Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 621 Great Victory in Southwest Shandong

All the participating troops of the Eighth Route Army were divided into four parts. One regiment was located in the north of the battlefield, and two cavalry regiments were located in the northeast of the battlefield. The weak new regiment battalion is mainly attacking the [-]th Division on the west side.

The 7000th Division of the Appeasement Army originally had four regiments with nearly [-] troops. However, in the early battle with the Eighth Route Army, the third and fourth regiments participated in the battle successively. The two regiments suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese army had no choice but to let them withdraw.

At this time, shells bombarded the camp of the [-]th Division like raindrops. Although the firepower of the six [-]-type field artillery was weaker than that of the entire camp, the rain was small and the thunder was loud.

The third and fourth regiments of the Appeasement Army had just withdrawn from the battlefield, and their morale was already low. Every explosion hit the enemy's heart like a heavy hammer.

"Run, the Eighth Route Army is coming!" A group of puppet soldiers ran to the west.

In a tent, Mi Liangyuan, the commander of the [-]th Division, and the Japanese adviser came out angrily. Mi Liangyuan shouted: "Don't run, stop, guard battalion, anyone who dares to run will be shot immediately!"

"Yes!" A group of guards with live ammunition beside Mi Liangyuan responded.

"Misan, General Kojima has also been bombarded. Immediately gather troops and move closer to the headquarters of the imperial army!" the Japanese adviser said anxiously.

"Hey, Taijun, please give me a few minutes to contain the troops!"

"Hurry up!"

The little devil doesn't need to point it out, Mi Liangyuan also has this intention. Although the [-]th Division seems to have a lot of troops at present, the second regiment has already reached the frontal battlefield, and there is only one regiment in hand.

When it was getting dark, Mi Liangyuan was also a veteran of the battlefield. He knew that there must be ambushes from the Eighth Route Army on the outskirts.

Just as the [-]th Division of the Appeasement Army forcibly assembled its troops, not far from its camp, dark figures stood up.

I saw Zhang Dabiao holding a light machine gun in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The commando team will rush to the front with me, and the rest of the troops will follow. The first and second teams are at the end, follow me!"

"kill!"

"Come on, comrades!"

The commando group of more than [-] people rushed to the front. In order to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, Zhang Dabiao assembled all [-] light machine guns and submachine guns from the first battalion.

Then there is the second echelon of a battalion of more than [-] people. Although at least half of the more than [-] local armed forces have no weapons, they can fill the number.

The number of attacking troops was over a thousand at full count, but the momentum created was not small.

This place is less than five miles away from the camp of the [-]th Division, and there are several security posts along the way. Before the Eighth Route Army troops approached, the soldiers of the Appeasement Army who were in charge of the security found out.

"The Eighth Route Army is here, run!" More than a dozen soldiers of the Appeasement Army ran backward one by one, and even the soldiers with the few remaining guard posts were coerced.

In the camp, before the [-]th Division of the Appeasement Army had assembled, a group of soldiers fled in one after another.

"Master, the Eighth Route Army is everywhere outside, and it's overwhelming!"

"There must be at least four to five thousand people, and you can't see the end at a glance!" Although the puppet army did not really fight against the Eighth Route Army, their words became more evil than each other.

"Baga, you're talking nonsense, you didn't fire a single shot, you ran away, you're dead!" the Japanese adviser stepped forward and grabbed a puppet soldier by the neck and cursed.

"Taijun, the most urgent task is to stop this group of Eighth Route Army, otherwise once our troops are defeated, it will affect the whole battle situation!" Mi Liangyuan whispered.

"Yoxi, Missan, you are loyal to the imperial army!"

After that, Mi Liangyuan ordered the only regiment under his command to be on top, and the guard battalion continued to gather the remnants of the third and fourth regiments of Yingxiao.

The closer he got to the [-]th Division's camp, Zhang Dabiao's mind became calmer. The fire that kept rising in the [-]th Division's camp just happened to guide the group forward.

I saw dark figures rushing out from the opposite side, but without Zhang Dabiao speaking, the soldiers of the commando raised their weapons one after another and aimed at the enemy in front of them.

"Da da da!" The soldiers pulled the trigger, the light machine guns fired at full power, and the enemy's fire power on the opposite side was completely suppressed, and people kept falling down.

Outside the camp of the [-]th Division, several simple fortifications were built. After one regiment fired first, several heavy machine guns of the enemy fired one after another.

Several commando soldiers in the front row fell to the ground one after another. Zhang Dabiao looked at the list and shouted: "Mortar, kill the enemy's firepower!"

The enemy's flaming firepower point was like a conspicuous live target, successfully attracting the attention of the observation post of the reconnaissance company.

In a blink of an eye, the enemy who was trying to organize a line of defense at the gate of the camp was hit by double bombardment. The six field guns were guided by their directions, and a steady stream of shells bombarded them.

"Grandma, how come the Eighth Route Army's cannons seem to have eyes, and they are aimed at our heads!" As soon as the puppet army finished speaking, the surrounding area was immediately shrouded in flames, and half a company of puppet troops beside them were shot. Artillery coverage.

Under the black light and blind fire, an unknown number of the Eighth Route Army attacked outside, and the head was hard to bear the shelling. At the same time, there were shouts of killing from all directions. No one knew that they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and the situation was over.

The morale of the puppet army collapsed, no matter how the officers around them suppressed it, it was useless, and they fled to the surroundings one after another.

In the rear there was a supervisory team composed of the [-]th Division Guard Battalion. Seeing this, the Japanese adviser directly ordered: "Shoot, shoot!"

The soldiers of the guard battalion hesitated a little, and looked at Mi Liangyuan who was on the side. In just a few seconds, at least seven or eight hundred puppet soldiers rushed over and dispersed the guard battalion in one fell swoop.

Zhang Dabiao obviously felt that the enemy's firepower had weakened, and immediately shouted: "Comrades, success or failure depends on one action, break up the enemy's formation for me!"

"Kill!" The shout of killing resounded across the sky, echoing with the sound of fighting in other directions, and the black crowd rushed into the enemy's camp taking advantage of the situation.

The temporary headquarters was set up in the green gauze tent. Zhou Weihan listened to the movement of the battlefield with his hands behind his back, with a serious expression on his face.

In this battle, the appeasement army was the main force, and there were not many real Japanese troops. Don't look at Zhou Weihan's contempt for the appeasement army, but there are too many ants and they can kill elephants.

Luo Benzhong on the side put down the microphone, with a smile on his face, and reported: "Communist, the observation post of the reconnaissance company reported that the first battalion led by Zhang Dabiao and the local armed forces attacked smoothly. Taking advantage of the night, they broke into the enemy camp in one fell swoop. The Ninth Division will collapse at the first touch, and is retreating towards the Japanese headquarters!"

Hearing this, Zhou Weihan slapped his hands, and the expression on his face relaxed obviously: "Okay, this battle is settled!"

Although due to the inconvenience of communication, the actual situation of each unit could not be obtained in time, but the west side with the weakest strength could win the initial victory, and the other three directions naturally went without saying.

At the same time, the situation on the frontal battlefield was one-sided. The Second Regiment of the [-]th Division of the Appeasement Army, which was in charge of the offensive, was afraid to move forward after seeing the tragic situation of the two previous regiments.

At this time, fighting broke out on all sides. The first time the Japanese headquarters was bombarded, the Japanese advisers accompanying the army were decisive and immediately ordered the troops to return to the Japanese headquarters camp.

Afterwards, Jing Dagang ordered that the artillery company shoot out all the shells and bombard the retreating enemy indiscriminately, while another group bit them.

As soon as the screen changed, compared to the other three directions, the camp of the [-]th Division of the Appeasement Army in the east looked very strange.

The two cavalry regiments rushed all the way from the hidden Qinglongji to the camp of the [-]th Division, but they did not see a single soldier of the enemy.

"Captain, no enemies have been found!"

"We don't have any here either!"

"Regimental Commander, the enemy has even taken away the supplies!"

"What?" Zhu Dasheng and Sun Desheng looked at each other, and could see the doubt in each other's eyes.

That afternoon, Sun Liangcheng witnessed the fierce battle on the frontal battlefield with his own eyes. Although the appeasement army launched fierce attacks many times, the Eighth Route Army troops still firmly held the line of defense, but tens of thousands of troops were restrained here by an unknown number of Eighth Route Army.

As night approached, Sun Liangcheng became more and more uneasy. He suspected that Zhou Weihan would eat up the Japanese army and the appeasement army in one fell swoop.

So he told Kojima Kizang that the [-]th Division could go up to attack at night, and went to the [-]th Division's camp in person under the pretext of boosting the morale of the troops.

Kichizo Kojima separated Sun Liangcheng from his direct troops, with the intention of checking and balancing, but seeing that Sun Liangcheng was so upbeat, he immediately agreed.

Afterwards, General Sun Liangcheng's guard regiment stayed behind and led the guard alone to the camp of the [-]th Division. After discussing with Zhao Yunxiang, it was agreed that in the event of an emergency, the troops would move to the southeast to break out of the encirclement.

The attack time of all the troops of the Eighth Route Army is based on artillery fire. Qinglongji, where the cavalry regiment is located, is a distance from the battlefield, which also gave Sun Liangcheng an opportunity. When the cavalry regiment rushed to the camp of the [-]th Division, Sun Liangcheng led his troops slipped away.

"Commander Zhu, the enemy must not be far away. We are coming from the east. The [-]th Division may be running towards the southeast. With the speed of our cavalry, it won't take long for us to catch up! "Sun Desheng said.

Zhu Dashan was also quite annoyed. He originally wanted to fight for a fight, but he didn't expect it to be in vain.

Although Sun Liangcheng has private contacts with the Eighth Route Army, he has been vacillating. Zhou Weihan is very dissatisfied with this. Si Neiyong, a little devil, is still a person of integrity, and Sun Liangcheng is far inferior to Si Neiyong.

Therefore, Zhou Weihan assigned the mission to the cavalry regiment to defeat the [-]th division, and he did not confess to the cavalry regiment's subordinates to be merciful.

"Damn it, I'm not reconciled, the military exploits I got for nothing ran away!" Zhu Dashan said.

Sun Desheng was also unwilling to let others go. Seeing the excitement of his brother's troops fighting, his own troops rushed to nothing. This was more uncomfortable than killing him.

"That's right, we can't just let it go!" Sun Desheng agreed.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield not far away, Zhu Dashan immediately realized that it was not time to hesitate, and then said: "Brothers eat meat, we cavalry must get some soup!"

"In this way, Commander Sun, I will hand over the [-]st and [-]nd companies of my department to you to command, and I will have to bite off a few pieces of meat from the [-]th Division!"

"I will lead the rest of the troops to stay, block the gap, and encircle the brothers' troops. What do you think?" Zhu Dashan said.

"That's it!" Sun Desheng responded immediately.

About ten miles away from the cavalry regiment, Sun Liangcheng and Zhao Yunxiang stood on a small hill with some guards, and the troops along the way were running around.

The two looked at the battlefield in the distance, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

"Junzuo, the Japanese and the [-]th Division are too late this time. Fortunately, you have the foresight to escape from the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army ahead of time!" Zhao Yunxiang said with lingering fear.

Sun Liangcheng was quite complacent when he heard the words, and immediately said: "You will learn a lot of wisdom. When we were in the national army, we suffered a lot from the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army is best at fighting at night!"

"However, although we have preserved our strength this time, we still need to explain to the Japanese afterwards. After all, the Japanese who were placed inside the [-]th Division are all dead!"

While the two were talking, there was a sudden gunshot from behind the marching team. Sun Liangcheng was shocked and immediately realized that the Eighth Route Army was chasing him.

"Damn it, that bastard Zhou Weihan is too dishonest, I've opened a hole in the line of defense, and the Eighth Route Army is still chasing him!"

"You, go and tell the third regiment to leave one of the troops behind, and the rest of the troops to speed up their march!" Sun Liangcheng casually pointed at a guard and shouted.

Due to the lack of convenient communication, the situation on the entire battlefield was relatively chaotic, but before the war, Zhou Weihan clarified the tasks of the various ministries participating in the war, and generally speaking, the various ministries were still able to control the situation.

The troops participating in the war advanced from the west, north, and two directions, and the new regiment, battalion and regiment were gradually connected together, which put more pressure on the enemy.

On the other hand, in the south direction where Li Yunlong was located, the resistance of the Japanese Army Headquarters was not too fierce.

In view of the fact that the Japanese army headquarters only had more than [-] infantrymen, Kojima Kichizo sent more than [-] Japanese troops to cooperate with the tank squadron to fight, and the rest of the main force stayed in the camp to rest.

Under the fierce shelling of the artillery regiment, the Japanese army in the camp was severely damaged. By the time Li Yunlong led his troops to enter, there were very few Japanese troops left.

The only thing that could pose a threat to the participating troops on the battlefield were the six remaining tanks of the Japanese tank squadron, but there were nearly [-] appeasement troops who were driven over.

Although the little devil didn't take the appeasement army's life seriously, the chariot wantonly crushed a group of appeasement army soldiers, but the crowded crowd still delayed the advance of the Japanese chariot.

Taking advantage of the slow movement of the Japanese tanks, a regiment of anti-aircraft guns followed them and destroyed two Japanese tanks again. In the end, all the little devils had to abandon their vehicles and flee.

As the situation on the battlefield became clearer, each participating force sent people to report the results of the battle one after another.

In the headquarters, Zhou Weihan couldn't help laughing: "Old Luo, this battle is going smoother than expected!"

"Yes, Comrade, although we are inferior to the enemy army in terms of numbers, the enemy army is not monolithic inside. Coupled with our artillery superiority, before the infantry attack, the enemy has already suffered heavy losses. How can we be undefeated?" Luo Benzhong laughed. road.

"Generate the power to the headquarters. Great victory in Southwest Shandong. We will win Heze tomorrow!" Zhou Weihan said loudly.

"Just this sentence?"

"Just this one sentence!"
