After receiving a request for help from the Dawenkou garrison reporting that they were under attack, Major General Mizuno Nobu, commander of the 10th independent mixed brigade, felt a chill in his heart. He knew that he was listening to Lieutenant General King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace.
He ordered all the infantry brigade stationed in Dawenkou to go to Beiteng Village to search and raid, which was considered as selling Dawenkou.
At the thought of being held accountable, Major General Nobu Mizuno felt his scalp tightening, wishing that he had never given the order for the Dawenkou garrison to dispatch. Now, he was sitting in the headquarters, with stars in his eyes and thoughts all over his mind.
It was a constantly shaking picture. Sometimes it was the corpses of the imperial army on the ground near Beiteng Village. Sometimes it was the desperate faces of the railway garrison soldiers who were left guarding Dawenkou. Sometimes it was the destroyed railway, and sometimes it was the collapsed railway.
Wenhe Railway Bridge. These images kept overlapping and changing in Major General Mizuno Nobu's mind, making his head as big as a bucket. Only then did he understand why such an elite Kwantung Army's independent 13th Brigade regarded Tai'an as if it were dead.
, they rushed back to Jinan as soon as they were defeated.
Frustration is frustration, irritability is irritation, but the Dawenkou matter still needs to be dealt with, but how to deal with it must be seriously considered, otherwise it will cause big trouble. According to Major General Mizuno Nobu's arrogant temper, it must be done immediately
Lead the troops to attack Dawenkou and annihilate Tubal Road in Dawenkou. But you have to have capital to do business. Without capital, anything you say is empty talk. The current independent mixed tenth brigade was not fully equipped when it was first formed.
The tenth brigade was formed independently. Two infantry brigades were lost at Dawenkou twice. After the full battle, there were still three infantry brigades. Including the artillery, engineers, cavalry, and baggage troops attached to the brigade, there were more than 4,000 people.
At the same time, it is also responsible for the security tasks of railways and highway transportation lines that are dozens of kilometers in the north and south of Tai'an. If we attack Dawenkou, we will definitely not be able to do it without a small number of troops. If they are all out, who will protect these transportation lines?
Woolen cloth?
What would happen if we did not attack Dawenkou and recapture Dawenkou? This question cannot be thought about. Major General Mizuno Nobu shuddered when he thought about it. Because he knew that the main force of the Japanese army was outflanking Xuzhou with the goal of annihilating the Chinese government troops in Xuzhou.
The main force, an army of 200,000, is fighting on the front line. The fishermen in Hokkaido all know what it means to interrupt the Jinpu Railway at this time, let alone those military officials who want to occupy the entire China? There is no need for peace at this time, if you can't let it go
Jinpu Road is reopened to traffic. It is estimated that within three days, the military police will directly take him to a military court.
After much deliberation, Major General Nobu Mizuno ordered the troops stationed in Jieshou, Tai'an, and Beijipo to assemble and stand by. At the same time, he sent a report to the commander of the Second Army, Lieutenant General Dongjiurgong Nianyan Wang, and the report was received at Dawenkou.
The defenders asked for help, but have now cut off contact and asked for instructions on how to respond.
This telegram to Major General Mizuno Nobu was very thoughtful. He did not directly talk about the fall of Dawenkou, nor how to deal with it. Instead, he said that contact with the Dawenkou garrison was lost, so as to avoid the anger of King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace.
Then, put all the blame on him and use him as a scapegoat. In this way, there is room for relaxation, at least there is a buffer time to find out the situation, that is, King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace wants to deal with him.
He also has a chance to find someone to intercede. Another meaning is to kick the ball to King Higashikata Nimuhiko. Whether to go to reinforce or not to reinforce, Higashikata Nishiko is the commander of the Second Army.
Lieutenant General Wang decided that that guy was from the royal family. The tree was big and had deep roots, and could withstand any storm.
Sure enough, Lieutenant General Nizhihiko Higashikata was furious as soon as he received the telegram from Major General Mizuno Nobu. He directly ordered the chief of staff, Major General Suzuki, led by Major General Mizuno Nobu, to send a message to Major General Mizuno Nobu, ordering the entire 10th independent mixed brigade to dispatch and must recapture it.
Dawenkou ensures the smooth flow of the Jinpu Line.
Major General Suzuki was sent by Lieutenant General Nisio Hiszo to deal with the attack on Kaishou Station last time. The bloody scene at Kaishou Station still remained in his mind. There was always a mysterious and powerful force near Tai'an.
I have always been wary of the appearance of the Chinese army. When I heard Lieutenant General Nian Yan of Dongjiur Palace give such a hasty order, my scalp went numb. He cautiously suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you want to order the troops stationed in Yanzhou to cooperate in the attack?"
Dawenkou? It’s night now, General Shoudai in the temple has issued a ban, strictly prohibiting our troops from operating at night.”
As soon as Lieutenant General Higashino Higashihiko heard Suzuki's suggestion, he felt a sudden shock in his heart. That's right, what if there is another accident? He couldn't just come to the Second Army as the commander.
If you make a joke, others will look down upon you!
I thought it was the same thing in my heart, but I was still very tough in my mouth. Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Tojiur Palace directly reprimanded Major General Suzuki and led him: "What is the ban imposed by General Juichi Terauchi? The military situation is now very fierce. Our troops on the Xuzhou front line
We are fighting day and night. If the Jinpu Road is interrupted, we think that our army will lose ammunition and supplies. It is very dangerous! Night fighting itself is the strength of the Imperial Japanese Army. Could it be that the independent mixed tenth brigade will not recapture Dawen just because it is night?
Mouth?"
After reprimanding Major General Suzuki Ledao, Lieutenant General King Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace softened his tone and said: "Of course, it is necessary to let the garrison in the direction of Yanzhou and Jining cooperate in the attack on Dawenkou. However, it is necessary for the garrison stationed in Yanzhou to cooperate with the attack on Dawenkou.
The main force of the 14th Division has moved south to attack Xuzhou, and Yanzhou is also very empty. I think the 13th independent mixed brigade that is going to be sent to Linyi can be postponed and allowed to turn around on the spot and go directly north from Zaozhuang.
, attacked Dawenkou from both sides. Those who captured Dawenkou were only the Tubal guerrillas who emerged from the Yimeng Mountains. A few months ago, these people were just farmers carrying hoes. They fought without rules and fought with large numbers of people. There were
Two independent mixed brigades are attacking from the north and the south. Even Tubal cannot run away, and they will be wiped out quickly."
Suzuki Ledao actually wanted to remind Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Tojiur Palace that it is not easy for the Tuba Road to destroy an infantry brigade of the Imperial Army in one fell swoop. You must know that an infantry brigade will not suffer against a miscellaneous division of the Chinese army.
Based on this algorithm, how many soldiers and horses should be on Tubal Road in Yimeng Mountain? Besides, the walls of Dawenkou Town are strong and the garrison fortifications are complete. How can Tubal Road be conquered?
There were many questions. But after looking at the arrogant face of Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace, Major General Suzuki swallowed his saliva, said "Hai", and went to send a telegram.
When sending the telegram, Suzuki thought about it and felt that he could not be on the same level as Lieutenant General Prince Nianhiko of the Higashikata Palace. He was a member of the royal family, and no one could do anything about him if something happened. When the time came, in order to save face, he might even
They will find a scapegoat, and this scapegoat is most likely Major General Nobu Mizuno, commander of the 10th independent brigade. If Major General Nobu Mizuno is shattered like Major General Tsuchiya Hōma, then I am afraid he will be the scapegoat.
At this time, in order to facilitate the command of the Battle of Xuzhou, Lieutenant General Naozaburo Okabe, Chief of Staff of the North China Front, established a headquarters in Jinan to coordinate and command the operations of the North China Front in the Battle of Xuzhou. Major General Suzuki led the army since he did not want to be a scapegoat, and he did not want to fight with
The commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Nian Yanwang of Dongjiur Palace, was very verbose. After sending the telegram, he went directly to the Jinan headquarters of the North China Front and urgently asked to see Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe.
Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe listened to Major General Suzuki's report and felt that Suzuki's considerations were reasonable, so he directly called Lieutenant General Higashino Nurihiko and asked him to immediately order the independent mixed tenth brigade to stop
March towards Dawenkou overnight, and wait until dawn for the aviation force to conduct a thorough reconnaissance before deciding how to recapture Dawenkou.
Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Higashijiur Palace did not buy the account of Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe, saying that the military situation on the front line was very tense and the Jinpu Railway could not be interrupted for one day, otherwise who would bear the consequences? Let the independent tenth brigade go south.
The 13th independent mixed brigade went north and attacked from the north and south. Not to mention Tubal Road, Chiang Kai-shek's most elite force, the Tang Army Corps, was here. Two independent mixed brigade groups could easily defeat it.
In the end, Lieutenant General Higashino Higashihiko even told Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo that this must have been reported by Major General Suzuki. He did not like such a chief of staff, so he decided to report to the base camp and request that the third officer be replaced.
The Chief of Staff of the Second Army, Major General Suzuki, can stay at the front army headquarters to help, and there is no need to return to the Second Army Headquarters.
Not only was Naosaburo Okabe unable to command Lieutenant General Tokyuriya Nikihiko, but he also made it impossible for the Chief of Staff of the Second Army, led by Major General Suzuki, to be able to serve as commander.
All the women in the family greeted each other and hung up the phone directly to General Juichi Terauchi in Peiping, asking the commander to directly intervene in the combat command of Lieutenant General Nian Yanwang of the Second Army Tojiur Palace. Unexpectedly, after the call was connected, the headquarters
The staff officer on duty reported that the Commander was enjoying a Peking Opera performance with a group of people from the Provisional Government of the Republic of China. Lieutenant General Okabe Naozaburo directly ordered the staff officer on duty to report to the Commander immediately and ask him to return to the headquarters to listen to the report.
Recently, the Japanese army has been progressing smoothly on the Xuzhou battlefield, and the Great Turnaround Strategy is about to achieve substantial results. General Terauchi Toshiichi is very proud. In addition, Wang Kemin of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China reported that the China United Reserve Bank has been operating well since its opening, and its branches in various places are as scheduled.
The opening has been initially recognized by the market. General Juichi Templeuchi felt more and more proud that he accepted Wang Kemin's invitation and went to enjoy the Peking Opera performance in the evening.
Of course, General Terauchi Juichi's move had a deeper meaning. On March 28, the Central China Front, also known as the Central China Front by the Japanese, established the pseudo "Reformation Government of the Republic of China" in Nanjing with the traitor Liang Hongzhi as the executive president.
, under the jurisdiction of the three provincial governments of Jiangsu, Anhui, and Zhejiang and the two special municipal governments of Shanghai and Nanjing. General Touichi Terauchi was very dissatisfied with this matter, thinking that it was because the Central China Front Army saw that the North China Front Army supported the Provisional Government of the Republic of China.
Suffering from pink eye, he competed with the North China Front Army for the actual control of China's central government. Therefore, Terauchi Juichi decided to attend Wang Kemin's drama special party in a high-profile manner to express the attitude of the North China Front Army.
On the stage, actors were singing happily, and in the audience, Wang Kemin, Qi Kuiyuan and other traitors were fawning. General Shoudai Temple felt like he had returned to the feudal era of the pre-Qing Dynasty, as if all the people were living.
The purpose is to flatter yourself, as if you can change a person's destiny just by sneezing. This feeling of being a conqueror, feeling like an emperor is really great!
General Touichi Terauchi, who was filled with joy, was enjoying the performance on the stage while reaching out to explore Masako's kimono carefully. His face was full of smiles, and he looked like a Japanese lord from the Edo period wearing a kimono.
.
Temple Shouichi was about to turn around and tell Wang Kemin to send the enchanting actress to the headquarters after the show, when he saw the adjutant walking in in a hurry.
After listening to the adjutant's whispering report, General Terauchi Touichi reluctantly glanced at the charming Danjiao on the stage, and then gently twisted Masako's sensitive parts, teasing Masako so much that she couldn't help but moan.
The general then laughed, got up and returned to the headquarters.
After returning to the headquarters, I got through the call from Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe and heard about the deployment of Lieutenant General Higashijiur Palace Nakihiko's order to form an independent tenth brigade to attack Dawenkou overnight. General Touichi Terauchi said
He yelled "Baga!"
After scolding, General Touichi Terauchi went straight to the map, climbed up to it and examined it carefully.
At this time, General Shoudai Temple actually had great doubts in his heart whether the main force of Liu Yimin's instructors was still in southern Hebei and western Shandong. Because of the successive battles on Jinpu Road that eliminated the main force of the independent 13th Brigade, the theft of Dawenkou Airport
In the Battle of Dawenkou by Airplane, the elimination of Major General Tsuchiya and Liu Heiqi, and the Battle of Xiazhuang by Zhang Buyun, not a single imperial soldier escaped alive. This kind of tactics is too similar to the tactics of instructor Liu Yimin.
It’s so weird that I can’t help but General Touichi in the temple didn’t think more about it.
Originally, each of these three battles reminded General Juichi Terauchi of Liu Yimin, but because the information obtained had nothing to do with Liu Yimin, Juichi Terauchi temporarily gave up his suspicion and kept urging Major General Seiichi Kita to find out the movements of Liu Yimin's troops as soon as possible. As a result,
Kita Seiichi reported that the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei was Lin Biao's unit of the 115th Division, and that the troops in southern Hebei claimed to be Liu Yimin's instructors, but this was highly doubtful because the investigators did not see the armored vehicles, tanks and cars of the southern Hebei army. Lu Xi
It is indeed Liu Yimin's army, and it is Liu Yimin's most elite army. The weapons and equipment are different from those of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei and southern Hebei.
Such information made Shouichi Terauchi a little suspicious, because he knew that Liu Yimin's instructors were strong, and the Eighth Route Army was accustomed to taking advantage of fierce battles between the imperial army and Chiang Kai-shek's government troops to send troops to mobilize the people and seize territory. No one could guarantee whether Liu Yimin would return.
In southern Hebei or western Shandong, this guy might have escaped long ago and went to Shandong to hide and seek with the imperial army.
In fact, General Shoudai in the temple most hoped that Liu Yimin's instructor would still be hiding in Jinan and Luxi to rest. In that case, when the army completes the Battle of Xuzhou, it can return to the army and annihilate them all. General Shoudai in the temple even thought that as long as Liu Yimin
Staying honestly in Jinan and Luxi means cooperating with the imperial army, even if it means giving your little daughter or granddaughter to Liu Yimin for him to enjoy. Unfortunately, Liu Yimin is stubborn and refuses to cooperate with the imperial army.
Negotiation. This stupid Kita Makoto still can’t figure out where Liu Yimin is. How can the troops advance and suppress him?
After thinking about it, General Shou Dai in the temple felt that no matter where Liu Yimin and his instructors were now, one thing was certain, that is, there was danger in the Dawenkou area, and this fool, Lieutenant General Nian Yan of Dongjiur Palace
Daring to disobey his own prohibition is not only a challenge to his own authority, but also very likely to ruin the independent tenth brigade. Since Tubal Road can swallow up an infantry brigade in such a short period of time, it has the ability to deal with only
An independent composite of three infantry brigades formed the 10th Brigade.
Terauchi Juichi no longer hesitated, and ordered the call to be connected to the Second Army Headquarters, and directly insulted Lieutenant General Togurugiya Ninuhiko.
Lieutenant General Yan Wang immediately withdrew his order to send an independent mixed tenth brigade to attack Dawenkou overnight, and would make a decision after daybreak.
General Terauchi Juichi did not know that during this period, Major General Mizuno Shino left two garrison squadrons and a battalion of puppet troops to guard Jinan, and led the main force to quickly go south to attack Dawenkou. General Terauchi Juichi did not know either.
At this time, Tai'an City had fallen into the hands of the 1st Instructor Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
Since the First Teaching Brigade went south to southwest Shandong, it has been developing in a state of concealment according to Liu Yimin's order. The battles they fought were all small and small. Today there is a small team to clean up, and tomorrow there will be another small team to clean up. The cadres and soldiers all feel like this
Using the Teaching Brigade is simply a waste of elite troops.
After receiving Liu Yimin's order, the 1st Teaching Brigade quickly gathered its troops and headed north. However, the 1st Teaching Brigade was highly mechanized, so marching during the day was bound to be discovered by the Japanese. If you marched at night with your headlights on, it would be okay to walk in the base area, but it would be easier to leave the base area.
Being detected by the Japanese and traitors, Gao Yuan had no choice but to slow down his marching speed, hurry up and hurry up, and finally arrived near Tai'an according to the time requirement.
After arriving at the destination and joining the Hu Huhu Cavalry Brigade, Gaoyuan sent a reconnaissance company to conduct reconnaissance near Tai'an and closely monitored the movements of the Tai'an defenders. Later, they contacted the underground party in the city, and the situation became more clear.
Waiting for the attack order.
It's ridiculous that Major General Mizuno Nobu didn't know that the God of Death was lurking around him, and he dared to order the Japanese brigade stationed in Dawenkou to search and sweep Beiteng. Moreover, he dared to carry out the order of Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace and put him to death.
After handing over the garrison task of Tai'an to the Railway Garrison and the Imperial Association Army, he led the main force out of Tai'an and marched toward Dawenkou overnight, leaving an empty Tai'an city for people to eat.
At this time, if we do not take the opportunity to capture Tai'an, the 1st Teaching Brigade will be called the first-class main force of the teaching division in vain, and Gaoyuan will not be worthy of commanding such a powerful force.
