The command post was covered with well-marked military maps, and confidential staff officers came and went in a hurry, and several military commanders Liu Yuan sat on stools eating freshly cooked pot cakes and holding a green onion in their hands. Liu Yuan occasionally disliked Tang Enbo, an elegant person, and sighed at the dinner bar to express his dissatisfaction. And Townenburg was noncommittal, so that the command did not feel too nervous.

The youngest son of the landlord's family sat on Liu Yuan's side with a smile, rubbed Liu Yuan's back and shoulders, and was extremely respectful, asking Liu Yuan if he could accept himself as a disciple. He can cook, do laundry, and write messages, which is a rare good boy. I hope Liu Yuan can think about it.

Liu Yuan patted the little guy's head, not wanting to dampen the enthusiasm of the little guy, and not wanting the old man to lose such a clever little son, telling him when he would be admitted to the military academy, and then go to find himself, the youngest son of the landlord's family was not annoyed. ran in front of his father, and showed it, and the commander asked him to go to a military school, and Liu Yuan felt sorry for the old rich man.

Linyi's cakes are delicious, several military commanders have eaten a full stomach, Liu Yuan called Tang Enbo and Sun Lianzhong to the map and said, "Today is the day when we counterattack the Japanese army, Itagaki has been competing with us for two months since logging in Shandong, we are fighting and retreating, continuously replacing combat strength, while they have relied on heavy army groups to advance, and they have been fighting fiercely for two months, his troops have not received any replenishment and rest, the soldiers are absolutely tired, more than a thousand miles away, even if they walk, the soldiers can't stand it, But he Itagaki was called. ”

"The art of war, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, in my opinion Itagaki made the mistake above, his soldiers are already very tired, but he is still insisting on fighting, for the sake of Liu's head, and everyone looks at the huge Shandong, every time he lays down an area, he has to put down a lot of troops to defend, otherwise their rear will be attacked by guerrillas, miscellaneous attacks, so they definitely don't have many soldiers in their hands.

In addition, if you look at the current location of the Itagaki Division, on the northern front, the other troops are very far from him, and when we launch the whole front, the rest of the Japanese army will be ready to rescue him. It also takes half a month, and this half a month is the time of his death, of course, if the Isoya Ryosuke Army gives up the offensive posture, it is not impossible to rescue him, but the price is heavier.

"Let's continue to see, the troops of the Fifth Division are scattered in large-scale areas such as Daiwang Mountain and Yaoguantun, and the main force is in the northern region, so if you want to annihilate Itagaki, you must take action against their main force.

But our opponent is the Japanese Army's Division A, and I don't want to fight him to the death, because we are military commanders, and more often than not, we should compete in intelligence. You see that Seishiro Itagaki is just a show of his brains, and he doesn't let the troops rest all the time, so he has to play with me.

You see, if we mobilize the 77th Army to attack Daiwang Mountain, the 34th Brigade will cross the Xihe River, land at Majiagouzi, and cooperate with the 31st Brigade to launch an attack from the flank.

Liao Yaoxiang's division reinforced the Independence Army, as the main force of counterattack on the frontal battlefield. The new 21st Division joined the battlefield from Hedong, attacked along the Yi River, detoured to Daiwang Mountain from the rear, and launched an attack in cooperation with the 85th Army in front.

The above can be used as the first phase of the battle, after the end of this stage, there should be few Japanese troops left in Hedong, at this time our troops in Hedong should quickly cross the Yi River and give Itagaki an attack in the rear of Itagaki, which is the second stage of the battle.

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Tang Enbo and the others, waiting for their reply.

Tang Enbo looked at the map and said, "In the Yihe area, our defensive forces are very limited, if the Japanese counterattack, can we defend it?" ”

Sun Lianzhong was also embarrassed and said, "There is nothing wrong with what Commander Tang Enbo said, if Itagaki Seishiro counterattacks, what should we do." ”

Liu Yuanha smiled, "Itagaki is already a fish in my net, what qualifications does he have, Commander Tang Enbo, you personally lead the troops to block Tang Enbo's blocking, Commander Sun Lianzhong, your troops are still defending Linyi, and the troops that can fight will be organized as reserves." Hu Lian commanded the Independence Army and Yu Chengwan's division, and the counterattack began at 10:30 this morning. The troops in Hedong will be under my personal command. ”

Tang Enbo and others responded in unison, Tang Enbo was the first to leave, and the person who used to hate Liu Yuan the most had been infected by Liu Yuan's personality charm. became the most supportive of him.

The order was quickly issued to the division level, and Liao Yaoxiang led his troops to attack quickly, although the Japanese planes kept circling in the sky, they could not stop the Chinese troops from attacking.

Sun Liren's troops, through Liu Yuan's special explanation, crossed the Yi River and reached the offensive area.

Seishiro Itagaki is a very confident person, but when he encounters Liu Yuan's counterattack, he realizes how sad his situation is.

Sun Liren's 1st Mechanized Brigade launched a counterattack in the Sanguanmiao area, and Itagaki suddenly realized how his troops in the Hedong area were so far away from Linyi City, and they were completely isolated.

He began to order the troops of the Daiwangshan generation to shrink their forces, and the main force of the troops began to move closer to the Yihe area.

But Liu Yuan either doesn't make a move, once he does, it will inevitably be a storm, although Itagaki Seishiro realized the problem, but it was already too late.

The attack of the 85th Army was very strong, and the 9th Brigade could not shake off the 85th Army at all, let alone move closer to the east bank of the Yi River.

Sun Liren was a fully mechanized unit with very strong combat effectiveness, and a wing of the Japanese army could not play any role at all in front of him. Sun Liren successively conquered three defensive positions of the Japanese army.

After Liu Yuan put the 85th Army into full attack, Wang Zhonglian immediately turned on the mad dog mode, although he was not the best in Whampoa, but today he seemed to prove something.

The main force launched a fierce attack on Daiwang Mountain from three different areas, while the 21st Division carried out a shameless sneak attack from the flank.

The Chinese's attack came very suddenly, and suddenly Itagaki Seishiro would not be able to react for a while. On the battlefield of China, the Hedong region suddenly became a place that worried the hearts of the people of the two countries.

Under the command of Liu Yuan, the Chinese troops were like divine soldiers, showing their might in the Daiwang Mountain generation, and the Fifth Division and the Ninth Brigade were opponents.

Barely resisted until half past three in the afternoon, completely collapsed.

Chinese troops kept rushing into the Japanese positions, dividing and encircling the Japanese troops in a small area, and in a very short period of time, one of the Japanese brigades was completely annihilated. At the same time, Wang Zhonglian had cut off the rear route of the Japanese army.

Liu Yuan invested nearly five divisions in Hedong, and the Ninth Brigade only held out for half a day, and felt that his life could not be saved, so he sent a telegram to Itagaki Seishiro, requesting tactical guidance and retreating from Daiwang Mountain.

Itagaki Seishiro received a telegram from the commander of his brigade, and immediately felt that the soul sprouts had fallen, and ordered his own mechanized troops to attack the encirclement of Baodaiwang Mountain and rush to the aid of Daiwang Mountain.

The 5th Mechanized Brigade of the Japanese Army, with 10,000 troops, is equipped with 500 motorcycles, hundreds of trucks, and an independent artillery regiment and an independent tank brigade.

They had always been in charge of the Twentieth Legion, which was threatening Townenburg on the flank, but now that the Twentieth Legion seemed to have overcome their fear of them and engaged in battlefield combat, there was no point in threatening them. So Seishiro Itagaki asked them to support the 9th Brigade.
