    On the night of March 23, after receiving the news that the main force of the Japanese independent mixed sixth brigade had arrived in Duozhuang Town, Mengyin County, Li Guoyao immediately issued an order to attack Zaozhuang!

    After several days of preparation, all the troops of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps participating in the attack have arrived at the attack position!

    In addition, the two combat teams of the special operations team have all sneaked into Zaozhuang City through special channels, preparing to respond to the battle outside the city after the battle begins.

    Outside Zaozhuang City, Mengzhuang Town, the temporary headquarters of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps.

    Li Guoyao arrived at the outskirts of Mengzhuang Town half an hour ago, and secretly surrounded the Japanese and puppet troops in the Mengzhuang Town stronghold.

    In the temporary headquarters, Li Guoyao looked at the military map in his hand and asked: "Is there any news about the first and second columns?"

    Liang Yong said hurriedly: "Ten minutes ago, both Zhang Tengjiao and Xie Baojun sent telegrams saying that the troops had arrived at the designated location and were ready to take action at any time."

    "Okay, first send a report to the Second Column and Third Brigade in Yixian County, order them to immediately launch an attack on the Japanese stronghold near Yixian County, and tell them not to hold back. They will use weapons such as conscienceless cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns to capture the county seat.  Try to take it down as much as possible. If you can't take it down, the little devils in the city will be beaten to pain!" Li Guoyao ordered in a deep voice.

    "yes!"

    "Send a report to the first squadron of Weishan County and order them to launch an attack on Weishan County in twenty minutes. There are not many Japanese and puppet troops in Weishan County. If we can capture the county, we will try our best to capture it."

    "yes!"

    "Let the cavalry brigade take action in forty minutes. All transportation lines from Xuzhou to Tengxian to Zaozhuang and Linyi will be handed over to them. I don't care how they do it, but I hope that before we take Zaozhuang, no matter what  Japanese troops from Xuzhou City, Linyi City, or Teng County should not appear near Zaozhuang!" Li Guoyao said domineeringly.

    "yes!"

    ?¡­

    Following Li Guoyao's order, nearly 9,000 combat troops affiliated to the Shandong Guerrilla Corps all took action. Even the more than 1,000 people in the logistics department were not idle. They were responsible for gathering mules, horses, vehicles and trolleys everywhere to prepare for the capture of Zaozhuang.  spoils of war.

    An hour later, the special operations team scattered outside Zaozhuang City came back urgently to report that in less than an hour, three groups of troops had come out of Zaozhuang City to reinforce Yixian, Weishan and Xuecheng respectively.  .

    The strength of these three reinforcements is almost the same. They are all a squadron of puppet troops plus some puppet troops. The total strength is about 400 people.

    After receiving the report from the special operations team members, Li Guoyao felt a little excited!

    The Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang were an independent sixth brigade. The original total strength was about 6,000. However, in order to reinforce the battle in the direction of Yinan, the enemy brigade commander Major General Tsuchiya took away more than 4,000 soldiers. At this time, the entire Zaozhuang  There were less than three thousand Japanese and puppet troops nearby.

    According to the investigation of the intelligence department, there should be an infantry brigade in Zaozhuang City at this time, as well as a small number of railway guards and military police units. Of course, there are also puppet troops, but the number is small.

    More importantly, the puppet troops of more than two thousand days were not all stationed in Zaozhuang, but were scattered in Xuecheng, Weishan, Yixian, Shanting, Tengxian and other places. There were actually less than a thousand puppet troops in Zaozhuang city.  More than 800 people.

    ¡°At present, the little devils have sent three groups of troops to reinforce other places, and the remaining troops in Zaozhuang City are probably only a few hundred people.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao immediately ordered people to send a report to the troops in Weishan, Xuecheng and other places, ordering them to capture those county towns before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, and build positions on the spot to entangle the enemy's reinforcements.  When the Japanese reinforcements retreat, prevent the enemy from returning reinforcements at all costs.

    After issuing the order, Li Guoyao saw that the time was almost up and immediately ordered the troops to attack the Japanese and puppet strongholds in Mengzhuang Town.

    When issuing the order, Li Guoyao specifically told the troops outside to restrain their strength as much as possible after the attack began, to put pressure on the enemy but not to completely annihilate them. The ultimate goal was to force the Zaozhuang defenders to reinforce Mengzhuang Town. He wanted to give  The little devil came to a surrounding area to help.

    At the same time, Li Guoyao also ordered the special forces that had lurked into Zaozhuang City to immediately start taking action to disrupt order in the city.

    The atmosphere in the Zaozhuang Military Police Headquarters is very tense. The person staying behind in Zaozhuang is Lieutenant Colonel Nakatani, the Chief of Staff of the Independent Mixed Sixth Brigade!

    They have just received a farewell telegram from the captain of the Weishan County garrison squadron, saying that the army has invaded Weishan County, and they are ready to live or die with the county.

    Before he could react, the garrison in the direction of Yixian County also sent a message with the same meaning.?Telegram, Yixian City was destroyed!

    Two consecutive pieces of bad news made the originally calm chief of staff feel frightened and angry, and he lost his temper in the headquarters.

    "Bageya Road, do you have any news from Yamada-kun and the others?"

    The adjutant said respectfully: "Captain Yamada sent a telegram an hour ago saying that the railway ten kilometers outside Zaozhuang was destroyed by the enemy. The train they took was unable to move forward shortly after leaving the city. In desperation,  We had no choice but to lead our troops to rescue Weishan County on foot. Weishan County is nearly 100 kilometers away from Zaozhuang, and it would take at least more than ten hours for the troops to advance on foot."

    "Baga, what's the use of going here for ten hours? Are you going to collect the corpses of the defenders?"

    After getting angry, Lieutenant Colonel Nakatani continued to ask: "What about the troops in the direction of Yi County? When will they arrive?"

    "Sir, I just received a telegram from Captain Takeda. They arrived at Yixian ten minutes ago. Unfortunately, the county seat of Yixian has been breached by an army. All the imperial soldiers guarding the city were shattered and all supplies were robbed.  , but the cunning enemy has already escaped."

    "idiot"

    Before Lieutenant Colonel Nakatani finished speaking, the radio operator stood up and said: "Sir, Mengzhuang Town was attacked by a group of troops. Our army suffered heavy casualties and now we need combat guidance."

    Hearing this, Lieutenant Commander Nakatani angrily threw the water glass in his hand to the ground, making a harsh sound.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the Bageya Road, these / that people want to do? Send my order, Ishii Squadron immediately set out to rescue Mengzhuang Town.

    The adjutant, Captain Okazaki, immediately dissuaded him: "Sir, the intention of the support/person is very clear, which is to transfer all the people in the city. The other party's target is probably Zaozhuang City. We can't be fooled by this."

    As a brigade chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Nakatani¡¯s tactical accomplishment is still very high.

    After being reminded by Captain Okazaki, he thought about it carefully and finally said after a while: "Sao, Okazaki-kun is very reasonable. The most likely target of these people is Zaozhuang City!"

    Then Lieutenant Colonel Zhongtani continued: "Pass me to order that the entire city immediately tighten martial law to prevent sneak attacks by the troops. At the same time, a report was sent to the garrison in Mengzhuang Town, saying that reinforcements would arrive after dawn, and told them to hold on.  !¡±

    "Hai!"

    After thinking about it, Lieutenant Colonel Nakatani was still a little worried and said again: "Immediately send a report to the brigade commander and the corps headquarters to report the situation and request combat guidance!"

    "Hai!"

    However, before Lieutenant Colonel Nakatani finished speaking, fierce gunfire rang out at the entrance of the headquarters, and at the same time, fierce gunfire rang out from many places in the city.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
