After the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi launched the Zhengtai Road Battle, all troops actively participated in the battle, far exceeding the number of participating troops scheduled by the headquarters. The main force fought hard, local armed forces, and militia were not willing to kill the Japanese. How could the main force go on and look at the local armed forces? In this way, there were more than 100 regiments of the main force participating in the battle, plus local armed forces and militias, and 200 regiments, which destroyed Pinghan Road, Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road, and Beining Road, and completely fell into a state of paralysis.
Because the Japanese did not expect that the Eighth Route Army could launch such a large-scale offensive after experiencing the anti-friction battle, the First Japanese Army in Shanxi was completely stunned, and the troops on several traffic lines were trapped in a passive situation of fighting on their own.
In a telegram to the commander of the North China Front Army, Yoshio Shinozuka wrote desperately: "Since the second capture of Taiyuan, the battlefield in Shanxi has not been as desperate as it is now. After three years of fighting, the Eighth Route Army has fought more and more, and the Imperial Army has suffered more and more casualties. The existing forces of the First Army cannot meet the needs of combat at all. Judging from the current situation, if you do not receive strong support, the First Army is likely to lose its initiative in the battlefield in Shanxi and may even be driven out of Shanxi."
In shock, Tada Jung proposed the idea of a destruction battle against the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and was determined to mobilize the 37th Division in Deshi Road, retreated from western Shandong to the 41st Division in Dezhou, and rushed from southern Hebei to the 11th Division in Dezhou. In the 14th Division in northern Henan, the ** mixed fifth Division and the main force of the Mongolian Army stationed in Shimen. The main force of the puppet Mongolian Army launched a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army, and eliminated the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi that was implementing traffic raid tactics in one fell swoop.
Tada Jun dared to make such a great determination mainly because he was stimulated by two factors. One was that after the Guards Cabinet came to power, in view of the achievements made by the German army in the European battlefield, Foreign Minister Yoeu Matsuoka accelerated the pace of negotiating the agreement with Germany and Italy to negotiate and sign an alliance treaty, and soon Germany, Italy and Japan will form an axis alliance. The second was that the new Japanese fighter jet Zero fighter jet had been successfully trial-produced, and it was pulled onto the battlefield and joined the 14th Aviation Team. At noon on September 13, the 14th Aviation Team dispatched aircraft to attack Chongqing on a large scale. When they returned, they found a Chinese Air Force fighter formation chasing over Bishan. The fighter jet formation composed of 30 Zero fighters immediately turned and raised to 6,500 meters high.
, the 3rd Battalion of the Chinese Air Force, the e15 formation of the 4th Battalion and the 30 fighters of the e16 formation that were pursuing. The result of the battle was that Japanese aircraft shot down 13 Chinese fighters, injured 11 fighters for emergency landings, 10 Chinese pilots died, and 8 were injured. Kondo, commander of the 14th Japanese Air Force, immediately announced a 30-0 battle report of shooting down 30 Chinese fighters without any casualties. In this way, Tada Jun knew the combat effectiveness of the Zero fighter jets and immediately requested to transfer the Zero fighter fleet to North China, and no longer worried that the Eighth Route Army Air Force might launch air strikes on the Japanese airport at critical moments.
With these two factors, and thinking that he had already used heavy troops to siege Liu Yimin's democratic forces in central and southern Shandong, Tada Jun began to rush his army to Shanxi, determined to save some face for the North China Front Army on the battlefield in Shanxi.
The Japanese army reproduced the photos of the heads of the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the heads of each division to each infantry team, and printed the rewards for the killing and captive officers of the Eighth Route Army into one page, and sent them to every soldier, hoping to solve the security problems in Shanxi in one battle.
Tada Jun believes that the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi are far inferior to that of Liu Yimin's army in Shandong, and he has the confidence to win.
Liu Yimin knew that the Japanese army launched a large-scale reinforcement of Shanxi, and he wanted this opportunity. Unfortunately, the Japanese army only mobilized the 37th Division, the 41st Division, the 11th Division and the 14th Division in northern Henan, and did not mobilize the Japanese troops around central and southern Shandong, which shows that Tada Jun was always on guard against the sudden attack of the Eighth Route Army in central and southern Shandong. In this way, we have to think carefully about how to fight this battle. The Eighth Route Army can't attack Jiaoji Road, let the Japanese army attack Zhongnan from Longhai Road and Jinpu Road, and capture the Eighth Route Army's rear route?
The purpose of the Battle of Eastern Shandong was two points. One was to cover the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi from the raid to the anti-sweeping war; the other was to annihilate the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops in eastern Shandong.
Before the battle was launched, Liu Yimin thought repeatedly and believed that the Japanese First Chariot Division stationed in Gaomi area. This unit was the killer weapon of the Japanese army. Since joining the Shandong battlefield, it has basically not been attacked by our army and is full of arrogance. As long as our army uses tactics properly and controls the fighting rhythm well, it may completely create an illusion for the Japanese army and attract the Japanese First Chariot Division to cooperate with the 32nd Division and the pseudo-Liwen-Li Ministry to carry out retaliatory attacks on our army. In this way, the 1st Chariot Division may fall into the trap of our preset positions. As long as the 1st Chariot Division faces a catastrophe, the Japanese army will go crazy. Not to mention the 36th Division in Zhoucun area, even the 7th Division in Qingdao may be able to provide reinforcements quickly. Our army can completely expand the results of the battle and further annihilate the Japanese army's vitality.
It is not difficult to get the Japanese First Chariot Division to dispatch reinforcements or assaults. The difficult thing is how to block the rolling wheels of the steel monster and trap it into a preset position and cannot move. This is difficult.
Chaigou is closely connected to the Wulong River to the west, Weihe River to the west, Zhugong River to the east, Jiaohe River to the east, four rivers flow from south to north, which is a natural battlefield for besieging the First Chariot Division. If anti-tank fortifications are assisted, the main force of the Japanese First Chariot Division will likely fall into the pre-set battlefield of our army and cannot move.
Liu Yimin's ideas finally gained the support of Luo Ronghuan, the Central Committee and the headquarters.
This led to the battle to attack Chaigou using special combat tactics.
In order to cooperate with the Battle of Eastern Shandong, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan issued an order for the Battle of Eastern Shandong, ordering the King of Southeast Shandong, Nanhu, Tang Liang, the 12th Column, to launch an active attack on the 2nd Division of the Eastern Section of Longhai Road, the 3rd Division of the chariot, and the 4th Column, the 4th Column, to launch an active attack on the 9th Division of the Southern Shandong, the 3rd Division of the chariot, and the 27th Division of the 2nd Division of the Southern Shandong, the 3rd Division of the 27th Division, and to order the King of the Taiyi Mountain District, Jian'an, and Zhang Haitao, to launch an active attack on the 12th Division of the Japanese army's front line, Zhang Qiu, and the enemy of Tai'an. The combat troops in the above three directions must set up anti-tank positions in advance. When the Japanese counterattack, they must fight step by step, delay the Japanese attack speed, and buy time for the victory of the Battle of Eastern Shandong.
Given that the heavy Japanese troops near Dezhou west of the Yellow River had been transferred to Shanxi and were on their way to march, Liu and Luo ordered Liu Jian, Chen Shiqu and Zhang Hongtao to command the Second Column, the Sixth Column, and the Tenth Column to hide and catch the enemy, and planned to launch an attack on the Jinpu Road from Dezhou to Likou the next night after the war in eastern Shandong. This time, Liu and Luo gave Liu Jian a dead order, and must annihilate a unit-scale unit of the Japanese 40th Division and annihilate a group of puppet North China Security Army.
The third column, the seventh column and the eighth column on the north side of Jiaoji Road had already hidden the enemy. Liu and Luo ordered them to counterattack at Guanzhuang, Jingzhi, Jinggou and Chaigou on the main force of the 32nd Division, to capture Weicheng and Fangzi, and oppress the 32nd Division and the pseudo-Li Wenli Ludong from north to south, and block the escape passage of the Japanese First Chariot Division to the north.
After the main force of the Japanese First Chariot Division was attracted to the Chaigou line, the anti-aircraft artillery was strengthened. The main force of the cavalry brigade of the rocket launcher advanced north along the Jiaohe River, cut off the connection between Jiaoxian and Gaomi, and assumed the passage for the Fengduan First Chariot Division to escape eastward.
Xu Shiyou, Gao Jinchun, located in Jiaodong, seized the opportunity of the main force of Shandong East to annihilate the enemy and launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in Jiaodong, forcing the main force of the 29th Division to not reinforce the battlefield in Shandong East.
In order to achieve the battle goal, the Political Department of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army issued a mobilization order to commanders and soldiers at all levels of the Lunar East Battle, ordering all troops to mobilize urgently. The old Red Army carried out the role of model and took the lead, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of fatigue, and not afraid of death, and made new contributions in the Battle of Eastern Shandong!
The capture of Chaigou cleared the first obstacle for the Eighth Route Army to attack Gaomi.
Just after the Eighth Route Army captured Chaigou, the Fourth Column of the Eighth Route Army, with the cooperation of the Special Operations Command, launched an attack towards Anqiu, directly taking Jingzhi Ancient Town and Guanzhuang, clearing and opening the passage to enter Anqiu County, reaching Fangzi and Weicheng.
After the Third Brigade of the First Column and Li Lingfeng and Tang Xingying met with the special operations team, they wiped out the main force of the Japanese Inoue Brigade who was besieging Chaigou, and then occupied the Japanese defense line. The commander of the Third Brigade Chen Jinxiu immediately ordered the troops to strengthen the fortifications and make preparations for the defending.
Immediately afterwards, the Artillery Brigade and the Air Defense Brigade drove up and set up positions between the Wei River in the west and Jiao River in the east. The core position was between the Jiaogong River and the Wulong River. Chaigou and its surrounding villages became the core fulcrum of the entire defensive position. Liu Yimin wanted to destroy the Japanese First Chariot Division here.
A group of migrant workers came forward, and under the command of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, they cooperated with the troops to build fortifications.
The captured soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Peaceful Building Secret Services of the Pseudo-Ludong East were also thrown into the army of construction fortifications after emergency battlefield transformation education.
Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong led the Military Region Command from Zhucheng to Xiangzhou Town overnight. This place is only a few dozen miles away from Jingzhi Ancient Town, Guanzhuang, Jinggou and Chaigou, which is convenient for command.
All the communication battalions were dispatched, pulling the telephone line overnight, connecting the command center to contact each unit.
"Xiangzhou Street is famous, with the nine yards of Gongde and Zhen Xiaoxiao, stone man, stone horse, stone lion, the emperor personally gave the Southern Imperial Burial, Tang Huai and Song Baiyong records, thousand-year-old pine cones hold the sun, shops along the street are all in large quantities, and there is a school within a radius of hundreds of miles."
This is a poem written by the ancients to praise Xiangzhou Street, which says that Xiangzhou is splendid civilization and culture are brilliant.
This time, Chief Liu and Luo will command the Battle of East Shandong here and write an indelible chapter in the history of Xiangzhou Street.
