Chapter 664: I'd rather lose a son, don't lose a first

Linyi, Laiwu, Jining, and Tai'an are all burning!

The Eighth Route Army and the National Army jointly attacked, stirring up the situation in Shandong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Japanese army was caught off guard, and suddenly every inch was in chaos, and in this hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, its outlying strongholds and sentry posts were lost one after another, and the Japanese puppet officers and men suffered heavy casualties.

When the news came, the Japanese troops in Jinan, Shandong, were immediately shocked.

"Yaga!"

"How is this possible? Did the Chinese army eat the gall of the leopard? ”

"yes, we haven't launched a large-scale attack yet, but it's better for them to attack us first, which is completely unreasonable?"

"It doesn't matter what the Chinese army wants to do, we just annihilate it all in one fell swoop!"

"That's right, the majesty of the Great Japanese Empire cannot be violated, and the strength of the Great Japanese Imperial Army cannot be provoked!"

For a time, all the Japanese officers present were filled with righteous indignation, shouting one by one that they wanted to fight back and give the Chinese army a little color.

The gray-haired man sitting at the head of the conference room was none other than the commander of the Japanese 12th Army, Lieutenant General Tada Toshi.

In fact, according to real history, he should have served as the commander of the Japanese 3rd Army at this time, and in September 1939, he succeeded General Sugiyama Mototo, as the commander of the Japanese North China Front.

However, due to the butterfly effect of Ouyang Crossing, he was not the commander of the 2nd Army, but the commander of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army.

"Bang!"

Tada Jun took the case and said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, order the 35th Division, the 36th Division, and the 37th Division to each dispatch a force to enter Linyi, Jining, and Laiwu respectively to assist the local defenders and counterinsurgency." ”

"Hey!"

The Japanese army and the Japanese army should drink it immediately.

Hearing Tada Jun's arrangement, all the Japanese officers present nodded their heads in agreement.

Suddenly, a Japanese soldier raised an objection and frowned: "Your Excellency, commander, why did you leave out Tai'an's reinforcements?" ”

Now the situation in Shandong is Linyi, Jining, Laiwu, and Tai'an, all of which have been attacked by the Chinese army, and the Japanese major general does not understand why Tai'an is the only one missing.

"Hahaha!"

Before Commander Tada Jun answered, another Japanese soldier couldn't help laughing.

"Ida-kun, you have just been transferred to North China not long ago, and you don't understand the situation in Tai'an.

Our army stationed in Tai'an is the famous 10th Division of the 2nd Army of our Imperial Japanese Army, which is quite an amazing team.

Although he now has a brigade of troops transferred to Puyang to quell the chaos, his remaining troops are enough to deal with a brigade, even a division, or even an army of the Chinese army! ”

After a pause, he said: "The most important thing is that the division commander of the 10th Division is His Excellency Yoshio Shinozuka, he is a very proud guy, how could he be willing to let others interfere in his battle." ”

"Roar!"

Hearing this, the young man who asked the question was full of shock on his face at the moment!

"It turned out to be His Excellency Lieutenant General Shinozuka, he is my principal of the Imperial Army Non-commissioned Officer School, his art of war is very powerful, not long before that, I also heard in the Empire that the principal pacified the Chinese Luxi guerrilla Fan Zhuxian's record.

Chu Yunfei's brigade is definitely not the opponent of His Excellency the Headmaster! ”

For a while, all the Japanese officers present laughed, and their expressions were relaxed.

Although the Chinese army's active attack caught them off guard, in their eyes, it was still a small fight and could not be put on the table.

It's not their hubris, it's self-confidence!

You must know that the strength of the Japanese puppet army in Tai'an, Linyi, Laiwu, and Jining is as many as 40,000 people, how can the Eighth Route Army be able to stir it up?

What's more, now, Commander Tada Toshiyu has transferred a part of his troops from the 35th Division, the 36th Division, and the 37th Regiment to enter these areas to quell the rebellion.

In this way, except for Tai'an, the strength of the Japanese army in the other three places will be more than double that of the Chinese army.

With such a huge advantage in troops, what else is there to worry about with the Japanese officers present?

In fact, just as the Japanese army judged, after the Japanese troops panicked for a while, they immediately launched a counterattack and made a strong counterattack.

Whether it was the 106th Division of the Nationalist Army sitting far away in Puyang, or the 1st Column of the Eighth Route Army fighting in Linyi, Laiwu, and Jining, they were counterattacked by the Japanese army.

Headquarters of the 1st Column of the Eighth Route Army.

"It seems that we still underestimated the reaction speed of the little devil!"

Zhu Rui, the political commissar of the column, said in a deep voice: "Now we have to bite the bullet. ”

Several other commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army present also frowned slightly.

In fact, these are all within the range of their estimates, but the current situation is the worst they speculate.

The strong backlash of the Japanese army inflicted heavy losses on all units of the Eighth Route Army with millet and rifles in an instant.

It's not that the fighters are not strong, but it's that the difference in combat effectiveness is too great.

With the Japanese planes and artillery exhausted, where could the Eighth Route Army stop it?

"Hahaha!"

Just when everyone was worried, the commander of the column, Xu Xiangqian, laughed.

He pointed at everyone with his finger and said with a smile: "You guys, this little devil is playing happily now, and there will be a time for them to cry later!" ”

"Huh?"

Suddenly, many people present let out a soft sigh.

Zhu Rui, the political commissar of the column and the first artillery of our army, immediately reacted and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, yes, I want to be left, now the main strength of the Japanese army is concentrated on us, and only Tai'an is neglected, isn't this what we want to see?"

"Although now with a brigade of Chu Yunfei of the National Army, it is definitely not the opponent of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army Yoshio Shinozuka, but once the cavalry of the leading guerrillas moves, the entire Tai'an situation will immediately change greatly!"

Zhu Rui told all his speculations, and immediately burst into a hearty mood.

In an instant, everyone present also reacted, and they couldn't help but slap their legs one by one, and applauded!

Xu Qianqian looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This war is like playing chess, as the so-called is rather lose a son, do not lose a first, as long as we always shoot in front of the Japanese army, then our army will always be invincible, and even if the Japanese army has more soldiers than us and the weapons and equipment are stronger than ours, they will be controlled everywhere and will always be in a passive position!" ”

~~~~~~

Independent Brigade of the 2nd Group Army of the National Army, Chu Yunfei Division.

"Brigade seat, the little devil's attack is too fierce, our No. 1 position and No. 2 position were all lost just now!" A national soldier cried.

When the words fell, all the officers of the national army present were extremely shocked.

Although they had long known that the opponent in this confrontation was the famous Japanese 10th Division, they really did not expect that their side would be defeated so quickly.

"How's that good?"

"Yes, we all underestimated the power of the 10th Division of the little devils!"

"Yoshio Shinozuka, this old devil, is really amazing!"

For a while, many officers of the national army were in a panic.

"Shut up!"

At this moment, Chu Yunfei burst out and shouted: "What are you arguing about, we just lost the No. 1 position and the No. 2 position, the main position and the two flank positions are still in our hands, and the main force of our army still exists, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

"Even if all our positions are lost, what can happen?"

"Are we just like last time, being chased away by the little devils?"

"I tell you, this battle must be resisted by me!"

Chu Yunfei said with a firm expression: "As long as we hold on for another 2 hours, and wait for the strange army of the leading guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army to make a move, our army will definitely be able to completely reverse the decline and turn defeat into victory!" ”

"Yes, Throne!"

At that moment, everyone shouted in unison.

2 hours!

Just hold on for another 2 hours!

The first update.
