    After the North China Front Army Headquarters received the telegram sent by Sangmu Chongming from the Jining front line, Lieutenant General Tada Shun's reaction was similar to that of Sangmu Chongming, with a look of despair.

    He knew that aviation was unreliable, but he didn't expect it to be so unreliable, that it couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe!

    Are all those pilots blind?

    Out of anger, Shun Tada immediately called Lieutenant General Tokugawa, the commander-in-chief of the Aviation Corps, and cursed him.

    And Lieutenant General Tokugawa was shocked when he learned the news. The pilots under his command actually blew up one of his own men, and seriously injured a major general brigade commander. After recovering from his injuries, he may be ordered to retire!

    Lieutenant General Tokugawa suddenly felt thunder rolling from the sky. What the hell is this?

    If people sit at home, disaster will come from heaven!

    Immediately, Lieutenant General Tokugawa immediately called the person in charge of Jinan Airport and asked them to report the detailed situation to the Aviation Corps Headquarters!

    At this time, Major Onodera and others, who had just returned from the voyage, knew what had happened!

    When they learned that the aerial bomb they dropped had blown up their own headquarters, everyone including Onodera was stunned. They had always thought that this kind of incident would only happen to the airborne brigade, and it was absolutely impossible.  Happened to them bombing troops.

    However, the facts are before their eyes, and they cannot help but deny it!

    ※But admit it, admit it, Major Onodera also feels that he is more unjust!

    The situation in Heze City was like that at that time. Not to mention the specific situation below, we couldn*t even tell how big the city was!

    And the operating regulations of the aviation forces left them helpless. They couldn't return home with the bombs, so they had no choice but to drop them.

    In fact, what they wanted to blow up was the garrison's position outside the city, but they unexpectedly hit one of their own.

    Faced with the accountability of the 110th Division, Major Onodera could only tell the truth, but he did not admit that it was the combat quality of their aviation regiment that was not good, but that the situation on the front line was more complicated.

    More importantly, Onodera has always felt that as the top commander on the front line, Major General Nagano should not have set up the headquarters so far forward, almost next to the Japanese positions. Not to mention the special situation at the time, even if it was ordinary  Under such circumstances, it is possible to be accidentally bombed at such a close distance.

    In short, Major General Onodera is absolutely unwilling to take the blame!

    After understanding the situation, Lieutenant General Tokugawa also felt that the frontline pilots could not be blamed for this matter, and the infantry also had an unshirkable responsibility.

    Therefore, Lieutenant General Tokugawa reported the facts of the matter to the front army headquarters and suggested that the infantry on the front line should pay attention to keeping a distance from the enemy.

    Soon this matter was reported to the 110th Division Headquarters. Sangmu Chongming learned that the aviation force had put the blame on them, and he was immediately angry, and a big fight began.

    Since Sangmu Chongming was in Jining City at this time, and the frontline troops had no one to command and were in chaos, Sangmu Chongming had to order the troops to suspend the attack and wait for him to leave before making a decision.

    Without the threat of the 110th Division, only the troops of the 10th Division on the northern front were left in Heze City, and the pressure was suddenly relieved a lot.

    Soon, the attack on the 23rd ended!

    After the Japanese attack on the Heze front line ended, the 111th Division headquarters immediately began to count casualties!

    Originally, Commander Chang thought that in such a fierce battle and on the first day of the attack, the casualties of the troops must be beyond imagination.

    However, when the casualty data of each unit came up, they were surprised to find that in the whole day of fighting today, their 111th Division lost a total of more than 800 people, of which only 412 were killed.

    How to put it this way, the casualties of 800 people are indeed very heavy for ordinary battles.  After all, the 111th Division only had more than 9,000 men in its heyday, and the 800 men accounted for almost one-tenth of the division's total strength.

    Now, the 333rd Brigade has suffered heavy casualties in previous battles, and the total number of troops in the division is only more than 6,000.

    In other words, in today*s battle, the casualties of the 111th Division accounted for more than one-eighth of the total strength, which is really not a tragedy.

    But you must know that the current battle is extraordinary. Their 111th Division is facing two major Japanese infantry divisions. In just one day, these two divisions launched more than ten attacks on Heze City. As a result,  They were all repulsed, and compared to the scale of the battle, the casualties of 800 people were a bit insignificant.

    What*s more important is that after Mr. Chang drove away that traitor Miao Chanliu,?The troops directly under the 57th Army Headquarters were under control. Although there were less than 5,000 troops, there were now more than 11,000 troops under his command.

    ※If we calculate the daily casualties of 800 people, we can hold on for half a month after all the troops in the city are exhausted.

    ※Besides, we are all experienced people and know that the Japanese attack cannot always be as sharp as it is now. The later it reaches, the more exhausted the attacking party will be and the weaker its combat effectiveness will be.

    The defending side will become more and more accustomed to this kind of battle, and the longer it will persist.

    In addition, Commander Chang and others also believed that since Li Guoyao, this magical general, went to fight in person, he would definitely not let the little devils easily eat up their 57th Army. Otherwise, their 9th Army's work would have been in vain this time.

    After all, that agreement was an agreement between the Ninth Army and the 57th Army. Anyone else would definitely not recognize it!

    There were only 800 casualties throughout the day. Commander Chang immediately reported the situation to the Sulu Theater Headquarters and also sent an enemy situation report to Li Guoyao.

    After receiving the telegram from Commander Chang, Li Guoyao smiled. If the fight continued like this, the Japanese army might not be able to knock down Heze City even if they gave them half a month, and by that time they would have finished their work.

    After announcing the telegram throughout the army, Li Guoyao immediately contacted Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai and others. After learning that the troops on the front line of Xiong'er Mountain were ready for battle, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to start taking action.

    At the same time, the Sulu Theater Headquarters also ordered the headquarters artillery regiment to rush to Teng County immediately and launch an attack on the Japanese troops in Teng County overnight, striving to capture the county seat of Teng County.

    Commander-in-Chief Yu spent a lot of money this time, shaking out all the family assets in the Sulu Theater. There were as many as 20,000 troops deployed in Teng County alone, as well as more than 30 large-caliber artillery pieces, and even Yu Company.  There are 4 heavy guns.

    In addition, in the nearby Shanting County, more than 20,000 people were deployed in the Sulu War Zone, and the posture was completely desperate.

    Because the Sulu Theater Headquarters suddenly added a large number of technical arms, the firepower was more than doubled. The Japanese army in Shanting County was caught off guard.

    At 9:30 pm on the 23rd, Shanting County was captured by the 113th Division, the main force of the Sulu Theater. In this battle, more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops were annihilated, but the enemy troops were not completely wiped out. The Shanting garrison commander, Colonel Okubo, arrived before the city was broken.  He took the remaining troops and evacuated Shanting.

    But even so, the fall of Shanting shocked Kimura Hy身taro in Zaozhuang City!

    Although Shanting is only a small county town in the north of Zaozhuang, with a small population and even no train access, its location is still important.

    After the Chinese army captured Shanting, they could advance and attack Teng County with the troops in Teng County, or they could go south to threaten Zaozhuang City, while retreating could leave a retreat for the national troops in Teng County.

    It can be said that Commander-in-Chief Yu hit Kimura Hy身taro right on the back!

    Without hesitation, Kimura Hy身taro immediately mobilized troops from Yixian, Zaozhuang and Xuecheng. More than 6,000 people were assembled. Under the command of the division chief of staff, Colonel Suzuki Jutaro, they immediately went north to coordinate with the Okubo force that had withdrawn from Shanting.  The troops counterattacked Shanting.

    However, what Hy身taro Kimura didn*t know was that while they were busy counterattacking Shanting, Li Guoyao*s troops from Xiong*er Mountain had already moved towards Zaozhuang City!

    If Hy身taro Kimura had read the Chinese military treatise Thirty-Six Stratagems, he would have known that this is called to lure the tiger away from the mountain, or to build a plank road openly and secretly attack Chen Cang!
