Hoichiko Tani was shocked, but Tanisuo was not shocked.
Tani Shouo adhered to the active and decisive offensive and combat philosophy of the previous division commanders of the Sixth Division. He was the only one who invaded others and beat them. He had no idea of being passively beaten in his mind. When he heard Kobayashi Asazaburo report that he had already
When the 25th Brigade of the 108th Division was left in Zhoucun, Zhangdian's infantry brigade and railway garrison troops and the puppet guards retreated to Jinan, Tani Shouo was furious and denounced Kobayashi Asazaburo's strategy for not understanding.
, he failed the painstaking efforts of Major General Nakanoya Nakano.
Originally, Tani Suo wanted to slap Kobayashi directly, but considering that Hoichi Desouchi was by his side, he resisted the impulse and did not slap Kobayashi Asazaro Kobayashi.
If Kobayashi Asazaburo knew that Tanisuo did not slap him because of the face of Soichi of the Temple, he had to resign. You must know that in history, Asazaburo Kobayashi became the chief of staff of the Japanese invaders, he was more glorious than Tanisuo who had been idle for a long time.
.
Asazaburo Kobayashi also graduated from the Army University, but it was a little later than Tani Shouo. In addition, Otaka Katsura relied heavily on him, and he was indeed taking the lead in the 12th Army these two days. He had no credit and had no hardship.
Lao. At this moment, Tanishou got off the car and scolded him without asking any questions. Kobayashi Asazaburo immediately concluded that Tanishou was not easy to work with, so if he had the chance, he had to stay away from him.
I thought this in my heart, but I had to follow the rules of the Japanese army in terms of face. I saw that Asazaburo Kobayashi had his feet together, his waist was bent to ninety degrees, and he kept "Hai". After Hayi, think about the commander of the North China Front Army
General Shouyi of Guanshi was watching from the side. He was a person who could decide his own destiny and could not let him look down on him. Otherwise, his military career might come to an end.
So, Asazaburo Kobayashi straightened up and defended: "Commander, the Eighth Route Army Liu Yimin's army can force the 108th Division and the 33rd Division to break into pieces in one battle, which shows that their troops and firepower are extremely powerful. I know
The commander meant that the left-behind brigade of the 25th Brigade should be allowed to stick to Zhoucun, Zhangdian, and attract Liu Yimin's troops to gain time for the garrisons of Jinan and Qingdao. However, please consider that the defensive power of Jinan City is extremely empty
Although the Jinan Garrison has six infantry brigades, its firepower configuration is weak and its combat effectiveness is weak. Even the 34th Division is just a security division. It has never fought any major battles, and its combat effectiveness cannot be estimated to be too high. Instead of letting it go
The infantry brigade of the 25th Brigade, which had been tested by the war, was in Zhoucun. Zhangdian was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and was broken. It would be better to take them back and take on a defensive task in some aspects of Jinan City. I think this is in line with the current Jinan.
Defensive needs.”
Kobayashi Asazaburo's words really make sense, and Teruchi nodded secretly when he heard it.
Compared with Otaka Takatsumi, Tanisuo are both offensive generals. The difference is that Otaka Takatsumi is a bit reckless, Tanisuo is much more cruel.
In Tani Suo, if he had his original Sixth Division, a brigade would stick to the city, and the Chinese army would not be able to conquer even three divisions.
Tani Suo was sitting on the bench in Tokyo during this period. She was idle and was very careful to study the achievements and combat styles of the troops of the Chinese and Japanese armies. In addition, she was also aware of the fact that she was on the plane.
The Eighth Route Army instructor is different from the ordinary Chinese army, and its military strength is definitely not a regular division. It has super firepower and naturally has super combat power. At the beginning, he was ordered to lead the Sixth Division to reinforce Tianjin, intending to use the Eighth Route Army instructor.
They surrounded and annihilated the city of Tianjin, but ended up being empty.
After listening to Kobayashi Asazaburo's explanation, Tani Shoufu thought about it and felt that this was a wise approach. After all, all the troops in Shandong are now guard divisions and garrisons, and even the permanent divisions are only left in Xuzhou.
The 114th Division has no combat effectiveness, even the 6th Division's foot washing water. Of course, if he would never do this here, how could he easily give up the outpost? If it happens again, it will not only be a matter.
It is useless, and it will also make Chief of Staff Asazaburo Kobayashi unable to hold his face.
Tani Shouo no longer roared, and became polite. He began to tell Kobayashi Asazaburo that he had worked hard, please take care of him.
Teruchi Nakachi witnessed the performances of Tanishou and Asazaburo Kobayashi, so he felt relieved. He told Tanishou that he would make arrangements as soon as possible according to the determined combat principles, and also told Kobayashi that he would closely cooperate with Lieutenant General Tanishou and resolutely defend Jinan and Qingdao, and crush them.
Liu Yimin's army then led a fighter jet formation to Beiping.
Watching the crew of General Toshii of the Temple disappear into the sky, Tanisuo, regardless of the fatigue of the long-distance flight, asked Asazaburo Kobayashi to accompany him to inspect the airport defense.
At this time, the defense at Jinan Airport was already very strict.
As the Eighth Route Army repeatedly attacked the Japanese airports in North China, the North China Front Air Group strengthened the garrisoning force of each airport. Since Jinan Airport is an important airport, it has anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun troops stationed, and the airport ground guard forces are guarded by Jinan.
Team.
Tani Shouo walked along the way and saw that the ammunition, oil and hangar were built in a standardized manner, and he was very satisfied. The only thing that made him regret was that there were too few planes at the airport, only a few reconnaissance planes, which looked a little lonely.
. Needless to say, the planes at Jinan Airport were all destroyed by the Eighth Route Army during the battle to rescue Otaka Katsuzo and reinforce the 33rd Division.
After the inspection, Tani Shouo ordered Kobayashi Asazaburo to formulate a secret combat plan, using Jinan Airport as bait to attract the Eighth Route Army Air Brigade to attack, and then allow the aviation fighter fleet to capture the Eighth Route Army Air Force and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
Asazaburo Kobayashi also wanted to lure the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade. The problem is that the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade is like their guerrillas. He is fighting air guerrilla warfare and runs away after a sneak attack. Who knows when they will come and when they won’t come?
, setting a trap to lure the Eighth Route Army air force is indeed a good way, and it is worth a try.
Seeing that Kobayashi Asazaburo agreed with the tactics he had discussed with Soichi Tsunouchi, Tani Shou was overjoyed and immediately instructed Kobayashi Asazaburo to transfer the infantry brigade that had been withdrawn from the 25th Brigade of the 108th Division to the airport immediately.
Commanding the airport guards of Jinan garrisons, jointly taking on the airport defense mission. Gu Suofu said this: "The airport is very important. It is outside Jinan City. Once the Eighth Route Army attacks Jinan, this is their must-attack place and should have combat effectiveness.
Strong troops were stationed."
After inspecting the airport, he took a bus back to the 12th Army Command in Jinan City, washed up briefly and had supper. Tanisuo asked Kobayashi Asazaburo to accompany him to inspect the positions of the troops.
Although Jinan City was much smaller than later Jinan City, it was the capital city of Shandong and a big city in North China. It took a lot of time to walk around and go back.
When the headquarters was in the city, the lights were already everywhere.
Tani Suoo did not give any better opinions on the city defense in Jinan. It is mainly because Nishio Suo led the Second Army Command to station in Jinan for a long time. Jinan's city defense fortifications and defense strategies were Nishio Suo's city defense fortifications in Fuqu, Han.
Based on the basis, he further improved. Who is Nishio Suzusao? He was a typical professional soldier and later commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Army. Tani Suzuo's ability is far inferior to him!
The only drawback is that the combat effectiveness of the troops guarding the city is not good. I won’t talk about the Jinan Garrison anymore, so it was originally a garbage force. After this period of training, the combat effectiveness of the 34th Division has improved rapidly, but today it is intensively affected by the Eighth Route Army aviation team.
After the bombing, the losses were heavy, the wounded soldiers were all over the camp, and the morale was a bit sluggish.
Gu Shoufu knew that his destiny was tied to the city of Jinan. If he defended Jinan, he would have outstanding military achievements. If he did well, he would soon become a general. If he could not defend Jinan, he would have only one fate, that is
die!
The first commander of the 12th Army, Otaka Katsuzo, has been captured by the Eighth Route Army. It is said that the Chinese government will still conduct a public trial on him, which is to embarrass the great Japanese Empire in front of the whole world. There is no need to think about it, once the Chinese are
If you publish the photo of Takashi Takashi on trial in the newspaper, Takashi Takashi's family will be ashamed to commit suicide and apologize. Tanisuo doesn't want his family to commit suicide and apologize like Takashi Takashi's family.
Major General Asazaburo Kobayashi is still efficient. After receiving the order from Tanisuo to be the commander of the 12th Army, he had already prepared the office and bedroom for Tanisuo. He knew that although Otaka Kamezumi was for the benefit of the Japanese Empire.
He went to Weixian to supervise the battle, but he was captured after all. He was considered a short-lived and unlucky army commander. Tani Suo would not use his office.
Sitting at the desk, Tani Shouo gave his first regular order after taking office as the 12th Army: Appoint Lieutenant General Guan Guizhi, the commander of the 34th Division, as the commander of Jinan City Defense, and unified the command of the 34th Division.
, Jinan garrison and all Japanese and police corps in Jinan conduct Jinan defensive operations. In order to strengthen Jinan city defense, Gu Shoufu ordered Guan Guizhi to draw four infantry brigades from the Jinan garrison to urgently supplement the 34th Division
The regiment lost and supplementary troops were dispersed and organized into the 34th Division. Tonight, the 34th Division was used to drive the combat effectiveness of the Jinan garrison. As for the shortage of Jinan garrison troops, Gu Shoufu ordered Guan Guizhi,
Immediately arm the Jinan expatriates, select the soldiers in the village, and add them to the Jinan garrison.
The second order issued by Gu Shoufu was to require the Shandong divisions to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Eighth Route Army and find out the number, force, firepower, and commander names of the enemies in front of them. In particular, the 34th Division, which was responsible for the city defense mission in Jinan,
Be sure to draw the elite search and investigation troops, and the Shandong Guards send familiar terrain personnel to set off tonight to carry out secret investigations on the Eighth Route Army of Zhangqiu, Zhoucun and Zhangdian. Be sure to find out the main trends of Liu Yimin's troops, gather to guide the bombing for the aviation army.
Target. At the same time, instructed the secret agent chief Ohashi Kumao to use all his strength to find the secret airport of the Eighth Route Army Air Force and let the Japanese Air Force completely destroy it.
The third order issued by Tani Shouo was to order Lieutenant General Momatsu Shigeji, the commander of the 114th Division, to immediately stop the stupid multi-way attack tactics, use small forces to restrain the Eighth Route Army, concentrate the main force, and attack one point, and be sure to go directly to the Eighth Route Army in southeast Shandong.
The rear organs of the Eighth Route Army were destroyed in the heart of the base area. The commander of the 35th Division, Maeda, immediately stopped the attack on the mountainous areas of southern Shandong, concentrated their forces to advance towards Tai'an, and attacked the Eighth Route Army, which was independent and mixed into the 13th Brigade, and destroyed it in one fell swoop.
Of.
In order to ensure that the 35th Division achieves the effect of a surprise attack, Tanisuo ordered Maedada to contact the 13th Brigade of Independent Mixed, disguised as the Chinese army, and move overnight. Be sure to suddenly appear on the flank of the Eighth Route Army tomorrow and defeat the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.
The fourth order issued by Tani Suo was for the Qingdao garrison. In fact, it was a repetition of the order of General Suo Shionuchi. However, Tani Suo was even more cruel. He ordered the Qingdao garrison to immediately gather all troops, defend Qingdao, and arm the expatriates,
Select soldiers in the village to assist in defending the city. Capture all suspicious people in Qingdao City and prevent the Tujiao Route Army from using these people to sneak into the city and affecting the city defense operations.
Originally, Gu Shoufu was planning to implement the human shield plan in Jinan and Qingdao, which was to take the Chinese people to the city defense fortifications to block the guns of the Eighth Route Army. However, considering that after supplementary rectification, the combat effectiveness of the 34th Division was restored, and Jinan's city defense was very solid.
Qingdao is a city where the Japanese army has been running for many years. The rash implementation will affect the Imperial Army's rule over Qingdao, so I temporarily let it go and prepare to implement this move at the last moment.
After giving the order, Tanisuo didn't care whether Shinai Suo would rest after returning to Peking. He immediately sent a report to Shinai Suo and reported his own deployment, and asked the commander to quickly order the 14th Division to retreat quickly and move forward.
When he arrived in Tai'an, he served as the main force of the southern reinforcement group, commanded the 35th Division, and independently formed the 13th Brigade, preparing to attack Liu Yimin's troops, which might attack Jinan. At the same time, he requested Sakaichi Tezuka to urge the Kwantung Army to be the first,
The Second Division quickly entered the pass and participated in the war, commanding troops drawn from western Shandong, southern Hebei, central Hebei and Cang County to form the northern reinforcement group that defended the war in Jinan, and prepared to go south to attack Liu Yimin's troops.
Not to mention, Tani Shoufu is really active and decisive. Looking at the orders he gave, he is really bold and courageous. For example, he ordered the 114th Division to concentrate its forces and attack a little, and go directly to the heart of the Eighth Route Army's southeastern base area of Shandong.
It was very vicious. The 35th Division ordered the 35th Division to cancel the combat plan of the 114th Division and return to the army to attack the Taixi Group of the Eighth Route Army that had been independent and mixed into the 13th Brigade. It was also vicious.
The reason why Tani Shouo dared to issue such an order was because he saw that the main force of the teacher eliminated the two Japanese divisions in a battle, and the main force must be concentrated in central Shandong. In southern Shandong, southeast Shandong, Taixi and the Imperial Army,
It must be the restricted troops, troops, firepower and combat effectiveness that Liu Yimin’s headquarters has arranged to eliminate the 108th Division and the 33rd Division.
Tani Shoufu knew that the 114th Division was a four-unit special division with troops and equipment slightly lower than the permanent division, equivalent to two security divisions, and the Imperial Army trained more to serve as commanders of various grassroots troops than you.
The 25,000-man-man Manchurian Defense Forces assisted. Kobayashi Asazaburo had already told him that the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian Defense Forces is quite considerable and is incomparable to the Shandong Guards and North China Security Forces. If used well, this is a powerful force.
Assault forces should have no problems in breaking through the Eighth Route Army's defense line in southern Shandong and southeastern Shandong.
The reason why I ordered the 35th Division to cancel the original combat plan and instead raided and sieged the Eighth Route Army that was independent mixed 13th Brigade was that after reading the battle report and listening to the report of Kobayashi Asazaburo, I thought that
The secret tricks were taken. Because the independent mixed 13th Brigade reported very clearly that the Eighth Route Army mainly adopted the tactic of blocking step by step, and the main force was placed on the encirclement and annihilation of the rear guards. No complete mountain artillery, field artillery force, and fire support were found in the Eighth Route Army.
It mainly consists of infantry artillery, heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. This shows that this part of the Eighth Route Army is not able to eat the independent and form the 13th Brigade in one bite, and can only adopt the method of cutting flesh with a blunt knife, and slowly eat the independent and form the 13th Brigade in one bite.
Brigade. Tanishou is the commander of the 12th Army appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. He cannot let the Tujiao Eighth Route Army destroy a brigade's imperial army just after taking office. That is impossible to explain to His Majesty the Emperor.
In this way, Tani Shoufu was just ordered to defeat the Eighth Route Army based on his distrust of the combat effectiveness of the 35th Division. Because he knew that the 35th Division had a very disgraceful experience and was slapped on the border of Hebei and Shandong.
The Eighth Route Army was defeated, and the soldiers ran away so much that they even took off their military uniforms. If it were his original 6th Division here, it would not have been ordered to defeat, but must have been wiped out.
After giving the order, Gu Shoufu laughed when he thought about it. Liu Yimin dared to launch a large-scale attack at this time. Didn’t he just see that the Shandong Imperial Army was all guard divisions and special divisions? If it were the Sixth Division, the Fifth Division
The regiment, the 14th Division, and the 16th Division are here. Liu Yimin is afraid that he will not be so arrogant, and he will hide it tightly.
In Gusuo's view, the next battle target of the main force of the Eighth Route Army is either Jinan or Qingdao.
In comparison, the Eighth Route Army's chances of attacking Jinan are greater than Qingdao. Because Soichi Seunuchi said it very clearly that Qingdao was looted by the Eighth Route Army. Although it has recovered now, it is far from the level before the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack on Qingdao. In fact, Qingdao
Tianjin has become a burden and a waste of the Japanese Empire. In order to restore the production and life of these two cities, Japan still has to think of mobilizing food and raw materials from other places, which is simply a waste of valuable war resources.
I think Qingdao must defend itself because it is related to international opinions. But if the main force of the Eighth Route Army will capture Qingdao, it would be great. The powerful naval fleet will leave Liu Yimin with memories that will never be erased.
If such a vicious plan is realized, the Eighth Route Army will suffer great losses.
