    Just when the security department made a major breakthrough in Russia and the Northern Expeditionary Army's Left Army entered the Shanxi area to fight, a very fierce debate occurred within the Northern Expeditionary Army on the Shandong battlefield. This debate was unprecedented. Bai Chongxi and Jiang Baili were fighting for the first time.  Major disagreements emerged.  "Jiansheng, if you do this, we will have a big problem. Have you considered the political impact and risks?" Jiang Baili was just shocked by Bai Chongxi's plan.  Lao Bai is Lao Bai, his ideas are really wild and unconstrained, and the original battle plan has been completely rejected by him.  According to the original plan, the Youth Army used Jinan, a place that the Japanese army must attack, to concentrate its superior forces on a defensive operation and strive to consume the Japanese army's effective strength to the greatest extent.  But when Wuhan decided to liquidate it all at once, Bai Chongxi quickly rejected the original plan.  It was replaced by a bolder and more terrifying plan, at least Jiang Baili thought so.  According to Bai Chongxi¡¯s strategic thinking, the original Jinan defense war eventually turned into a siege and annihilation war.  Specifically, Bai Chongxi planned to use Zhang Zizhong's First Division as bait to continuously attract the main force of the Japanese army to Jinan, and then pretend to be defeated and throw the big bait of Jinan to the Japanese army.  As soon as the Japanese army entered Jinan, the various departments of the Northern Expeditionary Army immediately carried out encirclement operations against them, cut off their lines of communication, and controlled the key terrain around Jinan. The next step was to naturally starve them to death and then eliminate them.  Having recognized this point, Bai Chongxi did not waver in response to Jiang Baili's doubts: "What political impact can losing a Jinan have? Our final annihilation of the Japanese army is the main goal of this war. I believe that the commander-in-chief is  You know, as long as the answer sheet we hand over in the end satisfies him, he won¡¯t care about the minor details before. " Jiang Baili knows that Bai Chongxi is essentially a stubborn person, and he usually doesn¡¯t look back on things he has set his sights on.  He sighed and said: "What about the people of Jinan? There are hundreds of thousands of them." "All of them were moved. The city was fortified and clear. At the same time, our army began to build defensive positions in the west and south of Jinan, and the artillery school  Fixed shooting elements. In addition, the armored forces and the air force are on standby. I guess the Japanese army will not be stupid enough to send all three divisions into Jinan even if they are fooled by Zhang Zizhong. The logistics support line must be focused on defense. But they are too  I'm so arrogant. There are three divisions and such a long communication line. Even if I don't show my special skills, Sun Meiyao's gang of bandits alone can give them a drink. I have never encountered such a fool in all my years of leading troops.  "Opponent." Jiang Baili shook his head in disapproval and said, "Don't think they are easy to deal with. Even if the Japanese army makes a strategic mistake, we may not be able to gain any advantage at the tactical level. The only one who will suffer accidentally is Jiansheng.  Defensive warfare and siege warfare are two completely different tactics. You have to think carefully. The number of casualties alone is very different. "Bai Chongxi said disdainfully: "How many people can die in a war?  What does it mean to be an individual?" "You" Jiang Baili was choked and speechless. He suddenly remembered what kind of person Bai Chongxi was.  Along the way from the Republic of China, Bai Chongxi, who holds the title of the first general of the Youth Army, has at his feet the bones of soldiers from both sides. This is a guy who will do whatever it takes to win.  The upper management reached a consensus on the strategic decision-making, and the order conveyed to Zhang Zizhong was much clearer, just two words "lure the enemy."  This is easier said than done to lure the enemy. I don¡¯t believe it. After all, the Youth Army is famous. If you collapse at the first touch, the Japanese commander will probably give up the pursuit.  Likewise, it's not good to be too fierce. If you act too violently and destroy the young minds of the Imperial Army, the consequences will be equally disastrous.  If the Japanese all retreat to Qingdao and cannot escape due to the navy's superior firepower, it will be enough to give the entire youth army a headache.  Therefore, luring enemies is really a technical job, and not everyone can play it well.  Zhang Zizhong was obviously not as loyal and honest as he appeared. He had already drawn up a whole set of plans to lure the enemy. This plan was absolutely unprecedented, so much so that it aroused Zhang Zizhong's subordinates to marvel as soon as it was thrown out.  However, Zhang Zizhong had already established absolute prestige in the entire First Division through a series of military exploits, so although everyone seriously did not understand his orders, they still chose to carry them out to the letter.  Honjo Shigeru's division, as the arrowhead of the entire Japanese army, rushed towards Linzi without hesitation. On November 19, the leading troops of China and Japan had an encounter. The battle only lasted fifteen minutes.  The ** team took the initiative to withdraw and the battle ended.  A total of 21 Japanese soldiers were killed and 35 wounded.  What shocked Honjo Shige was that the Chinese soldiers did not leave even a single body behind, indicating how leisurely their retreat was.  In the following two days, the Chinese and Japanese armies fought eleven times, without exception.The Japanese army ended up victorious, but the casualties were also increasing. In the largest battle, the Japanese casualties reached more than 120 people.  The only thing that pleased Honjo Shige was that although the Chinese army fought very tenaciously, a large number of corpses began to appear on the battlefield, which showed that the Chinese people had lost their previous calmness.  On November 22, less than five miles away from Linzi, the Chinese and Japanese armies launched a large-scale fierce battle.  During the battle, Zhang Zizhong's First Division used heavy artillery to bombard the Japanese army. One battalion captain and two squadron captains of the Japanese army were accidentally hit and went back to see their Amaterasu.  In this battle, the Japanese casualties directly exceeded 500.  However, the Chinese army obviously had problems with the use of firepower. Soon their infantry defense line was breached, and two French heavy artillery were killed by the Chinese army before they could retreat in time.  On November 23, Honzhuang Shige ordered an attack on Linzi despite the fatigue of the Japanese army from consecutive days of fighting.  However, Zhang Zizhong ordered to hold on and the battle lasted for two full days. The Japanese army took Linzi after paying the price of more than a thousand people.  Zhang Zizhong organized the First Division to continue retreating.  Honjo Shige was still upset about his failure to defeat the No. 1 combat force in South China. He could no longer wait for the two divisions still on the road, and he was determined to continue to pursue them closely.  But they suffered a big loss immediately, because Zhang Zizhong didn't have much appetite for Zhuang Fan's division.  The battle took place in Zhoucun, and this battle actually had to be fought.  In the past five days, due to Zhang Zizhong's orders, the First Division lost territory along the way. The upper-level officers knew that this was to lure the enemy deeper, but the lower-level officers and soldiers did not understand this.  What's even more terrible is that the cultural quality of the officers and soldiers of the First Division is generally higher than that of other divisions, which also makes them less blind in obeying orders from their superiors.  They were very dissatisfied with the continuous retreat. You must know that these guys usually rely on themselves as soldiers of the First Division to see other brother troops using their nostrils. Although the other brother troops hate this, they are helpless.  Yu's first division had outstanding military exploits, so he endured it.  If the First Division loses all the way this time, it will probably be my turn to look at other people's nostrils in the future. Thinking of this, the arrogant officers and soldiers of the First Division gave up. They went to their respective officers one after another and asked for good treatment.  Have a fight with little Japan.  The morale of the army was available, and Zhang Zizhong, who was worried that the lone army of Zhuang Fan would advance rashly and eventually destroy his own overall situation, also decided to deal a heavy blow to this arrogant Japanese division.  Zhoucun, a place not far from Linzi City, became Zhang Zizhong's first choice. He summoned officers above the battalion level to lecture: "We must give the little Japanese a head-on blow here, lest they become too arrogant and destroy our plan to lure the enemy deeper."  Plan. I ask you to put your best foot forward and teach little Japan a lesson they will never forget." When the Miyagi Brigade, the vanguard brigade of the Honjo Shige Regiment, appeared in Zhoucun, they were first encountered.  Then came a salvo of artillery fire of all colors from the 1st Division.  The soldiers of Miyagi's brigade felt fear for the first time since they landed in Shandong. They really couldn't imagine that the firepower of the Chinese army could be so fast and fierce, so fast that they could not bear it.  In this first round of shelling, the entire Miyagi Brigade of 500 Japanese troops immediately suffered more than one-fifth casualties, and the entire march was in chaos.  Immediately after the first division, the 103rd and 104th regiments launched a charge, pounced directly on the road where Miyagi's brigade was located, and beat Miyagi's brigade hard again, who had not yet figured out the situation.  The power of grenades and bayonets has always been advocated by the Japanese army, but this time it was used on the Japanese army without exception.  The Chinese army's grenades rained down hard on the Japanese army as if they were free. Captain Miyagi himself was hit by a grenade in this round of grenades, and was severely thrown by the impact of the explosion.  He shot towards the sky, and when he landed, Miyagi struggled hard and ran towards the Yasukuni Shrine.  The Japanese army was indeed tenacious. After losing their captain, they still tenaciously found all bunkers and fought hard against the incoming squadrons.  They pulled the triggers frantically and tried their best to fire out the bullets in their rifles. When the Chinese soldiers got closer and closer to them, knowing that they were doomed, they would jump up with a roar and bravely fight with bayonets.  The Chinese are desperate.  It's a pity that they are like pebbles thrown into the tide, and they disappear as soon as they stir up a little splash.  The battle only lasted fifteen minutes and ended. The First Division also created a tactical precedent this time. Zhang Zizhong ordered all the newly issued MP18 submachine guns to be used intensively. This tactic later became the offensive and defensive face of the Youth Army.  A common method to gain an advantage over enemy forces.  The Japanese army was the first batch of victims. The effect of the concentrated use of 200 submachine guns was very obvious. Those brave Japanese soldiers were unceremoniously knocked to the ground by submachine guns as soon as they jumped up. In this way, the entire Miyagi Brigade of 500  The officers and soldiers could only die collectively.  .  .
