The news of the attack on Zaozhuang not only shocked the people of the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Even the rest of the Japanese troops who received the news found it equally incredulous. In the case of heavy troops gathering in Zaozhuang, the Eighth Route Army still dared to take the initiative to attack, which is how bold.

At this moment, Zaozhuang's troops were empty, and many troops were sent to the railway line. The infantry brigade from Jining also needs one to two days to reach Zaozhuang, which means that far water can't save the near fire.

After receiving a telegram from the Zaozhuang garrison officer Kobayashi Shoya Osa, the commander of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Jining, Kimura Hyotaro was also shocked: "The Eighth Route Army attacked Zaozhuang and dispatched a large artillery unit? ”

'Yes, General, this is the telegram that has just been received. According to our call-back inquiry, the offensive of Tuba Road is very fierce, and the Zaozhuang Garrison Command is withstanding the attack of Tuba Road. Even after that, we lost contact with them! ’

'What? You mean, we lost contact with Zaozhuang Radio? ’

'Yes, General! When we were contacting them earlier, the radio station in Zaozhuang suddenly did not answer. ’

Although the latter words were not spoken, the intelligence officer who reported the news could somewhat guess that the Japanese army in Zaozhuang was only afraid of more evil and less auspicious at this moment. But what he couldn't figure out was how Zaozhuang, which was guarded by nearly a thousand troops, could fall so quickly?

In fact, the Japanese puppet army in Zaozhuang at this moment also seemed a little overwhelmed in the face of the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army that had entered the city. In the eyes of many of the defending troops, they also did not expect Zaocheng to fall so quickly.

The garrison headquarters could not be attacked, and new offensive opponents appeared behind them, and many Japanese puppet troops who were encircled on both sides could only choose to retreat in other directions. If there had been organization at this moment, perhaps such a thing would not have happened.

In fact, Zhao Tiehu, who raided the garrison headquarters, wanted to destroy the command structure of the little devil in the city. Taking advantage of the meeting of the senior officers of the little devils, he made a decisive attack and quickly attacked the garrison headquarters.

The little devil who guards the garrison headquarters, despite being an elite gendarmerie unit in the Japanese army. But in the face of the commandos brought by Zhao Tiehu, they also fell into a situation of defeat and retreat. This scene also made Kobayashi Zhao feel incredible.

'Yaga! What kind of troops is this? Why can't our gendarmerie resist? ’

The captain of the military police, Koichi Ishida, who led the troops to block the attack, also said with a bitter face: "Dazuo, this group of Tubalu firepower is very fierce, skilled in cooperation during combat, and more accurate marksmanship, I am afraid that it is the elite troops of Tubalu."

For your safety, you might as well retreat out of the city! We, the gendarmerie, will be sure to guarantee your safety. The opponent's offensive is fierce, and it will be dangerous to continue to stay in the headquarters. Protect Dazuo and withdraw! ”

Seeing that the gendarmerie under his command continued to decrease, and the attacking Eighth Route Army continued to attack and press, Ishida Koichi felt very ashamed, but he knew that this group of Eighth Route Army was very elite, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to resist the other party.

In order to ensure the safety of Akiya Kobayashi, and also for the safety of the rest of the officers, he must send someone to cover the evacuation of Akiya Kobayashi and others. Only in this way can he continue to fight with the Eighth Route Army with all his strength in the city.

Although this idea is good, Ishida Koichi didn't expect it at all, this is actually what Zhao Tiehu wants to see. As long as Akiya Kobayashi and these officers retreat, the remaining little devils in the city will face a scattered situation.

Constantly pushing the attacking troops forward, ignoring the little devils from all walks of life in the city, Zhao Tiehu hit and rushed violently, Kobayashi Akiya and others finally chose to retreat for safety. It's just that before retreating, they sent out the situation of the attack on Zaozhuang.

Not long after, the radio team of the garrison headquarters also destroyed the codebook and withdrew from the headquarters along with it. As for the bulky radio, they naturally couldn't take it away. As a result, it is obvious that the outside world has lost contact with Zaozhuang.

If Zhao Tiehu's attack on Zaozhuang shocked the Japanese army and the anti-Japanese troops in Shandong, then Zhang Jingshan, who also received the news, was also very surprised and said: "This tiger boy, is he crazy?" Hit Zaozhuang? ”

In order to ensure the smooth operation, Zhao Tiehu did not send a telegram to the column to ask for instructions before the war, and directly chose to fight first and then speak. Even when he received the telegram, Zhang Jingshan also looked very incredulous.

When Zhang Jingshan sent a telegram to inquire about the situation, Chen Wan, who was staying outside the city, quickly replied: "The troops have entered the city and are fighting fiercely!" ”

The reply of just a few words made Zhang Jingshan and many column commanders feel incredulous: "What? With such a few people, he will attack Zaozhuang? How is this possible? ”

Even if they have been active in the Yimeng Mountains, they know the importance of Zaozhuang to the Japanese army. In such a military city, there must be a lot of troops stationed by the little devils, and the difficulty of attacking the city can be imagined.

But now Chen Wan sent back a telegram, clearly informing the troops that they had entered the city and were in the midst of fierce fighting. For the leaders of the column, they were undoubtedly frightened by the combat effectiveness of the task force.

Political Commissar Li Yu quickly said: "Lao Zhang, send another telegram to the task force and ask them how their situation is now!" ”

'Let's wait! At this time, they were estimated to be in a fierce battle. The previous call back was sent back by Xiao Chen. It is estimated that this will, the tiger boy should lead the troops into the city. This kid is still this stinky temper! ’

As Zhao Tiehu's old chief, Zhang Jingshan knows very well that Zhao Tiehu likes to go into battle in person every time he fights. Even when he came to Zaozhuang, Zhang Jingshan also warned Zhao Tiehu and asked him to always remember that he was the supreme commander of the task force.

But he knew very well that as long as the gunshots rang out, Zhao Tiehu would not be able to stay in the rear at all. Even before, every time he heard the horn, Zhao Tiehu was the one who rushed to the front. This kind of courage is also a headache.

When the first column and the 32nd Division of the Japanese army were worried about Zaozhuang, the third detachment, which was responsible for blocking the attack outside the city, soon saw three blazing signal flares fired over Zaozhuang City.

Seeing that the little devil's reinforcements had not yet arrived, Zhu Zixi, who cooperated with the battle, immediately said: "The blocking troops are on standby, and the reserve team will follow me into the city." Inform the guerrillas and prepare to go into the city to carry supplies. ”

When he came out this time, Zhu Zixi finally brought out the hundreds of rescued prisoners of war after some consideration and inquiry. As for the miners, they are also staying with the guerrillas at the moment, waiting to help transfer supplies.

Several prisoner of war officers who had already decided to join the Eighth Route Army said in surprise: "Captain Zhu, our troops are going to attack the city?" How many little devils are stationed in this city? ”

The signal flare just now was a signal from the detachment leader, and they should have successfully entered Zaozhuang City. I don't know exactly what happened, but we'd better hurry over and maybe get some leftover soup to drink! ’

'Yes! Brothers, hurry up, let's go to the city to fight the little devils! ’

In the past few days after being rescued into the mountains, many prisoners of war felt the preferential treatment given to them by the Eighth Route Army. And they already knew that the Eighth Route Army did not force them to join. If they want to leave, the Eighth Route Army will also pay them travel expenses.

But many of the surviving POWs did not want to return to their old units. For them, avenging those comrades who died in vain may be their next mission. Therefore, when Zhu Zixi invited this time, they also decided to join the reserve team.

Regarding the choice of these prisoners of war, Zhu Zixi is naturally optimistic. Zhao Tiehu also told him earlier that for the choice of these prisoners of war, he respects the choice of prisoners of war more. After all, a twisted melon is not sweet!

Only if the prisoners of war are truly willing to join the Eighth Route Army, then they will not regret this choice. As long as they sincerely join the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Tiehu will also sincerely welcome them, and give them the same treatment as other Eighth Route Army soldiers.

When Li Chengwu led the second detachment to rush into the city, and not long after joining Zhao Tiehu, looking at the Japanese puppet army that was still insisting on blocking in the city, Zhao Tiehu also didn't say much, and ordered all parts to disperse and continue to attack.

Kobayashi Shoya, who withdrew from the garrison headquarters, looked at the troops that had been assembled one after another, and found that there did not seem to be many troops of the Eighth Route Army attacking. At this time, it was natural to think of launching a counterattack and recapturing the garrison headquarters occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

'Yaga! Just such a little dirt road actually scared thousands of our troops away. Fight back, organize the troops to launch a counterattack, and knock them out of the city. Attack, attack at all costs! ’

As Xiao Lin Zhao refused to withdraw from Zaozhuang like this, and resolutely chose to fight with Zhao Tiehu's commando team in the city, Zhao Tiehu also did not feel any surprise. After all, in terms of military superiority, it is indeed the little devils who have the advantage.

It's just that not long after the fight, many Japanese puppet troops found that the Eighth Route Army attacking Zaozhuang this time was something they had never encountered before. The three-person team advanced in an orderly manner, with long and short guns and accurate shooting, and the grenadiers hit more accurately than the little devils.

In the face of these Eighth Route Army, which was still calmly advancing and launching an offensive, many puppet troops seemed to have lost the confidence to counterattack, and when they cooperated with the battle, most of them became cheating and slippery. And the troops of the little devils in the city are not too many in themselves.

Coupled with the battle of the garrison headquarters, the most elite Japanese gendarmerie in the city suffered heavy casualties. After a fierce battle, Kobayashi Akira also found that they had the advantage of troops, but they had become people who kept retreating.

'Na! Are you still the elite warriors of the Empire? A bunch of dirt roads, can't you beat them? ’

For such a reprimand, many officers of the little devils felt full of shame. But the reality is in front of them, they really can't defeat the Eighth Route Army that raided Zaozhuang tonight. Whether it is marksmanship or combat skills, they are much worse.

Just when Kobayashi Akiya was still unwilling, he planned to reorganize the Japanese puppet army in the city and continue to counterattack. Koichi Ishida, who was in charge of supervising the battle in front, suddenly ran back and said, "Dasa, Tsuchibachi has increased its troops again!" ”

As soon as these words came out, even if Kobayashi Zhao was unwilling, he knew that they had to withdraw. They can't deal with these troops in the city, and now that the Eighth Route Army has reinforcements, if they don't retreat, it is really possible that the whole army will be wiped out here.
