When the signal flare was launched into the sky, Li Guoyao¡¯s expression changed!
¡°Obviously, these signal flares were pointed out by the Japs to the bombers. Soon, with the place where the signal flares were launched as the center, all the surrounding areas will be listed as bombing targets by the Japs¡¯ fighter planes.
At this time, Zhang Shaolin and others were in that area. Once the Japs carried out indiscriminate bombing, they would be in danger.
Sure enough, just as Li Guoyao expected, after seeing the signal flares, these Japanese fighter planes rushed down like sharks that smelled the smell of blood.
Immediately afterwards, the belly of the plane opened, and heavy aerial bombs fell from the sky, falling straight towards the mountains and forests below.
There were a total of 12 Japanese bombers. Before one fighter plane was finished, other fighters followed, and the aerial bombs seemed to be free of charge, one after another!
With the crazy bombing by Japanese fighter planes, violent explosions also sounded in the mountains and forests below!
It is now autumn and winter, and most of the grass and trees on the mountain have withered and turned yellow. In addition, since the beginning of winter, there has only been a light snowfall in southwestern Shandong, which has long since melted, so the grass and trees are basically left alone.
And many of the bombs dropped by the little devils included gasoline and incendiary bombs, so soon a raging fire broke out in the forest!
Shockedangry
Li Guoyao knew that although he had tricked the little devil once, he had also been tricked once. He just hoped that Zhang Shaolin and others could retreat in time, otherwise, they might suffer a loss in this special battle.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Once the wildfire spreads, the consequences will be disastrous. Sometimes manpower is really pale in the face of natural disasters!
Li Guoyao immediately ordered people to give orders to the nearby troops. Both the special operations team members on Jinshan Mountain and the troops responsible for blocking the attack all retreated. The main force assembled towards Xiaozhouzhuang, southwest of Jinshan Mountain.
Li Guoyao did not come down the mountain for twenty minutes after the order was issued. He was waiting for Zhang Shaolin and others.
As the earliest right-hand man who followed him to fight the Japanese, Zhang Shaolin's status in Li Guoyao's heart was no worse than that of Wang Zhanhai, Xu Hu, Ma Desheng and others. He really didn't want such a strong general to die in this little-known place.
Fortunately, Zhang Shaolin did not betray Li Guoyao's trust. Just when Li Guoyao was about to despair, he rushed out of the sea of ????fire with more than 20 special forces members.
The moment he saw Li Guoyao, Zhang Shaolin burst into tears with unspeakable sadness in his voice: "Commander brothers are all finished all done"
Looking at the two dozen remnant soldiers behind Zhang Shaolin, Li Guoyao was also heartbroken. At first, he judged that the special forces of the Japs might split up into multiple groups to attack his headquarters, so he ordered Zhang Shaolin to lead a reinforced team into the woods. ambush.
There were more than 60 people there, but now only more than 20 people have come back, and basically everyone is injured.
At least thirty-five-six people died in this jungle. Such losses may be nothing to ordinary field troops, but for the special operations team, it is absolutely unbearable pain.
Li Guoyao patted Zhang Shaolin on the shoulder, gritted his teeth and said: "If the earthen pot is not broken far from the wellhead, the general will inevitably die in battle. Since you have put on this military uniform, you have to pledge yourself to the country. Death is the inevitable destination, brothers." A well-deserved death! But we cannot collapse. Those who are alive must avenge our brothers. Remember this revenge for me, and we must pay for it with blood!"
"eye for eye!"
"eye for eye!"
Instructing everyone to be quiet, Li Guoyao said again: "It is not appropriate to stay here any longer, everyone must move immediately!"
"yes!"
One hour after Li Guoyao's troops evacuated Jinshan, the Qiu Shan brigade from the direction of Juye and the Japanese army from the direction of Jining finally met at the foot of Jinshan. However, at this time, there were raging fires everywhere on Jinshan. The little Japanese could only stare at the fire in a daze, unable to do anything. Go up the mountain.
Neither Chutaro Shimizu nor Li Guoyao expected that this battle would end like this!
But in general, Li Guoyao's troops took advantage of this battle, but neither Li Guoyao nor others were very satisfied with the results of this battle.
The main reason is that the losses of the special forces this time were too great. In this battle, more than 112 members of the special forces plus the guard were killed and 69 injured, accounting for almost a quarter of the total special forces of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps. .
Of course, compared to the dissatisfaction of Li Guoyao and others, the Japanese army was nakedly angry!
??Originally, Oga Kamezo and others thought they were a lion fighting a hare, and felt that?Four infantry brigades plus Ch¨±taro Shimizu's command are not easy to capture against a mere small force.
As a result, in less than two days, all four armies were wiped out and two were severely damaged. Only the troops in Chengwu County successfully withdrew, with a direct loss of more than 2,500 soldiers.
That¡¯s all, Shimizu Chutaro¡¯s troops also suffered heavy losses. One of the three teams was wiped out, and the remaining two retreated in panic, failing to complete the planned combat objectives.
When the news reached Jinan, Odaka Kamezo and others fell silent!
Such a result is completely unacceptable to them. It is known that the national army did not use many troops in this battle, probably less than 5,000, but the final result left them speechless.
This is not only a tactical failure, but what is reflected behind it is even more frightening!
If you think about it, you will know that since the Imperial Japanese Army started the war two years ago, although there may be losses on local battlefields, overall it still has an absolute advantage, especially when the troops are of the same strength, the Imperial Japanese Army The army was almost never defeated.
But this time they were defeated, and they were defeated miserably. This did not mean to tell others that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army had declined.
Therefore, almost on the day when the telegram was sent to Jinan City, Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo, after asking Lieutenant General Tada Shun for instructions, decided to immediately increase troops to the southwest of Shandong. It was necessary to contain the movements of the Chinese army on the battlefield in southwest Shandong.
But Li Guoyao did not give them time to prepare. After retreating to Xiaozhouzhuang, Li Guoyao immediately gave instructions and ordered all the troops of the three columns to immediately assemble to southwest Shandong.
At the same time, after the troops on the front line captured Peixian and Fengxian, they immediately divided into two groups. Li Bing and Zhao Wenshan's troops went south to attack Shanxian, while the three columns and three brigade commanded by Wu Tiancheng set out from Fengxian to attack Chengdu. Wu County.
The Second Brigade of the Third Column was ordered to go north to Xiaozhouzhuang to join Li Guoyao and others.
After receiving Li Guoyao's order, the commander of the third column Wen Debiao, deputy commander Gao Hu and chief of staff Xu Wenlong immediately crossed Weishan Lake from Xuecheng to the west and rushed to Xiaozhouzhuang at starry night. They were accompanied by Zhou Jinlong's first brigade and the troops directly under the third column.
At this time, the atmosphere on the southwestern Shandong frontline also became extremely tense as a large number of national army troops gathered.
Heze. Japanese garrison headquarters!
Colonel Yamazaki was pacing back and forth in the headquarters, restless!
At this moment, the radio operator on the side suddenly stood up and reported: "Report: The Shanxian defenders sent an urgent call. Ten minutes ago, a large number of troops appeared outside the city and launched an attack on the outlying strongholds of the county. The opponent's troops exceeded three Thousands of people, equipped with large-caliber siege artillery and a large number of light and heavy machine guns, the firepower is very fierce, Major Uemura asks for combat guidance!"
Colonel Yamazaki looked at the map and asked the chief of staff on the side: "Miyamoto, how many garrison troops are there in Shan County?"
"Report to the Chief: Shanxian County is a third-level garrison county. The garrison originally had two infantry squadrons, plus the gendarmerie and cavalry, totaling 472 people. There was also a small amount of the Imperial Association Army, with a total strength of about 800 people. But a few days ago, we were ordered to deploy a squadron of troops to reinforce Peixian County. At this time, there may be less than 600 troops in the city, of which the total strength of the imperial army is only more than 200."
Colonel Yamazaki frowned and said solemnly: "Two hundred people are too few, and we can't hold on for long at all!"
"Sir, if there are no reinforcements, with the combat effectiveness shown by that man, the Shan County defenders can only hold on for three hours at most!"
"Can you only hold on for three hours?"
"Three hours at most. If the opponent's special operations team cooperates, it won't even take that long!"
Colonel Yamazaki said in a deep voice: "How many mobile troops are there in the city now?"
"Sir, there are still more than 800 defenders in Heze City. We can no longer send troops to reinforce the single county. Otherwise, it may give the enemy an opportunity!"
"You Xi, immediately send a report to the troops in Shan County, Chengwu and Cao County, ordering them to abandon the county seat immediately and evacuate to Dingtao!"
"Sir, do you really want to evacuate?" the chief of staff asked in surprise.
"Since there are no troops to reinforce them, we can only give up the existing positions. We cannot let the imperial troops stupidly defend when they know they cannot hold it. That is suicide!"
"How should we explain it to the Corps Headquarters?"
"There is no need to explain, I will bear the responsibility if anything happens! Besides, I also believe that the Legion Commander will understand me!"
"Hai!"
