After leaving Zhang Zili to lead the Tai'an Detachment 1st Regiment to capture Dawenkou, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong led their troops all the way north to set up a bag-shaped ambush position in the Beidawu area between Dawenkou and Beijipo, waiting for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive.
.
Dawenkou is only 20 to 30 miles away from Beijipo, and the transportation is very convenient. After the Battle of Jinpu Road and the Battle of Dawenkou, most of the people in this area participated in destroying the railway and transporting supplies.
activities, knowing that there is a large army hidden in the Culai Mountain behind him that can easily wipe out thousands of Japanese soldiers, I am no longer afraid of Japanese soldiers. Therefore, the Tai'an detachment developed east of Jinpu Road, the cavalry brigade, and the local armed forces in the western Tai'an area.
The development of Jinpu Road in the west has made the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement flourish on both sides of the Tai'an section of Jinpu Road.
As soon as the main force came up, the reconnaissance company quickly contacted the guerrillas, and the reconnaissance post was placed north of Beijipo.
After finally seeing the shadow of the Japanese reinforcements, the scouts kept passing the news back. The artillery brigade commander Li Changzhi rubbed his hands and hurriedly directed the artillery to raise the muzzle high, waiting for the Japanese to come and serve food.
No one could have imagined that after the Japanese reinforcements entered Beijipo Town, they took a short rest and returned the same way. Seeing that Kong was having a good time, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong had to send a telegram to Liu Yimin, reporting that the ambush plan had failed and the Japanese army had failed.
Return to Tai'an via the original route. If you pursue it, you may not be able to catch up. Liu Yimin called back to inform Zeng Zhongsheng that the 1st Teaching Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade have attacked Tai'an and are waiting in line in the south of Tai'an City. The little Japanese escaped this disaster but cannot escape the next. Liu Yimin asked Zeng Zhongsheng,
Cai Zhong immediately mobilized his troops and fellow villagers to tear down the railway with great fanfare, attracting the help of the Japanese from Beijipo and annihilating them. After the battle, all the railways from Dawenkou to Tai'an were stripped bare, and all the rails were transported back to the mountains and given to the army.
The factory makes raw materials. Special attention should be paid to focusing on the Da Wen River Railway Bridge. The railway bridge must be destroyed so that the Japanese cannot use the Jinpu Railway to transport baggage and soldiers for a period of time. After completing the task, the Tai'an detachment will rely on the Cu Lai
Develop the base area in the mountainous area and defend the central base area of Yimeng. The division-directed troops immediately went north and concentrated at the designated location for the Battle of Central Shandong.
After reading the telegram, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong knew that the 1st Teaching Brigade was well prepared and that the Japs were always dead, so they were relieved. They immediately ordered the engineering regiment accompanying the troops to take the lead in advancing towards Beijipo.
Four or five miles away from Beiji Slope, torches were set up to destroy the road on a large scale, attracting Japanese attacks. The artillery brigade, the artillery brigade infantry regiment, the air defense brigade, and the baggage regiment were ordered to set up positions on both sides of the engineer regiment's broken road to eliminate them.
The enemy attacked Beijipo. Zhang Haitao was ordered to lead the 2nd Regiment of Tai'an Tai'an Detachment and the 3rd Regiment to conceal themselves in Beijipo and take advantage of the enemy's attack to capture Beijipo. After that, the whole army turned to Dapo Road.
Major General Mizuno Nobu was also a very capable general. When he left Beijipo, considering that Beijipo was close to Dawenkou and would be vulnerable to attack, he strengthened the strength of the garrison at Beijipo so that it could reach
The strength of a brigade. When he thought about it, with the strength of a brigade, it would be no problem to defend Beijipo. You know, when the Segu detachment of the 10th Division began to attack Taierzhuang, it was a brigade of infantry.
A part of the cavalry, artillery and two tanks continued to attack Taierzhuang for several days. Although in the end all the Setani detachment pressed forward and the entire army was basically wiped out, that was because the Chinese concentrated hundreds of thousands of troops to deal with it.
A brigade of the 10th Division also proved from another aspect the tyranny of the imperial army and the low combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. As for what happened in Dawenkou this afternoon, Mizuno Nobu firmly believed that it was the commander of the Second Army Dong Dong.
The blind command of Lieutenant General Jiurgong Nianyan ruined a brigade of the imperial army. If he had not gone to clear up and retaliate against Beiteng Village, there would not have been an ambush by the Zhongtu Eighth Route Army, and a brigade of troops would have been stationed at Dawenkou and borrowed soil.
Even if there are a hundred courages on the Eighth Route Army, they would not dare to attack Dawenkou, which has a strong wall.
Of course, at this time, although Major General Mizuno Nobu took the responsibility for granted on Lieutenant General Nian Yanwang of Tojiur Palace, he could not forget the last time the main force of the independent mixed 13th Brigade was annihilated and Dawenkou was captured.
However, he has always believed that the first two incidents were caused by the main force of the national army secretly moving northward in Lunan. In his opinion, there are no organized Chinese troops around Tai'an, only a few
The guerrillas of the Chinese who are unwilling to be slaves to the country's subjugation are more accurately described as bandits. As long as the imperial army eliminates the main force of Chiang Kai-shek's regular army, these bandit guerrillas will rush to ask the imperial army to recruit them. China's history has long proved that
got this point.
Major General Mizuno Nobu, who was riding swaying on his horse, was thinking about his thoughts as he walked. As he thought about it, he thought about the second fall of Dawenkou. He felt that no matter what, he might really be unlucky this time.
The Yituba Road has also learned to destroy the railway, and interrupting the Jinpu Road for a period of time may affect the Xuzhou Battle. No matter how I explain it, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the end of being a scapegoat. It seems that after returning to Tai'an, I have to hurry up
I want to write a report on the Dawenkou battle first, and then defend myself first.
Major General Nobu Mizuno, who was in a complicated mood, was awakened by the Chief of Staff. For no other reason than intensive gunfire came from the direction of Beijipo.
Major General Mizuno Shinobu woke up and looked up. In the distance, he could already see the scattered lights of the dark Tai'an city in front of him, indicating that he was about to go home. At this time, the dense noise coming from Beijipo
What does the sound of gunfire mean? Could it be that the damn Tuba Road got so bold that it dared to attack Beijipo?
Major General Nobu Mizuno ordered the troops to stop advancing and asked the radio to be turned on immediately and contact the Beijipo defenders to inquire about the situation.
At this moment, Major General Nobu Mizuno felt a bolt of lightning flash across his eyes, which was so irritating that he couldn't even open his eyes. He quickly rubbed his eyes with his hands and looked up, "Oh my God, when will all the lights on the left and right of my marching column light up?"
The roar of the lights, tanks, armored vehicles, and cars shook the earth.
Major General Mizuno Nobu didn't believe his eyes. Just when he was about to see what kind of luxurious equipment these tanks and cars were for the army, he heard the sound of artillery firing. Major General Mizuno Nobu couldn't think about it anymore and shouted.
"The enemy is attacking", he leaned over the horse, trying to take advantage of the situation and roll off the horse.
As soon as he got off his horse, groups of artillery shells exploded in the marching ranks of the troops, followed by the continuous sound of machine gunfire in his ears. Major General Mizuno Nobu only glanced at it and closed his eyes. Because he
I really didn't dare to look at it anymore. If I looked at it again, I was afraid that my heart would jump out of my heart and fall to the ground to pieces.
Even if I close my eyes, there are not only the sounds of artillery and gunfire echoing in my ears, but also the howls of my own soldiers when they are hit by machine gun bullets. My mind is still fixed on this set of pictures: two to three hundred tanks,
Armored vehicles and cars lined up in a line, with their lights on, pressing towards their own troops. The machine guns on the roofs of the vehicles sprayed bullets, just like hundreds of venomous snakes spitting out dark red snake bites, biting continuously.
Between the vehicles, the infantry's light and heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry cannons, and grenades were wreaking havoc, beating their own soldiers like acrobats and dancing in a ring of fire.
.
Major General Mizuno Nobu knew that tonight was the end of his independent tenth brigade and his own memorial day. No one could save him, neither Amaterasu, who controls the sun, nor Tsukiyomimi, who controls the moon.
Resisting the fear in his heart, Mizuno Nobu slowly opened his eyes. He wanted to observe the battlefield again to confirm his command line. When he opened his eyes, he discovered that the tanks, armored vehicles, and cars were already in front of him.
The car lights illuminated the road brightly, and the corpses of our soldiers lay on the road in neat rows, looking as if they were lying on the spot.
At this time, Major General Nobu Mizuno heard about the problem of tanks, armored vehicles and cars lost by the North China Front after the fall of Tianjin. He also understood that the unit in front of him was the legendary Eighth Route Army instructors. His independent mixed 10th Brigade was honored to be reunited.
Once upon a time, he followed in the footsteps of the 21st Brigade.
Thinking about it, I feel useless. I and Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Tojiur Palace were so stupid that they never thought about the instructor. I guess Major General Tsuchiya, who formed the sixth division independently, was also the same as me.
It was only at the last moment that he realized who died.
Slowly, Major General Mizuno Nobu lost his fear, and the Bushido spirit in his body slowly recovered. He knew that he had to die, and he had to die heroically, otherwise, his son and daughter would not have to hang around in Japan in the future.
So, Major General Nobu Mizuno stood up, closed his eyes, pulled out his command knife, and shouted at the convoy: "Kill me!"
The Japanese soldiers lying on the mainland would naturally not get up and kill them. Major General Mizuno Nobu shouted "Kill them!" but there was still no response. Mizuno Nobu was helpless and shouted more than a dozen times in a row: "Kill them!"
"Kill him!" Not only did the imperial soldiers not respond, but the oncoming tanks, armored vehicles, and cars also didn't respond. The soldiers in the cars seemed to be too lazy to even shoot, and were all watching him play tricks.
Mizuno Nobu knew it was time, and he would be captured if it was any later. So, Mizuno Nobu turned the tip of the knife, held the knife in both hands, and stabbed himself in the abdomen.
This unit was also strange. It seemed that they were not very interested in capturing a major general. So many people actually watched Mizuno Nobu stabbing a knife in his abdomen without anyone even scolding him.
At this time, Major General Mizuno Nobu had a voice in his heart that kept shouting, shoot quickly, shoot quickly, the gun will sound and the knife will fall. Unfortunately, the gunshot did not sound, so Major General Mizuno Nobu had no choice but to stab the knife in with all his strength.
He hit his abdomen, twisted it again, and then fell to the ground.
Major General Mizuno Nobu left with full of unwillingness and resentment, but the jubilant Eighth Route Army soldiers surged up from all sides and began to clean the battlefield. Gao Yuan asked Chief of Staff Zhou Yi to send a report to Liu Yimin: "The battle is over, the enemy has been wiped out, and the major general has been killed."
name."
Hu Laohu proposed to go to Beijipo for reinforcements. Gao Yuan shook his head and told him that it was not necessary. Not to mention that it was just a small station. The Japanese army had limited troops, so what if it was strong? Chief of Staff Zeng had two artillery regiments, one
The Flying Thunder Artillery Regiment, a heavy machine gun regiment, with this kind of firepower can easily kill those Japs. What is more important is to quickly clean the battlefield, move supplies, and destroy the railway.
Considering that the tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles of the Second Regiment had great targets, Gao Yuan ordered Zhou Yi to lead the First Regiment. The Second Regiment immediately went up the Tailai Highway and headed towards the Luzhong Battle Assembly Area. They had to hide at dawn. Other troops immediately destroyed the railway.
Moving supplies.
At this time, the battle in the direction of Beijipo had just entered a fierce battle.
After the engineer regiment commander Ren Chaoran and the political commissar Li Zengyu accepted the task of breaking the road to lure the enemy, they discussed it and decided that Li Zengyu would lead two battalions of 1,000 people to carry out the task on the road with torches. Ren Chaoran would lead the remaining three battalions to ambush on the roadside. If
When the Japanese attacked with a small force, they would shoot at them with rifles, turning the battle into a stalemate and attracting the Japanese to send more troops.
This Li Zengyu is from Jixian County, Hebei Province. When he was studying in Peiping, he was influenced by the ideological atmosphere during the Great Revolution and went south to apply for the Engineering and Soldiers Department of Huangpu Military Academy. At Huangpu Military Academy, he met Comrade Zhou Enlai, who was the director of the Political Department of Huangpu Military Academy, and joined the Communist Party.
During the Eastern Expedition, he was seriously injured in the Guangzhou Uprising. After recovering from the injury, he has been engaged in underground work. After arriving in the Soviet area, he worked as a staff officer at the Red Army headquarters. During the Long March, he was assigned to work in the 18th Red Regiment in the passage and has been working in the engineer company and engineer battalion.
, served in the Engineer Regiment and contributed to the construction of the Engineer Corps of the Instructor Division. This man is not tall, has fair skin, and wears a pair of myopia glasses.
Due to the capture of Chengdu, Xi'an, Taiyuan, and Tianjin, the equipment of the Engineer Corps has been significantly improved. For example, the work they do when digging railways is different from other troops. Other troops and ordinary people do not have special tools to build railways.
Use wooden sticks to pry up the rails, and then smash the connecting bolts to move the rails away piece by piece. The Engineer Corps is different. They unscrew the bolts first and then lift the rails. It requires fewer people and is more efficient.
Still high.
Li Zengyu led two engineering battalions to carry out a high-profile road-breaking operation on the railway, which naturally fell into the eyes of the Japanese garrison sentries in Beijipo. Think about it, not only were the torches bright, but there were also a lot of people, so the Japanese couldn't turn a blind eye even if they wanted to.
.
After receiving the report from the sentry, the Japanese captain immediately got up and went to the watchtower. When he looked south, he angrily cursed Bageya Road. This Tuba Road was so crazy that he dared to blatantly tear up the railway.
I simply don’t know how powerful the imperial army is!
After calming down for a while, the Japanese captain remembered his mission and what happened in Dawenkou. He could not engage in it rashly, so he had to send a report to Major General Nobu Mizuno, commander of the 10th independent mixed brigade, to report the situation and ask for instructions on how to deal with it.
The telegram was sent, but Major General Mizuno Nobu did not reply. The Japanese captain then remembered that the brigade commander was on the march and the radio was not turned on. He could not be reached here, and the Tuba Road was in full swing over there.
The posture of the torch was still moving towards Beijipo Station. The sound traveled far in the quiet night, and the voice of Tubalu's voice was intermittent and continuous, going straight into the ears of the Japanese Captain. The Japanese Captain
Gradually he became anxious, because he knew that if Tubal Road was allowed to go down like this, the Jinpu Line would have to be shut down. Even if a sweep was launched after dawn, all the rails might not be recovered. To put it bluntly, it would take all the effort to recover the rails.
If the rails are recovered, won't the railway also have to be suspended for a period of time?
Remembering that one of his main tasks is to protect the safety of Jinpu Road, the Japanese Captain felt that he must eliminate these broken roads. However, considering the lessons of Dawenkou, the Japanese Captain decided to send the second squadron to eliminate the broken roads.
He went to Tuba Road and stayed on the watchtower to observe the battle.
The captain of the second squadron is called Anjuro Tashiro. He is the cousin of Lieutenant General Anichiro Tashiro, the former commander of the North China Army. He turned out to be a wandering rogue in Peiping and Tianjin. He was brave and ruthless and did many bad things. He later returned to China.
He joined the army and was incorporated into the 10th independent mixed brigade.
Tashiro Anjuro was very insidious. He quietly slipped out of Beijipo Town with his squadron, took a small road and went in circles to reach the railway, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the broken Tubal Road and defeat the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.
Little did Anjuro Tashiro know that this was a trap in itself, and that the trap was dug very large and deep. It was originally intended to contain all the main forces of the independent tenth brigade, but now that only one squadron has come, they can only play tricks on him.
When Tashiro Anjuro felt that he was almost within shooting range and was about to order the troops to attack, a bullet was shot squarely into his chest, sending his soul directly back to Japan. Needless to say, Tashiro Anjuro
He was so arrogant that the Eighth Route Army secret sentry couldn't see through it and shot him directly.
The Japanese army was worthy of being a regular force. They were not alarmed when encountering changes. The captain of the first team immediately took over the command, commanded the troops to set up machine guns and grenade launchers, and they started firing.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, Tubal Road, which was breaking the road, immediately stopped breaking the road, used the railway as a cover, lay down on the track, and started shooting at the Japanese.
In the dark night, the positions of machine guns and grenade launchers were obvious. There were many Eighth Route Army soldiers. In order to make the scene realistic, Li Zengyu only let three light machine guns fire and concentrated the rifles for volley fire. He was specially designed to deal with the Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers.
The Japanese attack was suppressed.
Only then did the Japanese soldiers realize that they had fallen into the ambush of the Eighth Route Army. Fortunately, although Tubal Road had many people, it lacked firepower. There were no cannons and heavy machine guns, and the visibility was not good at night. Tubal Road surrounded the imperial army, but
There was nothing they could do against the imperial army. In this case, the Japanese squad leader, who acted as the squadron leader, kept sending signals for help to the group leader.
This scene had already caught the eyes of the Japanese captain who was watching the battle in Beijipo. He felt that Tubal Road was purely the work of the guerrillas. As long as he led the main force of the brigade up, brought the infantry artillery, and fired a few shots, Tubal Road would be in a mess.
Fleeed.
Therefore, the Japanese captain left a small group of Japanese soldiers to hold on to the fortifications on Beijipo. He led the main force of the group to attack the Eighth Route Army's road-breaking team and stepped into the gate of hell.
