Because he sent a false telegram to the Japanese army, Zhang Haitao judged that the Japanese army would not be able to immediately determine what happened in Tai'an for a while, so that he might have a period of time to make a big fuss in Tai'an. Unexpectedly, a Japanese military column passed through that night and was at the front of the border.
Captured by our army. This was originally a good thing, but in the current situation, the good thing turned into a bad thing. Because the military queue has time, the Japanese will definitely notify the stations along the way. In this way, our army occupied Tai'an
I can't even cover up the facts.
Zhang Haitao thought about it and thought that he had to cheat again. It was hard to say whether he could deceive the Japanese. So Zhang Haitao sent another report to the Japanese in Ciyao Town, saying that although the entire Dawenkou to Tai'an section of the railway had returned to normal,
, but Tubal Road also carried out sabotage between Tai'an and Jieshou, and about 200 meters of rails were torn off and stolen. Commander Mizuno Shinbrigade has sent troops to pursue it, and the lost rails and sleepers should be recovered soon.
, it is estimated that the repair of the railway will not begin until dawn. The military train sent from Jinan to the front line has now arrived at Jieshou Station and will not depart until the railway is repaired. Please inform Ciyang County Station from Ciyao Station.
After sending the telegram, Zhang Haitao thought about it and felt that this matter could not be concealed. What if the Japanese plane reconnoitred after dawn? But he could not think of any good way, so he had to send a report to the Taixi Security Brigade, asking for their location, and asking them to come as soon as possible.
Escort the training headquarters and the first branch of the Anti-Japanese University, and the central cadre regiment met in Tai'an and crossed the railway into the mountains.
At this time, the Taixi Garrison Brigade, the training headquarters led by Yuan Guoping, the First Branch of the Anti-Japanese University, and the Central Cadre Group had arrived in the Taixi area, and joined with the cadres of the four regiments sent by Duan Junyi's Taixi Special Committee and the instructor to complete the preliminary
The troops were organized.
After receiving Zhang Haitao's telegram, Huang Su and Wang Jian'an learned that our army had captured Tai'an and completely wiped out the Japanese independent tenth brigade.
Wang Jian'an was a tiger general of the Fourth Red Army. He served as the political commissar of the Fourth Red Army during the Long March and later studied at the Red Army University. He was a man of both wisdom and courage. This time he was transferred as an instructor and served as brigade commander when he arrived. Although it was a security brigade,
Wang Jian'an was also very satisfied. Soldiers, as long as there is an army that can fight, there is no need to talk about so much. Therefore, Wang Jian'an wanted to go to the Jinpu Line and kill the Japanese first. Unfortunately, the Taixi Guard Brigade is a new unit, and soldiers
They are all adapted from the former Northwest Shandong People's Army. Although they have been trained by the training headquarters, they are still a new army. The only saving grace is that the cadres are all the backbone of the instructors and the weapons are all Japanese weapons. Wang
Jian'an felt that as long as they trained for a while, got used to it, and fought a few battles, the Taixi Guard Brigade could become an elite force.
Huang Su was an old man who taught the instructor. He knew that although the task Liu Yimin gave them was to harass the Japanese on the front line in Yanzhou and Jining, it was just a harassment, and it was to train troops through small-scale battles. Regarding the current situation of the Taixi Garrison Brigade,
Liu Yimin's arrangement is undoubtedly correct. Huang Su has a painful experience in this regard. He will never forget the fate of the Eighth Red Army Corps in the Battle of Xiangjiang during the Long March. He knows that if the new recruits do not undergo high-intensity training and the test of war, they will never die.
It is impossible to become the main force.
Compared with Wang Jian'an and Huang Su, Duan Junyi's qualifications are much younger. He is only 28 years old this year. He joined the party in 1936 and was a student leader in Peiping. In 1937, he went to Xi'an Central Party School to study and followed Guo Hongtao to Shandong.
When these three people met, it was because they needed military skills and theory. In addition, the cavalry brigade had been developing in Western Europe for some time and had laid a foundation. There would be no problem for the troops to survive and develop here. After the three people discussed it, they decided
It was decided to follow Liu Yimin's order to reorganize the Taisei Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Regiment into the Fourth Taisei Guard Brigade Guard Regiment. The troops would first train intensively for a period of time to be thoroughly integrated into one, and then start fighting in turns, one regiment at a time, fighting small battles first, and then using
Fight to train the troops. After the combat effectiveness is increased, we will adopt a combination of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to take the initiative to seek the enemy's bad luck.
Upon receiving Zhang Haitao's telegram, Huang Su and Wang Jian'an's eyes lit up, knowing that the fighter plane was coming. The reason is very simple. Our army occupied Tai'an and cut off the Jinpu Line. The Japanese army will inevitably organize a counterattack quickly. In the temporary situation, our army
It is impossible to stick to Tai'an and fight to the death with the Japanese army. The main force will inevitably be transferred to find other fighter opportunities. After the Japanese army recaptures Tai'an, they will definitely sweep around and eliminate our anti-Japanese forces along the railway. In this case, the Taixi Security Brigade can be hidden near the railway line, and the Japanese army will
Ignore it when it comes. If you are a squad or squadron enemy, you can use it as a whetstone to polish your troops.
After the two people discussed it, they left the Fourth Guard Regiment to follow Duan Junyi to mobilize the masses between Feicheng and Dongping, expand the troops, and led the First, Second, and Third Guard Regiments of the Taixi Guard Brigade to march quickly to Tai'an to join the Tai'an detachment.
After the Taixi Security Brigade and the Tai'an detachment met, they replenished ammunition, food, and medicine in Tai'an. Huang Su, Wang Jian'an, and Zhang Haitao discussed the possible actions of the Japanese army and decided to clear the country on both sides of Jinpu Road to prevent Japanese invaders.
Retaliation. As for the merchants and residents in Tai'an County, try to seek their opinions. Those who want to evacuate will evacuate to the mountainous areas with the troops, and those who don't want to evacuate will not be forced. It is expected that the Japanese will not carry out crazy revenge in Tai'an County. After all, they also need to maintain a certain economy.
environment.
Finally, Huang Su, Wang Jian'an and Zhang Haitao decided that the two forces would join forces to fight. The Japanese raided the west side of the road, and the Tai'an detachment launched an offensive to contain the Japanese. The Japanese raided the mountainous area east of the road, and the Taixi Guard Brigade attacked Jinpu Road to hold them back.
To force the Japanese to retreat, they must send more small troops to destroy the railway anytime and anywhere and cause overturning accidents. In short, the Japanese must be neither left nor right and be in panic all day long to ensure the smooth progress of the Shandong Campaign.
After several people discussed it, they immediately organized the troops to implement it separately.
On the morning of the 13th, enemy signals were reported from the direction of Jieshou Station and Dawenkou.
It turned out that the commander of the Japanese Second Army, Lieutenant General Higashino Higashihiko, had a good night's sleep. When he got up the next morning, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the reprimand and insult he received from General Tokuichi Terauchi last night was simply disrespectful to the dignity of the royal family.
It must be revealed, otherwise people will laugh out loud if it gets out.
But how can we say this?
Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace thought about it and felt that he was new here and had not had time to show off his talents, so he let General Juichi Temple look down on him and let the independent tenth brigade rescue Dawenkou overnight.
It is a normal thing to use as an excuse to insult yourself. It seems that the old Chinese saying goes well, a good horse will be ridden by others, and a good person will be bullied by others.
Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Tojiur Palace felt that the top priority was to fight a good battle and let the old bastard Juichi Terauchi see his level and ability. Now is the opportunity. According to the battle plan of the base camp and the front army, the battle plan of Xuzhou has been drawn
The net is fully opened, and now we are waiting to close it. At this time, Juichi Terauchi should be urged to not let the 5th Division, 10th Division, 16th Division, and 114th Division go around in circles with the Chinese army in the Xuzhou area.
We should press forward with all our strength and capture Xuzhou in one fell swoop. The sooner the better. If it is too late, the Chinese army may be alert, and in that case, they will flee.
After Lieutenant General Nian Yanwang of Dongjiur Palace made up his mind, he passed Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe and sent a report directly to General Judaiji Temple, saying that since there were no problems on the Dawenkou front line, the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division should be ordered.
The 10th Division, the 114th Division, and the 6th Division cooperated with the 3rd, 9th, 13th, and 110th Divisions on the southern front to quickly encircle Xuzhou and annihilate the Chinese around Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
The main force of the army.
This telegram from Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace was purely unnecessary, because on the 12th, the Japanese 14th Division had crossed the Yellow River from Puyang, which opened the prelude to the Battle of Lanfeng. Therefore, General Touichi Terauchi saw
After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace, he scorned it and ordered Lieutenant General Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace to concentrate on directing the operation according to the battle plan and not to create any complications.
Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Tojiur Palace was poured cold water on his pocket by General Touichi Terauchi, and his passion was completely extinguished. Under the depression, the old devil actually stayed in front of the map in the war room for a whole day.
The troops of the 114th Division who stayed behind in Yanzhou until the evening sent a telegram to report that the three military trains that were supposed to arrive in Yanzhou today had not arrived. They had received a report from the 10th Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Tai'an at Ciyao Station, saying that Tai'an had arrived at the border.
The first section of the railway was damaged. It was said that it would be open to traffic in the afternoon. I don’t know why it has not been opened to traffic yet. The 114th Division has no affiliation with the 10th independent mixed brigade. Please ask the Second Army Headquarters to hold the independent mixed 10th brigade accountable.
Why is Jinpu Road not open to traffic yet? When will it be opened to traffic?
After reading the telegram, Lieutenant General Wang Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace was shocked. He had never received a report of the interruption of Jinpu Road. Where did the report of the 114th Division come from?
Lieutenant General Nikihiko Higashikata is a leader among the Japanese royal family. Although he is a playboy, he studied all the way from the Army Military Academy to the Army University. He is not an incompetent person. The reason why he made a bad move is that he was attacked by the temple.
The reprimand given by General Shou Yi was not because he was incompetent, but because he was unfamiliar with Liu Yimin's tactics of teaching the division. After receiving the report from the 114th Division, Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiuer Palace woke up immediately and recalled it carefully.
As soon as I received a telegram from the 10th Independent Mixed Brigade about various things that happened after a small team of the Dawenkou garrison was raided and ambushed in Beiteng Village, I felt that there was something fishy about it.
Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace asked the combat staff to bring the telegram of the independent tenth brigade, and read it carefully. After reading it, the doubt came out, why did the infantry brigade in Dawenkou set off?
After retaliating against Beiteng Village, Dawenkou was attacked by Tubal Road? Why did Major General Mizuno Nobu report that he had lost contact with the Dawenkou garrison? Why did he order Major General Mizuno Nobu to lead the main force of the independent tenth brigade to reinforce
After Dawenkou, did the defenders at Beijipo send a telegram directly to themselves? Why did Major General Mizuno Nobu no longer report after this telegram?
With many doubts, Lieutenant General Higashino Higashihiko ordered the radio station to immediately send him a message using the password to contact Major General Mizuno Nobu alone, asking him to quickly report why the Jinpu Road was interrupted.
With this report, the problem came out completely, because after waiting and waiting for the reply from Major General Mizuno Nobu. Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace immediately understood that something had happened to the independent tenth brigade, Tai'an
problem occurs!
Of course, what Zhang Haitao captured was the radio station and code book of the Beijipo garrison. Major General Nobu Mizuno's radio station and code book had long been destroyed by artillery fire from the 1st Teaching Brigade. Naturally, no one picked up the telegram and no one responded.
After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General King Nianhiko of Higashijiur Palace, General Tokuichi Terauchi fell down on his chair and could not get up again. He knew that the situation he least wanted to see happened, it must be
Liu Yimin's troops arrived in Shandong, or at least part of his troops arrived in Shandong. Only this reason can explain what happened in the Tai'an section of Jinpu Road and the southeastern Shandong area in the near future.
General Touichi Terauchi used the most vicious language he knew and scolded Liu Yimin. After the scolding, General Touichi Terauchi immediately adjusted his deployment and ordered Lieutenant General Tojiurgong Nian Yanwang to command the Eighth Division in Jinan.
The regiment and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade in Zaozhuang immediately regained Tai'an and repaired the Jinpu Railway. The aviation force was ordered to dispatch immediately after dawn to conduct reconnaissance in the Tai'an area. It was necessary to clarify the situation and prepare for the 8th Division and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade.
The regiment provided uninterrupted air fire support. As for the next steps of the 8th Division and the 13th Independent Mixed Division after they regained Tai'an, General Terauchi Juichi did not have a clear order, because he was not sure whether they could regain Tai'an. Besides,
Now that instructor Liu Yimin has arrived in Shandong, the Japanese army's next combat deployment must be modified and cannot be based on the original deployment.
Taking into account that Lieutenant General Tojiurgong Nianhiko Wang had just arrived in North China and did not understand the tactics and strength of Liu Yimin's instructor, General Juichi Terauchi ordered Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo in Jinan to be responsible for telling Lieutenant General Tojiurgong Nianhiko to
Explain the combat situation of Liu Yimin's instructor, preach his several prohibitions on fighting with instructors, and supervise the operations of the Second Army.
That night, Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace stayed in the headquarters war room all night. As for what he was thinking, outsiders have no way of knowing. However, the Eighth Division in Jinan and the Independent Mixed Tenth Division in Zaozhuang
The third brigade and the 114th Division in Yanzhou were all mobilized urgently. Among them, the 13th independent mixed brigade in Zaozhuang was ordered to immediately drive to Yanzhou to join the troops of the 114th Division left behind in Yanzhou.
On standby; the Eighth Division received an order to mobilize the entire division urgently and attack Tai'an at dawn.
At five o'clock in the morning on the 13th, both the 8th Division and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade received orders to immediately attack Tai'an by car. The order also stated that according to various signs, the Tai'an section of Jinpu Road had been interrupted, and the troops stationed in Tai'an were
The 10th Independent Mixed Brigade may have been collectively destroyed. It is judged that some troops of the China Instructor have arrived near Tai'an. The 8th Division and the 10th Independent Mixed Brigade are required to maintain high vigilance and send more search troops when they attack and advance.
Report the enemy situation immediately, and the aviation force will provide uninterrupted air cover.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese aircraft arrived in Tai'an and quickly sent back a report saying that after detailed investigation, there were three military columns parked at Jieshou station and the supplies on the military columns were missing. From the south of Jieshou to Da'an
In Wenkou, all railways were destroyed, and the Dawen River railway bridge was completely destroyed. However, no corpses of the battlefield or the imperial army or Tubal Road were found.
At this point, the situation has been completely clear. The independent tenth brigade must have been completely destroyed, otherwise the railway would not have been damaged to this extent. As a result, Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace became more and more cautious.
Lian Dian ordered the 8th Division and the 13th independent mixed brigade to move steadily and quickly send search troops to search along the road. The main force must form a group and seize key points along the way, so as not to give any opportunity to the China instructors.
After Zhang Haitao received the report from Jieshou and Dawenkou that the Japanese cavalry search force was discovered, he knew that the Japanese had discovered the fall of Tai'an. Moreover, judging from the cautious actions of the Japanese and the fact that the planes were flying all over the sky, the Japanese had spent a lot of money this time. Good.
Yesterday, we had an extra day and night. Not only did we seize two more trains of baggage, but the work of clearing the country was basically completed, and the troops were basically evacuated. How long will it take if we don’t leave now?
Therefore, Zhang Haitao issued a retreat order to stay in Dawenkou and Jieshou to monitor the enemy's small force and enter the mountainous area in concealment. He also led the guard force out of Tai'an City and hid in Mount Tai.
At this time, when the grass is growing green and the trees are green, the large troops have already retreated. It is very convenient for the small troops to evacuate. Once they hide in the mountains, the Japanese will be unable to find them.
When the Japanese search troops entered Dawenkou and Jieshou, the towns were empty. It was not until they arrived in Tai'an that they saw people holding white flags to welcome the imperial army. Without exception, these people shouted welcome slogans
While accusing Tubal Road of its crimes, he begged the imperial army to make decisions for the common people.
After receiving the report from the search team that Tubal Road had escaped, the 8th Division and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade accelerated their attack and met in Tai'an in the afternoon.
Of course, under the city of Tai'an, the Japanese found the corpses of Major General Nobu Mizuno, commander of the 10th independent mixed brigade, and his fellow traitors and traitors. These corpses were neatly placed and covered with some grass.
and leaves, so the Japanese reconnaissance planes did not detect it.
The 8th Division and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade both suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention that General Juichi Terauchi and Lieutenant General Tojiurgong Nianyan Wang ordered them to be cautious, but also ordered them to attack quickly and advance.
They won't listen either. What if we are ambushed by the instructor? Therefore, after the division was reunited, the commander of the 8th Division, Lieutenant General Maeda Toshio, and the commander of the independent 13th Brigade, Major General Morita Masanori, all arrived at the same place.
We chose to defend the Jinpu Line and repair the Jinpu Line. As for the issue of mopping up the Eighth Route Army, the North China Front Army and the Second Army had no orders, and they were happy to have their time.
Since the puppet regime in Tai'an was completely destroyed and the traitors were beheaded by the shining sabers of the cavalry brigade, it was difficult for the Japanese army to obtain accurate information. After discussion between Lieutenant General Maeda Toshiwa and Major General Morita Masanori, they decided to re-
Establish a maintenance meeting in Tai'an, and then investigate what kind of troops attacked Tai'an. Unfortunately, after investigation and investigation, the common people admitted that it was indeed the Eighth Route Army that killed the Japanese, but most of these Eighth Route Army were wearing common people's clothes and military uniforms.
There were very few, and the guns and cannons they carried were the same as those of the imperial army. As for where they went, these ordinary people were very happy, saying that they had all gone into the mountains.
Seeing that nothing could be found in the investigation, Lieutenant General Maeda Toshio had no choice but to send a telegram to the North China Front Army Headquarters, reporting the investigation results, and then concentrated on repairing the railway.
