Changlu Village was built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It is located on the side of the main road in Dayizhou, ancient Tai'an Prefecture, and is named Changlu. It is a major transportation town in the northwest of Mengyin, and is only 30 miles away from Mengyin City. ( )
The terrain of this area is high in the north and south, with a low middle. The south is a bluestone mountainous area, the north is a low sand and gravel mountainous area, and the middle is flat.
Every time the Japanese army swept the troops, as long as they occupied Mengyin County, they would set up strongholds here to guard the traffic lines.
At 3:00 p.m. on July 22, a vanguard of the 29th Division of the Japanese Army departed from Mengyin City, consisting of six motorcycles, two tanks, three armored vehicles, five cars and a cavalry of a slap squadron.
The search troops rushed to the Changlu stronghold and contacted the Japanese and puppet troops at the Changlu stronghold. After confirming that there was no suspicious situation in Changlu, the Japanese army's pioneer search troops sent all normal telegrams to the main force, and then began to continue advancing westward.
It seems that the Japanese army wanted to rush to camp in Xintai as soon as possible so that they could pass through Xintai and go to Laiwu tomorrow morning.
As a result, less than five miles away from Changlu Village, the Japanese vanguard searching force found that the road was dug up, and the two motorcycles that were at the forefront were unable to brake and fell into the trench. Immediately afterwards, the two were driving on the highway.
The tank pressed against the anti-tankrei, and rumbling, and he couldn't move.
The armored vehicles, cars, and the machine guns on the remaining four motorcycles opened fire, and the bullets splashed into the fields on both sides of the road. The Japanese cavalry on the war horses pressed their horses' heads and lay down on the spot, taking off their backs on their backs.
The Type 44-style rifle on the board has joined the ranks of fire reconnaissance. The latest chapter of the temple
After a while of fighting, there was no gunshot sound of counterattack. The Japanese in the car jumped out of the car, the cavalry also got off the horse, and the lying horses were pulled up. The Japanese began to observe the road trench.
Check the loss.
This trench must have been dug last night, and the soil on the edge of the trench was newly turned over. Moreover, the trench was very long and deep, completely blocking the passage of Japanese vehicles, war horses and personnel.
The Japanese vanguard's vanguard's searching troops immediately set up alerts and reported to the main force that the road was blocked by road trenches. He ordered several Japanese cavalrymen to return to Changlu strongholds, so that the Japanese and puppet troops who were about to give up the strongholds and retreated with the large army immediately led the engineers.
The shovel and pickaxe come over, level the trench, and make clear the obstacles to the troops' advance.
Destroying traffic is a common trick of the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese officers knew it. It was difficult for them to cut the steep slopes on both sides of the trench into gentle slopes to allow vehicles and personnel to pass through, but it would only take some time to waste.
The Japanese planes that provided air fire protection for the 29th Division also flew over, a group of four, hovering around Changlu to investigate.
Not long after, the Japanese and puppet troops in Changlu Village arrived and brought tools. The puppet troops jumped into the trench under the gaze of the Japanese and began to wave pickaxes and shovels, and drove away in a hurry.
At four o'clock, the large Japanese troops came up one after another. In front were the battle chariots strengthened by the 29th Division, with a total of about twenty tanks and thirty armored vehicles, followed by a series of forty or fifty.
A car full of ammunition and supplies and soldiers arrived one after another. The main force of the Japanese infantry was a horse-drawn artillery, ammunition van and rubber van carrying rations, and the Japanese guard infantry gang behind it.
The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Duozhuang and Mengyin also evacuated with the 29th Division.
So many Japanese and puppet troops, including cars, carriages, artillery chariots, cavalry, artillery, infantry, and engineers, were lined up in a long line on the road, like a stiff dead snake, blocked by the trench.
The road is on. "
There were so many Japanese and puppet troops coming at once. Those in Changlu Village and surrounding villages did not listen to the persuasion of the Eighth Route Army cadres, thinking that Changlu was an old stronghold of the Japanese and puppet troops, and they did not see how bad the Japanese and puppet troops were, and they did not want to retreat secretly at night.
The few very stubborn people were alarmed and began to escape from the village and run towards the mountains on both sides.
This angered the Japanese who were waiting for the pass on the road. The Japanese actually regarded these fleeing people as targets. The machine guns and rifles fired, and they were playing to see who had the correct marksmanship.
The blood dyed Changlu Village red.
The 29th Division had a 29th Engineer Regiment. After catching up, it immediately started to build the road. Once there were more people, the speed would be fast. The time was not long, and the Japanese tanks would be one after another.
The cavalry of the 29th search regiment of the Japanese threshing crossed the gentle slope and drove forward. The cavalry of the 29th search regiment also passed through the trench and began to search on both sides of the highway to ensure the safety of the large army's marching.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese did not run 1,000 meters, and another trench in front blocked the way, and two tanks were blown up. The Japanese engineers came in handy again, first carefully inspected the trench with a mine detector.
After confirming that there were no mines, he began to jump off the road trench, waved his shovel and pickaxe again, repaired the steep slope of the road trench, and opened the way for the large army.
The six trenches blocked the 29th Division of the Japanese Army near Changlu. It was not until after seven o'clock that the Japanese had built the six trenches.
Lieutenant General Kamimura Ritomo, the commander of the 29th Division of the Japanese Army, was from Kumamoto Prefecture. He also studied all the way from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the Army University. He served as the head of the General Affairs Section of the General Staff Headquarters, the head of the exercise section, and the deputy chief of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army
The principal of the Tokyo Army Young School and the chief of staff of the Third Army were a very smart general. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had such a large amount of money, digging six trenches to block his path, and when it was late, I knew the problem.
It's serious. There may be a tiger's den in front of you. The Eighth Route Army will definitely attack him. The unlucky night is about to begin again.
Hiramura Tachidao immediately ordered the troops to stop, the main force was deployed on the spot, seized the position, and protected the logistics troops to camp on the spot.
The order from Uemura Rido was considered to have sent the 29th Division back to Yasukuni Shrine. However, it cannot be blamed for this. With such a huge army, there must be an Eighth Route Army blocking force forward, which will turn back and retract back to Meng.
In Yin County, I don’t know if he could rush back before dark. Will the Eighth Route Army, who had been following him, marching towards the county town, and at night, surrounded his troops in the county town for harassment and attack.
At this moment, Kuramura Ridao did not realize that he was surrounded by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, because he encountered many things that he had dug up the highway and delayed the speed of the troops' marching. Moreover, the main force of the Eighth Route Army was far away.
Jinan is far away from here, and even if you have wings, you can't get here.
Himura Ridao didn't know that at this time, behind the bushes on the hillsides on both sides of Changlu Village, there were several vigilant eyes staring at the movements of the Japanese army, and they were whispering to report the shelling parameters on the telephone.
After Liu Yimin led the main force to withdraw from the Caofan area, he had already arrived here. He was responsible for pursuing the fourth column of Leiming and Wang Nanhu, which were raiding the 29th Division, and the 12th column of Tang Liang, reported the Japanese marching route.
It was clear that Liu Yimin was determined to annihilate the Japanese army in the Changlu area. Because the Japanese army must pass here after starting from Mengyin. In the past, Changlu Road was not far away, and the Japanese were likely to divide their troops. The main force of the 29th Division was along Xintai.
Go north to Laiwu, and the left-behind troops of the 12th Division advanced westward from Xintai along the highway to Tai'an. Liu Yimin did not want the left-behind troops of the 12th Division to slip away. Changlu is the best place to annihilate the enemy.
At this time, the armored group of the first column of the Eighth Route Army, the first brigade and the cavalry column were waiting for orders to strangle the highway leading to Xintai, and were preparing to launch an assault from west to east. The second brigade of the First Column and the second brigade of the First Column and the baggage brigade were hidden in
On the hillside north of Chang Road, the First Column and the Third Brigade and the Air Defense Brigade are hidden on the hillside south of Chang Road. The artillery columns and the First Column Artillery Regiment and the Cavalry Column Artillery Regiment form two artillery groups in the north and south, respectively, and are the new ones.
Commander of the Artillery Column, Li Chang, and political commissar Wang Shanzhu, were commanding, preparing to launch an annihilated artillery fire strike on the 29th Division. To the east, there were the 10th Brigade of the Fourth Column and the 23rd Brigade of the Twelfth Column, which was chasing the 10th Brigade of the 12th Column,
He was rushing here through a mountain path to take on the task of cutting off the enemy's rear.
The big network is 10% waiting for Liu Yimin to give the order.
Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan set up the command center in the wing on the top of the gate on the north side of Chang Road. At this time, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan both wore hats woven by branches, held a telescope, climbed on the stone wall of the wing.
Using a telescope, he observed the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops on the Changlu Highway.
Just 10 minutes before the troops were ordered to camp on site, Liu Yimin felt that it was almost dark and it was time for the Japanese plane to fly away. It was impossible for the Japanese planes at Qingdao and Xuzhou Airport to mobilize large groups of aircraft to come before it gets dark.
After joining the war, he turned around and said to the deputy director of the Staff Office ** Feng and Zhu Zhexiao: "Order all troops to enter the position and prepare the artillery."
After ordering, the hillsides on both sides of Changlu became vivid immediately. Clusters of dense trees were pushed down, revealing the artillery positions that had been built. The muzzles were raised high and pointed to the Japanese army on the road. The infantrymen wore their heads.
Grass ring, carrying the disassembled infantry cannons, mortars, grenade launchers, and ammunition boxes, and carrying heavy machine guns to move down the hillside. In this way, it is necessary to get as close as possible to the Japanese and shorten the distance during assault charges.
After giving the order, Heidao Umura entered Changlu Village to camp. At this time, he received a very bad report. The cavalry who was in the search found that the Eighth Route Army seemed to be moving on the hillsides on both sides.
Kuramura Ridao was shocked and hurried out of the village, raised his telescope to observe. This observation scared Kuramura Ridao's soul. The cavalry reported it well, and it was indeed the Eighth Route Army moving, and it seemed that it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army. In the telescope
The rows of high-rise cannons were much more than the 29th field artillery revolver.
Knowing that the Eighth Route Army's attack was about to come, he quickly ordered all troops to occupy the positions and prepare to defend them. He ordered the 29th Regiment of Field Artillery to quickly establish artillery positions, artillery the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions, order contact with the aviation force immediately.
The Eighth Route Army artillery positions on the hillsides on both sides of the road were bombed!
Takido Uemura did not forget to report to Tada Jun that his 29th Division was surrounded by heavy troops of the Eighth Route Army!
