    Dingtao is only more than 20 kilometers from Heze. At the speed of the Japanese army, it took less than half a day.

    However, when Colonel Okazaki saw the city in front of him, he was shocked!

    Before coming, he specifically checked the situation in this city. According to the intelligence collected by the intelligence department, the total population of Heze City is only 150,000. Although it is the central city of southwestern Shandong, it is dilapidated and extremely unfavorable for defense.  .

    It was precisely because of seeing such comments that he came with two thousand people!

    However, what appeared in front of him was a city with complete city walls and peripheral fortifications. The more than ten meters high city wall and various fortifications outside the city alone were enough for them to drink a pot.

    Who the hell said Heze City was easy to attack and difficult to defend? Who said it was vulnerable?

    In fact, the entire city defense fortifications in Heze at this time were divided into three parts. The first part was the defense fortifications outside the city. These fortifications were trench defense lines composed of anti-tank trenches and a large number of bunkers and air-raid shelters. These bunkers were all connected by underground communication trenches.  There are eleven bunker groups connected inside and outside the city. Each bunker group consists of a main fort and a dozen sub-forts.

    Moreover, these bunkers are very unique. Except for the shooting port, all other structures of each bunker group are buried deep underground. Thick logs and sandbags are also laid on top of the bunkers to protect against heavy Japanese aerial bombs.  attack.

    The third part is the blocking defense line in the city, with three layers inside and outside. This is used to prevent street fighting after the city is broken.

    With these projects, the troops have spent a lot of money, and the results are amazing. According to Li Guoyao's estimation, even if there are only 2,000 people, they can defend the city for at least 3 days against a force of more than 10,000 people.

    And with these three days, the work in Shan County has been completed!

    Back to the 17th Division Regiment Headquarters. After receiving the order from Lieutenant General Hirabayashi Morito, more than 3,000 Japanese troops set off from Shanxian County and went straight to Yamawang Mountain.

    As soon as the Japanese army left the county, Li Guoyao on the front line received an emergency telegram from the reconnaissance unit.

    After learning about the situation, Li Guoyao was overjoyed and immediately ordered his troops to clear the road to allow the Japanese troops to enter the mountain. After all the Japanese troops entered Yamawang Mountain, a brigade of troops was dispatched to cut off the Japanese troops' retreat, while the remaining troops were stationed behind Little Devils.  After arriving at the Jiangzhuang battlefield, they immediately surrounded and completely annihilated the Japanese and puppet troops.

    Speaking of the Japanese army, Captain Futian, who was in charge of supporting the troops, originally thought that the troops would be blocked by the Chinese army as soon as they left the city. After all, the opponent's posture was to eat the two infantry brigades in front of them, and they were bound to block them on the road.  Yes, he is also ready for this.

    ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect that after more than ten kilometers out of the city, not far from Yamawang Mountain, there was still no obstruction by the Chinese army.

    ¡°However, Colonel Fukuda Taro did not relax his vigilance just because he was not attacked. The more this happened, the more worried Fukuda Taro became.

    He knows very well that the Chinese army is by no means as unbearable as those guys in the empire who have never been on the battlefield say.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    As a soldier who has participated in the Wuhan War, he understands this very well!

    For this reason, Colonel Fukuda Taro ordered the search troops to place the cordon two kilometers away to prevent an ambush by the Chinese army. Encircling the point to provide reinforcements was the specialty of the Chinese army, and it was also the essence of the guerrilla warfare they advocated. Taro Fukuda had to guard against  .

    However, the atmosphere became more tense as they got closer to the battlefield. Finally, they discovered the Chinese army when they were near a small village near the battlefield.

    According to the map, this village is called Yanwangshan Village. This is the first line of defense for the Chinese army!

    The village is still very large. The blocking position is placed in front of the village. There are two trenches in total. From the outside, there should not be many troops.

    Subsequently, Colonel Fukuda deployed two squadrons and launched an attack here.

    Since the troops in front were in urgent need of rescue, he did not have time to test it bit by bit. As soon as he came up, the two squadrons attacked.

    It didn¡¯t matter that the fighting started. Colonel Fukuda was stunned when the defenders opened up their firepower.

    There were only three or four hundred soldiers in the two defense lines, and the firepower was outrageous. The Chinese army of a few hundred people was equipped with 8 heavy machine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns. On average, every 20 soldiers  It can be divided into a light and heavy machine gun.

    Think about one of themThe infantry regiment has more than 3,000 people. Excluding the individual heavy machine gun squadron, there are only more than 30 light and heavy machine guns in total. This means that the automatic firepower of their regiment is only slightly stronger than the enemy in front of them.

    But no matter how strong the firepower of the enemy on the opposite side was, Colonel Fukuda knew that he had no way out. After all, there were still two brigades ahead of him that were in urgent need of rescue.

    According to reports from the surrounded troops, they have less than 500 people left at this time. Reinforcements must arrive as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

    After the first attack was repelled, Colonel Fukuda almost did not hesitate and directly sent a large group to attack the Chinese army in two groups.

    There is no other way. Just now, His Excellency the division commander sent another urgent telegram, saying that the fighting over Nanshan Brigade is rapidly deteriorating. Reinforcements from this/that army have arrived, and at least 1,500 soldiers from this/that army have already arrived.  The two unlucky brigades of the empire surrounded a hill outside Jiangzhuang.

    Moreover, this/that unit was equipped with a large number of mortars and grenade launchers, but the surrounded imperial army did not have heavy weapons. Coupled with battle losses, the only three heavy machine guns and three light machine guns at this time were barely enough.  It works.

    In addition, the captain of the Tanaka Battalion was killed ten minutes ago. The unit is now commanded by Major Kusuyama, but he has sent a farewell telegram to the division headquarters. If reinforcements cannot arrive within half an hour, he will take the remaining troops with him.  The troops launched a long-lived charge and died together with the supporter.

    Colonel Fukuda took a look and found that Jiangzhuang was less than two kilometers away from here. If the speed was faster, he could arrive in ten minutes. The only trouble was the blocking force in front of him.

    Fortunately, they brought a lot of direct-fire artillery and infantry artillery this time, which were just used to deal with these hateful troops!

    After carefully observing the opposing garrison position, Colonel Fukuda discovered that although the opponent's position was well built and had good weapons and equipment, the number of people was only a few hundred. The imperial army was fully capable of defeating the enemy in fifteen minutes.  Defeat them within.

    Of course, just defeating them cannot annihilate them all. After all, they don¡¯t have time to chase them all over the mountains and plains.

    Due to the emergency of the war, Colonel Fukuda immediately ordered his powerful First Battalion to go into battle, and also ordered the only direct-fire artillery squadron and infantry artillery squadron brought this time to provide fire support.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

    Following the consistent bombardment by the Japanese army, hundreds of soldiers from the Futian Regiment launched an attack on the Chinese army's positions.

    The third squadron under Zhou Chenghua was responsible for defending Yanwangshan Village. Originally, according to Li Guoyao's plan, they only needed to open the road to allow the Japanese troops to enter the battlefield.

    But Li Guoyao was a very careful person. All the performances of the Futian United Team after they left Shanxian County surprised Li Guoyao. Their level of caution was much higher than that of the average Japanese military captain.

    It is common to put up a cordon during a march and fight, but not many people like this little devil put the cordon two kilometers away, and at this time, the Japanese reinforcements are still in an absolute position on the surface.  With their advantages, they don't need to be so cautious at all.

    This shows that the commander of the little devil in front of him is unusual and a difficult guy, so the original plan is likely to be seen through by this guy.

    After thinking over and over again, Li Guoyao decided to send a small force to stop him halfway. On the one hand, he could allay this guy's suspicion, and on the other hand, he could buy some more time for Zhou Chenghua's side to seize the encirclement before the reinforcements of the little devil arrived.  The little devil's strength should be weakened a little more, so as not to suffer a big loss under the opponent's attack from inside and outside.

    It is precisely because of this that this small force appeared in Yamawang Mountain Village!

    "Squadron leader, the damn little devil is coming up." A soldier who was less than twenty years old shouted loudly.

    At this time, a fierce officer holding a shell gun in his left hand, a telescope in his right hand, and a ghost-headed sword on his back said: "I saw it, don't panic!"

    "Squadron leader, fight or not!"

    "Brothers, cheer up for me. This time we are not just any ordinary Japs. Don't shoot for a moment. Wait until the bullies get closer! Don't even raise your head for me with the heavy machine guns. The Japs' artillerymen are here."  They are not vegetarians." Chen Erpu said loudly.

    "yes!"
