Chapter 586: The Four Hundred Prefectures of the Han Family (Thirteen)
Wu Xiaoliang, who received the battle report from Ye County, finally sighed, and the fish had already bitten the hook to death.
"The telegram ordered Division Commander Dong to order the 17th Division of the Department to move quickly in the direction of Ye County, and cooperate with Zhang Zhonglin to attract Japanese firepower."
At the same time that Wu Xiaoliang ordered Dong Haibin's 17th Division to move towards Ye County quickly, the 1st Mixed Brigade of Tsukada Attack and the 2nd Mixed Brigade of Sakai Naoji also reached the outskirts of Ye County, and they joined a new round of siege only when the 9th Division was withdrawn.
But in fact, in Wu Xiaoliang's planning, it is to take Ye County as the center, so as to attract a large number of Japanese troops to go here in a steady stream, and then make them suffer from the enemy on their backs, and destroy them by different routes, which has the same effect as besieging the city and sending reinforcements, but he is defending and sending reinforcements.
The Japanese army has unconsciously begun to fight according to the plan that Wu Xiaoliang had predicted in advance, and the most important thing in this battle is the county seat of Yexian County.
In fact, Wu Xiaoliang began to carry out coastal defense projects in many coastal towns on the Shandong Peninsula very early, and one of these costly and cost-consuming projects was selected in Ye County, that is to say, he began to cast a wide net, in order to prepare for the possible future Japanese army to climb 6, but what he didn't expect was that the Japanese army was actually in danger and prepared to send a large force to Shandong to Deng 6 to threaten Jinan, and this information was detected by Wu Xiaoliang in the inner line of the Japanese Army's North China Dispatch Army Staff Headquarters, so when he learned that Okamura Ningji was going to Deng 6 in Ye County, I also began to prepare accordingly.
Initially, he was not sure that the Japanese army would definitely be in Yexian Deng6, so he made many preparations, a large number of troops were mobilized in the entire Shandong Peninsula line, as long as one place was attacked, other troops could arrive in one day to reinforce, later, not far from Yexian Zhuqiao exploded the Japanese army Deng6 battle, many people began to get nervous, Wu Xiaoliang's staff was even more questioning the inaccuracy of the information, but he finally restrained the expansion of the Zhuqiao battle, withstood the pressure of the staff, and was stunned that he did not mobilize a large force to move closer to Zhuqiao.
In the end, it turned out that the intelligence of the inner line was accurate, and Okamura Ningji did not change his plan to indeed Deng6 in Ye County, which was due to the fact that Zhu Qiao took the lead in exposing the military deployment, otherwise Okamura Ningji's suspicion would definitely be aware of it once he found out that so many troops were deployed in the eastern part of the peninsula, and changed his plan to abandon Deng6 in Ye County.
Since Wu Xiaoliang chose to Deng 6 in Ye County, the second part of the plan began to be officially launched, and Zhang Zhonglin and his 1st Independent Brigade were the key to this step.
For Zhang Zhonglin and his person, he fully trusts his ability, although in Wu Xiaoliang's previous life, this person is also outstanding, but he is famous because Meng Lianggu became the commander of the 74th Division of the integrated division who was killed in the first war, and in this life, because of Wu Xiaoliang's arrival, I believe that there will never be the commander of the 74th Division of the integrated division who was killed, because he didn't even have the opportunity to change the name of the table, Zhang Zhonglin, his original name, was destined to be accompanied by the bitter war against Japan and civilized China. Let him appear as an anti-Japanese hero in today's China and in the history books of later generations.
Wu Xiaoliang deliberately promoted him in this way, which can be regarded as making up for this anti-Japanese soldier who was thrown into the army by Peking University and insisted on returning to the battlefield in spite of his own injuries in order to resist the Japanese, and in the end, this American general also fell into the nickname of a lame general because of the weight on his legs.
Zhang Zhonglin did not disappoint Wu Xiaoliang in the end, he successfully survived the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese naval guns, and just entered the battle to unexpectedly annihilate an entire wing of the Japanese army, and in the subsequent battle, the entire Ninth Division was firmly glued to Ye County, which won a decisive time for the strategic deployment of the rear to win or lose the entire battle.
In the end, all the belongings of Okamura Ningjideng 6 Shandong were attracted to Ye County, but this was far from enough, Wu Xiaoliang knew that Terauchi Shouichi in the north coordinated the task force of the Navy for this time to Deng 6, the Navy 6th Army has always been at odds, and the Navy's ace battleships can be willing to escort the 6th Army as a foil, which shows the depth of its intentions, so once the battle in Ye County is blocked, I am afraid that the general Terachi who is sitting firmly in Beijing will definitely send troops to reinforce from the sea in 6.
As long as the reinforcements continue to flow from the sea, as if adding fuel to the tactics, these 6 Japanese troops who continue to arrive are believed to be quickly eaten by the various armies deployed by Wu Xiaoliang around Ye County.
As for dealing with the two mixed brigades that arrived from Zhuqiao, it was more than enough to send the main force of the 17th Division to deal with them.
In addition, Kuribayashi Tadamichi and Miyake Mitsuji, who were blocked in Linzi County, faced the elite troops of the 57th Division, they finally changed from attackers to defenders, and the defensive battle was extremely lame, or Li Zejun did not give them a chance to react and breathe to deploy defense.
After the first encounter began, the various units of the 57th Division took turns to fight like a wheel battle, fighting the Japanese army without stopping, and this battle was very hard, until the eastern sky was covered with fish belly white, and it was not completely defeated, but the losses of the Japanese army were extremely heavy, and the number of the entire cavalry brigade and regiment with war horses to form a formation in a battle was no more than one-third, and the situation of Miyake Mitsuji's infantry brigade was relatively good, because the entire right flank was completely preserved, and the number of troops with combat effectiveness remained more than half.
So, there is still a bitter battle after dawn.
Until this moment, neither Kuribayashi Tadamichi nor Miyake Koji have given up their plans to attack Jinan, they are still fantasizing about defeating this volley of their own squadron before continuing to march, even if the combat effectiveness is not enough to take Jinan or cause substantial heavy damage to Jinan, it can cause panic in Jinan, so that it can change its strategic deployment and rush to aid Jinan is also considered to have completed the task, so that it can buy valuable time for His Excellency Okamura.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that even if they arrived at the city of Jinan, it was just a useless struggle, because Okamura Ningci in Ye County was already anxious, and the Ninth Division's four-sided flowering tactics finally failed to take this small county town, and at the most critical moment of the battle, the artillery unit that had not been found opened fire again, and the entire Ninth Division was covered by artillery fire, and finally the morale of the besieging soldiers was severely hit, and Okamura Ningji had to order to withdraw and regroup, waiting for another battle.
But the squadron will not let him stop, the squadron from the west launched a surprise attack on the Sakai Naoji mixed brigade on its flank, which caught everyone off guard, why did the squadron come so quickly.
