While the Japanese army on the northern front was advancing vigorously, the Japanese army on the southern front was also making rapid progress!
Since the national army on the southern front is dominated by Zhang Yinwu's Hebei People's Army and Zhu Huaibing's 97th Army, and these two armies were beaten up by the Eighth Route Army a few months ago, and more than half of their troops were lost, and they have not recovered yet. The combat effectiveness is very weak.
Thinking about it, if you can't even defeat the Eighth Route Army, how can you be an opponent of the elite Japanese army!
Although Li Guoyao has told them how to copy homework, the results are not satisfactory!
It only took the Japanese army half a day to capture Cheng'an County, and then marched eastward from Cheng'an, arriving at Wei County at around two o'clock in the morning. After Zhang Yinwu's troops learned that the main force of the Japanese army had arrived in Wei County, they abandoned the city without any resistance. Escaped, the Japanese Bantian Regiment occupied the county seat of Wei County without any blood.
After conquering the county seat of Wei County, the Japanese army marched northward non-stop and headed straight for Guantao.
At the same time, the Japanese troops from Liaocheng also traveled day and night, arriving at Donggu Town, east of Guantao County, at 8 a.m. on July 3.
Since the main force of the 36th Division has not yet arrived, the 10th Division dare not act rashly, lest it alarm the enemy and allow Li Guoyao's troops to escape.
At 11:30 in the morning, Wu Chuannan contacted the headquarters of the 10th Division and learned that the 10th Division had arrived near Guantao. At this time, the main force of the 36th Division also arrived near Guantao, and they made an agreement immediately. Act immediately to encircle the Chinese army in Guantao.
But what the Japanese army didn¡¯t know was that Li Guoyao¡¯s troops had already evacuated from Guantao. Even the troops that made a fuss in Guantao County the night before yesterday were only a partial division, and the main force had already arrived in the Daming territory.
And Li Guoyao, the partial force, did not want to be eaten by the Japanese. After learning that the Japanese army had been fooled, Li Guoyao ordered the force to withdraw from Guantao immediately.
It can be said that Li Guoyao¡¯s troops were no longer in Guantao at this time, and the Japanese army missed the target this time!
Daming County is located in the southeast of Hebei, at the junction of Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces. It belongs to the alluvial plain of the Yellow River and the Heilonggang Basin. It has a temperate continental monsoon climate. There are three rivers, the Zhang River, the Wei River, and the Maca River, running through the entire county. The terrain is flat, the land is fertile and the resources are rich, making it suitable for the cultivation of peanuts, wheat, corn, soybeans and other crops as well as various types of dried and fresh fruits.
After the troops arrived at Daming, Li Guoyao immediately investigated the enemy situation here and found that the strength of the Japanese and puppet garrison in Daming was still very strong. The Japanese army alone had a complete infantry brigade here, and there were also two regiments of puppet troops. The total strength is about 2,800, which is one of the best among all Japanese garrison troops at the county level.
As for the reason why the number of Japanese troops in Daming County is relatively large, Li Guoyao also investigated clearly. Due to its very important geographical location, it has become a arena for competition among all parties. Here are not only the Japanese and puppet forces, but also the regular army of the national army. The defeated army, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, bandits and bandits, the private troops of the gentry and landlords, and even the Daomen Church have set up various incense altars here.
All forces want to bring Daming County into their own jurisdiction. The enemy and our enemies are intertwined with each other, so much so that so many Japanese and puppet troops are stationed in a small Daming County.
Li Guoyao didn¡¯t pay much attention to the famous Japanese and puppet troops at first, and he had no intention of taking action against them.
But when the main force of the Japanese army rushed to Guantao, Li Guoyao knew that the troops needed a foothold, and judging from the current situation, this foothold was none other than Dai Ming.
The reason is also very simple. The geographical location here is really advantageous. As long as the troops take root here, whether it is Shandong, Hebei or Henan, the troops can arrive in the shortest time if necessary.
And Li Guoyao is heading towards Handan this time, but he will definitely not be able to hold Handan if he captures it. Once the Japanese army counterattacks Handan, they must leave a way for the troops to retreat!
After thinking again and again, Li Guoyao decided to capture Daming County!
Regarding siege operations, Li Guoyao is very experienced, and he currently has more than 10,000 troops!
After figuring out the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops in Daming County, Li Guoyao formulated a combat plan and prepared to capture Daming County.
According to Li Guoyao's battle plan, taking advantage of the favorable time when the Japanese and puppet troops were dispersed, he concentrated 11 battalions of troops to attack all the strongholds in the territory of the name. At the same time, the main two regiments of the army launched an attack on the county town.
To be on the safe side, Li Guoyao has ordered Xu Ziyu to lead a small team of special forces to sneak into Daming County. After the battle begins, this force will cooperate with the main force to capture the east gate of Daming County.
Li Guoyao has also set the time for the attack, and it is set on the night of July 3rd!
However, fate is not as good as fate. Just when Li Guoyao and others were recharging their strength and preparing for the night operation, they suddenly received an emergency telegram from the reconnaissance unit, saying that the Japanese and puppet troops in the city suddenly gathered and then quickly moved towards the northwest. .
After hearing the news, Li Guoyao was a little confused as to what the little devils were gathering at this time.
Soon the intelligence department got new news. It turned out that a large number of Chinese troops suddenly appeared in the direction of Shakouji in the northwest of Daming County and were attacking Shakouji.
After further inquiry, we found out that the Chinese army in the direction of Shakouji turned out to be Zhang Yinwu's 8th Regiment of the Hebei People's Army. This army was withdrawn from Wei County.
Originally, their plan was to retreat to the Daming Territory for a rest, but as soon as they arrived at Shakouji, they were attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold. As the most populous town in the Daming Territory, the number of garrison troops in Shakouji was also larger than the average. There are many more towns. There is a squadron of Japanese troops and 300 puppet troops stationed here, plus other traitors, a total of 500 people.
" Zhang Yinwu's Hebei People's Army is a guerrilla force upgraded from the local security corps. Many of them don't even have a decent military uniform. They can tell at a glance that they are a motley army.
Although there seemed to be a large number of troops, the Japanese squadron leader in Shakou Market Town did not care. After learning about the situation, he took the initiative to lead his troops to attack Zhang Yinwu's headquarters.
However, Zhang Yinwu's troops had just won a great victory yesterday. Although they had abandoned the county seat of Wei County, the strength of the troops was intact and their morale was high. Seeing that a few hundred little devils dared to attack them, under the command of regiment leader Li Tianyun, Launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in Shakouji.
After the First World War, the Japanese and puppet troops in Shakouji suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the Shakouji stronghold. While resisting stubbornly, they also asked for help from the Japanese army in Daming County.
After receiving a call from the Japanese army asking for help from Shakouji, the Japanese garrison commander Okada of Daming County did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the troops to assemble, and under the command of the deputy captain, urgently reinforced Shakouji.
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Li Guoyao made a prompt decision and ordered his troops to assemble immediately and launch an attack on Daming County.
At the same time, the main force of 4,000 people from Lu Zhanwu's command post was dispatched to set up an ambush near Ximozhuang, ten kilometers west of Daming County, preparing to annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops who had withdrawn from Shakou.
At 3:30 in the afternoon on July 3, Li Guoyao personally commanded the female soldier brigade to launch an attack on Daming County!
Since they knew that there was only one squadron of Japanese troops and two to three hundred puppet troops in the county, Li Guoyao and others fought without any scruples.
In addition, this battle was the first battle of the female brigade. Li Guoyao also wanted these female soldiers to feel the cruelty of the battlefield, so he directly pressed all the female soldiers from the two regiments. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
