When Zhao Tiehu commanded the second detachment, he successfully captured the military town of Lincheng. The main force of the first detachment deployed around Lincheng earlier also exchanged fire with the little devil reinforcements who heard the news.

More than 500 little devils who rushed to the railway construction site overnight heard the huge gunfire coming from the direction of Lincheng, and the Japanese Shaozo who led the team immediately realized that Lincheng was attacked. Faced with such a situation, the Japanese army Shaozo quickly led his troops back to help.

At the same time, most of the defenders stationed in the surrounding areas of Lincheng sent troops back as long as they knew the news of the attack on Lincheng. It's just that these little devils don't know at all that the main force of the first detachment has been waiting for them for a long time.

Compared with the troops used in the previous attack on Yixian, this attack on Lincheng was also the first time that Zhao Tiehu commanded three detachments to conduct joint operations since the formation of the task force. This also means that the little devils in the city get special care.

The battles in the city were fierce, and the battles outside the city were just as fierce. In order to return to the defenders in the city as soon as possible, the surrounding Japanese puppet troops who rushed to the news also launched round after round of attacks on the fortifications built by the first detachment.

But for the first detachment of the defense, they have plenty of ammunition and stamina. In the face of the constant charging of the little devils, what they have to do is very simple, that is, to drive these little devils down again and again.

Through this kind of defensive warfare, the strength of the Japanese army was constantly depleted. And these little devils didn't know that the third detachment, which should have been evacuated earlier, began to copy their back road and carry out counter-encirclement of the returning Japanese troops.

The Japanese army, who was thinking of returning to Lincheng, found that a large number of Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared behind him and launched an attack on them. Immediately realized that they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and they were also surprised when so many main forces of the Eighth Route Army appeared in Lincheng.

Seeing that the previous attack was fruitless and the many elites who had been lost, the little devil officer who led the team back to help could only say helplessly: "Break through!" ”

In the face of such a situation, let alone the troops who returned to the reinforcement city, even if they were naturally unable to protect themselves. At this time, the only choice is to break through is the wisest choice. And if they break through, they realize that they are defeated on all fronts.

The local troops in Lincheng, who had been waiting for a long time, knew that it was their turn to play. Fighting little devils into formed troops, their strength is naturally insufficient. But there is no problem in defeating the little devils like mourning dogs.

After all, the crowd tactics of local troops can also exert great power at this time. In addition, the little devils broke through in a hurry, and the supplies and ammunition they carried were extremely limited, as long as the local troops bit to the death, these little devils would be in a catastrophe.

When it was dawn, looking at the battlefield that had been cleaned, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Chengwu, you kid must be more careful when you go back this time." This time, you have to be a good temptation to create an opportunity for the main force to encircle and annihilate the little devils.

The fortifications we have built on Weishan Island should not be used lightly until it is absolutely necessary. Remember, don't fight hard with the little devil, and fight and retreat, put the big army of the little devil into the territory of Weishan, and then we will slowly drag him down.

The most important thing is that those who now occupy some of the cities and villages in Weishan are the troops of the Weishan Security Regiment. During this time, they have watched the excitement for so long, and they have to make some efforts. Let's let the security team have fun with the little devils first! ”

'Yes, Captain! Don't worry, I'll get it done! Take care too! ’

After separating outside the city, Zhao Tiehu led the main forces of the first detachment and the third detachment to hide directly in the guerrilla garrison outside the city to rest. Li Chengwu led the second detachment and quickly retreated to the territory of Weishan.

At the same time, the local troops used to mislead the little devils were also divided into several troops and moved towards the territory of Weishan. As a result, this information was quickly detected by the little devils. For a time, the news of the loss of Lincheng also spread throughout Zaozhuang.

First Yixian, and now Lincheng, the fall of the two county towns has caused heavy losses to the little devils, not to mention the number of garrisons in Zaozhuang. For this situation, Eguchi Sataro's anger naturally reached the limit.

But he knew that the current situation could not be reversed by the troops stationed in Zaozhuang alone. Now he can only count on the main force of the sweeping troops stationed in Tengxian County and coming from Jining.

Knowing the main force of the Eighth Route Army, it quickly transferred to the territory of Weishan in batches. Eguchi Zotaro also said very simply: "Order all combat units to rush to Lincheng as quickly as possible, and block all the exits from Weishan to the outside world."

At the same time, he sent a telegram to General Kurokawa, asking him to send the main force from Teng County to attack Weishan. And our department will do everything in its power to block the dirt road that is trying to escape from Weishan. This time, we must not let the dirt eight roads run away. ”

After listening to Eguchi Zuotaro's order, soon a little devil's combat staff officer said: "Dazuo, transfer all the troops to Zaozhuang, what about these places in Yi County?" Our troops there are still very empty! ”

'Give up for now! Without destroying these main forces of the Dirt Eight Road, we will not be able to stabilize the place at all. Yixian has already fallen once, and I believe that it has no value for attacking Tubalu.

As for the local troops on Tubalu, I believe that the troops currently staying in Yixian County, even if they are unable to clear them, can at least hold our county seat, right? This time, I don't want to be led by the nose again.

It is precisely because we attach so much importance to all the occupied areas that we change places with one shot at the Eighth Road, and our troops are exhausted and completely held back by the Eighth Road. If we continue to fight like this, we will not be able to eliminate them at all.

This time, I will care about the safety of these places in Yixian, and I will concentrate all the troops in my hands and trap them in the territory of Weishan. Order all combat units to arrive in Lincheng before tonight, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law! ’

In Eguchi Zotaro's view, the Japanese army encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army earlier, and basically fought from the east, so they ran to the east. When they fought in the west, they ran to the west, and they were completely led by the nose by the Eighth Route Army.

The most fundamental reason was that the Japanese army cared too much about the county towns they occupied. But for the Eighth Route Army, they didn't need to take care of these at all. Where there are mountains, rivers, and people, they are all areas where the Eighth Route Army is active.

If there is an emptiness of troops in the little devil, the Eighth Route Army will pounce on it and bite it. By the time the little devil reinforcements arrived, there was no one left for these Eighth Route Troops to run away with the booty. Such a battle made the Japanese army really exhausted.

And this time, after confirming the attack on Lincheng, the main force of the Eighth Route Army retreated to Weishan in multiple ways. Both the intelligence officers of the special high school and the surrounding people confirmed that they saw the large troops of the Eighth Route Army crossing the border towards Weishan.

With such accurate information, and the rest of the party, no traces of the transfer of the Eighth Route Army were found. In order to break the current passive situation, Sataro Eguchi finally came up with an idiom, that is, 'break the kettle', and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.

Anyway, the situation in the entire Zaozhuang is already chaotic now, and he, the garrison officer who has been in office for less than three months, almost doesn't have to think that the consequences will not be too good. So, at this time, he didn't care too much.

As long as these Eighth Route Army can be eliminated, maybe he will be sent to the cold palace, but at least there is a chance to make up for his life. If you fail again this time, you will simply die on the battlefield, and maybe you can change your reputation.

He personally led an infantry brigade, together with a group of puppet army Zotaro Eguchi, to hand over the matter of guarding Zaozhuang to his military police captain. Ignoring the persuasion of the officers of the congregation, he resolutely decided to go to the front line to take command.

Zhao Tiehu, who learned that the little devils stationed in Zaozhuang almost poured out of the nest, and stayed in the guerrilla camp to receive the news, and said unexpectedly: "It seems that the little devils are planning to play with us this time!" Everywhere else, the little devils don't want it anymore! ”

Zhu Zixi, who was staying in the temporary headquarters, said at the right time: "Detachment leader, I think the little devil is smart this time." They seem to know that if we are not destroyed, the rest of the world will not be able to defend it.

Another thing that the little devils know is that we simply can't occupy these places that they have abandoned. Even now we know that the little devils have shrunk the defenses of many places. But we still don't dare to send troops to garrison it.

If we take over the towns abandoned by those little devils, we will undoubtedly be held back there by the little devils. When the time comes, as long as the little devils organize superior forces, they will surround and annihilate us. This trick is still very effective! ”

Indeed it is! Previously, our troops in Tengxian County also sent a telegram, and the main force of the little devils who had been searching in Tengxian County also began to advance into the territory of Weishan. It seems that our decision with the little devil is still going to start in Weishan!

It's just that the little devil forgot that if we don't occupy those county seats, it doesn't mean that we can't occupy the towns and villages near those base areas! Even if the main force is not stationed, our local troops will be able to establish a democratic government at the township level.

Convey the order and let our local troops begin to take over the towns and villages that the little devils have abandoned. Also, let our local troops clean up the local tyrants and inferior gentry in those towns and villages, and try to squeeze some people's fat and ointment out of them.

Anyway, our policy of dividing up land has been known to many people. The allocated land will be distributed to the people who support us on a priority basis. This time, I'm going to let the little devil lose his wife and break his soldiers.

Even if the little devil now concentrates all his strength and attacks Weishan with all his might. So after the recovery of Zaozhuang City during this period of time, I believe that there should be a lot of materials in the city! Order the troops, turn to Zaozhuang, I want to fight Zaozhuang City.

I want to see if the commander of the little devil learns the news of the loss of Zaozhuang, whether he saves it or not. Hmph, if you want to put it to death and live later, Lao Tzu will just press it to death! ’

Zhao Tiehu, who felt that the two dozen Zaozhuang fighters had come out, and there were still two main forces of the combat detachment in his hands, felt that it should not be difficult to capture Zaozhuang City. For this reason, when the Japanese army in Zaozhuang City rushed to the aid of Lincheng during the day, Zhao Tiehu led the main force to Zaozhuang at night.

If Zaozhuang is captured by the Eighth Route Army again, it is estimated that the Japanese garrison officer Eguchi Zotaro stationed in Zaozhuang will not have any chance to atone for his crimes. After all, being beaten down such a heavy city twice in a row made the Japanese army really shameless!
