"Squad leader, do you think we are going to fight Xuzhou?"
"What do you think?"
"It depends on the posture. Squad leader, do you think it is Xuzhou City or Tai'an City?"
"You know that Tai'an has more cities than Tai'an."
"My father said that Tai'an is good in the world. Pancakes rolls and green onions are so delicious. The wheelbarrow is equipped with oil baskets, and the streets are full of fragrance. Our peanut oil can be sold north to the outside of the pass and south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When we are idle, we can go to Mount Tai and burn incense and kowtow to Mount Tai, which can ensure peace all year round. I am afraid that Xuzhou is not as good as our Tai'an. If it is better than Tai'an, our Eighth Route Army would have occupied it long ago, and can the Japanese live in Xuzhou forever?"
"You are a little young, not old, not tall, and have a lot of thoughts. Are you considering whether to hit Xuzhou or not? Go away quickly, don't fall behind, be careful of falling!"
"Squad leader, you can't underestimate me. I killed a Japanese soldier today. He is a real Eighth Route Army soldier!"
"Look at what you can do! My old Li beaten to death no more and no less Japanese after joining the army, and there were exactly 10 Japanese. I dare not brag about this. What's the point of killing a Japanese? Don't be proud, do it well. There are so many Japanese Japanese, enough for you to fight!"
"Be good, you beat 10 Japanese devils to death! No wonder you are the squad leader. By the way, Uncle Wang, next door to my house, is from Shandong Kuaishu, which is very nice. Squad leader, I will take you to my house and ask my mother to make pancakes for you. I will bring my uncle and tell him the story of fighting Japanese devils. He will surely make your story into Kuaishu, and then you will become the hero in the book."
"Haha, I think beautifully! There are so many heroes in the Eighth Route Army, killing the Japanese is like cutting melons and vegetables. How can it be my turn? Stop talking, leave quickly!"
The little soldier wanted to say something else, and the company commander's scolding came from the front: "Don't speak! Keep up!"
This is an army of the Eighth Route Army instructors advancing south.
After the remnants of the 14th Division were destroyed, the Eighth Route Army instructed the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield and search for the small number of Japanese troops to wipe out the remaining Japanese troops. Soon, the body of Lieutenant General Maeda Maita, the commander of the 35th Division, Lieutenant General Morita Masafan, was found. Only Lieutenant General Guani Takahashi, the commander of the 14th Division, was not found. Only a body of Lieutenant General Guani Takahashi, wearing underwear, suspected to be Guani Takahashi, but there was no number plate to confirm it. Because there were no prisoners, there was no evidence. Moreover, the 35th Division, the military flag and codebook of the 13th Division, the independent 14th Division, were not found.
After receiving the report, Liu Yimin suddenly felt suspicious. Could it be that Guan Jing Longchang escaped? No matter how much he is, it is important to quickly deploy the next action. It will be troublesome as soon as the sky is dawn. Such a large-scale army has just finished the battle, and the main forces gathered all over the place. It is impossible to prevent the Japanese from discovering it.
Liu Yimin immediately ordered the Central Committee, Headquarters, National Government, and Military Commission to report the victory. He then ordered the troops to seize ammunition and supplement the combat losses on the spot. The seized artillery directly supplemented the new brigades, heavy artillery, guns, excess ammunition and other spoils to be handed over to the logistics brigade to transport back to the logistics base. The Taixi Guard Brigade ordered the local armed forces in the Taixi area to defend the Taixi base area. The Tai'an Detachment withdrew to the north of Jinpu Road and relied on the mountain to defend the Taiyi central base area. The main force immediately divided the troops and moved.
As the Japanese army stationed in southwestern Shandong still maintained an offensive posture and had no time to shrink, Liu Yimin ordered Liu to establish the command of the Second Education Brigade, the Sixth Education Brigade, and the Southwest Shandong Guard Brigade to form the Southwest Shandong Group to march towards southwestern Shandong, creating a situation where a large army encircled and annihilated the 38th Division of the Japanese army stationed in southwestern Shandong, forcing the enemy to abandon the Southwest Shandong and retreat to the Longhai Line. The Second Education Brigade Artillery Regiment of the Southwest Shandong Group, and the Sixth Education Brigade Artillery Regiment of the Southwest Shandong Group gave priority to replenishing ammunition and returned to the establishment. After the group completed its mission, it stayed in the Southwest Shandong Guard Brigade to station in southwestern Shandong, established, restored and expanded the southwestern Shandong base area. The Second Education Brigade and the Sixth Education Brigade turned to western Shandong, concentrated near De County and Cang County, preparing to attack and occupy Cang County at the appropriate time, and seized the supplies of the divisions and divisions on the northern front of the Japanese army.
Hong Chaoyuan, the commander of the 5th Education Brigade, directed the 5th Education Brigade, the New Fifth Education Brigade, the New Fourth Brigade, and the Southeast Shandong Detachment, and advanced along Sishui to Linyi, completely clearing the remaining Japanese and puppet forces in Sishui, Feixian, Linyi and Tancheng areas, and oppressing the Longhai Line to the south.
The commander of the first brigade of the teaching 1 brigade of the plateau command, the new brigade, the new 3 brigade, the new 7 brigade, the cavalry brigade, the artillery brigade, the heavy machine gun brigade heavy machine gun regiment, the engineering brigade boat bridge regiment, the air defense brigade air defense brigade 2, and the logistics brigade 1 brigade, forming a mid-line assault group and advancing along the Jinpu Road and the Xuzhou-Jinan Highway, with the goal directed to Xuzhou.
Li Qing, the commander of the Third Education Brigade, directed the Third Education Brigade, the Fourth Education Brigade, the Seventh Education Brigade, and the Eighth Education Brigade, along the Taiwei Highway, and the Taiyi Mountain District overnight, moving in the direction of Qingdao in secret, preparing to cooperate with the Jiaodong Guard Brigade to wait for an opportunity to seize Qingdao.
Luo Ronghuan led the division headquarters, the Shandong Bureau, as well as the engineering brigade, air defense brigade, and logistics brigade back to the southeastern base of Shandong and the Taiyi central base.
Liu Yimin himself led the Special Operations Command, the First Battalion of Guards and Zhang Linfeng's small staff, and the confidential team, he was in charge of Tai'an, commanded the New Second Brigade, and the New Eighth Brigade were responsible for the post-hones blocking and delaying the enemy's mission, covering the main force's assault to the south, sweeping across southern Shandong and southwest Shandong.
After issuing the order, Luo Ronghuan urged all troops to act quickly according to the order. Liu Yimin called Jingjing and the reporters of Dazhong Daily to dictate the news release of the Battle of Thailand.
After careful planning and successful battle, Liu Yimin couldn't hide his inner joy, and his tone of speaking erupted with a sense of pride in his guidance:
"On the night of January 21, 1931, the sky was cold and the water turned into ice. The sky was gloomy, the night was dark. My heroic Eighth Route Army instructor launched the Battle of Taixi between Tai'an, Feicheng and Ningyang, completely wiped out the 14th Division, the 35th Division, the Independent Mixed 13th Brigade, killed Lieutenant General Guani Takahashi, the 35th Division commander Lieutenant General Maeda, and the 35th Division commander Lieutenant General Maeda, and the brigade commander of the Independent Mixed 13th Brigade, Lieutenant General Morita Masafan, the Japanese and puppet troops, destroyed more than 120 Japanese planes, and achieved unprecedented victories since the War of Resistance."
Next, Liu Yimin briefly described the background and process of the launch of the Battle of Taixi. Then, Liu Yimin changed his tone and continued: "Our army made great sacrifices in this Battle of Taixi. Our army guarded a company in Wujiadu Ferry, the Yellow River. After discovering that the Japanese cavalry group used the night to smuggle, they did not fear the strong enemy and fought to block the body of Japanese soldiers and war horses filled the ice surface of the Yellow River River bed. The Japanese were angry and concentrated artillery and fired poison gas, causing all 180 soldiers in the company of our defenders to die, and wrote a song
The heroic song of the Chinese people who are swearing to die! I served as the blocking mission force on the west bank of the Yellow River. In the face of the three-dimensional attacks of Japanese aircraft, cannons, and tanks, I was not afraid, forging defenses and fighting step by step. Finally, in the enemy's First Division and the Second Division, they broke through the north and south wings, broke through the encirclement, and won time for annihilation of the enemy on the southern front of the Battle of Taixi. Among them, I served as the commander of a regiment, the regiment and the political commissar personally went on battle to fight with the Japanese army. More than 1,000 soldiers in the regiment fell on the ground in northwest Shandong forever."
Finally, Liu Yimin said: "The Japanese army did not understand the determination of the Chinese people to sacrifice, and tried to rely on planes, warships, cannons, and tanks to eliminate our anti-Japanese armed forces. Little did they know that this was the land of the Chinese people. All Chinese people who love their motherland would pick up guns and fight with the Japanese invaders in the face of the Japanese invaders. They would sacrifice their lives to the Japanese. Once upon a time, the arrogant 14th Division went around in eastern Henan, killing people and setting fires, slaughtering villages and destroying households, and treating the lives of the Chinese people like ants. Today, these crazy old Japanese and Japanese devils were all wiped out and their souls returned to the East. This shows a problem. As long as our army uses its strategies and tactics properly and fights on our territory, the Japanese devils are not the opponent!"
After Liu Yimin finished dictating the press release, Jingjing conducted another interview.
Jingjing asked: "Team Commander Liu, this time our army concentrated its troops in order to carry out the Battle of Taixi, and voluntarily gave up Jiaoji Road and Jinan. I would like to ask, when will we recapture Jiaoji Road and Jinan and completely destroy the Japanese army in Shandong?"
Liu Yimin replied: "This time our army voluntarily gave up Jiaoji Road and Jinan. To be honest, the Japanese army is temporarily too strong, and our army has to shrink its forces and give up the above-mentioned areas. Otherwise, our army will be surrounded by three Japanese troops, and it will be impossible to win the Battle of Taixi. As for when Jiaoji Road and Jinan will be recovered, this issue is not a single issue. In general, China's War of Resistance requires the unity of the people of the whole country, all parties need to be united, and all troops need to be united. If the whole country plays chess, supports each other, and cooperates closely, I dare say that the Japanese will not be able to jump for a few days. China is so big, with so many people, and only districts
Millions of Japanese troops are simply not worth mentioning. Even if they are stepped on with their feet, they can all be killed. If the Eighth Route Army fights against the Japanese army like this in this Battle of Thailand, while other war zones are still holding their troops, and some people in the occupied areas cannot rise up and fight back and are willing to be obedient to the people, the Anti-Japanese War will be extended for a few years. What I mean is that the troops of our war zones in various war zones should seize the opportunity of the Japanese elite gathering in Shandong and North China, and quickly launch a counterattack against the enemy in front of them, so that the Japanese will lose sight of each other, and the defense is everywhere, and passively beating everywhere. The progress of the Anti-Japanese War will be greatly accelerated, and the recovery of Jinan will be even less problematic."
Jingjing then asked: "Team Commander Liu, what do you think the Japanese army will react to this battle of Taixi have achieved such great results?"
Liu Yimin smiled and said, "Reporter Jingjing, I am not the Emperor of Japan, nor the commander of the North China Front Army, Shan Shanyuan. I am not aware of the specific reaction of the Japanese army. However, I can analyze it roughly for readers. If I say something wrong, please criticize and correct it. In my opinion, the Japanese army suffered such a great loss. Under normal circumstances, it should be adjusted and supplemented in the Jinan area. You should know that their First Division, Second Division, 23rd Division, 32nd Division, and 36th Division were all attacked by our army in today's battles. Among them, the First Division and the Second Division were air strikes by our Air Force 1, and the losses were heavy. Like the Second Division, the Artillery Regiment was completely wiped out by our Air Force 1, and the tanks were also greatly damaged. If we were not replenished in time and attack our army rashly, I dare say that the Second Division without cannons and tanks would be nothing, and would become
Our army's preferred target. However, we have to see that the Japanese army is different from ordinary troops. The commanders are all ambitious from top to bottom, good at playing conspiracies and taking risks. Especially now, our army eliminates the main force of the Japanese army's southern line in Tai'an, Feicheng, and Ningyang. The Japanese army will think that the main position of our army is exposed and with the attack target, they are likely to concentrate their forces and launch large-scale attacks on Tai'an and Feicheng. They will even make another roundabout and sneak attack to encircle our army. If the encirclement is not complete, the Japanese army will press our army to retreat south until it is pressed to near Xuzhou. Relying on Xuzhou City Fortifications and Railway Lines, attack on both sides and annihilate our main force. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Japanese army pursues and fights along the Jinpu Road and highways, regain the Jinpu Road, divide our army from the two major areas east and west of the Jinpu Road, and then encircle and suppress them in different regions."
Jingjing immediately said: "Team Commander Liu, the Japanese army has huge forces, and all three mechanized divisions are concentrated in Shandong. The movement speed is very fast and there are aircraft to assist in the war. The future battle situation must be very fierce. I wonder where the next step is to focus on our army's combat. Should we take the initiative to go north to face the Japanese heavy army group, or stick to the Tai'an area?"
Liu Yimin lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "Reporter Jingjing, this is a military secret, I can't tell you. Besides, the Japanese now call me a liar, a liar, a coward, a hooligan, a criminal, and ruined me to nothing. They would not believe anything I said. For example, I said that I should concentrate the main force, rely on the terrain between Tai'an and Jinan to resolutely fight back against the Japanese invaders pursuing our army. Can the Japanese believe it? For example, I said that our main force should be hidden in a certain area and specifically deal with it.
Can the Japanese army not believe the Japanese army’s detour division? Also, I said that our army should concentrate our forces to go south, capture Xuzhou, and then encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in eastern Henan. Do the Japanese dare not believe it? In short, no matter what I say, the Japanese will not believe it or not. When I say that going east, the Japanese will immediately think of going west. When I say that going west, the Japanese will immediately think of going south or north. In fact, the main force of our army is on the Wen River, waiting for the Japanese to attack! Jingjing reporter, I don’t know if you are satisfied with my answer?"
Jingjing squinted her mouth and smiled, and the other reporters were also laughing.
After Jingjing led the reporters away, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan also began to take action, mainly to send Luo Ronghuan to lead the division headquarters and the Shandong Bureau to the big store.
Luo Ronghuan stared at Liu Yimin and said in a deep voice: "Our army cannot attack Xuzhou, this is a principle. The reason is that the Japanese have repaired the Longhai Road and are likely to have already dispatched troops to Xuzhou. The Japanese army in Xuzhou have been worried about our army's attack, and are highly vigilant and have strong fortifications. If our army's attack is not smooth, they will be surrounded by the Japanese army under the strong city. Please be sure to pay attention to this."
Liu Yimin smiled and said, "Political Commissar, we have been together for so long. Am I that stupid? If you want to attack Xuzhou, you must wait for the Japanese heavy army group to leave Shandong and you will not be able to reach the periphery of Xuzhou within five days. You don't have the conditions now."
Luo Ronghuan also said: "After the troops arrive at the Xuzhou front line, the main force will retreat. The troops you lead should contact the northern Jiangsu detachment and the New Fourth Army and our three cavalry battalions in northern Jiangsu in time, and they will be able to support our army. In addition, I have to reiterate to you, don't show off your strength and courage, don't leave the large army and act alone. In a word, you should not put yourself in danger."
Liu Yimin thought to himself, it would be a waste of time to go south and not go to see the big Shanghai of this era. If you don’t go to meet all the characters in the big Shanghai, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to travel?
After thinking about it, Liu Yimin still promised Luo Ronghuan that once the task of seducing the enemy and opening up the situation of the war in the Jianghuai region, he would return to Shandong and never be fond of fighting.
Finally, Liu Yimin told Luo Ronghuan that during his absence in Shandong, the Shandong Bureau and various troops should focus on consolidating local governments and strengthening local armed forces. Along the railways and highways, the villagers should mobilize their fellow villagers to establish a white-skinned and red-hearted government to deal with the Japanese and reduce losses. Without orders, the Japanese should not interfere with the Japanese repairing railways and highways. The Japanese should run the Japanese. Only when the Japanese trains and cars run, the Japanese would think that the rear was relatively consolidated and turn their strategic attention elsewhere. In short, it was necessary to hide the main force and fight guerrilla wars with the Japanese, so that the Japanese would think that the main force of the instructor had already followed Liu Yimin to the south.
The two of them talked for a long time until the Second Battalion of Guards and the Third Battalion were assembled and waiting for departure, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan left the division headquarters side by side.
Seeing the division commander, the political commissar came out, the new guard commander Li Zongrui and political commissar Lu Maotian came forward, saluted and shouted loudly: "Report to the division commander, political commissar: The guard group has been assembled, standby, please give instructor!"
After Liu Yimin returned the gift, he glanced at the team and said, "After the expansion of the guard regiment, training needs to be completed and further improve combat effectiveness. Li Zongrui, Lu Maotian, after you return to the garrison with the political commissar, you must open your eyes a little wider and cooperate with the Security Department to do a good job in the security and security work of the headquarters. In particular, you must be careful of the infiltration of Japanese spies. Dadian and Zhujiazhuangzi Airport are key targets among key targets. Think more ways to build more camouflage airports to prevent the Japanese army from raiding. Do you remember what I said?"
Li Zongrui and Lu Maotian replied loudly: "Remember! Please rest assured to ensure that the task is completed!"
This time, Liu Yimin waved his hand and asked the team to set off, and he also told Luo Ronghuan, Qian Zhuangfei and others to get off one by one, and sent them into the car.
The first battalion of the Guard Regiment and the Second Battalion left, protecting the division headquarters and the Shandong Bureau. The huge Tai'an city suddenly became deserted. Liu Yimin stood at the entrance of the division department, staring at the distant team, feeling a little sad. When will he not be like the county magistrate? The Japanese heavy army group will retreat as soon as they come?
Dear book friends: Shanren is in Beijing. He has been running around these days and is very tired. He has finally finished everything. He is ready to go home the day after tomorrow. The update will be stable and normal. Please support me, my friends. Thank you everyone!
