"Tada Jun's order is an imperial edict in the entire North China region. After receiving the order, the 12th Army in Shandong quickly mobilized!
In order to achieve the goal of killing with one blow, the new commander of the 12th Army, Iida Sadagu, also spent a lot of money. He planned to use the 17th Division that had just arrived in Shandong as the main force, supported by the original Heze garrison and Liaocheng and Liaocheng. The garrison troops in Jining and Ning jointly went south to attack Li Guoyao's headquarters.
In this battle, the Japanese army concentrated 6 infantry regiments alone. Together with the cavalry and artillery, engineers, and baggage troops, the total strength reached 22,000.
Since the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is so poor, it can only take action in peacetime. Therefore, the 12th Army Headquarters did not mobilize any puppet army to participate in the battle in this operation.
Of course, the changes in the Japanese army did not escape Li Guoyao's eyes. At the same time, after receiving a telegram from the intelligence department, Li Guoyao knew that he could take action.
Originally, Li Guoyao planned to take action after the Japanese troops in Liaocheng moved south. The reason was that he was worried that early action would make the Japanese troops guess that the national army had arrived in western Shandong. However, after incorporating the Ninth Route Army, Li Guoyao had new plans.
Although the strength of the Ninth Route Army is very average, their three or two kittens are not as powerful as a squadron under Li Guoyao.
But this unit has a good reputation in places such as Shen County and Yanggu. In the past two years, under the command of Niu Chenggen and Li Weibing, this unit has caused trouble for the little devils in the form of guerrilla warfare.
There were more than 20 Japanese transport teams ambushed by them alone, and more than 30 strongholds were pulled out. Although the damage caused to the little devils may not be great, it was remembered by Chinese people in several nearby counties. There is such an anti-Japanese team.
In particular, Niu Chenggen has always been honest and generous. In the villages and towns where the core of the Ninth Route Army is stationed, the people support them very much. With such a well-known army as a cover, Li Guoyao believes that he can definitely hide it from the little devils. Therefore, He needs to act early.
Because of the presence of Niu Chenggen, Li Weibing and others, Li Guoyao and others knew the situation of enemy forces in several nearby counties without any investigation by the intelligence department and special forces.
According to a report by Niu Chenggen and others, the main force currently stationed by the Japanese army in western Shandong is an infantry brigade, designated as the Independent Mixed Fifth Brigade. Upon hearing this, Li Guoyao and others were happy, enemies!
Last year, when the Japanese 32nd Division besieged Xiong'er Mountain, this independent mixed fifth brigade went to help, but was beaten to the point of losing its armor.
"However, the situation of this mixed brigade is relatively better. Although it was beaten, it was not completely wiped out like the independent mixed tenth brigade. After several months of recuperation, it has recovered some strength.
In addition, Niu Chenggen and others also said that there are currently a large number of Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Shen County and Yanggu. Among them, 500 Japanese troops and 500 puppet troops are stationed in Shen County, and 800 Japanese troops and 700 puppet troops are stationed in Yanggu. There were 1,000 Japanese troops and 800 puppet troops stationed in Guan County, 1,200 Japanese troops stationed in Yiping County, and another 1,000 puppet troops, with 500 puppet troops. There were relatively more Japanese troops in Liaocheng, including 1,500 Japanese troops. , eight hundred puppet troops.
Including the garrison in other places, the total strength of the Japanese army in this area is about 6,000, and the puppet army is no less than 3,000, for a total of about 9,000.
After listening to the report by Niu Chenggen and others, Li Guoyao found that the Japanese troops in Western Shandong were far more than those stationed in southwestern Shandong and other places. He thought that the Japanese army in southwestern Shandong only had one infantry regiment, which was not full. Counting the puppet troops, it was probably not even there. Six thousand people, the difference is really not even a little bit different.
This may be related to the geographical location of Western Shandong. Western Shandong is close to eastern Henan and southern Hebei, especially southern Hebei. There are numerous anti-Japanese forces there. The Eighth Route Army and the National Army have main forces stationed in the area, so it is also possible to bring western Shandong with them. Became the forefront of the anti-Japanese battlefield.
In this way, no matter from which perspective, the Japanese army will invest more energy in Lu Xi.
This also means that there are many more troops garrisoned in various places in Western Shandong than in other places. Even in ordinary counties, the garrison often exceeds a thousand people. In North China and Mongolia and Xinjiang, the Japanese troops in many counties may only have one or two hundred people. Or even less.
After understanding the enemy situation in Luxi, Li Guoyao decided to strike first and planned to eat all the thousands of puppet troops in Liaocheng in a short period of time.
However, we still need to think carefully about how to fight the first battle. According to Lu Zhanwu and others' idea, we should attack small counties like Shen County or Yanggu first. After all, the garrison in these counties usually only has more than a thousand people, and they are all scattered. In the township stronghold below.
And they directly gathered more than 4,000 people this time, and most of them were elites. They also had artillery andAs long as a technical unit like the cavalry does not directly attack an important town like Liaocheng, any county can be easily captured.
But this proposal was vetoed by Li Guoyao, because although such an action could annihilate some Japanese and puppet troops, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the Japanese and puppet troops in Liaocheng.
And Li Guoyao¡¯s idea is to either not take action, or once he takes action, he will eliminate at least half of the Japanese soldiers. This is the bottom line!
Because only by wiping out more than half of the Japanese troops can the remaining Japanese and puppet troops be wiped out in a devastating manner. It is not worth it if you only wipe out a few hundred Japanese soldiers and expose your identity!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Now that the identity of the Ninth Route Army is blocking him, he can start from a small place and give the little devil a set of combo punches.
When Li Guoyao expressed his thoughts to his officers, Niu Chenggen, who was familiar with the local situation, came up with an idea. He implored Li Guoyao to attack Zhujiazhuang first.
According to Niu Chenggen, this Zhujiazhuang is located between Shen County and Yanggu. It is a large village with more than 3,000 people. Niu Chenggen¡¯s family lived in Zhujiazhuang before, and he was a long-term employee of the big landowner Zhu Laowu¡¯s family.
This Zhu Laowu is not only the largest landowner in Zhujiazhuang, but also owns 60% of the more than 30,000 acres of land around Zhuangzi. In addition, he lives in the largest cloth merchant and wine merchant in Shen County, both in Shen County and Yanggu. At least a dozen restaurants belong to the Zhu family, and the Zhu family's business even extends to Liaocheng and Jinan.
Although this business is big, the reputation of the Zhu family in the ten miles and eight towns is not very good. First, the Zhu family is greedy for money and ruthless. They collect grain at low prices in good years, buy land at low prices in bad years, and also lend usury to tenants and long-term workers. The Zhu family is There are many ordinary people who have been driven into bankruptcy.
In addition, Zhu Laowu has three sons, one is worse than the other. It is common for men to bully men and women. Especially the eldest son, who likes to seduce other people's wives the most, and even ties them up if he falls in love with them. go back.
Niu Chenggen's daughter-in-law was attracted by that bastard. While Niu Chenggen was on the ground, the boss of the Zhu family came to the door with someone to bully her. However, Niu Chenggen's daughter-in-law was unwilling to give in and finally plunged into her yard. in the well.
Afterwards, instead of apologizing, the Zhu family took away the land rented by the Niu family. Niu Chenggen was furious and led several brothers to ambush the Zhu family boss halfway and killed him outside Zhuangzi.
It was precisely because of this incident that he had to escape from Zhujiazhuang and wander around with a few brothers.
However, when the Ninth Route Army established its reputation and prepared to return to Zhujiazhuang for revenge, it was discovered that the Zhu family had already defected to the Japanese. Zhu Laowu not only became the maintenance president of Zhujiazhuang, but also gave his daughter to Shen Noda, the captain of the Japanese garrison in the county.
More importantly, the Japs not only built a gun tower stronghold in Zhujiazhuang, but also asked Zhu Laowu to form a plainclothes team.
Niu Chenggen led people to attack the Zhujiazhuang stronghold several times, but they all failed in the end. Instead, many people were lost and there was no hope of revenge.
Now that Li Guoyao plans to act in the name of the Ninth Route Army, Niu Chenggen feels that it is most appropriate to attack Zhujiazhuang. He also hopes to use Li Guoyao's hand to avenge his wife. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
