January 21, 1939, is the second day of the twelfth lunar month of the Xu Yin year of the lunar calendar, and the Great Cold, which is also the fifteenth anniversary of Lenin's death.
The cold day by day, the cold wind swept, wrapping the land of North China into an ice cave-like world.
No matter how cold it is, the battlefield between the two armies is hot and hot.
After commanding the troops of the 35th Japanese Army Division, Maeda Maeda, and Masafan Morita, the commander of the 13th Brigade, commanded the troops to break through the first blocking line of the Eighth Route Army, they did not taste the joy of victory, but were instead injured and killed in a series of casualties.
The numbers made the thunderous. In particular, the Eighth Route Army leaflets were found from the soldiers, which made the two old devils even more frightened. The two old devils immediately ordered the captains of each unit to command the troops to sing Japanese military songs to boost morale.
After some trouble, the 35th Division of the Japanese Army and the 13th Brigade launched a fierce attack on the porcelain kiln. After the plan was achieved, it quickly headed north and surrounded Dawenkou.
Just as the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Mixed Transformation attacked along the Jinpu Road, Guanjing Longchang commanded the 14th Division to arrive in Yanzhou.
After the 10th Division was eliminated in the Hebei-Shandong Border Battle, Guanjing Longchang commanded the 14th Division to participate in the Japanese heavy army group's large-scale mobilization of Shandong. In the bloody battle in Zhoucun, he learned about the power of the Eighth Route Army.
The combat effectiveness of a unit comes from the command style of the military commander to a large extent. Like the 14th Division, under the command of Kenji Doihara, once rushed to eastern Henan for thousands of miles. The combat style is simply quite sharp.
The reason is not how high Kenji Doihara's command level is, but that this old Japanese devil Doihara has been engaged in spies in China for a long time, thinking that he has thoroughly studied the economic, and military affairs of Chinese society, and from the bottom of his heart
Only when they looked down on the Zhong*** team, they dared to travel thousands of miles with a division. Doihara was like this, and Seishiro Itagaki who committed suicide by committing suicide by cesaki. If they had met an opponent like the Eighth Route Army at the beginning of the war invasion of China, they might not have dared to do so.
furious.
Guanjing Longchang is different from Doihara. When he took over as the commander of the 14th Division, the Eighth Route Army had already made shocking achievements in North China and was extremely alert. The last time he participated in the grand storm of Shandong, Chen Dayong commanded the main force of the 7th Brigade.
The 33rd Division defeated the entire line, Guanjing Longchang had elite troops and powerful firepower, but the first thing he thought of was self-protection rather than counterattack and detour, cutting off the Eighth Route Army's retreat, which shows that he was no longer as bold and rampant as Doihara.
, he became a cautious commander who was afraid of being annihilated.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Yimin looked down on him from the bottom of his heart and wanted to resolve the Japanese Southern Front Group in one battle.
After Guanjing Longchang arrived in Yanzhou, he did not rush to launch an attack. He had to wait for the Eighth Route Army blocking troops and the 35th Division to form a difficult task to kill the 13th Brigade. The Eighth Route Army blocking troops were all in strength.
Only when he was exposed could he rush out. Anyway, Yanzhou is not far from Jinan, and the road mileage is only more than 100 kilometers. His 14th Division has been fully mechanized and has a fast movement speed. As long as the Eighth Route Army does not block it, it will take a few hours.
You can rush to the city of Jinan.
Maeda and Masafan Morita commanded the 35th Division, and the 13th Brigade of the *** mixed attacked the front line of the porcelain kiln. Japanese planes kept passing over the porcelain kiln, placing bombs weighing dozens of kilograms one by one.
The ground was thrown to all suspicious targets, and the artillery of the 35th Field Artillery Regiment and the 13th Artillery Brigade were also constantly bombarding, covering the Japanese army to launch wave after wave of charge, and there were Japanese troops at every moment.
The soldiers fell under the guns of the Eighth Route Army that were fighting and blocking.
At this time, Lieutenant General Takahashi, the commander of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, was sitting leisurely in the division headquarters of Maedajima in Yanzhou City, tasting tea and teasing female soldiers. It seemed that the fierce war had nothing to do with him.
It was not until 11 a.m. that Maedaji captured the line of the porcelain kiln and began to attack and advance towards Dawenkou. Guanjing Longchang left Yanzhou City and commanded the 14th Division to kill fiercely along the roads of Yanzhou, Ningyang, Feicheng, and Jinan.
Go past.
At this point, Liu Yimin, who was in Tai'an, breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the battlefield situation was extremely clear.
The Japanese army on the eastern front had a fierce offensive. The Jiaodong Guard Brigade, Qinghe Guard Brigade, and the Shandong Guard Brigade were subject to the strict orders of Liu Yimin, and no longer blocked head-on, and carried out side attacks on both sides, forcing the Japanese army to the Jiaoji Railway as much as possible.
Along the highway, try to reduce the poisoning of the elite Japanese corps on the market towns and villages along the route, which is equivalent to letting the Japanese army advance towards Jinan with great strides.
The Japanese army was in a heavy army on the northern front, but the Xu Shiyou, who was responsible for the blocking of the attack, was prepared for the new Sixth Brigade of Fu Zhuting, and relied on fortifications to fight step by step. Every time the Japanese broke through a line of defense, they had to leave a dead body.
Since the 14th Division entered the battle, the Japanese army on the southern front was holding the bull's nose and was advancing step by step towards the preset battlefield.
Liu Yimin pulled a chair and sat in front of the map. Zhu Zhexiao kept working on the map according to the battlefield situation and drew the latest progress of the enemy and us. The phone calls in the headquarters were heard one after another, and the staff members kept answering the phone and constantly answering the questions.
Each unit informed the enemy situation and conveyed the instructions of the division commander.
From morning to noon, our army on the northern front was not afraid of the Japanese heavy army group. The Shandong-Western Security Brigade and the New Sixth Brigade have the Jinpu Road Hede County to Jinan Highway as the defensive axis. The six main groups are arranged in the staging and blocking them one after another.
Landmines, explosives, long spears and short cannons all went into battle, making the Japanese pinch their noses and cry. It was not until 12 noon that the Japanese army occupied the Pingyuan County, 30 kilometers away from Dexian County.
The commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in the North Line was the former chief of staff of the North China Front Army, and the current commander of the Japanese First Division, Lieutenant General Naosabu Kashimabu. This old guy learned a lot from Soichi Tekaku. Soichi Tekaku also saw it.
He was very useful, so he recommended him to replace Kyosuke Kawamura as the commander of the First Division. At this time, Naosaburo Kawabu could not wait and decided to let go of the victory.
It turned out that although the Japanese army fought on the northern front for a whole morning, the Japanese First Division and the Second Division did not enter the battle, but just followed the 23rd Division and the 32nd Division, which was originally stationed in Cang County, to guard the
Behind the 36th Division of Luxi, it is used as a reserve team.
Naosaburo Katsumabu served as Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army and had a deep understanding of the combat characteristics of the Eighth Route Army. He knew that he was not afraid of the Eighth Route Army's blocking war or positional warfare. He was afraid of the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare, and shot one shot from the east and the other, and only took advantage of it and did not suffer losses.
, I can't find them if I want to take revenge.
Naosaburo Katsubu had no confidence from the beginning with Shanshanyuan's combat plan to regain Jinan, open up Jiaoji Road, Jinpu Road and annihilate Liu Yimin's military plan. The joke was that last time he and Soichi Desouchi and Jun Tada was carefully planned.
Even if the army of 700,000 was mobilized, it was impossible to eliminate Liu Yi's power. What ability does Shan Shanyuan have to eliminate Liu Yi's power?
Naosaburo of the Gangbu knew that it was not difficult to open up Jiaoji Road, Jinpu Road and recover Jinan. The difficulty was to eliminate the main force of Liu Yimin’s teaching staff. What are the characteristics of Liu Yimin’s combat? He never defended the whole place and seized the opportunity.
Punched up and took a bite! It was this accurate and ruthless mouthful that made the North China Front Army feel so painful that it could not be relieved. Maybe he would have been ready to evacuate Jiaoji Road, Jinpu Road and Jinan, and just wait for the emperor
The army will recover! Because as long as the imperial army recovers these places, they will be divided into troops to defend. This division of troops will become a garrison force, and each division will become a fragrant meal in front of Liu Yimin.
Eat whenever you want, and you won't even say hello to the imperial army. This was clearly stated by General Shouyi of the Seiuchi at the first battle meeting to encircle Shandong. Liu Yimin wanted to use Jinan and Tai'an
, where are fishing in Weixian and taking the baited imperial army. Otherwise, where will he grab money, food, and ammunition?
Not to mention, Naosaburo of the Gangbu is really smart and has a thorough understanding of his old opponent's thoughts.
Now, Naosaburo Katsumabu is responsible for commanding the forces of the seven divisions of the Japanese North Line Group. He has heavy troops in his hands, so he needs to make good use of them.
In the view of Naosaburo of the Gang Ministry, Liu Yimin would never use the main force of the instructor to deal with his North Line Group. Because Liu Yimin always concentrates superior forces in wars, superior artillery fire, and quick battles. I have never heard of Liu Yimin any time he has ever been able to fight.
The battle lasted for several days and nights. It is very likely that Shanshanyuan and the others guessed it correctly. Liu Yimin might have concentrated his main force to wait for the ambush of the Fifth Division. The Eighth Route Army in front of his North Line Group, although it is strange.
There are many tricks, many tricks, and very good equipment, large enough troops, and strong fighting. In one morning, the 23rd Division, the 32nd Division, and the 36th Division were responsible for the attack, but
They are definitely not Liu Yimin's most elite troops. The reason is that they lack the artillery group and anti-aircraft artillery fire of Liu Yimin's elite troops.
Naosaburo Katsubu also sent a telegram to Maeda Maeda's commander of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army on the southern front, asking whether the Eighth Route Army was bombarded during the attack. Maeda's call replied that the Eighth Route Army that blocked the Eighth Route Army did not have a group-based cannon and used it.
It was just infantry artillery, mortar, and grenade launcher. At this moment, Naosaburo Kawabu became more and more convinced that Liu Yizhao was invisible and standby in Shandong.
Since that's the case, Naosaburo Gangbu is not polite. This old devil is ambitious and wants to swallow the Eighth Route Army that was responsible for blocking the attack in one bite and create a miracle in the history of the Japanese army since the war began. Naosaburo Gangburo thinks that as long as the west bank of the Yellow River is blocked against the Imperial Army
The Eighth Route Army troops surrounded and wiped out all of them. He could be the commander of the army for granted, and even directly promoted to general and take charge of a front army.
So, the 1st and 2nd Division, which had been following the 23rd Division, the 32nd Division, and the 36th Division took action. Even the 40th Division, who was on the alert mission on Deshi Road
The division and the 41st Division were ordered to quickly mobilize their troops and prepare for support for combat.
The Eighth Route Army was fighting against the Japanese army, and the local armed forces were not idle either. Yucheng County Party Committee ***, organized by Wei Jingping, the political commissar of the Yucheng County Detachment developed from the original Seventh Detachment of Fanzhuxian Department, Wang Kekou, the county magistrate of Yucheng County, and the county brigade commander.
After clearing the fields of Jianbi, he led the county detachment to the junction of Yucheng and Gaotang and the plains. Their mission was to monitor the movements of the Japanese army on the northern front and prevent the Japanese army from detour to Gaotang from circumventing Yucheng.
Wei Jingping and Wang Kekou both studied at the Anti-Japanese University First Branch. To this day, another old party member in Yucheng, Ma Yizhi, still led a group of cadres to study at the Anti-Japanese University First Branch.
In just three months of study, the local underground party members Wei Jingping and Wang Kekou Dachang not only improved their theoretical level, but also improved their military talents. After returning to Yucheng, the seventh brigade was developed into
The county detachment with a number of more than 1,500 people has become three brigades.
At noon, the sky was gloomy and the cold wind blew into the soldiers' uniforms, so cold that the soldiers crawled in the trenches couldn't help but cough.
Wei Jingping considered whether to leave a brigade to monitor the Japanese? The other two brigades temporarily retreated to Fangsi to prevent the cold, and they could be familiar with the authentic fortifications here. If the Japanese really capture Jinan in the future, these three counties
The border area is an important base for the county party committee and county government.
Just as I was about to discuss with Wang Keko, the investigation team rode back and reported it on a bicycle. His grandmother's, the Japanese really made a roundabout attack.
The reconnaissance platoon leader rode his bike all the way, exhausted and panting, pointing his fingers to the plains and Gaotang, and reported that there were so many Japanese, including iron turtles, motorcycles, cavalry, cars, and cannons.
It seems that the Japanese were not going to detour Yucheng, but heading straight for Qihe.
Wei Jingping suddenly became alert. Could it be that the Japanese were going to detour to Qihe and attack the blocking Shandong Guard Brigade and the rear of the New Sixth Brigade?
After discussing with Wang Kekou, they all felt that the matter was serious and they had to report it to the army.
Wei Jingping immediately ordered the radio station to report to the Shandong Western Guard Brigade, and the entire detachment immediately prepared for the battle.
The northwestern Shandong plain is endless, with crisscrossing roads everywhere. This area was originally occupied by the Japanese army, and it was only liberated after the Eighth Route Army captured Jinan. A few days later, the god-good Japanese devils came to commit crimes again. Yucheng Detachment
Can cadres and soldiers agree?
I heard the sound of land mines exploded from afar and the sound of gunfire. It must be that the militia along the way saw the Japanese relying on the tunnels in the village to seek the Japanese's bad luck.
Wei Jingping and Wang Kekou raised their telescopes to observe. From afar, the Japanese came up, and the country roads from north to south were filled with dust. Needless to say, they were smoke and dust raised by Japanese cars and cavalrymen. Strangely,
The Japanese seemed to care about the militia's harassment at all, they just rushed to the road.
Wei Jingping and Wang Kekou looked at each other and knew that they were in trouble. They encountered the elite division of the Japanese. The landmines and rifles of the militia basically did not work in front of the Japanese tanks, armored vehicles and cars. It seemed that they were fiercely
You have to retreat into the tunnel as soon as possible after a fight. If it is too late, the Japanese will make dumplings.
When the leaders of the Shandong-Western Security Brigade assigned them tasks, they said clearly that this was fighting against the heavy army group of the Japanese army, not dealing with the grain collection teams and puppet troops in the past. The Yucheng Detachment was not an opponent of the Japanese, and they could not make unnecessary sacrifices.
.If you find a small group of Japanese troops search and resolutely eliminate or block them. When encountering a large force led by Japanese tanks, you must retreat quickly and rely on the villages and tunnels to deal with the Japanese's subsequent infantry.
Sure enough, this group of Japanese devils were unusual. They all drove the lane with tanks and armored vehicles, followed by cars carrying infantrymen. The cavalrymen galloped in the fields and took on alert search missions.
When dealing with such Japanese devils, the only effective weapon of the Yucheng Detachment is the explosive pack. Fortunately, they have enough explosive packs, and they are all buried on the road, waiting for the Japanese to come up!
Wei Jingping asked Wang Kekou to lead the detachment to retreat immediately and leave a small team to activate explosives.
When Wang Kekou saw the Japanese's posture, he knew that this battle would not be won and he had to withdraw. However, he was unwilling to die and had to fight with the Japanese, so he could not let them go south so easily.
Wang Kekou's eyes were full of excitement and whispered to Wei Jingping: "Old guy, we have light and heavy machine guns. It doesn't work when fighting Japanese tanks, but when fighting cars. After the explosives were detonated, all our weapons fired. Heavy machine guns specialize in fighting Japanese Japanese.
Cars, light machine guns and rifles hit the Japanese cavalry. I don’t believe it anymore. More than 1,500 people roamed guns in a row, but they could not kill him by 180 people."
Wei Jingping asked reversal: "What if the Japanese caught up with me?"
Wang Kekou said affirmatively: "No, the Japanese are eager to rush forward. They will not use such a huge force to deal with local armed forces like us. We will run away after a while. When the Japanese catch up, we have already entered the village.
It's authentic. Grandma, now it's time. After the Japanese army, there must be a baggage force, those cars and trucks that are pulled from rice and white flour, boxes of bullets, grenades, and shells. We will only find these logistics soldiers to start
, if we fight a few battles, our Yucheng detachment can also be replaced with Japanese equipment."
Wang Kekou made Wei Jingping feel excited and immediately issued a combat order.
The second Japanese division came.
After Okamura Yasuji was promoted to commander of the 11th Army, Lieutenant General Yasui Fujiji, commander of the 5th *** garrison in North Manchuria, was transferred to the commander of the 2nd Division. This time, it was also the first time that Yasui Fujiji led the second
The division team entered the pass and participated in the war, and he still dreamed of making achievements!
After receiving the circumvention of Naosaburo from Kazuobu, Fuji Yasui shouted, "Is this the Second Division of the Imperial Army that is good at detours, raids, and night battles, should the battle fight?
With the support of Naosaburo of the Gangbu, Fuji Yasui became rampant and regarded the Eighth Route Army in Shandong as the Anti-Japanese United Army of Northern Manchuria. He felt that as soon as his army arrived, the Eighth Route Army would flee in all directions.
Yasui Fujiji could never have imagined that someone came to stroke his beard as soon as he left Pingyuan Prefecture. Moreover, the person who came was not the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but the militia and local armed forces. He could ignore the landmines of the militia and the old rifle.
Can he ignore the light and heavy machine guns and explosive packs of the city detachment?
In fact, Wei Jingping and Wang Kekou and others ambushed the vanguard of the Japanese Second Division. If the Japanese Second Division pressed up on the entire line, they would really not be able to escape.
