Zhang Zizhong had a great appetite, Xu Feihu was attracting the Japanese attack on the front line, and he and Zhao Dengyu took the main forces of the Tiger Ben Army and the 59th Army from the east and west sides of Qufu to outflank the main Japanese forces in the north.

At this time, the summer tide had arrived in Luohe City, and at this time, the headquarters of Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps had moved here. Tang Enbo held a reception banquet for the summer tide.

At the banquet, Xia Chao and Tang Enbo were talking and laughing, when a special combat team member came in and reported: "Commander Xia, telegram from Deputy Commander Zhang Zizhong." ”

Zhang Zizhong's telegram reported on the situation of the Japanese army's attack on the base area. After reading it, Xia Chao put down the telegram with an expressionless face, picked up his wine glass, and continued to drink with Tang Enbo.

Tang Enbo asked, "Brother Xia, what happened?" ”

Xia Chao smiled: "It's nothing, the devil attacked Qufu and wanted to open up the Jinpu line." ”

Tang Enbo asked worriedly, "How many troops does the devil have?" ”

Xia Chao said: "The 115th and 104th divisions, the 67th Independent Brigade, the 8th Tank Brigade, and the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade. ”

"Huh?" Tang Enbo's chief of staff stood up in surprise, and Tang Enbo was also very surprised, with such a huge force, his entire 20th Army Corps could not withstand it, and Xia Chao actually had the heart to eat and drink here. His heart is big enough!

Tang Enbo said: "Brother, the situation is critical, do you want me to send someone to send you over immediately?" ”

Xia Chao smiled: "It's okay, I believe Zhang Zizhong and Xu Feihu, don't talk about these devils, even if there are more, it doesn't matter." ”

If it weren't for the fact that Summer Tide had many brilliant achievements, Tang Enbo would have thought he was insane. There are so many devils, as well as tank brigades, and the most powerful thing is that there is even the 6th Brigade of the Wild Heavy Artillery!

The summer tide is full of indifference, and Tang Enbo secretly admires it in his heart. He said, "Brother, is it really yours, do you need my help?" ”

Xia Chao smiled: "Okay, you can do me a favor now." ”

Tang Enbo felt a sudden shock in his heart, worried that he would propose something embarrassing, and he didn't want his troops to fight hard against the powerful Japanese army. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Brother, say it." The tone is not so resolute anymore, and I have been thinking about how to push off the request of the summer tide.

Unexpectedly, Xia Chao said: "Today, if you are not busy, you will accompany my little brother and me to drink well, I am in a hurry every day along the way, and I haven't had a quick drink for a long time." ”

Tang Enbo's heart was put down at once, and he said happily: "Brother, brother and I will accompany you today, and I won't go home if I don't get drunk." ”

During the banquet, Tang Enbo proposed to report the situation to the Military Commission. Xia Chao nodded and ordered the special operations team reporter to report to the Military Commission.

Wuhan Military Commission.

Li Zongren said: "The 12th Army of the Japanese army has a lot of troops dispatched this time, and the pressure of the summer tide is not small. ”

He Yingqin said: "I am afraid that this summer tide will not be able to withstand it, if the Japanese army opens up the Jinpu line, the Japanese army from the north and south converge, and the transportation of materials is unimpeded, the battle of Wuhan will be even more difficult to fight, and it is necessary to prevent it as soon as possible." ”

Bai Chongxi is now very confident in Xia Chao, he said: "The Japanese army may not be able to open the Jinpu line, Xia Chao's 35th Army is not small, and the Japanese army may not be able to drive them out of Lunan." ”

At this time, Chen Cheng said with some worry: "Xia Chao is not in Lunan now, what is he doing at Tang Enbo?" ”

As soon as he heard that Xia Chao was not on the Lunan front, even Bai Chongxi was worried. He said: "Hurry up and give him an order to return to Lunan immediately." ”

Chairman Chiang did not say a word on the side, he knew why Xia Chao was not in Lunan, Xia Chao went to Hanoi, Vietnam, and then Wang Jingwei died, although Dai Li said that Wang Jingwei's death was completed independently by the military commanders, but, with Chairman Chiang's feelings, this matter must be related to Xia Chao.

He silently thought about his thoughts, and the people around him stopped saying anything when they saw him like this, and the war room was quiet for a while.

On the road north of Dawenkou, a brigade of the Japanese garrison in Jinan opened the way in front, with the artillery unit of the 6th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery in the middle, and their own infantry guard brigade in the back.

The devils have no defense, there are tens of thousands of devils in front of them, and in any case, they never imagined that the enemy would appear here.

Without understanding the huge tunnel network of the base area, even the gods would not have imagined that the tunnels here can transport brigade-sized troops.

The ambush battle began, and the well-equipped troops of the Tiger Army, plus two special operations squadrons, attacked the devil artillery who did not even have a gun, and there was no suspense in the battle.

In less than half an hour, the battle was over.

At this time, the unarmed artillery regiment brought by Lucas came in handy, and they adjusted the artillery of the 6th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery to adjust the direction and began shelling towards the Japanese army.

Jing Village, the commander of the 104th Devil's Division, was happy at this time, and the troops of Niudao were attacking Qufu County in front, and when he heard that the losses were not small, he thought to himself: "He deserves it, who let him be coaxed by the cowhide, and rush forward to die?" ”

He was happy to see the jokes, so he drank tea and chatted in the temporary headquarters.

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, followed by a huge explosion.

Heavy shelling, numerous large-caliber shells fell on the assembly area of the 104th Division.

Imura was experienced, and when he listened to the explosions, he knew that this was a large-caliber artillery. He said in his heart: "Evil sect, when did the Chinese army have such a large-caliber artillery, and besides, how could the shells come from the north?" ”

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he howled: "Heavy artillery brigade, that's your own artillery!" ”

Lucas looked at the roaring artillery group, extremely excited, and he shouted: "Hit, hit hard, blow up these damn Japanese yellow-skinned monkeys!" ”

The artillerymen were also very happy, anyway, they didn't have to save shells, they reloaded, fired, reloaded, and fired.

After a full 20 minutes of fighting, Lucas gave the order to put the intact artillery and the truck on the road, and walked a short distance along a fork in the road.

A special operations squadron was left at the scene, and the trucks and artillery that could not be taken away were made into trick mines with the remaining ammunition, and they were monitoring from a distance, waiting for the devil's reinforcements to arrive.

The devil was blown up badly. A 240 mm caliber shell explodes, and within a radius of 50 meters, there will basically be no living people. After 20 minutes of bombardment by nearly 100 artillery pieces, the 104th Division and the 67th Independent Brigade suffered huge losses and basically lost their combat effectiveness.

Part of the troops of the 115th Division also suffered considerable losses.

Ushijima knew that something had happened to the heavy artillery brigade and immediately sent a wing back to the rescue.

At this time, he received a report that a large number of Chinese troops had appeared on the east and west sides of Qufu. Aware of the danger, he decided to immediately disengage from the battle and retreat in the direction of Taean.
