The 13th Independent Mixed Brigade was a powerful brigade of the Kwantung Army. After being transferred to Shandong, he did not fight with the Chinese army except for sweeping in the Thai area a few times and doing some beasts that were not even beasts. However, the brigade commander Masafan Morita
The Major General is a long-time general in the army. He has fought with the Volunteer Army and the Anti-Japanese United Army many times in the Northeast, and his tactical qualities are still very high.
Major General Masafan Morita is very clear about the task of stationing Tai'an. First, he is the battle reserve team of the Fifth Division, the 10th Division, and the 16th Division, and is ready to enter the battle at any time. Second, he is to maintain public security in the surrounding areas of Tai'an and serve Jinpu.
The combat in the southern section of the road creates a safe rear. The third is to ensure the smooth flow of the Tai'an section of the Jinpu Road and ensure that the supply of front-line troops can be continuously transported.
Since the establishment of the Communist Party’s Taixi Self-Defense Corps, it has launched attacks on the Japanese one after another. Although it is a small force that has just been pulled up, its weapons, ammunition and military training are seriously insufficient, and its combat effectiveness is limited. It can only kill and injure more than a dozen times each time.
A Japanese even two or three Japanese, with very limited results, but the cunning Major General Masafan Morita has realized the seriousness of the problem. He knows that China has a large land, a wealth of resources, and a great potential for war. If everyone is like the Taixi Self-Defense Corps
If you stand up and resist like that, a torrent will soon form, swallowing the Imperial Army completely. After all, the Imperial Army has limited military strength, and no matter how high the shooting skills and the weapons are, it cannot fill the black hole consumed by war.
Therefore, when receiving the report of the attack on Jieshou Station and the Imperial Army's derailment, Major General Morita Masafan's first reaction was that the damn Communist guerrillas had been destroyed again, because this guerrillas had attacked some time ago.
Jieshou Station killed and injured more than a dozen imperial troops. They were familiar with the environment of Jieshou Station and sneaked into the night. However, this time they were too much and cheated on the Imperial Army.
.The world head is so close to Tai'an City, the guerrillas dare to be so arrogant. They simply regard the brave and fighting independent 13th Brigade as a puppet! It's too much! So Major General Masafan Morita ordered the railway garrison to send an armored train to go
Eliminate sneak attackers, check the damage to the army, and rescue the wounded. At the same time, the 56th Infantry Independence Battalion was also sent to reinforce, hoping to capture all the guerrillas in one place.
Of course, Major General Masafan Morita knew in his heart that it was a bit difficult to destroy the guerrillas at this time. Those guys were probably already running away after succeeding in the sneak attack.
But the following situation made Masahomo Morita feel very troubled. First, the railway garrison post reported that the armored train had a fierce battle with the Chinese army in the direction of the world head, and then the armored train commander lost contact.
Major General Masafan Morita was puzzled. There was no main force of the Chinese army around Tai'an. Even if there was one, they would not be able to compete with the armored train. Masafan Morita asked the Chief of Staff to roam the telephone over and over again in the headquarters and ordered the radio station to keep going.
The ground sent a report to the commander of the armored train, but unfortunately the other party was like a dumb and never replied a word again.
When Major General Masafan Morita realized that something had happened to the armored train, the 56th Infantry Brigade sent to Jieshou Station to reinforce had arrived. The brigade leader knew the rules very well and soon sent a report to Major General Masafan Morita.
However, the telegram was short: "I encountered a blow to the extremely powerful Chinese army at Jieshou Station, with serious casualties. I am now using the railway line to defend it. I beg your brigade commander to provide urgent tactical guidance."
Now, Major General Masafan Morita could not sit still, thinking that the Chinese army had detoured from the Taishan Mountains, and it was likely to be about to cut off the Jinpu Railway and interfere with the southern section of the Jinpu Road of the Imperial Army. He immediately ordered the infantry to be independent of 57
The brigade, independent cavalry brigade, and independent artillery brigade gathered urgently to reinforce the Infantry Independent 56th Battalion. They also ordered the railway garrison stationed in Wande and the Infantry Independent 58th Battalion to quickly reinforce the Jinshou and attack the Chinese army.
In this way, Major General Masafan Morita felt that it was not thorough enough and directly sent a report to Lieutenant General Nishio Suzuo, the commander of the Second Army, saying that the army that transported the vanguard of the 114th Division was sneak attacked by Chinese troops at Jieshou Station and sent to support.
The armored train has lost contact, and now he is leading the main force of the brigade to reinforce. He requested the commander to instruct Zhang Xia's 108th Division troops to prepare for reinforcements.
After sending the telegram, Major General Masafan Morita led his troops out of Tai'an City and rushed towards the world head in a mighty manner.
After Zhang Haitao and Zhao Zhiyu discovered the lights of the 56th Battalion of the Japanese Infantry, they immediately led their troops to hide at Jieshou Station and the village, preparing to work hard to eliminate the reinforcements of the Japanese. Unfortunately, since the instructor's successive victory, the Japanese have
Commanders at all levels have greatly improved their vigilance. This is how the Japanese captain came to reinforce. He heard the sound of gunfire at Jieshou Station from afar. At first, he thought the armored convoy was destroying the guerrillas, and he kept urging the driver to hurry up.
Hurry up, hurry up, but then I soon heard the sound of guns and cannons, nor could I see the cannonballs. The tracer generated when the bullets crossed the night sky. The Japanese captain immediately became suspicious and approached Jieshou Village.
At that time, he decisively ordered the convoy to stop. After thinking for a while, he ordered an armored vehicle to take the lead and cover a small team of Japanese soldiers to search and investigate. He led four squadron soldiers and dragged the brigade of infantry artillery to touch the railway directly.
Artillery and heavy machine gun positions were established near the station to prepare to support the station's operations.
The Japanese armored vehicles drove into Jieshou Station and naturally found an armored train that was beaten into wreckage. The machine guns on the armored vehicles began to strafuse around to conduct fire reconnaissance, and the accompanying infantry squad soldiers also turned into combat formations to search. See if there was no
When he encountered a counterattack, the infantry squad leader fired a signal flare and notified the brigade to catch up. He took the soldiers and checked the damage to the armored train while being alerted.
After seeing the signal flare, the Japanese captain ordered the car soldiers to drive all the cars into the platform, leaving two squadrons to protect the artillery and heavy machine gun positions, act as reserve teams, and led the other two squadrons to enter Jieshou Station along the railway.
The Japanese convoy came up, and cars drove into the station one by one. The lights illuminated the station and also illuminated the tragic situation of the armored train and the army in the distance.
When the Japanese Captain arrived with two squadron reinforcements, the armored train and the wreckage of the army in the distance were caught. The Japanese Captain shouted Baga and commanded the troops to disperse and conduct a comprehensive search.
At this moment, the firepower strike of the Eighth Route Army's eastward advancing detachment began.
Zhang Haitao originally wanted to attract all the Japanese reinforcements and bury the Japanese with firepower. He did not expect that the Japanese were so cunning that the cars they drove in were empty. Fortunately, it was not long, and a team of Japanese came along the railway to see how many people were.
There are also three or four hundred people, and that's all, and it's not in vain that Lao Zhang led his team here to live for so long.
If you don’t fire, the Japanese may find hidden troops. Zhang Haitao said to Yang Shuren, the artillery company commander beside him: "Remember to kill the Japanese armored vehicle with one shot. After you kill, you will be the artillery battalion commander of the Eastward Detachment."
Seeing Yang Shuren nodding hard, Zhang Haitao raised his hand and bent over a gun, and knocked over the Japanese who was searching for the artillery position with a ghost head and mind. At the same time as the gunshots, he also shouted "Tao"
The flat-fire cannons on the artillery position immediately opened fire, and an armor-piercing bomb shot straight into the armored vehicle. With a bang, the armored vehicle turned into a ball of fire.
In an instant, all the heavy machine guns and mortars of the East Advance Detachment hidden to the west of the station opened fire, and bullets and shells flew straight towards the Japanese, and the Japanese standing were lying on the ground soon.
These Japanese are worthy of being from the Kwantung Army and are indeed well-trained. After encountering a blow, they immediately rolled off the platform and used the platform to hide their bodies and began to shoot against the Eighth Route Army. However, the East Advance Detachment was hidden farther away.
It was night again, where could I get a rifle?
After the first round of attacks, there were no Japanese standing on the platform. The artillery company of the eastward detachment turned to the Japanese cars and opened fire, causing the cars to burn.
The Japanese artillery soldiers immediately retaliated when they saw the Chinese army artillery fire and destroyed the armored vehicles. After measuring the coordinates of the two 92 infantry artillery, they fired together to bombard the Eighth Route Army artillery positions. Two shells flew over and immediately exploded and killed and injured.
Five or six soldiers and artillery companies hurriedly moved their positions, concentrated their own infantry artillery and mortars to attack the Japanese artillery.
When forming the East Advance Detachment, the troops drawn were all elites of the instructors. The First Education Brigade, the Second Education Brigade, and the Third Education Brigade each drew one battalion. The Guard Regiment drew the Second and Supplementary Battalions, other artillery, engineers, cavalry, and heavy
The machine gunners are all key companies. Just now, the armored vehicles of the Japanese were knocked out with one shot. The artillery company commander was thinking that he could expand into an artillery battalion when he went back. Unexpectedly, five or six soldiers were lost in the two guns of the Japanese artillery. These soldiers could
They are all fighting backbone. Therefore, after the position was transferred, the artillery company commander Yang Shuren vented all his anger on the Japanese artillery position and concentrated his firepower to beat the Japanese artillery. This time, not only did the Japanese artillery hover, but also protected the artillery.
The Japanese in the two squadrons of the position also fought and were killed and injured. They hurriedly retreated along the railway for a distance to avoid artillery fire.
The Japanese captain had rich combat experience. When Zhang Haitao's gunshots, he lay down on the ground, rolled and rolled under the platform. When he looked up, he saw that the soldiers on the platform were hit by heavy machine guns and mortars from the Chinese army.
It was so scattered that the machine gunners retreated to the platform were rushing to shoot, covering the troops retreating along the railway.
The East Advance Detachment began to pursue. The soldiers of the two battalions did not fire a few shots in one night, and they were basically talking with heavy firepower, so they could not bear it anymore. Seeing the ghosts retreat, they naturally launched a pursuit, one by one.
The combat squad and the combat team rushed towards the Japanese with the help of terrain cover.
When the Chinese army attack formation was seen, the Japanese captain was in a state of chaos. He had already thought that he had encountered the elite of the Chinese army, but he did not expect that he was so elite. Those soldiers were basically in groups of three people, one person advanced and two people covered, and the tactics were
The movements are extremely sophisticated, moving, slippery, and rolling, like playing tricks, dazzling and unable to aim at it at all. Often, the Imperial Army soldier fired a shot, but he had not hit the attacker.
He was killed by two soldiers who served as cover. The most terrifying thing is that behind each team, there were machine guns, mortars and grenade launchers, and the machine gun firepower of the Imperial Army could be removed anytime and anywhere.
The Japanese captain did not hesitate and ordered everyone to retreat quickly and meet with the two squadrons who were the cover.
After this order, the Japanese soldiers started the escape race. The heavy machine guns and grenade launchers were thrown down, all rolled down the roadbed, their butts were backward, their legs swung quickly, and they ran south along the east side of the railway.
.
It was not until the two squadrons who were covering and reorganized the dense firepower network that the Japanese captain breathed a sigh of relief. However, as soon as the number of people was checked, the Japanese captain was so angry that he almost passed away. This trip to the world
The first trip to the station lost more than 200 people, as well as armored vehicles and all cars.
Seeing that the loss was too great, the Japanese captain quickly sent a telegram to the brigade commander for help. After sending a telegram, he was worried that the brigade commander would trust the combat effectiveness of his troops too much. The rescue was late, so the Japanese captain sent another telegram with sincere words.
: "The army was blown up, and the Imperial Warriors on the train were believed to have been broken. The armored train was broken into wreckage, and our unit lost a quarter of its combat effectiveness. We are eager for the tactical guidance of the brigade commander."
Seeing that the Japanese had stabilized their positions, Zhang Haitao immediately ordered the pursuit to stop. All the troops retreated to Jieshou Station to clean up the battlefield and reported the battle situation to the division headquarters.
At this time, the team transporting supplies was passing through Jinpu Road. Cai Zhong and Zeng Zhongsheng called back and ordered the Eastward Detachment to hold on for another hour, trying to attract and mobilize the enemy as much as possible, and then transfer the camera.
After receiving the order, Zhang Haitao felt that the terrain of Jieshou Station was narrow. If the Japanese troops surrounded him, they had to consider how to break through. It was very troublesome. Besides, the seized guns and ammunition must be taken away! After thinking about it, Zhang Haitao ordered the engineers to rank.
The station set up several explosive packs, lay the detonation leads, and set up thunders under the corpses of the Japanese. Then, the troops were ordered to bring the remains of the martyrs and the wounded, evacuate from the Jieshou Station, and set up positions on the mountain, preparing to send the Japanese a little more time to evacuate.
.
Major General Masafan Morita suddenly realized something was wrong after leaving the city. This Chinese army made a big fuss, fighting lively, attacking stations, bombing troops, and blocking infantry independence.
Judging from their results, the 56th Brigade must be equipped with a large number of explosive packs and flat-fired cannons with armored shells, otherwise they would not be able to deal with the armored train.
Logically speaking, the Chinese army rarely equipped flat-fire cannons. It may be that after they bombed the army, they used the flat-fire cannons and armor-piercing shells on the army. However, they will use the flat-fire cannons, which is definitely not simple, which means that this Chinese army
There are professional artillery soldiers, and they are well-trained and experienced professional artillery soldiers. In this way, the scale of this army should be very large. Only in this way can they dare to set up ambushes again and again at Jieshou Station.
Now the problem is here. Since they are well-equipped and huge in scale, why not directly eliminate the 56th Independent Brigade?
After thinking about it, Major General Masafan Morita felt that the Chinese army could only have three reasons for the action of the leader of the army: First, the commander of this unit was self-reliable in combat and wanted to continuously expand the results of the leader of the leader. He wanted to use the 56th team to fish, wait
He led the reinforcements to arrive, and it might be when he closed the net. Second, this unit is a specially organized unit with strong firepower and complete special forces, but limited force, so he is unwilling to fight against the 56th Brigade. Third,
It is because this army has greater plans in the operation of the World Head, which is to cover the actions of other troops, and they are playing the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain or hitting the east and attacking the west.
As for this idea, Major General Morita Masafan was unwilling to go forward and sent a report to the 59th Brigade, the baggage brigade and the engineer brigade who were left in Tai'an, ordering all soldiers to get up and gather, guard the city defense strictly, and ordering the 59th Brigade to the 59th Brigade, the baggage brigade, and ordering the 59th Brigade to get up and gather.
The brigade captain immediately contacted all the strongholds and troops south of Tai'an, especially the 60th Independent Brigade to check if there was any situation.
This inquiry really investigated and dealt with the problem. The captain of the 60th brigade reported that there was a problem with the Beijipo stronghold. Because the soldier who called back had a wrong accent, he asked him to find the team leader. He actually reported that the team leader was here to maintain the president's house.
I haven't returned after drinking. The war is urgent now. As the second lieutenant captain who graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, it is impossible for me to leave my post.
At this moment, Major General Masafan Morita understood that the Chinese army must have made big moves in the south of Tai'an, and the Chinese restraining troops in the world must be the ones who are in charge, and the scale must be small. He immediately ordered the 60th battalion to attack north along the railway.
Investigate and find out what happened between Beijipo and Dawenkou. Order the 59th Brigade who stayed in Tai'an to quickly leave the city and attack Beijipo to strive to meet with the 60th Brigade, Tai'an Defense Transfers the Bailout Brigade, and the Engineer
The brigade and the Imperial Army were in charge. The 58th Infantry Independent Battalion and the Railway Guard were ordered to move south quickly, and to attack the first station with the 56th Battalion to completely eliminate the troubled Chinese troops.
After sending the telegram, Major General Masafan Morita led the 57th Independent Battalion, the Independent Artillery Brigade, and the Independent Cavalry Brigade immediately turned and rushed to Beijipo. He wanted to see what the Chinese army was doing there.
Zhang Haitao never dreamed that he ordered three battalions, cavalry companies, baggage companies, and engineering companies to retreat first, resulting in too weak troops and unable to encircle and annihilate the cunning independent 56th infantry brigade, and actually allowed the old independent to form the 13th Brigade.
The commander of the brigade, Major General Masafan Morita, saw the clues and ignored Jieshou Station and led the main force to turn south to reinforce Beijipo. At this moment, he was commanding his troops at the foot of Mount Tai to look down at a small hill at Jieshou Station.
Set up positions on it, and plan to wait for the Japanese troops to come up and knock it hard to attract Japanese to attack, fight a beautiful blocking battle under the mountain, and then retreat.
The captured artillery and heavy machine guns have already exerted their power in the battle just now, so the soldiers naturally want to transport them. Now, the artillery company commander Yang Shuren is commanding the soldiers to fix the artillery position and calculate the shooting range. In the words of Yang Shuren
He said that he wanted to make sure that no matter where the Japanese hide in Jieshou Station, they would blow it up so much that their parents cried.
