Thinking of this, Major General Naozō Nakano felt that it was really hard to say whether Commander Gao Kamezo could be rescued. The action of the 108th Division was probably just a gesture. Since the Nanjing government had announced to the world that he had been captured alive
Commander Otaka Kamezo, then they must have a way to transfer Commander Otaka Kamezo. If they pursue blindly, they might fall into the trap of the Jiaodong Group Army.
Major General Nakano Naozan made up his mind that after arriving in Weixian, he would not rush to launch an attack, but first rely on the Jiaoji Railway to set up defensive positions. The fourth brigade commander Lei Dapao, the artillery brigade commander Li Cang, and the cavalry brigade commander Zou Haicheng were Jiang's
Qiang brought out from Shanghai the most war-minded general among his subordinates. When there was no battle, he always rubbed his hands anxiously.
The Central Shandong area is the defense area of the Fourth Brigade. The working situation was initially opened. However, after the Japanese heavy troops pressed into Shandong, the main force of the Jiaodong Group Army went south, and all the Central Shandong base areas fell. Zihedian is located on the east bank of the Zihe River and is a very long history.
village.
In ancient times, boats were inconvenient and the water in the Zihe River was very large. Travelers trudged all the way. Those coming from the west would rest by the Zihe River and wash away the dust; those going east would linger by the Zihe River and let out a few loud sighs. After all, they were coming from the south.
More and more people went north, and later villages were formed in the Zhou Dynasty.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the cemetery of the monarchs of the State of Qi was located in the south of Zihedian Village. During the funeral, Duke Huan of Qi paid homage and held a funeral here, and the village was renamed the "Emperor's Funeral Store". After the Qi State was destroyed by Qin, the old people in the village believed that "the Emperor's Funeral" was the place where the emperor's funeral was held.
The name Zihedian was unlucky, so they simply changed its name to Qinglong Street, and then also called Zihe Street. But after many changes, people felt that everything was just a cloud, and the name Zihedian was more in line with the characteristics of building a village near the river, so they called the village again.
It became a Zihe store.
After the construction of Jiaoji Road, a train station was set up in Zihe Branch to facilitate passenger and freight transportation. The Jiqing Highway also turned a corner here and closely connected with the railway. The two traffic arteries are like lovers leaning on each other.
Generally, it meanders and dances.
Lei Dapao and Li Cang led the 4th Brigade, 10th Regiment, 11th Regiment, New 4th Regiment, Shandong Independent Regiment, Artillery Regiment, and Heavy Machine Gun Battalion all the way north, passing through Zijin Mountain, Niushugang, and Tutou Mountain south of Zihedian.
At the Erwang Tomb in the middle of the road, the investigators reported that the Japanese army column was passing through Zihedian Station.
Lei Dapao raised his telescope and took a look, and saw that the Japanese military column was very majestic, with an armored patrol car guarding it at the front and rear. The first military column was a ticket car, long, with more than a dozen carriages. The second military column was
and the third truck are both trucks for transporting coal, but most of the carriage panels have been put down and turned into flat trucks, with tanks and artillery pulled on them. The wagons without carriage panels must be carrying ammunition or soldiers.
.
Lei Dapao said bitterly: "I'm half an hour late, otherwise I'll mess up the army and the convoy!" Li Cang now knew Lei Dapao very well, and knew that he was transferred to Wang Yizhe from the Shanghai Army Corps.
People from the 28th Regiment also know that after he arrived at the 28th Regiment, he first served as the new battalion commander. During the Daqing battle, he directly asked Wang Yizhe to be the main battalion commander, which attracted Wang Yizhe's attention. From then on, he was promoted from battalion commander to regiment commander and division chief of staff.
, division commander, and then commander of the fourth brigade of the third division after the reorganization of the Jiaodong Group Army. It can be said that the growth process of Jiang Qiang and his army can be seen from Lei Dapao.
Seeing Lei Dapao's regretful look as if he had lost his treasure, Li Cang was not polite and said directly: "Okay, don't be greedy. Our mission is the Japs' car unit. There are people to deal with the Japs on this military column. Three
The main force of the brigade is waiting for them in front! Leave quickly, don't let the Japanese convoy slip away again."
Lei Dapao sighed again: "Not to mention, Chief of Staff Chang's command level is getting higher and higher, and he has timed the action of each unit of the little devil at just the right time. I'm afraid this guy has already calculated that we can't reach him, so he is like this
Deployment. It seems that he has spent a long time with General Tang Juwu and learned a lot. No wonder the chief of staff always assigns him and Chen Yannian to take command of one aspect every time there is a big combat operation."
Li Cang glanced at Lei Dapao, whose expression was unclear: "What, are you envious? Jealous?" Lei Dapao shook his head: "I'm not jealous. I, Lei Dapao, have eaten a few steamed buns and drank a few bowls of soup. I know what I'm doing.
In terms of seniority, I don’t want to say that I can’t compare with you. Even Li Jinglin and the others are older than me. When they and Jiang Qiang were commanders of the Aviation Corps in the Jiaodong Military Region, I was still the company commander and battalion commander.
But, if the commander can let me, Lao Lei, command a few brigades to fight a battle, that would be really fun!"
Li Cang smiled and said: "There will be a chance. The bigger the war is, the stronger the troops will be. After this battle, we will have a stable base and have the conditions for large-scale military expansion. It depends on the commander's ambition.
Calm, that is to fight the Japanese army. How can we do it without strong troops? We are the main brigade. As long as we expand the army, we will definitely be able to take the lead. Maybe, as soon as the Jiaoji Road battle is over, the order to expand the army will be issued soon.
It will be issued."
Lei Dapao looked at Zhu Rui who looked calm, shouted "drive", whipped the horse on the butt, and ran towards the Zihe store. After the Jiaodong Group Army ended the battle in Taierzhuang in Shandong, it could only wait for the opportunity.
The small troops made frequent attacks to carry out cold-gun and cold-gun campaigns, slowly squeezing the Japanese. Lei Dapao was already anxious, but now he was even more anxious. He wanted to curse his mother when he got up in the morning. But after all, he is a senior cadre and has experienced hundreds of battles.
, knowing that the commander was waiting for a fighter plane, it would be in vain no matter how anxious he was.
After the commander issued the order to launch the Jiaoji Road Campaign, Lei Dapao, Chief of Staff Li Cang, and First Regiment Commander Cao Shengli immediately commanded the troops to launch a sudden attack on the enemies of Boshan. After capturing Boshan, Zou Guangzhong and Su Chenghai railway workers
With the cooperation of the sixth detachment, they occupied the Zichuan mining area. Then Zou Guangzhong, Su Chenghai and others were left to hold on to the mining area, mobilize the workers, and lead the main force to move non-stop towards Linzi. Because according to Jiang Qiang's battle plan in Guangrao County, Guangrao County was to be captured
, Fangzi was used as bait, and the 25th Brigade stationed in Zhangqiu, Zhangdian, Zhoucun, and Linzi were mobilized to assist and annihilated them during the movement. After the troops arrived in Linzi, it happened to be daylight, and Lei Canpao ordered all troops to attack the enemy.
The team stayed in hiding for a short rest.
Lei Dapao is impatient, but Chief of Staff Li Cang studied in Germany and served as Chief of Staff and Secretary-General of Wang Yizhe's Northeastern Army. To be honest, in terms of qualifications, Lei Dapao and Li Cang are too far apart. Lei Dapao is the battalion commander.
At that time, Li Cang was already a senior division chief of staff, and he had received formal high-level military education in the Northeast Army. At best, Lei Dapao could serve him as a student or a guard squad leader. But in the war years, we cannot fully pay attention to these, everything
The principle is to win. Lei Dapao's impatience does not mean that he is reckless. If he were reckless, Jiang Qiang would not forcefully promote him to the position of commander of the fourth brigade step by step. He is definitely a strong general with both wisdom and courage.
But in any case, these four brigades are the main force of the Jiaodong Group Army. They not only have to fight, but also undertake the task of building base areas. It is naturally very good to have a chief of staff with seniority, high level and strong ability.
After receiving the combat order from Chang Yuan, Lei Dapao immediately ordered the troops to end their rest and make covert movements towards Linzi County, approaching the city wall. Cao Shengli, the leader of the first regiment, reminded him that the key to this battle was to eliminate the Japanese troops traveling in cars and on foot, because car transportation
The front line is long and the maneuverability is strong. The little devils can easily react and use the cover of cars and armored vehicles to launch fire counterattacks. As for the rear guard group riding the train, it is easy to fight. As long as the train is blown over, they will be a bunch of dead dogs.
The troops rushed up to throw grenades and replenish their guns. Now the Japanese troops in Linzi have moved eastward. At best, there are only a small unit of the Jiaoji Road Guards and some puppet troops in the city, and their combat effectiveness is extremely limited. It is daytime again, and large troops are moving.
It is no longer possible to completely avoid the eyes and ears of the Japs, but the battlefield can be sealed off. Wherever the troops pass, there will be martial law and news will be strictly blocked. As long as the main army of the Japs passes through Linzi, the troops can quickly advance and occupy Linzi City first.
, and then concentrate on encircling and annihilating the Japs' troops in cars on the Jiqing Highway, leaving a regiment to hide in Linzi City, waiting for the Japs' rearguard brigade to arrive.
Lei Dapao said that as long as Linzi City is captured, all concealment will be in vain. The Japanese's communication methods are advanced, and the Japanese rearguard brigade and the car brigade will be alert. They may immediately reinforce Linzi City, or they may hold on on the spot and wait.
For rescue, it is possible to retreat back to Zhoucun. If the Japs are allowed to return to Zhoucun to defend themselves, the battle will be troublesome. Not only will it be easy to destroy the walls of Zhoucun, but they will also have to pay a lot of sacrifices. The Japs' marksmanship is not bad.
If they are allowed to stick to the city and defend calmly, the soldiers will become their targets. Especially once the battle becomes a stalemate, the Japanese planes may fly in to join the battle, and the losses will be even greater. In short, it must be
Fight quickly, divide and destroy the enemy.
Li Cang, who had a handsome face and wore a pair of myopia glasses, listened to Lei Ming and Cao Shengli's words, thought for a while, pointed at the map and said: "This matter is easy to handle. Let's divide our troops and concentrate on the tenth regiment, the eleventh regiment, and the new fourth regiment."
, the troops of the four regiments of the Central Shandong Independent Regiment, the artillery regiment, and the firepower of the heavy machine gun battalion were inserted into Zihedian east of Linzi. This is the intersection of mountainous areas, semi-mountainous areas and plains. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is convenient for hiding troops.
We will encircle and annihilate the Japanese infantry advancing in cars here. The 12th Regiment, Engineer Battalion, Cavalry Battalion, and Guard Battalion will form a westward advance group, and quickly insert into Jinling Station, where we will face the Japanese rearguard group riding in military columns.
.Capture Linzi City with the supplementary regiment, the baggage battalion and the five teams of the third special force formation under the command of our brigade. Although Linzi City is the ancient capital of Qi State, the city is now small in size, and the main force of the Japanese has withdrawn. With the ability of the special force team
, there should be no problem in taking it down.”
Lei Dapao pondered for a long time and said: "We will fight according to the plan of the chief of staff. We have six infantry regiments, four of which are the main regiments, as well as artillery regiments, heavy machine gun battalions, cavalry battalions, engineer battalions, guard battalions, and supply battalions.
The strength of the reconnaissance company and communication company is almost ten times that of the Japanese. There is absolutely no problem in fighting separately. However, there is one thing. After the main force of the brigade annihilates the Japanese infantry advancing in cars, it must quickly turn around and march eastward to support the 12th Regiment in the battle.
Village, Zhangdian and the Japanese troops that we have not noticed can prevent them from reinforcing. In this way, the chief of staff and I will command the main force of the brigade to fight. Peng Hu, commander of the 12th regiment, and Shi Tugen, chief of staff, will command the ambush of the Japanese rear guard brigade.
In the battle, the chief of staff directed the battle to capture Linzi. Do you have any comments?"
Li Cang and Cao Shengli both expressed that they had no objections. Lei Dapao immediately said to Cao Shengli: "Immediately issue a combat order. Each unit will act separately and try to use the terrain to hide the troops. Remember to tell each unit that the attack must be fierce and powerful. The first
I knocked down the little devil in no time, made a quick decision, and quickly withdrew from the battle."
Linzi has a very long history. It is said that both Fuxi and Zhuanxu once lived here. After that, it became the settlement area of Shuangjiu clan, Pugu clan and other tribes. After the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou enfeoffed the chief hero Jiang Shang here and established the Qi State.
The capital was called Yingqiu. Later, the seventh generation Qi Xiangong changed the name of Yingqiu to Linzi because the place was close to the Zi River. Since then, the name Linzi has continued to this day.
"There are 70,000 households in Linzi... On the way to Linzi, the hubs of carriages hit each other, people shouldered each other, the folds formed a curtain, and the folds formed a curtain. They sweated like rain, and their families became prosperous and their ambitions were high."
"Linzi is very rich and prosperous, and its people all play the Yu, the drum and the harp, build, play the harp, fight cocks, play dog games, and play six games."
What flows from the writings of the ancients is their infinite affection for Linzi, the famous eastern city of Qi during the Warring States Period. At that time, Linzi City was composed of two parts. The imperial city was commonly known as the small city, and the outer city was commonly known as the big city. The small city was where the imperial palace was located, and the big city was inhabited by the people.
The city is connected, with a circumference of 21 kilometers, an area of 15 square kilometers, and a total of 13 city gates. The main roads in the city are crisscrossed in a "well" shape, and have a complete water supply and drainage system. There are many shops in the city, and all industries are prosperous.
Not to mention that ordinary people are full of yearning for the prosperous Linzi, even the sage Confucius once came to Linzi to listen to Shao music.
After Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, he divided the world into thirty-six counties and nine hundred and sixty counties. The former capital of Qi became Linzi County. When the Chu and Han Dynasties competed for hegemony, Xiang Xiangyu and Liu Bang used the backward kingship system to defeat each other.
Winning over all forces, Linzi became the royal city of Qi State, which was entrusted by Xiang Yu, and Qi State, which was enfeoffed by Liu Bang. After Empress Lu killed Han Xin, Liu Bang named his son King of Qi and still ruled Linzi. Later, Linzi was excepted.
During the Later Yan Dynasty, the capital was briefly built here, but it never became the imperial capital. It became one of the 1,235 counties in the Tang Dynasty and the 1,591 counties in the Qing Dynasty.
The current Linzi City is located southwest of the ancient Linzi City, across its former Nanguo site. It was built by Daru Huachi Li Zhongming in the late Yuan Dynasty. It is three feet high on a Saturday. The city wall is slightly square, except for the southeast corner. The outer ring is two feet wide.
The rest of the moat and city walls were built with Sanhe soil bonded and rammed. In 1466, the second year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, the county magistrate Jiang Feng built it again and built watchtowers on the four gates, with a seal lintel plaque inlaid with stone, saying "Chaoyang" in the east.
, inlaid with "Ziliu Xianghuo"; in the west, "Tonghua", with "Yuling Yaopan" on it; in the south, "Yingen", with "Niufeng Cuiyu"; in the north, "Wangjing", with
"Mianchi Jindai". In the 7th year of Zhengde, the county magistrate Ma Siam built three more moon cities, but the east gate was missing. Elms and willows were planted outside the city. In the 24th year of Wanli, it was easy to change. In the 16th year of Chongzhen's 16th year, the county magistrate Zou Fengji built six more forts.
It was continuously renovated and strengthened in the Qing Dynasty, and its regulations were all in accordance with the "Guidelines for Questions and Answers on House Genealogy": "Fuzhou and county towns, with government offices, warehouses, Wenchang Pavilion, Kuixing Tower, City God Temple, Guandi Temple and other ancestral halls built inside; and Sheji built outside
It was built according to the standard of "altar, liji, Li altar in the north, wind, cloud, thunder, rain, mountains and rivers altar, flag and temple in the south". The inside of the city is the world where people live in the secular world, and outside the city is the place where people pursue spiritual peace.
world.
It's a pity that the little devils launched a war of aggression, which destroyed both the secular world of people inside the city and the divine world of people outside the city who pursue spiritual peace. No, the Guandi Temple outside the city and the Chenghuang Temple inside the city were both destroyed.
The little devil burned everything to nothing.
At around nine o'clock in the morning in November, just as the tanks of the Japanese 104th Division were crushing Jiaodong Army anti-tank mines at Ershilibao Airport, the army commander of the 25th Brigade, Major General Naozo Nakano, was riding
The column and the accompanying field artillery brigade and the tank squadron arrived at Linzi Station under the escort of two armored patrol vehicles, one in front and one behind.
Perhaps because they were worried about the war on the front line, several trains did not stop at the station after adding water. They blew their whistles and drove out of the station towards Yidu. The stationmaster holding the signal light was puzzled and did not know what today was.
As the days passed, the army kept moving eastward. Could it be that there was going to be another war?
Not long after the military column passed through Linzi Station, sporadic gunfire suddenly occurred near the south gate of Linzi City. The puppet platoon leader stationed at the south gate was extremely alert and immediately blew the whistle and ordered the puppet troops to go up the city wall and prepare.
fighting.
It’s not that the puppet troops are highly vigilant. The key is that the atmosphere today is wrong. First, the imperial army brigade stationed in Linzi shrank urgently last night and withdrew all of them from several strongholds around Linzi to Linzi City. Then came the brigade in the morning.
All the imperial troops boarded the train and headed east. Except for a small group of imperial troops stationed at the station in Linzi County, there was only a pseudo-garrison of more than 200 people and dozens of pseudo-police left in Linzi City.
Too few. Although these puppet troops didn't know what was going on, causing the little devils to desperately mobilize troops to the east, they also knew that the Japanese troops stationed in the county were moving in such a panic that the Eighth Route Army must have started attacking again.
When the puppet soldiers went up to the city wall and took a look, they were immediately happy. It turned out that there were thirty or forty imperial soldiers chasing a group of young girls and young wives with guns drawn. Maybe these women were desperate and actually ran to the foot of Linzi City. Only
I heard the little devil behind chasing me, firing guns and shouting: "Flower girl, flower girl, don't run away, the imperial army will give you a big reward!"
As soon as the puppet soldiers saw it, they knew that the little Japs were arrogant again. However, the puppet soldiers generally did not dare to interfere in the imperial army's business. They all knew the virtues of the little Japs stationed in Luzhong. They were all a bunch of rascals.
Dogs eat people's food and do nothing for them.
Those who had some conscience among the puppet soldiers simply closed their eyes and squatted down to rest. Most of the heartless ones just watched the excitement on the city wall, pointing and poking, laughing and joking.
The group of women ran to the city gate and saw that they had actually arrived at the Japs' lair. They screamed in fright, turned around and ran back. After just a few steps, they almost ran into the Japs' shining bayonets. The women had nothing to do.
Then he ran towards the city gate again, and the bolder ones called the puppet army brothers for help, while the timid ones started to cry.
By this time, these women had become lambs to be slaughtered, and the little devils were no longer in a hurry to chase them. They all had guns on their bodies, and began to reach out to catch people, and kept shouting at the puppet soldiers on the wall to come down.
help.
The puppet platoon leader waved his pistol and shouted, ordering the puppet soldiers to go down the city wall to help the imperial army arrest people. He took the lead and ran down the city wall, ordered the sentry to open the wall at the city gate, and he took the lead and fired at a seventeen or eight-year-old.
The 20-year-old girl rushed towards her. Suddenly, there was a burst of crying at the south gate of Linzi City, and the little devils and traitors joined forces to arrest the defenseless women.
After struggling for a while, they finally managed to hold down all the women one by one. The puppet platoon leader came forward to please the little devil and asked if he needed a rope. The leading Japanese second lieutenant changed his face at this time and caught the puppet platoon leader.
He opened it, and with only one slap and a kick, the puppet platoon leader fell softly to the ground.
Seeing the Second Lieutenant take action, those little devils swarmed up and hit the puppet soldiers on the buttocks with their rifle butts. The puppet soldiers were confused and frightened. They didn't know why they offended the imperial army.
Not daring to say a word, they all squatted on the ground obediently.
This Japanese second lieutenant was naturally disguised as a special force of the Jiaodong Army. His name was Roger, and he was the captain of the fifth team of the third formation of the special forces. He turned out to be a hunter in the Changbai Mountains in the northeast. His whole family died tragically at the hands of the Japanese invaders, and he embarked on the road to revenge.
.Because of his good marksmanship, he annoyed the Japs and was pursued as a key target by the Japs. Unable to stay outside the customs, he sneaked into the customs. By chance, he heard Jiang Qiang's answer to a press conference in Tianjin on a radio station in Peking.
Content, I felt that the Shanghai Army might be a real anti-Japanese force, so I tried to go to Shanghai, preparing to go to Shanghai from the south and join the Shanghai Army. As a result, Jiang Qiang had already fought with the Japs in Tianjin. His extraordinary performance in the Fengtai battle gave him
Shunzi took a fancy to it and was selected to study in the special operations team. Now he has grown into a squad leader.
After cleaning up the puppet troops at the south gate, the group of women who were crying just now stopped crying. They quickly took away the weapons and ammunition from the puppet troops one by one, climbed up the city wall, and began to guard the south gate for the Japanese traitors. Roger
Seeing this group of brigade field hospital nurses dressed in rural women's clothing in central Shandong suddenly transformed into heroic female special forces soldiers, their eyes widened and they grunted in their throats for a long time before turning around to send a signal to notify the follow-up troops.
Enter the city.
After sending the signal, Roger led his team members to climb the city wall, disguised themselves as a Japanese patrol, and headed for the train station. The Jiaodong Army entered Linzi County.
Before Roger reached the train station, Captain Ebi Mingei, commander of the 132nd Regiment of the 25th Brigade, led a brigade of his own, used four armored vehicles to clear the way, took a car, and set off from Zhoucun, hurrying and hurrying.
Arrive in Linzi.
Along the way, the Japanese soldiers stood in the car and swayed in a daze, eating a lot of dust. Seeing the hardship of the long march, a squadron leader asked the senior officer Ebi Mingrong if he could take a rest in Linzi, but the soldiers
Wash your face and drink some water. Unexpectedly, as soon as this suggestion was mentioned, Captain Ebi Mingei was insulted and ridiculed. He directly said that the squadron leader was stupid and was worse than a pig. The main force of the brigade had already passed, how could the convoy dare?
Staying in Linzi? The reason why Your Excellency, the brigade commander, divided the troops into marching by railway and highway is that the two troops can cover and support each other. The main force of the brigade has already passed Linzi, and the distance will become wider as we rest.
The troops will become alone. The Eighth Route Army is so ferocious and cunning. Even the pigs understand what it means to be alone. Your Excellency, the squadron leader, makes such ridiculous suggestions. Isn't it worse than a pig?
The squadron leader who had received the training lowered his head and got into his car. Thinking of no other solution, he began to direct his squadron to sing the Japanese military song, and while singing, gave orders to continue moving forward.
