Although this kind of tactical arrangement is a bit timid, after all, the battle just started last night, and the result is that we have to retreat now. It seems a bit timid anyway.
But the effect was still very obvious. The pursuing Japanese troops quickly saw the strength of Li Guoyao's blocking team.
Originally, the Japanese army planned to pursue them by car, but soon after they left the city, they found that they could not leave because all the roads and bridges from Zhao County to Ningjin County had been blown up by the cunning Japanese.
So much so that the Japanese army clearly had advanced means of transportation but could not use them. This was the first time for Major General Miki Koichi to encounter such tactics. The first feeling was that it was cheating, and the second feeling was that of depression.
You must know that this not only greatly restricted their marching speed, but also dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese army!
Many times an army is not defeated at the hands of the enemy, but in its own battle with itself, especially the test of perseverance.
Although marching on foot is one of the courses that must be learned in the army, if you are harassed and attacked endlessly or even watch your teammates die one by one, anyone alive will have a sense of fear and will subconsciously He wondered if he would be the next to die.
"However, the Japanese army's fighting will is still very tenacious. The Japanese soldiers armed with the spirit of Bushido are indeed not comparable to the Chinese who go to the battlefield with only enthusiasm.
Once the orders from above are issued, no matter how many winds and rains block the road ahead, the Japanese soldiers will still catch up.
The national army¡¯s tactics of harassment with small units certainly slowed down the marching speed of the Japanese army and greatly damaged the morale of the Japanese army to a certain extent, but at the same time it also angered the Japanese and puppet troops.
Out of anger, Major General Miki Koichi immediately gave an order to the Japanese commanders on the front line, asking them to use bayonets to force the puppet troops to go ahead and serve as cannon fodder to clear the way for the Japs.
In the eyes of the Japanese army, these Imperial Army soldiers cannot be considered human beings at all. They are just a group of talking animals. It does not matter how many casualties they have.
"Besides, in the eyes of the Japanese, these Imperial Army troops are still Chinese, and those national troops will show some mercy. And what they want is not much, but to get to Ningjin and Xinghe as soon as possible, and then recover these two counties and restore the situation to what it was before the war started.
Now not only Jinnan, but also Jinzhong, Shannan and Jizhong are fighting. Not only the troops in the region have been mobilized, but also the 36th Division, the 37th Division, the 41st Division and other troops have all been mobilized. was mobilized, so both the North China Front Army Headquarters and the First Army Headquarters hoped that there would be no chaos in southern Hebei.
For this reason, after receiving the top-secret intelligence sent by Shi Yousan, especially after confirming the accuracy of the intelligence, Tada Shun specifically ordered Major General Takahashi, the commander of the 133rd Brigade stationed in Handan, to send 50,000 yuan to Shi Yousan. , and also sent some weapons and equipment in exchange for a promise from the 39th Group Army that they would not take action at this time.
In other words, as long as Li Guoyao's troops are suppressed now, the situation in southern Hebei will be stabilized!
"However, what Miki Koichi and others did not expect was that Lu Zhanwu and others would show no mercy to the puppet soldiers who were timid at the front of the team. They would never hesitate to shoot when they could, and they would never injure them if they could kill them.
Lu Zhanwu and others all know who these puppet soldiers are. Showing mercy to them is tantamount to cruelty to themselves. They will never do such stupid things.
When the 108th Brigade was struggling to advance towards Ningjin County, under Li Guoyao's order, thousands of troops who had withdrawn from the front line arrived at the outskirts of Nangong County and launched an attack on the county town where more than a thousand troops were stationed.
As the most important town in the southeastern region of Hebei, the Japanese army attached great importance to Nangong. After receiving the enemy report, Sangmu Chongming urged Miki Yasuichi's troops to speed up the march, and also ordered the cavalry regiment stationed in Xingtai to rush there immediately. Nangong reinforcements.
Sangmu Chongming, who still felt that his strength was weak, once again sent a report to the Handan garrison commander, Major General Takahashi Shinzo, ordering them to immediately mobilize a regiment of troops, send troops from Handan to Julu, and then go straight to Nangong.
Although this will leave only an under-manned infantry regiment and two groups of imperial alliance troops in the vicinity of Handan, with a total of less than 10,000 people, which can be said to be very empty, but after getting Shi Yousan's support, After the guarantee, Sangmu Chongming felt that the problem was not big.
After all, according to the information they received, the main forces of the Hebei-Chacha War Zone withdrew to northern Henan half a month ago. In southern Hebei, only Shiyou's Third Division and Zhang Yinwu's Hebei People's Army were left. With Li Guoyao's troops heading north, However, the Handan front line has become the safest place.?'s place.
As the fighting on the northern front continues to escalate, the Japanese army invests more and more troops on the northern front!
As of September 8, the Japanese troops on the northern front exceeded three infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment. There were also three puppet army groups. Counting some technical arms, the total strength exceeded 20,000.
You must know that the Japanese army's total garrison in the entire area south of Shimen is only more than 45,000, and the real Japanese army is only 25,000.
In other words, the battle on the northern front has attracted half of the Japanese troops. As a result, the garrison forces in Handan and other places were reduced by more than half overnight.
"However, Li Guoyao is not in a hurry to act. The little devils have not yet been completely mobilized. Once they take action, they are likely to return to their original station in a short time.
Therefore, in Li Guoyao¡¯s view, the battle on the northern front still lacks a fire, and it must be set ablaze!
At that moment, Li Guoyao immediately sent a report to Lu Zhanwu's headquarters, ordering them to evacuate Ningjin County before the 9th. At the same time, the troops behind them should break through Nangong County, but they could not enter the city, creating trouble for the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city. pressure.
After receiving Li Guoyao¡¯s telegram, Lu Zhanwu naturally understood what he meant. Apparently, the commander-in-chief believed that they had not stimulated the Japanese army enough!
Then Lu Zhanwu immediately sent a report to the troops in the Nangong direction, ordering them to strengthen their offensive, and asked the Jinan Administrative Office to secretly contact the commander of the puppet army in Nangong County. According to the Eighth Route Army, the commander of the puppet army in Nangong County was Their people can rise up on the battlefield at any time with just an order.
Originally, Lu Zhanwu didn¡¯t want to detonate the chess piece so early, but since he always gave orders, he naturally didn¡¯t dare to delay.
With Lu Zhanwu¡¯s efforts, the Japanese garrison in Nangong suddenly felt the pressure doubled!
There is no way, there are Chinese troops everywhere outside the city. Even if they want to break out, they can't do it. They stick to the county town and the city wall serves as a fortification to protect them. Once they get out of the city, they will be instantly overrun by the Chinese troops all over the mountains and plains. Swallowed.
This is not nonsense by the Japanese garrison captain. In the past few days, they have all seen clearly that the number of Chinese troops outside Nangong City far exceeded their expectations. There must be more than 10,000 people covering the mountains and plains.
In fact, there are indeed more than 10,000 "national troops" outside the city, but a full 23,000!
These people are all Eighth Route Army militiamen who have completed the mission of breaking out the attack. Since most of them have no weapons and equipment, only some of them are equipped with long guns that have been eliminated by the regular troops. Their combat effectiveness is very poor, and there is no way to fight against the regular Japanese troops.
So after completing the mission, Lu Zhanwu ordered them to withdraw to Nangong, and then went outside the city to cheer for the troops attacking the county seat!
The effect is naturally good. With the support of more than 20,000 people, the field troops attacking the city were only five or six hundred people, but they were so frightened that the more than a thousand puppet troops in Nangong City were trembling. They even had the courage to break through. nothing.
"In fact, you can't say that the little devil is a coward. To be honest, the Japanese army is really not cowardly at all. In terms of fighting will and courage, most of the Japanese army are stronger than the Chinese army.
The Japanese army brainwashed by the Bushido spirit is still very crazy. This can be seen from their fearless charge when attacking!
" But courage is courage. It doesn't mean that the Japanese are not afraid of death. They know that there are tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city, but they don't know that the enemy is just a paper tiger. Who else would have the courage to rush out?
Since they can¡¯t break out, they can only defend. But in this case, most of the Japanese and puppet troops believe that they can¡¯t hold on for long and must call for help!
Under tremendous pressure, the Japanese garrison captain in Nangong County could only continue to send telegrams to the direction of Shimen for help, one after another (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
