337. The Fifth Division was annihilated

There are spies!

This is Chen Yinxian's first thought, the personnel of the Jinan Working Committee are all secrets, and even the Japanese troops who occupied Jinan don't know, how can Lin Feng know. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"General Lin guessed wrong, but there are more than a dozen people......

"Okay, okay, more than 200 people, I don't want to do anything to you, why are you so cautious!" Lin Feng interrupted Chen Yinxian's words and said: "I want you to inform you that I will be killed in Taiyuan in five days, if you want to fight devils and pick up equipment, remember to hurry up." ā€

"Jinan is not fighting?" Chen Yinxian calculated in his mind that from here to Taiyuan, he had to run more than 500 kilometers, and the large army marched 50 kilometers a day, and five days of marching was not enough.

"Fight, why don't you fight." Lin Feng still has to act with Nishio Shouzo, how can he do it if he doesn't fight.

"Then how can there be enough time, the march will take more than ten days, how can there be time to fight?" Chen Yinxian was confused.

Lin Feng explained: "The mechanized march of our extraterritorial group army, from Hangzhou to Laiwu for more than 700 kilometers, took less than three days, from here to Taiyuan, 600 kilometers, even across the Yellow River I can reach the city of Taiyuan in three days." ā€

Chen Yinxian wiped his sweat and asked, "Is two days enough time to defeat the Japanese army?" ā€

"It's not good to say, maybe it's a victory, maybe it's a defeat, anyway, I will definitely go to Taiyuan in five days." How can Lin Feng say that he defeated the Japanese army and still had to act.

"Since General Lin wants to go to Taiyuan, I will go back and send a telegram." Chen Yinxian's position is too small, and he has nothing to say to a first-level general like Lin Feng, so he will say goodbye to Lin Feng and report the situation.

After waiting in Laiwu for a day, the Fifth War Zone mobilized nearly 150,000 troops to concentrate near Laiwu, intending to cooperate with Lin Feng to attack Jinan City and pick up merit and benefits.

And Itagaki Seishiro has also arrived in Jinan, Nishio Shouzo didn't talk nonsense with Itagaki Seishiro this time, and directly told Itagaki Seishiro that the extraterritorial group army was waiting for supplies in Laiwu because of the 700-kilometer expedition of the labor division and poor logistics.

It was requested that Seishiro Itagaki lead the 5th Division, which was capable of fighting well, to attack the extraterritorial army head-on, and the 10th Division and the 108th Division to assist the 5th Division.

Itagaki Seishiro was also anxious for revenge, and he didn't think about why the 10th and 108th Divisions had already arrived in Jinan but did not attack, and led the 5th Division straight to Laiwu, clamoring for the total annihilation of the 250,000 'rabble' of the extraterritorial group army and the Fifth Theater.

Lin Feng arranged the forces of the extraterritorial group army from Laiwu to the west along the line of Tai'an and Pingyin, while the troops of the Fifth Theater were deployed from Laiwu to the northeast and to the areas of Zibo and the Yellow River, encompassing Jinan tightly.

This encirclement is exactly like the Japanese army in Central China when it surrounded Nanjing, which was surrounded by Japanese troops except for the direction of the Yangtze River, and Jinan was surrounded by all but the direction of the Yellow River.

Itagaki Seishiro fought heartily in Shanxi, and now he does not pay attention to the Chinese army, and directly moves the division headquarters outside the city, which is only 20 kilometers away from Laiwu.

"This Itagaki Seishiro is so arrogant, he actually put the headquarters on our gun, this kind of death behavior is really commendable!" Lin Feng was also worried that Seishiro Itagaki would set up his headquarters in Jinan City, and this drama would not be easy to perform.

"Sir, do you want rocket artillery coverage?" Sun Liren asked after Lin Feng.

Lin Feng shook his head, "Don't cover it, Itagaki Seishiro has run out, directly make dumplings for the 5th Division, and order the armored division to march north from the direction of Tai'an, copy the back road of the devils, and if you encounter the 10th and 108th Divisions, stay away." ā€

Sun Liren looked at Lin Feng suspiciously, but he didn't ask for an exit, and directly gave an order to the armored division, first cut off the communication between the 5th Division and Jinan, and then cooperate with the attack.

It took only an hour for the Panzer Division to build positions on the road from Tai'an to the north and then to Jinan and Laiwu to the east, and then defended on all sides.

Then there was nothing to do with Lin Feng, the 5th Division was annihilated, the order was already there, and Chen Cheng, Zhang Zhizhong, Hu Zongnan, and Sun Liren couldn't eat in vain.

"Baga, how can there be armored troops behind us!" When Seishiro Itagaki received the report, his heart was about to explode, on the ground in Shandong, the Imperial Japanese Army did not have an organized armored force, could it be that the military strength of the foreign army group on the opposite side was already so strong!

"Hi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, the roads between us and Jinan, the 10th Division, and the 108th Division are all blocked, please show Your Excellency the Division Commander, how should we deal with it?" The meaning of what Chief of Staff Sakurada Takeshi said is obvious, boss, we are surrounded, what's the matter?

"Attack, launch a frontal attack on Laiwu." Itagaki Seishiro pulled out his command knife, the imperial army has always been used to attack, what is the encirclement, look at my Itagaki Seishiro after defeating more than 30 divisions in Shanxi, he can defeat 250,000 soldiers in Shandong.

"Hey, Your Excellency the Division Commander is wise!" Takeshi Sakurada saluted.

The mountain guns of the artillery company of the 5th Division rang out, and there were only 30 75mm mountain guns with a range of less than 10 kilometers, and there were 12 120mm howitzers.

The soldiers of the extraterritorial group army hiding behind the bunker were smiling and smoking, there was no tension of a big war at all, and there was a lot of artillery bombardment.

As the Japanese artillery wing opened fire, the Japanese infantry also began to approach the positions of the group armies outside the territory, and as soon as the artillery fire began to extend backwards, they immediately rushed over to clean up the mess.

However, before the Japanese infantry could take a few steps, the sound of continuous heavy artillery fire was heard from behind the positions of the extraterritorial army group, and the first target of a large number of shells was the Japanese artillery wing.

After three bursts of rapid fire, the Japanese artillery wing was dumbfounded, and 500 heavy guns with a caliber of more than 203mm were used to deal with a wing.

Then the howitzers below 203mm also began to pour shells at the Japanese army, this time even more fiercely, all the guns that were firing were counted, more than 2,000, and the most ruthless thing was that the rocket artillery division was not idle, and threw out all the rockets that had been loaded.

The Japanese soldiers of the 5th Division were like the end of the world, countless shells exploded everywhere, countless rocket artillery pieces fell from the sky with the firelight, and they couldn't hide, and there were no ready-made anti-artillery holes for the Japanese soldiers to use on the way to charge.

Nearly 1,000 tanks and armored vehicles were lined up from the Laiwu and Tai'an lines to Jinan.

The 5th Division, which had already suffered heavy casualties from heavy artillery and rocket artillery, and was completely stunned, did not even make a splash, and was completely annihilated by the foreign army group before dinner, and Seishiro Itagaki was bombed by heavy artillery and could not even find ashes.

The troops of the Fifth Theater exchanged fire with the 10th and 108th Divisions, and there were casualties on both sides in half a day. (To be continued.) )
