    Juye. Wolongshan Town. Leishan.

    Li Bing and others have been waiting here for a day and a half. After they were ordered to conquer Juye County, the main force moved to Wolongshan Town and built defensive positions on the Leishan line to wait for the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements.

    The battle on the front line in Heze was very fierce, so everyone thought that the Japanese reinforcements could not be delayed for too long, and the war might start soon.

    However, what they didn¡¯t expect was that after just two days of waiting, they still had not waited for the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.

    In the temporary command post, Li Bing, Zhao Wenshan and others couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and everyone was a little impetuous.

    "Old Li, do you think the stupid little devil has taken a detour? Why aren't you here yet at this hour?" Zhao Wenshan asked with a frown.

    "What, can't wait?"

    "That's not true. The main reason is that the battle on the front line is so urgent. Once the little devil takes a detour, the commander and the others will be in trouble!"

    "Don't worry too much. The little devil can only mobilize reinforcements from two directions, one is Jining and the other is Liaocheng. The full force of Liaocheng defenders is only one brigade, and they have to bear the pressure from the Eighth Route Army, so they can't be mobilized at all.  How many troops should be sent? On the contrary, Jining is close to Jinan and reinforcements can be mobilized at any time, so this time the reinforcements of the little devil can only come from the direction of Jining!"

    Li Bing then continued: "From Jining to Heze, Juye is the only way to go. They can't go around it, so we can just wait and see!"

    "That's all we can do, I'm really worried"

    Just as he was talking, a combat staff officer hurriedly came in to report: "Report, urgent call from the reconnaissance force!"

    "Read it!" Li Bing said.

    "Front pointer: Our second reconnaissance team found traces of Japanese reinforcements on the Xintiao River line. The enemy army was mainly infantry, with a total of about 2,000 people. The leading force was a cavalry squadron, followed by 8 cars and 6 vehicles.  The Type 95 tank and the infantry followed at the end, and no heavy weapons such as mountain artillery and field artillery were seen!"

    After listening to the report of the combat staff, Li Bing immediately said: "Let the reconnaissance troops pay close attention to the movements of the little devil, and report immediately if there is any situation!"

    "yes!"

    After the combat staff left, Li Bing looked for it on the map and said, "We found Xintiaohe. This is a township between Juye and Jining. It is less than ten kilometers away from Leishan. At the marching speed of a little devil,  It will take at least two hours to arrive.¡±

    "I don't think it will be used. The Japanese soldiers in Heze area may be annihilated at any time. The speed of reinforcements must be several times faster than before, so the two-hour journey may be reduced to one hour!" Zhao Wenshan said.

    "Well, we don't have much time left!"

    "What to do?"

    "What can we do? Let's fight! Let all the brothers enter the position and fight against the Japanese soldiers!"

    "yes!"

    At around two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the National Army troops on the Leishan front line finally waited for their guests¡ªthe Japanese troops who were reinforcing Heze!

    At this time, the Japanese army also knew that Leishan in front of them and Wolongshan Town behind them had been occupied by the Chinese army. If they wanted to rush to the battlefield, the only way they could do it was to defeat the enemies in front of them. There was no other way.

    As the supreme commander of the Japanese reinforcements, Fujiwara Shinji was in an angry mood at this time, not only because his cousin died in the battle in southwest Shandong, but more importantly, the ambush last night had made him feel angry until now.  It's all like a dream.

    Last night when they were rushing to the front line by train, they were ambushed by unknown armed forces when they were about to arrive in Jining.

    His troops suffered heavy losses in this battle, and even Colonel Miyazaki, who was fighting with him, was killed. For this, Fujiwara Shinji was severely reprimanded by the Corps Headquarters.

    Fujiwara Shinji is a standard iron-blooded soldier. In his opinion, all soldiers should fight for the will of His Majesty the Emperor. For this reason, his father, two brothers, one son, and three nephews are all serving in the military. It can be said that  A military family.

    However, unlike the arrogant thoughts that exist among Japanese officers, Colonel Fujiwara Shinji has a clear understanding of the Sino-Japanese War. He knows that although the Imperial Army has achieved brilliant results, it took just ten months to occupy  One-third of China's territory and even the capital of China were captured, but this was still far from the complete destruction of China.

    Because until now, the Chinese government has been stubbornly resisting, and they have not given up resistance.

    In addition, various local warlords and political parties with different opinions in ChinaThe same goes for the armed forces led by the party. They have not given up. Their will to resist is unimaginably tenacious, and their combat effectiveness is getting stronger.

    More importantly, the economy and resources within the Empire of Japan simply do not allow the empire to engage in a long-term large-scale war, otherwise the empire's economy may collapse.

    So now there are only two ways in front of the empire. One is to make peace with the supporter/that person, but the supporter/that person may not be willing, and those within the empire will not agree either.

    ?Then you can only take the second path and fight hard until one party falls.

    Because of this, after being ambushed yesterday, they just rested in Jining City for a day, and continued on their way after receiving a batch of supplies the next day.

    As soon as they came out of Jining City, the aviation force informed them that Juye, Wolongshan Town and Leishan were all occupied by the Chinese army.

    But even so, Fujiwara Shinji ordered the troops to continue advancing until they reached Thunder Mountain!

    At the foot of Thunder Mountain, Fujiwara Shinji did not rush to attack, but first carefully observed the terrain not far away with a telescope!

    The more he looked, the more surprised he became. Colonel Fujiwara discovered that the Chinese army on the opposite side was extraordinary. Not only was the position chosen very cleverly, it was blocking the only way to Juye, and there was no place nearby that could be detoured.

    ?????????????? And the fortifications of the unit/unit on the opposite side are very meticulously constructed, and the trenches are arranged horizontally and vertically very cleverly. Even he, a veteran who has experienced battles for a long time, has to admire him.

    It seems that this battle will definitely be difficult to fight. At least with the two thousand men in his hands, it will be difficult to defeat so many enemy troops.

    Fortunately, reinforcements are already on the way and should arrive in a short time.

    While Fujiwara Shinji was observing the defenders' positions, Li Bing and others were also sizing up these Japanese troops. They didn't know it, but they really made a mistake at first sight.

    I carefully observed the little devil at the foot of the mountain through the telescope for several minutes. The more I looked at it, the more surprised I became!

    "Old Zhao, things are getting difficult to handle. We have met the elite of the Japs!" Li Bing said in a deep voice.

    "Oh, how did you know that this is the elite of the little devils?" Zhao Wenshan asked immediately.

    ¡°Look at the shoes!¡±

    "shoe?"

    "Yes, look at the cowhide shoes that little devil is wearing, they are serious things!"

    ¡°It¡¯s just a pair of shoes, what can you tell?¡± a combat staff member asked puzzledly.

    "You new recruits really have a lot to learn, but don't underestimate the shoes on the little devil's feet. They are not ordinary goods, but "knitted boots". They are very awesome!"

    "Knitting boots? Never heard of it!"

    Li Bing immediately explained: "The so-called "knitted boots", the correct name is "Sho Wu style knitted boots", these are the Japanese military boots with the best workmanship and the finest materials. The uppers are all made of the highest quality.  The calfskin is all meticulously sewn with waxed thread. Because of the lack of rubber, the best seven-layer hard cowhide is used as the base. The workmanship alone is not cheap. "

    "In addition, because the cowhide soles have no texture and are not anti-slip, the "braided boots" use 35-44 steel nails as the soles, and iron palms can also be nailed on the heels and other parts, which have excellent anti-slip and stab-proof capabilities."

    As soon as Li Bing finished speaking, Zhao Wenshan said: "No matter how you say it, it's just a pair of shoes, what can you tell!"

    "Hmph, I really don't know how you got to be the captain, you don't even know about this!"

    Then Li Bing said again: "Although braided boots are very heavy, they are very practical. However, due to the cost, the Japanese themselves cannot afford them, so such military boots usually only have one pair per person, and ordinary troops use them up."  It will no longer be distributed. And with the shrinking of Japan's military industrial production capacity and the expansion of the size of the army, Japanese soldiers after 39 years will no longer have this treatment."

    "Therefore, braided boots became the standard equipment for a group of old Japanese soldiers after Showa 5. Such teams are all old Japanese soldiers who have been around for many years. They have seen wind and waves, fought in battles, and have strong combat effectiveness."

    Zhao Wenshan and others were shocked and immediately realized that these Japanese soldiers even had such sophisticated shoes, not to mention their weapons, equipment and training level?

    After confirming with their eyes, they were indeed the elite troops of the Little Japs, and everyone couldn't help but cheer up.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
