North of Dexian County. \\. QВ⑸。 On the CoМ/Deshi road, a series of trucks loaded with ammunition and soldiers sped east. Walking through the dust, on both sides of the road were soldiers on foot, panting and sweating, but their feet did not stop at all, and in the fields on both sides were the cavalrymen of the flying horses, although the horses under their crotches were already sweating, but the knights on the horses were still desperately whipping.

To the west of Dexian, Chen G led the first detachment of the guerrilla corps and the new 110th Division of the New Eighth Army to join the 101st Army near Wucheng, and did not follow Qiu Qingquan to the south, but went straight to Dexian along the Depu Highway.

To the east of Dexian County, Shi Shaoxian led the puppet army to successfully attack the city of Dexian County, no, not to enter smoothly, but to enter the city without a fight, the Japanese army base in Dexian County is not in the city, but in the southwest of the city, and there are only gendarmerie and the Imperial Association Army in the city in peacetime.

After Kataoka received all the verdicts of the Lubei puppet army, he immediately knew that Dexian County was not guaranteed, so he simply handed over Dexian County to the Imperial Army, and all of them, including overseas Chinese, retreated to the core position and held on.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, near Jinan, it stretches for hundreds of miles, with the sound of artillery and the flames of war. The Japanese troops of the brigade successively withdrew from their positions and fled quickly towards the crossing of the Yellow River, Du Yuming and Zhong Bin led all units to pursue them fiercely, and the 3rd Mixed Brigade and the 53rd Brigade struggled to resist the attack, and under the three-dimensional attack of the Chinese army, they suffered heavy casualties and retreated again and again.

Outside Jinan, Zhang Yaomin led the Xinkou Army, the First Division of the New Fourth Army, Sun Liangcheng and other puppet armies to attack Jinan, Su Y led the First Division of the New Fourth Army to conquer the airport in the eastern suburbs of Jinan, and Yoshio Hongo led the 63rd Brigade and the soldiers in the countryside to fight in Jinan.

To the east of Xincheng Ferry, the sound of killing shook the sky, Wang Lingji led the 73rd Army to attack the Japanese defense line, and the 64th Brigade of the 62nd Division of the Japanese Army fought hard to block it. In the sky at the ferry, fighter planes roared, and the Japanese army braved the bombing of the Chinese air force to cross the Yellow River.

Outside the city of Jiyang, Yang Sen led the 20th Army to cross the Yellow River first, and farther away, Li Zongfang's 47th Army was rushing towards the ferry.

In the upper reaches of the new city, "west of Changqing, the Yellow River is dangerous, a bridge flies across, the motor roars, the army is reeling, and the 78th Army is rushing to cross the Yellow River and advance to the north bank.

On the Jiaoji Line, Yu Xuezhong led the 51st Army to rapidly advance westward along the Jiaoji Line to reinforce the Jinan battlefield.

Liaocheng, the meat grinder was still stirring the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the two countries, Song Xilian adjusted the deployment and shifted the direction of attack to the east of the city" rocket artillery, 150 howitzers, 130 cannons, and 105 howitzers, took turns to fight, and blew up the Japanese position into a sea of fire: the Japanese soldiers jumped and rolled in the sea of fire, and held on.

On the front line of Anyang, Gu Shoufu suddenly gave up Anyang, continuously abandoned Handan's "evil platform", and retreated to Shijiazhuang in great strides; Tang Enbo hesitated for a while, but finally caught up, "Bite Gu Shoufu tightly and prevent him from dividing his troops to reinforce Shandong."

Qiu Qingquan was delayed for two days, "This is likely to be fatal." Xu Zuyi sighed, the situation on the entire battlefield is unprecedentedly favorable, but the prospects are also unclear, if it is only to recover Jinan, this is easy to do, but Zhuang Jihua's request is to completely annihilate the Matsui Shigen Group, which is difficult to do.

In order to save the situation, he could only mobilize the 41st Division, the 36th Division, and the Independent Old Mixed Brigade that had just been withdrawn from Jincheng, and rendezvous with the Dao Division that had been withdrawn from Anyang in advance, and form an army of 60,000 to march east to Dexian County, and go thousands of miles to help save the Shandong war situation that had fallen apart.

Okamura Ninji's move immediately became obscure, and the entire battlefield suddenly increased by 60,000 fresh troops, and the impact on the outcome of the battle was self-evident.

Xu Zuyi's accusation of Qiu Qingquan is justified, if Qiu Qingquan arrives in Dexian two episodes in advance, the Japanese army in Dexian is less than 2,000 people, and he can completely eliminate the Japanese army in one drum, firmly control Dexian, and cut off the Japanese army in North China and Shandong, so that the battle situation will be firmly controlled.

"Order the Air Force, stop caring about Liaocheng, and monitor the Deshi Highway with the main force, and if you find the enemy, bomb it immediately." Zhuang Jihua is also secretly complaining about Qiu Qingquan in his heart, but now is not the time to talk about this, he must find a way to remedy it, and if the Japanese army wants to reinforce Dexian, it can only pass the Deshi Highway.

Xu Zuyi sighed slightly, now it can only be like this, and he reminded again: "Is it to remind Chen G, let him send a detachment of troops north of Dexian County to block the Japanese reinforcements." ”

"Okay, that's it, tell him, send the 101st Army" Zhuang Jihua categorically ordered and sent his most trusted troops: "Telegraph Ye Qingquan, the First Mechanized Group Army will be closed as soon as possible, and it will be ............" Zhuang Jihua searched the map for a while, and his finger clicked on the map: "The First Mechanized Group Army, set off immediately and seize Wang Tong." ”

"Why in Wang Tong?" Xu Zuyi is a little strange, Wang Tong, there is no slightest advantage in the terrain, but the whole of North China, the terrain is flat, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Xu Zuyi chose in his heart to the south bank of the canal, relying on the canal to block.

Zhuang Jihua glanced at Xu Zuyi, turned his head and asked He Wei: "What do you think?" ”

He Wei pondered, and then said: "I also chose to be in Wang Tong, the reason is, Ye Qinglai." Although the canal has a bit of geographical advantages, it also hinders our sharpest sharp knives, tank troops, tank gallops need a vast world, there is no slightest obstacle, North China is the stage suitable for him. ”

"Yes, that's why I chose Wang Tong," Zhuang Jihua said: "Qiu Qingquan's xìng ge, who likes to take risks, likes to attack, and is a person who is not willing to be calm, so he is currently our best tank commander." ”

"Secondly, near Dexian, we have a strong force, that is, the First Group Army, and in addition, the Eighth Route Army is very tenacious and is a good hand at blocking attacks. Immortal ...... "Obviously, Zhuang Jihua has concerns, the losses in this blocking battle must be very large, Zhuang Jihua is worried: "Pang Bingxun Sun Dianying's puppet army, as well as the new Eighth Army and the new 110th Division, the troops are a little naïve, I don't worry." ”

"Besides, then the tank to attack the fortress, this is the worst option, so choose Wang Tong."

Zhuang Jihua said so much because he was the only one in the entire Jiangbei Theater who knew how to use mechanized warfare, and no matter Xu Zuyi, He Wei, or Cai Tingcuo, they hardly understood how to use mechanized troops.

To Zhuang Jihua's surprise, after the order was issued, he received a telegram from Chen G: "Old classmate, why can't you trust us?" My Eighth Route Army lacked heavy weapons and was not good at attacking and marrying, so I led the first detachment of the guerrilla corps, the New Eighth Army, the New 110th Division, and Qiu Maniac to Wang Tong, and the 101st Army was well-equipped and good at attacking fortifications, so let them go to Dexian. ”

After Zhuang Jihua read the telegram, he was silent, and let out a long sigh in his heart, what Chen G's move meant, he and all his colleagues in the theater command knew clearly.

Although the Japanese army in Dexian was less than 2,000 men, the troops that conquered Dexian also had to undertake the task of moving south to block Matsui Ishine, so their strength could not be too weak.

"That's it, call back Chen G, agree, cherish."

He Wei has a complicated mood, this blockade is not an ordinary blockade war, 60,000 Japanese troops, in order to rescue Matsui Shigen, the Japanese army is bound to disregard the losses and forcibly open the passage, otherwise once Matsui Shigen is annihilated, the entire North China war situation will be irretrievable. Therefore, the casualties of the blocking forces must be staggering. The first detachment of the guerrilla corps, the strength is about equivalent to a division, and the strength is about 13,000 people, and the equipment of the troops was replenished before the war, but the largest artillery is the 10,000 nm mountain artillery "The grassroots units are mainly equipped with 38 rifles and medium formal rifles, each platoon has a tǐng light machine gun, and each company has a tǐng heavy machine gun.

Before Chen G received Zhuang Jihua's telegram, he ordered Wang Bcheng to lead his troops to march to Wang Tong, Chen G was very clear about his choice, but he thought that such a choice was correct, if the purpose of this battle was achieved, it would completely crush the confidence of the Japanese army, there would be no major war south of the Great Wall, and it might even recover the Pingjin area without a fight.

After Qiu Qingquan's tank unit annihilated the 1st Tank Division, he himself led two tank divisions north to the vicinity of Dexian, and the mechanized infantry division of the group army went south to pursue the remnants of the 1st Tank Division.

"This time it's not bad." On the bank of the canal, after Qiu Qingquan read the telegram, he was silent for a while before muttering in a low voice, and then raised his head and ordered: "Order the troops to replenish fuel immediately, with the first tank division in front and the second division in the rear, and set off towards Wang Tong." Telegraph, Commander Wang, end the battle as soon as possible, and then return to the north. ”

A large number of troops went north, and Kataoka in the Tokuxian fortress quickly noticed that Okamura Ninji's telegram was sent directly to him, and Okamura Ninji clearly told him in the telegram that Tokuxian was defending to the death, and there was no order to break out, and he must hold on to the last soldier.

This order was conveyed by Kataoka to every soldier, and every soldier in the fortress now understood the situation they were facing, and in addition to the soldiers, there were more than a hundred expats hiding in the fort, all of whom were men, women, and children, all of whom were distributed, divided into a dozen or so squads, and scattered throughout the fortress with the soldiers.

This fortress is carefully constructed, every firing point is carefully set up, and the communication trenches are all hidden underground, so that troop movements can be carried out completely underground. Despite the strong fortifications, Kataoka was not sure that he would be able to hold the fortress, which was designed to have a strength of 4,000 men, but now it has less than 2,000 men, and the number of troops is insufficient. There was no other way, Kataoka could only keep asking Beiping for help, asking Beiping to urge reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.

As the war progressed to the present, Kataoka admired Nakajima more and more, and six years ago, everything that Nakajima had predicted when he built this fortress had come true, and now even with his strategic sluggishness, he understands that Hinata is already losing the war.

The Chinese army surrounded the entire fortress, but did not rush to attack, Kataoka understood that the Chinese must have roughly known the situation of the fortress from the mouths of those defective puppet soldiers, so they were tempting, observing, searching, and deliberately making them impatient.

"Boom!"

The cannonball exploded in the fortress, and Kataoka Kokoro said, come on, samurai of the Empire, not afraid of death!
