Xia Chao didn't expect that the next battle would get bigger and bigger, far exceeding his expectations. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At the suggestion of the Xia Dynasty, Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army left a small number of troops to stay in Lanling County, and all of them were concentrated in the area of Baoqinggu. Xia Chao not only gave them the new weapons he had promised, but also equipped all the captured Japanese-style weapons to the 59th Army, which greatly improved their combat effectiveness.

The Japanese troops in Shandong did not have many troops, mainly the 104th Division under Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, commander of the 12th Army, which was stationed in Jinan; The 14th Division was stationed in Qingdao; Then there are 3 garrisons (equivalent to brigades, 3 infantry brigades and other directly subordinate units, with a total strength of 5,000 people). Along the Jinpu Railway, it is deployed from north to south.

Stationed in Zaozhuang is the Yamamoto garrison, captain Yamamoto Kazuki. The defenders were a garrison headquarters and an infantry brigade, with more than 1,600 people; There are more than 1,800 people in a regiment of the puppet army.

Two days earlier, Kazuki Yamamoto had received an order from the commander of the 12th Army, Otaka Kamezo, to clear the railway line and ensure the opening of the railway.

Kazuki Yamamoto was very angry at the attack by the special combat team, he did not know where this group came from, and in just half a month, he had been attacked three times, which greatly delayed the repair of the railway. He was reprimanded by Ogaka Kamizo for this.

On this morning, Kazuki Yamamoto left a squad of the Japanese army and a battalion of the puppet army, and he took the main force to go to Weishan County. He knew that it was now occupied by the national army, but, according to experience, there were not many national troops in the county, and perhaps as soon as they went, the enemy ran away. This is how most of Shandong was defeated.

The Japanese army was having breakfast when they heard gunfire and explosions in the direction of Zaozhuang Station. Then Kazuki Yamamoto received a report that the station had been attacked.

Yamamoto was furious, and he hated these attackers so much that he immediately ordered to set off. The devil puppet army ate half of the meal and ran out in a panic.

The attack on the station was a detachment of the special combat team, they made a feint attack on the station, killed a few devils, threw a few bombs, and then retreated in the direction of Weishan County.

Yamamoto Kazuki was amused, he was trying to take Weishan County, just all the way.

He had only a small number of cars, and after chasing them not far away, he was blown up by a mine on the road. Not knowing how many mines there were, he ordered his troops to get out of their cars, bypass the road ahead and pursue them on foot.

The group in front of them, shooting back as they ran, their guns were not accurate, and occasionally they would kill one or two devils. The devil's anger was beaten out, and he desperately chased after him.

Strange to say, the physical strength of that group of people is very good, and they always maintain a distance of about 200 meters from the devil.

The devil who ran in front was a little tired, so he stopped to rest. The gang disagreed, and shot at them again, and the devil was beaten in a hurry, and he stopped talking about the formation, and pursued desperately.

Kazuki Yamamoto is not tired because he is a horseback rider. He didn't dare to run ahead, so he urged the devils to run quickly. He chased after him with all his might, completely unaware of the danger.

He was riding on his horse and saw that there was a horse in front of him, and there could be no ambush.

Yamamoto Kazuki's troops ran forward for another kilometer, and something unexpected happened to Yamamoto Kazuki. It was obviously a flat field, but suddenly a large number of figures appeared from the ground, and they quickly set up a large machine gun.

It turned out that Xu Feihu had asked the troops to dig a trench 100 meters away from the highway in advance last night, and after the troops entered, they sent people to cover it with a cover and bury soil on it, and they were camouflaging, and they couldn't find it until they got closer.

Yamamoto Kazuki knew that he had been fooled, and a thought flashed through his mind: This ambush method is very clever, and he can use it himself in the future. However, he didn't have a chance.

Just when he shouted: "Enemy attack". Lucas, who had been following him for a long time, let him go back to his hometown with one shot. Then an explosion sounded on the road. Subsequently, more than 500 machine guns opened fire in unison. In less than 3 minutes, 100,000 rounds of ammunition were gone.

If Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu saw this, they would not be distressed to death, these guys are all losers.

Xu Feihu, who is in charge of command, doesn't care so much, the matter of weapons and ammunition is not in his hands, and he doesn't worry about it, just enjoy it.

After 10 minutes, the last few devils were also killed.

Xu Feihu looked over, not to mention people, even the weapons were not complete.

Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu commanded the troops to move to the city of Zaozhuang, and with the cooperation of a special combat detachment, they took control of the east gate and attacked it.

The 59th Army dispatched a division of more than 6,000 people, and there were less than 100 devils and more than 400 puppet troops in the city. In less than an hour, the 59th Army occupied the entire city.

After Zhang Zizhong entered the city, he immediately arranged defenses and prepared to deal with the counterattack of the devils.

The other two brigades of Yamamoto Garrison were stationed in Guanqiao Town and Tengzhou County in the north of Zaozhuang, and they received a telegram from Zaozhuang asking for help, and immediately contacted Yamamoto Kazuki, but they could not be contacted.

The strong combat effectiveness of the devils lies in the fact that they have the initiative in their operations, and in the case of not being able to contact Yamamoto Kazuki, the devils automatically elected a captain to command, and directly reinforced Zaozhuang from Guanqiao Town and Tengzhou County.

According to the battle plan, the main force of Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army was already ambushed on the road from Guanqiao Town to Zaozhuang.

At this time, the summer dynasty took the main force of the Tiger Brigade, set off from Yutai County, and suddenly surrounded Jining City.

The commander of the Twelfth Army, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, received a report from Zaozhuang at the beginning, and then Zaozhuang was out of news. Then a report was received from the Nakajima garrison stationed in Jining City, saying that Jining was surrounded by a large number of unidentified forces.

Otaka Kamizo didn't know where such a large force of anti-Japanese forces came from. All he can do now is rescue the Nakajima garrison in Jining. So the 104th Independent Brigade of the 33rd Division was sent to rescue Jining.

There were a large number of Japanese troops in the direction of Xuzhou, why didn't the Japanese troops in Zaozhuang ask them for help? It turned out that the Japanese army in Shandong belonged to the North China Front, and it was the Central China Dispatch Army that attacked Xuzhou, not a system. Each has its own responsibility, and no one cares about other people's affairs.

The tactics of the Xia Dynasty were to encircle the points and send reinforcements, and his main targets were the Japanese troops in Zou Cheng and Qufu east of Jining. In order to prevent the Japanese troops in Jinan from moving south, he also sent a special operations squadron to monitor and harass.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had to rescue the besieged troops, the Xia Dynasty successively adopted the tactics of encircling the points to send reinforcements, annihilating the troops of the garrison of the Devil's Nakajima that had been rescued from Zou Cheng and Qufu, and then attacked and occupied Zou Cheng and Qufu.

At this time, Zhang Zizhong had already annihilated the devils who were going south to reinforce Tengzhou, and captured Tengzhou.

By 7 p.m., the Huben Brigade and the 59th Army had completed the first phase of the task, preparing to deal with the 104th Independent Brigade of the 33rd Division that was moving south from Jinan.
