Chapter 13 The Battle of Shandong (1)

?The order from the Nanjing United Front Work Department and Xie Qian's letter for help were sent to Dengzhou at almost the same time. "" At this time, Zhou Shaohuan had already had serious discussions with the generals of the Shandong Military Region and formulated an offensive strategy to seize Shandong.

advance plan.

The territory of Shandong Province in the Ming Dynasty was basically the same as that of later generations, but it was administratively divided into six prefectures: Jinan, Yanzhou, Dongchang, Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou. Currently, the Shandong Military Region of the Chinese Army occupies the three prefectures of Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou.

It is on the same line as Yizhou and Fei County in the southeast of Yanzhou Prefecture. The Qing government occupied most of Jinan Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, and Yanzhou Prefecture.

The Qing government's chief general in Shandong was Abatai, who personally led 25,000 troops and was stationed in Jinan. His eldest son, Bolo, led 15,000 troops and was stationed in Jiyang County in the northeast of Jinan Prefecture. His generals were Niulu'er and Jinnah.

, Baya, Zhangtun; Jia La E Zhen Bandai, Dao La, Meile E Zhen Luo Bi, Tan Bu and others.

Li Shutai was stationed on the front line of Gunzhou, with a total force of about 35,000. His generals included Chen Jin, Chen Tai, Wu Chaozuo, Jin Guangyu, Xia Chengde, Xia Jinghai and others. They were stationed in Surabaya, Zouxian, Jining, etc.

land.

Abatai's youngest son Yue Le led the 15,000 troops of the Shenwei Battalion to garrison Tai'an Prefecture and support Jinan and Gun Prefecture.

Zhou Shaohuan's plan was to divide his troops into two groups and attack Jinan and Yanzhou respectively. The battle to attack Jinan was personally directed by Zhou Shaohuan himself. The Fourth Army had already entered Boxing County in the northwest of Qingzhou, less than forty miles away from Gaoyuan County, and the Ninth Army

The army was also stationed near Shangshan, close to the junction of Qingzhou Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture.

The battle to attack Yanzhou was commanded by Tong Dayong, who led the Fifth Army and the Tenth Army. Now that Tong Dayong has been stationed in Yizhou and Feixian County, he is only waiting for orders to launch an attack on Gunzhou.

After receiving the order from the Nanjing United Front Work Department, Zhou Shaohuan immediately sent an order to Yizhou and ordered Tong Dayong to start the attack. At the same time, he ordered the Fourth Army to attack Gaoyuan, Qingcheng, Qidong and other places, and then directly attack the relief. Chapter 1

The Ninth Army also jumped over Shangshan, rescued Zichuan, captured Xincheng, Zouping, Changshan and other places, and then advanced to Zhangqiu, and the two groups attacked Jinan together.

After the Xie Qian uprising broke out, Abatai did not dare to be careless and immediately dispatched Mele'er Zhenluobi with a white flag to lead the army to quell the rebellion. He dispatched about 16,000 troops, but at this time he had to divide his troops to garrison Gaoyuan.

, Xincheng, Changshan and other places, there were only more than 12,000 Qing troops besieging Zichuan, including 1,000 gunmen and 20 artillery pieces, and another 1,000 cavalry.

In early April, Luo Bi had already detected that the Chinese Army troops had stationed in the Shangshan area with the intention of rescuing Zichuan County. Therefore, he quickly sent an announcement to Jinan, asking Abatai to send troops to assist him.

At the same time, Huangjiapu Town in the north of Zichuan was used as the core to organize garrison to prevent the Chinese army from attacking. As a result, there was no attack on Zichuan County.

The person responsible for rescuing Zichuan County was the 14th Division of the Ninth Army. The division commander was named Yang Hanzhong. He was originally an Orion from the unknown mountain village where Shang Yi was originally. In the Chinese Army, he was definitely a veteran. In the past few years,

He also made many military exploits, and used his spare time to learn reading and literacy. Later, he went to Hangzhou Phoenix Military Academy twice to participate in short-term military theory training, and was promoted to division commander after the establishment of the Shandong Military Region.

Since the Qing government began to invade the south in the first year of Hongguang (1645), the main battlefields of the two sides have been concentrated in the Jianghuai area. The Chinese army and the Qing army have fought many major battles. In Shandong, the two sides have generally maintained a confrontation. Although Small battles occurred almost every month, but there were basically no major battles.

Although the Shandong Military Region sent troops to the south many times to help in the battles on the Jianghuai battlefield, they were only responsible for containment and cover tasks. During the raid on Liaodong, a division was also sent to participate in the battle. Although these tasks were completed well, However, several major battles, such as the Battle of Jianghuai, the advance into the Dabie Mountains, the recapture of Nanjing, and the subsequent capture of six Yangtze provinces, etc., were all completed by troops from the Zhejiang region. Therefore, in the past few years, except for the recapture of Qingzhou, Shandong's troops have indeed not What a remarkable record, even worse than that of the Fubo Army.

Seeing the outstanding achievements of other troops, the officers and soldiers of the Shandong Army also had some emotions, thinking that they were not valued by Shang Yi. After Shang Yi arrived in Zhejiang, he forgot about the old place where he started. However, Several generals of the Shandong team can understand Shang Yi's arrangement. After all, the Qing army's offensive focus is on the Jianghuai front line, not Shandong.

Therefore, the generals headed by Zhou Shaohuan never complained about Shang Yi's decision, and tried their best to appease the soldiers and obey the overall situation, all in order to fight against the Qing army and regain the Han people. Don't worry about these small things, as they will naturally use force in the future.

After Shang Yi took control of Nanjing, he reorganized the army and Shandong was officially organized into a large military region. He also officially stated that in the future war against the Qing Dynasty, the Shandong Military Region would assume important tasks, thus also affecting the mood of the Shandong troops. A lot has been eliminated.

Now the Shandong Military Region has finally waited for the Nanjing United Front Department to issue a full-scale attack mission. Therefore, the whole army is very excited and has extremely high morale. They all hope to make achievements in this battle and win for themselves and the Shandong Military Region.

Yang Hanzhong was the first to rescue Zizhou County. He himself had relatively rich practical experience and participated in systematic training and study. Therefore, he could be regarded as a middle-level commander with both wisdom and courage. Before the war started, he also made detailed The battle plan is that two regiments will be responsible for a frontal attack on Huangjiapu Town. The other regiment will immediately go around to the side and rear of the Qing army after the battle begins. When the battle situation is deadlocked, launch an attack from the side. If the Qing army If they retreat, they will attack the Qing army in the direction in which the Qing army retreated.

In the early morning of April 10, two regiments of the 14th Division launched attacks on the Qing army from the east and west sides.

The Qing army on the right was defending a place called Quanlong Village. The Chinese army first used artillery fire to blast open the wall outside the village, Luzhai and other defensive bunkers. Then the soldiers rushed into the village and started a battle with the Qing army defenders. Although the melee took place in the dark, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army performed very bravely and took full advantage of the Chinese army's superiority in firepower to continuously attack the Qing army's defense in Quanlong Village.

Although the Qing army guarding Quanlong Village also rose up to resist, firstly, the Qing army's firepower was far less intense than that of the Chinese army, and secondly, they were not used to fighting at night. Therefore, when the battle was about the fourth watch, the Qing army in Quanlong Village After being defeated by the Chinese army, about a thousand people withdrew from the village and fled towards Huangjiapu Town. Another 400 She people were captured by the Chinese army.

On the left, the Chinese army attacked Zhaocun. The Chinese army's attack was very smooth and they quickly entered Zhaocun. However, at this time, reinforcements sent from Huangjiapu Town also arrived at Zhaocun. Luo Bi

Five hundred cavalry were sent to rescue Zhaocun. The Qing cavalry took advantage of the cover of darkness to launch an attack from behind the Chinese army. The commander of the offensive regiment immediately decided to send a battalion to block the cavalry, and the rest of the troops continued the attack.

Recruiting villages.

Because the Qing army's cavalry had already rushed to the front of the Chinese army, the battalion responsible for blocking the cavalry could not arrange a defensive formation calmly. The soldiers immediately dispersed into combat groups with platoons as units. The soldiers on the outside came with bayonets.

To block the Qing army's attack, the soldiers on the inside kept

He loaded and fired, and targeted the Qing soldiers' horses. He also continuously bombarded the Qing army's cavalry with grenades. This firmly held back the Qing army's reinforcements, so that although they could see the firelight in Zhao Village,

You can also hear shouts of death and gunshots inside, but you can't get there.

The two sides had been fighting for more than two hours. At this time, another part of the Chinese army had defeated the defenders of Zhaocun and came to reinforce the blocking force. Seeing this, the Qing army's reinforcements did not dare to continue the attack.

, immediately retreated all back to Huangjiapu Town.

After the battle, the battalion responsible for blocking the cavalry also suffered nearly 200 casualties, becoming the unit with the largest casualties in that night's battle. However, the Qing cavalry did not occupy much of a role.

Yi, the casualties of the entire army also reached more than 150 people.

At dawn, the defensive positions on the left and right sides of Huangjiapu Town were breached by the Chinese army, and Huangjiapu Town was caught between two sides of the Chinese army. In the early morning, the Chinese army launched an attack on Huangjiapu Town.

At this time, the Qing army in Huangjiapu Town, including the defeated troops, still had about 8,000 people. In terms of number, it was still more than the two regiments of the Chinese army. However, at this time, the Qing army had been completely defeated by the Chinese army.

After being suppressed, the Chinese army directly used artillery to bombard Huangjiapu Town from the east and west sides, and gradually extended its firepower and advanced.

Such an offensive method made it impossible for the Qing army, which lacked firearms, to resist, and was completely trapped in a back-up attack. Although Luo Bi sent troops to attack twice in an attempt to attack the Chinese army's artillery positions, they had already arranged a defensive formation.

In front of the Chinese army, they were all beaten to pieces and had to retreat to Huangjiapu Town.

The battle continued until about nine o'clock in the morning. The Qing army's strength was less than 7,000, and all the outer positions of Huangjiapu Town had been lost. The Qing army was compressed to resist in this small town. Although it was raining heavily at this time,

But the guns and artillery of the Chinese army were under heavy rain

It can still be used and maintains about 70% of its power, so it is basically not affected by the heavy rain. It can still suppress the Qing army with firepower. The shells fell one by one in Huangjiapu Town and exploded. The Qing army was completely

Lost the power to resist.

Under such circumstances, Luo Bi also knew that Huangjiapu Town could not be defended at all, so he decided to abandon Huangjiapu Town and implement a breakout.

Luo Bi was also an experienced person and knew that the retreat must be carried out step by step in an orderly manner. He planned to use the cavalry to open the way, followed by the infantry, and block the road halfway with the army's vehicles to block the pursuit of the Chinese army. Then the large group of troops marched towards Zhangqiu County

retreat in the direction.
