After Liu Yimin returned to Shuanggou Town, each unit reported their combat plans and troop mobilization preparations one after another. After Liu Yimin read it, he called back one after another and gave instructions one by one.
Considering that the Japanese army has invaded the lower reaches of Luokou of the Yellow River and can deploy troops from the Jilu border to raid the Qinghe area at any time and cut off our army's retreat, Liu Yimin specially sent a report to Tan Zheng, Yuan Guoping and Xu Guangda, asking the Qinghe Guard Brigade to do something
There are two preparations: one is to counterattack the Japanese army's nighttime sneak attack, and the other is to prepare for delaying the Japanese army's daytime sneak attack. Especially when encountering a large Japanese army attack, we must organize county brigades, district squads, militiamen, and widespread mine arrays.
, using tunnel warfare and mine arrays to block and harass the Japanese, turning the little devils into blind donkeys and blind horses, and being beaten everywhere. Because if the Japanese army crosses the river during the day, it will inevitably concentrate its air force to cover it, and the main force of our army will not be able to form an effective blockade, so we must launch harassment against the enemy.
Delay combat operations.
Regarding the plan put forward by Li Qing's Third Teaching Brigade, Fourth Teaching Brigade, Seventh Teaching Brigade, and Eighth Teaching Brigade to attack Qingdao to attract the enemy's 36th Division's eastward reinforcements and ambush them, Liu Yimin proposed that the Japanese army's maritime transportation was developed
The last time the Japanese army reoccupied Lianyungang, the Fifth Division, the Guards Division, the Sixth Division, the Sixteenth Division, and the Armored Brigade's covert landing in Qingdao and this raid on the Hebei-Shandong border were all secretly transporting troops by sea.
. Therefore, after the battle in the direction of Qingdao, the Japanese army is likely to begin to order the 36th Division to assist eastward, but the most likely possibility is that the Japanese army will directly transfer the key divisions from the Hebei-Shandong border to Qingdao by sea, and then attack Qingdao.
The Jiaodong Garrison Brigade will launch a counterattack. Once the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade cannot support it, the Japanese army may take advantage of the victory to pursue it, and then the Jiaodong base area will be in danger. If this happens, our main hidden force in Ludong is likely to be left empty-handed and cannot be eliminated.
Li Wenli's troops also failed to fight an ambush, which was equivalent to a wasted trip. Therefore, Liu Yimin asked Li Qing to carefully summarize the experience of the Xiaoshui ambush and the Qingxi Town ambush, and not place the troops between Gaomi and Jiaoxian.
It is very likely that we will not be able to wait for the Japanese troops to set out from Weicheng to assist the east. We should boldly move our troops and place the main force on the line of the Weihe Bridge between Gaomi and Weicheng. As soon as the Japanese troops in Weicheng leave the city, they will ambush them and let them
It has no time to retreat back to Weicheng and Fangzi. Only in this way can it successfully annihilate the main force of Li Wenli in Anqiu.
For the Hebei-Shandong border, Liu Yimin asked Zeng and Cai to quickly move their troops at night. They must lead the Sixth Jiao Brigade and Di Yudong on the night of March 19. Zhao Mingxin's team of recruits pulled up on the Hebei-Shandong border broke through Jinpu Road, and with the Second Jiao Brigade and Luxi
The garrison brigades converged. Zeng Zhongsheng was specially reminded to time the dragging of the knife, turn over and annihilate the enemy with sharp movements, and concentrate the firepower. The pursuing Japanese troops must be frightened and frightened.
As for Hong Chaoyuan's plan to raid Lianyungang in Lunan, Liu Yimin gave high praise and instructed Hong Chaoyuan to use all available troops and hand over the artillery regiment of the fifth teaching brigade to Li Chang for unified command. The firepower must be fierce and the Japanese army must be destroyed in one fell swoop.
The fortifications were built and Lianyungang was quickly captured.
After returning from the First Teaching Brigade, Liu Yimin stayed in front of the radio station all night until Hong Chaoyuan reported that Lianyungang had been successfully captured. Liu Yimin told Zhang Linfeng to call back and request that all forces be immediately organized to move the seized materials overnight. After dawn, he would evacuate and hide and prepare for air defense.
Fell asleep at the desk.
On March 19th, early in the morning, Japanese aircraft went crazy and bombed Qingdao, Lianyungang, and Jinan areas indiscriminately. Not only did the Japanese army speed up the attack speed in the Hebei-Shandong border area, but the engineers were also under the cover of the aircraft.
Start building a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River.
At noon, the Japanese Tenth Division and two independent mixed brigades stepped across the pontoon bridge and charged toward the Qinghe area menacingly.
Since the Japanese army adopted a non-stop escort tactic of fleets, the Qinghe Guard Brigade could not organize an effective interception at all, and could only set up mine arrays on highways and country avenues. Now it became lively. Wherever the little devils went, the sound of thunder continued.
Someone was holding a broken leg and howling on the roadside, which frightened the soldiers of the independent mixed brigade who had just completed recruit training and trembled all over.
The main reason why Shan Shanyuan chose the 10th Division instead of the 14th Division to attack the Qinghe base area was that the commander of the 10th Division, Yoshio Shinozuka, was more practical than the commander of the 14th Division, Seiichi Kita.
Much more experienced.
Yoshio Shinozuka is indeed a man with many clever ideas. When he saw that the troops were progressing at a snail's pace, he immediately asked the aviation force to bomb along the road and use aerial bombs to detonate landmines.
Shinozuka Yoshio's request was categorically rejected by Lieutenant General Kinoshita Satoshi, commander of the North China Front's aviation group. In the telegram, Kinoshita mocked Shinozuka Yoshio for treating precious aerial bombs as dead fish that Hokkaido fishermen could not sell.
Just throw it wherever you want. Don't you know that Japan's resources are tight, and steel is especially precious?
As a result, Shanshan Yuan gave a clear instruction to Kinoshita Toshi to follow Yoshio Shinozuka's request.
As a result, the Japanese army's advance speed indeed increased.
After receiving the report of the Japanese army's sneak attack on the Qinghe base area, Liu Yimin thought to himself that what was supposed to come was coming. He immediately called Tan Zheng and others and asked them to tell Liao Rongbiao, commander of the Qinghe Security Brigade, to avoid the Japanese military aircraft during the day and conceal the movement of troops at night.
The tradition of night fighting of our army was used to carry out a special attack. The target of the battle was the two independent mixed brigades operating with the 10th Division. They were a group of new recruits with no battlefield experience and were defeated in one blow. At the same time, Liu Yimin requested
The Jinan Security Brigade and the Luzhong Security Brigade, which launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet strongholds in the areas around Jinan, after resting in hiding during the day, actively attacked at night to expand the results. As soon as the Japanese reinforcements arrive tomorrow, they must withdraw from the battle quickly and cannot be caught by the little devils.
Make dumplings.
Now that the Japanese army has made a sneak attack on Qinghe, it is very likely that the shipping troops will strengthen the defense of Qingdao. However, the troops transported to Qingdao need to be concentrated towards the seaside, which may take a longer time. However, the troops transported to Qingdao must be elite divisions with strong combat effectiveness.
, they will definitely counterattack our army as soon as they arrive. Liu Yimin sent a report to Li Qing, asking him to immediately order the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade. When they launch another attack at night, they will mainly conduct multiple night attacks with small units, and the main force will retreat to prepare for the Japanese counterattack.
In the evening, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong sent telegrams, reporting that so far, the Japanese army had occupied the hinterland of the Hebei-Shandong border. Fu Zhuting commanded the main force of the New Sixth Brigade to turn to guerrillas behind enemy lines to contain the Japanese. Local armed forces and cadres in each county went underground. Zeng and Cai planned to
Tonight at 1 o'clock in the morning, we will lead the main force to cooperate with the Second Jiao Brigade to cut off Jinpu Road in half and implement the drag-knife strategy.
This night is the key point of the blood and fire test on the Hebei-Shandong border.
Head-up Temple is located east of the Laojia River and west of the Majia River, surrounded by vast fertile fields in the north and south.
According to legend, a long time ago, a monk with an unknown surname stood here one day. He looked down at the sparkling water of the Yellow River, looked around at the lush forest, heard the singing of insects and birds, the gurgling river, the clear water and the green forests. It was really a treasure land, and he decided to stay here.
He built a temple and settled there. So he went around asking for help, and traveled to Yunnan and other places. The people of Li were impressed by his piety and thought of his strong will. They gave alms and donations one after another, collected thousands of taels of silver, and brought them here to build a temple and named it.
"Yunyou Temple".
The Yellow River later changed its course, and I don’t know when Yunyou Temple changed its name to Head-up Temple. I only know that it was rebuilt during the Chenghua Period of the Ming Dynasty. The temple faces south and covers an area of about 20 acres. The buildings in the temple are symmetrically arranged along the north-south central axis.
.The central axis is arranged from south to north with the Shanmen, Tianwang Hall, Mahavira Hall, Thousand Buddhas Pavilion, and bells, drum towers, side halls, monks' houses and other buildings symmetrically distributed on both sides, which are majestic, solemn and solemn.
At this moment, in the majestic Mahavira Hall, Zeng Zhongsheng, Chief of Staff of the Eighth Route Army Instruction Division, Cai Zhong, Director of the Political Department, and Zhang Hongtao, Commander of the 6th Teaching Brigade, are convening a meeting of battalion and above-level cadres of the 6th Teaching Brigade, the 3rd Air Defense Regiment, and the new corps organized by Di Yudong and Zhao Mingxin.
.
Zhang Hongtao conveyed Liu Yimin's telegram about teaching the Sixth Brigade to break through Jinpu Road and enter Western Shandong, and then asked Cai Zhong to mobilize before the war.
The torch illuminated Cai Zhong's swarthy face even darker, his eyebrows twitched, and his voice sounded loud and powerful: "It is the division commander's order to teach the Sixth Brigade to jump out of the Japanese encirclement on the Hebei-Shandong border and go to Western Shandong.
This order was a correct decision based on the enemy situation on the Hebei-Shandong border. Our army jumped out of the Japanese encirclement, which proved the failure of the little Japanese raid on the Hebei-Shandong border. When we arrived at the Hebei-Shandong border, we cooperated with the 2nd Jiao Brigade, the Western Shandong Guard Brigade, and the Shandong Province
When the Second West Guard Brigade joins forces, it can rely on the base areas in western Shandong and southern Hebei to deal with the Japs. Master Liu gave an example, that is Wu Song fighting tigers in the Water Margin. The reason why Wu Song was able to kill the cannibals on Jingyang Gang
The tiger is fierce because he concentrates all his strength on his fists. Think about it, if Wu Song did not use his fists, but stretched out his five fingers to fan the tiger's mouth, would he be able to kill the tiger? "
The cadres laughed heartily.
Cai Zhong nodded with satisfaction and continued: "When we go to join forces with the Western Shandong Army, we are going to retract our extended fingers, clench them into fists, and hit people with our fists. Think about it, we teach the Second Brigade and the Sixth Brigade.
The Luxi Guard Brigade and the Second Luxi Guard Brigade are gathered together, with more than 50,000 troops. If we capture the little Japanese's regiment and brigade, wouldn't it be like drinking rice soup?"
The cadres of the sixth brigade and above have all participated in the teaching team of the seventh Red Army, and they are all veteran Red Army soldiers who fought all the way on the Long March. Their military quality is relatively high. They have long known what Cai Zhong said. Therefore, there is no need to go too far.
Mobilize, the cadres are already screaming.
Cai Zhong added: "What's standing in front of us now is the security line built by the Japanese army based on railways and highways. The Japs have put a lot of effort into this security line. Not only do they have firepower points, but they also have people patrolling back and forth.
Armored patrol vehicle. We want to pass, but the Japs won’t let us pass. What should we do? Commander Liu said that when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win! He wants to see whether it is the Japs’ front line that is stronger, or that of my brave and capable Sixth Brigade.
The fist is strong. Comrades, are you confident?"
The cadres immediately raised their arms and shouted: "The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! Cross the front line and fight to Luxi!"
