    ?  The disastrous defeat of the national army was not limited to the third battle. In North China, while focusing on besieging the bases of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army also launched a sweep of the national army in the guerrilla zone in North China.  After all, what Gangcunning wanted to eliminate was all the Chinese troops entrenched in North China.

    The national army troops in southwestern Shanxi, southern Hebei, southwestern Shandong, and Chahar suffered heavy casualties under the joint strangling of tens of thousands of Japanese puppet troops, aircraft, heavy artillery, chariots, and cavalry.  Sun Yuanliang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the war zone, had never been seen by bald men because of his background in the Northwest Army.  In order to set an example, Okamura Ningji appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Front Army of the Puppet Army.

    Sure enough, with the example of Sun Yuanliang, those local generals who had flirted with the Japanese army on weekdays led their troops to surrender one after another. In just half a month, more than a hundred thousand national army troops turned into two devils in yellow skins.  Those new generals of the puppet army ordered the troops to turn their guns and attack the central army before they could sit still for their own good future.

    Under the joint attack of the Japanese army and the puppet army, the national army's control area and guerrilla area in North China were extremely shrunk, and a large number of troops defected to the enemy, which also caused the national army's troops in North China to shrink rapidly.  As a last resort, the main forces of the National Army's North China theaters withdrew south one after another in order to preserve their strength and avoid the sharp edge of the Japanese army.

    When Tuqiao Jiuyi commanded heavy troops to besiege the bases of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, he also dispatched nearly 50,000 puppet troops to attack the Sulu War Zone, where the headquarters was located in the mountainous area of ??southwest Shandong.

    ? Yu Xuezhong, commander of the Sulu theater, commanded the 51st Army, the main force of the theater, to set up a line in a triangle area with a radius of more than 200 miles between Yishui, Anle and Juxian to resist the Japanese attack.

    In order to completely wipe out the main force of the Sulu theater, the Japanese army in Shandong divided into three groups to attack the triangular defense line from three directions. Among them, Yishui, the main support of the defense line and the location of the Sulu theater headquarters, received the most attention from the Japanese army. They assembled 12  An infantry brigade and two divisions of the Imperial Association Army, with nearly 30,000 troops, went straight to Yishui. With the assistance of the attached artillery regiment and chariot brigade, these Japanese and puppet troops took only three days to enter the city of Linyi.  , The swiftness of the speed and the fierceness of the offensive are really astonishing.

    Guarding Yishui is the 113th Division of the 51st Army. As the first-class main force in the theater, the 113th Division has four infantry regiments and more than 10,000 soldiers.  It is so powerful that it is rare in the North China National Army.

    Although these more than 10,000 people are not enough to see in front of tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops.  However, in Yishui, the Japanese army paid a bloody price for this "not enough" troops.

    The ferocious artillery fire of the Japanese army turned the small Yishui city into a sea of ??flames, and the extra city walls were directly bombarded by large-caliber heavy artillery aimed directly at it.  After the artillery was successful, the infantry immediately began a tentative attack. Under the pressure of the Japanese bayonets, hundreds of puppet soldiers rushed towards the city wall tremblingly with their rifles in their faces.

    Immediately, the gunshots on the city wall rang out, the dull and fast Maxim, the brisk and crisp Czech style, and the dry Chinese formal The shooting sounds of various weapons merged into a pot of porridge, and the puppet soldiers who charged were immediately surrounded by airtight  Surrounded by bullet nets, they became human-shaped sieves one after another, falling down in pieces.

    Seeing that the defenders of the city still maintained a strong combat effectiveness, the Japanese army withdrew the puppet troops, artillery, mortars, and grenade launchers fired at the same time. There was a roar in the sky, and dozens of bombers flew quickly towards the city wall  It was a frantic bombardment, the city wall was full of flames, bricks, limbs and arms, pieces of cloth, and parts of various weapons were pushed by the shock wave, flying around, and the entire city wall was shaken by the bombardment.  , as if it would collapse at any moment, even those veterans who rolled out of the dead people couldn't help but feel terrified at such a scene.

    The artillery fire of the national army in the city launched a counterattack immediately. Dozens of artillery shells went straight to the artillery positions of the Japanese army outside the city.  Immediately, the Japanese aircraft swooped down, sweeping and bombing the exposed artillery positions of the national army.

    Seeing that the artillery that had been hidden without intention turned into a pile of parts in an instant, Yu Xuezhong's eyes were wide open and his face was flushed.  But he has nothing to do with the Japanese planes. As the units in the Sulu theater adapted from the Northeast Army, they can only be regarded as second-rate troops in the Central Army. The weapons and equipment and logistics are not as good as those local brands.  The anti-aircraft guns that are regarded as treasures by the direct line of the army, there are not even a few anti-aircraft machine guns.

    As for the Chinese Air Force Alas!  Although with the assistance of the United States, the Chinese Air Force, which has a large number of fighter planes and excellent pilots, already has the strength to break the wrist with the Japanese aviation force, but that is only limited to the area south of the Yangtze River.In the Sulu theater, no matter how brave the young men of the air force are, they are beyond their reach.

    After destroying the artillery positions of the national army, the Japanese planes shifted their targets to the city walls and important targets in the city.  After the ammunition was released, the Japanese pilots returned to the plane with unsatisfied faces.

    The departure of the Japanese aircraft did not relieve the pressure on the 113th Division. The Japanese artillery unit, which had been waiting for a long time, ended the mission of the aviation unit and continued to bombard Yishui County indiscriminately.

    After the intense shelling, there was an even more violent offensive. The infantry rushed, the artillery bombarded, the infantry finished the artillery bombardment, and the artillery bombarded the infantry team. This is the old Japanese routine, but it is very useful although it is old.  Under the command of Yu Xuezhong, the soldiers of the 113th Division resisted tenaciously against the shells and repelled the Japanese attacking troops time and time again.  Corpses were strewn all over the city, and both attackers and defenders were killed and injured.

    The fierce battle lasted until the fifth day. During these five days, more than 6,000 soldiers of the 113th Division died in battle. They used their bodies and flesh and blood to withstand the crazy Japanese attack.

    It was also difficult for the Japanese army. Three infantry brigades were completely disabled, and four brigades were downsized by 30%. The puppet army also suffered nearly 3,000 casualties.  Both sides are crazy, no one cares about casualties, only constant attack and counterattack, charge and countercharge.

    That night, the Japanese army sent three brigades to attack the north wall of Yiyuan City with the tactic of attacking the east and attacking the west. After attracting the main force of the defenders, the Japanese army sent a team to rush towards the south wall with explosives.  With a thunderous explosion sounded.  The city wall, which had been overwhelmed for a long time, collapsed with an earth-shattering sound. When the smoke and dust dispersed, a gap more than 30 meters long appeared on the city wall.

    The long-awaited chariot troops entered the city along the gap, shooting and crushing the defenders who were about to fight the Japanese street.  The soldiers of the 113th Division rushed out of the building where they were hiding with explosives and cluster grenades in their hands. They ignited the fuse while rushing towards the tank.  Number of chariots.

    The Japanese soldiers following the chariot were unable to use the chariot in the narrow streets, so they swarmed forward and started street fighting with the defenders.  All of a sudden, gunshots rang out in Yishui City, and soldiers from both sides wrestled with each other everywhere. The screams, curses, and explosions echoed one after another, resounding through the night sky.

    In the middle of the night, the Japanese army had occupied most of Yishui City. Upon seeing this, the commander of the 113th Division asked the special task force directly under the theater to escort Yu Xuezhong to break through the siege. He himself led nearly a thousand soldiers who were still alive to fight the Japanese army for the last time.

    Because both the north and south city walls were captured by the Japanese army, the special agent group directly under the theater could only protect Yu Xuezhong and went straight to the water gate in the west of the city. Unexpectedly, they encountered a squadron of Japanese soldiers on the way.  Break through the enemy's block.  At this time, Yu Xuezhong's guard captain led the guard platoon to the front. Although there were only more than 60 guards in the guard platoon, all of them were veterans who had experienced many battles.  Semi-automatic rifles, more than 60 automatic guns fired at the same time, and immediately stunned the Japanese army on the opposite side. The guard platoon took advantage of the chaos and stormed, and finally tore a gap in the Japanese army's defense line.  Then break out from the water gate.

    After receiving the news, the Japanese army was worried that the defenders would break through again, so they concentrated their forces, surrounded the area where the defenders were located, and launched an attack with tanks as the forerunner.

    Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the commander of the 113th Division summoned the cooks, logistics, and staff, and gave each of them a gun and a few hand grenades, and continued to fight the Japanese army by using the buildings.

    The desperate struggle of the defenders caused the casualties of the Japanese army to increase rapidly.  The frenzied Japanese army also moved the cannons into the city, and cooperated with the tank guns to shoot directly at the houses with defenders, not leaving an inch of the guns.

    As the houses were knocked down one by one, the gunfire of the defenders continued to decrease.  When the first morning light entered Yishui City, the gunshots in the city finally disappeared.

    In the entire Yishui City, except for the walls on all sides, all the buildings have been turned into rubble.

    After the fall of Yishui City, a huge gap appeared in the triangle defense line, and the swarming Japanese troops immediately launched an attack on other troops in the Sulu theater.  Before the entire army was wiped out, he ordered all the troops to withdraw southward quickly and join the 57th Army of North Jiangsu before the encirclement of the Japanese army was formed.

    But now all the troops are mixed with the Japanese army, and it is not easy to withdraw. If it is not done well, it will be another big defeat.  Yu Xuezhong could only order the troops to stop at each level and retreat gradually, and sent a regiment to set up a position in Caozhuang to cut off the rear for other troops.  With the determination to die, the officers and soldiers fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for three days and three nights against the Japanese tanks, heavy artillery, and planes. Finally, the regiment leader took the remaining dozen or so wounded in the regiment, fired grenades and rushed to the ground.  The Japanese troops in the position perished together.

    In this battle, except for more than a dozen wounded who were stunned by shells and were captured by the Japanese army after the war, all 2,736 people in the regiment were killed from the head down, and none of them escaped.  evacuation time.
