    Yizong is the longest-established unit of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps. It is the old elite of the former 61st Army. Their weapons and equipment are all Japanese-made weapons. The rifles are all 38-type Gaogai.  There is no such thing as Hanyang Zao.  The machine guns are mainly crooked guns, and there are also a small number of Type 96 light machine guns.

    In addition, there are many grenades and mortars in the army, which are standard equipment for the Japanese army in combat. In addition to these, there are also eight anti-aircraft machine guns, which are used to deal with the Japanese tank troops and aviation.

    As the counterattack order was issued, more than a thousand soldiers jumped out of the trenches at the same time and launched a counterattack toward the Japanese positions.

    Thousands of soldiers opened fire at the same time, and the first dozen light machine guns were full of firepower, quickly defeating the infantry squadron at the Japanese forward position!

    The Japanese army had just changed their commanders. They did not expect that Zhang Tengjiao would dare to take the initiative to charge his troops, and they were caught off guard.

    In less than two minutes, nearly 200 soldiers were killed and injured by Zhang Tengjiao's troops, and they lost their combat effectiveness.

    Colonel Shinozuka Kunigoro, who was in charge of the front-line command, was extremely angry and ordered the artillery to ignore his own soldiers and immediately fire at the approaching Chinese army.

    "Boom boom boom"

    On the Japanese artillery position, more than a dozen mountain guns and a dozen mortars opened fire at the same time, and dense shells fell from the sky, completely covering the two sides fighting.

    In the telescope, Zhang Tengjiao and others were stunned. They obviously did not expect that the Japanese army would fire at such a close distance!

    In the view of Zhang Tengjiao and others, there are soldiers on both sides of the forward position, and now both sides have suffered casualties after such a long period of fierce fighting. Now every soldier lost is one less, so he estimates that the Japs will not fire.

    But he underestimated the ruthlessness of Shinozuka Kunigoro. This man was a war machine completely brainwashed by the bushido spirit. In his eyes, the orders of the division and regiment headquarters and the front army were the most important. As for the lives of his subordinates,  He doesn't care about life and death, and even he himself is ready to be shrouded in horse leather at any time.

    ¡°Just imagine, a person who doesn¡¯t even care about his own life would still care about the life and death of others. This is not a joke!

    In Shinozuka Kunigoro's view, although there are many Japanese soldiers on the forward position, the number is far less than that of the Chinese army. This is the most appropriate time to fire. One shot may kill five people, of which the Japanese can account for at most one.  The remaining four are all Chinese, which is a good deal.

    It is indeed true that after a shelling, the Japanese army lost some soldiers, but it was much smaller than Zhang Tengjiao's troops.

    Under the crazy bombardment of the Japanese army, Zhang Tengjiao's troops suffered heavy casualties. Less than 700 of the 1,000 men who went up were killed and more than 180 were injured.

    Faced with all the losses, Zhang Tengjiao reluctantly gave the order to retreat. The first counterattack was repelled by the Japanese.

    Zhang Tengjiao then organized two more small-scale counterattacks, but the results were not very good, and they were beaten back by the Japanese!

    In desperation, Zhang Tengjiao had no choice but to order his troops to stand still and wait for reinforcements from the headquarters!

    At this time, a total of three brigades under Li Guoyao were rushing to the front line of Shanting, and the Japanese army also had 4 brigades rushing to Shanting. The atmosphere on the front line was becoming increasingly tense.

    On the morning of the 26th, reinforcements from both sides arrived at Kidnapping Bay. So far, the combined number of Chinese and Japanese troops on the front line has exceeded 15,000.

    And this is only the strength of the two sides on the main battlefield of Guaizi Bay. Outside the main battlefield, Li Guoyao's 20,000-strong army was fully engaged in the battle, and the Japanese 32nd Division, plus the independent mixed 6th Brigade and 10th Brigade were also fully engaged.  fighting.

    In addition, half of the more than 70,000 troops from the four armies in the Sulu Theater also participated in the battle. 20,000 troops from the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army also participated in the battle. The main force of the Japanese 12th Army plus 30,000 puppet troops also participated in the battle. The entire  Except for the bandits in Shandong, basically all the gunmen in Shandong participated in the war.

    Soon, the two sides invested more than 100,000 troops. In this way, what was originally an unprepared small-scale encounter became bigger and bigger, from the small team level confrontation at the beginning to the current main force of 100,000 people.  Peak showdown.

    Such a large-scale battle not only stunned the commanders on the front line, but also Odaka Kamezo, Li Guoyao, Yu Xuezhong and others who were in the rear. The battle was definitely not what they wanted.

    The reason is simple, because neither China nor the Japanese army are ready for battle!

    This fight is not about two peopleJust close your mouth and a group of people hold guns. There are too many things involved, such as whether there is enough ammunition, how long the food and grass can last, how much the intelligence force knows about the enemy, and there is no such thing anywhere.  Proper preparation may affect the overall situation.

    Therefore, although the top leaders of both sides want to beat each other to death, they have to consider the overall situation!

    However, no one expected that an unexpected encounter would cause both sides to unleash their full firepower, and the main battle would begin in advance!

    However, the attitudes of China and Japan towards the current battle are completely different. After the Japanese army thoroughly understood the situation, the North China Front Army Headquarters immediately gave instructions to take this opportunity to break through the defense lines of the Japanese army in front of them and completely defeat Li Guoyao.  The threat to the headquarters is removed.

    In the view of Tada Shun and others, Li Guoyao's troops are too difficult to deal with. They rarely have a direct confrontation with the Imperial Japanese Army. In comparison, they prefer to fight guerrilla warfare.  Now that the two sides are fighting to the death, it is really a rare opportunity!

    But Li Guoyao and Yu Xuezhong are very worried, mainly because the Japanese army's supply capability is too strong, far beyond what the Sulu Theater and the Shandong Guerrilla Corps can compare with.

    It would be fine if this battle ended in a short time, but it would be difficult if it lasted for a month and twenty days!

    In view of the fact that this battle was the first time since the Shandong Guerrilla Corps entered the territory of Shandong in terms of scale and other aspects, and its impact was by no means comparable to that of ordinary battles, coupled with the order of the Military Commission, Li Guoyao decided to go all out.  Completely defeat the Japanese and puppet troops in front of them.

    Subsequently, Li Guoyao ordered all troops in the army to assemble immediately. Except for Zhang Tengjiao and others on the frontline battlefield, the commanders of the other troops immediately went to the headquarters for a meeting.

    ??The logistics department is carrying out strongholds and clearing fields in advance to avoid unnecessary losses to the people once the Japanese army breaks through the front positions.

    On the evening of October 26th, the meeting room of Wawashan Laozhai!

    The atmosphere in the conference room was tense, as all senior commanders including the second column, third column, cavalry column, artillery column, fire support force, and special forces gathered together.

    At this time, everyone already knew the situation on the front line. Although I heard that Yi Zong had kicked the iron plate this time and was on a par with the Japs, they didn't know what the commander was going to do by gathering so many troops. Could it be that he wanted to fight the Japs with the main force?  A decisive battle?

    It's no wonder that everyone thinks so, because when the headquarters issued the combat order to them, the tone was particularly serious and solemn. All troops, whether the main force or the new recruits, were assembled, and the logistics department even took out all the ammunition in stock.  , what is this if not a decisive battle?

    What¡¯s more, even the commander is wearing a military uniform and seems to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time. Obviously this battle is extraordinary!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
