The Japanese invaders who came out of Quancheng were actually a wing formation.

But dissatisfied members. There are only two brigades. One of the brigades had just over five hundred people. The total strength is about 1,600 people.

This was the last mobile force of the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese invaders were in a hurry to move south, and did not leave too many defenders in Quancheng.

I don't think it's necessary.

This place, they have been here since 1928.

At that time, the Nationalist Government of China had not yet been reunified. Or the era of the Northern Expeditionary Army. More than 1,000 Japanese invaders and more than 10,000 Northern Expeditionary troops encountered. In the end, the Japanese invaders expelled the Northern Expeditionary Army from Quancheng.

From then on, the Japanese invaders felt that the Chinese army was all rubbish.

None of them can fight.

More than 10,000 Northern Expeditionary troops could not defeat 1,000 Japanese troops.

At that time, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which numbered more than 10,000, was still the most elite Chinese army. But the combat effectiveness is so unbearable.

If there were 100,000 Japanese troops, wouldn't they be able to sweep through the whole of China?

The ambitions of Ishihara and others began to skyrocket at this time. In the end, he planned the 918 Incident.

After that, the Japanese army left a lot of intelligence teams in Quancheng. There are also clubs.

Why did Han Fuqu take the initiative to abandon Quancheng as soon as the Japanese army came? Don't dare to resist? Because many of the officers below were semi-openly bought by the Japanese invaders.

Many officers have Japanese wives in their families. I am proud to study in Japan.

Now, the Japanese army occupies Quancheng, and these bought traitors have become loyal lackeys of the Japanese invaders. The army led by him also became a puppet army.

There were not many anti-Japanese elements in Quancheng. No threat.

Of course, it is still very necessary to leave a brigade to garrison.

"Hit!"

Here, the battle begins.

The Eighth Route Army quickly formed an encirclement of the Japanese invaders.

Liang Daya led the spy battalion and went around to the back of the Japanese invaders to cut off the retreat of the Japanese invaders.

At the same time, they are also preparing to block the reinforcements coming out of Quancheng.

If the Japanese still have reinforcements.

"Bang ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

This time, it was the mortars that blew up first.

Zhang Chu promised that he would replenish the ammunition consumed in the battle free of charge. So, the fighters fought openly.

Dense shells fell in the ranks of the Japanese invaders, exploding in clusters of fire.

The Japanese invaders, who were caught off guard, suddenly broke up in formation.

Although it is well trained. However, when he was suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army, he was also caught off guard.

You must know that they encountered the Eight Paths. Not the national army.

At this time, at least one-third of the Eighth Route was the old Red Army, and its combat effectiveness was quite strong.

Their only shortcoming is weapons and ammunition.

Now, this shortcoming has been made up by Zhang Chu, and the combat power is directly up to the sky.

It may have only been around 50 or 60 originally, but now it is directly full to 120!

That's called fierce.

More than 50 mortars bombarded together, and the Japanese invaders were killed and wounded three to four hundred people on the spot.

The remaining Japanese invaders were also baptized by artillery fire and were unable to form an effective counterattack at all.

In the plains, firepower is everything.

Whoever has the ferocious firepower will be the final victor.

The Soviet-German battlefield is proof of this.

No matter how elite the German army was, in the face of the frantic firepower of the Soviets, it could only be scattered.

When it comes to ground firepower, even the beautiful countries cannot be compared with the Soviet Union.

And in the ground firepower of the Soviets, artillery is the most important link. Every important battle is opened, with thousands or tens of thousands of heavy artillery pieces concentrated.

Now, Zhang Chu is copying this set.

Although there were no large-caliber heavy artillery. However, the mortar barrel is enough. Enough shell tubes. Boom me! Boom!

Thereupon......

"Bang ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

All the mortars went crazy.

The gunner did not look at the front at all. Countersunk shells. Anyway, you don't need to adjust much.

The error of the shell itself is enough to form a covering fire.

The only key is to have a lot of them.

Thousands of shells had to be fired in the shortest possible time.

Fire at least 20 rounds in a minute!

You can't stop in between!

Indeed, the Japanese invaders were bombed.

In the face of an overwhelming number of shells, it is simply impossible to think normally.

"Ding......

"You blew up and killed the Japanese Kou Dazuo ......"

"You get 10 million in earnings......"

"You get a sporadic reward: a ...... of a domestically produced Type 59 tank"

"You get 100,000 ocean ......"

Information came.

But Zhang Chu didn't have the heart to pay attention.

Because the artillery fire was too fierce. The whole battlefield was filled with gunsmoke. The day is like night.

"Sudden ......"

"Sudden ......"

The large-caliber heavy machine gun swept away, and the Japanese invaders were even more tragic.

This kind of heavy machine gun is dedicated to all kinds of disobedience of Japanese invaders. No matter how the Japanese try to hide, they will eventually be shattered by bullets.

The more fanatical the Japanese are, the faster they will die.

Especially those who screamed with bayonets and were ready to rush upwards were completely cutting wheat. Piece by piece falling.

This is Zhang Chu's confidence.

Although the regular Eighth Route Army was only more than a thousand. The others are local armed forces. However, one-on-one, absolutely clean up the Japanese invaders.

The only thing he had to do now was to stop the Japanese from escaping.

Of course, it would be better if the Japanese in Quancheng came out for reinforcements. This will make it easier to siege the city in the future.

But......

The Japanese in Quancheng did not come out to reinforce them.

"Nani?"

"The Hinoki Wing is surrounded by unidentified Chinese troops?"

"Yaga!"

Akishige Ikeda, who received the report, was surprised.

As commander of the 114th Division, Ikeda was tasked with defending Izumijo and Taian.

At the same time, the division of troops was constantly carried out to occupy other surrounding counties. Plunder war resources. Foster pro-Japanese forces. In general, there is nothing dangerous.

The things that charged into battle were all left to other divisions and regiments to do. Including the 10th and 5th Divisions.

As a result, I didn't expect to go out of two brigades and be surrounded?

A stone's throw away.

The telescope can't be seen though. But the sound of gunfire could be faintly heard.

That's too much!

The Chinese army actually hit the Japanese army right under their noses.

"Yaga!"

Ikeda wanted to send troops immediately to clean up the damn Chinese army.

Dare to attack a tiger right under the tiger's nose!

I really don't want to live anymore.

However......

The staff officers looked at each other.

In the short term, it is simply impossible to draw reinforcements.

Originally, the Hinoki Wing stationed in Quancheng was the last mobile force of the 114th Division. The rest of the forces were scattered elsewhere.

Due to the tight front line in Tengxian County, the 10th Division needed to concentrate its forces, so the vacated area had to be handed over to the 114th Division for defense.

As a result, the 114th Division successively sent half a brigade and one and a half brigades to prepare to take over the defense.

Who knows, just after walking out of Spring City, something happened.

Damn it!

It is estimated that the previous half of the brigade also had an accident.

Because the 12.7mm machine gun was too powerful, it smashed the Japanese radio station when it was fired. Therefore, half of the Japanese brigade that had been eliminated before had no time to report the battle situation.

Reinforce?

That's impossible to reinforce.

Now, what Ikeda needs to consider is whether Izumi Castle can be defended.

The Chinese army actually dared to surround the Japanese army of more than 1,000 people, and maybe they dared to attack Quancheng. It's really not a joke.

At this moment, there are only more than 1,000 defenders in Quancheng.

Who would have thought that the main forces of the Chinese army would suddenly appear nearby? It is estimated that there are tens of thousands.

Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to besiege two Japanese brigades.

"Yaga!"

"Recall all nearby garrisons at once!"

Akishige Ikeda was quick to decide.

All units of the 114th Division were ordered to move closer to Quancheng as quickly as possible.

Except for the Taean garrison.

None of the staff officers felt that there was anything wrong.

At this moment, the most important thing is to defend the spring city. And Taean.

In other regions, give up and give up.

However, they did not expect that in the south, there was a large number of national troops, which were heading north, preparing to encircle Quancheng.

Abandoning the surrounding strongholds is tantamount to losing the outer barrier.

The national army, which is used like a tide, can just use these county towns and towns as garrisons.

More than 200,000 national troops have been pouring up one after another, and the momentum can be imagined.

At the same time, the distance between Quancheng and Tai'an has also become insurmountable. The 114th Division, inadvertently split into two pieces.

One piece, in Springs.

One piece, in Taean.

Of course, some staff officers of the Japanese army also noticed. But there was no attention.

After all, both Quancheng and Tai'an have relatively complete fortifications. As long as the Japanese army has one wing, it can hold it. Then wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Quancheng is very close to North China. The Japanese army in North China could quickly move south to reinforce it.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Zhang Chu did not know the strategic deployment of the two sides. There is no need to know.

What he has to do now is to eliminate the two brigades of Japanese invaders. Then turn around and attack Springs.

All kinds of fire poured down.

The two Japanese brigades were subjected to a devastating attack.

"Well played!"

"Well played!"

Director Luo was relieved.

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army had no pressure.

With the blessing of various high-power weapons, it is only a matter of time before the entire army of the Japanese invaders is destroyed.

In fact, many troops were not used.

Basically, mortars and large-caliber heavy machine guns play the leading role.

The infantry artillery of the Japanese invaders also did not come in handy.

As soon as the battle began, he was hit by the mortars of the Eighth Route Army and had no chance to fire.

"Bang ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sound of artillery continued. Repeatedly sweep the battlefield.

There were almost no casualties among the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Because there is no need to charge.

It's basically just watching.

Watching the Japanese invaders being blown up.

The only consumption is the shells.

This Director Luo is a little heartbroken. This shell also consumes too much.

Just one battle, more than 10,000 shells were consumed!

Maybe even tens of thousands of rounds!

Is this a war?

It's splashing water!

Tens of thousands of shells are enough for the Eighth Route Army for a year!

But now......

It's a bit of a loser!

Of course, the effect of the indiscriminate bombing is really good.

The Japanese had no chance to fight back.

After more than an hour, all the Japanese invaders were wiped out. Not a single one is alive.

However, the flag of the Japanese Wing was not captured.

"Ding......

"You recover a Japanese command knife (Osa) ......"

"You get a sporadic bonus: a domestic 122-mm howitzer."

Good!

Another howitzer.

Counting them, there are already five 122-mm howitzers.

There were also seven Type 59 tanks.

These weapons are very important. for they were to attack the city of Springs.

Attacking fortifications is not possible without heavy weapons.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

The gunfire gradually subsided.

Quickly replenish ammunition.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

One by one, the airdrop packages fell.

It was full of all kinds of bullets and shells. The fighters quickly stuffed themselves.

And then......

March to Springs City!

Soon, the special battalion arrived in Quancheng first.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

The Japanese sentries opened fire.

Akishige Ikeda immediately realized that the situation was dangerous.

The Chinese came so fast!

It only took two or three hours to kill Quancheng!

However, he ordered the Japanese to retreat, and only a few squadrons arrived.

At present, the defenders of Quancheng have only 2,000 troops.

Thankfully, there were 2,000 of them.

Otherwise, if there are only a thousand people, 100% of the jade will be broken.

Don't dare to slack off. Hurriedly report to the superiors.

Who is his superior? North China Front. The commander was Shouichi Terauchi.

"Nani?"

"The Chinese army is trying to encircle Quancheng?"

"Impossible!"

Terauchi Shou didn't believe it at first.

As far as the Japanese offensive is currently overwhelming, there is basically no possibility for the Chinese army to stop it.

Suddenly a group of Chinese troops appeared and wanted to besiege Quancheng?

It always felt like something was wrong......

"Your Excellency, urgent information."

"Say."

"There are all kinds of indications that a large number of Chinese troops are gathering from the south in the direction of Tai'an and Quancheng."

"Go on."

"Among them, there are many group armies commanded by Sun Lianzhong, Zhang Zizhong, Sun Zhen, Pang Bingxun and others of the Chinese army."

"Quack ......"

Shouichi Terauchi had to start paying attention.

The purpose of the build-up of so many Chinese troops is self-evident. Their target is really likely to be Spring City.

Wrong!

Their purpose is not to conquer cities.

The purpose of the Chinese army is the 10th, 5th, and 114th divisions of the Japanese army!

Right!

That's the most dangerous thing.

Shouichi in the temple was suddenly shocked. Hurried to look at the map. Then I saw a bloody mouth on the map.

South of Tai'an, there were Chinese troops everywhere.

The 10th Division of the Japanese Army, as well as part of the 5th Division, seemed to be a little sheep in front of the beast.

Damn it!

The front line is dangerous.

The Chinese army is trying to fight a big war of annihilation!

Trying to wipe out three divisions of the Japanese army!

"Immediately order the 108th and 109th Divisions to go south."

Shouichi Terauchi made a decision.

These two divisions were the mobile forces of the North China Front, and he decided to commit them all. Give the Chinese army a counter-encirclement.

Since it's going to be a decisive battle, let's do it!

Fight a decisive battle near Izumi City!

Destroy the main forces of the Chinese army in one fell swoop!

Suddenly, I saw a staff officer cautiously entering.

"What's going on?"

"Your Excellency Commander, Jin Province reports that they have recently been attacked by the Tubalu in succession......"

"Where is it?"

"Around Shexian."

"What unit of the Eighth Route Army is it?"

"The intelligence services were unable to provide accurate information. It was judged that it was a newly formed unit of the Eighth Road. ”

"Destroy them immediately!"

"Yes!"

The staff officer turned and went.

Of course, Shouichi Terauchi didn't take this matter to heart.

didn't know that there was a person named Li Yunlong in the Tuba Road that attacked the Japanese invaders. Now he has a team of more than 500 people.

"This Li Yunlong ......"

In between battles, Zhang Chu can also play back Li Yunlong's situation through video.

Sure enough, it is the Lord who can't sit still. Fighting all day and night.

Either it's a war. Either on the way to war.

The team continues to grow.

Now there are more than 500 of them. But he was still wearing civilian clothes.

There was no way, Zhang Chu couldn't provide military uniforms.

Li Yunlong doesn't need it either.

As long as you can kill devils with guns, it doesn't matter if you wear a military uniform or not.

At the same time that Zhang Chu and the others eliminated the two Japanese brigades, Li Yunlong also ambushed a squadron of the Japanese invaders. After some fighting, the Japanese squadron was almost completely annihilated.

Why almost? Because in the end, more than a dozen Japanese invaders ran away.

Of course Lao Li is not happy.

But it can't be helped.

The team he brought out is all novices!

The oldest soldier is less than a month. Including Huzi. It's been less than a month since I joined the anti-Japanese war team!

If it's a Japanese team, eat it properly and wipe it clean.

But a squadron ......

"Li Yunlong, you're too greedy, aren't you?" Zhang Chu couldn't help but say.

"Special mother, Lao Tzu wants to go to Jizhong to develop the team. There's a lot of people over there. You can pull out thousands of people at will. Li Yunlong was eager to try.

"Then you go!"

"I'll go right away!"

Li Yunlong said he would do it, and really set off to pull the team in Jizhong.

He was a free man. There is no contact with superiors. The superiors did not know much about his current situation.

In fact, at this time, the Eighth Route Army also entered Hebei Province not long ago. Many policies and guidelines are also crossing the river by feeling the stones. Even for teachers, there is no perfect policy for how to develop.

"Good!"

Zhang Chu nodded thoughtfully.

Li Yunlong goes, even if Jiaolong enters the sea, it is definitely not a regimental pattern.

This guy's appeal, appeal, and cohesion are all top-notch. Recruiting is not a problem at all. Even if it pulls up 10,000 people, it's not surprising.

As long as you provide enough weapons and ammunition yourself, it is not impossible to pull up 350,000 people.

To put it bluntly, in such troubled times, if you have a gun, you are the king of grass.

The Eighth Route Army valued actual capabilities.

If you Li Yunlong are really strong, your superiors will not be stingy. will give you the corresponding authority.

Any detachment is a brigade-level establishment.

It can be as few as a thousand or hundreds of people. Up to 10,000 people. Or even tens of thousands.

…… Far from it.

Let's get ready to attack!

First, start distributing bazookas. At the same time, training is used.

Although there are 122-mm howitzers, there are also Type 59 tanks. However, when it comes to the street fighting stage, it is definitely a bazooka.

Large trucks sent 122-mm howitzers. immediately attracted Liang Daya's attention.

"Zhang Chu, what is that?"

"Oh, it's a twelve-millimeter howitzer."

Liang Daya: ???

What?

Twelve-millimeter howitzer?

Can our Eighth Route Army still use such heavy weapons?

Oops......

It's so exciting.

So excited!

This doesn't blow up the Japanese invaders!
