the Japanese army retreats to organize defense, the Chinese army will also concentrate its forces to organize a multi-layered encirclement, and the number will be far greater than the Japanese army, which will be even more disadvantageous.

    According to Imamura Jun's opinion, Sato, Suzuki, Arao and others immediately flew back to Guangzhou. Soon the 21st Army sent the following telegram to the 5th Division: "The Corps Headquarters decided to deploy additional troops to Nanning to annihilate the mass in the Nanning area.  enemy forces. The 5th Division still secures Nanning and nearby key areas to facilitate the operations of newly arrived troops."

    The "additional troops" mentioned by the 21st Army in the above telegram refer to the 18th Division and the Guards Mixed Brigade that were fighting against Yu Hanmou's 12th Group Army in the Wengcheng and Yingde areas north of Guangzhou at that time.

    In order to ensure that the Guangzhou area can maintain corresponding defense strength after the 18th Division and the Guards Mixed Brigade are transferred to Nanning, the China Dispatch Army decided to transfer the 106th Division, which was preparing to return to China for demobilization in Jiujiang, to Guangzhou and temporarily assign it to the No.  Commanded by the 21st Army.

    In order to fight in Nanning, the Japanese army used 12 car squadrons to transport supplies between Qinzhou and Nanning day and night.  In order to deal with the 31st Army and 4th Army of the National Army,The First Division of the Sixth Army destroyed and attacked the highway. The enemy's 5th Division organized a mobile road protection force and used aerial reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets to coordinate patrols.

    After some preparations, the predetermined amount of supplies was finally shipped to Nanning.  , and then reinforcements from various units began to gather in Nanning!

    But these are all things for later. When the news that the Fifth Army completely wiped out the Japanese 21st Brigade at Kunlun Pass and killed its brigade leader, Major General Masao Nakamura, was sent back to the rear, the main force of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps in the Sulu Theater of the National Army went north to make a surprise attack.  In Jining City, more than 5,000 enemy troops were annihilated, including one Japanese colonel and 19 officers below the rank of lieutenant colonel. The victory report was also reported to the Military Commission via the Sulu Theater Headquarters.

    "Double victory in one day, more than 6,000 enemies were wiped out in the Battle of Kunlun Pass, and more than 5,000 enemies were wiped out in the Great Victory of Jining. Such a great victory has not been seen by the National Government for a long time.

    After receiving the good news, the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately held a press conference in Chongqing to report the situation on a large scale.

    Of course, some rewards are indispensable, but as before, the rewards for Li Guoyao's department are mainly virtual. There is no shortage of medals or honorary titles, but only supplements and expansions are the same.  No.

    The only real benefit was that the Military Commission ordered the Sulu Theater Zone to mobilize 3,000 long guns and 1 million rounds of ammunition for the Shandong Guerrilla Corps. Yu Xuezhong was obviously a little bit embarrassed, and also allocated 24 light and heavy machine guns and 24 light and heavy machine guns to Li Guoyao's headquarters.  Eight guns.

    Although the Sulu War Zone is a guerrilla war zone and is surrounded by enemies, after nearly a year of development, the Sulu War Zone has established a firm foothold in the southern Shandong Mountains.

    The areas currently under the direct command and control of the Sulu War Zone include many towns and villages in Yishui, Anqiu and Ju County, with a jurisdiction area of ??more than 200 miles.

    Due to the unity of the army and the people, sharing the same hatred of the enemy, resisting the enemy and resisting insults, a situation of stable development was created.  In addition to resting, replenishing and training the regular army, the Sulu Theater also reorganized and trained the local anti-Japanese troops and the puppet troops anyway, and also opened larger arsenals and clothing factories.

    The arsenal in the Sulu theater can not only repair firearms and manufacture grenades, artillery shells, etc., but also manufacture light machine guns and mortars, which is much better than Li Guoyao's department.

    Due to the continuous harassment and attacks by the Japanese army, although Li Guoyao's department also built an arsenal, it did not have much production capacity.

    In addition, the Sulu War Zone has also made great achievements in publicity and education. Not only does the political work brigade often perform anti-Japanese war dramas and teach singing of national salvation songs, but it also founded the "Zhenzhong Daily", which insists on publishing daily and extensively reports domestic and foreign news.  Boost morale.  The headquarters also supported and assisted local education experts and established the No. 8 Provincial United Middle School and Shandong Provisional Political College in Anqiu Nanlu and Jiamengdianzi.

    In terms of military and political training, the Sulu Theater also established the Sulu Theater Cadre Training Group in Tianqingwang Village, Yishui. It consists of the Political Department, the Education Department, the Secretariat and the Adjutant's Department, etc., which are directly responsible for management and training. It has an officer brigade,  There are roving cadre classes, medical classes and munitions classes, as well as senior combat personnel training classes, etc., which regularly train cadres of the regular army and guerrilla forces in order to improve their quality.

    Because the Lusu War Zone is a war zone behind enemy lines, this is equivalent to turning the enemy's rear into the front line of resistance against Japan. It is constantly developing and growing, seriously threatening the enemy's security.  The enemy's main transportation lifelines - the three railway trunk lines of Jiaoji Line, Jinpu Line and Longhai Line, as well as the Taiwei Highway trunk line running through southern Shandong, may be cut off at any time.

    Because of this, the Nationalist Government paid a lot of attention to the Sulu Theater, and even Li Guoyao's almost abandoned unit also came into Shangfeng's sight again.

    But Li Guoyao and others didn't care at all. At this time, they were still thinking about how to expand their results!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
