The Republic of Heroes

Wu Xiaoliang, who received the battle report from Ye County, finally heaved a sigh, the fish had bitten the hook to death.

"Commander Dong was ordered by telegram to order the [-]th Division of the headquarters to quickly move in the direction of Ye County, and cooperate with Zhang Zhonglin to attract Japanese firepower."

At the same time when Wu Xiaoliang ordered Dong Haibin's [-]th Division to quickly move towards Ye County, Tsukada Gong's [-]st Mixed Brigade and Sakai Naoji's [-]nd Mixed Brigade barely reached the outskirts of Ye County, waiting for the Ninth Division When the regiment was withdrawn, they joined a new round of siege.

But in fact, in Wu Xiaoliang's plan, Ye County was the center, so as to attract a large number of Japanese troops to go here continuously, and then make them be attacked by the enemy and wiped out in separate ways.It has the same effect as siege and aid, but he is defending and aiding.

Unknowingly, the Japanese army has begun to fight according to the plan foreseen by Wu Xiaoliang in advance. The most important thing in this battle is the county seat of Ye County.How sure is Wu Xiaoliang that Zhang Zhonglin will be able to defend this small county under the superior force of the Japanese army?

In fact, Wu Xiaoliang began to carry out coastal defense projects in many towns along the coast of the Shandong Peninsula very early on. One of these costly and costly projects was chosen in Ye County.That is to say, at the beginning, the net was cast widely, and preparations were made to prevent possible Japanese landings in the future.Unexpectedly, the Japanese army took the risk and prepared to send a large force to land in Shandong to threaten Jinan.This information was detected by Wu Xiaoliang who was stationed inside the staff headquarters of the Japanese Army's Northern China Dispatch Army, so when he learned that Okamura Ningji was going to land in Ye County, he began to prepare accordingly.

At first, he was not sure that the Japanese army would land in Ye County, so he made many preparations.A large number of troops were mobilized on the front line of the entire Shandong Peninsula. As long as one place was attacked, other troops could arrive for reinforcements within a day.Later, the Japanese landing battle broke out at Zhuqiao, not far from Ye County.Many people began to get nervous, and Wu Xiaoliang's staff questioned the inaccuracy of the information, but he finally restrained his emotions about the expansion of the Zhuqiao war, withstood the pressure of the staff, and did not mobilize a large force to attack Zhuqiao. Close to the bridge direction.

The final facts proved that the inside information was accurate, and Neiji Okamura did not change his plan to land in Ye County.All of this is due to the fact that the military deployment was not exposed because Zhu Qiao took the lead. Otherwise, with Okamura Neiji's paranoia, once he detects that so many troops are deployed in the east of the peninsula, he will definitely be aware of it, and change the plan and give up on the deployment. Landing in Ye County.

Now that Wu Xiaoliang chose to land in Ye County, the second part of the plan will be officially launched. Zhang Zhonglin and his first independent brigade are the key to this step.

For Zhang Zhonglin and others, he fully trusts his ability.Although in Wu Xiaoliang's previous life, this person was also outstanding in ability, but he became famous because of Meng Lianggu's first battle and became the lieutenant general and commander of the 74th Division who was killed in the reorganization.And in this life, because of Wu Xiaoliang's arrival, I believe that the killed Lieutenant General of the Reorganized 74th Division will never appear again.Because he didn't even have the chance to change his name from the Chinese character, Zhang Zhonglin, his original name, was destined to civilize China along with the bitter war against Japan.Let him appear in today's China and in the history books of later generations as an anti-Japanese hero.

Wu Xiaoliang deliberately promoted him in this way, and it was also to make up for the anti-Japanese soldier who was sent to the army by Peking University and insisted on returning to the battlefield in order to fight against Japan regardless of his own injuries. In the end, this American general also became a lame general because of his leg aggravation. nickname.

In the end, Zhang Zhonglin did not disappoint Wu Xiaoliang. He successfully survived the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese naval guns. As soon as he entered the battle, he unexpectedly wiped out an entire regiment of the Japanese army. Stick firmly to Ye County.The strategic deployment for the rear won the decisive time for the outcome of the entire battle.

In the end, all of Neiji Okamura's belongings that landed in Shandong were attracted to Ye County, but this was not enough.Wu Xiaoliang knew that Terauchi Shouichi in the north even coordinated the navy's task force for this landing.Therefore, once the war in Ye County is blocked, I am afraid that the general in the temple who is sitting firmly in Beijing will definitely send troops to reinforce by sea one after another.

As long as reinforcements continue to come from the sea, it will be like a refueling tactic. I believe that these Japanese troops that arrive one after another will soon be eaten by the various troops deployed by Wu Xiaoliang around Ye County.

As for the two mixed brigades that arrived from Zhu Qiao, it was more than enough to send the main force of the Seventeenth Division to deal with them.

Besides, Kuribayashi Tadao and Miyake Miyake, who were blocked in Linzi County, faced the elite troops of the 57th Division. They finally changed from attackers to defenders, and the defensive battle was extremely lame.Or it could be said that Li Zejun didn't give them a chance to react and take a breather to deploy defenses.

After the first encounter, each unit of the 57th Division took turns to fight the Japanese army in turn like a wheel battle, fighting the Japanese army non-stop.However, the losses of the Japanese army have been extremely heavy, and no more than one-third of the entire cavalry brigade has horses that can form a battle.The situation of Miyake Mitsuji's infantry brigade is relatively good. Since the entire right wing has been preserved intact, more than half of the troops with combat effectiveness still remain.

Therefore, there is still a bitter battle after dawn.

Until this moment, neither Kuribayashi Tadamichi nor Miyake Miyake had given up their plan to attack Jinan. They were still fantasizing about defeating the Chinese army that intercepted them before continuing to march.Even if the combat power is not enough to win Jinan or cause substantial damage to Jinan, it can cause panic in Jinan, make it change its strategic deployment and rush to aid Jinan, which is considered to be the completion of the task. time.

It's just that they didn't expect that even if they got to the city of Jinan, it was just a needless struggle, because Okamura Ningji in Ye County was already in a state of desperation, and the ninth division's four-sided tactics finally failed to win this small county.At the most critical moment of the battle, the artillery unit that was not found opened fire again, and the entire Ninth Division was under the firepower of the cannons. In the end, the morale of the siege soldiers was seriously hit, and Neiji Okamura had to order Retire and recuperate, waiting for another battle.

But the Chinese army will not let him stop. The Chinese army from the west launched a surprise attack on the mixed brigade of Sakai Naoji on its flank, which caught everyone by surprise. Why did the Chinese army come so fast?
