    After the Japanese army reoccupied Liaocheng and other places, they quickly sent out reconnaissance troops and special agents from the Special High-Tech Department to investigate the whereabouts of the national army troops. At this time, they already knew that the troops wreaking havoc in the western Shandong area in the past few days were under Li Guoyao's command.

    Of course, this was naturally let out by Li Guoyao on purpose. Firstly, Li Guoyao intended to promote the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, and secondly, he was stimulating the little devils.

    The propaganda of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps is easy to understand. The main reason is that after the troops have worked hard for so long, the people will not know who is fighting the Japanese in the end, which will be embarrassing.

    ¡° Revealing the troop numbers will not only let the common people know who is helping them fight the Japanese, but it will also help recruit troops.

    I heard that it was Li Guoyao's command who counterattacked Luxi. The people's desire to join the army has obviously increased. Later, the troops began to line up at the recruitment point in the city.

    As for stimulating the little devils, it is conceivable. Luxi Southwest is an example. The little devils know the dangers of Li Guoyao's troops very well. Once they know that the main force of Li Guoyao's troops has arrived in Western Shandong, they will definitely be very nervous.

    And the more nervous they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes, and the more opportunities Li Guoyao and others have to deal with them.

    With the cooperation of various departments and the fact that the National Army had no hidden traces, the Japanese army soon learned that the main force of the National Army had moved towards Guan County.

    Immediately, the 12th Army Headquarters ordered the Guanxian garrison to immediately release a small force to investigate Li Guoyao's headquarters within the territory.

    The 12th Army Headquarters did not expect the Guanxian defenders to completely annihilate Li Guoyao's troops, but just wanted these small troops to confirm whether Li Guoyao's troops had really withdrawn to Guanxian, that's all.

    And Li Guoyao did not disappoint them. Not long after the small force of the Guanxian garrison left the county, they were attacked by the Chinese army. In less than a day, the four small units of the Guanxian garrison were released.  They were all attacked, more than two hundred people survived, and the entire army was wiped out.

    When the news came back to Jinan, the heads of the 12th Army Headquarters were shocked and angry. They immediately issued instructions and the main force of the 10th Division immediately moved westward to pursue the Chinese army.

    However, less than three hours after this order was issued, and the Japanese troops here had just assembled, the 12th Army Headquarters received a farewell telegram from the Guan County Garrison Command.

    Just fifteen minutes ago, Guan County was attacked by the Chinese army. The enemy troops divided into four groups to besiege Guan County. At the same time, they sent a large number of elite squads to attack the strongholds around the county.

    The enemy troops were huge in number and had astonishing firepower. Within ten minutes of the start of the battle, the outer positions of the county town were easily captured by the opponent, and all six strongholds outside the city lost contact. It was a very dangerous situation.

    Afterwards, a large number of national army detachments appeared in the city. The garrison headquarters, arsenal and military camps were attacked, and the telephone lines were also cut off.  The garrison commander knew that he was in serious trouble after losing contact with the frontline troops. He immediately sent a farewell telegram to the Corps Headquarters, saying that he was ready to sacrifice his life for His Majesty the Emperor.

    When the 12th Army Headquarters contacted Guanxian County again, they found that there was no signal from the other side!

    Shocked, Iida Sadugu immediately called Lieutenant General Sasaki Yuichi, commander of the 10th Division, and asked them to rush to Guan County within five to three hours and completely annihilate the Chinese army in Guan County.

    However, what Sasaki did not expect was that the moment he received the order, the disaster of the 10th Division began!

    At three o'clock in the afternoon on April 17, more than 5,000 people from the 39th Regiment of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division and the Cavalry Regiment set out from Liaocheng, and then headed west all the way to Guan County, 60 kilometers away.

    According to the estimation of the Japanese commander, Colonel Akashiba Takatoshi, the troops will arrive in Guan County within three hours. After all, in order to rush the time, the division headquarters allocated more than 80 vehicles from the baggage department to the 39th Regiment.

    With the assistance of these cars, the soldiers can not only take turns to take a rest in the car, but also put part of their luggage on the car, which greatly reduces the soldiers' physical strength.

    However, the car was attacked by the national army shortly after leaving Liaocheng. The troops happened to pass by a small bridge at that time.  Since the bridge was not very wide and the river below was not deep, the Japanese army did not pay attention to this.

    But when their car was driving in the middle of the bridge, the small bridge with a stone arch structure suddenly exploded. In a series of explosions, the small bridge collapsed and buried three cars driving on the bridge at the same time.  In ruins.

    When the remaining soldiers used all their strength to pull the cars out of the ruins, they found that most of the more than 70 Japanese soldiers on the cars were dead or injured. Those who were lucky enough to survive were still frightened.

    And this is just the beginning, from the bridge explosionAt the beginning, the Japanese army was attacked every few kilometers, and the opponent did not open fire blatantly. Except for landmines and explosives, most of the attacks were completed by snipers.

    The enemy did not fire continuously. Basically, they only fired a few shots, killing and wounding a few people before disappearing without a trace.

    In a distance of less than 20 kilometers, the 39th Wing was attacked four times by landmines and 17 times by snipers.

    During this period, the 39th Regiment suffered 51 deaths and 166 injuries, for a total of 217 casualties.

    Moreover, Colonel Akashiba also discovered a problem. Among the 51 people killed, in addition to the more than 40 people who were killed in the initial bridge explosion, less than ten people died in the subsequent attack. Among them,  Also included were three people killed by landmines.

    In other words, only six or seven officers and soldiers were killed by snipers, but as many as 166 soldiers were injured, and almost all of them were seriously injured.

    ¡°Obviously the purpose of the other party is very clear. These snipers are not to eliminate their troops, but to slow down their actions, so they would rather injure people than kill them.

    The reason is very simple. When an imperial soldier is killed, there are two ways to deal with it. One is to bury him on the spot, and the other is to transport the body back to the city for cremation.

    ¡°But if an Imperial Army soldier is injured, there is only one way to deal with it, and that is to assign people to carry them forward.

    "If it had been two years ago, if such a thing had happened, they would have executed the seriously injured soldiers without hesitation, because their presence affected the rapid attack of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    But it is not two years ago now. The death of a large number of veterans has made the base camp realize the importance of the wounded. Therefore, the frontline troops are prohibited from executing those seriously injured soldiers. After all, once these people recover from their injuries and return to the army, they will be very valuable veteran resources.  !

    However, taking care of a seriously injured soldier requires at least three healthy soldiers, two of whom carry the stretcher, and the other who is responsible for starting the attack and carrying the firearms and ammunition of the wounded plus the two stretcher-carrying soldiers.

    You must know that one soldier in the Japanese army can carry 120 rounds of ammunition, and four people can carry 480 rounds of ammunition. It is really difficult for one soldier to be responsible for so much ammunition.

    The 39th Regiment suddenly had 166 more seriously wounded people. In order to take care of these people, it would take at least about 500 people.

    Good guy, if you include the attrition of these soldiers, then an infantry brigade has lost its combat effectiveness.

    Secondly, these seriously wounded soldiers were moaning and groaning along the way, which seriously affected the morale of the troops. It can be said that injuring a Japanese soldier is far more deterrent than killing one.

    After figuring out the key, Colonel Akashiba immediately ordered the troops to deploy ten vehicles and a small team, ask them to load all the wounded into the vehicles, and then return to Liaocheng the same way.

    He believed that without the burden of these wounded soldiers, the troops would be able to reach Guan County soon.

    However, the ideas are full and the ideals are indeed skinny. Less than half an hour after the convoy transporting the wounded left, fierce gunfire sounded from behind.

    Although the exchange of fire was not very long, it was extremely fierce. When Colonel Akashiba realized that something was wrong and sent reinforcements, it was already too late.

    After the reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, they only saw ten burning cars and corpses on the ground. Not only were more than a hundred wounded killed this time, but even the infantry team responsible for escorting them were all killed. No one was spared.  .

    The news reached Colonel Akashiba¡¯s ears, which made the forty-eight-year-old Army Colonel almost go crazy, but there was nothing he could do about it!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
