On New Year's Eve, the Eighth Route Army launched a thunderous offensive against Jinpu Road, Jiaoji Road and Longhai Road, achieving great results.
Needless to say, the results of the Western Group are in the dark. Some Japanese troops may have escaped from the sky while covering the night, but after all, they have wiped out the main force of the 27th Division of the Japanese army. Even if the Japanese army replenishes the 27th Division, the combat effectiveness will not increase.
To the original level, the North Group commanded by Lei Ming and the South Group commanded by Hong Chaoyuan also achieved great results. Under the cover of powerful artillery fire, the North Group severely damaged part of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army and destroyed 30 miles of Jiaoji Road.
The South Group severely damaged part of the 29th Division of the Japanese Army and destroyed Longhai Road 20 miles east and west of Xin'an Town.
Overnight, the Japanese army's blockade line collapsed, Longhai Road and Jiaoji Road were interrupted, and the restoration project of Jinpu Road was stopped again.
Liu Yimin was delighted and wrote a press release entitled "The Eighth Route Army's New Year's Eve Victory in Shandong Military Region."
In the press release, Liu Yimin wrote: "On February 7, 1940, on the night of reunion and New Year's Eve on the Lunar New Year's Eve, the main force of our Eighth Route Army Shandong Military Region divided into three routes to attack Jiaoji Road, Jinpu Road and Longhai Road occupied by the Japanese army.
In this battle, our army annihilated three main infantry gangs of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army gathered between Qufu and Ciyao, eliminated the Xin'an Town Guards of the 29th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in the eastern section of Longhai Road, and eliminated the 30th National Congress of the Japanese Army.
The Sixth Division was stationed in the Gaomi section of Jiaoji Road, killing more than 15,000 Japanese troops, and achieving a great victory in New Year's Eve!"
Liu Yimin wrote the press release into a literary battlefield record report, detailing the cause and purpose of launching the New Year's Eve counterattack, and describing the great power of the main force of our army's concentrated artillery assault. Finally, Liu Yimin wrote: "The 27th Division Regiment
It was adapted from the original Independent Brigade of the North China Garage Army. The brigade originally had two infantry corps, which were the culprits and culprits that provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident. The second corps was originally stationed in Tianjin, and was occupied by our army.
All shot dead. The Japanese army expanded the remaining first brigade into three brigades and formed the 27th Division. During the New Year's Eve battle, the artillery of the division was destroyed by me, and the main three brigades were
Being annihilated by me shows a truth: those who kill will always kill them! All Japanese officers and soldiers who have been on the battlefield of invading China should understand that they committed crimes of burning, killing, and rape in China, and they are unforgivable. There are only two ways to wait for them.
Either surrender or confess or be shot dead!”
On the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, when the Japanese army dispatched a large number of planes to three battlefields to carry out revenge, they found that the land was vast and the Eighth Route Army was missing. Except for the bodies of the Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield, they were clean and peaceful, as if they were peaceful and peaceful.
The fierce battle last night was like a nightmare.
The Eighth Route Army's offensive ended abruptly!
Lieutenant General Kitamama Masaki, who fled to Zou County and joined the Second Guard Division, had become a frightened rabbit, and was sarcastic at the commander of the Second Guard Division.
Next, he organized the retraction troops tremblingly. This retraction troops were completely disappointed. The equipment of the 27th Mountain Artillery Regiment was gone, and more than 1,200 people escaped.
The three main corpses, with less than 800 people escaped, leaving only one brigade of troops.
Masahoshi Honma did not dare to conceal it, and honestly reported the war damage to the North China Front Army Command and the 12th Army Command, requesting emergency supplements.
Tada Jun thought that the Eighth Route Army launched such a large offensive and would inevitably further expand the results of the battle. After his troops stabilized their positions, they could completely regain the defense land captured by the Eighth Route Army under the cover of the aircraft. Not to mention eliminating or severely damaging the Eighth Route Army, the most important thing is to do is to eliminate or damage the Eighth Route Army.
At least he could use air superiority to consume part of the Eighth Route Army. He never expected that the Eighth Route Army would actually attack, stop at the moment, and send and receive from the heart.
Tada Jun, who had not slept all night, sat at his desk like a defeated rooster, looking through the air force's investigation report and the war damage reports of various troops, and after a long time looking up at the Chief of Staff Ryosuke Yoshizuru: "Yeshurukun
, What do you think of the Eighth Route Army's sudden stop of offensive?"
What good ideas does Yoshizuru Ryosu have? But the commander asked, Yoshizuru Ryosuru had to bite the bullet and answer: "Maybe he is afraid of being hit by the air force during the day!"
Tada Jun asked another question: "If that were the case, will the Eighth Route Army continue to launch an attack tonight?"
Yoshisuke couldn't answer this question.
Yoshizuru Ryosuke proposed last night to use air force cover to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army during the day. Now the Eighth Route Army has retreated without a trace, so there is no way to strike this counterattack. Moreover, the fierce battle overnight, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and could no longer be launched.
After counterattacking, what they need is to converge the bodies and deploy defense lines.
After a while, Tada Jun sighed and said to Tada Jun: "Report the damage to the base camp, request that the 27th Division be allowed to return to China to make up for the remediation, and order the 2nd Guards Division to take over the defense of the 27th Division.
The 12th Division was stationed in Teng County and Yi County; ordered the 114th Division to assist the 29th Division in restoring the defense line in the eastern section of the Longhai Line, and the 29th Division rested and repaired on the spot; ordered the guards to
The First Division assisted the 36th Division to restore the defense line, and the 36th Division rested on the spot and waited for a supplementary service."
Tada Jung gave the order in one breath, got tired and leaned on the back of the chair for a while.
When Yoshisuke Yoshizuru came in again, he was holding an emergency command from the General Command of the China Expeditionary Army. He urgently dispatched the First Guard Division and the Second Guard Division to transport south to support the Battle of Southern Guangxi.
.
Tada Jun was beaten to death by the Eighth Route Army and was eager to use the First Guard Division and the Second Guard Division to stabilize the defense line. How could he bear to let these two elite divisions leave Shandong? However, Tada Jun is in North China.
The commander of the front army knew the priorities and sent the General Command of the Army to urgently dispatch two divisions to assist the battlefield in southern Guangxi, indicating that the situation in southern Guangxi was severe, and the Chinese team began to launch a counterattack. Liu Yimin was famous for his reputation, but the imperial army was defeated.
Liu Yimin's subordinates are no longer embarrassed now, and the people in the country can barely accept this fact. If they are defeated by the Kuomintang army, the majesty of the Japanese Imperial Army will be completely gone.
The plan cannot keep up with the rapid changes. Tada Jun originally wanted to wait for the 27th Division, the 29th Division, and the 36th Division to complete the supplement, and then launch a raid on central and southern Shandong. Now this plan can only be used.
He was dead. Next, Tada Jun had to consider how to re-stabilize the defense line.
Tada Jun thought for a long time and said to Yoshisu Ryosuke: "Creating power to the base camp and the dispatching army headquarters. The confidant of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Army was in North China and in the Eighth Route Army. Last night, Liu Yimin's army was extremely fierce, resulting in the third 27th Division.
Most of the main corps were broken, and the 29th Division and the 36th Division also suffered major casualties. Jiaoji Road and Longhai Road were interrupted again, and the results of the Jinpu Road restoration project were put into full swing. Shandong battlefield urgently needed the stability of the elite division.
Defence line. Therefore, the First Guard Division can quickly ship south to support operations. If possible, please stay in Shandong. It is recommended to draw the Sixth Division and the First Guard Division to go south to support operations.
Fight quickly and return to the original defense area after completing the mission.”
Tadashi's suggestion played a role. The base camp and the dispatched army headquarters may consider that the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division is far greater than that of the Guards' Second Division. They called back and agreed that the Guards' Second Division stayed on the Shandong battlefield temporarily and ordered Tadashi to strictly block the second.
The news that the main force of the 17th Division was wiped out, and the false war report that the Eighth Route Army might have published was a false war report that was rumored and confusing the public. The base camp also notified Tada Jun that the 27th Division would rest and replenish on the spot, and the required troops and equipment should be reported immediately.
Shipping from Lianyungang from Sasebo Base.
After reading the telegram, Tada Jun was ashamed and felt that he had let down His Majesty the Emperor's trust and shamed His Majesty. Not only did His Majesty not hold him accountable, but instead allowed him to conceal his defeat and quickly supplement him.
The shameless Jun Tada actually pulled out his sabre and pulled a knife hard on his arm amid Yoshisuke's screams, and the blood immediately dyed his military uniform red.
Putting down the saber, Tada Jun said fiercely: "Liu Yimin, I, Tada Jun, will definitely be ashamed of failure today!"
Soon, the Japanese radio station began to broadcast the latest report on public security operations in Shandong, saying that last night, the 12th Army of the North China Front Army launched a fierce battle with the Eighth Route Army, repelling the Eighth Route Army's attack, killing and injuring 15,000 Eighth Route Army's troops.
Victoriously defended the traffic line.
As a result, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, two tit-for-tat battle reports appeared on the radio station. The Eighth Route Army said that it had won a great victory in New Year's Eve, wiped out the main force of the 27th Division of the Japanese army, and killed more than 15,000 Japanese troops; the Japanese army said that it was
The Eighth Route Army attack was repelled, killing and injuring more than 15,000 people from the Eighth Route Army. Immediately afterwards, the North China Front Army held a press conference and used an aircraft to receive Lieutenant General Masayoshi Honma, the commander of the 27th Division, to Peking, and to reporters
We met and refuted the Eighth Route Army's war report.
Masahoho was panicked last night and made a mistake in command. He was like a rabbit who was alarmed by the Eighth Route Army hunters. Today, he was in a neat uniform and looked like a handsome Japanese lieutenant general. According to Tada Shizuki's instructions, he started to speak out.
Whitewash the Japanese army, whitewash themselves, and describe the defeat he fought as a great victory.
The Japanese army put in a lot of effort, but the Chinese and even major international public opinion media adopted the Eighth Route Army's battle reports, printed newspapers, and announced the news of the Eighth Route Army's New Year's Eve victory. The main reason is that the Eighth Route Army never falsely reported its achievements, and Liu Yimin's army was unwilling to do so.
There is never a precedent for falsely reporting the results when announcing the results. Every good news from the Eighth Route Army is real. It is necessary to clean the battlefield and find out the actual casualties of the Japanese army. If necessary, the Eighth Route Army can even follow the identity card on the Japanese army's corpse.
The names, hometowns and addresses of the soldiers who were shot and killed by the Japanese army were announced one by one.
This situation is equivalent to slapping the Japanese army in the face. It also means that the whole world knows that the war report of the Great Japanese Imperial Army is unreliable. They have learned to conceal the damage to the war and falsely report the results of the war! Such troops, and
