    Jining. Zoucheng.

    After two days and two nights of rapid march, Li Guoyao personally led part of the main force of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps to Yishan, east of Zoucheng.

    Originally, Li Guoyao planned to rest in Yishan for two or three days, firstly to let the troops recover their strength, and secondly, to let the intelligence department get a feel for the Japanese and puppet troops' garrison status on the front line in Zoucheng and Jining, and then calmly formulate a battle plan and end Jining in one fell swoop.  City, and then threaten Jinan.

    Once Jinan is threatened, your entire Japanese army in Shandong will be completely in chaos. Let alone whether they have the ability to besiege the Shandong Guerrilla Corps again, I am afraid that they will not even be able to protect themselves by then.

    However, when he received the telegram from Zhang Tengjiao, he fell silent instantly!

    Chen Jianzhong, who was accompanying the army, was overjoyed when he learned about the situation and said: "Commander, Lao Zhang fought beautifully. He dragged the little Japanese in Guaizi Bay from beginning to end. In the last counterattack, he completely annihilated the Xiaozhong regiment and killed Xiaozhong.  That old devil, Wulang, except for his own higher casualties, everything else is perfect!"

    But Li Guoyao shook his head and said, "Alas! Lao Zhang has lost this business."

    "Compensated? How is that possible?" Chen Jianzhong asked puzzledly.

    In his opinion, Zhang Tengjiao's troops had wiped out a complete Japanese infantry regiment this time, and this also included part of the artillery reinforcements from the direction of Zaozhuang. In terms of overall combat capability, it was no less than an infantry brigade.

    In addition, this battle was a frontal battle that wiped out all the enemy forces. Not only did it severely damage the morale of the Japanese army, but it also captured a large amount of weapons, equipment and other military supplies. No matter how you look at it, this deal is not a loss!

    Li Guoyao took a sip of the slightly bitter brick tea, and then said: "This time, we wiped out an entire Japanese infantry regiment in one column. It seems to have achieved significant results. On the surface, we took advantage."

    "Is it not?"

    "In fact, this is also true. The Japs are indeed hurt by being beaten, but we can't just look at the immediate situation, we have to consider the overall battle situation!"

    "Commander, whether looking at the local or overall battle situation, we exchanged five thousand casualties for the annihilation of a reinforced regiment of the Japs. This can be regarded as a great victory. How could it be a loss-making deal!" Chen Jianzhong didn't know.  Said understandingly.

    "Old Chen, you have to see the seriousness of the situation at hand. The current situation between the enemy and ourselves is that we are absolutely outnumbered, not to mention that we do not have stable logistical support and cannot fight a war of attrition with the Japanese." Li Guoyao said.

    "I know this, but it doesn't mean that Yizong is doing a loss-making business!"

    "This battle is indeed a loss. Although on the surface we took advantage, it actually made us more passive. Look at what Lao Zhang said in this telegram. He didn't want to fight to the death with the Japanese, but in the end he still won.  We won the encirclement and annihilation battle, which shows that Lao Zhang also knew that although we won this battle, we were still defeated."

    Chen Jianzhong's eyes became even more confused, and he said puzzledly: "Commander, I still don't understand. Although we did suffer a lot of casualties, the Japanese actually killed nearly 4,000 people, so how can we be considered as compensation?  Woolen cloth?"

    Li Guoyao said: "Let's put it this way, at the tactical level we are winners, but at the strategic level we are losers."

    "How do you say this?"

    "In this battle, one column suffered more than 5,000 casualties, of which as many as 3,000 were killed directly, and more than 2,000 were lightly or seriously wounded. Even the absolute main force of the first column was almost wiped out.  After this battle, they have completely lost their combat effectiveness. What's more, not only do they not have many combat troops, but they also have more than 2,000 lightly and seriously injured people who need to be taken care of. The war is imminent, which is definitely detrimental to the morale of the frontline soldiers."

    Having said this, Li Guoyao looked at the dark night sky with confused eyes, and continued until he was awakened by the cold wind: "I thought that with the strength of Yi Zong, I could at least withstand the Japanese for more than a month, but now I see  Here comes Xuan.¡±

    ¡°According to the battle plan formulated by the headquarters, their first column should rely on the mountainous area east of Shanting County to block the Japanese army, and after killing a large number of Japanese troops, quickly move to nearby mountains, and then use the vast mountainous area as the battlefield.  Fight guerrilla warfare with the Japanese and drag the enemy to death during the movement."

    "With our army's accomplishments in guerrilla warfare, as long as we strictly follow the headquarters' combat plan, I believe that the First Column can achieve my tactical goals and provide us with strong strategic support for this surprise attack. But I did not  Thinking that it would develop like this in the end, Yi Zong had just fought against the Japs for a week and had suffered more than half of his casualties, the next battle will not be easy!"

    Chen Jianzhong is also a very strategic officer. After Li Guoyao said this, he alsoRealized the seriousness of the matter.

    Afterwards, Chen Jianzhong looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "Commander, our current location is near Zoucheng, and Zoucheng is not very far from Shanting. How about we allocate some troops to support the first column?  Their current strength simply cannot compete with the Japanese?"

    Li Guoyao immediately shook his head and said: "No, fighting to the death is the stupidest way to repel the Japanese attack on our base area. Judging from the current situation, we can only strategically break the Japanese army's siege of our base area."  In one fell swoop, we can determine the outcome and stabilize the situation in Lunan."

    "Don't forget that we don't have much troops now. Even if we have enough troops, we can't go south to reinforce a column. The battle at Shanting is important, but the core of this battle is to capture Jining. Beat the little devils so that they can take the initiative  withdraw troops!"

    Chen Jianzhong said: "Commander, your idea is certainly good, but what should Lao Zhang do? If we don't support them, I'm afraid Xiong'er Mountain will probably be captured by the Japs."

    Li Guoyao thought for a while and said: "It is indeed difficult to deal with Lao Zhang, but it is not impossible. They have seized so many weapons and equipment this time. As long as they are used properly, they can stop them for a while."

    "If it doesn't work, let go of the front and let the little devils rush into the Xiong'er Mountain base. As long as our speed is fast enough, the little devils won't be able to destroy too much and will get out of the base."

    "Commander, the top priority is that we need to speed up!" Chen Jianzhong said.

    "Well! How is the intelligence department's investigation into the situation in Jining and Zoucheng?" Li Guoyao asked with a solemn expression.

    At this time, Xu Ziyu, the guard captain who had been silent on the side, immediately said: "Lao Liang just sent the latest news, saying that the first batch of information has been collected, but all that has been found is some road news, and we have to wait two days for the details.  !¡±

    "I can't wait any longer. Let's talk about these road news first. Maybe they can be of great use!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Well, according to the telegram sent by Lao Liang, the Japs left a complete infantry brigade in Jining City, and placed an under-manned infantry brigade in Zoucheng. In addition, they also placed an infantry brigade each in Qufu and Tai'an.  The garrison in Teng County is slightly smaller, but there are still 300 people, but the garrison in Xiang Jiaxiang, Juye, Jinxiang and other places are much smaller, most of them only have one infantry squadron."

    Then Xu Ziyu continued: "However, the Japanese troops that left Jining City were actually complete infantry brigades. The remaining places were just empty numbers. Most of the actual establishment was only three infantry squadrons plus a small number of technical arms. In total,  The strength is between 600 and 800 men.¡±

    "What about the puppet troops? We have to consider the number of puppet troops?" Li Guoyao said.

    "The number of puppet troops is not very large. Except for an infantry brigade of puppet troops stationed in Jining City, the rest of the places only have a regiment or a brigade of puppet troops. Most of the troops are maintained at 300 to 500 people.  Time. There is really nothing to say about this small number of puppet troops, they can be completely ignored!"

    Li Guoyao frowned. The little Japs in the direction of Jining were pretty much what he expected. After all, for an important city like Jining, a brigade of defenders was slightly insufficient, and a brigade of puppet troops was barely enough.

    ¡°But there are actually hundreds of people in this small place like Zoucheng, which is indeed a bit beyond Li Guoyao¡¯s expectation.

    However, what Li Guoyao didn't know was that just before they arrived at Zoucheng, the Eighth Route Army harassed the Japanese and puppet troops in this area for a long time, forcing the Japanese and puppet troops in the Jining direction to strengthen the Zoucheng defenders, but he never thought  But it was Li Guoyao who met him. It can only be said that every cause must have its effect!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
