Amidst this dillydallying and constant urging, the Japanese army finally arrived near Lushan!
For this hill with no special records, Colonel Yamashita still knew about it. This mountain is not high and not very steep. It is as unknown as most of the hills in southern Shandong.
But this is a landmark hill. As long as we pass Lushan, the troops will not be far from Yixian County.
And as soon as you pass Lushan, the terrain will become gentle. Although it is not a smooth road, the terrain ahead is flat and open, which is very suitable for large-scale marches of large troops. It is indeed true that thousands of people are marching on a small mountain road like this. Annoying enough.
Especially when a truck breaks down, the entire army has to stop marching. Once it is ambushed or harassed by the Japanese troops, the marching speed of the troops will be greatly slowed down.
But as long as you go to an open area, even if there are tens of thousands of Japanese people coming, Yamashita Colonel will not take it seriously.
Although the number of troops he led this time was small, the artillery force alone included a brigade and a half, equipped with 18 75mm caliber mountain guns and field guns, which was enough to deal with those Japanese.
In addition, this time he also brought more than 60 tanks. This was an assault force specially equipped by the division commander in view of their limited strength.
As long as they reach the plains, the huge artillery and armor forces in his hands can come into play. If the Chinese army does not have the strength to compete with it, then the rest will only be passively beaten!
Thinking of this, Colonel Yamashita felt very good.
¡°Looking at the time, it was already past one o¡¯clock. It would be dawn in four hours at most, and the aviation force would be able to come to reinforce them by then. This made Colonel Yamashita feel a lot better.
Colonel Yamashita rubbed his sore eyes and said to the adjutant, Captain Miyazaki, who was sitting in front: "Miyamoto, give me an order: the whole army should speed up and pass through this hill quickly, and then rush to the county seat of Yixian."
"Hai!"
"In addition, I will immediately send a report to His Excellency Sakai Hoji, saying that our army will camp in Yixian County tonight and is expected to arrive in Chaoyang after ten o'clock tomorrow morning, so Kimura and the others must hold on."
"Hai!"
But Colonel Yamashita never imagined that his order would bring the more than 7,000 men of the 21st Division into danger, and eventually the entire army would be annihilated.
Outside Zaozhuang City, the temporary command post of Ma Desheng's headquarters!
With red eyes, Ma Desheng stared at the battlefield in the distance. Although he could not see clearly at night and could only hear the constant explosions in the distance, he still did not want to return to the wooden bed in the command post to rest.
How significant this battle is to the Jiujiu Army, no one knows better than Ma Desheng!
Because the commander-in-chief temporarily changed his mind and gave up the plan of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers, the Jiujiu Army changed from a spectator to a fighting warrior. Once the brilliant results cannot be achieved, the pressure on the Jiujiu Army will be unprecedentedly huge.
"Whether this battle can be won or not, a very important factor is whether the Japanese army on the east bank of Weishan Lake can be defeated or even completely annihilated.
Because only in this way can the passage between Yimeng Mountain, Xiong'er Mountain and southwestern Shandong be opened, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of reinforcements can be transported to southwestern Shandong.
The key to victory in the Battle of Zaozhuang lies in whether the reinforcements of the 21st Division can be eliminated. After all, there are reinforcements, and that old devil Kimura still has hope in his heart, so he will not give in.
With the stubborn resistance and the fortifications of Zaozhuang City, it will not be easy for them to take Zaozhuang!
If you want to eliminate the reinforcements of the 21st Division, Xu Hu's side is important, but they also have to play their tricks well!
Therefore, after nightfall, Ma Desheng did not let the troops rest, but instead strengthened the fortifications.
In order to create pressure on the Japanese troops in the city, Ma Desheng deliberately brought all the artillery directly under the headquarters to Zaozhuang City, and then launched an artillery bombardment on the Japanese troops in Zaozhuang City.
And the infantry also continued to launch attacks. In short, they tried every means to frighten the Japanese and puppet troops.
Ma Desheng was not only trying to force the Japanese army in the city to rush for reinforcements from the 21st Division, he was also testing the Japanese army to see if there was a chance to seize Zaozhuang City.
But looking at it now, although their attack is sharp, the Japanese army has no intention of giving up Zaozhuang City. This battle must continue!
Dividing line
Lushan is the temporary headquarters of the Ninth Army.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Xu Hu and others quietly looked at the Japanese troops winding down the mountain!
Although it is dark night, there is a faint light tonightThere was moonlight, and when the Japanese army advanced, each man had a torch, and there were many flashlights and car lights, so this huge team was still very conspicuous at night.
Unlike other Japanese attacks, the Japanese troops on this road did not have puppet troops to coordinate operations. They were all Japanese troops.
The main reason is that their mission is not to carry out mopping up operations, and they lose reinforcements. What matters is quality and speed. It would be too slow to bring puppet troops.
Walking at the front was a part of the cavalry, about 500 people in number. Judging from the flags flying in front, it should be an independently organized cavalry unit, not the cavalry under the regiment headquarters.
The infantry followed closely, and the convoy at the end was divided into cars and chariots, with the chariots in front and the cars behind, in an orderly manner.
"However, you can still see sparse torches behind the convoy. It is obvious that those people are Japanese soldiers who have fallen behind, and there seems to be a lot of them.
Xu Hu and others attach great importance to this Japanese reinforcement. After all, the reputation of the 21st Division is not blown out, but actually fought. How many elite troops of the National Army have been killed by this division? Big loss.
Especially since the Japanese army was equipped with so many tanks, if Xu Hu and others had not made preparations long ago, this battle would have been impossible to fight. After all, with these tanks, it would not be difficult if the Japanese army forced a breakout.
It's just that Xu Hu and others didn't see that the Japs soldiers walking on the road were in bad condition. Except for the officers who had war horses to travel with them, everyone looked very ugly, and many of them staggered when walking. , obviously reaching the limit of physical load.
Soon, the Japanese marching team had arrived at the ambush circle of the Jiujiu Army.
At this time, everyone's hearts, including Xu Hu's, were in their throats. No one spoke, and their eyes were fixed on the Japanese army.
After all, this is the most unfavorable terrain for marching, and it is also the most vulnerable place to ambush. Therefore, if the Japanese commander is not stupid enough, he will definitely check the terrain here carefully to avoid getting caught.
Sure enough, the Japanese commander first sent a group of cavalry into the deepest valley below Lushan. From this point of view, the Japanese commander was still very cautious.
Fortunately, Xu Hu and others carefully arranged the ambush position. If it were daytime, some flaws might be revealed, but if they were marching at night, the little devil would definitely not be able to find the problem.
Sure enough, after the little devil's cavalry ran around the valley and found nothing unusual, the large troops began to enter the valley.
Seeing the Japanese vanguard moving slowly and then plunging into the death valley where a dragnet had been laid, Xu Hu and others' hearts finally dropped to their stomachs.
