After receiving the telegram from the North China Front Army Headquarters, Kimura Hy¨taro was in a great mood!
Regarding this unauthorized pursuit of troops and the introduction of war into the territory controlled by Li Guoyao, Kimura Hy¨taro actually had no idea.
It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not sure about winning or losing, but I¡¯m not sure about Commander Tada Shun¡¯s attitude.
Kimura somewhat understands the temper of his immediate boss. Unlike the fool General Sugiyama Moto who is so easy to talk to, Tada Shun is quite independent and very cautious. In the military, he focuses on stability and rarely takes risks. .
The rise of Li Guoyao's troops is absolutely unexpected. Its strength has exceeded everyone's estimation. Before the true strength of Li Guoyao's troops is understood, except for Kimura, I am afraid that no one will be willing to provoke Li Guoyao's troops.
But Kimura was very unhappy. The losses that Li Guoyao's department had caused to Kimura's department in recent years were obvious to all. As Kimura, who wanted to achieve brilliant military achievements, he could not tolerate this kind of thing happening.
Although the national army has not made much military achievements in the past two years, Li Guoyao, who came out of nowhere, created a shocking military legend. In three years, he developed from a remnant soldier into a man who can look up to. giant.
With insufficient troops, lost cities and territory, the reality is that the entire Shandong Province is under the threat of Li Guoyao's troops. Kimura knows that he must change this situation.
Not to mention whether we can completely annihilate Li Guoyao's troops, at the very least we can drive this unit out of our own defense zone!
Kimura Hy¨taro is one of the senior Japanese military officers who has truly seen Li Guoyao's strength, and he is also one of the Japanese military officers who understands Li Guoyao.
He knew Li Guoyao's personality very well. Either he would not take action, or he would kill him with thunderous blows.
As for the Battle of Southwest Shandong some time ago, on the surface it seemed that the Imperial Japanese Army was defeated by the Chinese army's full counterattack, but in fact, it was Li Guoyao's troops who really played a decisive role.
Because in terms of the tens of thousands of people lost, the total number of Li Guoyao's troops reached 15,000, and the Sulu war zone also caused more than 10,000 losses to the Japanese army. It can be seen at once which one is more serious. .
Although the losses of the Kimura Division in the previous battle were not large, let alone injuries!
"But Li Guoyao's men forcefully snatched Zaozhuang from his hands. If he hadn't run fast, grass would have grown on the graves by now!"
So Kimura is very unwilling. He wants to fight Li Guoyao openly, and he also has the strength!
Now he has two field divisions and a mixed brigade, with a total strength of more than 30,000 troops, as well as a large number of technical arms. Such a powerful configuration seemed to Kimura to be extremely powerful. This was also the most time he had controlled the army since he joined the army.
Not to mention the mere Xiong'er Mountain, even if Kimura is asked to attack the hinterland of Yimeng Mountain, he will not hesitate!
Therefore, after receiving the order, the excited Lieutenant General Kimura immediately ordered the front line to speed up the march and must catch up with the Chinese army before August 20 and enter the hinterland of Xiong'er Mountain.
Kimura was cruel this time. In order to be foolproof, this time he did not call any soldiers of the puppet army. He only ordered all the puppet troops to cooperate with the Japanese army who had no offensive mission to defend the rear areas.
In addition, Kimura also mobilized all available troops. The troops directly involved in the attack on Xiong'er Mountain reached 7 infantry regiments plus two technical arms. The artillery alone had 3 regiments, and the tank troops One wing even applied for a large number of aviation troops to coordinate operations.
This can no longer be described as grand, it can be said that the plastic surgery is luxurious and full of firepower!
But what Kimura didn¡¯t know was that just when he was thinking triumphantly about taking down Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters, Li Guoyao, who was in Xiong¡¯er Mountain, didn¡¯t care at all.
At the Wawashan Headquarters, Li Guoyao listened to Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai and others chattering about the situation. Everyone in the headquarters had very solemn expressions, and there was an aura of a storm about to come.
After Xu Hu finished speaking his opinion, Li Guoyao sat up straight, cleared his throat and said, "I understand what Lao Xu means. Now I will tell you my own opinion. I am opposed to the clearing of the country!"
Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, everyone was stunned!
Having worked with Li Guoyao for so many years, everyone knows his temper very well. Who cares most about the life and death of the common people in the Jiujiu Army, it is Li Guoyao. Now that the Japanese army is approaching, Xu Hu and others?When he proposed to strengthen the walls and clear the country, everyone thought that Li Guoyao would definitely agree with it, but they never thought that he would directly oppose it.
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Li Guoyao immediately said: "I have two reasons. First, it is not necessary. Although the Japanese army is coming with force, in my opinion they are just a paper tiger and will get out in less than two days." Bear Ears Mountain.¡±
¡°The second reason is that it is the busy farming season now, and the crops will mature in one month, and this is related to the food supply of the entire base area for the next six months. If we fortify the walls and clear the fields at this time, the losses will be too great.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hu frowned and said, "This time the Japanese army concentrated tens of thousands of troops to besiege our Xiong'er Mountain. With the character of that old devil Kimura, how could he give up so easily if he failed to achieve the goal of annihilating our army!"
"Besides, compared to the loss of food, once the Japanese army invades the hinterland of Xiong'er Mountain, the people will suffer. If they don't withdraw at this time, it will be too late to withdraw!"
However, Li Guoyao smiled and said: "This is indeed the case under normal circumstances, but as far as I know, the little devils will be in big trouble soon, and they won't be able to take care of us by then!"
"big trouble?"
"Chief Commander, is the National Army going to launch a large-scale counterattack in North China?"
Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "There is a counterattack, but it is not the national army!"
¡°If it¡¯s not the National Army, then is it the Eighth Route Army?¡±
"Well, it's the Eighth Route Army!" Li Guoyao nodded and said.
Xu Hu and others were stunned at first, and then they all frowned!
"Chief, let's not mention that the news that the Eighth Route Army is planning a large-scale counterattack is unreliable. Even with their small number of troops, how big a wave can a counterattack make, and can it affect the Lunan battlefield?"
"Yes, Chief, this news is not reliable at all! Tubal Road only has three divisions of troops, and it only has 50,000 or 60,000 people at full strength. I'm afraid they were extinguished by the Japs as soon as they started to move. We still don't expect them to come. Save us!"
"Let's not talk about the number of troops. How can we fight the Japanese with the poor weapons and equipment of Tubal Road?"
"Yes, I heard that many of them are still armed with broadswords and spears, and each gun has less than five rounds of ammunition. They usually fight guerrillas and conduct sneak attacks. But if they fight head-on with the Japanese army, isn't that looking for death? "
?¡
Li Guoyao immediately shook his head as he listened to the crowd talking about his disdain for the Eighth Route Army!
Most of the officers under his command were from the Northeastern Army, and some were recruited from other units of the National Army. Except for a few who had dealt with the Eighth Route Army, the rest of them only knew about the Eighth Route Army through hearsay.
Because of this, they made the same mistake as the Japanese, thinking that the Eighth Route Army would accept the tens of thousands of people in the three sixteen brigades when the changes were made. Therefore, they all showed disdain for the Eighth Route Army's initiative to cause trouble for the Japanese.
Li Guoyao knew that there might be many opportunities for the troops to deal with the Eighth Route Army in the future, so he must correct the thinking of his commanders!
