    After Shan County, the next target of the Japanese army is Chengwu, 35 kilometers away, and it is also infinitely close to the core area of ????Shandong Province!

    Colonel Okazaki is also an ambitious guy. After getting the support of the division commander, Lieutenant General Hirabayashi Morito, he only left part of his troops in Shan County, and the remaining main force went straight to Chengwu.

    Like Lieutenant General Tairabayashi Morito, Colonel Okazaki also believed that the combat effectiveness of Li Guoyao's troops had declined due to the previous war and subsequent expansion. The fact that Li Guoyao's troops retreated step by step during this period is a very important evidence.

    He even arrogantly stated in the telegram sent to the 17th Division that in the past few days of fighting, his regiment had wiped out at least 5,000 Chinese troops. Counting the injured, Li Guoyao's troops had lost 10,000 troops.  about.

    Of course, Colonel Okazaki knew in his heart that although Li Guoyao's troops suffered considerable losses, they were definitely less than 10,000 people, or even less than 3,000 people. The reason was that both sides of the battle in the past few days were basically Japanese troops.  The main focus is on offense, while the defenders mostly block attacks in counties with well-defended fortifications or in places where the terrain is relatively advantageous.

    And if the situation goes wrong or the troops suffer too many casualties, the defenders will immediately retreat without delay.

    Therefore, although the Okazaki United unit attacked smoothly, it never fought a battle of annihilation. The record of 5,000 men and 10,000 men was obviously false.

    However, Colonel Okazaki knew that both his soldiers and the division headquarters now needed such a glorious "results" letter. Firstly, it was used to cover up the huge casualties of the troops, and secondly, in exchange for the legion headquarters and even the front army headquarters.  support.

    Of course, Colonel Okazaki also knew that whether it was 5,000 or 10,000 people, the division and regiment headquarters believed it. After all, Fengxian, Shanxian and other places were actually captured.

    Comparing the previous operations of the 10th Division on the northern front, they did not capture a single Juye County in three days, and the troops suffered thousands of casualties. Now that they have conquered so much territory, it does not seem impossible to eliminate 10,000 Chinese troops.  .

    However, what Colonel Okazaki didn't know was that it was precisely because of his telegram that he greatly misled the 12th Army Headquarters, making them mistakenly believe that the troops of the 17th Division alone were enough to defeat the Chinese army in southwest Shandong.  Reinforcements were not sent out immediately, which ultimately led to the tragedy of the 17th Division.

    Of course, this is a later story. From the perspective of Colonel Okazaki, it was obvious that he could not imagine the long-term future. At this time, he was thinking about how to gain military glory and how to make money!

    As a scumbag who climbed up from the bottom of society and was severely beaten by society, no one loves money more than Colonel Okazaki.

    Although he did not spend a long time on the battlefield in China, Colonel Okazaki gained an extremely deep understanding of the country's wealth.

    When he was at home, Colonel Okazaki, like almost all the soldiers, believed that China was a big but weak country with weak economic strength and poor people.

    However, when he was transferred to the Chinese battlefield, he discovered that it was just a superficial phenomenon. China's economic strength was indeed not as good as that of the Japanese Empire, and the living standards of the people were also below the average level of the Japanese.

    But the heritage and wealth accumulated by this country over thousands of years are still astounding. The first batch of troops who entered China with the army, from officers to soldiers, all made a lot of money. In short, as long as they have the means and luck,  , where money is everywhere.

    Under the order of Colonel Okazaki, the headquarters marched towards Chengwu County while sending troops to sweep the surrounding mountains and forests.

    Colonel Okazaki made a good judgment. Due to time constraints, most of the people in his unit were not moved very far, and most of them were within a five-kilometer radius of the village.

    And under the raids of the Japanese army, many ordinary people who were hiding were quickly found out!

    In particular, a team from the Third Brigade actually caught an old landlord hiding in a remote ravine. They found a large amount of property from where the old rich man was hiding.

    After the final inventory, it was found that this old rich man was really a rich guy. There were five boxes containing silver coins, each of which was at least 10,000 coins, and there were also two boxes of jewelry. Now these wealth have naturally become trophies of the Japanese army.

    The news quickly spread throughout the 17th Division, and the entire 17th Division was in a turmoil!

    When Colonel Okazaki led the main force to launch an attack on Chengwu County, at least one brigade of troops was scattered around to carry out mopping up operations.

    In the words of the Japanese army themselves, the Japanese soldiers¡¯ traces were strange and they were worried that something might happen, so they needed to detach troops to carry out raids in order to maintain public order in non-security areas.situation.

    The Okazaki Regiment's attack on Chengwu County went smoothly. It only took three hours from the start of the battle to the city's defeat. After the troops captured Chengwu County, the Okazaki Regiment reported victory to the division headquarters and continued towards the next target.  Come from Dingtao.

    In Colonel Okazaki's view, Dingtao is just a small place. If you conquer it, you can attack Heze City.

    At the same time, the 17th Division Headquarters had also arrived in Shan County. After arriving in Shan County, Tairabayashi immediately sent troops to carry out a large-scale sweep. What he needed was not only to occupy these towns, but also to turn this place into a  Security District, in this way his contribution will be greater.

    At this time, the 12th Army Headquarters in Jinan City also noticed the movement in Luxi. After all, THT was not a display, and immediately sent a telegram to inquire about the situation.

    When they learned that the 17th Division had conquered Feng County, Shan County, Chengwu and other places, and was about to approach Heze City, Iida Sadagu, Hongo Yoshio and others were surprised and happy.

    If this battle had just started, they would definitely not let the 17th Division take risks. After all, the combat effectiveness of Li Guoyao's troops was not blown away.

    But now that the troops have reached Heze City and have wiped out more than 10,000 Chinese troops, there is nothing to worry about.

    According to the results of the special high-tech investigation, Li Guoyao's troops in southwest Shandong should be between 15,000 and 20,000 people. Now the 17th Division has eliminated more than 10,000 opponents, and the remaining troops should be less than 10,000.  people.

    With the combat effectiveness of the 17th Division, it is not a big problem to annihilate these ten thousand people. No matter what happens, we can defeat the opponent!

    As for the reason why the Hirabayashi Division was able to capture Southwest Shandong so quickly, Iida Sadagu and others also had their own ideas. In addition to the reason considered by Hirabayashi and others, Iida Sadagu and others felt that what Li Guoyao wanted was  There is a problem with the strategic layout of the Ministry.

    In Iida Sadagu¡¯s view, Li Guoyao¡¯s troops paid too much attention to the 10th Division in the north and placed the main force on the Juye line, which gave the 17th Division on the southern line a loophole to exploit.

    But no matter what, the performance of the 17th Division on the southern front exceeded their expectations!

    Surprised, but most of all happy!

    If the 17th Division can really calm down the chaos in southwest Shandong, it will definitely be good news for the 12th Army Headquarters.

    Moreover, the performance of the Tenth Division in Luxi in the past few days has also been very eye-catching. When Sasaki arrived and commanded more than 17,000 main troops to station in Liaocheng, the Imperial Japanese Army quickly attacked and recaptured all the previously lost towns.  return.

    The only troublesome thing is that, like the previous units, the 10th Division failed to completely annihilate the Chinese army in Western Shandong. Both Li Guoyao's troops and Tubal Road seemed to have disappeared overnight.

    Iida Sadagu and others all knew that those hateful ** people did not really disappear, but hid in the dark, waiting for opportunities.

    Therefore, under the order of Iida Sadagu, the 10th Division and the Independent Mixed Fifth Brigade, with the cooperation of a large number of puppet troops, launched a large-scale raid on the entire Western Shandong Province, trying to wipe out the Chinese army in Western Shandong Province in one fell swoop.

    All in all, these Imperial Japanese Army performed well and were full of surprises, so much so that Iida Sadagu and others seemed to see the dawn of victory.

    Chief of Staff Yoshio Hongo even suggested that if the situation in western Shandong and southwestern Shandong can really be pacified in the short term, you and the others can strike while the iron is hot and concentrate the main force to launch an attack on southern Shandong and northern Shandong to completely eliminate the threat posed by Li Guoyao's troops.  , and Iida Sadagu is also considering whether this plan is feasible.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
