After Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong led the division headquarters out of Weicheng, it was night that Japanese planes could not come to bomb, and all the cars were driving lights and heading towards Jinan.
After capturing Weicheng, the car of Xia Yuan Xiongmi, the commander of the 108th Division, could have been used as a car for Liu and Luo, but Liu Yimin thought that the car was not a jeep, with poor off-road capabilities and unsuitable for combat command use, so he ordered
He was allocated to the field hospital to serve the doctors brought back by Ni Hua from the United States. In this way, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan took three trucks respectively. They sat on the secondary seat of the cab, and the carriage was filled with consultants.
, confidential personnel and guards.
Liu Yimin and his friends left late. The first brigade of the Education Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade had already returned from Hancun in the afternoon. Together with the Artillery Brigade and the Air Defense Brigade, he drove directly west with the help of smoke cover. Only the Sixth brigade of the Education Brigade, which was set off from Pingdu, still landed.
Behind the division headquarters.
Because of concern for the war, Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, the light chariot, passed the troops that were marching along the way, and galloped all the way. At 1 a.m., he arrived at Zaoyuan in the central part of Zhangqiu County, and met Zeng Zhongsheng who had already arrived here.
At the Hudi Catholic Church in Zaoyuan, Liu Yimin listened to Zeng Zhongsheng's detailed arrangements for the capture of Jinan.
Zeng Zhongsheng reported that according to the original information of the Jinan Working Committee and the map drawn by Wang Laohu after making a big fuss in Jinan, Jinan City was divided into three parts: inner city, outer city and commercial port. The Japanese army took Jinan inner city as the core defense position, with outer city and commercial port as
The basic position is composed of the outer commanding heights of Jinan. Among them, the eastern barriers of Jinan are Maoling Mountain, Yanchi Mountain, Huilongling Mountain, the southern barriers are Qianfoshan and Ma'anshan, and the northern barriers are Yellow River. The airport is in Zhangzhuang in the west.
Judging from the current enemy situation, the 34th Division of the Japanese Army was air strike by our aviation brigade, and the casualties should be between two and four thousand people. In this way, the 34th Division of the Japanese Army in Jinan and the Jinan Garrison,
The infantry brigade withdrawn from Zhoucun and the pseudo-Shandong Guards of the 108th Division should have a total force of about 20,000 to 22,000 people.
Perhaps because of the limited military strength, the Japanese army set out from the north at Luokou, went through Wangsherenzhuang in Chengxian County, Maoling Mountain, Yanchi Mountain in the east of the city, back to Longling to Qianfoshan and Ma'anshan in the south of the city, and arranged a loose peripheral defensive position.
The brigade investigation company investigated, with the entire periphery of the airport and the Yellow River defense, and the total strength of the Japanese army was no more than one corps. However, the Japanese army should have wanted to use Wangsherenzhuang as a fulcrum to guard the Jiqing Highway and Jiaoji Railway, and are speeding up construction.
Defense line. Although the troops are not particularly strong in other peripheral commanding heights, as long as the fortifications are completed, they can form a support point that can fight independently.
As for the deployment of Japanese troops in the inner city, outer city and commercial port of Jinan, the Fourth Brigade Reconnaissance Company arrived for a short time and could not reach close to the investigation. It could only rely on the Japanese city defense fortification maps of the Jinan Working Committee and the maps drawn by Wang Laohu.
Deploy operations.
After talking about the enemy situation, Zeng Zhongsheng reported: "Teacher Commander and Political Commissar, according to the enemy situation, I plan to adjust the deployment, and I am determined to use the first brigade as the arrow, the third brigade, and the seventh brigade as its two wings, concentrate the artillery group, and capture the Wangsherenzhuang
, gathered and annihilated the enemy that was defending here. After the attack was successful, the first brigade and the cavalry brigade detoured from the south of Jinan City, quickly captured the airport, and then attacked from west to east. The third brigade and the seventh brigade attacked from east to west along the Jinan Highway
. The Second Education Brigade of the Second Education Brigade was cancelled to capture the airport. After the Ministry seized the Lukou, the Fourth Education Brigade attacked from north to south. The Fourth Education Brigade was responsible for dividing, encircling and annihilation of the enemies of Maoling Mountain, Yanchi Mountain, Huilongling, Qianfoshan, and Ma'anshan. The Sixth Education Brigade served as the general reserve team
The artillery brigade unified command of all artillery soldiers of the East Group, responsible for tearing open the defense and outer defense lines of the Japanese city. The air defense brigade is responsible for air defense operations. In this way, we formed a four-sided encirclement and attack on Jinan City. Jinan City, this time it is necessary to
It's back to us."
After listening to Zeng Zhongsheng's deployment, Liu Yimin thought about it and it was similar to the deployment of Huaye's capture of Jinan in history. The difference is that Wang Yaowu used 100,000 troops to defend Jinan, and Huaye used 140,000 troops to attack the city, and used the
180,000 troops were built, and this time the Japanese army had only about 20,000 defenders. Our army used the city to attack the city to include the first brigade, the second brigade, the third brigade, the fourth brigade, the sixth brigade, and the seventh brigade.
Infantry Brigade, a cavalry brigade, an artillery brigade, and an air defense brigade, the total strength is not much different from the siege of Huaye in history. The firepower is only stronger than that of Huaye, and the armored troops participate in the war, which has the advantage.
Except for a few uprisings, the other troops of Wang Yaowu were baptized by the Anti-Japanese War and had rich combat experience. However, the current Japanese troops are guard divisions and garrisons, with weak combat power. In addition, the mountains around Jinan are not
No matter what kind of mountain is not high, during the Jinan Battle, the Ninth Column conquered the Maoling Mountain with steel and cement fortifications in one hour, turning it into the Ninth Column command center, and the Fourth Brigade should be able to
Quickly capture the outer positions of these Japanese troops. You should know that the Fourth Education Brigade has six infantry regiments and artillery regiments, including the Tenth Education Regiment, the Eleventh Education Regiment, the Twelfth Education Regiment, the New Fourth Education Regiment, the Supplementary Regiment, the Central Shandong Independent Regiment and other six infantry regiments and artillery regiments.
The main brigade of the regiment, cavalry battalion, engineering battalion, baggage battalion, and guard battalion are sufficient.
After thinking it through, Liu Yimin told Zeng Zhongsheng that the first brigade would not have to go to the airport anymore. This task was handed over to the cavalry brigade, so that the cavalry brigade would not capture the airport first, and set up an ambush around the airport to leave a way out for the Japanese to see if they would
Escape to the west gate and enter the ambush circle of the cavalry brigade. The first brigade, the second brigade, the third brigade, and the seventh brigade are all used for siege operations. There are more than a dozen city gates in Jinan and a moat, so the attack action must be
Hurry up, you must attack the city before the Japanese blew up the bridge on the moat. Teach the first brigade, the second brigade, and the second brigade are all powerful weapons for siege. Don't have to wait for when? As long as the city is broken, the Japanese brigade will be
It is not scary to run out. Outside Jinan City, they can't run away from our tank tracks, car tires and war horses.
Cai Zhong interrupted: "That's it. Taking the Jinqing Highway as the main line of attack, the main force of the attack bypassed the Japanese army's east and commanding heights in the south, and then broke through Wangsherenzhuang and rushed straight to Jinan City. This is the heart-wrenching black tiger. Maybe he could see it.
Our army is very powerful, and the Japanese will immediately shrink to Jinan City. The Fourth Brigade can break through the Japanese's outer commanding heights without much effort."
Luo Ronghuan looked at Cai Zhong and said, "Director Cai's judgment has a basis for validity. However, the order given to the Fourth Brigade of Education cannot make them have any thoughts of luck or underestimating the enemy. It will cost a lot of money. I have to tell them that I must
Carefully investigate and prepare for bloody battles. Strong artillery fire cannot take care of everything. When the Japanese have a position to rely on them, they will definitely have a strong fighting will. With such a big action, it is impossible for the Japanese to not know. All troops must be fully mobilized
, prepare to fight hard battles and bloody battles. Chief of Staff, you modify the specific combat plan according to the division commander's opinions, and hold a combat meeting after the division commander's approval and issue it to each unit for implementation."
Liu Yimin looked at his watch and said to Zeng Zhongsheng: "Our army has just ended the second phase of the Jiaoji Road Battle and there is no time to rest. Order all troops to immediately turn to the hidden rest and recuperate when they have arrived. Those on the road should speed up. Today, during the day
All troops must ferment smoke and be wary of air defense. A combat meeting is held here at 2 pm and a full-line attack is launched at 6 pm. You must take down Jinan before dawn tomorrow, end the battle, and turn to hidden rest and air defense operations."
After saying that, Liu Yimin said to Cai Zhong again: "Come the cars of the First Brigade of the Education and the Bailout Regiment, return immediately, and pick up the Sixth Brigade of the Education. They are too far away. When the soldiers arrive, they are afraid that the Battle of Jinan will be fought.
It's all over. In that case, Zhang Hongtao will curse! Please note that the convoy must take strict prevention and control measures to prevent the Japanese planes from reconnaissance and bombing tomorrow."
Cai Zhong and Zeng Zhongsheng were both busy with their own efforts. Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan sat in front of the map and began to carefully consider the combat deployment again. That way, it looked like two old monks who had entered into meditation.
After dawn, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of planes to conduct strict searches and reconnaissance of the vast areas between Jinan and Qingdao. Unfortunately, when looking down from the air, the ground was filled with smoke and the targets on the ground could not be seen clearly. There was no way, so the Japanese plane had to send many
The reconnaissance aircraft monitored and investigated, and the aircraft flew towards the direction of the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops in Xuzhou, southern Shandong and the retreat direction of the 13th Brigade of the Independence in Thailand.
What the Japanese army could not have imagined was that the Eighth Route Army Lunan Group and the Taixi Group both received telegrams from the Special Air Defense Team, following the example, fermenting smoke to cover the battlefield, making kites and Kongming lanterns overnight, setting up aerial mine arrays, and allowing the Japanese to fly
You can't drop bombs at low altitude or dive strafing, you can only throw bombs at high altitude, and the bombing effect will be greatly reduced.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Jingjing finally completed the task assigned by Liu Yimin, and came to Liu Yimin with the press release of "Welcome to You, Temple Master" written by herself.
Entering the Houdy Catholic Church, we met the staff and the cadres of the Intelligence Analysis Department were busy, and the ticking telegrams kept ringing. Liu Yimin, Political Commissar Luo, Director Cai, and Chief of Staff Zeng gathered in front of the map, Deputy Secretary of the Staff
Director Zhu Zhexiao and Zhang Linfeng were working on the picture.
Jingjing knew that it was a coincidence that the leaders were studying the combat deployment, so she handed over the manuscript to a staff officer, walked over and lifted the kettle that made a sound, found three tea jars, poured them one by one, and picked up one by one.
When he arrived beside Luo Ronghuan, he called out, "Political Commissar Luo, please drink water", and handed over the water tank.
Luo Ronghuan heard the scream, turned around and took the water tank, took a sip, looked up and saw that it was Jingjing, and smiled and said, "Our talented girl is here, and she knows that she has poured water for me. Not bad, really
He is sensible."
Jingjing smiled pursed her lips, said, "Thank you for the praise of the political commissar", and then brought the other two tea jars and handed them to Cai Zhong and Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin was watching Zhu Zhexiao and Zhang Linfeng work on the map, marking the Japanese positions, firepower points, and troop forces signaling the attack routes of our troops. He was highly focused. He heard Jingjing say please drink water, and then said, "Play the piano randomly."
, What water should you drink? Is it important to fight or drink water?"
Jingjing was full of expectations and scolded her, and she became dumbfounded. After a while, she couldn't hold back her tears and dripped downwards.
Cai Zhong knew that Liu Yimin was too focused and might not know that Jingjing was coming to deliver the manuscript, so he hurriedly said, "Teacher, it is Comrade Jingjing who is coming to deliver the manuscript."
After saying this, Liu Yimin came to his senses. He looked up and saw that the little girl was crying. He reached out to help her wipe her tears. After wiping, he remembered that this action was a bit too intimate and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it just now.
It’s you, you have a bad attitude, please forgive me. How about it, have you written the manuscript? Take it to me to read it."
Jingjing was still wiping her tears just now. Liu Yimin helped her wipe her tears, and she stopped crying. She was petrified and stood blankly. She soon blushed on her face, even the slender and white.
The neck was dyed with red. When Liu Yimin heard that he wanted to read the manuscript, he glanced at Liu Yimin quickly and ran to take the manuscript from the staff officer and handed it to Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin also felt a little strange in his heart. After taking the manuscript, he looked up. Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong were both staring at him. They felt even more strange. They hurriedly pulled a stool and sat down to read the manuscript.
Jingjing is worthy of being a graduate of Peking University. She is indeed good at writing skills. This press release is very good. Not only does it reflect all the explanations of Liu Yimin, but it is also very literary, which brings Liu Yimin's heroism and the holy spirit of the temple.
The laughter and scolding were written vividly. After Liu Yimin read it, he only made some modifications in some places, which aggravated the misleading of Soichi in the Temple, so he asked Jingjing to use it as a public release for publication.
When Jingjing was about to leave with the manuscript, Cai Zhong said, "Comrade Jingjing, you are here, where is Comrade Zhao Xiaoman? Has she arrived?"
Jingjing looked shy at this time, and her voice was low and almost caught up with the mosquitoes buzzing: "Report to Director Cai, Xiaoman has arrived, we arrived with the guard group."
Cai Zhong continued: "Comrade Jingjing, after entering Jinan City, you must not only do a good job in interviews, but also pay attention to safety. You have to use the manuscript you wrote before you publish it. Some manuscripts with strong policy nature need to be discussed.
.This time, going to Jinan is different from entering Tianjin and Qingdao. If you play well, we may need to carefully study the city policy. What do you think?"
Jingjing hurriedly saluted and reported: "Thank you, Director Cai for your concern, I will definitely execute the order."
Luo Ronghuan interjected: "Tell Comrade Zhao Xiaoman that after entering Jinan City, you must do a good job in literary and artistic publicity and let the people of Jinan understand our military policies as soon as possible. Let her come too and report their preparations. If you have any in the future
When I was empty, I could come to see us often. Girls are diligent and know that they would pour some water for us, which is much better than those brigade commanders and political commissars."
Jingjing's face turned redder when she said it.
After Jingjing left, Liu Yimin was embarrassed to say Luo Ronghuan and asked Cai Zhong: "Director Cai, what's wrong with you? Didn't your political department take out this city policy long ago? What else do you need to study?"
Cai Zhong said: "Brother, this is a big city in Jinan. The policies we set are inevitably not available, and they need to be supplemented and improved. Let's talk about them after entering the city."
Only then did Liu Yimin stop talking and continue working.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the instructor held a combat meeting, and cadres from all the troops and above participating in the war in the East Group attended the meeting. Zeng Zhongsheng made detailed arrangements for the entire battle on the map at the meeting, and explained the combat tasks and attack routes of each brigade.
Clear.
After Zeng Zhongsheng made the arrangements, Luo Ronghuan mobilized pre-warly and required all troops to strictly abide by discipline. The people of Jinan were enslaved by the Japanese invaders for so long, and the Eighth Route Army must let them experience the happiness of liberation. After completing the combat mission, in addition to serving as the Jinan police officer
For the troops on the mission, other troops must evacuate quickly and rest in seclusion.
Liu Yimin stood up amid the applause of the cadres and began to speak: "Comrades, we have just finished the second phase of the Jiaoji Road Battle, captured three lieutenant generals, and eliminated two divisions. The results are so great.
It can be described as the word "glory". In theory, the entire army should be on the verge of rest at this time, but we cannot rest and we must fight continuously. Because once we miss the fighter plane, the Japanese will consolidate and improve Jinan's defense. Let's think about it again
It would be difficult to conquer Jinan. I know that the comrades are all very tired and sleepy. There is no way. There are so many Japanese devils, they line up and wash their necks and wait for us to kill them! Everyone said that we can give up killing Japanese devils.
Is there a chance?"
The cadres naturally shouted in unison, "No!"
Liu Yimin continued: "Jinan is a good place. Jinpu and Jiaoji railways meet here, bordering the Yellow River in the north and Mount Tai in the south. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Under normal circumstances, the Japanese army would never dream of our army.
Tai Sui's head was about to attack Jinan, but we didn't believe in evil, so we had to take action against Jinan. Why? This is because our army won consecutive battles, had excellent weapons and was well-trained. Now the situation in Jinan is that our enemy and our strength are shifting.
The Japanese army is a garrison division and a garrison team, all of which are garbage. Our army's 100,000 elite troops will attack Jinan, and I am strong and the enemy is weak. It can be said that Jinan Prefecture is just a ripe persimmon waiting for us to pick it!"
The cadres were laughing, and several brigade commanders began to ask for an attack order.
Liu Yimin also said: "Although our army has strong firepower and is very sure to capture Jinan City. But I must tell my comrades that the Japanese are not made of mud. The guns in their hands are not fire sticks, and they can still kill people.
After the leaders of each unit return, they must deduce their respective attack tasks, carefully configure firepower, and ensure that they succeed in one blow. I will explain it to the comrades here that the Zhoucun Heroes' Regiment was born. This time, the capture of Jinan is
If the troops fought well and fought bravely and tenaciously, they were awarded the title of Jinan Heroes. Have you heard it clearly?"
Liu Yimin is best at inciting. Before every battle, he burned the troops to a strong fire, so that morale and fighting spirit can be maximized. As soon as he finished speaking, several regiment commanders stood up together.
We are Jinan Heroes Group.
Liu Yimin waved his hand and announced the end of the meeting.
