Pursue eastward.

Suddenly there was a prompt on the empty finger map.

A large number of Japanese heavy weapons are heading south from Tai'an along the Jinpu Railway.

105mm heavy cannon...

tank……

There are also a large number of 75mm mountain guns...

Are the Japanese invaders heading south?

"Report!"

The communications officer arrives.

Handed Zhang Yong a telegram. It was from the 68th Army.

The content is that the Japanese invaders have occupied Yanzhou (city) and are marching towards Zoucheng. The tenth division of the Japanese invaders is in the vanguard.

To be precise, it was the Setani detachment of the Japanese invaders.

This Setani detachment was expanded from the Setani brigade and added a large number of artillery.

Mainly 75mm mountain guns and 90mm mortars.

At the same time, you can also receive support from the 105mm heavy cannon of the 10th Division at any time.

If the heavy cannon is not powerful enough, it can also be supported by an independent field heavy artillery regiment. That is a 150mm howitzer!

In addition, there is a tank regiment with at least fifty tanks supporting it.

However, for the time being, these heavy weapons of the Japanese invaders have not reached Yanzhou.

"It's on!"

"It's on!"

A boiling voice suddenly appeared in Zhang Yong's mind.

What’s on the table this time are all hard dishes!

A Setani detachment is so powerful and has such powerful firepower.

It is indeed very difficult to surround them and annihilate them all. If three divisions come to the table together...

It is very likely to be burst!

"Report!"

The second telegram came again.

Continuing with the report on the Japanese vanguard.

The 68th Army was in Zoucheng to stop the Japanese invaders from moving south and slow down their speed.

At the same time, in Teng County, south of Zoucheng, the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army was ready to continue to block the Japanese invaders.

The slight difference is that this 122nd Division did not arrive in a hurry. Instead, it had been waiting for work.

Not only were all personnel in the division present, but ammunition was also replenished.

At the same time, the fortifications must be excavated at least ten days in advance.

Their goal was not to stop the Japanese invaders, but to create a false impression on them.

The Japanese invaders thought that the national army behind Teng County was not ready yet, so they had to fight hard in Teng County.

In this way, the Japanese invaders will continue to attack fiercely, hoping to break through Teng County.

At that time, the 122nd Division pretended to be defeated and retreated.

The Japanese invaders will swarm southward and then enter a predetermined encirclement.

However, the Japanese invaders entering the encirclement was only the first step. The subsequent battle was the hard part.

The current situation is a bit complicated. The Japanese invaders only have the Seya detachment going south. It is probably for the purpose of exploring a path.

We must intercept the Japanese aggressors in Zoucheng and Teng County and give them a little pain. Only then will the Japanese aggressors behind them continue to attack and then attack southward.

Opening up the Jinpu Railway was the Japanese invaders' predetermined strategic goal. They had to find a way to accomplish it.

Once they encounter strong resistance, they will increase their troops.

The most ideal situation is to mobilize all the Japanese invaders near Jinan, and then the 69th Army will take the opportunity to regain Jinan. Then cut off the Iron Bridge of the Yellow River.

In this way, the three divisions of the Japanese invaders will be caught in a trap.

If the Japanese invaders in the Pingjin area want to go south for reinforcements, they will be intercepted by the natural dangers of the Yellow River. They can only stare and worry.

"Call back."

"yes."

"Content: Order the 68th Army to stop the Japanese invaders in Zoucheng for five days and five nights starting from now. There must be no mistake."

"yes."

The communications staff officer turned and left.

Zhang Yong looked at his watch. Today is March 5th, early spring.

They held off Zoucheng for five days to attract more Japanese invaders. Then they pretended to be defeated and retreated, allowing the Japanese invaders to move south.

Then continue to block the Japanese invaders in Teng County, allowing the Japanese invaders to concentrate their forces relatively.

During the period of blocking the Japanese invaders from moving south, the troops in the rear needed to be mobilized quickly and deployed around Taierzhuang.

Of course, what happened next had nothing to do with Zhang Yong.

His first task was to block the Segu detachment in Zoucheng and then cut off the Japanese invaders' retreat route after they moved south.

Therefore, he will fight on the northern front for some time to come.

"Commander He, the war is coming."

"knew."

He Zhuguo looked very calm.

He doesn't know the complete Plan C yet, but he can vaguely guess a thing or two.

They are all old battlefields. It can definitely be seen that the area around Tai'erzhuang is actually at the bottom of the bag. It can very well knock the Japanese invaders in and then hammer them to death.

Of course, the premise is that the surrounding national troops must be strong enough to prevent the Japanese invaders from breaking through their pockets.

The Japanese invaders can definitely see this. However, they may be very confident in their combat effectiveness and are not afraid of being surrounded.

"Commissioner, are you going to Zoucheng?" He Zhuguo asked.

"No. Let's go to Tai'an." Zhang Yong replied, "Go to the rear of the Japanese invaders."

"Okay." He Zhuguo certainly wanted it.

With Zhang Yong following him, victory in the battle will be easy.

No matter how many Japanese cavalry we encountered, we were never afraid.

"Walk!"

"yes."

The cavalry continued to advance.

Zhang Yong is not worried about the 68th Army on the front line of Zoucheng.

The commander of the 68th Army is Li Xianzhou. This is a purely defensive battle. It is not difficult.

Li Xianzhou faced more than 10,000 Japanese invaders. He himself had more than 20,000 invaders. The Japanese invaders' heavy weapons were still behind!

Near Yanzhou, there were not even Japanese 75mm mountain artillery.

If he couldn't survive even five days, he could go home early and sell sweet potatoes.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

"Ta-ta-ta..."

The sound of horse hooves is rapid, galloping towards the east.

To the east is the Jinpu Railway. There are a large number of heavy weapons of the Japanese invaders.

If part of it can be destroyed, the Japanese invaders from Jinan can definitely be attracted out as soon as possible.

Or they may have created the illusion that the Setani detachment was surrounded. The Japanese invaders from Jinan hurriedly came out to rescue them and then left Jinan.

"Report!"

On the way, I received a telegram from the Fifth War Zone.

No signature.

There is only one simple sentence -
To be continued...
