The fifth sixty-seventh chapter blood rain came wet shirt (1)
Chapter 567: Bloody rain floats in wet battle robe (I)
The battle between the Second Education Brigade to capture the Lukou was suddenly and rapidly.
The Japanese who were stationed at the Yellow River Iron Bridge in Lukou lived a very comfortable life. They were railway garrison troops and did not have to go to the front line to work hard. On weekdays, they just patrol and stand guard, which are simple tasks that cannot be simple. When it is time to take a vacation, they can
Take the train to Jinan to enjoy the scenery of Jinan City, receive comfort, or go to the brothel in Bagua Tower to have fun. If you are interested, the Japanese will go to the two towns in the north and south to get a restaurant
Try the famous sweet and sour carp of the roe, and slap the boss a few times when you go, and blackmail some money. If you are lucky, you can also grab a few flower girls back to the stronghold for lewd humiliation.
The Japanese stationed in Luokou Town live more comfortably than the Japanese guarding the railway bridge.
Lukou is located at the Yellow River Ferry, with an important location. It directly connects to Pingjin to the north and to Quancheng to the south. It is a key place connecting Shandong, East China and North China Plain. Whether you are a noble official or a businessman or a traveler, as far as the emperor's old man
As far as the peddlers and barracks have to pass through this. Although this is the era of Japanese invaders burning, killing and looting, all industries are in decline, this is the largest ferry in North China after all, and even if you escape, you have to pass here? Therefore, the ferry in Lukou
The Japanese, from officers to soldiers, had oily lips, drunk face, bulging waist, and bloody bayonets.
Last night, the 12th Army Command ordered all troops to conduct detailed investigations on the enemy they faced, and the Japanese stationed in Luokou did send several search and investigation troops. However, this is the heart of the Japanese rule, and there are three Japanese troops in western Shandong.
The 16th Division, the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army on the Hebei-Shandong border, not only were there railway garrisons, but also Japanese troops stationed in De County and Cang County. They all faced their own strongholds and did not face the enemy.
, the search and investigation changed, and it became a disaster for the surrounding villages to grab money and grain to ask for women. Naturally, I didn't expect that the elite Second Education Brigade would hide in the cliffs, ditches and dry reeds beside the Yellow River.
This cannot be blamed on the Japanese for being careless. Most of the locals usually don’t go to these places, let alone the Japanese army who were stationed in the harbor. Jiantian only knew how to plunder money and rape women.
Tani Shouo, who issued orders in Jinan City, wouldn't know that the defenders of the Rakou actually carried out his orders like this.
When it was just dark, the restaurants in Beilukou Town were still open as usual, and the Japanese who were stationed in the Railway Bridge and the Likou Ferry had just had dinner.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army moved.
The attack on the railway bridge was the Fourth Regiment of the Second Education Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, which was a well-known main force. The Second Regiment of the Railway Bridge and the Second Regiment of the Jinan North Gate, Liu Jian naturally had to sacrifice his treasure sword and put the Fourth Regiment, which was as famous as the First Regiment of the Jiaoyi regiment.
The League sent up to take down the railway bridge in one fell swoop and open the passage to Jinan.
The first-class main combat such as the First Group, the Fourth Group, and the Seventh Group are different from other troops. If the tactical actions were made into a movie, they would definitely surprise the directors who did not know what the war was going on in the future, because there was no
The spectacular scenes in the movie are all working quietly.
The soldiers then covered the twilight and terrain, forming a battle formation and quickly reeling in the enemy. When the sentry on the Japanese were standing guard found something wrong, the 1st Battalion and the 1st Battalion of the Fourth Regiment had arrived.
Use the most elite troops to deal with the most tragic railway garrison in the Japanese army. Everyone knows the ending. Big, big, big, big, a few rockets drilled into the Japanese bunker, and directly smashed the Japanese bunker into ruins.
The soldiers rushed up quickly, and all the Bayi automatic rifles, submachine guns, and 38 large covers in their hands opened fire. A small team of Japanese soldiers stationed at the bridgehead on the south side of the railway bridge were wiped out without any time to react.
The explosion of rockets and gunshots alarmed the Japanese stronghold on the north side of the railway bridge. The searchlights quickly shone over. The Japanese who were leisurely and contented just now became messy. The whistle, the officers scolded, and the soldiers' running steps.
The sound of the gun bolt was heard. Soon the Japanese heavy machine gun started to fire.
This is the difference between the elite troops in the hundreds of battles and the garbage troops. Think about it, the railway bridge of the Yellow River Highway in Luokou is 1,255.2 meters long. On a dark night, what can the Japanese light and heavy machine guns hit? This is not to expose their own firepower points, give instructions to the Eighth Route Army
Are you bombarding the target? Only the railway garrison that has never been on the battlefield will do this. If it were a field force, it would definitely be silent and wait until the Eighth Route Army approached before firing. Now the Japanese are doing this and see elite soldiers in the battle
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Second Brigade and the Fourth Regiment of the Teaching Regiment, they immediately knew that they were meeting a group of new recruits.
The Japanese stationed at Nanlikou are different. Although they are from the Jinan garrison and are the garbage troops like the railway garrison, they have not been attacked for the time being and have sufficient reaction time. Under the command of the officers, they are on the way to the superiors.
The Eighth Route Army reported that the Eighth Route Army had sneaked into the railway bridge. While entering the position, it also sent a squadron to run and reinforce the garrison on the north side of the railway bridge.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, Liu Jian saw that the Japanese firepower point on the south side of the railway bridge was exposed, and immediately ordered the artillery regiment to open fire to cover the Fourth Regiment to seize the railway bridge.
The Eighth Route Army artillery fired, and the shells flew over the Yellow River and landed accurately on the Japanese positions on the south side of the railway bridge. The Japanese immediately tasted the bitter fruit of their rash fire.
Zeng Chunjian, the political commissar of the Fourth Education Brigade, personally directed the Fourth Education Brigade to seize the bridge battle. Liu Jian explained to him clearly that he used anti-aircraft cannons to deal with the artillery towers and bunkers south of the Japanese Bridge. Therefore, he led two anti-aircraft cannons to act with the Fourth Regiment.
After all, it was night, and there was a Yellow River. Although the Japanese on the north side of the railway bridge was hit by artillery fire, there were always bunkers. So, when the 4th Regiment of the Fourth Regiment rushed onto the railway bridge less than 500 meters, the Japanese
Fired again, bullets hit the iron bridge deck, sparks were sprayed, and soldiers were immediately hit, and blood flowed on the track.
Zeng Chunjian, who was following the first battalion, was furious and immediately ordered "pull up the anti-aircraft cannons!"
The anti-aircraft gun was pulled up, and at a distance of 700 meters, the gunner debugged a little, and two bullets were fired, and two shells were fired out. A bunker of the Japanese that was spitting bullets was immediately overturned.
The soldiers crawling on the railway immediately started running low and rushed towards the south bank.
When the Japanese squadron that set out from Nanlikou to reinforce the railway bridge arrived at the bridgehead, they ran into the Eighth Route Army, which had just been resolved and was about to attack Nanlikou. Both sides shot wildly, and the Japanese retreated. The Eighth Route Army was defeated.
The tail chased after a quick chase and attacked Nanlukou.
After capturing the railway bridge, the main force of the Second Education Brigade drove continuously to the south bank of the Yellow River through the railway bridge. On the south bank, one of them went to capture the Nanlikou. The large army embarked on the Jili Highway and advanced towards Jinan City.
At this moment, the Eighth Route Army artillery group on the line on Wangsherenzhuang to the east of Jinan fired.
After the war, Zeng Chunjian, the political commissar of the Second Education Brigade, had a question, that is, did the Japanese know that anti-aircraft guns can be placed in flat tanks and artillery towers and bunkers? Do you know that the Eighth Route Army has rocket launchers?
Brigade Commander Liu Jian replied very well: "The Japanese know a ghost! If they knew, would they still dare to show off their power everywhere in the turtle shells as thin as iron? Will they still have such a lot of effort to repair these brick and wood artillery towers?
That can only bully local armed forces and guerrillas. In my eyes, it is a pile of garbage.”
Tanisuo sat on the bench for so long in Tokyo and finally sat on the throne of the commander of the 12th Army, and was very energetic.
According to Gu Suofu's idea, he wanted to use Jinan City as bait to lure the main force of the teacher Liu Yimin to attack the city, and then mobilize the elite Japanese division to gather the Eighth Route Army teachers to annihilate the city of Jinan. His plan was obtained from the North China Front Army and the base camp.
It turns out that only the first Kanto Army was transferred and the second division was transferred to the war. As a result, three divisions were transferred to the base camp. Among them, the 23rd Division was strengthened by the Kanto Army, which was different from the security division in North China.
The 14th Division, which belongs to the First Army, also returned from Zhengzhou to reinforce the battlefield in Jinan. All this made Gu Shoufu ecstatic and felt that it was time for him to shine.
.
This afternoon, Tani Shouo felt in a very good mood.
Both the sent out reconnaissance troops and the air reconnaissance aircraft reported that the Eighth Route Army had arrived in Zhangqiu, and the specific strength was unknown. The reconnaissance team could not go deep into the Eighth Route Army defense zone and could not figure out what size the Eighth Route Army was. The aircraft was inferred from the smoke area.
The Eighth Route Army arrived in Zhangqiu.
That's enough! Tani Shoufu took a ruler to measure it on the map, and then transferred the telegrams sent by the 25th Brigade of the 108th Division to read it carefully, and felt that it was normal to march.
Speed, the main force of the Eighth Route Army cannot reach Zhangqiu, so it should be their vanguard. It seems that the fish bit the hook!
What made Gu Suo even more happy was that the war in southern Shandong was progressing smoothly. With the cooperation of the Manchukuo National Defense Force, the 114th Division implemented a breakthrough tactic and broke through the defense line of an Eighth Route Army, forcing the Eighth Route Army to retreat step by step.
The war in Thailand was even more gratifying. The 35th Division successfully launched a surprise attack. The Eighth Route Army lifted the siege of the Independent Mixed Thirteenth Brigade and began to retreat. The 35th Division and the Independent Mixed Thirteenth Brigade were in the aviation group
Under cover, he had already pounced on it and destroyed the Eighth Route Army's rear guard.
These two wars allowed Tani Shouo to clarify the numbers of the Eighth Route Army in Taixi and the Eighth Route Army in Lunan. One was the Independent Regiment of Southern Shandong and the other was the Third Guard Regiment of Taixi Guard Brigade.
Tani Shouo immediately reported this information to the North China Front Army Headquarters and Base Camp, and won praise. You should know that since the Japanese army fought with the Eighth Route Army's instructors, they have always suffered losses and not taken advantage of them, let alone found the bodies of the Eighth Route Army to identify the number of the army.
Prince Zairen of Xianyuan was excited and praised him for his praise, saying that Tani Suo was the leader in the Japanese army, both wise and brave, and had a sharp style.
In addition to being happy, Tani Shoufu ordered the Japanese army in southern Shandong and western Thailand to speed up the attack speed. With the heroic and tenacious style of the Japanese army and the roundabout sneak attack tactics, they completely defeated the enemy in front of them and set a good start for the complete annihilation of Teacher Liu Yimin.
During dinner, Tani Shouo received a report from the Lekou Guards about the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack on the Yellow River Bridge in Lekou.
Gu Shoufu was shocked. He never thought that the Eighth Route Army would attack the Luokou Bridge. What did Liu Yimin want to do? Did he want to blow up the bridge, block the reinforcements on the northern line, and encircle Jinan?
Tani Shouo strictly ordered the defenders of the Lekou to repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and ordered Lieutenant General Guan Guizhi to draw troops to quickly reinforce the Lekou. At the same time, he ordered the Japanese troops stationed in De County to launch a quick launch to attack the Eighth Route Army that sneaked into the Lekou Bridge.
As soon as the order was issued, he received a report from the Guards of Luokou, saying that the Yellow River Bridge in Beilukou and Luokou were lost.
Tani Shouo's good mood was completely dispelled in this short period of time. He had served as the commander of the 6th Division, the most elite Japanese army, and knew that the Eighth Route Army first attacked the Likou Bridge, which was to block the Jinan defenders to the north.
Retreat and cut off the support of the Japanese army on the northern front to Jinan, and catch turtles in a jar.
Tansuo did not dare to neglect, so he immediately reported the situation to Shouyi, the Japanese army stationed in De County must retake the Yellow River Iron Bridge.
At this moment, Tani Shouo heard the sound of cannons shaking from the earth.
Kobayashi Asazaburo stumbled in and opened his mouth and said, "Commander, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack. They used a large-scale group of artillery. From the sound of artillery, it can be judged that at least there are more than 300 field cannons and mountain cannons.
. ""
Tansuo now understood that the Eighth Division and the Tenth Division all died under the Eighth Route Army's artillery group. Such powerful artillery fire was his original Sixth Division. If he fought in the field, he would have been
The Eighth Route Army bombed into ashes.
Tan Shoufu was shocked and scolded Kobayashi Asano and said, "What's the panic? The city walls of Jinan are strong. The Eighth Route Army is a Chinese army. Liu Yimin would not use so many cannons to bombard Jinan. As soon as the sky is dawn, the aviation fleet can be dispatched.
, blow up Liu Yimin and his 8th Route Army to death, he is here to die. Go and send a report to Commander Suichi Temple, asking him to urge reinforcements from both north and south to act quickly. I will go up to the city wall to take a look."
When Tani Shouo reached the city wall, Lieutenant General Guan Keiji, the commander of the 34th Division, was already there.
Seeing Tani Shouo coming, Guan Guizhi saluted respectfully, and then pointed to the direction of Licheng on the east side and said, "Please look at the commander. The lights illuminate the sky, which means that Liu Yimin's army has many vehicles!"
Only then did Gu Shoufu realize that his judgment of the strength of Liu Yimin was ridiculous. He just thought that he could not reach Jinan at the normal infantry marching speed, so why did he forget that this guy had been to Tianjin, Qingdao, Lianyungang, and even eliminated it.
So many Imperial Army troops must have seized many cars, rubber wheel chariots and war horses. His maneuverability is probably even stronger than that of the Sixth Division!
At this time, Tani Shouo realized that Jinan City might be in danger.
Jinan was formerly called Jinan Road and Daibei Road, and it was only renamed Jinan City on July 1, 1929.
Unlike other cities, Jinan City is a city-set city, which is typically easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Before the Qing Dynasty, Jinan City was just an old city with four city gates. The east gate was called Qichuan Gate, the west gate was called Leyuan Gate, the south gate was called Shuntian Gate, and the north gate was called Huibo Gate, which was Beishui Gate. The old city wall was high.
12-14 meters, 10-12 meters thick. Every 70-100 meters, there is a turret protruding outward for 4 meters (commonly known as horse face), and the moat is five, six to two, and thirty meters wide. It is equipped inside the city gate.
There is a urn city, so each city gate is a double city gate.
During the Xianfeng period, the number of residents on the east, south and west sides outside the city increased, and the business was prosperous, and the outer city was built. The circumference of the outer city wall was 20 kilometers, and it was built with earthen walls, commonly known as the wei wall. During the Tongzhi period, the earthen wall was rebuilt. It is a stone embankment wall. The north earth embankment was abolished and it shrinks to the northwest and northeast corners of the city wall. It has a circumference of 12,221 meters, a height of 5 meters, a base thickness of 5 meters, and a top width of 3.3 meters. There are 14 forts along the embankment. There are more than 3,300 chassis gates. There are 7 weizi gates: the east is Yonggu Gate, commonly known as Dongshefang Gate; the south is Dai'an Gate, commonly known as Nanxuzi Gate; the south is Yongsui Gate; the west is Yongzhen Gate; the northwest is It is Ji'anmen, commonly known as Beixiaomen; the north is Haiyanmen, commonly known as Caishixuzimen; the northeast is Yongjingmen. There are external moats dug outside the wall of Wuzi, eight meters wide and four meters deep.
During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, because the old city wall seriously affected the traffic inside and outside the city, a gate was added on the basis of the Ming Dynasty city wall: Kenji Gate east of the north gate, Xunli Gate south of the east gate, and west of the south gate Open Kunshun Gate and open Ganjian Gate north of the west gate.
After the opening of commercial ports in 1904, in order to facilitate transportation between urban areas and commercial ports, Pulimen was added to the outer city wall, and Phosphorus was added to the fifth year of the Republic of China. After the establishment of Qilu University, it was the medical school and hospital in the Wuzili area. Transportation, a new gate was opened directly opposite the school gate of Nanxin Street, and in the early 1930s, Zhongshan Gate was opened in the southeast corner of the Wet Wall.
So far, there are 19 city gates in Jinan City, including eight city gates in the old city and eleven city gates in the outer city wall.
Because the Middle East, South, West Old City Gate and Wengcheng Tower were destroyed by Japanese artillery fire when Han Fuju was in charge of Shandong and Jinan had another embankment protection, so he simply demolished all the three gate towers and set up the city walls as Ring Road.
After the cannon group launched an attack, Liu Yimin led the division headquarters to leave the Hudi Catholic Church in Zaoyuan, took a car to Wangsherenzhuang, and established a command center in the reading hall in the village.
Wangsherenzhuang is fifteen kilometers away from Jinan, and can be reached in more than 20 minutes by car and within an hour of horse riding.
After the location of the division headquarters was determined, the communications battalion was busy setting up radio antennas to connect telephone lines to various brigades and regiments.
The telephone line was out of touch for a while, but the radio was opened soon.
Liu Yimin first sent a report to the Chairman and the headquarters. The report had launched an attack and progressed smoothly. Then he sent a report to various brigades and the Shandong South Group Hong Chaoyuan, Taixi Group Chen Shiqu, Zhao Shan, the Eighth Education Brigade, and Xu Shiyou of the Shandong West Police Brigade, asking them to report in a timely manner. Progress and changes in the enemy situation.
Zeng Zhongsheng reminded Liu Yimin that the combat plan allowed the artillery group to directly attack the city wall and tanks directly entered the city to launch an attack.
The reason why Zeng Zhongsheng reminded me like this was mainly because in the past, the instructors paid great attention to protecting cultural relics. Generally speaking, Liu Yimin strictly prohibited bombarding urban buildings. But when is it now? There are elite Japanese divisions on both the north and south lines. The land rushed to Jinan, trying to annihilate the main force of the instructor under Jinan City. Jinan City is a typical example of easy defense and difficult attack. Not only is the city solid, but there is also a city in the city. We must be limited to the concept of protecting cultural relics and dare not let cannons go. The tanks entered the city and only used ordinary means to attack the city. I am afraid that they would not be able to take it down for a day or a night. After dawn, the Japanese army fleet would come, and the instructor would really be bleeding from the city of Jinan!
Liu Yimin nodded and told Zeng Zhongsheng that according to the combat plan, fire attacks can be carried out except for the houses, except for the Japanese army's stubborn resistance!
