    In order to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, Kimura Hyoutarou decided to take the initiative and take the initiative in the battle.

    Kimura Hy身taro then ordered the main force in the city to leave the city immediately and go to the Huashanzi line between Zaozhuang and Ancheng to block Ma Desheng's troops.

    Huashanzi is located more than ten kilometers east of Zaozhuang City, not very far from Ancheng, and is the only way from Ancheng to Zaozhuang.

    And the terrain here is mountainous. Although it is not very steep, it is undulating. It is much better to deploy the troops here than in Zaozhuang City.

    At the very least, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack here, so it is most suitable to block the Chinese army.

    At the same time, Kimura Hy身taro ordered the Xuecheng garrison to hand over the city defense task to the Imperial Alliance Army in the city. The main force of more than 700 people, carrying all weapons, equipment and ammunition, all evacuated to Zaozhuang City.

    Although Hy身taro Kimura did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that the division commander had given up on Xuecheng.

    After all, there were not many defenders in Xuecheng, only one infantry brigade and one infantry regiment of the Imperial Association Army. Yesterday, the division headquarters had transferred two squadrons of the Imperial Army and two battalions of the Imperial Association Army from Xuecheng.  At that time, all the imperial troops were transferred to Zaozhuang, so there was only one battalion of the imperial army left in Xuecheng.

    You should know that a regiment of the Imperial Association Army only has more than 800 people, and a battalion has only more than 200 people. Although Xuecheng is not big, it cannot be defended by 200 people.

    Once the Chinese army appears in Xuecheng, I am afraid that the Imperial Army infantry battalion will not even have the courage to fight. What does this mean if it is not giving up!

    Following Kimura Hy身taro＊s order, the Japanese and puppet troops also moved into action, and the Battle of Zaozhuang began in an all-round way.

    At four thirty in the morning on the 24th, Huashanzi front line!

    Ma Desheng＊s headquarters has been fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops here for more than an hour. Since the Japanese troops received a death order, they fought very tenaciously!

    Although the Japanese army deployed hastily, after all, the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if there are no decent fortifications, Ma Desheng's troops still have a hard time fighting.

    Although the Japanese army's first line of defense at the foot of the mountain was lost, the Japanese army still had no intention of retreating, and the two sides immediately began to compete for the second line of defense.

    The battle lasted from around three in the morning to seven-thirty in the morning, from working in the dark to the bright sky and then to the rising sun. Both sides were very tired, but they had no intention of truce.

    There is no way, both sides received death orders!

    For Ma Desheng＊s troops, conquering Huashanzi will enable them to march to the gates of Zaozhuang City. This is a task assigned to them by the commander-in-chief and must be completed.

    Moreover, only by inflicting pain on the Japanese troops in Zaozhuang can they be forced to ask for help from Xuzhou and other places, and the subsequent battles can be carried out in an orderly manner, so they have no choice but to strengthen their offensive.

    For the Japanese army, Huashanzi is the last barrier in Zaozhuang City. Once it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous. Everyone, including Hyoutaro Kimura himself, may be annihilated in Zaozhuang City.

    Regarding the city defense and attack capabilities of Li Guoyao's troops, Hy身taro Kimura has personally seen it. Not to mention the small city of Zaozhuang, even the important town of Xuzhou can be defeated with a single strike!

    Once they were allowed to get close to Zaozhuang, Kimura Hy身taro did not have the courage, and he did not dare to risk the honor of the 32nd Division and his own life!

    Therefore, they had no other choice but to let the defenders of Huashanzi continue to resist.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????? If two troops without a choice collide, the result will be a fatal fight!

    Dividing line

    When the battle situation on the Zaozhuang front line was sent to Mangdang Mountain, Li Guoyao had completed the adjustment of the troops and was having a meeting with Lu Wenlong, Wen Debiao and others!

    After reading the telegram sent by Ma Desheng from the front line, Li Guoyao smiled immediately, which made the officers in the conference room feel itchy. They didn't know what good news the telegram contained that could make the chief executive so happy.

    Among these people, Lu Wenlong is undoubtedly the oldest and the most trusted by Li Guoyao. Seeing Li Guoyao smiling from ear to ear, Lu Wenlong immediately asked: "What good news is there, sir? Let the brothers be happy too."  Hey, what＊s the point of being happy alone?§

    Li Guoyao smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that Lao Ma sent a good news from the Zaozhuang front line. The Sulu Theater Headquarters has captured Shanting, and the main force of the Japanese 32nd Division went north to counterattack Shanting, but  They were dragged to Shanting by the 113th Division. At this time, the total number of defenders in Zaozhuang City was less than 5,000. Ma Desheng＊s troops had already arrived outside Zaozhuang City and were fighting with the Japanese army in Huashanzi!"

    Hearing Li Guoyao＊s words, everyone laughed., these people also know the battle plan of Zaozhuang front line, and understand that the little devil has fallen into the trap of the chief again, no wonder he is so happy.

    At this time, Wen Debiao said: "General, although the Zaozhuang front line is playing pretty well, we are still at an absolute disadvantage here in southwest Shandong, especially the Heze front line. As far as the entire battle is concerned, our chances of winning don't seem to be high.  !§

    However, Li Guoyao smiled and said: "Not high? How did you figure out that our chances of winning are not high?"

    "Chief Commander, we don't want to let other people's ambitions destroy our own prestige. The Japanese army on the northern front is actually too strong. Those are the two master regiments. Once the 111th Division cannot hold on, the main force of the Japanese army will be like  It will pour out like a flood, and Dingtao will surely be lost by then!"

    Having said this, Wen Debiao suddenly stood up, stood in front of a Shandong military map, pointed to the location of Shan County and said: "Once Dingtao falls, the Japanese 10th Division, 110th Division, 21st Division and 17th Division  The division's tens of thousands of troops will attack Shanxian County, and then the reinforcements from the 112th Division and the 89th Army near Shanxian County will report and encircle them. With their combat effectiveness, the possibility of breaking through is very small!"

    "Although our unit is not weak, it does not have the strength to fight so many Japanese troops, so I am still very worried!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Debiao's deputy Wu Baoguo also said: "Yes, everything seems to be maintainable now, but that is all based on the premise that the 111th Division can hold on. Once Commander Chang's side collapses,  Now, the situation will be reversed!"

    But what everyone didn＊t expect was that Li Guoyao was not worried at all. Instead, he said categorically: ※You all put your hearts in your stomach, we will definitely win this battle!§

    "You're sure to win?"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although everyone knows that Li Guoyao's command level is very high, and he has indeed fought many big battles with less to win more, and achieved brilliant results.

    But this time there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and their units have just finished the war, and their strength has not yet returned to its peak. If they are to fight against such a powerful enemy, their chances of winning are really slim.

    Seeing everyone's disbelief, Li Guoyao said calmly: "Do you know the story of Tian Ji's horse racing?"

    Lu Wenlong and others looked at me, and I looked at you, they all looked at each other, wondering what Li Guoyao meant!

    "Haven't you heard of it?" Li Guoyao's eyes widened. These people have never heard of such a widely circulated story. They shouldn't!

    You must know that many of the people here are talented people with professional backgrounds and have received complete military education. It is impossible that they have not heard of the story of Tian Ji＊s horse racing!

    Wen Debiao immediately said: "Of course I have heard of thisit's just"

    Li Guoyao raised his hand to stop him and said immediately: "Tian Ji, the general of Qi State, liked horse racing very much. Once, he and King Wei of Qi agreed to have a race. Each horse can be divided into upper, middle and lower.  Third class. During the competition, King Qi Wei always used his mounted horse against Tian Ji's mounted horse, his middle horse against his middle horse, and his dismounted horse against his dismounted horse. Since King Qi's horses at each level were stronger than Tian Ji's horse, the competition was held  Tian Ji failed several times"

    After briefly telling the story of Tian Ji's horse racing, Li Guoyao said again: "This story tells us that because the combination changes, the quality of things will also change. In the process of development and change of things, the components that make up things are arranged in order.  Changes in the environment will also cause qualitative changes in things, which is another form of quantitative changes causing qualitative changes."

    "Currently, we and the Japanese army are divided into three parts on the entire southern Shandong battlefield, namely the Heze battlefield on the north and south-western fronts of Shandong, the Shanxian battlefield on the south-western and southern fronts of Shandong, and the Zaozhuang battlefield on the eastern front of Weishan Lake. The Japanese army is deployed separately on this northern front battlefield.  The 10th Division and the 110th Division were deployed, the first part of the 21st Division and the remnants of the 17th Division were deployed on the Shanxian battlefield, and the 32nd Division and the independent mixed 6th Brigade were deployed on the east bank of Weishan Lake.  This is equivalent to three horses of the Japanese army!§

    "In terms of combat effectiveness, the 10th Division and the 110th Division on the northern front are undoubtedly the strongest, and they are for Shangma! The troops on the east bank of Weishan Lake are second in strength, for Zhongma, and the Japanese troops near Shan County  The smallest troops and the weakest strength are for dismounting!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "On the other hand, our troops on the east bank of Weishan Lake include the 51st Army of the Sulu Theater Headquarters and the main force of our General Zhou. The total strength of this line alone has reached 70,000 to 80,000 people. It is undoubtedly  The strongest ones are for our troops. The second is the Shanxian area. Not only are there the 112th Division of the 57th Army, but there are also more than 30,000 reinforcements from the 89th Army. Plus our army, they are for China."

    "The troops on the front line in Heze have the smallest number of troops, are the weakest, and are in a bad situation. They are dismounting. If we follow the normal competition, our chance of winning is indeed small. But now looking at the situation on the battlefield, we use the worst dismounting  They dragged the strongest upper horse of the Japanese army to Heze, but then used the strongest upper horse to fight the Japanese army's middle horse, and then used the middle horse to fight the Japanese army's dismounted horse. Who do you think has a greater chance of winning?"

    PS: Today＊s update is coming, this is the second update!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The chances are really slim.  But now look at the situation on the battlefield. We used the worst dismounted horse to drag the Japanese army's strongest mounted horse to Heze, but we used the strongest mounted horse to fight against the Japanese army's middle horse, and then used the middle horse to fight against the Japanese army's dismounted horse.  , who do you think has a greater chance of winning?  "
