    Another soldier from a squadron died. The process was also strange. He couldn't even see clearly what the enemy looked like.

    Colonel Okazaki was really scared this time. The opponent was able to come and go freely in their heavily guarded camp, and he killed one of his squadrons in one move. It was so damn scary.

    Not only Colonel Okazaki, but also everyone in the wing headquarters felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. The enemy who came and went without a trace was like an unfathomable nightmare. It was too scary.

    At the same time, Okazaki Shigeo also realized that the existence of Li Guoyao's troops, which could make everyone from the base camp to the regiment headquarters hear about it, was by no means a wasted reputation.

    Maybe the opponent¡¯s face-to-face combat capabilities are not very strong, but they have many weird and unpredictable methods!

    With such an enemy on the stand, even His Excellency Shun Tada, who is famous in the military, can't avoid it. Perhaps only Lord Okamura can fight with that magical general!

    Fortunately, the division headquarters was very fast and did not keep Okazaki Shigeo waiting. At around 10 o'clock in the morning on May 20, the main force of the 17th Division arrived in Feng County.

    Since the Okazaki Regiment itself was not full and had suffered considerable losses in the past few days of fighting, it was no longer enough to capture Shan County. Therefore, after some consideration, Lieutenant General Hirabayashi Morito decided to send the cavalry regiment and artillery.  The first battalion of the wing, the tank squadron and a brigade of transport troops went to Zhongxing Town for reinforcements.

    At the same time, Tairabayashi Morito issued new orders to the frontline troops. In view of the stubborn resistance of the Chinese army and the destruction of a large number of soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, severe punishment must be carried out. Therefore, in addition to capturing Heze City and annihilating the troops in southwest Shandong, this battle  The Chinese army will also carry out punitive revenge on Lu Xi's troops. In the following battles, everyone does not need to pay attention to military discipline until the city of Heze is captured.

    After the order was issued, the Japanese troops on the front line seemed to be on fire, especially the Okazaki regiment, which served as the vanguard. The originally sluggish morale slowly rose, and all the soldiers were eager to leave immediately.

    Of course the ordinary soldiers were happy, but the happiest person was Colonel Okazaki. As an experienced commander, he knew exactly what such an order meant.

    The soldiers under his command will definitely be able to unleash 200% combat effectiveness in the next battle, because money and silk are very attractive. As long as they defeat the Chinese army in front of them, they will have the opportunity to rob.

    If they capture a village, then they can rob the village. If they capture a town, then they rob a town. If they capture a city, then the place they rob becomes a city, even if it is just for the opportunity to make a fortune.  , these soldiers will also fight tooth and nail.

    And as the supreme commander of this unit, he is the biggest boss. The soldiers below must share his share no matter how many good things they grab.

    Of course, he also needs to pay tribute to the division commander above, but so what, if he can conquer Shan County or even Heze, the benefits will be unimaginable.

    These people are different from those in Japan. Many of them belong to aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. Many of them are big businessmen and landowners, with a fortune of tens of millions. Any one of them can make them whole.  The division's mouth was full of oil.

    The only thing that dissatisfies Colonel Okazaki now is that the Chinese army is blocking the front, and the Chinese people behind are clearing the country. If this continues, they may not be able to grab much.

    After thinking about it again and again, Colonel Okazaki decided that after the reinforcements arrived, the main force would continue to move forward and go straight to Shan County.  But a partial force must be detached to search for those abominable farmers in the nearby mountains and forests.

    Colonel Okazaki believed that the Imperial Japanese Army¡¯s plan to march north to attack southwestern Shandong was temporarily designated, and the Corps Headquarters was not even notified, so it was certainly impossible for the person in charge to know the news in advance.

    And it is impossible to prepare if you don't get the news in advance. This can also be seen from the retreat of those people. Many people still have their food in the pot, and there are even some livestock in the village.  They did not take away poultry, such as chickens and ducks, which were difficult to catch. It can be seen that many people were notified at short notice and left in a hurry.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????? The radius of action of clearing the country in such a short period of time will certainly not be very large. The vast majority of rural people will probably just hide in the nearby mountains. If they carry out mountain searches, they will definitely make a lot of money.

    May 21st was another day of offensive operations. At six o'clock in the evening, the Okazaki United finally arrived outside Shanxian City.

    That night, the Japanese army began to attack the city after dinner!

    The battle lasted from 8pm to 11pm the next day.After 15 hours of frantic fighting and suffering huge casualties, the Okazaki unit finally captured Shanxian County.

    After entering the city, the troops quickly took control of Shanxian's city defense, and then reported their victory to the division headquarters.

    At this point, in just four days, the 17th Division captured all the territory of Feng County and Shan County. At the same time, the 17th Division Headquarters sent another brigade from Feng County to the north to attack Pei County.

    Judging from the current situation, it seems impossible for the defenders of Peixian County to stop the Imperial Japanese Army, and capturing Peixian County is not a big problem.

    Sure enough, less than an hour after the good news of the Okazaki Regiment was reported to the division headquarters, good news also came from Peixian County. The Imperial Japanese Army defeated the Peixian defenders and reoccupied this small county.

    When the news came, the entire 17th Division headquarters was extremely excited!

    Originally, the 17th Division was a field force ranked among the top twenty. Although it has gone through things like revoking its designation and rebuilding, this unit still calls itself an elite force.

    And they have always felt that they are very powerful. Whether it is the division commander Hirabayashi Morito or ordinary front-line officers, the entire 17th Division feels that although they are a C-class division, their combat effectiveness is no better than those of A-class divisions.  Difference.

    Precisely because of this arrogant and arrogant self-confidence, this unit does stand out from all the C-class divisions.

    Moreover, under the guidance of Lieutenant General Hirabayashi Morito, almost all the officers and soldiers of the 17th Division believed that they were one of the most elite field troops of the Imperial Japanese Army, second only to the Guards Division, the 5th Division, and the 6th Division.  The limited field divisions such as regiments are only slightly inferior, and they are much stronger than the 108th, 109th and other divisions.

    After all, in any army, the ranking is never based on the time of formation, it is based on the actual performance.

    Although the reconstruction of the 17th Division did not take long, it only took less than two years.  Most of the other divisions are old units that have been established for several years, such as the 13th Division, 9th Division, 101st Division, 106th Division, 21st Division and 32nd Division.  The performance of the troops on the battlefield can only be described as unsatisfactory.

    There are even many divisions that have had their designations revoked due to repeated defeats. Even those that have not had their designations revoked are still beaten to death by the Chinese army.

    Especially when facing Li Guoyao's troops, these troops performed even more disappointingly. Only their 17th Division could not only take advantage of the battle, but might even defeat Li Guoyao's troops in one fell swoop and recapture southwestern Shandong.  .

    With this judgment, Ping Lin Shengren became more determined to take over Heze City alone!

    As for why Li Guoyao's unit suddenly became so vulnerable, Hirabayashi Morito also gave his own reason, that is, the combat effectiveness of Li Guoyao's unit has declined.

    After all, war is about killing people. It is common to kill ten thousand enemies and lose eight thousand!

    Some time ago, Li Guoyao's troops destroyed nearly 6,000 troops in southwestern Shandong. When they attacked southwestern Shandong, they must have suffered a lot of casualties. Calculated based on a one-to-one ratio, the number of troops lost by the opponent would not be less than 6,000.

    However, the Imperial Japanese Army had to spend a lot of effort to replenish the loss of 6,000 men. Li Guoyao's troops could only be regarded as a local army, and their replenishment capabilities were definitely not as good as the Imperial Japanese Army. Even if they could barely replenish their troops,  His training situation will definitely not be very good either.

    After all, it takes at least half a year for a qualified soldier to develop from a recruit to a combat effectiveness member if his cultural level is not bad.

    "It only took Li Guoyao's troops to attack southwestern Krug for only about four months. How could it be possible to return to peak condition in such a short period of time?

    What's more, most of the Chinese army is directly transformed from farmers into soldiers. The cultural level of these people is really not good. The vast majority of soldiers are illiterate, and their acceptance ability is definitely not as good as that of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    As a result, Tairabayashi suddenly felt as if he had deciphered some secret, and even more felt that he had found an excellent fighter opportunity to eliminate Li Guoyao's troops. In order not to give other troops a chance to take the credit, Tairabayashi did not even ask the third party.  The 12th Army Corps Headquarters reported the situation, but instead quietly ordered the frontline troops to speed up the attack and be sure to capture Heze City before the Corps Headquarters could react.

    What Hirabayashi Morito didn¡¯t know was that it was precisely because of his self-righteousness and madness that he eventually led his troops into the abyss of hell!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
