    On the morning of July 22, the main force of the 110th Division entered Shatu Town, and the defenders retreated towards Heze City.

    The 10th Division, which came from the north, quickly moved south and quickly occupied Xiaoliu Town, fifteen miles away from the north of the city. Both armies were less than 15 miles away from Heze City.

    This distance is nothing to a well-trained army, especially since these two divisions are equipped with cavalry, and they can reach the Heze City in half an hour.

    This made the Japanese commanders in charge of frontline command ecstatic. They were finally arriving at Heze, the core city in southwest Shandong. As long as they captured this place, half of the entire battle in southwest Shandong would be won.

    And for these Japanese commanders, being able to occupy such an important city not only means merit, but also means countless wealth.

    Although Southwest Shandong is not very wealthy, it is a plain area after all, rich in food, and the people's lives have always been much better than in other places.

    When the Imperial Japanese Army enters the city, those big landowners and businessmen are so cool. It would be best if they don¡¯t know what they are doing. Anyway, they have guns in their hands, so they can just rob!

    But the next journey made the Japanese army very puzzled. After defeating the Chinese army in front of them last night, their troops neither encountered resistance from the Chinese army, nor were they welcomed by the local gentry. They even encountered them along the way.  Not even an old farmer was seen.

    What is even more unexpected is that even the crops in the field seem to have disappeared overnight, and many crops are not even mature yet!

    However, a piece of good news just came out of Heze City from Ttech. Intelligence said that the Chinese troops stationed in Heze City did not escape, but stayed in the city, preparing for a showdown with the Imperial Japanese Army.

    "Stupid support/that person, this is the evaluation given to Mr. Chang by Sangmu Chongming and Sasaki Toichi.

    In their words, they admire the courage of the garrison officers and soldiers. They are all real soldiers, but nothing more.

    Courage aside, the Chinese commander in the city was absolutely stupid.  Blind, their wisest choice was to retreat before the Japanese Imperial Army completed the encirclement of this small town, so that he could save his troops.

    Although fighting to the death can show the courage of the troops, they will inevitably be annihilated in the end!

    "When all the troops are wiped out, what's the use of having a false reputation for bravery? It's just a little dust in the long river of history. How stupid!"

    At about 6 pm on July 22, the two Japanese armies successfully met outside Heze City. A mighty force of 20,000 people surrounded the originally small Heze City tightly.

    However, the Japanese army did not rush to launch an attack. Instead, they set up a military camp outside the city. The troops were mobilized frequently. It seemed that a big move was about to take place.

    A small temple fifteen miles outside the city. The temporary headquarters of the Japanese army.

    The commander of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division, Maei Fukuda, excitedly looked at the map spread out on the circular conference table, and said to Colonel Nagumo Gisan, the captain of the 39th Regiment, "Nagumo-kun, I just got the news.  It is confirmed that Commander Chang from the 111th Division of the 57th Army is still in the city and has not escaped."

    "Yoshi, that stupid guy, I will use my sword to let that stupid guy know how powerful the Imperial Army of Japan is! The military power of the Imperial Army of Japan is sacred and inviolable, and His Majesty the Emperor will bear it!" Nagumo Gizo  Colonel said loudly.

    "Nanyun-kun, your regiment is the main force of our eighth brigade. Whether we can win Heze City in this battle depends on you." Fukuda Maei said loudly.

    "Hai, please rest assured, Commander, your humble position will not allow those reservists to take the lead!" Colonel Nagumo Gisan asked loudly.

    The reserves that Captain Nagumo mentioned actually refer to the troops of the 110th Division. The 110th Division was a second-class division formed by the base camp in Showa 13 from the remaining troops of the 10th Division plus some reserve officers and soldiers. Two troops.  It can be said that they come from the same lineage, and even many of the officers of the army were transferred from the original 10th Division.

    But even so, the relationship between the two armies is not very good. After all, it involves all aspects of supplies and supplements!

    In the past, when there was only the Tenth Division, the supplies and recruits raised from the three prefectures of Hyogo, Okayama, Tottori and Shimane Prefecture would be added to the Tenth Division, and no one would grab it.

    But since the establishment of the 110th Division, the 10th Division has had competitors to share the oil and water. Every year, at least 40% of the troops and supplies must be allocated to the 110th Division.

    Think about it, there used to be only one son in the family, and everything belonged to this son. No matter what bad things he did or what trouble he got into, no one dared to deal with him. After all, he wasThe only successor.

    "But now that we have the second child, the adults in the family can no longer take care of the eldest child, and it is impossible to allocate all the family property to the eldest child. You have to take care of the second child, right?"

    Once the eldest brother fails, the second eldest son may stand up and take over the inheritance rights. Can the relationship between the eldest son and the second eldest brother get better?

    What¡¯s more, these troops are different from the people, and there is no such strong blood relationship between them!

    Therefore, the 10th Division is actually very unhappy when looking at the 110th Division. They are talking about reserve guys. This actually contains a lot of information!

    "Nanyun-kun is indeed a warrior among the many in the imperial army, so I'll leave it to you to fight the city siege!" Major General Fukuda Maei said solemnly.

    "Hai, may I ask when you will attack so that we can prepare!"

    "Nanyun-kun, don't be anxious. The army in the city is already a turtle in the urn. It is only a matter of time before it is destroyed. Wait until the troops have rested before taking action!"

    "Hai!"

    "My order: The whole army will immediately bury pots to make rice, rest for one hour after eating, and then the whole army will attack the city overnight. Today we will rest in the city!" Fukuda Maei said loudly.

    "Hai!"

    Dividing line

    At the same time, in Lizhuang, five miles east of Heze, commanders belonging to the 110th Division were also discussing how to attack the city.

    Compared to the calm 10th Regiment, the 110th Division is a bit violent!

    In fact, it is easy to understand. As the second division-level combat unit in the Himeji area, they are still under great pressure.

    Especially since there is an A-class division above. Every time they fight, they will be compared with the 10th Division.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A collaborative effort to attack the same city. This is equivalent to putting them on the same platform for comparison. Therefore, although the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, they actually have the meaning of PK.

    Because of this, the former enemy commander of the 110th Division, Major General Nagano, called over his two main regiment captains and commanders of several other technical arms. There was only one purpose, and that was to get in front of the 10th Division.  Take down this branch/that small town.

    The whole meeting was very neat and tidy. In less than twenty minutes, the 110th Division formulated a combat plan and ordered the frontline troops to make preparations for the siege.

    As the orders from the frontline Japanese commanders continued to be issued, the troops outside the city also quickly took action!

    However, both the troops in the east and north of the city had a tacit understanding not to build barracks outside the city. In their view, the defenders in the city were just a group of defeated troops who had been severely damaged, and their combat effectiveness and morale were weak.  .

    Even some arrogant infantry captains clamored crazily that they could knock down the garrison positions outside the city with just one charge.

    But in fact, they didn¡¯t know that the national army in the city was far stronger than they imagined, both in terms of quantity and other aspects. In addition, there was no way out, so the whole army was filled with a tragic atmosphere.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The Japanese army obviously didn¡¯t know what kind of bloody battle would follow!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
