I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

It stands to reason that this arrangement by the general in the temple is very safe. There is a third reason why he ordered Lieutenant General Isoya to "rest for two or three days" on the spot. , 102th, and 105th divisions, but Lieutenant General Ji Gu couldn't wait at all. He didn't "take a rest for two or three days". After only one day, he couldn't wait to launch a large-scale attack on Xuzhou.

Lieutenant General Jigu has his reasons. He believes that Xuzhou is right in front of him, and soldiers are very fast. If it drags on, wouldn't it give the Chinese army in Xuzhou more time to build fortifications?As for the accident, Lieutenant General Ji Gu didn't think there was any accident. He firmly believed in two things. One is that the Chinese army in Jiawang Town is currently the strongest force in the Fifth Theater, and it is used to resist his 10th Division. It is the strongest troops in the fifth war zone in Jiawang Town, which has been defeated by the 10th Division, and they have completely fled. Otherwise, they would not have been so embarrassed that they had thrown away so many weapons and luggage, even the corpse of a division commander and thousands of soldiers. The wounded soldiers were all left in the town.

Now that the strongest troops in the fifth war zone have been defeated, and Xuzhou is close at hand, if we don't attack the city, when will we wait?In addition, the 10th Division attacked Xuzhou so quickly, and Lieutenant General Jigu's personal emotions were also the reason.

Before the launch of the North China Offensive, Lieutenant General Jigu boasted in front of the generals in the temple, claiming that "my most regrettable thing is that my 10th Division was not dispatched to the Nanjing battlefield" and "any Chinese army in front of the 10th Division is just The ants blocking the way", next, his 10th Division is indeed invincible and invincible, especially the "brilliant record" that a brigade won Jinan and the entire Shandong Province in less than a month. The 10th Division suddenly became a star troop that the Japanese domestic media rushed to report on. Lieutenant General Isotani himself was even more famous and famous all over the world. Some Japanese media even called Lieutenant General Isotani the "contemporary Tadakatsu Honda" (this time) Duo Zhongsheng is "the number one fierce general in the Warring States Period of Japan", known as "Zhang Fei of Japan"), and Emperor Hirohito said, "If every division commander of the Imperial Army can be like General Isoya, why not worry about the great cause of the empire", Hirohito's wife, Empress Kojun, also specially gave Lieutenant General Isoya a silk scarf woven by herself. It is said that the Japanese military headquarters has already made an internal decision. He will serve as the commander of the 1st Army. Originally, Lieutenant General Nishio Hisao, the commander of the 2nd Army, might be promoted to general in the end and replace General Terauchi. However, more and more people believe that the successor of General Terauchi is very likely. It's Lieutenant General Isoya.

These praises, honors, and good names... Lieutenant General Ji Gu was deeply intoxicated by it. Unexpectedly, his 10th Division suffered a big loss in Taierzhuang, which made him almost "wisty to death". Jia Wangzhen suffered so much that he was so ashamed and furious.

In fact, the reason why the Japanese military and Japanese domestic media praised Lieutenant General Isoya, besides Lieutenant General Isoya's "great military exploits", is another very important reason, that is, the Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat on the Nanjing battlefield, which made the Japanese army's morale, Morale, the hearts of the people in Japan, and the belief in victory were greatly affected. Naturally, at this time, the Japanese army urgently needed a war hero who "turned the tide and created miracles."

Although Lieutenant General Isoya gained a lot of limelight because of this, it is clear that his position is very dangerous. He must "victorious in every battle" and must not suffer defeat, because he is already the "symbol of victory" and "glorious example" of the Japanese army. ".

From this, it is not difficult to imagine how passionate Lieutenant General Jigu's desire for war is. Seeing Xuzhou City in front of him, Lieutenant General Jigu's heart is no less than that of a reform-through-labour prisoner who has been released from prison after 20 years in prison. After that, I went directly to the brothel, and then I couldn't wait for the hunger and thirst when I saw naked women.

On August 8, the 1th Division stormed Tongshan Port in the northeast of Xuzhou City. The bloody battle lasted all day and night. The dead officers and soldiers of both sides almost filled the Grand Canal. When night fell, the vanguard of the 10th Division crossed the bloody Grand Canal , officially entered the city of Xuzhou.

"If you don't plant the imperial flag over Li Zongren's headquarters, I, Jigu, will never return!" Standing by the Grand Canal, gazing at the war-torn Xuzhou City, Lieutenant General Jigu gritted his teeth with a cannibal expression on his face.

"Jigu really broke into the city of Xuzhou!" Just less than one kilometer away from Lieutenant General Jigu, several senior generals and officers of the national army were holding up binoculars. It was Li Zongren who said this, with his tone There are both surprises and a bit of tension and anticipation.

"So much money was spent! Finally, this old devil was introduced to Xuzhou City!" Xu Zuyi, chief of staff of the war zone, snorted coldly.

Li Zongren looked at Jiang Weiguo beside him, and then at Xiao Yao beside Jiang Weiguo, with a complicated look on his face: "Jianhao, I finally know why you were able to fight so bravely in Nanjing, you... are really ruthless ah!"

"The country has fallen to this point, we are inferior to the Japanese in almost everything, there is no other way but to fight to the end!" Xiao Yao said calmly, "Mr. Li, fight to the end, these four words are not empty words! "

In order to paralyze and lure the 10th Division, the 177th Division of the National Army was completely used as an abandoned child.

Considering that if the national army is too "ruthless" in Jiawang Town, it is likely that the 10th Division will lose the courage and confidence to continue to go deep alone. Therefore, Jiang Weiguo and Li Zongren decided to abandon Jiawang Town after discussion. Wang Zhen had to act like he was fleeing. If the retreat was done in a leisurely manner, the Japanese army would definitely see a flaw. Therefore, the national army worked hard and spent a lot of money.

According to the mobilization and deployment of Jiang Weiguo and Xiao Yao, the 20th Army led by Tang Enbo and the provisional 2nd Cavalry Division led by Ma Lu withdrew from Jiawang Town without notifying the 177th Division, leaving the 177th Division completely surrounded by the Japanese army. .

The 177th Division surrounded by the Japanese army in Jiawang Town has about 1000 officers and soldiers, more than 1000 of whom are former officers and soldiers of the division, more than [-] are recruits recruited by the division from Xuzhou before the war, and another [-] or so They are officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army.

When Tang Enbo's and Ma Lu's troops were evacuating, Jiang Weiguo also evacuated with the remaining troops of the Nanjing Army. Before the evacuation, he planned to call Li Xingzhong, the commander of the 177th Division, but Xiao Yao stopped him:

"If a general is not killed, how can the Japanese believe it? Let's tell Li Shizuo when it's done!"

Jiang Weiguo couldn't bear it so much, he ignored Xiao Yao's dissuasion, and called Li Xingzhong. Li Xingzhong was silent for a while after listening, and then sighed long: "Forget it, since the country needs me to die for it, I have nothing to say Said, you go!"

Xu Quanzhong, commander of the 177th Brigade of the 529th Division, answered the phone: "Please take all our wounded soldiers away!"

Xiao Yao took the phone in Jiang Weiguo's hand: "You can't take it with you. If you take it away, the Japanese may realize that we are retreating on purpose instead of being defeated by them!"

Xu Quanzhong was filled with grief and indignation, furious: "What are you kidding? Are you throwing the wounded soldiers to the devils to kill?"

Xiao Yao didn't explain, but said firmly: "Yes!"

Xu Quanzhong smashed the phone angrily, then looked at Li Xingzhong, he burst into tears: "Master! This is clearly Jiang Weiguo who is using a knife to kill people! We are from the small Northwest Army, and we have also engaged in the Xi'an Incident. This Jiang Weiguo must hold a grudge. He It is to use the hands of the devils to wipe us out! How can there be such a war? It is simply inhumane!"

Li Xingzhong also burst into tears: "There is no way, this is our destiny as soldiers!"

Xu Quanzhong was startled and angry. He summoned seven or eight regiment and battalion commanders under his command: "The superior has abandoned us! We don't want to die! Let's break through immediately!"

Among the regiment commanders and battalion commanders, more than half of them looked at Xu Quanzhong calmly, and one battalion commander said coldly: "Do you want to disobey orders? The superiors let us die in Jiawang Town, and we will definitely die well." It's worth it! We just need to die here! Why do you think so much?"

Xu Quanzhong looked at the battalion commander in disbelief, and then remembered that the battalion commander was from the Nanjing Army. Half of the officers and soldiers of the 177th Division at this time were officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army, and they were all "abandoned" in Jiawang Town by Jiang Weiguo. They have no regrets at all.

In a kind of involuntary tragedy, the 177th Division fought bloody battles in Jiawang Town until the entire army was annihilated. When the division headquarters began to be attacked by the Japanese army, Li Xingzhong wrote on the wall with the blood of the dead according to Xiao Yao's previous explanation. "Tang Enbo abandoned his allies, fled in battle, was cut into pieces, and died a terrible death" and other words.

In order to paralyze and lure the 10th Division, Jiang Weiguo not only deliberately let the entire army of the 177th Division be annihilated in Jiawang Town, but also deliberately discarded a large number of weapons, ammunition, and supplies in Jiawang Town, and even deliberately discarded [-] troops. Hundreds of wounded soldiers were in Jiawang Town. Some of these wounded soldiers died with the Japanese army, and most of them were massacred or even killed by the red-eyed Japanese army eager for revenge.

When evacuating Jiawang Town, Jiang Weiguo and the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army around him were all in tears, because they heard heart-piercing Chinese wailing and cursing screams in Jiawang Town, where the sun flag had been flying. It was the brutal Japanese army massacring and even killing the wounded soldiers of the national army in the town. More than 500 wounded soldiers were locked up in the military hospital by the Japanese army and set fire to death. The death conditions were extremely tragic. Li Xingzhong and Xu Quanzhong died He was even dismembered by the Japanese army to vent his hatred.

"This is war, this is war..." Jiang Weiguo burst into tears, "What's more, China is a weak country and has to use inhuman methods..."

The national army paid an extremely heavy price, and the 10th Division was lured into Xuzhou City bit by bit, completely becoming a lone army.

Seeing the Japanese army that had broken into the city of Xuzhou, Li Zongren held back the excitement and excitement in his heart: "Okay, Rensuke Isotani is throwing himself into a trap! As long as the back road is cut off, the Tenth Division will really become an army. The turtle in the urn blocked by the national army in the city of Xuzhou, the national army will encircle it with an iron wall, close the door and beat the dog, and it will definitely eat up this stubborn enemy..." He trembled slightly, his eyes gleamed with hot luster, "Yes Win, the national army can win, we can win..."

"Mr. De!" Bai Chongxi suddenly strode over in a hurry, with a solemn expression, "An accident happened in the west of Xuzhou!"

"Jiansheng, what happened?" Li Zongren was taken aback.

"Mr. Bai, what's the matter?" Jiang Weiguo was also surprised.

Bai Chongxi handed over the previous document anxiously: "Half an hour ago, the 14th Regiment of the 28th Brigade of the 50th Division of the Japanese Army, led by Major General Sakai Takashi, the brigade commander, broke through the 27th Army Group in Dingli, northern Huaibei County. The defense line of the town has directly entered Xiao County in the southwest of Xuzhou City, and has already approached Xuzhou City! The regiment has been greatly strengthened, with a total strength of more than 7000 people, equipped with a large number of cars, tanks, heavy artillery, and horses!"

"What's going on!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't help it. "It was hard to lure the 10th Division in. Why did the 50th Regiment suddenly appear? We want to gather and annihilate the 10th Division. Stopping the Japanese troops outside is the top priority." Ah! Who is in charge of the 27th Army? Why don’t you even understand this principle? Let more than 7000 devils into the city at once, and it will be difficult to gather and wipe out the 10th Division!”

Bai Chongxi looked at Jiang Weiguo: "The 27th Group Army is a new Sichuan Army unit half a year ago, and the commander of the Group Army is..." His expression was a little weird, "Yang Sen!"

Jiang Weiguo was taken aback for a moment, and then his scalp went numb: "No way?" He groaned secretly.

Chapter 361 The Decisive Battle in Xuzhou (6)

"The two units that played the most important roles during the Xuzhou battle were the 177th Division and the 17th Division.

The 177th Division resisted the Japanese army on the outskirts of Xuzhou, winning more than half a month of precious time for the mobilization of troops in the theater, the deployment of troops, and the construction of Xuzhou fortifications. The logistics transportation line was strangled to pieces, resulting in heavy losses of weapons, ammunition, and supplies, and forced the Japanese army to mobilize a large number of troops to chase and intercept the division, which greatly relieved the pressure on the national army on the front line in Xuzhou and greatly assisted the front line in Xuzhou. The division has made great contributions, and although it is not in the Xuzhou battlefield, it has played a greater role than any division in the Xuzhou battlefield except the 17th division!" This is Li Zongren's emotion afterwards.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Xuzhou, the general in the temple hardly had a good night's sleep, because there were too many facts that required him to worry about, and there were too many things that made him worry, anxious or angry.

In the Japanese Army of the Four Routes, although the 10th Division on the northern line is advancing steadily, it seems to be in a crisis. The generals in the temple are very worried that Xuzhou is the second and enlarged Taierzhuang. The 10th Division was hit hard in Taierzhuang last time. , This time there may be no return in Xuzhou, so he ordered Lieutenant General Doihara, the head of the 14th Division, to immediately dispatch a reinforced regiment to attack Xuzhou City, and try his best to support and assist the 10th Division; The 7th Division was stubbornly resisted by the Chinese army, and progress was slow, which was very unsatisfactory; the 14th Division on the Western Front fought the best. Not only did it fight with ease, but it also assisted the 10th Division. The lieutenant general sent a report expressing his approval, but because the 14th Division was progressing too fast, the back road was also slightly unstable. Many armies of the Chinese army were trying to outflank the back road; the 9th Division on the southern front also did not let The generals in the temple don't worry, the division has been sluggish in the Huai'an area. The Gui army is blocking it in front, and the Nanjing army's breakout troops are rushing to kill it. It is more than enough to protect itself, but the attack is obviously difficult to sustain.

The general in the temple couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, the base camp has formed three more divisions. Otherwise, the 3th, 10th, 14th, and 7th divisions alone would not be able to defeat Xuzhou, let alone the Chinese army in Xuzhou.

One of the latest worries of the generals in the temple is that many small but well-equipped and extremely destructive troops suddenly appeared in Shandong Province.

The first attack occurred in the early morning of July 7 in Yutai County, east of Weishan Lake in western Luxi.

A supply squadron and an infantry squadron of the 17th Division are escorting more than 50 trucks of ammunition and supplies and are marching on a road in the suburbs of Yutai County. The 14th Wing of the Brigade never expected that this transport team was suddenly ambushed violently. Within half an hour, more than 27 Japanese soldiers were almost completely killed, and only more than 59 escaped and survived. Those cars, ammunition Except for the materials that were destroyed in the exchange of fire or by the Japanese themselves, they were all looted by the ambush troops. Even the military uniforms on the bodies of the killed Japanese soldiers were stripped off by the ambushers.

The second attack happened almost at the same time as the first one, and it was also in the early morning of July 7, near Fei County in southwestern Shandong Province. An infantry squadron and a health team of the 20th Division were heading towards Fei County at that time. There were more than 17 vehicles in the team. There were no weapons, ammunition or supplies in the vehicles. The vehicles were full of wounded soldiers from the 80th Division. Division, commissioned the 10th Division to send the wounded soldiers to the large military hospital set up by the Japanese army in Tai'an. The team has more than 10 infantrymen, more than 17 military doctors and nurses from the 17th Division, and 17 soldiers from the 200th Division. Many wounded soldiers were violently ambushed. Within half an hour, the entire Japanese army was killed. Those Japanese wounded soldiers were slaughtered one by one by the ambushers, and all the usable cars were killed by the ambushers. Taken away, unusable cars were also ambushed to siphon gasoline and remove usable parts.

When the Japanese rescuers rushed there, they only saw car wreckage and naked corpses everywhere, and more than 60 Japanese female nurses trembling with fear. It is estimated that the ambushers were merciful and unwilling to kill women, so they stayed their lives.

In just one week, more than 20 incidents, large and small, happened. The big ones caused the death of at least a few hundred Japanese soldiers, and the small ones caused the death of dozens of Japanese soldiers, and at the same time caused the Japanese army to lose a large amount of supplies. .

Lieutenant General Taiji Hirono, head of the 17th Division, didn't pay much attention to the report when he first received the report. He judged that it was the stragglers of the Chinese army or local bandits who were wreaking havoc or looting supplies. After all, Shandong Province was just occupied by the Japanese army. Not long after, the territory was still very unstable, and there were so many various and chaotic local forces, it was quite normal to add trouble to the Japanese army. Its division actually lost more than 500 people in a week. Although half of them were heavy soldiers, more than 500 people were a full brigade. Among the wounded soldiers lost, the Japanese army lost more than 500 people.

As the head of a division of a lieutenant general with tens of thousands of troops, Lieutenant General Hirono didn't pay much attention to the small loss figures of "dozens of people died here yesterday" and "more than a hundred people died there today", but he didn't expect that these "little people died" "Numbers" accumulated into "big numbers", and even those attackers were so arrogant that they dared to directly attack the county where the Japanese brigade-level troops were stationed.

In the middle of the night on July 7, the 27rd Battalion of the 17rd Regiment of the 53th Division stationed in Yuncheng County, Luxi Province was attacked by "unidentified hostile armed forces whose number is unknown but must be in the thousands and well-equipped." There were not enough troops, and some troops were stationed in several nearby towns, so the brigade in the county had only more than 3 troops. Although they tried their best to resist, they were still killed by the opponent. Was shot dead, if it wasn't for the 500th Division that was ordered to drive from Shanxi Province to Shandong Province to assist the 17th Division in maintaining law and order (it lacked a regiment and stayed in Shanxi Province), the 15st Battalion of the 60th Regiment happened to pass by that night Yuncheng County joined the battle in a hurry, and the enemy army that attacked Yuncheng County retreated quickly because the enemy's situation was unknown, otherwise, Yuncheng County would have been almost captured by this attacking force.

After receiving the report, Lieutenant General Hirono was taken aback. He hurriedly reported the emergency to the general in the temple. The general in the temple was also very surprised. He immediately ordered Lieutenant General Hirono to investigate.

After repeated investigations, Lieutenant General Hirono came to the following conclusions:

First, there are more than ten unidentified Chinese armed forces operating in Shandong Province, each with about a thousand people, and the total number should exceed [-]. Their strength should not be underestimated;

Second, these Chinese armed forces are very well-equipped. Bullets from German-made rifles and machine guns were found from the bodies of the killed imperial army officers and soldiers. Nurses) have proved this point. These Chinese armed forces even have heavy infantry weapons such as light German tanks and infantry guns. From this, it can be judged that these Chinese armed forces are not remnants of the Lu army dispersed by the imperial army, nor are they infiltrated. It was not the CCP guerrillas who entered Shandong Province, but the regular army units in China.

During the battle in Yuncheng County, after the battle, the imperial army collected dozens of enemy corpses that the opponent had no time to take away, wearing the uniforms of the regular Chinese army and equipped with weapons of the regular Chinese army, which further proved this point;

Third, these Chinese armed forces have a large number of cars and horses. They also pay attention to seizing the cars and horses of the imperial army and collecting gasoline for the cars of the imperial army, so they are very mobile;

Fourth, the fighting purpose of these Chinese armed forces does not seem to be to attack the main force of the imperial army head-on, but to attack and intercept the imperial army's logistics convoy, destroy or plunder the imperial army's supplies. Their attack on Yuncheng County is an exception, but , Yuncheng County is hoarding a large number of supplies transported by the imperial army from Hebei Province and Shanxi Province, so the purpose of their attack on Yuncheng County is to loot the supplies;

Fifth, these armed forces in China are very mobile. They adopt the method of hiding in the mountains and forests during the day and marching rapidly at night. They can march hundreds of kilometers in one night. The mountainous and hilly areas in the central and eastern parts of Shandong Province are very suitable. They move.

After reading the report sent by Lieutenant General Hirono, the general in the temple was confused and worried: "Isn't this the "Guerrilla Warfare", the magic weapon of the Chinese Communist Army? Strange! The regular army of the Chinese government has always advocated the battle of large corps and the decisive battle of the main force. Also engaged in this guerrilla warfare? More than 1 officers and soldiers equipped with German weapons are completely a German weapon division. Why didn’t the Chinese army put this division into the frontal battlefield in Xuzhou? But put it in the rear to fight guerrilla warfare. Isn’t it putting the cart before the horse? The CCP army is so poor that they don’t have the capital to fight large corps, so they have to engage in guerrilla warfare. Why does the regular Chinese army do this? This German army is definitely not Li Zongren’s, but Chiang Kai-shek’s. What is Chiang Kai-shek’s idea?” The general in the temple put down the report, he felt a stuffy breath in his chest, unable to swallow or spit it out, he closed his eyes angrily, and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Weiguo allowed the 17th Division to sneak into Shandong Province in pieces. It was indeed a guerrilla warfare, but it was not the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army with millet and rifles, but a guerrilla warfare of tanks and artillery. In fact, this was a kind of guerrilla warfare. mobile warfare.

The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army of the 17th Division and the cavalrymen of the Majia Army who fought together did not disappoint Jiang Weiguo's great trust and trust, and soon killed the Japanese army.

Shandong Province has a total area of ​​15 square kilometers, a total population of 3700 million, and 107 counties in the province. The Japanese troops stationed here are only the 17th and 15th Divisions, and both divisions are not full. There were only about 4 Japanese troops in Shandong Province, and more than half of them were stationed in big cities such as Jinan, Qingdao, Linyi, and Weifang, as well as on both sides of the communication lines. The "population density" of the Japanese troops in most areas was almost zero, which made the 17th Division The territory of Shandong Province was like a dragon entering the water, and the effect of mobile warfare was immediate, and one major victory after another was quickly achieved.

On the night of July 7, the railway near Qufu County was blown up by officers and soldiers of the 29th Division with explosives, causing three trains full of Japanese soldiers to derail one after another. More than 17 Japanese soldiers were killed or injured in the train derailment incident;

On the night of July 7, Yishui County in central and southern Shandong was captured by two battalions of the 30th Division. The officers and soldiers who entered the county not only killed and injured more than 17 Japanese soldiers, but also took away a large number of Japanese weapons, ammunition, gasoline, cars, Medicine, food, and burned a wounded Japanese hospital in the county, causing more than 500 wounded Japanese soldiers to be burned alive;

On the evening of July 7, the two brigades of the 31st Regiment of the 17th Division searched and suppressed a battalion of the 81th Division in the northern part of Yimeng Mountain. Three battalions rushed to help the battle from different places, and four battalions fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for two days and two nights in the mountains and forests, killing and wounding more than 17 Japanese soldiers and killing a captain.

This battle proved to the Japanese that the 17th Division not only knew how to fight guerrilla warfare, but also had the ability to go head-to-head with the Japanese brigade-level troops.

The biggest "play" of the 17th Division was the raid on Zhucheng County. Zhang Yun, the commander of the 171st regiment of the division, was a fanatical radical among the officers of the Ning Faction. He was deeply influenced by Jiang Weiguo's "fearless" spirit. He was not afraid of the Japanese army. He was seriously injured in the Battle of Dashengguan and went to Wuhan to recuperate. Before he fully recovered, he eagerly returned to the team to continue fighting. He was transferred to the 17th Division and served as the commander of the 171st Regiment.

On the night of August 8, the 1th Division received a secret report from the Qingdao Group of the Maritime Statistics Bureau. A Japanese transport fleet arrived in Qingdao two days ago and unloaded a very large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies. It is conservatively estimated to exceed 17 tons. , ready to be transported to the front line of Xuzhou, about half of which has been transported to Zhucheng County, more than 50 kilometers due west of Qingdao, waiting for train transportation, and the quantity is not less than [-] tons.

After knowing this information, Zhang Yun was overjoyed, and immediately applied to the division commander Zhao Shoushan to lead troops to raid Zhucheng County, because his 171st regiment was in the mountain forest in the eastern part of Yimeng Mountain, which is very close to Zhucheng County.

Zhao Shoushan knew that he was only the nominal commander of the 17th Division at this time. After all, these elite soldiers under his command belonged to Jiang Weiguo, but he still worked hard to perform his duties as a division commander. He replied to Zhang Yun: "It's too dangerous! According to intelligence, Zhucheng The Japanese army in the county has two brigades, including an infantry brigade and a heavy brigade, and Zhucheng County is too close to Qingdao City. There are no less than 5000 Japanese troops in Qingdao City (most of them are marines of the Japanese Navy). It is very difficult for you to succeed. , even if you succeed, it is very easy to go and never return!"

Zhang Yunman didn't care: "Exchanging my regiment for [-] tons of supplies for the Japanese army, I made a lot of money! Why not do such a lucrative business?"

Zhao Shoushan was speechless. He understood the combat style of the Nanjing Army: as long as they could inflict maximum damage on the Japanese army, they would do everything they could. outlaws.

After careful and sufficient preparations, on August 8, Zhang Yun led more than 2 veterans of the Nanjing Army and more than 3000 cavalry of the Majia Army in his regiment, and quickly attacked from the eastern part of Yimeng Mountain in the middle of the night. The horses traveled more than 1000 kilometers in three hours and appeared in the suburbs of Zhucheng County like lightning.

Before the operation, Zhang Yun sent people to blow up the railways outside Zhucheng County like twists and turns, preventing the Japanese trains from entering Zhucheng County, and then making the weapons, ammunition and supplies hoarded by the Japanese army in Zhucheng County stay in the county.

Before the siege, the special forces led by Hou Fangzhou, the deputy commander of the Special Operations Battalion of the 77th Division, and the surrendered Taiwanese Japanese soldiers led by Lu Xinrong, the commander of the 417th Special Operations Battalion, were mixed into a fake Japanese army. While singing Japanese songs, they swaggered to the gate of Zhucheng County, and the Japanese soldiers guarding the checkpoint and the city gate had no doubts.

With the roar of Hou Fangzhou and Lu Xinrong, the special soldiers and the officers and soldiers of the special warfare battalion showed their true colors together. They were caught off guard by the Japanese army and killed the Japanese army with blood spattering three feet, easily opening the passage into the city.

After seeing the green signal flares fired by Hou Fangzhou and Lu Xinrong, which represented success, Zhang Yun led the infantry and cavalry to rush in, quickly killed the Japanese army, and seized the Japanese warehouse in the county.

There were more than a dozen large and small warehouses, only four of which were set on fire by the Japanese army themselves, and the rest fell into Zhang Yun's hands basically intact.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Shoushan, who was anxiously waiting for the news in Yimeng Mountain, received a telegram from Zhang Yun. The content of the telegram made Zhao Shoushan's eyes almost roll out of his eye sockets: "Reporter, our department has won a big victory!" , has invaded Zhucheng County, and controlled thirteen Japanese warehouses. The loot is extremely rich, and the number is so large that it is difficult to count. It is conservatively estimated that there are about 10 rifles, about 50 machine guns, and more than 80 mortars and grenades. Four hundred guns, about one hundred infantry guns and mountain guns, more than 400 tanks, more than 500 armored vehicles, more than [-] vehicles, more than [-] rounds of artillery shells, countless bullets, preliminary estimates exceed [-] million rounds, and more than [-] grenades Two thousand boxes, hundreds of tons of medicine, and more than five thousand tons of gasoline!"

"My God!" Zhao Shoushan couldn't believe it at all. He felt that this was simply unbelievable, but he had no time to think about it, and hurriedly called Zhang Yun back, "Retreat quickly! The large Japanese army in Qingdao must have rushed towards Zhucheng. Already!"

Zhang Yun sent a telegram again: "I can't retreat quickly, I have to move things, I don't want to blow up!"

In Zhucheng County, Zhang Yun was ecstatic at first, and then he was so anxious that he had a headache. He was reluctant to blow up so many spoils at once. After all, the troops urgently needed these things, but he couldn’t take them away. The masses move away together!"

"That's right!" Zhang Yun slapped his thigh, and then sent officers and soldiers to mobilize the masses in the county.

In the county seat, the officers and soldiers shouted: "People of Zhucheng County! We are the national army! We are about to retreat, but we can't take away the captured devils. If you are willing to go with us and fight the devils, please join us , hurry up and help move things!"

Zhucheng County has a population of about 30, and the county seat has a population of about [-]. Although most of the common people have a simple patriotic spirit, the common people are also worried because the national army that took over Zhucheng County in less than half an hour will soon abandon Zhucheng County. , if I help them, I can go with them, but what about my family?Under such worries, not many people signed up, but there were still many. There are still more than [-] desperate people who decided to go with the army to help the army carry the captured spoils.

After a busy half a day, because the Japanese army in Qingdao had arrived, the officers and soldiers withdrew while fighting to cover the civilians carrying the loot to Yimeng Mountain.
