When Wang Mingyu got the news, he got it from the propaganda newspaper. He was very pleased with the achievements made by Li Xianyu and others, but he knew that this time it was not a simple siege. The next one was Li Xianyu and others. At the same time, news came from the Japanese army, the 10th Army of the North China Front, Okamura, Nishiji Okamura, led the 101st Division to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese armed forces in Linyi County. Obviously, the Japanese army was quite angry about Li Xianyu and others capturing Linyi City this time.

Wang Mingyu felt nervous when he learned this news. You must know that Okamura Yanji is different from ordinary Japanese generals. This person is a Chinese expert and has a lot of strategy. This time it seems that Li Xianyu and others have encountered a real opponent. Wang Mingyu immediately called Takayama to ask Li Xianyu and others to take care of retreating at any time. He also told him about the 101st Division of the Japanese Army to encircle them this time, so that they can prepare psychologically in advance. Otherwise, it would be better to be surrounded by the Japanese army.

At present, if the Japanese 101st Division is transferred out of the front line, basically the whole Wuhan will be solid. As long as Wuhan is safe, the Japanese army's plan will have to be postponed. At that time, long-term consumption will be extremely dangerous for the Japanese army. Their comprehensive national strength will not allow them to fight a stalemate with China like this. In other words, the Japanese army is entering a misunderstanding. They have begun to be unable to follow the steps they planned in advance. All this is mainly due to the efforts of Wang Mingyu's troops in Tongcheng.

The Japanese army's theory of victory is actually quite in line with their national conditions. In fact, what they most suited to the national conditions is to only take a corner of the land and then develop steadily. After planning for the next place, for example, after they began to occupy the three northeastern provinces, the rich resources of the three northeastern provinces were enough to make them develop more powerful. However, people were not satisfied with their hearts. The Japanese army's plan was not comparable to that of a small three northeastern provinces. Their goal was to look at the entire East Asia. In fact, even the Southeast countries were their goals.

This situation has led to the current situation. Since the Japanese army's national attack seems to be able to operate effectively, then once about a year later, their various disadvantages will be revealed. At that time, China will enter the stage of rest and recuperation. They will face not only the army of the government, but the tenacious struggle of the entire China. The current situation of China is also a continuous development process. Now many anti-Japanese armed forces have begun to take shape, and the Japanese army currently have almost no time to deal with these things.

This led to the Japanese army paying a bloody price for this in the later period. The fall of Linyi City seemed an accident. In fact, this also indirectly told the Japanese army that as long as the armed forces develop to a certain extent, they may be reborn in the 40 million people in China. How can they kill them all, so they ultimately face the anger of the entire Chinese people. The Japanese army's initial ambition was doomed to their final failure. However, humans died for money and birds died for food, which is also an eternal truth.

Okamura Yanji's 101st Division was moving towards Linyi quickly. Their purpose this time was to completely annihilate the Chinese army that captured Linyi City. In Okamura Yanji's view, no matter who the opponent was, he must destroy them. This atmosphere must not be encouraged. Today, it may be that Linyi will be lost, and tomorrow it may be that any city in the entire North China will be lost. The Japanese army cannot have a lot of time to deal with these people. They have an important mission to complete.

The 101st Division of the Japanese Army is actually the reserve division of the first Japanese division. For example, the 114th Division is actually the reserve division of the 14th Division. The combat power of the reserve division and the real division is naturally not above the same level, but the difference is not very large. Okamura Nishi is naturally confident of destroying this group of anti-Japanese armed forces with unstable factors in the rear. They destroyed Okamura Nishi's plan, which made him very annoyed. The figures who had disdained Okamura Nishi's past did such a shocking thing under their noses.

Okamura Yasuji said to Chief of Staff Major General Kasahara Yukio: It is found that this time the attack on Linyi was an armed force of the Chinese army. I really don’t know if the imperial soldiers guarding Linyi grew up eating shit. It’s really disappointing that even a small local armed force could not be dealt with. I suggest that Commander Suichi Desouchi remove his position as a corps captain who defended Linyi County.

Major General Yukio Kasahara smiled and said: I actually agree with Okamura Jun’s statement. Before that, I have read the recent situation of this army. They not only lost the most urgently needed medicine penicillin in the empire, but also lost the empire’s secret weapon. Recently, they even lost the entire Linyi City. I really don’t know what else can this guy named Takayuki Suzuki do.

Okamura Yasuji: Oh Kasahara Kwan knows this team leader

Major General Kasahara Yukio said: Speaking of which, it is still my fellow villager, but this time I don’t think I will protect him. His actions directly affected the empire’s plans.

Okamura Yasuji said helplessly: This time the loss of Linyi City, General Tsouchi Nakachi was very annoyed, so I came to wipe out them in person, originally this guy Seishiro Itagaki was coming, but I still suppressed it. I thought about it again. Now the attack on the Chinese army Xue Yue's corps has missed the best opportunity. At present, our army is in urgent need of morale. This time, this group of Chinese army provides us with the best platform to improve morale. We cannot miss such an opportunity. I want the Chinese army to pay the price for their behavior with blood.

Looking at Okamura's hideous look, Major General Kasahara Yukio also smiled knowingly and said: Okamura's plan will definitely be realized. If Okamura is the commander, I believe that North China will eventually achieve great prosperity in Greater East Asia in Okamura's hands, hahahaha

Faced with Yukio Kasahara's flattery, Okamura Yanji seemed very useful. Okamura Yanji put away his hideous expression and turned into a gentleman look and said: In fact, General Toichi Teraunuchi is still doing very well at present. Although he said this, he did not agree with it. You must know that Okamura Yanji actually did not agree with that very extreme method. He hoped to implement the policy of peaceful transition and cultural invasion, and he himself was a very strategic person, very patient.

Okamura Yasuji knew that it would be a long process to really take all of China for himself, and it would even take several generations of efforts to face the current attack method of burning, killing, looting, and being the worst. He knew that there was an old saying in China that the best strategy is to attack the heart and the worst strategy is to attack the city. In fact, it is very consistent with his philosophy. He even got inspired from it. He knew that China's civilization is far from comparable to Japan. If it wants to rule this nation, the possibility of being gentle is very low. Any violence is just a temporary pleasure.

You should know that later the Japanese army established the Wang Puppet Government, and Okamura Yanji strongly opposed it. He knew very well that once this was like pushing the entire National Government to the opposite side, he knew that the Empire supported the Wang Puppet Government, wasn’t it just a disguised statement that other governments were not legal, like Chairman Jiang and those of the National Government would not resist vigorously? Establishing a Wang Puppet Government is actually equivalent to the power of the entire China. Although the Empire will have some benefits to a certain extent, from a long-term perspective, this is simply not conducive to the development of the empire.

Major General Yukio Kasahara said to Okamura Yasuji: This time we attack Linyi, a group of mobs of the Chinese army can resist for a few days, haha, in fact, Yukio Kasahara looked down on these informal armed forces, and even the regular troops on the front battlefield were defeated by them, let alone these mobs who just took a gun.

The 101st Division will arrive in Linyi in two days. At this time, the focus of the national battlefield attention has been on Linyi. Although the Wuhan Battle is in progress, there are basically no major wars in the area north of the Yangtze River. The restoration of Linyi has increased the enthusiasm of the whole people for the War of Resistance Against Japan to a certain extent. The two great victories of the 318th Army have made Chairman Jiang gain a lot. The restoration of Linyi has also become a proof that there are all the shadows of Wang Mingyu. However, most people only know that Tongcheng belongs to Wang Mingyu, but not others.

After Okamura Yanji's troops entered Shandong, they basically divided into three groups. Their purpose was to prevent a Chinese army in Linyi City from running away, so as to shock the Chinese who dared to resist the Japanese Empire. I have to say that Okamura Yanji's idea is actually very correct. You must know that the whole country is looking at Linyi now. The success of Linyi is directly related to many local armed forces below. Although everyone knows that to a certain extent, this armed force that seized the Japanese county is not a little stronger than the armed forces in other places, but people always have a thought.

Why did you want the Yimeng Anti-Japanese Independent Regiment to defend Linyi City at the beginning? The reason is that it is of extraordinary significance. The Chairman and others actually saw this level. However, although the Yimeng Anti-Japanese Base Area was their leader in the name, it had to take Wang Mingyu's face into consideration. So they just asked the Yimeng Anti-Japanese Base Area to arrange it on its own. Although it seemed a bit helpless, the actual situation was that this 5,000 anti-Japanese armed forces would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the entire Japanese division.

When Li Xianyu got Wang Mingyu's intelligence, he knew that this time, the Japanese division had more than 20,000 troops besieged Linyi and tried to wipe out them. He really looked down on their nearly five times the gap in the number of people. Linyi must give up this time, but there are several ways to give up. Whether to give up or give up directly after attacking the Japanese army is a question that Li Xianyu has to think about.

This time, Wang Mingyu let Li Xianyu stay here is actually to train Li Xianyu's ability to lead troops alone Li Xianyu has been thinking about how to deal with the crazy counterattack of the Japanese army these days. For this reason, Li Xianyu held a meeting to discuss this matter more than once. Listening to Li Xianyu's situation with the Japanese army, almost everyone looked very serious. After all, this time they really encountered a tough guy.

Li Xianyu said: Comrades, this time our enemies are several times more powerful than ours. Our weapons and equipment are equal to the Japanese army, but the Japanese army also have armored troops, aircraft, cannons and other things we do not have. As for defending the city, I think that even if our army can kill enemies of our own number of enemies, our price is absolutely huge and even very likely that our Yimeng Anti-Japanese Base Area will be destroyed.

The lone wolf said viciously: We are so afraid that we will kill one to protect our capital, kill two to earn one, and ask the Japanese to taste the taste of our independent group, otherwise the Japanese would think we are afraid of them.

The second in command of the former Four Seas Gang also said: Brother Lone Wolf is right. We have thousands of people this time, and we have a geographical advantage. The Japanese want to do something with us and they will also consider it.

Luo Yumin shook his head and said: I don’t agree with the two of you. First of all, there are not only one city gates in Linyi, but four. This means that our troops must be divided into four, because we don’t know which city gate the Japanese army will attack, or the four will attack together, even if the Japanese army is split, they will maintain at least 5,000 troops per city gate. We are not even 1,500, and this battle is not too different. The Party Central Committee instructed us to decide based on the actual situation and to preserve the seeds of revolution.

Liu Lianjie also said: I don’t agree with this time defending the city. I think our ability to restore Linyi has achieved our goal.

Li Xianyu looked at Liu Lianjie deeply and said: Our purpose is not only for this, but our purpose is to delay this group of Japanese troops for a long time. This is how difficult it is to defend the city this time, but I am really unwilling to accept the evacuation of the people in Linyi City.

Luo Yumin said: It is very difficult to evacuate the people in Linyi. Now everyone is excited to live and die with us. If we leave, Luo Yumin's intention is very obvious. If this departure is bound to cause the newly established confidence to collapse in an instant. This is something Luo Yumin doesn't want to see. From an inner perspective, she still hopes that the guardian of the city is also a secret instruction given to her by the Party Central Committee. Of course, the conditions in this are just to try their best to persuade, and there are no rigid requirements.

Li Xianyu frowned. There are more and more problems in this matter. In fact, in Li Xianyu's opinion, leaving is a very correct choice. But now the whole thing has been revealed. In other words, many eyes are looking here, which means that Li Xianyu has changed his original idea. Li Xianyu decided to risk his life to defend the city this time. In fact, this time, the Japanese troops divided into three groups, but they did not head towards the Xicheng Gate of Linyi. If they wanted to detour the Xicheng Gate, they had to detour from the Yimeng Mountains. In this way, there would be more delays in time.

Li Xianyu took a deep breath and said: I don’t know what the situation will be going on with the Japanese attack. I have ordered people to check the movements of the Japanese army in Qiantu. This time, we must defend Linyi City. If we can’t defend, we can only break into the Yimeng Mountains. Now I order, Lone Wolf leads 1,500 people to guard the south city gate, Silver Wolf leads 1,500 people to guard the east city gate. I bring 1,500 people to guard the north city gate. The fortifications on the city gate have almost been completed. Our mission is to delay the Japanese army for a week since the Japanese attack. As for the Xicheng Gate, as for the remaining people in the Xicheng Gate, the remaining people are led by Political Commissar Luo Yumin. Your purpose is to ensure the smooth flow of the Xicheng Gate along the way.

Luo Yumin asked in confusion: If the Japanese army attacked the Xicheng Gate, wouldn't we be surrounded by all sides?

Li Xianyu shook his head and said: If the Japanese army wants to detour the Xicheng Gate, they can only go from the north gate to the east gate and the south gate to reach the Xicheng Gate. If the Japanese army really intends to do this, then we must withdraw from Linyi in advance. There is no room for negotiation. I have ordered people to set up secret sentries along the way. At that time, the Japanese army really has such a trend. We will immediately move to the Yimeng Mountains, otherwise our entire Yimeng Anti-Japanese Independence Regiment will no longer exist.

As Li Xianyu said, Okamura Yanji's purpose is to compress space step by step, first let these people guarding the city exit Linyi City to ensure the safety of Linyi transportation. Then, relying on Linyi as the basis, Okamura Yanji's idea is not wrong, but he did not expect that the consequences of doing so would undoubtedly be to let the tiger return to the mountain and stay in the future.

Okamura Yanji is a regular soldier. So far, they have not had much contact with the guerrillas. They did not know how powerful the guerrillas were, so they made such a decision. After this battle, Okamura Yanji regretted it. If he knew that the final result and his expectations had a great way out, he would have to encircle the entire Linyi City even if he spent more time to eliminate such a big disaster. Unfortunately, there was no regret in the world that he had to take Okamura Yanji, so he could only secretly swallow the bitter fruit he could not swallow.

The 101st Division successfully arrived in the north of Linyi two days later. Okamura Yanji actually asked the troops to station ten miles away from the north gate of Linyi, and then ordered the other two routes to continue to set out. Their targets were the East City Gate and the South City Gate. This time, the Japanese army planned to use their momentum to scare the local troops guarding the city with their momentum. Okamura Yanji had no definite information after several investigations. Their intelligence personnel only learned some of the situation from the newspaper. This is a team affiliated with China, and the specific number is unknown.

Okamura Yasuji originally thought that this unit was about 20,000 people, so this time he brought the troops of a division here to know that it is very difficult to mobilize the troops of a division, but there is no way to do this. Everyone must be careful to do so. Now the Japanese army is scared by the 318th Army, so when they encounter unknown forces, they often focus very much.

Luo Yumin generated power to report to the central government the combat plan this time. After the central government's affirmation, the Yimeng Anti-Japanese Base Area was actually the only local base area unit that could directly contact the central government. This was also one of their honors. The central government was very excited to learn that they were guarding Linyi. Propaganda is naturally inevitable. This is a good opportunity that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The next morning, the weather was still hot and dry, but the atmosphere on the eve of the war was already very strong, as Li Xianyu expected, the Japanese army did not gather at the Xicheng Gate, which invisibly made Li Xianyu and others relieved. After all, their retreat was not locked, in fact, this was related to the fact that Okamura Yanji had very little contact with the guerrillas. They didn't know that defending the city was not what this army wanted. They were willing to cause heavy damage to the Japanese army in the Yimeng Mountains.

Although Okamura Yasuji was confident in encircling this army, his fighting style was still very cautious, and the city gate in Linyi looked not as big as an ordinary city gate. The possibility of the attacking troops was very small. The Japanese artillery fire began to cover the city of Linyi.

Boom Boom Boom Boom As the explosion continued to sound, the entire northern city gate of Linyi was trapped in a sea of ​​fire. Although they also built fortifications to defend against Japanese artillery shells, it was obviously much lower than the 318th Army. In just one round of bombing by the Japanese army, more than a dozen small fortifications collapsed instantly. On the northern city gate, Li Xianyu ordered the troops to start fighting back at the Japanese army. The Japanese artillery fire was still constantly testing the nerves of the independent regiment.

The same is true for the two cities in the southeast. Fortunately, the Japanese artillery fire also costs money. They did not last long. A large group of Japanese troops began to attack the north gate in the direction of the city gate. Li Xianyu asked everyone to aim and shoot, and to exert their usual training, but their usual training is incomparable to the 318th Army. They do not have such powerful aks, do not have sufficient guns and bullets. Although they are abundant now, they can only continuously improve themselves in battle.

A large group of Japanese troops quickly exchanged fire with the Independent Regiment. The weapons of both sides were mainly Japanese 38th bulwarks, and the shooting was very slow. The Japanese army did not have much advantage. The bullets of both sides flew around on their heads from time to time, and the Independent Regiment at the North City Gate also suffered a lot of losses.

The brothers and the Japanese rushed up and fucked them hard, a big man who looked like a company commander, loud and loud.

The machine gunner next to Dadada began to shoot violently in the direction pointed by the big man. Wherever he went, there must be blood splattering everywhere, or dust on the ground.

Not long after, the machine gunner was punched through his head by a bullet that flew over from somewhere. Then another person picked up the one he fell to the ground, continuing the will that the man had not left behind just now. In fact, most of these people had just participated in a battle to attack Linyi County. Most of them fired only one or two shots.

Although these people are soldiers, they are like the kind of children of the world at this moment. Many of these people are adapted from bandits. They are more natural when they see dead people. Therefore, the impact of the soldiers syndrome that Li Xianyu was worried about at the beginning was relatively small on these people.

The fierce attack reached its peak at this moment. The Japanese army just wanted to test the opponent's firepower, but did not expect that a wave of attack would be quickly repelled. Okamura Nishi frowned slightly. It was obviously not the result he wanted, but today it was really just Okamura Nishi's test.

Such a battle is obviously not as fierce as the 318th Army fought. During the last three hours of offense and defense, the Japanese army lost more than 300 people, while the northern city gate lost more than 200 people. The strength of both sides was quite strong and attacked for a long time, and after repelling the Japanese army's three attacks, they defeated the Japanese army's three attacks.

The Japanese army also calmed down a lot, but what made Okamura Yanji wonder was whether the number of Chinese troops here was the more than 20,000 people reported by Takashi Suzuki or the Chinese army was deliberately hiding. Okamura Yanji decided to truce for a long time first and study the Chinese army carefully, because he found that these Chinese troops were more brave than the so-called regular Chinese troops. What was going on? Okamura Yanji shook his head speechlessly.

He naturally couldn't figure it out. The training received by these people was the training mode of the 318th Army, which means that the overall quality of these people was at least not worse than that of the Japanese army. Strictly speaking, it was better than that of the Japanese army. However, their training time was shorter and there was almost no actual combat, which caused the current situation. However, the results achieved by the North City Gate under the command of Li Xianyu were better than the two cities in the southeast. In the attack of the two cities in the southeast, the death toll exceeded 300 in the attack of the Japanese army. This was only half a day of the Japanese army's attack. If they were allowed to persevere for a week

Li Xianyu had to face a reality at this moment. So many Japanese troops were not the kind of big-open and close attack they could resist. Obviously, the losses were too great, so he adjusted his plan. Now it seems that the Japanese attack was just a tentative attack. Next, they could be a large-scale attack. Li Xianyu immediately asked Luo Yumin and others to withdraw from the west gate, and began to deploy defenses along the way, ready to block the Japanese army's cover of the retreat. This is the first thing Li Xianyu had to consider.

Li Xianyu decided to give up the city gate after guarding for one day. This kind of play has too many disadvantages. Their number of people was lost to nearly a thousand people. One division of the Japanese army was naturally a drop in the bucket, but they lost more than one-fifth of the power. Just imagine, if this force is used to deal with the Japanese army in the Yimeng Mountains, the effect will probably be much better. You should know that even the guerrillas that have not been strictly trained have a proportion of death to the Japanese army in such deep mountains and forests.

Seeing such a high mortality rate, Luo Yumin also knew that it would be stupid to persist. She agreed with Li Xianyu's idea. Lone wolf and others also received Li Xianyu's order. The Japanese army unexpectedly did not attack in the afternoon. In this way, Li Xianyu was satisfied. At least they could die fewer people. But Li Xianyu also understood that it would be difficult for ordinary people to survive tomorrow. However, such a battle must be carried out.

Li Xianyu ordered people to strengthen the city defense fortifications. Tomorrow's battle is crucial. Today's death rate of the Japanese army is comparable to that of the independent regiment. This is why the Japanese army will definitely dispatch a lot of troops tomorrow. They must take Linyi. Otherwise, they will be embarrassed. It has been a whole week since Li Xianyu captured Linyi. This period can be said to be the most famous period in Linyi. However, some people are not optimistic about occupying Linyi.

Many military commentators wrote their columns in newspapers. Most of them discussed how long Linyi City can last, and whether it will create miracles will be created. In fact, a week is almost an extreme possibility for these military commentators. However, the Japanese army mobilized a division for five days on the way, and with one day of adjustment, today's attack is exactly one week, but the next day is a deadly day. It is impossible for the Japanese army to consume this kind of battle.

When Okamura Nishi returned to the command center, his face looked a little ugly. I thought that the mobs collapsed when they saw their division coming, but the facts made him very depressed. Not only did this army show no signs of collapse, but it also had a vague determination to compete with them. This was a result that Okamura Nishi would never want to see.

After Okamura Yasuji returned to the command center and listened to the suggestions of the two southeastern city gates, he said: Tomorrow's attack must be done with all its strength, and we must test how many troops the Chinese army has. Judging from the current situation, the Chinese army does not seem to be able to use a lot of troops. Could it be that they have any ideas or are planning something.

Major General Yukio Kasahara said: First of all, according to the information from Takasuki Suzuki, there are 20,000 Chinese troops. We don’t know whether this news is true or not. Maybe there is only 10,000, or maybe even 10,000. Secondly, the combat effectiveness of these Chinese troops is not weak. To be honest, I think it is comparable to the soldiers of the empire. So what method should we take to attack? This is what we need to focus on next. Finally, Linyi City must be taken as soon as possible, otherwise the later the time, the greater the loss of face to the empire.

Okamura Yasuji said: Yes, this time, I must take down Linyi City as soon as possible. I think it must be fierce. I am very dissatisfied with today's battle. I don't know if you are going all out, but one thing I want to make is that I must conquer Linyi tomorrow, otherwise you will feed my horses.

The Japanese generals bowed their heads, and although they knew that Okamura Yanji was talking angry, they still had a bit of a chilling sound.
Chapter completed!
