Northern Henan region, in the frontline headquarters of the North China Front.

Lieutenant General Chief of Staff Hashimoto Gun quickly came to Okamura Neiji, and he reported in detail the combat situation here in Yu and Shandong Provinces.

Under the command of Army Commander Takataro Uchiyama, the three divisions of the 12th Army quickly launched a net-like mopping up operation.

Although the combat troops operating behind enemy lines in Shandong Province were hit by it, they did not suffer heavy casualties.

The commander in charge of the combat troops in Shandong Province adopted a strategy of attacking railways and highways to slow down the advance of the Japs' attacking troops.

At the same time, they gathered their main forces on the outside to carry out guerrilla warfare, while on the inside they adopted the tactics of gradually resisting and containing small groups of troops.

The 12th Army's dragnet raids caused heavy losses to various base areas, but no combat troops were annihilated.

The little devils here still need enough time and troops to achieve results.

Of course, the North China Front Army Headquarters did not pay too much attention to the battle in Shandong Province. After all, the commander of the army, Eitaro Uchiyama, was recommended by Okamura Neiji and Shunroku Hata. They believed that Uchiyama Eitaro had this combat command ability.

"Based on reports from intelligence agencies, it can be determined that those assembled in the mall are the Li Yunlong Security Regiment and the Chu Yunfei Assault Division."

"These two troops can be said to be the most elite troops in the second theater. In previous battles, they have caused us great losses."

"In the battle in the eastern Henan region, they even united with the troops from the first theater area, causing heavy damage to the 14th Army, which led to the failure of our overall combat plan."

"Now these two troops are planning to move towards the Luxi area, but after being attacked by us, they changed their combat direction."

"After a fierce battle, they began to move towards Dangshan City in Anhui Province and Fengcheng area in Suzhou Province!"

"Your Excellency Commander, their purpose is very obvious, they want to attack our weak defense area."

Hashimoto Group and Deputy Chief of Staff Oshirodo Sanji came to the map. They pointed at the locations of Anhui and Su provinces and reported directly.

The General Security Regiment and the Assault Division are obviously going to enter here to fight. This has been surmised by the four division commanders fighting on the front line.

Whether it is the division commander directing operations on the front line or the North China Front Army Headquarters, they all know how dangerous it is for Li Yunlong's troops to enter here.

You must know that both the 15th Division and the 17th Division were drawn from the 15th Army. The 15th Army, which is responsible for the defense of Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province, is now weak.

As long as Li Yunlong's troops enter here, it may cause heavy casualties to the 15th Army, and may even affect the security of the dispatched army headquarters.

Under such circumstances, what they had to do was naturally to assemble heavy troops and launch combat operations.

"Nishihara Itachi and other division commanders suggested that we dispatch aviation forces to bomb them to slow down their advance."

"And they will quickly advance towards the relevant areas, arrive at Dangshan City and Fengcheng in advance, and then launch an attack on Li Yunlong's troops."

"Your Excellency, Commander, Li Yunlong's troops obviously have no intention of starting a decisive battle with us now. They are constantly mobilizing our troops."

"Under such circumstances, if we are constantly mobilized by them, the four divisions will be completely unable to take the initiative in combat."

"I suggest that we should assemble our troops and adopt a strategy of annihilation one by one while they are dispersed to completely eliminate their troops one after another."

After Okamura Neiji heard the report, he came directly to the map.

At this time, Deputy Chief of Staff Sanji Oshiroto pointed at the map and expressed his thoughts.

After hearing Ojoto Sanji's suggestion, Okamura Neji and Hashimoto Gun looked at him.

There were thoughtful expressions on their faces, and then Neji Okamura motioned to Sanji Ojodo to continue.

Ojodo Sanji took a deep breath, picked up the baton, and began to speak in detail about his battle plan.

He was preparing to use the 3rd Tank Division and the 110th Division to advance along the Longhai Railway and quickly pursue them.

The 15th Division and the 17th Division quickly moved towards Dangshan City and quickly took control of Dangshan City.

Once engaged with Li Yunlong's troops, the four divisions immediately dispersed to encircle and annihilate Li Yunlong's troops who appeared in Dangshan City.

After solving Li Yunlong's troops in the Dangshan City area, they quickly advanced to Fengcheng and solved the troops here.

After Okamura Neji and Hashimoto Gun heard this combat proposal, they looked at each other with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Ten minutes later, before they had made a decision, a communications soldier came quickly to make a report.

At present, the Independent Flying Team 65 under the Little Devils Flying Division has dispatched aircraft to conduct detailed investigations on the movements of Li Yunlong's troops.

They discovered something, so they began to report to the North China Front Army's frontline headquarters.

At this time, the second detachment of the General Security Regiment and the attached armored regiment quickly advanced towards Dangshan City.

This force directly bypassed Caijia Town. They were moving very fast and were about to advance to the Dangshan City area.

In addition, the first detachment of the General Security Regiment and the attached artillery regiment immediately advanced towards Shancheng.

The two troops were separated by a certain distance, and Chu Yunfei's assault division advanced along the Longhai Railway towards Dangshan City.

Up to now, the security regiment troops commanded by Li Yunlong have also joined forces with the assault division troops, and they are advancing towards Dangshan City together.

Following the signal corps' report, the relevant staff officers immediately began marking on the map.

Okamura Neiji and others looked at the map with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

After a moment of silence, the North China Front Army's frontline headquarters began to issue combat orders.

They asked the Independent Flying Team 65 to carry out all-out combat operations, focusing on bombing Li Yunlong's troops and Chu Yunfei's troops.

In addition, the Third Tank Division, the 110th Division, the 15th Division, and the 17th Division adopted the Oshido Sanzhi recommendations.

They quickly carried out annihilation operations against the second detachment and assault division troops in the Dangshan City area.

All of a sudden, all the units of the little devils mobilized quickly, and they launched combat operations one after another.

The first to respond was the Little Devils Aviation Unit, which dispatched three squadrons.

A total of thirty-six bombers quickly arrived over the battlefield, and these planes continued to bomb.

Aerial bombs fell on the ground one after another, and deafening explosions sounded.

The General Security Regiment and the marching troops of the Assault Division were affected, and they had to quickly stop their actions and immediately disperse and hide.

After the Japs bombers finished their bombing and left, these troops continued their march.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Li Yunlong and others began to receive reports.

When he learned that the four little Japanese divisions that had met at Longwangmiao Town and Caijia Town were separated again, Li Yunlong quickly discussed with Lu Ming.

After successive battles, they now know the numbers of the relevant troops dispatched by the little devils.

Li Yunlong and Lu Ming have relevant plans and arrangements for these troops.

They first concentrated all their troops to attack the 15th Division and the 17th Division. Whenever they seized the opportunity during the battle, they would immediately attack them.

Even if hundreds of people are killed in one battle, it is still worth fighting.

Under such a situation, Lu Ming proposed to achieve the operational goal of defeating the 15th Division and the 17th Division through continuous accumulation of results.

As for the Third Tank Division, the 110th Division mainly used mobilization and containment and did not engage in a decisive battle with them.

By constantly mobilizing and containing these two divisions, we can complete the combat attack on the 15th Division and the 17th Division!

In a village near the Longhai Railway from the mall to Dangshan City, Li Yunlong and other cadres quickly gathered together.

Operations Officer Li Xiang, Intelligence Officer Wei Bao and others stood in front of the map and introduced in detail the mobilization of the Japs troops.

The forces of the four divisions of the Little Devils were dispersed again, which was naturally a rare opportunity for the Security Corps.

After all, when they are gathered together, they have no chance to make a move.

But the little devils are fighting in a scattered manner, and as long as the security group seizes the opportunity, it can achieve results.

"Time is running out now. If you have suggestions, please put them forward quickly. We need to quickly formulate relevant combat plans."

"The little devils are obviously preparing to launch an encirclement operation. We must jump out before they encircle us."

"Otherwise, once we are surrounded by them, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Li Yunlong looked towards the cadres and said with a serious expression on his face.

Chu Yunfei and Chief of Staff Fang Ligong looked at each other. They had no good solution to the current situation.

After Lu Ming looked at the map and pondered for a while, he directly made a combat suggestion.

"Now the two groups of little Japanese troops are preparing to gather to fight in the Dangshan City area. We can't go to Dangshan City."

"The first team and the second team are gathering in Fengcheng. Let's see how the little devil reacts first."

"The assault division dispersed and hid in various directions, stopping heading to Dangshan City."

"If the little devils concentrate their forces to attack the assault division, then the assault division will use battalions and companies as units and disperse towards Anhui and Henan provinces."

"The General Security Regiment can pass through Fengcheng and quickly advance towards Shandong Province to cooperate with the brother troops here to fight."

Lu Ming pointed at the map and said with a serious expression on his face.

After everyone listened to Lu Ming's combat suggestions, they looked at each other and expressed their support.

Immediately afterwards, combat orders began to be transmitted one after another.

The first detachment and the second detachment quickly assembled towards the Fengcheng area of ​​Jiangsu Province.

The Assault Division troops quickly dispersed and were stationed in different villages and towns, while maintaining contact with each other.

At about 4:30 in the afternoon, the 15th Division and the 17th Division advanced to Dangshan City.

However, after Uchiyama Masafumi and Sakai Yasu arrived here, they did not find any whereabouts of Li Yunlong's troops.
