Since the colors of both sides are not unified, whether it is military defense, social security, or economic and people's livelihood, the Third Detachment and the Chinese Hu Ben Army are in a relatively independent state of "well water does not interfere with river water".

This time, the Japanese devils gathered 300,000 to 400,000 combat troops to launch a long-planned encirclement and annihilation battle against the Chinese Tiger Army. Ma Yaonan and others felt extremely heavy.

Especially the defense zone of the Third Detachment borders the Japanese-occupied area, and as a relatively weak link, they will be the first to bear the brunt once the war begins!

After careful discussion, Ma Yaonan and others decided to defend Zouping County and Changshan County to the end of the bloody battle with the Japanese invaders. At the same time, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the people in the jurisdiction were evacuated to the rear in advance.

Soon, large-scale military mobilization and civilian evacuation in Zouping County and Changshan County quickly began.

At the same time, as the news spreads and large-scale military mobilizations, the atmosphere of the entire Shandong Peninsula has become extremely depressing, without the relaxed and pleasant and laughter of the past.

Especially those refugees who have just started to live on track and their families who have come to join us, they are extremely worried and panicked.

They finally found a paradise of happiness and stability, fearing that everything in front of them would be destroyed by war again, and fearing that they would suffer the tragic fate of destroying their families again.

It’s just that worrying is useless. The Japanese have been planning for a long time and have deep resentment. This time, they will definitely not hit the wall and will not look back!

In the early morning of July 28, Jinan Prefecture.

This time, the Japanese devils gathered 300,000 elite troops to encircle and suppress the Chinese Tiger Army, including the 12th Army and the newly formed 13th Army. In addition, the commander of the North China Front Army, Jun Tada, also dispatched two divisions to participate in the war.

In order to facilitate command and make decisions on the spot, Tada Jun temporarily moved the North China Front Army Command to Jinan Prefecture. Last night, several old Japanese stayed up late to discuss and deduce.

It was not until around midnight that several old Japanese men had a good sleep.

It was just a little dawn, and Tada Jun turned over from the tatami and walked to the balcony in small steps.

As soon as he walked out of the room, a cool fresh air came to his face, which made Tada Jun's spirit suddenly shock.

"Yoxi, what a quiet and comfortable summer morning!"

Tada Jun enjoyed it with his eyes closed for a while, then opened his eyes and looked at the east sky with white fish belly. He said with a slight slightest: "The sky is still bright after all, and the long-awaited moment has finally come."

"Soga!"

As soon as Tada Jun finished speaking, Naosaburo Okabe standing next to him nodded and echoed: "If the Imperial Army can pass this big test, both combat power and confidence will be greatly improved!

The Imperial Japanese Army was invincible and was invincible in every battle.

But if you suffer severe setbacks again, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Kawabian Masazo also had a serious expression and murmured: "This cunning and powerful opponent has become a major concern of the Japanese Empire. If it can be eradicated, it will be worth it no matter how much the price it costs!"

"That's right, this time the Great Japanese Imperial Army is only allowed to win but not lose! As long as the top and bottom are united, even the most powerful enemy cannot stop the progress of the Great Japanese Imperial! Pass the order and proceed according to the original plan!"

A fierce murderous intent flashed in Tada Jun's eyes. This was his first battle as commander of the North China Front Army. He had to win a happy victory no matter what.

Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the base camp and the emperor.

"Hayi!"

Hebashi nodded heavily, then walked back to the room to make a call.

The specific combat plan has been determined after detailed discussion and deduction. At this time, the issuance of combat instructions is just a formality.

In fact, this siege and annihilation battle was destined to be a head-on position war and a tough battle from the beginning, and there were really not many places to play their strategies.

"All gun positions are available! Fire the gun now!"

As soon as the combat order was issued, the Japanese artillery that had already calibrated the shooting of the Yuan Dynasty opened fire and launched a fierce shelling on the first line of defense of the Third Detachment.

"The 10th Squadron takes off immediately and bombs the target Chang'an County!"

"The 83rd Squadron takes off immediately and bombs the target Zouping County!"

Knowing that the Chinese Tiger Army had an extremely powerful air force, the Japanese devils not only configured a large amount of air defense firepower and mobilized the Third Flight Group to participate in the war, but also had a fleet anchored in the Bohai Bay.

The total number of Land Airlines and HNA combat aircraft is as high as more than 600, so the Japanese Air Force is still very confident and does not dare to emerge like before.

The persimmons were picked up and pinched, as Ma Yaonan and others expected, the target of the Japanese attack was not the strong fortress of the Chinese Hu Ben Army, but the relatively weak defense line of the third detachment.

"Not good! The Japanese launched an attack in advance!"

"Quick, hide and enter the anti-cannon hole!"

"Ah, what's the sound?"

"Quick, pass the order and everyone will enter a state of combat!"

However, what Ma Yaonan and others did not expect was that the Japanese devils did not play according to the routine, not the expected August 1, but were three days ahead of schedule.

It is naturally impossible to defend the city and guard the county town. The third detachment built a lot of bunkers and fortifications in villages and small highlands outside the two county towns.

Therefore, the Japanese's first target can only be these periphery bunkers and fortifications.

Hundreds of large and small caliber shells fired at the same time, and the violent explosions continued one after another, breaking the tranquility of the morning.

The outer positions of the third detachment instantly shook the mountains and smoke rolled. Defensive bunkers and fortifications were severely damaged. Many soldiers were bombed and killed in their sleep!

The violent explosion came like thunder, and the officers and soldiers of the third detachment in the rear defense line and the two county towns woke up one after another. Hearing the movement, he didn't know what was going on.

Everyone turned over and got out of bed at the first time, put on their clothes and picked up their weapons and entered a state of fighting.

"Yoxi, the effect is very good! These terrifying eighth routes are dead!"

With intentional calculations but no intentions, after several rounds of artillery fire of the Japanese detachment, a large number of fortresses and fortifications of the Third Detachment were severely damaged. Putting down the telescope, no one could be seen. The Japanese captain Ryosuke Fujimuro nodded with satisfaction.

After the shelling was over, Fujimuro Ryosuke immediately said to the messenger beside him:

"Order Okamoto's brigade to launch an attack on the Turkish Eighth Route Position immediately and capture this small village as quickly as possible."

"Hayi!"

The Japanese commander immediately picked up the phone and shook it.

"Go forward, assault!"

After receiving the order, Okamoto's brigade sent a squadron of Japanese soldiers and, under the cover of five tanks, touched the Chinese position filled with smoke in front.

"Comrades, get into the position quickly and the Japanese are starting to attack!"

"Come on, get ready for the battle!"

"Battlehot aims at the Japanese tank!"

The officers and soldiers of the third detachment soon discovered the Japanese, and they drilled out the anti-aircraft shelves and entered the position, looking for their respective attack targets!
Chapter completed!
