Chapter 1490 The fifth war zone is full-scale war!
Li Yunlong made a lot of money in Liaocheng, which made the little devils hate him so much.
But there was nothing they could do. The main force went to encircle and annihilate the Dragon Boat Festival. And this time they were very determined.
The lost city can be recaptured, and the lost materials can be found again from the Chinese people. But we must not let the Dragon Boat Festival escape.
At this time, the headquarters of the North China Expeditionary Army also gradually paid attention to the appearance of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Previously, they believed that the reason why the Dragon Boat Festival became famous was because of the waste of the Central China Expeditionary Force, rather than how strong the Dragon Boat Festival was.
But at this time, it seems that they were completely mistaken. With a lone army, they successively severely damaged the Japanese Fifth Division and the 110th Division.
So this time, no matter what, they will capture the Dragon Boat Festival and eliminate it in the Luxi area.
···············
"How far are we from the Supervision Corps?"
On the highway from west to east, Momotaro, who was sitting in the car looking at the map, asked the adjutant sitting in the passenger cab.
The adjutant quickly replied: "Your Excellency, according to the news from the Fifth Division, we should be less than five kilometers away from the Supervision Corps. But they are now fleeing to the west."
Momotaro said: "Flee to the west, that's Feiyun Ridge. Feiyun Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I'm afraid the Dragon Boat Festival will make a fuss here.
To the southeast of Feiyun Ridge is the station of the original First Division of the Puppet Army. This First Division seems to be no longer stationed. The troops are empty. Once the supervision team jumps out from there, the back of the Chaoxian Division will be exposed.
Under the gunpoint of the supervisory team.
In this way, you send electricity to the division commander and ask him to suggest the fourth division to block this hole and prevent the supervision team from breaking out from this direction.
Although, further east is also the area occupied by our Imperial Japanese Army. But the Dragon Boat Festival will enter the Taishan Mountains.
The Taishan Mountains are vast, more than 200 kilometers from east to west, and more than 50 kilometers from north to south. In such a large mountain range, if we want to find an army, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
And this is not an ordinary force, but a force that may bite us hard at any time."
"Hey, I'll send electricity to the division commander right now."
The adjutant took the order and immediately sent electricity to the division commander Sangmu Chongming, an old Japanese soldier.
Kuwaki Takaaki attached great importance to Momotaro's analysis, and he particularly appreciated Momotaro's point of view. He never took any credit. Whenever he had any good suggestions, he would send them to himself first, and then he would forward them to the Second Army Headquarters.
What does this mean? It shows that Momotaro is a good man! He has not forgotten that he, the commander who single-handedly promoted Momotaro.
So I’m afraid everyone will like this kind of young man who repays his kindness, right?
Otherwise, Sangmu Chongming would not strongly recommend Momotaro to be promoted to the rank of major general.
At the same time, the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army also paid great attention to the message relayed by Sangmu Chongming.
They had indeed ignored this point before, thinking that with the cooperation of the 5th Division and the 110th Division, it was absolutely impossible to escape the Dragon Boat Festival. But they did not expect that they would still have the road to Mount Tai.
So the headquarters of the Japanese Second Group Army immediately ordered the Fourth Division to deploy an infantry regiment and quickly set up defenses at the former First Division of the Imperial Alliance Army to cut off the way for the supervision group to enter Mount Tai.
The Fourth Division took active action. An infantry regiment stopped and entered the camp of the First Division of the Imperial Association Army, while the rest of the troops continued south to cooperate with the Chaoxian Division.
At this time, the Chaoxian Division was fighting harder than the Japs. Although the troops suffered heavy casualties, they had successfully advanced the front line for nearly a hundred kilometers.
Prince Li Cheng's proud expression was beyond words, because the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army had issued a commendation order to him and promoted him to the rank of Major General of the Imperial Japanese Army after this battle.
So Li Chengdu was overjoyed and quickly organized his troops to launch a fierce attack on Jining.
Of course, this news also reached the ears of another Chaoxian division in Dongping County, and its brigade commander Zhang Guangsan was also as excited as a chicken blood. Because the prince had been promoted, he also wanted to go further.
So he quickly ordered all the troops to attack and annihilate the enemy forces in the city.
But at this time, Wang Gang and Shen Mogan had already retreated.
This was due to the message sent by the Dragon Boat Festival. When he found that he could not get rid of the Japanese army, he quickly sent a message to the 55th Army and the 56th Army and asked them to withdraw the defenders of Dongping County.
Now that the little devil's attention is focused on Dragon Boat Festival, it is still possible for these two regiments to withdraw from Dongping County.
So Wang Gang discussed with Shen Mogan and suddenly launched a counterattack against the Chaoxian Division. After repelling the Chaoxian Division, they quickly withdrew from the west gate, then marched southwestward into Henan and jumped out of the enemy's encirclement.
Zhang Guangsan got an advantage in vain, discussed with Sakata Chuuji, and determined that this battle was a major defeat of the 55th Army and the 56th Army.
In fact, Zhang Guangsan wanted to say total annihilation, but Sakata Chuuji felt that this was inappropriate, because once the escaped Fifty-fifth Army and Fifty-sixth Army encountered other imperial troops, they would say no Clear.
Moreover, the military merit of defeating the 55th Army and the 56th Army is not small. What's more, Prince Li Cheng was also defeated. If Zhang Guangsan was completely wiped out, wouldn't it be a great achievement?
Zhang Guangsan burst into tears of gratitude, and his admiration for Sakata Chuuji was like a surging river.
So Zhang Guangsan reported this matter to Li Cheng. Li Cheng became even more happy and ordered Zhang Guangsan to go south to cooperate with the imperial army to annihilate the 55th Army.
After Zhang Guangsan received the order, he rushed to the front line overnight to participate in the attack on the 55th Army without even resting his troops.
The pressure on the 55th Army doubled, and it was originally difficult to support it alone. But when Zhang Guangsan's brigade was involved, the consequences could be imagined, and it was almost completely defeated.
At this time, even Li Zhongren had to pay attention. The Japs' offensive was getting more and more fierce, and if the 55th Army and the 56th Army were completely wiped out, then what else could he use to defend Xuzhou?
He immediately ordered the 55th Army, the 56th Army, including the still struggling 12th Army, to retreat in stages to the area of Zaozhuang and Taierzhuang. Li Zhongren was going to fight a small battle with the Japs in Taierzhuang.
He mobilized the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army and entered Taierzhuang in advance, while Tang Enbo's 13th Army was on standby east of Zaozhuang to cover the retreat of the 12th Army. On the eastern front, he and the 12th Army blocked the second Japanese Army. Tenth Division.
The 20th Division of the Japanese Army was transferred from Chaoxian, and its overall strength was average. Perhaps it was because it had stayed in Chaoxian for too long and was used to being pampered. Therefore, its combat effectiveness was not as high as expected. Although it repelled the 12th Army, it was not as high as expected. Didn't take any advantage.
But even so, the air in the fifth theater has become increasingly tense, because just as the battle on the northern front has gradually heated up, the battle on the southern front has also begun. The Central China Expeditionary Force, which was formerly known as Shanghai
The dispatched troops have already launched a fierce attack on Huainan and northern Jiangsu!
