The 8th Japanese Division was established in Hirosaki, Japan in 1898 to deal with the Russo-Japanese War and participated in the famous Heigou-Taiwan Battle in the Russo-Japanese War, but suffered heavy losses and almost destroyed the entire army. During the September 18th Incident,
Under the leadership of the division commander of the division, Lieutenant General Xiyi, invaded Northeast China from North Korea, joined the Kwantung Army sequence, attacked Shanhaiguan, occupied Rehe, seized Chengde, and fought from the Sino-North Korea border to the city of Pingjin, forcing the Chinese government to sign the Tanggu Armistice Agreement.
》.
Due to Liu Yimin's arrival, the 21st Brigade and the Chahar dispatched corps were annihilated. The 8th Division, led by the new division commander Mae Muramura as Lieutenant General, was incorporated into the Kwantung Army's southward corps and arrived at the battlefield in North China. In fact,
It is not entirely a factor that Liu Yimin traveled through time. In history, the Eighth Division had once wandered on the battlefield in North China like a ghost. In a nutshell, the Eighth Division was an old Japanese invading division. The division was under the jurisdiction of
The Fourth Infantry Brigade, the Sixteenth Infantry Brigade. It has the Fifth Infantry Regiment, the Thirty-One Regiment, the Seventeenth Regiment, the Thirty-Two Regiment, the Eighth Cavalry Regiment, and the Eighth Field Artillery
Fencing, Eighth Engineer Regiment, Bagie Force Regiment, Field Hospital and other combat and support units.
The commander of the 8th Division, Maeda, was a lieutenant general from Ishikawa Prefecture, was the 16th generation master of the Maeda family in Kaga's family, and was a standard nobleman with a prominent background. This guy's ancestors were Maeda, one of the five elders of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
The Ri family, whose father was the seven-day vassal lord Maeda Akira Maeda, was adopted by the Kanazawa vassal lord Maeda, inherited the title of Marquis Maeda at the age of 15, graduated from the 17th session of the Army's Non-commissioned Officer School at the age of 20, and graduated from the Army with the third place at the age of 26.
The 23rd period of the University, served as an affiliate of the General Staff Headquarters, Chief of the History of the General Staff Headquarters, Instructor of the Lu University, Commander of the Second Infantry Brigade, Fourth Minister of the General Staff Headquarters, President of the Lu University, and had just been transferred to the 8th Division after the Lugou Bridge Incident
Leader of the regiment division.
After receiving the order to reinforce Weixian, Maeda Taki moved very quickly. Tai'an was very close to Jinan, and the troops were even distributed along the railway from Jinan to Tai'an, so the task of transporting Jinan was quickly completed.
After arriving in Jinan, Maeda Taki was the Lieutenant General and Lieutenant General Naosaburo, and Lieutenant General Higashijiuguro, and Lieutenant General Nihiko Higashinomiya. After hearing that the Eighth Route Army had broken through the city, he did not break through Sasaki to the headquarters defense line of the first Lieutenant General.
Lieutenant General Riwei felt that the general of Teraunuchi was a big deal, and even Sasaki could not defeat the position of a few hundred people. That must be the Eighth Route Army. It is not worthy of all the elite Eighth Divisions. Just go to a brigade, at most.
The wing was still Lieutenant General of the Nakamasaki, and Lieutenant General of Higashijiugu'er Palace told him repeatedly that it was indeed the troops of the siege of Teacher Liu Yimin. The reason why he did not finally break through Sasaki's position was that
The Imperial Army's planes were all over Weicheng during the day, and they would be hit as soon as they emerged. Second, because the troops stationed around Weixian in the Independent Mixed Brigade kept returning to the aid, the Eighth Route Army should have adopted the tactic of surrounding the point of attacking aid.
The tactics of using Weicheng as bait and destroying the units of the independent mixed third brigade that returned to the rescue were extremely sinister. The tactics of using the Eighth Division and the Qingdao garrison to advance east and west were to smash the Eighth Route Army's self-confidence in one fell swoop.
The proud tactics were completely annihilated. Now the Eighth Route Army is attacking everywhere to support Chiang Kai-shek's troops on the Lanfeng front line, and is very arrogant. Liu Yimin is taking advantage of the opportunity when the Imperial Army focuses on eastern Henan and gets a big shot in Weixian.
The Imperial Army dispatched such a powerful army to prevent him from stealing a handful of rice. Besides, since the teacher Liu Yimin joined the battlefield in North China, they have always broken the imperial army, and the Imperial Army has never been established.
Eliminate even a company of Liu Yimin's troops. Not to mention destroying the entire instructor, even if it is annihilated a brigade or a regiment, it is a great victory. At least we can see clearly the firepower composition and training situation of Liu Yimin's troops.
As soon as he said that Maeda Tatsuya suddenly realized his understanding of Lieutenant General. It turned out that this was a great opportunity to make a name for himself. He immediately commanded the troops to rush towards Weixian in accordance with the orders of the Second Army and the North China Front Army.
Before Lieutenant General left Jinan, Maeda Tatsu personally called the Japanese Jiaoji Road garrison along Jiaoji Road to inquire about the railway situation. As a result, except for the Weixian Railway Guard troops, the telephone number from Jinan to Changle was not available.
The railway garrison troops reported that the railway was in good condition and was accessible. Of course, the railway garrisons of Zhoucun, Linzi, Yidu and Changle, which belong to the defense scope of the independent mixed third brigade, all reported that the army troops stationed there were already
Reinforcements to Weicheng have gone, and the local defense is extremely empty, and it is urgent to dispatch troops to garrison.
The Japanese Jiaoji Road Guard is an old garrison force with a total strength of 1,500 people.
It only takes 400 miles from Jinan to Changle, and it takes only one hour to travel on the high-speed railway in later generations, and it takes only two hours to reach the highway. However, the speed of the train and cars at this time were limited, and the Eighth Division Regiment
A brigade of Pioneer stayed on the train for 10 hours before seeing the lights of Changle Railway Station.
The Japanese train was about to slow down and enter the station, when the salute to welcome them rang. However, the salute was a bit loud, and it directly dragged more than a dozen cars on the front of the car and rolled down the roadbed, lying there like a dead snake.
As soon as the train overturned, a team of Japanese troops rushed over from the station and arrived at the scene soon. However, instead of going to rescue the wounded, they twisted the door, smashed the window, and used the Japanese "little melon" grenade and the Chinese-made grenade.
He threw it into the carriage until the flesh and blood flew across the carriage and could no longer hear any sound. The Japanese army quickly hid into the night.
When the five Japanese military police in Changle County led the traitors and police who maintained the meeting to arrive at the station, the bodies of the Japanese squad guarding Changle Station had already been stiff, and the way to die was very simple. It was not that they were twisted their necks.
The heart was pierced by a sharp blade, and they died peacefully, as if they did not feel any danger or pain before death.
The Japanese military police captain took a breath. These murderers were simply professional killers, all of whom were killed with one blow, with a skillful and neat technique.
When the accident happened, the Japanese military police captain and a group of traitors were vomiting loudly because the situation in the car was so miserable. Where can I tell who the pool of dirty blood and flesh belonged to? It was a car
Hotpot.
The 8th Division's large troops came one after another. When the captain of the Fifth Regiment, Colonel Gu Yi and his brigade were killed so miserably, they immediately pulled out their commanding swords toward those traitors who followed the Japanese military police and the police.
He pointed and shouted, "Kill me!"
Now, those traitors who were determined to do business for the Imperial Army were in trouble, and soon a large area fell down. Fortunately, Major General Suzuki Mijin, the commander of the 4th Brigade, stopped the crazy Gu Yiyi.
The colonel only retained the lives of several major members of the maintenance association who stood with the military police.
Major General Mijin Suzuki lost the 30th Regiment at Yanmen Pass last time, and was so angry that he almost committed suicide by cesarean section. Fortunately, the division commander pushed the blame on the Kwantung Army Air Force, saying that because they did not conduct detailed investigations and poor cover, the 30th infantry soldiers were defeated.
The Kwantung Army and the base camp not only did not hold Major General Mijin Suzuki accountable, but also transferred the 31st infantry registrar to the Fourth Brigade, which enabled the elite 4th Brigade to maintain strong combat effectiveness.
According to the former Major General Mijin Suzuki himself, he wanted to take revenge in Changle. He would dig out the Eighth Route Army that had attacked three feet away to avenge the tragic death of the Imperial Army, but considering that he would attack Weicheng soon,
This Lechang Construction may be the logistics supply base for the entire division. Maybe there will be many civilians from here to help transport the wounded. If the massacre of Lechang is now a little earlier.
Sure enough, after Maeda Taki arrived at Changle for Lieutenant General, he praised Major General Mijin Suzuki for his proper handling, saying that those who maintained the association could prepare military supplies for the Imperial Army, and after the Eighth Route Army attacking Weixian were eliminated, he would be given the
These Chinese people settle the accounts.
That night, the 8th Japanese Division, who arrived in Changle, camped in and around Changle County. No matter how Sasaki from Weicheng came to the No. 1 MIRST to beg for reinforcements to attack quickly, Maeda Tatsumi just kept his troops as Lieutenant General, because
He knew that he was facing the troops of the Eighth Route Army teachers who were best at sneak attacks. The scene at Changle Station had already taught him a vivid education class. He would not violate several prohibitions on fighting with the teachers by General Suichi Seuchi.
, wouldn't that be very dangerous?
If the Eighth Division does not move, it does not mean that the Eighth Route Army does not move.
At 2 a.m., the 8th Division troops went to bed one after another. At this time, the 2nd and 3rd special battles led by Li Lingfeng began to take action. Their goals were very clear, that is, those camping in the field based on squadrons and brigades.
The Japanese troops.
Originally, Li Lingfengxiang directly attacked the Japanese artillery gang, killing all the artillery soldiers, and letting all the Japanese artillery soldiers die in the war tomorrow. Unfortunately, the Japanese artillery gang was strictly protected and difficult to succeed, but it was a sneak attack and special combat
The 2nd and 3rd squadrons would also be surrounded by heavy troops of the 8th Division, which would not be worth the loss. Therefore, from the perspective of being able to escape, Li Lingfeng chose the Japanese troops camping outside the city.
Li Lingfeng drew a small team from the second squadron and the third squadron and divided the entire team into three teams. He, Zhao Yonggang and Zhao Zhiyu each led a team and acted separately. Before setting off, he asked the soldiers to draw their faces with grass juice and coal ash.
There were all kinds of flowers and paths, and they looked like evil spirits. After packing up, Li Lingfeng made a sign of departure, and the three teams went to touch the Japanese separately.
The Eighth Division was camping near Changle, with Japanese devils everywhere. The special forces were best at hunting at night. Maybe God also felt that these Japanese devils were completely destined to kill, and even the moon was burrowing into the clouds.
Cover the figures of athletes in the darkness.
The Japanese permanent division was well equipped, and tents were set up in temporary camps. There were sentries and patrols around the camp, which were difficult to get close to. However, this was not a problem for the warriors of the special forces.
Zhao Zhiyu aimed at a Japanese squadron camp. He still used his special skills, took a flying knife and killed one blow. After killing the sentry, he killed another five patrol team, and then he touched the Japanese squadron.
The special operations team was in charge of a tent and began the massacre.
Li Lingfeng and Zhao Yonggang each have their own tricks, and neither of them is idle.
To be honest, if the Eighth Division hadn't been too elite, the hunting that night would have continued, and killing more than a thousand of them in one night would not be difficult. Unfortunately, the special forces were discovered by the Japanese. One of them had diarrhea.
The Japanese's shrill "ghost" cries forced Li Lingfeng and the others to retreat quietly. In this way, the three small troops turned more than 400 elite old Japanese into ghosts under the sword.
Since they could no longer go to the Japanese camp to hunt, Li Lingfeng simply did nothing and launched a harassment battle against the Eighth Division. In Li Lingfeng's words, they were to make them unable to sleep and would still be in a hurry when they started charging tomorrow.
yawn.
Now it’s lively. Needless to say, the special forces are the most elite troops. The Bayi automatic rifle has high shooting accuracy, and the tactics are to fight east and west, and basically the gunshots are to fall.
Finally, Maeda Taki had to order the tanks and cars to turn on the headlights. All camps were pulled on the lights. Those who could not pull the lights on the torch. Whenever there was any movement, light and heavy machine guns would be launched together, and the attackers would not be allowed to get close to the troops.
Camp.
After a while, after dawn, after the Japanese counted, more than 500 people died in one night, and the train was killed, so basically more than one troop of troops were gone. Only then did Lieutenant General Maeda understand what he had encountered.
How terrifying the opponent.
Lieutenant General Maedada, who was unable to live a peaceful night, had a clearer mind. He believed that the Eighth Route Army must have limited troops and wanted to use this fatigue tactic to delay the progress of the Eighth Division so that they could have time to eliminate Sasaki to a remnant.
The materials from Weixian have been moved.
Maeda Taki sent a telegram to Sasaki to 1st lieutenant general, asking about the latest battle situation. He also contacted the troops from Qingdao and asked where they were.
Sasaki went to the No. 1 SMG to beg the 8th Division to provide quick reinforcements in a telegram, saying that it was overnight that his position had shrunk by two-thirds, leaving only more than 200 people. The Eighth Route Army began to persuade them to surrender, saying that they were
The Eighth Route Army's teaching 3rd Brigade, and its highest commander was the political commissar of the Third Brigade. If they did not surrender, they would launch a general attack.
Qingdao reinforcements reported that the railway was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army and the highway was also destroyed. They were constantly attacked at night. The troops suffered great losses and the marching speed was very slow. It is estimated that they will arrive in Weixian tomorrow morning.
Maeda Taki was furious after reading the telegram and ordered Qingdao reinforcements to speed up, and must arrive at the battlefield during the day today and encircle the Eighth Route Army so that they cannot escape.
Thinking about it, Maeda Taki sent a report to Lieutenant General Hiroshihiko Higashimiya, asking him to immediately urge the air force to dispatch and assist Sasaki to the defensive position of the No. 1 Lieutenant General.
After sending the telegram, Maeda Tatsuya saw that the gunshots of the Eighth Route Army harassing the troops finally stopped after dawn, so he ordered the troops to go to bed immediately, eat in two hours, and then advance towards Weixian.
