Sure enough, just as Li Guoyao expected, after the reinforcements of the Japs gathered in Nangong, they immediately started sweeping the surrounding areas with Nangong as the center!
There is nothing we can do about this. After all, although Li Guoyao's troops evacuated Nangong County, they did not completely evacuate Nangong.
In this case, it means that this force may counterattack Nangong at any time. For the safety of the county, they must completely defeat this force or drive it out of Jinan.
Facing the Japanese raids, the national army was well prepared. The militiamen had all returned to the villages and towns as ordered, and Lu Zhanwu's troops also moved south from Nangong overnight, with the goal of Qinghe.
At this time, there were only more than 8,000 regular troops from the Jinan Administrative Office left in Nangong. According to Li Guoyao's order, this troop still wore the national army's standard military uniforms, and their weapons and equipment had been supplemented and strengthened. Li Guoyao even asked Lu Zhanwu to More than two hundred combat cadres were assigned to them to guide them in combat.
In addition, Li Guoyao also "upgraded" this unit. The 8,000-man team directly declared 35,000 to the outside world, and all infantry regiments were upgraded to brigades.
As a result, the original six regiments instantly became six brigades.
Immediately afterwards, Li Guoyao asked Lu Zhanwu and others to leave all the military flags to the Eighth Route Army before leaving, and asked them to carry these military flags and deal with the Japanese army.
In order to further increase his momentum, Li Guoyao decided to use the method of adding stoves to confuse the enemy. He ordered the Eighth Route Army on the front line that each person must bring a marching shovel and dig their own stoves to cook when camping. They were not allowed to share the stove.
After everything was ready, Li Guoyao ordered the troops from the Jinan Administrative Office to assemble in Zhoucun Town, northeast of Nangong, and divide the troops into three groups to march toward Hengshui.
During the march, he ordered the troops to fly out hundreds of red flags that had been prepared in advance, and also asked the soldiers to drag tree branches forward. The enemy's reconnaissance plane saw the red flags fluttering and dust flying below, and hurriedly reported that the main force of the national army was They are heading north and seem to be attacking Hengshui.
After receiving the report from the frontline troops, Lieutenant General Sangmu Chongming did not dare to neglect. He knew how bad the situation in Jizhong was now. Once Li Guoyao's troops entered Jizhong, the consequences would be disastrous!
Immediately, under the order of Sang Mu Chongming, the Japanese troops in the Nangong area immediately pursued and intercepted the troops of the Jinan Administrative Office!
The pursuing enemies soon discovered the marching stoves left by the Eighth Route Army. After careful counting, there were more than 8,000 of them!
Based on the fact that one stove is usually used by one squad, the total strength of this army may be as high as 80,000.
Even if there are not 80,000 people, there will still be 40,000 people after a discount!
Forty thousand people were undoubtedly the main force, so the Japanese army pursued them even tighter, and at the same time ordered troops from Hengshui, Zaoqiang and other places to intercept them.
In an instant, the battle on the northern front escalated again!
Seeing that the Japanese army had been fooled, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the Eighth Route Army to lead the troops into Qingsha Zhang and circle with the enemy between villages and small towns.
It¡¯s early September, the hottest time of the year, and the heat is unbearable!
Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army was here. After all, they were lightly armed. Most of the soldiers only had one long gun and not many bullets. As for heavy weapons, let alone heavy weapons. There were only more than 30 light and heavy machine guns in total with more than 8,000 people. There are even fewer artillery, only two small-caliber mortars, and not even grenades, let alone infantry artillery, mountain artillery, and field artillery!
There is no burden of heavy equipment, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers wear cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, which are comfortable to walk. They are also familiar with the terrain and avoid detours, which saves a lot of energy and can still persist.
But the Japanese army was different here. They wore thick military uniforms, dragged heavy equipment, and wore suede leather shoes under their feet. Some of them even wore military boots. They were all panting from exhaustion and complaining incessantly.
On the first day, the situation of the Japanese army was good, but on the second day, the speed immediately dropped, and the morale was not as good as before. By the third day, the entire army had no energy.
After receiving the news from the front line, Li Guoyao smiled!
It has been six and a half days since the war started on September 6. During this period, the main force of the Japanese 110th Division and a large part of the puppet troops were mobilized, and the main force has moved away from southern Hebei.
At this time, whether it is the female soldier brigade, the Luxi Independent Brigade that has withdrawn from the Nangong area, or the Dongshan detachment led by Zhang Tengjiao, they are all ready for combat. It is time to act!
On the afternoon of the 13th, Li Guoyao issued a general offensive order to the frontline troops!
Act in accordance with Li Guoyao's orderStarting at 8 o'clock in the evening on the 13th, the Luxi Independent Brigade's attack route was to attack Qinghe first, and then go straight to Handan along Qinghe, Linxi, Qiuxian and Quzhou.
The female soldier brigade¡¯s combat plan is to start with the daimyo, then attack Wei County and Cheng¡¯an, and finally join forces with the Luxi Independent Brigade in Handan City.
The Dongshan detachment was divided into three and launched attacks on Cixian, Wu'an and Yongnian at the same time to coordinate the actions of the Western Shandong Independent Brigade and the Female Soldiers Brigade.
According to Li Guoyao's battle plan, the three troops attacked at the same time and then fought to a quick victory.
They only deal with fighting, and leave the aftermath to the people at the Jinan Administrative Office. After all, the Eighth Route Army has its own administrative organization throughout Jinan, which will greatly save time and energy.
¡° Moreover, Li Guoyao also made an agreement with Yang Shufeng that no matter how much spoils were obtained in this battle, both sides would divide the spoils according to thirty-seven, of which Li Guoyao¡¯s troops would occupy seven and the Eighth Route Army would occupy three.
It seems that this share ratio is a bit unfair, but Yang Shufeng and others know that they have taken a big advantage. After all, the Eighth Route Army basically does not have to worry about things like siege cities and land. They only need to take over the territory and collect the loot. This is not Are you picking up money for nothing?
At eight o'clock in the evening, the general attack officially begins!
Following Li Guoyao¡¯s order, the troops took action quickly!
The battle started on the Daming side first, and the female soldier brigade was divided into two. One part attacked the Daming County town, and the other part attacked the Wei County town.
For these two counties, the female soldier brigade is quite familiar with it, especially Daming County. They had been stationed here for more than a month before, and they quietly left a lot of hidden stakes in the city before leaving.
Therefore, this battle was fought without any pressure. When the main force of the female soldier brigade appeared outside Daming County, the Japanese and puppet troops defending the city were not aware of it. They only knew that the national army was coming when the sound of gunfire sounded.
However, at this time, the hidden stakes left by the female soldiers brigade in the city also began to take action. Although there were not many of them, they cooperated with the main force to easily defeat the Japanese and puppet troops at the south gate of Daming County and opened the city gate.
Less than twenty minutes after the war started, the Daming County town, which has always been famous for its sturdiness, was broken, and then female soldiers entered the city!
There are about 800 Japanese and puppet troops in the city, including 400 Japanese troops and slightly more puppet troops, but less than 500.
Facing more than 3,000 national troops, the Japanese and puppet troops knew they could no longer hold on, so they immediately broke through toward the north gate.
Although the Japanese army withdrew relatively simply, in the end only more than 200 Japanese soldiers broke through, and the rest were all eaten by the female soldier brigade.
After solving the Japanese and puppet troops in the county, the main force did not rest and launched an extermination operation against six Japanese strongholds in Daming overnight. Li Guoyao and the main officers of the female brigade moved into Daming County with the entire headquarters. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
