When Chen Dayong commanded the main force of the 7th Brigade to move in a roundabout way to the south of the 33rd Division's camping area, the entire 33rd Division's camping area was already filled with snores.
There is no way. With the powerful 14th Division, safety is no problem. I don't know where the division commander made a mistake. He has to repair the fortifications and the soldiers are exhausted. At this time
Even birds are sleeping in their nests, not to mention people who are sleepy and tired?
The reconnaissance company of the 7th Brigade has already figured out where the Japs are located. The 5th Division is camping in the Wangcun area, the 14th Division is camping between Puji, Guanzhuang, and Wangcun, and the 33rd Division is camping in the Wangcun area.
Camped between Shuangshan and Guanzhuang, the Second Division and the Independent Mixed into the First Brigade, and the Seventh Brigade camped between Xianggongzhuang and Puji, north of Jiaoji Road. The Japanese's three-pronged army formed a triangle
The target of the 5th Division is directed at Zhoucun, the 2nd Division is targeting Zouping and Qidong, and the 14th Division is targeting Zichuan. Of course, if the 5th Division's attack is blocked, both wings will
The troops will soon surround us.
The highway from Jinan to Zhangqiu has now been taken over by the 108th Division. These devils simply camped on the highway, making the Jiqing Highway between Jinan and Zhangqiu full of lights, which looked like willows from a distance.
.
After listening to the report of the reconnaissance company, Chen Dayong and Liu Yi took the cadres of each regiment to take advantage of the darkness to conduct a close observation of the 33rd Division's camping area.
Zhangqiu is the transition zone between Jinan and Zhoucun, Zhangdian and Zichuan. It is densely populated and has many large villages. The 33rd Division is located one to twenty miles away from Shuangshan to Guanzhuang.
A long snake array was set up on the ground, and the fortifications were well built. The Japanese guarding the fortifications seemed to be very alert. At least the sentries were well arranged. There were patrols patrolling each camping site.
There are machine guns on duty.
After seeing the situation, Chen Dayong made arrangements on the spot and ordered the reconnaissance company to approach the Japanese positions covertly. After the attack began, he pretended that the Japanese troops were in retreat and shouted in Japanese, "The main force of the Eighth Route Army is coming. The captain died in the battle. The commander of the regiment died in the battle."
"Dead, the division commander ordered a retreat" and so on, creating chaos and promoting the enemy's collapse.
Order the 1st Sniper Squadron, which has merged with the main force, to sneak into the vicinity of the Japanese positions and focus on eliminating the middle and lower-level Japanese officers and machine gun and grenade firepower points.
The artillery regiment was ordered to build a position, and at the beginning of the attack, the artillery fire should be concentrated on the campsite of the Japanese troops. The artillery fire should be fierce and the Japanese should be blinded as soon as possible.
Order the 19th Regiment to command the 20th Regiment, and the 21st Regiment to attack Shuangshan; order the New 7th Regiment to command the supplementary regiment to attack from Zhujiayu, storm the Yangjundian area, cut off the 33rd Division's front and back connections, and divide the Japanese
, monitor the movements of the 14th Division.
After issuing the combat order, Chen Dayong said to the cadres: "From the Third Division to the Seventh Teaching Brigade, although we have fought some battles, compared with the First Teaching Brigade, the Second Teaching Brigade, and the Third Teaching Brigade, we are still a new force
.Compared with the 4th Teaching Brigade and the 5th Teaching Brigade, the record is not as good as theirs. This time, the division commander used us as the main force of the Eastern Shandong Team because he looked down upon the 7th Teaching Brigade. Our training and tempering in the past few years have all gone wrong.
It will be inspected tonight. Each regiment must take out the items from the bottom of the box, including infantry guns, mortars, grenades, rocket launchers, mine cannons, light and heavy machine guns, all for me. The firepower must be fierce and the attack must be fierce.
We must form an indomitable and overwhelming wave of attacks to drown the little Japanese in one fell swoop. Completely destroy the 33rd Division's will to resist and completely defeat them! Let them see whether it is the bravery and tenacity of our old Red Army or theirs.
Bushido is great! If any regiment cannot be conquered, don't blame me for being rude. The regiment leaders and political commissars will all go to the first branch of Kangda University to study and teach the Seventh Brigade not to be invincible and to be invincible, commander! Do you all hear this clearly?"
The cadres all shouted loudly: "It's clear!"
Seeing that Chen Dayong's mobilization posture was becoming more and more like that of a division commander, Liu Yi hurriedly added: "Comrades, please note that this is a rout war, not a war of annihilation. All troops are not allowed to encircle the Japanese and must stay behind."
We must not act bravely and think of annihilating the Japanese as soon as they are defeated. In that case, we will be fooled by the 14th Division and the 108th Division. The Japanese will flee.
Finally, when pursuing victory, you must control the rhythm. As soon as you encounter the 14th Division and the 108th Division, you must immediately stop the pursuit and retreat quickly. This is discipline, and everyone must remember it."
Chen Dayong asked again: "Does everyone understand what the political commissar said?"
Once again, the cadres answered clearly.
Chen Dayong waved his hand and told the troops to move quickly. He and Liu Yi moved the brigade headquarters to the artillery regiment position, allowing the communications troops to quickly establish telephone calls with each regiment.
At one o'clock in the night, all the troops had already moved into position. In the distance, they heard the faint sound of artillery in Wangcun. Knowing that Li Deguang and the others had already begun to take action, Chen Dayong immediately ordered the artillery regiment to fire to cover the attack of the troops.
In fact, although the 33rd Division rebuilt the fortifications in accordance with the order of Lieutenant General Amakasu Jutaro, it was a large corps operation after all, and it had just left Jinan. The bunch of new recruits in the 33rd Division never dreamed of the Eighth Route Army.
A thunderous blow will fall on them first. You must know that there are two elite divisions in front of them, the 5th Division and the 14th Division. Therefore, the enemy's position is only to dig deeper the trenches.
Yes, the foxholes were dug in a standardized manner, and there was no laying of mines or ripping out barbed wire at all. Because we were not holding on for a long time, we had to move forward early tomorrow morning, and it would be very troublesome to get those things! And there were only sentries and watchmen left on the position.
Most of the soldiers in the army were fast asleep.
After the artillery regiment positions were built, artillery observers went to the front of each regiment to observe the situation in the Japanese camping areas and provide artillery bombardment parameters.
In this way, the targets of the first round of attacks by the Artillery Regiment of the Seventh Brigade were not the Japs’ forward positions, but the Japs’ campsites. Not to mention the Japs living in the villages, the Japs sleeping in the wild were the first batch to arrive at Amaterasu.
The lucky ones who report to the great god.
Liu Lizhi, the leader of the 19th Regiment, and Yu Wenfeng, the political commissar, are both key cadres of the old Red Army. Liu Lizhi studied in a girls' middle school in Hunan before joining the Red Army, and later worked as a tailor. He is very good at the work on the map and is a staff officer.
When the Chen Guang Division was eliminated in the Xikou battle, Liu Lizhi pointed out that the heavy machine gun positions were unreasonable, which attracted Liu Yimin's attention. He first worked in the staff office of the 18th Red Regiment, and later worked in the security regiment of the 7th Red Regiment. When the Dusan Division was established
, served as the commander of the Independent Tenth Regiment, and when the Eighth Route Army was reorganized, he became the commander of the Nineteenth Religion Regiment. This Liu Lizhi usually looked like a quiet, elegant scholar, but in battle he was extremely brave, holding a weapon in one hand
With a shell gun and a machete in one hand, he charges into the battle with unstoppable courage.
The 19th Regiment is the main force of the 7th Brigade, with more than 3,000 people in total. Its firepower is not weak. After the capture of Qingdao, all the weapons, ammunition and various materials seized by the 7th Brigade were turned over. But now is a period of fierce fighting.
Good weapons must first satisfy the combat troops. Therefore, after approval, not only did the 7th Jiao Brigade establish an artillery regiment with all field artillery, but the firepower of each regiment's fire support battalion and each battalion, company and platoon was greatly strengthened. Xiang Jiao 10
The fire support battalion of the ninth regiment was organized into five companies, two infantry artillery companies, a 60th mortar company, a heavy machine gun company, and a mine artillery company. The fire support companies of each battalion also became four.
A platoon, an infantry artillery platoon, a mortar platoon, two heavy machine gun platoons, and grenades are all organized into the infantry platoon and infantry squad.
Both Liu Lizhi and Yu Wenfeng, who came from the old Red Army, knew that tonight's battle was actually extremely dangerous, and they had to attack quickly and defeat the Japs in one fell swoop. Once the Japs were allowed to organize a defense and stabilize their position, the 14th Division would immediately pounce on them.
, that was the elite division of the Japanese. It not only strengthened a heavy artillery brigade, but also basically realized mechanization, and the attack speed was very fast. Therefore, Liu Lizhi’s plan was to teach the first battalion of the 19th Regiment to use attack arrows to tear open the Japanese defense line.
, a brave assault. The second and third battalions followed up with the first battalion, trying to dig deep into the Japanese defense like an awl. The 20th Regiment and the 21st Regiment poured in through the hole opened by the 19th Regiment and expanded to the two wings.
The Japanese's defense line was completely torn apart. The three main groups attacked side by side, forming an unstoppable attack wave and completely destroying the Japanese's will to resist.
In order to ensure the success of the attack, Liu Lizhi gathered all the infantry artillery, mortars, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and thunder cannons from the three regiments, arranged them neatly, and stared at the Japanese defense line with eager eyes.
The first wave of attacks by the brigade artillery regiment was against the enemies of Shuangshan. Because it has been clearly investigated that there are two Japanese infantry regiments, a baggage regiment, a mountain artillery regiment, a hospital and other logistics units stationed around Shuangshan. They are the 33rd
The main force of the division is located here. The reason why Chen Dayong concentrated all three main force groups here is to defeat the main force of the 33rd Division in one go.
When the brigade artillery regiment opened fire, Liu Lizhi ordered the assault to begin. All the heavy firepower of the three regiments was thrown at the Japanese position, and the Japanese position was soon submerged in a sea of fire.
Before the first wave of fire strikes ended, Liu Lizhi ordered the charge horn to be sounded and the attack launched. He ordered the infantry artillery to extend their fire, mortars, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, mine cannons and rocket launchers to quickly shift positions and follow up the attack.
troops to provide fire support.
There were not many troops on the Japs position in front of the assault. After being covered by the firepower of the three main regiments, there were very few Japs alive. The first battalion, which served as the assault battalion, easily broke through the Japs position, followed by the second battalion, the third battalion and the twenty-teacher battalion.
Regiments, twenty-one regiments, like a great drama, poured in from the gap and began to attack the Japanese who had just woken up from their sleep.
At this point in the battle, there was no longer any suspense, and the defeat of the 33rd Division was a certainty.
That night, Lieutenant General Amakasu Jutaro, the commander of the 33rd Division, lived in the compound of a landlord in Shuangshantun. Of course, the owner of the compound had already fled, and the house was empty. Lieutenant General Amakasu Jutaro had to let the guards
Unroll the marching quilt, spread it on the carved bed of the landlord's house, and sleep there for the night.
That night, there was no wind and it was very hot. Lieutenant General Amakasu Jutaro couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so he had to ask two guards to find two fans and keep fanning them. He finally fell asleep, but he had nightmares again.
It seemed that the Eighth Route Army was catching up. There was the sound of artillery and gunfire everywhere. Jutaro Amakasu was not afraid of danger and commanded the troops to fight desperately. The barrels of the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Taisho 11 young machine gun were red, beating the attacking Eighth Route Army to death.
The bodies of the Eighth Route Army soldiers in gray uniforms were staggering all over the mountains and fields.
Suddenly, a small unit of the Eighth Route Army attacked and rushed directly into the headquarters of Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro. Everyone held a short gun in one hand and a ghost sword in the other. They beat and chopped off the heads of the staff and guards of the headquarters.
It rolled all over the ground. Jutaro Amakasu took out his pistol and was about to shoot, but when he pulled the trigger, the gun didn't go off, and when he pulled the trigger again, it didn't go off. Jutaro Amakasu was sweating all over his face, so he dropped the pistol in a hurry and went to pick up the command knife, but the knife hadn't been drawn yet.
When he came out, the Eighth Route Army's Ghost Sword struck down. With a bang, Jutaro Amakasu finally woke up.
When he woke up, he saw that the guard was grabbing his hand and shaking him desperately. When he heard it again, why was there the sound of gunfire all around? Could he still be dreaming?
But time no longer allowed him to hesitate. The chief of staff came in and reported that he had been attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army and that the defense line had been breached. The campsites of each regiment were violently bombarded by the Eighth Route Army artillery, causing heavy losses. Now the Eighth Route Army has advanced to the division.
A deep attack is very fast and must be retreated immediately, otherwise it will be too late.
Amakasu Jutaro woke up immediately. What happened in his sleep really happened. He immediately ordered the chief of staff to organize various troops to resist on the spot, and immediately contacted the 14th Division to request emergency reinforcements.
The chief of staff hurriedly reported that the telephone lines had been cut, and the radio station could not call the commanders of the regiments. The Eighth Route Army's attack came too suddenly and violently, and the troops were all in camps. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers.
, how to organize resistance? It is better to retreat quickly and move closer to the 14th Division or the 108th Division, otherwise we will become prisoners.
As soon as Jutaro Amakasu heard that he might be a prisoner, he shivered all over. He stopped being wordy, jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, picked up his command knife and ran out.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw that my Thirty-third Division was in complete chaos. There were soldiers running around everywhere. The Eighth Route Army pursuit troops shouted and chased after them. Bullets and artillery shells were flying everywhere in the broken ranks of the Imperial Army.
Some soldiers shouted that the captain of the battalion was killed in action, the commander of the regiment was killed in action, run away quickly, otherwise he would be beheaded if it was too late.
At this time, Amakasu Jutaro didn't care to find out who was calling again, but he didn't give up. If he didn't resist on the spot, how could he explain to the base camp if he was defeated? He immediately ordered the guards and staff around him
Stop the rout and organize resistance on the spot. As a result, the troops were not organized, but instead they were attacked by artillery fire, and the soldiers were bloody and bloody. Seeing that it was impossible to do anything, Jutaro Amakasu sighed and had no choice but to lead the guards with him.
Hasty retreat.
The 14th Division is the ace division of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the 33rd Division. During the Battle of Lanfeng, faced with the fierce attack of the Xue Yue Corps, the 14th Division was able to resist resolutely and die.
Don't retreat.
At this time, Kenji Doihara disobeyed military orders in the Battle of Lanfeng in eastern Henan and caused serious losses to his troops. He had received an order to be transferred back to Tokyo and served as an attached to the staff headquarters. He stayed in Jinan and prepared to return to Japan. The new 14th Division
The division leader is Lieutenant General Sekii Takamasa.
When the Eighth Route Army Artillery Regiment opened fire, the commander of the 14th Division, Lieutenant General Sekii Takashi, was awakened. His first reaction was that the main force of the Eighth Route Army's teaching division had arrived, and his 14th Division was about to be destroyed.
There was a disaster. Therefore, Lieutenant General Sekii Takomasa immediately ordered all troops to end their camps, all take up positions, and resolutely repel the Tubal Road attack.
After a while, Takashi Seki calmed down and observed clearly. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was concentrating its forces to attack the 33rd Division, Takashi Seki ordered all units to prepare for attack, preparing to reinforce the 33rd Division and flank the Eighth Route Army.
.
When a large force moves, there are many people, horses, vehicles, guns and artillery, and there are many things to do. In the middle of the night, the soldiers are all awakened from their sleep. Many of them are not even dressed. How can they prepare for an attack quickly?
By the time the 14th Division was ready, the 33rd Division had already begun to retreat.
Just as Sekii Takashi was about to order the heavy artillery brigade to fire at the Eighth Route Army artillery positions to cover the retreat of the 33rd Division, the Chief of Staff reminded: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, our division has never fought against the Eighth Route Army, but according to reports from the North China Front
, China's Instructor Liu Yimin has at least eight artillery regiments. Now it is only a field artillery regiment that fires, and the other artillery sounds are Type 92 infantry guns, mortars, and grenades. Then the other artillery regiments of the Eighth Route Army
Where are they? What do they want to do? It’s worth pondering!”
When the chief of staff said this, Sekii Takamasa was stunned. Yes, he was facing the Eighth Route Army instructors who wiped out the Eighth Division and the Tenth Division in one fell swoop. Don't accidentally destroy the Fourteenth Division in one fell swoop.
The division was also sent into the tiger's mouth. In that case, he would be the shortest-lived division commander in the history of the Japanese Army. Who can tell how many cannons and machine guns were aimed at his 14th Division in this dark night?
Team, be careful!
Seki Takashima's caution did not matter, the 33rd Division's life-saving straw flowed eastward. Under the strong attack of the Eighth Route Army, it could only retreat again and again, and finally turned into a complete rout.
Not long after, the defeated troops of the 33rd Division arrived, followed by the pursuing Eighth Route Army.
The defeat of the 33rd Division was an eye-opener for the warriors of the 14th Division. Basically all of these new recruits did not wear helmets or even military caps. Many soldiers escaped with bare hands.
, the appearance is no different from the homeless farmers in the suburbs of Sendai when a typhoon comes.
Fortunately, the 14th Division's strong position and fierce firepower finally blocked the pursuing Tubal Road, and the defense line did not collapse due to the impact of the 33rd Division's rout. If the 14th Division had also been replaced by the 33rd Division,
If a newly formed unit like a division is formed, it is likely to turn into a major rout.
At this time, Sekii Takamasa became more and more cautious, because he was afraid that the instructor's defeat of the 33rd Division was just a bait, the purpose was to lure the 14th Division to leave the established position and pursue it. In this way, the Eighth Route Army could avoid fighting with the 10th Division.
The 4th Division is engaged in positional warfare and can ambush the 14th Division on the move.
