Chapter 615: The strategy of blooming in the center
On a plain, two cavalrymen with distinct colors, one from the south and one from the north, were chasing each other. During this period, gunfire continued, and people on both sides fell off their horses.
"Commander, the little devil's marksmanship on horseback is better than ours. We will suffer a lot if we continue like this!" Qin Fuwen, the political commissar of the cavalry regiment, shouted.
Sun Desheng turned his head, saw the opportunity, and shot down a Japanese cavalryman who was following him.
"Commander, commander, there is a situation in the southeast. It seems that the Japanese cavalry is surrounding us from there!" A soldier from the cavalry regiment scattered around the perimeter hurriedly reported.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
Upon seeing this, Sun Desheng knew that he could not stop fighting, and immediately shouted: "Cavalry regiment, follow my order, all go to the northeast to gather at Qinglong!"
"Drive!" The thunderous sound of horse hooves resounded across the ground.
The Eighth Route Army cavalry seemed to be fleeing, while the Japanese cavalry slowed down their horses.
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army cavalry has fled to the northeast!"
"Youxi!" Kuroshima Morita was overjoyed when he heard this: "The Eighth Route Army cavalry has just been formed, their horsemanship is unfamiliar, and their combat capabilities are far inferior to the imperial army. I ordered the 25th Regiment to encircle from the east to the west. The headquarters will continue to advance from south to north, and the Eighth Route Army will
He is a turtle in a urn, it is impossible to escape!"
"Hi!" the Japanese flag-ordering soldier responded, before riding his horse to a hill and waving the flag.
On the other end, Kojima Jizo sent cavalry to eliminate the Eighth Route Army cavalry wandering around, while the infantry at his headquarters did not continue to reinforce toward Heze County.
Taking advantage of their superior strength, the Japanese army ordered Sun Liangcheng to send troops to blockade Heze and the junction of Dingtao and Dingtao from south to north.
"Sir, Captain Heidao called. Under the pressure of the imperial army, the Eighth Route Army cavalry has fled toward the northeast!" Adjutant Hui reported.
"Youxi!" Kojima Yizang laughed ferociously, turned to Sun Liangcheng and said, "Sun Sang!"
"Hi, Taijun, please give me your orders!" Sun Liangcheng on the side responded.
"The main force of the Eighth Route Army will definitely move between Maji Town, Fangshan Town, Zhangwan Town, and Malinggang. The Imperial Army's central headquarters will rely on the tank squadron to advance eastward, and the appeasement armies in the north and south will follow up in a timely manner.
Annihilate the Eighth Route Army cavalry units and even the main force of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the encirclement!"
"Yes, Taijun, our troops will do our best to cooperate with the imperial army to destroy the Eighth Route Army!" Sun Liangcheng responded, and then Sun Liangcheng looked hesitant: "Taijun, Heze County is being attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Should we send a separate force?
Go to the rescue, Taijun, I am willing to send the 38th Division to rescue the siege of Heze!"
"Baga, didn't you understand my order?" Kojima Yoshizo said sharply.
"Hey!" Sun Liangcheng did not dare to continue his admonishment after hearing this. In fact, Sun Liangcheng's original intention was to get his 38th Division off the battlefield. Reinforcing Heze was just an excuse. Then he only needed to encounter the Eighth Route Army's blockade halfway.
Prevaricate.
Kojima Yoshizo then looked at a man wearing a security uniform behind Sun Liangcheng.
"You are very good, your courage is commendable, the imperial army will not hesitate to reward you!"
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Your Majesty. Please ask the Imperial Army to destroy these Eighth Route Army troops who are causing harm to the countryside. We, the Qinglong Ji Security Team, will do our best to cooperate!" The man nodded and bowed in flattery.
At this time, Kojima Yoshizo believed that rather than being slowed down by the Eighth Route Army or even being ambushed, it would be better to take the opportunity to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so he stopped reinforcing Heze.
In the telegram to Tengyuan Ichiro, he stated that if necessary, he could conserve his strength and evacuate to Zhencheng in the north.
.....
It turned out that not long after the cavalry regiment showed up, a man who claimed to be the captain of the security team of Zhangwan Town took the initiative to find the appeasement army on the periphery.
The visitor reported that before dawn tonight, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops passed through near Zhangwan Town, and they were suspected to have fled from the Eighth Route Army base area to the occupied area.
Kojima Yoshizo was overjoyed when he heard this. He originally suspected that the Eighth Route Army's real intention in attacking Heze was to encircle the point for reinforcements, but he had never discovered the location of the main force of the Eighth Route Army before.
Unexpectedly, some members of the security team discovered traces of the Eighth Route Army unintentionally. After the Japanese army sent people to conduct on-site investigation, they found some traces.
On this occasion, as Kojima Yoshizo said, the cavalry artillery regiment is the reconnaissance force and is at the forefront.
More than 900 Japanese infantrymen carried the artillery of the cavalry artillery regiment and were supplemented by tank squadrons advancing from the center. On the north side were three regiments of the 19th Division of the Pacification Army, and on the south side were three regiments of the 38th Division.
Sun Liangcheng personally led the guard regiment and the fourth regiment of the 19th Division to protect the Japanese brigade headquarters behind the Japanese headquarters.
Two Japanese cavalry regiments searched and advanced from the south and east respectively, intending to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in the encirclement.
On the other hand, most of the Eighth Route Army's First Regiment, Cavalry Regiment and Artillery Regiment were deployed in the Qinglong Group, which the Japanese regarded as an encirclement. The Cavalry Regiment of the Southwest Shandong Army Division served as a decoy to lure the Japanese cavalry into pursuit.
The New Regiment and the local armed forces were on the outside, ready for Japanese raids at any time.
Within the headquarters.
Luo Benzhong held a telegram in his hand and stepped forward and said: "The reconnaissance company came to report that the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops advanced eastward not long ago, and the little Japanese fell into the trap!"
"Great, whether this central flowering tactic can be successful depends on the battle of Qinglongji!" Li Yunlong laughed, and then said impatiently: "Should our new regiment also advance to the east?"
In Zhou Weihan's opinion, fighting is like playing cards. In order to win this game, one must have strong cards, the other must be that the enemy's cards are poor, or the opponent's skills are too bad.
The Japanese army's advance route was not suitable for an ambush, but it did not prevent Zhou Weihan from taking the initiative to lead the Japanese army to Qinglongji, which was suitable for an ambush.
The Southwest Shandong Cavalry Regiment was a decoy. In order to make the Japanese army make up their mind, a comrade lurking in the security team of Zhangwan Town took the initiative to pass information to the Japanese army regardless of his own safety.
"Okay, all troops will be dispatched immediately. At the same time, we will maintain communication with the reconnaissance company at all times and tell Dong Jiang to find out the specific location of the Japanese headquarters as soon as possible!"
"If you hit a snake, you have to hit it seven inches. If you hit the little devil, hit it. Once the little devil is gone, the appeasement army will fall apart!" Zhou Weihan said in a deep voice.
A regiment was set up in a mountain forest near Qinglongji, while the cavalry regiment was hiding in a village not far to the east.
The altitude of the mountain here is not high, but it spans more than 20 miles from east to west, and there is an open land in the south.
Judging from the terrain, this is not an excellent ambush position, but with the mountains and forests as a barrier, equipped with a group of firepower, it is enough to block the Japanese attack.
Jing Dagang, who was lying on the top of the hill, was holding a cigarette in his hand. The telegraph operator from the regiment headquarters bent over and trotted over: "Regiment commander, there is a call from the headquarters. The Japanese army is encircling the inner line. Please prepare our troops!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Dagang put out his cigarette, and then shouted: "Correspondent, please inform all battalions, companies, and artillery units to prepare for battle. The Japs are coming!"
