The Battle of Zhengzhou has just come to an end, but the battle in Dezhou, Shandong has just begun.

"Boom, boom, boom..." With the help of four insiders, the Third Army led by Liang Dashan knocked on Jinan's door without any ceremony.

The people guarding here are just a large group of Japanese troops and an Imperial Army of more than 3,000 people. These are the remnants of Shiyousan and Zhang Zongchang. Under their organization, the Japanese army has an Imperial Army of nearly 20,000 people.

military.

The Japanese could not trust the combat effectiveness and loyalty of these troops, so they could only operate within the areas controlled by the Japanese army. Most of the time, they only accompanied the Japanese army to collect supplies and food from various places.

Liang Dashan and Zhu Haodang, commander of the Third Army, walked slowly into Jinan City. The sound of gunfire on the street continued. But the two of them seemed to be strolling in their own garden.

"Damn it! Haozi, I'll give you another fifteen minutes! If you still can't take down this Jinan city, I'll beat you to death!" Liang Dashan yelled: "This is just more than a hundred women, at most eight hundred with Qian'er.

You have been doing this for so long. Our First Legion has lost all face to you!"

"Yes!!" Zhu Haodang's face turned red. He didn't know whether he was excited or ashamed of being scolded by the commander.

"Don't worry, Commander! I will definitely capture Jinan City for you within ten minutes!" With that said, Zhu Haodang rushed out with the guards around him.

Liang Dashan looked at the vigorous Zhu Haodang and nodded with satisfaction. This kid is the one he values ​​the most. After this battle is over, Liang Dashan is going to recommend him to study in the Advanced Command Department of the National Defense University for another year or two.

.

After he comes out, he will stay by his side for a few years. Maybe he will be a legion commander by then.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp... Boom! Boom! Boom..." Not long after Zhu Haodang rushed out, he heard a violent explosion in Jinan City. Liang Dashan chuckled, knowing that it must be Zhu Haodang who was going crazy.

.

Sure enough, within seven or eight minutes, Zhu Haodang, covered in gunpowder smoke and rushing like a gust of wind, rushed to Liang Dashan and shouted: "Report to the commander! All 1,210 people in the Jinan garrison have been wiped out by me."

"Due to the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army, no prisoners were taken. They were all killed. One Japanese 70mm Type 92 infantry gun, 8 Type 92 7.7mm heavy machine guns, 20 Taisho 11 light machine guns, and 3,000 Type 99 rifles were seized.

More than enough..."

Liang Dashan nodded, Zhu Haodang is still reliable. As for the lack of prisoners...it seems that the National Defense Force has not taken any prisoners since the war with the Japanese army. Regardless of whether the Japanese army surrendered or not, they would still "die in battle"

of.

The difference is whether they "died" during the battle or "died by resisting" after the battle. This combat method has formed the inertia of the National Defense Forces.

As long as they were not ordered to be "captured", the soldiers below would assume that all the Japanese would "die in battle". If not, they would have to die.

"Killed and captured 2,430 puppet soldiers, of which 670 were killed. 1,760 were captured, and the rest dispersed."

"In this battle, 354 of our soldiers died and 840 were injured. Report completed! Commander, please give instructions! Zhu Haodang, Commander of the Second Army and Third Army of the Chinese National Defense Force!"

Liang Dashan nodded with satisfaction, patted Zhu Haodang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Not bad! Send a report to the old man. Just say that we have occupied Jinan."

"Yes!" Zhu Haodang knew that there were only a few people who could make his commander Liang Dashan call him "Old Master". And the one currently in charge of the battle was the commander-in-chief's father--Pao Ye!

In just a few minutes, Tu Sanpao, who was in Dezhou, received a telegram from Liang Dashan. Tu Sanpao laughed and asked the adjutant beside him to order: "Telegram all ministries to launch a general attack on Dezhou immediately!"

"yes!!"

Along with the radio waves, this order was spread to all the troops, including the First and Second Corps, and they immediately launched a general attack on Texas!

"Swish, swish, swish..." This is Li Yannian's Second Artillery Unit. They are firing rockets at the Japanese position in Dezhou City. This is the first attack since the Second Artillery Unit arrived at the Dezhou position.

More than three hundred Storm 75 40-barreled self-propelled rocket launchers fired all the 123mm rockets they carried at Dezhou City. These rockets trailed tail flames and fell like raindrops on the Japanese positions.

"Boom, boom, boom..." There was a loud explosion, and more than 80% of the firepower points of the Japanese army's position, which had been explored for a long time, were directly removed at this moment. The explosion caused by the burning of the gun caused the steel fragments to fly and cut in the air.

Those Japanese soldiers who tried to rely on the fortifications to escape desperately found that their avoidance was of no avail. The coverage area of ​​these rockets was too wide.

"Boom, boom, boom..." This is the blow the Japanese artillery position suffered. Since the war began, this artillery position has had very few opportunities to make a sound. It was moved very diligently in order to avoid being taken over by the National Defense Forces.

It is a pity that their position was still detected by the scouts of the National Defense Force. Without precise artillery bombardment, only the Storm 75 type was required to provide comprehensive fire coverage. These artillery pieces, which were regarded as life by the Japanese army, would become a pile of expensive waste.

iron.

The Second and Fourth armies under the First Army will attack Dezhou City from the outer city of Lingxian. Unlike the Second Army, they did not use the second artillery bombardment.

Instead, he called on his own scouts to detect the situation, and then used the headquarters' heavy artillery to launch artillery attacks on the Japanese troops on the position.

"Buzz buzz..." This is the war eagles of the National Defense Force coming. This time is not a drill but a direct attack. There are thirty Tiger Shark A types coming over, and the Tiger Shark B type that specializes in ground attack

It’s more than eighty!

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...Boom! Boom! Boom..." The areas that had been marked on the Japanese army's position were all bitten by the sharp teeth of the tiger sharks, and the flesh and blood of the Japanese soldiers were sprayed on the position like broken dust.

After attacking their primary target, the Tiger Sharks used the machine guns on their fighter planes after firing their rockets. The machine guns fired wildly at the Japanese positions.

"Boom, boom..." Amidst the roar of machine guns and machine guns, the Japanese soldiers who thought they had escaped were once again torn into pieces of broken corpses.

The massacre was carried out with such determination and indifference that no one in the National Defense Force thought it should be done. Everyone was calmly and calmly carrying out the killing, clearing away the areas where the Japanese troops could pose a threat bit by bit.

The Tiger Sharks on the fighter planes also used their own judgment to send coordinates to the artillery units of the legion below. They told them the locations of some suspicious targets, and then the artillery units affiliated to the legion directly carried out targeted clearing of these suspicious targets.

With the help of fighter planes, these artillery units can easily correct their own coordinates, thereby directly destroying Japanese troops in the threat areas provided by fighter planes.

The artillery bombardment and air strikes lasted for two and a half hours. First came the fire coverage of the Second Artillery Unit. Then came the precision strikes of the Air Force. Finally, the targeted clearing of the heavy artillery units belonging to the regiment.

"Kerala..." Only then did they hear the sound of crushing tracks coming from the position. The remaining Japanese soldiers on the position wailed. They looked at the tiger-style figure faintly exposed in the smoke.

Type B tank!

These steel monsters came with a roar, rushing toward the Japanese positions with the power to crush everything.

"Boom...boom!!" The first thing to sound was the tank gun on the tank. The tank commander and observers were easier to spot the Japanese troops behind the smoke than the Air Force war eagles. They did not hesitate to face any possibility.

Fire from the firepower posing the threat.

"Thud, tug, tug..." Then came the infantry troops of the National Defense Forces. They rushed into the mountain position with light and heavy machine guns, Tiger assault rifles and single-shot Punisher 35mm grenade launchers.

First, they use their light and heavy machine guns to cover the position with fire. Once they encounter any counterattack, the single-shot Punisher 35mm grenade launcher and Tiger B tank will provide powerful fire support and directly destroy the opponent.

"Boom...Boom!!" Two Japanese machine gunners tried to rush to an undamaged Type 92 heavy machine gun to counterattack the Wehrmacht. Unfortunately, they were attacked by the Punisher as soon as they took a step.

These two Japanese soldiers had their calves cut off by shrapnel from 35mm grenades. They kept wailing on the position. They only wailed for a while and then they could no longer make any sound amidst the roar of heavy machine guns...

"Order everyone to break out! Break out immediately!" Shouichi Terauchi looked desperately at the fighting on the battlefield... No! This is simply a massacre! A naked massacre! They are using their own firepower to slaughter the warriors of the Japanese Empire!

Temple Shouyi was filled with sadness, and said desperately to the adjutant beside him: "Order all the divisions to disperse and break out. Take away our military flag and do not fall into the hands of the Chinese..."

A few minutes later, Japan's Tokyo General Staff Headquarters received a farewell message from Juichi Terauchi, commander-in-chief of the Texas North China Front.

"The war in Texas is coming to an end. Xiaozhi is standing on the front line, praying for victory and peace for the empire! However, now that the imperial warriors under Xiaozhi have been exhausted, Xiaozhi is determined to make a desperate move and break his body into pieces to repay the emperor's favor.

, I would like to lead my soldiers and shout long live the Holy Emperor, and I will bid you farewell forever!

A masterpiece written by Touichi Terauchi, commander-in-chief of the North China Front."

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out in the conference room of Juichi Terauchi's headquarters. After all, he did not use caesarean section, which is considered sacred by the Japanese. Instead, he committed suicide with a pistol.

The entire Japanese army had become panicked during the strong attack of the National Defense Forces. In addition, all the members of the organization who had lost Juichi Terauchi could only break out in the directions mentioned by Juichi Terauchi.

Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo of the Japanese Twelfth Army led his two divisions and a cavalry brigade to break out towards Wucheng. Lieutenant General Umezu Yoshijiro of the First Army led the remaining divisions and a *

*The mixed brigade breaks out in the direction of Bianlin.

The remaining troops directly under the front army broke out towards the plain.

"Tell the boys below to be careful! I think the little Japs are going to run away now." Tu Sanpao, who had been tapping his eyes on the table with his eyes closed in the headquarters, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the map behind him.

Qi Muden said in a deep voice.

"What?! Run?! No way?! We beat them so hard some time ago that they didn't run away, why are they running away now?!" Qi Muden was a little surprised, but still asked the adjutant to go down and report the situation to the various ministries.

"They didn't run away some time ago because we didn't launch a general attack. They thought they could wait for support." Gun Ye chuckled and said to Qi Muden: "Now we have all beaten them hard. If they don't run away, they can only say that

The commander is a scumbag!"

"But judging from the Battle of Peking and Tianjin, this commander is no slouch. When he realized that he had lost his strategic advantage, he chose to retreat very simply. He was not sloppy at all. I guess he will do the same this time.

"

The gunman's estimate was quite correct. It's just that the gunman didn't guess that Terauchi Juichi would commit suicide to apologize.

"Assault!!" There were bursts of roars from the position in the direction of Wucheng within the old city defended by the First Army and the Second Army. Countless Japanese cavalry horses charged on the position with "rumbling..."

Voice.

"Thud, tut, tut, dat, dat..." Wan Rongxuan, commander of the 13th Regiment of the 5th Division of the 1st Army and the 2nd Army of the National Defense Force who was guarding the position, personally fired a machine gun at the Japanese cavalry that rushed over.

Many Japanese soldiers were killed by him, but even more were approaching.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The Japanese army took this opportunity and used the few mortars they had managed to save to blast the position of the 13th Regiment.

Dust suddenly flew up on the position, and several men from the National Defense Force directly picked up grenades and stuffed them into the grenade barrels in their hands.

"Boom...Boom!!" bursts of explosions suddenly came from the Japanese cavalry group. These Japanese soldiers were knocked upside down by the bombing. However, they still could not stop their advance.

But I saw countless Japanese troops rushing towards the position crazily as if they were desperate for their lives!

"The Emperor is on board!!" These Japanese soldiers, with blood-red eyes and a white band tied on their foreheads, screamed and charged towards the position.

"I'll fuck your grandma's emperor!" Wan Rongxuan, the leader of the Thirteenth Regiment, has never been a talkative person. He is used to leading his brothers to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

He doesn't like to talk, but the entire Thirteenth Regiment feels that this leader who doesn't like to talk and will definitely curse when he speaks is so reliable. You can see him in any hard work or tiring work.

figure.

You can see him in the most dangerous and difficult places on the battlefield. When retreating, he will always lead the guard platoon to the rear. When charging, he will always lead the guard platoon to the front.
