On the night of October 8th, the whole land of Shandong was filled with the sound of gunfire and it was very lively.
Hong Chaoyuan commanded the 5th Teaching Brigade. After the New 5th Brigade captured Xin'an Town on the evening of October 6, the Japanese army did not take the bait because they were afraid of being wiped out by reinforcements at night. Hong Chaoyuan took advantage of the situation and commanded the 5th Teaching Brigade to launch an attack in the east direction of Haizhou, and continued to fight.
arrive
Baitabu Town. Hu Xuerong commanded the New Fifth Brigade to launch an attack in the direction of Pi County, crossing the Yihe River and hitting Paoche Town. The two main brigades controlled the Japanese and puppet troops on the Longhai line from Paoche Town to Baitabu Town.
The army's small stronghold was swept clean...
On the morning of October 7, the Japanese army dispatched fighter planes to search and investigate the area of Xin'an Town on Longhai Road and bombed indiscriminately. Hong Chaoyuan had to order the troops to evacuate and hide and pay attention to air defense. It was not until the evening of October 7 that the troops of the instructor division launched attacks one after another in Shandong.
Commander Tada of the Japanese North China Front
Jun judged that the target of the Eighth Route Army's attack was to reoccupy Jinan, and strictly ordered the Ninth Division to advance from east to west to recapture Xin'an Town. On October 8, he dispatched a large number of aircraft to provide air cover for the Ninth Division between Haizhou and Pi County.
The Ninth Division then took action and attacked Xin'an Town from east to west.
The purpose of capturing Xin'an Town is to cut off the Longhai Road, attract the Japanese army's attention to the Longhai Road, cover the main force to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Japanese 10th Division. At the same time, it also deters the 9th Division from taking reinforcements to Lunan. This purpose
Basically reached
By then, because the main force of the 36th Regiment and the puppet Tianliu Division had been annihilated, the Ninth Division was timid and cautious in its offensive movements under the cover of aircraft. Hong Chaoyuan, who had a thorough understanding of the battlefield situation, took advantage of October 6.
On the two nights of the 7th, the Organization Department
The team and the front team cleared the railway from Baitabu Town in the east to Paoche Town in the west, completely transported the Japanese ammunition and baggage in Xin'an Town, and cleared away the Japanese and puppet troops' weapons.
* After all the ditches were filled, the main force was ordered to withdraw from the Longhai line battle.
Hong Chaoyuan commanded the main force of the fifth brigade to turn to Tancheng east of Maling Mountain and wait in hiding between the East China Sea. Hu Xuerong commanded the new fifth brigade to return to defend the Malingshan defense line, leaving only a small force to lay mine arrays and electric explosives on roads and railways.
Stop the sluggish devils.
When it was getting dark on October 8, the eastern and western armies of the Japanese Ninth Division finally met up in Xin'an Town. The Eighth Route Army's Fifth Brigade Cavalry Battalion set off a burst of huge fireworks for the Japanese rendezvous, using electricity to detonate explosives and counterattacks.
Tank mines and anti-infantry mines gave a solid congratulatory gift to the Ninth Division's east and west routes.
Kiichiro Higuchi, commander of the Ninth Division, was so dizzy by the congratulatory gift from the Eighth Route Army that he sent a report directly to Shun Tada, commander of the North China Front, requesting immediate reinforcements and efforts to build the Longhai Road.
Well, Jun Tada's serious construction has just begun. The rails and sleepers he prepared for repairing the Deshi Road have new uses. Longhai Road is much more important than the Deshi Road. He has to repair it even if he doesn't want to repair it. *** Cabinet,
The base camp will urge him to reopen Longhai Road to traffic as soon as possible.
Hong Chaoyuan and Hu Xuerong led their troops to hide and wait, while the Southeast Shandong detachment led by Wang Nanhu between Ganyu and the East China Sea was gearing up to fight again.
This time, Wang Nanhu used the eastern section of Longhai Road as a training ground and pulled up the Rizhao Guard Regiment, the Maritime Guard Corps, and the Yishui, Juxian, Zhucheng, and Wulian Guard Regiments that he could mobilize. He taught the fifth brigade to evacuate as soon as possible.
The battlefield was hidden and waiting. Wang Dahu waved three soldiers from the Southeast Shandong detachment.
The main force group and these security groups rushed forward. Wang Dahu told the leaders of each group very clearly: "Don't be afraid of the little Japs chasing you. You have the elite Fifth Jiao Brigade behind you. Just lure the Japs back. The Jiao Fifth Brigade
The artillery regiment has enough artillery shells, waiting for the little devil to drink from it!"
Rizhao Garrison Corps, Yishui Garrison Corps, Juxian Garrison Corps, Zhucheng Garrison Corps, Wulian Garrison Corps, and Maritime Garrison Corps are all newly established local garrison forces with a small number of people. Each regiment basically has more than 1,500 people.
, the weapons and equipment are all domestic weapons that have been eliminated by the instructors. These guard regiments have not been on the battlefield since their establishment, and the new soldiers are itching with anxiety.
Wang Nanhu was a veteran Red Army general who had experienced hundreds of battles and knew how to train the newly formed troops. He mixed the three main regiments of the Southeast Shandong Detachment with the six new guard regiments, and asked the old troops to lead the new troops to harass
Devil.
Now the eastern section of Longhai Road was even more lively, with gunshots and shouts everywhere. The frightened Ninth Division couldn't figure out whether the Eighth Route Army was attacking Longhai Road again, so they could only cooperate with
The Eighth Route Army fired at each other and did not even dare to leave the fortifications to pursue. It was not until dawn on October 9 that the Eighth Route Army's gunfire came to an end.
After counting the casualties of the troops, Higuchi Kiichiro, the commander of the 9th Division, finally understood that the Eighth Route Army had many tricks in fighting, such as attacking Xin'an Town and using landmines and explosives to block the Eighth Route Army, all of which were silent and sudden.
The attack by the Eighth Route Army last night, with heavy thunder and light rain, was purely to prevent the Imperial Army soldiers from sleeping, to torture the Imperial Army soldiers, and to harass them. Higuchi Kiichiro also received
I came to the conclusion that the Eighth Route Army, which was both shooting and shouting, lacked heavy weapons and should be the Tubal Army. The Eighth Route Army with artillery groups, tanks, armored vehicles and cavalry groups was Liu Yimin's regular army and could not be easily provoked. Of course, Higuchi
Ji Yilang's conclusion is correct or not, and he will soon pay the price for coming to such a conclusion. Because Tuba Road is backed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, it cannot be provoked.
Lunan has this style of play, and Taixi and Tai'an regions have another style of play.
The Tai'an detachment is a mixture of the four detachments formed from the Culaishan Uprising and the eastward detachment led by Zhang Haitao. Most of the soldiers are from the Tai'an area, and those who are familiar with the Tai'an area cannot be more familiar. Since the tasks of the Tai'an detachment are:
Defending the central base of Taiyi, he rarely had the opportunity to fight with the main force, which drove Zhang Haitao almost crazy with anxiety.
After receiving the order to attack Jinpu Road, Zhang Haitao once again set his sights on Dawenkou Town. The reason is simple. There is an airport in Dawenkou, and the Japs have recently made use of the airport. Some aviation gasoline should be stored there.
and aerial bombs, these are all urgently needed by the aviation group.
Compared with Wang Jian'an's Taixi Garrison Brigade, the Tai'an Detachment is better equipped. The Tai'an Detachment is equipped with rocket launchers, high-level and flat dual-purpose guns, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and has strong attack capabilities.
On the evening of October 7, Wang Jian'an commanded the Eighth Route Army's Taixi Guard Brigade to launch in the Feidong area, using tunnel fortifications to launch attacks on the outlying Japanese strongholds in Tai'an, attracting the attention of the Tai'an Japanese army. Local armed forces and militiamen in the Tai'an area cooperated with the Taixi Guard Brigade's operations to attack Jinan
Highway line from Feicheng to Ningyang to Yanzhou
The Japanese strongholds on the top of the mountain launched attacks and harassment wars, forcing the Japanese 27th Division stationed in Jining, Yanzhou, Qufu, Sishui, and Zouxian to go north for reinforcements. The battle continued until the evening of October 8, when local armed forces in the Taiyi Mountain area attacked the frontier station.
They went to the Japanese and puppet strongholds on Jinpu Road between Wande Station and launched an attack with great force.
Just as gunfire broke out around Tai'an, the commander of the Tai'an Detachment of the Eighth Route Army commanded the Tai'an Detachment to go out of the Cuilai Mountains and attack Dawenkou Town.
This time, the Tai'an detachment's tactics were the same as Liu Yimin's method of using a flame array to greet the Japanese Guards Division and Armored Brigade logistics vehicles outside Tai'an City. They first sent a reconnaissance company through the tunnel into Dawenkou Town, and cooperated inside and outside to seize the Dawenkou Town.
Wenkou Town.
There is a saying in later generations that the power of example is infinite. The Eighth Route Army dug tunnels in the North China Plain and Shandong and used tunnel warfare to deal with the raids by the Japs. The fellows in Dawenkou and Beijipo also secretly fought under the organization of the underground party.
The Eighth Route Army dug tunnels into the ground leading to the outside of the town, which not only facilitated the Eighth Route Army's entry and exit, but also protected themselves in times of crisis. No, the Eighth Route Army entered Dawenkou Town through the tunnel, which was tightly fortified by the Japanese and puppet troops.
As we approach Dawenkou Town, the next battle becomes simple. For the Tai'an detachment, which has rocket launchers and high-altitude dual-purpose guns, the Japs' turrets and bunkers are nothing at all.
Zhang Haitao came to Dawenkou Airport. There was no tunnel at Dawenkou Airport, so he could only attack by force. Fortunately, there were not many security forces at the airport, only one squadron of defenders. Zhang Haitao was very disappointed, because there were only a few defenders at the airport.
The two reconnaissance planes did not have much aviation ammunition and aviation gasoline. It seemed that the little devils knew that Dawenkou Airport was being targeted by the Eighth Route Army and did not dare to park a formation of squadron size or above here. They only used it as an airport for reconnaissance planes to advance.
The disappointed Zhang Haitao directed his anger towards Jinpu Road. Not only did he dismantle the rails and sleepers, he also demolished the Wenhe Railway Bridge again. Now, it would be more difficult for the little devil to open Jinpu Road to traffic.
One month or two months would not do it. Zhang Haitao still felt that it was not enough, so he swept away all the goods at Dawenkou Station and transported them all back to the mountains.
Zhang Haitao made a lot of noise on Jinpu Road, and Yu Xuezhong, who was besieging Feixian County, did not stop either.
Yu Xuezhong received a call back from Liu Yimin and learned that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had arrived in Baiyan Town, which was only eight or ninety miles away from the county seat of Feixian County. He felt reassured. In addition, Liu Yimin made it clear that the enemy would be wiped out tomorrow night.
That is, on the night of October 9th, Yu Xuezhong felt more confident. He was no longer afraid of being made dumplings by the little devils. He began to calm down and fight with the little devils one by one.
Yu Xuezhong is a veteran of the Northeast Army. Although he is not as flexible in commanding and fighting as the generals of the Eighth Route Army, his troop formations are definitely quite lawful and strictly regulated. Together with the 51st Army, the weapons and equipment of the 57th Army are better than those of ordinary *** troops.
Well, when you really fight hard, your fighting ability is not trivial.
It is night now, and there are no Japanese bombings. Although the Japanese army in Fei County has been strengthened and has become a strong force, Yu Xuezhong is not afraid. He has two artillery regiments of the Eighth Route Army, as well as four artillery battalions of the 51st Army and the 57th Army.
, the firepower was quite fierce. However, the two artillery regiments of the Eighth Route Army only bombarded the walls of Feixian County and did not fire into the city. Otherwise, Yu Xuezhong would have tried to capture the county seat of Feixian County overnight and eliminate the little Japs guarding the city.
Dear book friends: I will update as usual tomorrow, thank you all!
