After receiving the order, Chen Zhengnian and Ma Shan waved their troops towards Jinan. When they arrived at the east gate, they saw that even the Seventh Brigade had entered the city from the east gate. Chen Zhengnian immediately ordered his troops to use the cars left by the First Division outside the city and drive.
Get in the car and go into town to kill the Japanese.
After the Second Division captured the Luokou Bridge, a regiment was left to encircle Luokou Town and defend the enemy in Queshan. Liu Jianli and Zhao Zhengbi personally led the main force of the brigade to rush toward the north gate of Jinan.
By the time the Second Division arrived at the North Gate, the First Division had already entered the city. The entire city of Jinan was full of gunshots, shells, grenades, and explosions of explosive packs, defending the North Gate of Jinan, Haiyan Gate, and the Northwest Gate.
The Japs in Xiaobeimen are already in chaos and are busy deploying troops to reinforce the battle in the city.
When Liu Jianshe saw this situation, he immediately ordered the New Second Regiment and the Supplementary Regiment to detour westward along the city wall to block the escape route of the little Japs. Then he called the commander of the artillery regiment, pointed at Haiyan Gate and said, "I'll give you 10 minutes."
"Concentrate all the artillery fire and blow open the city gate for me!" The artillery regiment commander promised to complete the mission and went to command and deploy.
The Artillery Regiment of the Second Division is responsible for providing fire cover for the entire Rizhao. In addition to 48 field guns, it is also equipped with anti-aircraft artillery batteries, flying thunder artillery battalions, plus the infantry artillery of the Fourth Regiment, the Fifth Regiment, and the Sixth Regiment.
The firepower of the mortars was powerful enough. At this point, the artillery regiment commander was still worried that he could not complete the task within 10 minutes, so he used all the rocket launchers of the three regiments, allowing the soldiers to approach the city wall covertly, set up the rocket launchers, and join in the attack on the North Gate and
Bombardment of the city walls.
Five minutes later, the Artillery Regiment of the Second Division opened fire. Field artillery shells and explosive packets fired from thunder cannons drew arcs and hit the city gates and walls. Anti-aircraft guns and level-firing infantry cannons slammed into the city gates and walls.
City wall. In an instant, the sound of explosions echoed over the north gate of Jinan City like thunder, and the corpse of the little devil fell toward the bottom of the city wall along with the stones and mud on the city wall.
Taking advantage of the cover of the firing of the artillery group, the rocket launcher groups of each regiment jumped into the range. The soldiers quickly set up the rocket launchers and began to focus on one point. The intensive shelling caused the city wall of Jinan's north gate to collapse, leaving gaps everywhere.
Liu Jianshe waved his hand, and the charge horn sounded. The three main regiments and divisional troops of the Second Division, who had been waiting in hiding for so long in Rizhao, were already full of fire, poured into the north gate like a flash flood.
The most depressing thing is the third division.
The artillery regiment of the third division was assigned to Tao Zhuangming for unified command. Originally, according to the battle plan, there was a dedicated artillery group to cooperate with the third division. However, Tao Zhuangming temporarily modified the battle plan and concentrated the artillery group to bomb the north gate. Therefore, when the third division arrived,
When Qilu University was at the South Gate, the artillery group had not yet caught up. Now it was better. The infantry cannons, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns set up by the Japs on the South Gate fired desperately. The Japs stationed at Qilu University received fire cover.
They used fortifications and school buildings to resist desperately, but the troops could not reach the city gate at all.
Seeing this situation, Yun Qichang simply ordered each regiment to organize firepower, shoot at the Japanese troops on the city wall, suppress the Japs, cover the troops' attack, and first eliminate the Japs guarding Qilu University. This would be nothing in peacetime.
The firepower of the regiments of the 3rd Division alone is much stronger than that of the Japanese troops defending the city, and their troops are much stronger than that of the Japs. Even if the Japs stick to the city, Yun Qichang is sure to destroy the Japanese troops and open the city gate. The problem is
The First Division has already entered the city, and Jinan City is already filled with gunfire. If it had been a little later, it is estimated that all the little Japs in the city would have been killed by the First Division. What kind of tradition does Chen Zhengnian and his First Division have?
Chang knew very well. When he met the little Japanese, he was used to eating soup with bones. He wanted them to leave some for other troops, but there was no way!
The mature and prudent Yun Qichang was so anxious that he was so anxious! At this moment, the artillery group accompanying the cavalry traveled westward and passed through the south of the city. Chang Dapao, the chief of staff of the third division, immediately stepped forward to stop them and asked them to stay for a while to help the third division.
The Third Division blasted open the south gate.
The artillery group accompanying the cavalry brigade is centered on the cavalry brigade artillery regiment. This artillery regiment was formed after the annihilation of the 107th Division. It has few combat missions. Since its establishment, it has only eliminated the Japanese Army's 3rd Army at Ershilipu Airport.
I tried my skills in the battle of the 104th Division, but it was still sandwiched between the artillery brigade and the artillery group, which showed no level of skill at all. Fortunately, the cadres were all veteran artillery cadres transferred from the artillery brigade.
It was different. As soon as he heard that the prestigious Third Division was asking for help, he immediately became motivated and asked to join the war and support the Third Division.
In this way, the artillery group traveling with the cavalry wasted 10 minutes of marching time, set up a position outside the South Gate, and began to repair the arrogant South Gate defenders. The artillery shells were exploding, the explosive packs were exploding, and they were shooting at the South Gate just now.
The Japanese soldiers on the south gate wall where ammunition was leaked from the city were suddenly confused. They didn't know what bad things their ancestors had done, which caused them to end up like this: they were dead, and in the end they didn't even get a whole body.
arrive!
The moment the south gate was opened, an attack order was issued in the same year. The regiments of the Third Division rushed in. The Japanese troops who were guarding Qilu University and had been resisting furiously just now were overwhelmed by the frenzy of the Third Division's attack.
Like the waves in the rushing river, it quickly disappeared without a trace. The third division of the Hundred Battles Division entered Jinan from the south!
After the cavalry brigade artillery group completed its mission, there were cheers and laughter on the position. The soldiers happily packed up the artillery and continued to move westward to chase the cavalry brigade. At this point, the main forces of each division of the Jiaodong Group Army had all entered Jinan City.
From the surrounding walls to the streets of the outer city, Jinan City is full of gunfire and shouts of death from the Jiaodong Army. Don’t say that the little devils want to fight in the streets with the Jiaodong Army, they just can’t do it. How big is Jinan City?
Its perimeter wall was only 12 kilometers in circumference. So many elite Jiaodong Army soldiers poured in. Troops were attacking in every street and alley, searching and destroying the remaining enemies.
After completing the bombardment of the east gate of Jinan's inner city, Tao Zhuangming knew that the matter was settled. However, he was an enthusiastic person and liked to help. Just at this time, the headquarters' communication camp put the phone through. Tao Zhuangming picked up the phone and reported to Jiang Qiang:
"Report to the commander: Jinan's city wall is too rough. I just concentrated one bombardment and collapsed the wall between the two completed east gates. Another salvo also destroyed the east gate of the inner city.
Now. All the troops have entered the city. The division commanders and chiefs of staff are all busy catching the Japanese commander. No one reports to you, right? It's better for us, Old Tao, to think of the commander no matter what happens. No, for once
I will report to you as soon as the bombardment is completed. Commander, listen up! We, Old Tao, have led the artillery group into the city. Wherever there are little Japs who are stubbornly resisting, we, Old Tao, will bombard them for the commander!"
Jiang Qiang heard it funny on the phone. After Tao Zhuangming finished speaking, he asked in a gentle voice: "Captain Tao Da, whose father are you?"
Tao Zhuangming quickly stood up and said into the microphone: "Sorry, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, definitely a slip of the tongue! I am my son's father, yes, I am my son's father!" The voice from the microphone was still so gentle: "You
Where is my son? Why didn’t I see him?”
"Report to the commander: My son is in my wife's belly!" "Okay, it's just your ability! We have been married for more than a year, and my wife's belly is still as flat as an airport. It's like a cannon!"
"I just got married, and my wife and I went to the front line without even having a warm bed. How can we give birth to a baby? Your commander-in-chief is a well-fed man but does not know how hungry a man is when he is hungry. You can have a baby in a war. Can I, Old Tao, compete with you? Come on!
Be merciful, I’m almost going crazy! If your sister-in-law doesn’t come again, I probably won’t even be able to fire a blank cannon!”
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and lead the artillery group to catch up! I can tell you, save artillery shells, reorganize the team immediately after the battle, leave the air defense brigade to set up positions around Jinan, and the artillery brigade immediately prepare for battle." Li Chang still wanted to do something after hearing this.
In preparation for the battle, I no longer felt nervous. I hurriedly said "yes", put down the phone, and directed the artillery group to roll towards Jinan City.
After the First Division entered the city, Chen Zhengnian commanded the First Regiment to lead the way, clearing the way with tanks and armored vehicles, along the east-west street, towards Qichuan Gate, the east gate of the inner city. The Second Regiment, Third Regiment, New First Regiment and
The troops directly under the division, under the cover of the tanks and armored vehicles of the Second Regiment, first surrounded and annihilated the troops gathered by the Japs near the east gate of the city wall.
Strictly speaking, the tactics of this little devil are still at the level of summarizing the tactics of World War I. As for the city defense battle, they, like most Chinese armies, focus on defending the city walls, thinking that the city walls can block the Chinese army's attack.
The pace. Seki Kameharu not only concentrated the heavy firepower of each unit on the city wall, but also transferred the main force to the city wall so that it could be put into battle at any time. This is true for the outer city, and the same is true for the inner city. This is how Nishio Juzo was designed at the time.
Hisao didn't raise any objection after seeing it, indicating that this was the Japanese army's tactic.
Of course, in order to use the outer positions and the outer city to kill a large number of Jiaodong Army and ensure that the Jinan city defense can support the arrival of reinforcements, Guan Guizhi spent a lot of thought on the deployment of troops. The 213th Regiment was placed on the outer positions, and the 213th Regiment was placed outside.
The 214th Regiment in the city is used as a reserve force, the 216th Regiment in the inner city is used as a reserve force, the division baggage regiment, the engineering regiment, and the search team are stationed at the commercial port. The two remaining after the Jinan garrison and the 35th Division were assembled
The brigade and Jinan's puppet military garrison temporarily recruited armed expatriates to command the 214th Regiment that defended the outer city.
As for street defense, Guan Guizhi did not spend too much energy on it. He only placed some barricades on the streets. This cannot be blamed on Guan Guizhi's carelessness. The main reason is that he did not expect that the Jiaodong Army could break the city in one fell swoop. In Guan Guizhi's case,
Thinking about it, given the strength of the Jinan City wall, his 30th Division, plus the Jinan garrison and puppet troops, would have no problem guarding it for a week, or at least a day and night.
There is another reason, that is, the 34th Division just entered Jinan yesterday. The Jiaodong Army did not reach outside the city of Jinan yesterday and today during the day. The market in Jinan is still very calm, and the little devils are not willing to show weakness in front of the Chinese.
If you still want to maintain Jinan's prosperity, you can't turn the whole city into a blocking position before being attacked, right?
As a result, the captain of the 214th Regiment had an idea. He divided the main force of his 214th Regiment into brigade units and placed them on the east gate, north gate, and south gate city walls. The west gate city wall was defended by a brigade of the Jinan garrison.
, when preparing for the Eighth Route Army to launch the first wave of attacks, use the main force to inflict maximum damage on the Eighth Route Army, and then withdraw the main force, and send a brigade of Jinan garrison, puppet troops and temporarily armed Japanese expatriates to the city wall to confront the Eighth Route Army.
The main force is hidden and on standby.
Under normal circumstances, this configuration is normal. Japanese military officers have carefully studied Chinese army tactics and know that generally when Chinese troops attack a city, the covering fire is heavy machine guns and mortars. They first conduct a fire reconnaissance, and then the infantry carry
The ladder screamed and jumped up again and again, taking climbing the city wall and occupying the city wall as a sign of victory.
The captain of the 214th Regiment thought that Jiang Qiang's army had more artillery, but no matter how many, he would conduct fire reconnaissance, send infantry to launch probing attacks, and then find out the bright and dark firepower points of the imperial army, and then concentrate the artillery fire on the gap. In this case, he placed
The main force on the city wall can inflict a large number of casualties when Jiang Qiang's infantry launches a probing attack, and then withdraw the city wall to hide. When Jiang Qiang's artillery fire blasts a gap and the infantry pours into the gap, the main force can be used to rush out and eliminate the intruders.
The Jiaodong Army turned the gap into a meat grinder for the Jiaodong Army's siege troops.
The captain of the Japanese 214th Regiment had a good idea, but it was a pity that he had never fought with the main force of the instructors and did not understand Jiang Qiang's tactics at all. No, as soon as he came up, the main force on the east gate wall was sent to the mouth of the Jiaodong Army.
Down.
Guan Guiji and Hisao Tani both knew about the deployment of the 214th Regiment Captain. Therefore, the moment the Jiaodong Army artillery group blasted open the east city wall, they all knew that Jinan City could not be defended. After the main force of the First Division entered the city, they encountered
What arrived was the 214th Regiment, which was staying under the city wall to replace the main Jinan garrison on the city wall and temporarily recruit soldiers and puppet troops.
At the beginning, the Japanese and puppet troops were still very tenacious. Perhaps out of self-protection, the Japs fired wildly at the pressing Jiaodong Army. The Japs in the barricades fired their machine guns like wind in an attempt to stop them.
The Jiaodong Army marched in. Not to be outdone, even the puppet soldiers of the Shandong Guard Corps shot and bombed the Jiaodong Army under the threat of Japanese bayonets and machine guns. When they found that the machine guns and rifles were useless against the Jiaodong Army tanks, some young Japanese soldiers
Holding explosive packs and grenades, they pounced in front of tanks and armored vehicles, hoping to die with the tanks.
Moving with the tanks were the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 1st Regiments of the First Division of the Jiaodong Army. In particular, the 1st Regiment was equipped with a large number of 95 assault rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, and infantry artillery. Its equipment was much better than that of the Japanese Army's 30th
The level of the Fourth Division is not the same. Not only can Jiang Qiang know every soldier's name, but he also corrects their study books regularly. Each soldier is an educated warrior, familiar with equipment, and has a high level of use of equipment.
Gao. If the kid wants to use explosive packs and grenades to kill the tanks together, he has to pass their level first, right? The problem is that the kid can't pass this level and can only be beaten to pieces!
When the tanks of the first regiment rolled over the little Japanese barricades and rolled towards the west, the second regiment had more tanks than the first regiment, and the armored vehicles covered the infantry of the three regiments and pressed forward again. Now, these were not the main force in the first place.
The elite Japanese and puppet troops could no longer hold on and began to run away.
The Japanese and puppet troops fled along the streets and alleys in front. The Jiaodong Army tanks, armored vehicles and infantry vehicles turned on their lights and fired machine guns. They were chasing after them. Seeing that they could not outrun the cars, wheels and bullets, the puppet troops began to raise their weapons.
The gunmen surrendered, leaving only the temporarily recruited expatriates and the Jinan garrison still running toward the south gate, north gate and inner city.
After the South Gate and North Gate were completely destroyed, the Third Division, the Second Division and the Seventh Brigade and Sixth Division that followed the First Division into the city poured into the city. The battle in Jinan's outer city had actually entered the final stage.
When Tao Zhuangming's artillery group destroyed the east gate of the inner city, a regiment had already rushed to the east gate of the inner city. Chen Zhengnian's mind was full of attack speed. He wanted to quickly open up the traffic between the east and west of Jinan City and completely disrupt the enemy.
The subsequent troops were divided and annihilated.
As soon as Tao Zhuangming's artillery group stopped shelling, Chen Zhengnian listened carefully and saw that there was no movement on the Japanese position. With a wave of his hand, tanks and armored vehicles were dispatched. The supplementary battalion that had been following the three main battalions took the lead and passed the three main battalions.
The battalion followed the tanks and armored vehicles and rushed into the city gate.
Chen Zhengnian understood the actions of the supplementary battalion very well. From the battalion commander to the soldiers, they all worked hard and wanted to compare with the main battalion to see if there was any gap in combat effectiveness. Therefore, Chen Zhengnian did not make any adjustments. He also wanted the supplementary battalion to perform well.
, show your own prestige.
The 215th Regiment of the Little Devils is stationed in the inner city. This regiment is also the general reserve of the Jinan garrison. Its military strength is not much different from that of the First Regiment. The equipment, training level, and combat effectiveness are significantly different from those of the First Regiment.
When the Jiaodong Army's artillery group bombarded the Japanese outer positions on the front line of Wangshe Renzhuang, the 215th Regiment had already received orders to prepare for battle, and the troops had all assembled. When the Jiaodong Army's artillery group destroyed the east gate of the outer city, the 215th Regiment
The captain wanted to lead reinforcements and fight the Jiaodong Army out. However, before he received the order to reinforce the east gate of the outer city, the tanks of the First Division rumbled into the outer city, followed by the Jiaodong Army artillery group.
Then they started extended shooting, and the Qichuan Gate was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the little Japs on the wall of the Qichuan Gate were wiped out.
The captain of the 215th Regiment immediately understood that he was no longer a reserve team, but an inner city garrison. Moreover, the Jiaodong Army’s main attack direction was the east gate. Whether the inner city could be defended depended on whether it could defend the east gate.
The door is open.
The main force of the Japanese 215th Regiment was all concentrated at Qichuan Gate. In this case, a supplementary battalion rushed into Qichuan Gate along with tanks and armored vehicles. What greeted them was a dense rain of bullets and infantry artillery from the 215th Regiment.
Grenadier shells.
The Japanese infantry artillery and grenades were ineffective against tanks, but they posed a threat to armored vehicles. The two armored vehicles following the tanks fell down immediately after being shot.
The Japanese's light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and grenades were specially used to deal with the Jiaodong Army infantry. The light and heavy machine guns aimed at the gaps and fired coveringly. The Japanese's small melon grenades fell like hailstones, even though the soldiers were covered by tanks.
, and had enough earthen tanks to cover their bodies, but the Japanese counterattack still rushed the supplementary battalion following the tanks and armored vehicles into Qichuan Gate, killing and wounding them all. Even the battalion commander fell in a pool of blood.
When had Chen Zhengnian suffered such a loss since he led the regiment? Seeing the blood of the soldiers turning the garbage on the ruins of Qichuan Gate red, Chen Zhengnian's eyes were red with tears, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Get back quickly, get back quickly!"
"
The three main battalions of the regiment were in line with the old battalion in every aspect. They fought hard and never retreated, and they would not give up until the mission was completed. The casualties were so heavy that the soldiers did not even take a step back. The surviving soldiers quickly fell down on the spot and began to move out.
Shoot with guns and shoot against the little devils.
Fortunately, Chen Zhengnian had experienced hundreds of battles and had rich battlefield experience, so he was calm and calm. Otherwise, if he had just rashly used all his main force to rush forward, the losses would have been even greater, and the whole group might have been disabled.
As soon as he saw the fierce firepower of the Japs and the heavy casualties among the troops, Chen Zhengnian knew that he had encountered a tough opponent. This must be the main force of the Japs in Jinan City. By eliminating them and capturing Jinan, the battle would be over.
Chen Zhengnian immediately ordered the tanks and armored vehicles to continue attacking and advance, attacking the formations and artillery positions of the Japs. The cover regiment occupied the position with heavy firepower. He ordered each rocket launcher group to target the places where the Japs were concentrated and bombard them to destroy the Japs' will to resist. He ordered the Second Battalion to
, the third battalion seized the city wall from the north and south, and the old battalion prepared to attack the Japanese head-on.
The firepower of Tao Zhuangming's artillery group was so powerful that not only did the Qichuan Gate collapse, but a large section of the city wall connected to the Qichuan Gate was also blown down. This gap was too big, enough for a regiment to deploy its troops and firepower. Wait for the instructor to
With the regiment's more than twenty infantry cannons, a long line of heavy machine guns and grenade launchers set up, the captain of the 215th Regiment understood why the Jiaodong Group Army always won the battle.
The infantry artillery of a regiment was originally fixed to the car during the march, and the car was left outside the city. All the infantry artillery was dismounted, mounted on wheels, and pushed forward by the soldiers.
Not long after, the group's retaliation began. First, the tanks and armored vehicles unleashed their firepower, attacking while driving, rushing towards the Japanese. Then the rocket launcher groups occupying the positions began to bombard them, and they hit them with one shot.
All the Japs were dead. After the heavy firepower of the Sect No. 1 group was deployed, the arrogance of the little Japs was suppressed.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the second and third battalions climbed up the city wall and began to attack the Japanese from a high position. At this time, the old first battalion took action. The soldiers each had a 95 assault rifle, with a continuous stream of bullets, and they were able to shoot extremely accurately.
Not to mention the little Japs who were throwing grenades just now, not to mention the machine gunners and gunners, those guys who hide their bodies and aim and shoot with rifles. As long as they dare to show their faces without fear of death, they will be knocked down.
Chen Zhengnian was ruthless and had to wipe out all these Japs! After killing so many Japs in the sneak attack on Weicheng, how many casualties did a regiment have? The trick the little Japs just played broke the casualty record since the formation of the regiment.
, how can Chen Zhengnian not hate him? Chen Zhengnian strictly ordered all battalions to pounce on them, spread their firepower, and use bullets to send these damn devils back to Little Japan!
When large units fight, they mainly rely on firepower. When the opponent's firepower is too strong, you are a special forces soldier or sniper, and you cannot have too many opportunities to show your individual qualities. Now the firepower of a group is strong enough, and the opponent's firepower is too strong.
The little Japs don't have the qualities of special forces or snipers. Apart from surrendering, they have no choice but to die.
This is no longer the time for the Jaap team leader to launch a surprise attack. What he regrets most now is why he did not fire gas bombs! If he had fired poison gas bombs, even if the distance was too close, all his soldiers would die. At least he could still
They dragged this group of Jiaodong soldiers to die. Now it's over. They don't even have the chance to launch poison gas bombs.
Due to the bombing of the Eighth Route Army Air Force on the way from Tai'an to Jinan, the 33rd Division suffered heavy losses, and the 215th Wing also added a large number of Jinan garrison soldiers. These little devils have never fought against the Eighth Route Army since arriving in China.
, I don’t know what fear is. Now that I know what fear is, I regret joining the army and coming to China, but the bullets of the Jiaodong Group Army are also aimed at them. The lucky ones among these guys who were lucky enough to be alive couldn’t hold on anymore and started to run away.
