The Japanese army stationed in Weixian was the independent mixed third brigade commanded by Sasaki to a major general.
After the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade was organized in Peiping, it was set up in Shandong. Under the order of Lieutenant General Xiwei Shouzao, the commander of the former Second Army, was responsible for clearing out the areas on both sides of the Jiaoji Line. The brigade headquarters was stationed in Weixian.
The Japanese army's organization was a bit messy. Not only were the permanent divisions and horses system, but later, with the emergence of three corps divisions, they could also be divided into four-unit divisions and three-unit divisions. The same is true for the brigades.
There are brigades under the division, as well as mixed brigades, independent mixed brigades, and independent infantry brigades. People who are not sure about it often regard mixed brigades as independent mixed brigades.
The Japanese mixed brigade was divided into two situations. One was to draw a brigade or one to three brigades or several brigades from the backbone division to complete a certain combat mission, and then return to the construction after completing the task. Like Liu Yimin
The second and fifteenth mixed brigades of Chahar dispatched corps that were eliminated near Taiyuan are of this nature, but both brigades have returned to Japan and can no longer be restored to the original troops. Another kind of right and wrong
The Japanese army has organized eight mixed brigades in temporary formations in history, namely the first, second, third and fourth mixed brigades and the Chinese garrison mixed brigades, the Taiwan mixed brigades, and the Huatai (South Sakhalin Island) mixed brigades.
, Yangon Mixed Brigade. In history, only the Chinese Mixed Brigade brigade in this type of force were fighting in China. Now the Chinese Mixed Brigade brigade has been adapted into the 27th Division, and in history, the Taiwan Mixed Brigade brigade was later adapted
For the Forty-eighth Division.
The independent mixed brigade is different. It is an independent combat unit. It is generally composed of five infantry brigades, and is composed of workers, artillery, cavalry and luggage troops. The total force is generally about 4,900. Some independent mixed brigades also have 6
For one infantry brigade or two regiments, like the independent mixed 5th Brigade stationed in Tianjin, although there are only five infantry brigades, they are all reinforced brigades, and other subordinate brigades are also on the scale of brigades, with a total force of up to 8,280 people.
The Japanese army first formed the Independent Mixed Brigade and the Independent Mixed 11th Brigade in 1934. These two Independent Mixed Brigades were all put into the North China battlefield after the Lugou Bridge Incident. At that time, the Independent Mixed 1st Brigade was investigated.
The Hal sentry army sequence participated in the Battle of Taiyuan and was completely wiped out by the instructor. The 11th Independent Mixed Brigade participated in the battle to capture Peiping. Later, it stationed in Datong and was expanded into the 26th Division. In history, the Japanese army has been in 1934.
The first and the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade began. During the war, the 1st to 136th Independent Mixed Brigade were formed (there are 12 missing numbers in it: 41, 42, 63,
68,74,93,94,99,104,106,110,111), of which 37 were invested in the civil battlefields of China Pass.
Of course, due to the arrival of Liu Yimin, history has changed. It is hard to say how many independent mixed brigades the Japanese army can form. However, 11 independent mixed brigades have appeared on the battlefield in North China. Among them, the Japanese army covered their ears and thought that
The Chinese and other countries around the world do not understand their military system, and violated the rule that their troops had completely eliminated their numbers. They claimed that the original number of the first independent brigade and the 11th independent brigade were revoked at the same time, and the independent brigade was reorganized.
The brigade, who succeeded the 22nd Division who went to Xinxiang, was stationed in Handan. The 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Zhangjiakou, belonged to the Mongolian Army. The 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Weixian, and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade was annihilated by his instructor.
, The Fifth Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Tianjin, the Sixth Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Ju County, the main force was eliminated by the Fifth Independent Mixed Brigade, the Seventh Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in De County, the Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Shanxi, the Ninth Independent
The 10th Mixed Brigade stationed in Tai'an and was eliminated by the instructor. The main force of the Independent Mixed Brigade was annihilated by the instructor. After being mixed with the 83rd Regiment, some of the troops were added and are now stationed in Tai'an.
As for the Independent Infantry Brigade, it was only established in early 1944 in history, with only 14 units being organized in total, all of which were put into the Chinese battlefield.
After Sasaki arrived at a major general to command the Independent Mixed Brigade to station in Weixian, he frantically cleared both sides of the Jiaoji Line, causing many tragedies. Later, due to the concentration of troops in the Xuzhou battle, he mobilized and stationed in the mountainous areas of central and southern Shandong.
The entire 16th Division went south, and the Second Army instructed the Independent Mixed Third Brigade to be responsible for the defense of the entire central Shandong region. This has completely turned the troops of the Independent Mixed Third Brigade into local garrison troops, except for one
The brigade, cavalry team, engineer team, artillery team and baggage team were stationed in Weixian, and the other four brigades were all scattered in the strongholds of various county towns and major transportation routes. In some counties, there was even one small team of Japanese soldiers commanding the puppet army and the puppet army.
Police, responsible for the defense of a county.
The situation of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army in Weixian has long fallen into Liu Yimin's eyes.
According to Liu Yimin's design, the battle between Shandong was divided into three steps.
The first step is to use the main force of the Fourth Brigade to clear the Japanese and puppet strongholds in the rural transportation routes of various counties south of the Jiaoji Line, and drive the Japanese into the counties to defend them; use the Third
The brigade, the 7th brigade, and the 8th brigade swept the Japanese and puppet strongholds between Zhoucun and Weixian north of the Jiaoji Line, and drove the Japanese back to Zhoucun, Linzi, Yidu, Changle, Weixian, Guangrao, Shouguang and other counties to defend
.This step has been fully realized after more than two months of hard work.
The second step was to use the Eighth Route Army’s Hebei Central Military Region troops to the northern section of the Jinpu Line, and the Japanese army launched a feint attack on the northern section of the Pinghan Line, and the Hebei Southern Military Region troops launched a feint attack on the Japanese army from the Baoding to Shijiazhuang section of Pinghan Road, and to teach the Sixth Brigade to the enemy in De County.
The police brigade in the western Shandong launched a feint attack on the 108th Division, the Tai'an Detachment and the Tai'an Security Brigade launched a feint attack on the enemy between Yanzhou in Tai'an, and the Southwest Shandong guard brigade launched a feint attack on the enemy in Heze. The Second Brigade of the Education Brigade was placed in
After the Luxi Guard Brigade, he was ready to annihilate the enemies of the 108th Division's counterattack against the Luxi Guard Brigade; he taught the Fourth Brigade to secretly advance westward, wait for the opportunity to be on guard, and the Taixi Guard Brigade ambushed the enemy north of Yanzhou.
The main force of the Southeast Detachment is located in the junction of Ju County, Rizhao and Zhucheng, and the Wei Highway is controlled to prevent the Japanese army from launching sneak attack reinforcements from Xuzhou through Linyi to Qingdao or Weixian. The purpose of the second step is to confuse the Japanese with a blooming attitude.
It makes it difficult to judge our army's true combat intentions.
The third step was to guide the 8th Brigade to the periphery of Weixian with the First Special Forces Squadron, launch a sudden attack on the enemy and force the enemy to seek help. The 1st Brigade, the 3rd Brigade, the 4th Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade and the brigade-level troops formed aid
The group secretly captured Changle County, set up an ambush in Changle, preparing to eliminate the enemy coming to Jinan to support. After the 1st Squadron of Special Operations guided the Eighth Brigade of the Education, it immediately advanced eastward to meet with the 7th Brigade of the Education, secretly returned eastward, and advanced to the outer area of Qingdao.
He stood in secret and waited for the enemy from Qingdao to be dispatched, and quickly captured Qingdao secretly, pretended to be the Japanese army, and took over Ni Hua's fleet.
This is the original idea, and the situation has changed now. The 8th Division of the Japanese Army has arrived in Tai'an. In this case, it is not clear whether the Japanese and puppet troops from Qingdao will come first to rescue or the 8th Division will come first to rescue, and then order
It was the Eighth Division who came to rescue him, but I couldn't figure out whether it was taking the railway to detour Jinan, or directly advancing eastward along the Tailai Highway and heading north. These situations can only be understood after they started.
In view of this situation, Liu Yimin decided to teach the first brigade, the third brigade, the fourth brigade, the cavalry brigade, and the brigade troops temporarily wait for the outside of Weixian. After Weixian starts, it will make a decision to see the changes in the enemy situation. Which direction is the enemy in which direction
Call which one first.
On the evening of May 25, Liu Yimin issued an order to fight the battle in Central Shandong.
The first thing that started was the Eighth Route Army Central Hebei forces.
Since the Hebei Central University broke through to the training of southern Hebei, all the Hebei Central troops have been implemented as the main force. The 115th Division sent the main 343rd Brigade to the Hebei Central, helping the Hebei Central troops to train and expand their troops.
Due to Liu Yimin's arrival, the history of the Red Army's Long March was changed, and the Red Army's 1st Army became stronger and stronger. When the Red Army was reorganized, the Red Army was reorganized into the A-class Division of the 3rd Brigade Ninth Regiment, which was twice as many troops as the Fourth Regiment of the Second Brigade in history.
There are still many. After entering the battlefield in Shanxi, the troops continued to expand and several military sub-districts were established. Not only did local armed forces be formed, but the main forces were also further expanded. Often, detachments were set up below the brigade and the detachment were under the leadership of the regiment, which made Lin Biao and Nie Rongzhen in order to ensure the main force.
The combat effectiveness of the troops had to be strictly ordered, and the main force was extracted for tough battles. All newly formed troops were organized into direct troops of the military region and military sub-district, and were trained while fighting.
After receiving the order from Liu Yimin to launch the Battle of Central Shandong, the 343rd Brigade Commander Chen Guang shouted with joy that the opportunity finally came, and immediately ordered the troops that had already been in place to take action. However, Chen Guang was a famous general of our army and had a heart of his heart.
He knew that he started fighting here just to cooperate with the teacher to fight. If he fought so hard, when the Japanese army recovered, it is very likely that the Hebei Central Plain was the first target of the Japanese army's revenge. On this plain,
Without any obstruction, if the Japanese heavy army group surrounded him, he would probably have to sing another breakthrough in Hebeizhong, which would be embarrassing. Therefore, he mobilized all the local troops in the Hebeizhong base area toward the northern section of Pinghan Line.
The Japanese army on the northern section of the Jinpu Line and Baoda Road launched a harassment war. The 343rd Brigade and the main forces of the Hebei Central Military Region followed behind the local troops and laid pockets. As long as the Japanese dared to pursue, there would be another ambush battle between Pingxingguan and Yanmenguan immediately.
Almost at the same time as the central Hebei military region started, the troops of the southern Hebei military region also began to act. Their target was the Japanese garrison troops from the Shijiazhuang to Handan section of Pinghan Road. In the words of Song Renqiong, the political commissar of the southern Hebei military region, it was necessary to have the entire military region.
We mobilized together to make the momentum bigger so that the Japanese knew that some of the main mentors were in southern Hebei.
Not to mention, the luck of the troops of the southern Jilin Military Region was good. They caught a train of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army and directly blown it up. More than a thousand Japanese soldiers were moaning in the rolling train.
At that time, the Eighth Route Army soldiers twisted open the car door, threw bundles of grenades in, and confiscated their machine guns, rifles, bullets, grenades, and grenade launchers. Chen said unstoppablely,
Another group will be expanded.
The 108th Division in western Shandong had already received an order from General Shou of Teraenuchi to return to Jinan immediately. Considering that the troops were withdrawn at night and were prone to ambushing the Eighth Route Army, the division commander Lieutenant General Shimoto Yumi decided to keep the troops overnight.
Be prepared to retreat and return to Jinan early tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, after such delays, Xu Shiyou commanded the Shandong Guard Brigade and stuck it up. The gunfire sounds on the front line of the 108th Division all night, causing the soldiers to have a look on their faces.
It's awful and has no energy at all.
By dawn, he was really annoyed by the small troops of the Shandong-Western Security Brigade. A Japanese squadron commander ordered a squadron to attack without authorization and drove away these small Eighth Route Army units that had ruined their conscience. As a result, the Imperial Army's combat effectiveness was strong.
, In this pursuit, the raided Eighth Route Army troops fled in a panic, which made the pursuing Japanese squadron leader furious and pursued a little further. As a result, the Japanese squadron leader who decided to pursue them without authorization could only hear a vague affair.
There was a burst of dense gunfire, and the Japanese squadron never came back.
The attack point chosen by Zhang Haitao and Wang Jian'an is Ciyao Town located between Dawenkou and Yanzhou. It is only a dozen kilometers away from Dawenkou. Dawenkou has been occupied, and the Japanese here seem to be lucky, and they have never been
Has been attacked. However, their good luck ended here. The Eighth Route Army not only quietly touched the town, slaughtered all the Japanese in a squadron in their sleep, but also destroyed the station in Ciyao Town on the way, with a mess, steel rails
The 8th Division, which was repairing the railway between Tai'an and Dawenkou, and the soldiers of the Independent 13th Brigade were disheartened. When will the 8th Route Army do this?
Reopening to traffic?
On the night of the 25th, battles were everywhere from central Hebei to southwestern Shandong. It seemed that the Eighth Route Army was moving all of a sudden. Even the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield in Shanxi were actively attacking the Japanese defending the traffic line.
After dawn, General Shouyi of Seine who received the report was not too surprised. He knew that the 14th Division was fighting fiercely with the main force of the Chinese army, and reinforcements from Xuzhou were quickly attacking and advancing towards eastern Henan. The Eighth Route Army did this simply to destroy the imperial army.
the supply line to support the Kuomintang troops' operations in eastern Henan.
The Eighth Route Army strategic attempt was seen through at a glance, and Shou Nai smiled grimly, thinking to himself, Liu Yimin, Liu Yimin, just by using this trick, he wanted to stop the advance of the imperial army's chariots? This is a bit of a dream! Don't you know that the Japanese Empire has
Are powerful navy and aviation troops? Even if it is the Pinghan Line and the Jinpu Line are completely paralyzed, the Imperial Army can still rely on sea and air transport to solve the supply problems.
The calm and leisurely general of Shinui Shou ordered all troops to guard the defense line and repel the arrogant attack of the Eighth Route Army on behalf of fortifications. Then he went to the airport in person to supervise the airdrop of the air force on the 14th Division.
It was not until the evening of the 26th that Liu Yimin issued an order to launch an attack on Weixian.
