When Zhang Renchu led his troops to the north of Liuzhuang, Cao County Magistrate Liu Qibin and his county brigade were still laying mines.
At this time, the Japs in the Nanwangdian area north of Liuzhuang heard the gunfire from Daguozhuang and had already begun to take action. The Japs' armored vehicles and motorcycle headlights could already be seen on the road.
Zhang Renchu immediately ordered the county brigade to stop laying mines and asked Liu Qibin to quickly lead the team to help the baggage company clean the battlefield and transfer the seized materials.
The county brigade had just withdrawn, and the first battalion, second battalion, supplementary battalion, and fire support battalion led by Zhang Renchu had just seized the position, and the vanguard of the Japs to reinforce Daguozhuang arrived. This is the Japs closest to Daguozhuang, and it looks like
An infantry squad, also leading the No. 100 puppet army, ran towards Daguozhuang in the moonlight.
When he saw that there were only these small shrimps, Zhang Renchu was very angry and felt that his work was in vain. It was a pity that Liu Qibin and the others had buried all the mines. However, Zhang Renchu soon discovered that there was a big fish behind the small shrimps. The problem was that the big fish was a bit big.
, I’m afraid I can’t eat it.
The Japanese baggage unit that Zhang Renchu and others attacked was indeed the baggage force of the 228th Regiment of the 38th Division. As soon as the gunfire rang out, the captain of the Japs regiment woke up. Knowing that the Eighth Route Army was attacking his baggage unit again, he immediately ordered preparations.
The three brigades that attacked Dingtao quickly returned for reinforcements. They must catch up with Tubal Road no matter what, eliminate Tubal Road, and recapture the ammunition on the car.
Under the strict order of the leader of the Japs Regiment, the three groups of Japs were immediately dispatched. The car lights came on on the road. Needless to say, it was the main force of the 228 Regiment arriving with motorcycles, tanks, armored vehicles and cars as reinforcements.
Zhang Renchu was a fierce general, but not a reckless one. He made a decision quickly. After defeating the Japs' vanguard troops, he withdrew. He jumped on the Japs' flanks to ambush and harass him. He took one bite at a time without giving the Japs a chance to surround him.
.
Zhang Renchu immediately ordered the fire support battalion's mortars and grenade launchers to evacuate their positions. The Japanese and puppet troops had only a few troops, and the machine gun fire and rifle fire alone wiped them out in one encounter, without the need for artillery fire. Then Zhang Renchu ordered
Notify the political commissar to lead the third battalion to cover the Caoxian county brigade. The baggage company quickly retreated, and the Japanese army came up.
A small group of Japs, puppet soldier No. 100, ran towards the ambush circle of the 1st Guard Regiment of Southwest Shandong Province in the dark.
Zhang Renchu didn't want this small group of Japanese and puppet troops to step on the landmines, so he planned to leave the mine array to the incoming Japanese army. Therefore, just when the last little Japanese soldier came into the shooting range with a whirring sound,
Zhang Renchu's gun fired, and in an instant, the light and heavy machine guns and rifles of the Eighth Route Army's ambush position rang out, covering more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops running in two columns on the road into a net of fire.
This kind of small battle could not last long. After the Eighth Route Army had cleaned up the battlefield and retreated in the night, the small Japanese army arrived. The first thing that caught the eye was the stripped dry ground north of Liuzhuang.
The clean corpses of the Japanese and puppet soldiers were then stepped onto the minefields laid by the Caoxian County Brigade. After a while of fussing with tanks and cannons, the little devils finally arrived at Daguozhuang. What was waiting for them was still
The cleanly peeled Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese commander went crazy and reported to the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujii Yochi, that there was a powerful Eighth Route Army unit hidden in Caoxian County. They used quick-fire tactics to specifically attack the Imperial Army's supply troops and rearguard units. This unit must be found.
The Eighth Route Army was completely wiped out.
The captain of the 228th Regiment did not know that Fujii Yotomo was already restless in Caoxian City at this time, because all three of his infantry regiments reported being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and even the three supplementary brigades remaining in Caoxian City reported
After being attacked by Tubal Road, Fujii Yotomo couldn't understand. There were no Chinese people in Caoxian County, so how could there be Tubal Road? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army also dug tunnels in the county?
Fujii Yotomo was indeed right. There are tunnels in Caoxian County. The reconnaissance company and guard company of the Eighth Route Army's Southwest Shandong Guard Brigade entered the city through the tunnels, and they played hide and seek with the Japs in the city.
After sending the telegram to the division commander, the captain of the 228th Regiment thought that the Eighth Route Army was afraid of him and had fled. He kept cursing the Eighth Route Army for being a coward. How shameful. He ordered the troops to follow the wheel marks of the cars and carts to chase them.
Be sure to catch up with this cunning and cunning Tubal.
Zhang Renchu likes the Japs' relentless pursuit. It's night now, not broad daylight. There are Japanese planes flying around overhead. If you're not careful, you may cause heavy losses. The night belongs to the Eighth Route Army. You can fight wherever you want.
You can fight wherever you want. Zhang Renchu, who was born in the old Red Army, is definitely an expert in night guerrilla warfare. What's more, his Southwest Shandong Garrison Regiment now has sufficient ammunition and sophisticated weapons?
The poet said that the stars are the eyes of the night. In fact, what is brighter than the stars are the eyes of the Eighth Route Army soldiers hidden in the night.
Mo Wenhua crawled next to Zhang Renchu, looked at the Japanese troops chasing down the baggage convoy in the direction of the transfer, and said to Zhang Renchu: "Old Zhang, retreat after one hit, don't let the little Japanese stick around."
Zhang Renchu shook his head like a rattle: "Why retreat? I finally caught the opportunity to beat up the Japs wildly, but I haven't had enough of beating them yet! I'll hit him first to knock down the little Japs' madness. When he becomes honest,
us
Just divide the troops, use companies and platoons as units, harass everywhere, fight sparrow wars, and leave after one bite. One bite to the east, one bite to the west, one bite to the south, one bite to the north. The little devil is my snack, and I want to have a good time.
!”
Mo Wenhua whispered: "If the opportunity is good, the Japanese from other directions will come back to help us and make our dumplings."
Zhang Renchu's eyes were like a leopard's, shining faintly: "Don't worry, we are not the only regiment on the battlefield, there are two guard brigades, six main regiments, two supplementary regiments, two new regiments, and two brigades directly under the
The troops and local armed forces are all as smart as monkeys. Who doesn’t want to take advantage of the enemy’s division of troops to make a profit? Little devil
It is impossible for other troops to come to the reinforcements so smoothly. I have seen through it. The instructors are definitely ranked according to their records. Without records, they will never be able to get into the eyes of the division commander and never hope to enter the main force. Old man, we have to
Show your face in front of the division commander, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to have a chance to participate in the main battle."
When Mo Wenhua was incited by Zhang Renchu, his eyes lit up: "Fuck it! Beat the hell out of that little devil!"
The little Japs came up. This time, the Japs were on motorcycles, armored vehicles, and tanks, with their lights on, chasing after them quickly.
Close, close. Seeing the little Japs entering the electrically detonated explosives deployed by the engineers, Zhang Renchu's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "Detonate!"
The engineer pressed the detonation button, and there was a loud bang, followed by a loud bang, and the little devil's motorcycle, armored vehicle, and tank were suddenly enveloped in smoke.
Immediately afterwards, the Eighth Route Army opened fire, with light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars, hitting the little Japs behind the tanks and armored vehicles, and instantly dispersed the Japs' pursuit team.
The little Japs were well trained and maintained an attack formation even in pursuit. The Japs in front died as fast as they ran. When the Japs behind caught up and started firing, the Eighth Route Army disappeared into the darkness of the night.
At this time, the captain of the 228th Regiment became honest and stopped waving his command knife to order the troops to pursue. He knew that he had covered the Eighth Route Army at night, and if he continued to pursue, he might lose more troops.
The Japanese stopped chasing and began to shrink their troops and defend. How could the Eighth Route Army let the little Japanese get what they wanted? Zhang Renchu ordered the troops to attack the Japanese in companies and platoons. They fired for a while in the east, a while in the west, fired a few cannons in the south, and fired machine guns in the north.
As a result, gunshots were fired all night on the highway from Caoxian County to Dingtao.
That night, wherever the little devils went in Caoxian, Dingtao, Chengwu, Shanxian, and Dongming, there were gunshots and mine explosions everywhere.
Fujii Yochi kept lamenting: This night is so long!
It was not until the North China Front sent a telegram that the main force of the 10th Division was in the north of Fei County in Lunan and ordered Fujii Yotomo to shrink his troops. Fujii Yotomo was relieved and ordered all troops to build defensive positions on the spot and withdraw to Cao County after dawn.
It’s not just southwestern Shandong. On the night of October 9, the Tai’an detachment of the Eighth Route Army and the Taixi Garrison Brigade launched a night attack on the units of the Japanese 27th Division that went north to reinforce Tai’an.
Common people have a saying, follow good people to learn from good people, and follow witches to learn to dance. Liu Yimin is a good person, but the methods he instilled in the cadres to deal with the little devils are much better than the magic and illusions of those magicians and witches. No,
Wang Jian'an, the commander of the Western Tai'an Guard Brigade, and Zhang Haitao, the commander of the Tai'an detachment, both chose the attack point to be on the Japs' logistics troops. This was because Liu Yimin's guiding ideology was to fight economically and beat the Japs into poverty.
Since the sacrifices of Huang Su and Guo Zheng, the cadres and soldiers of the Taixi Guard Brigade have been obsessed with revenge, and they have fought brilliantly in cooperation with the main force on several occasions.
The Taixi area borders Jinpu Road to the east, the canal and the Yellow River to the west, Jinan to the north, Yanzhou Line to the south, and the Wen River in the middle. The terrain is narrow and the space for maneuver is small. This geographical environment determines that this is the area where the competition between the enemy and ourselves is the most intense.
Fortunately, tunnels were dug relatively early in western Taipei. The mountainous areas of Feizhong and Feibei, coupled with tunnel warfare, became a barrier for our army to defend western Taipei.
Since Zhang Haitao led the Tai'an detachment to attack Dawenkou Town, the Wenhe Railway Bridge and the railways from Dawenkou to Beijipo and Dawenkou to Ciyao were all destroyed. However, the Japanese troops stationed in Tai'an independently formed the Sixteenth
Due to the scattered forces, the brigade was unable to recapture Dawenkou Town and had to ask for reinforcements from the 12th Army. As a result, the main force of the Japanese 27th Division stationed in Yanzhou, Jining, Qufu, and Surabaya went north for reinforcements.
The Japanese 27th Division was expanded on the basis of the mixed infantry brigade of the Chinese Garrison Army. Its combat effectiveness is relatively strong among the Japanese troops in North China. However, the 27th Division suffered several heavy losses at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and its operations have changed.
Have to be very cautious.
An old playboy who likes men, Lieutenant General Masaki Honma, commander of the 27th Division, received the order to reinforce Tai'an, leaving the infantry commander to lead a regiment and two supplementary brigades, as well as the artillery and part of a battalion.
Engineers, heavy baggage troops command the puppet troops to guard Yanzhou
, Jining, Qufu, and Surabaya, he led two artillery regiments, a tank squadron, an armored vehicle squadron and two regiments, and a supplementary group to go north for reinforcements. Before leaving, Lieutenant General Honma Masaki told the infantry regiment commander that the time
Stay vigilant and guard against sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army.
Masaki Honma is different from Fujii Yotomo, the commander of the 38th Division. Fujii Yotomo was originally a bitter person in the Japanese army and had always been unhappy. Suddenly he was praised by the emperor and became dizzy from the surprise. Honma
Yaqing is a well-known playboy in the Japanese army. He belongs to the category of men and women and is well-informed. Although this guy talks too much, he is the Ma Su in the Japanese army.
But he was not dizzy after all. He knew that the Eighth Route Army always acted with a plan in mind. Since the Eighth Route Army was attacking everywhere this time, it must have hidden strategic intentions. Maybe it was not to attack Jinan as Jun Tada had judged.
, but aimed at his own 27th Division, doing the old trick of encircling a point for reinforcements, just waiting for him to take the bait!
Because of this vigilance, the actions of the main force of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army were very clandestine. During the day, the Japanese troops rushed forward under the cover of aircraft; at night, the little devils huddled together and used diesel generators to drive searchlights.
The surrounding area was illuminated so brightly that the Taixi Guard Brigade and Tai'an Detachment of the Eighth Route Army were unable to attack.
When the main force of the 27th Division entered Tai'an, Honma Masaki had no choice but to command the 12th Army Commander Lieutenant General Iida Sadagu to command the independent 16th Brigade to quickly move from Tai'an to Feicheng to Pingyin.
Establish a defense line and effectively control Jinpu
Along the road and the highway from Jinan to Tai'an to Yanzhou, and from Jinan to Feicheng to Ningyang to Yanzhou, he resolutely blocked the Eighth Route Army that attempted to besiege Jinan and headed south, and was responsible for the Eighth Route Army attacking Jinan from south to north. In this way, he could not divide his troops even if he didn't want to.
As soon as Masaki Honma divided his troops, his hard days began.
Zhang Haitao's Tai'an detachment is targeting the Japanese army's transportation line from Jinan to Tai'an to Yanzhou. Jinpu Road has been suspended, but the Japanese army's logistical supplies cannot be stopped and can only be completed by road. Wang Jian'an's Taixi Garrison Brigade
The target was the highway from Jinan to Feicheng to Ningyang to Yanzhou. Yanzhou was the base camp of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, and Jinan was the base camp of the Japanese Army in Shandong. The Japanese's baggage convoys kept running on the highway every day, making it very lively.
Since the death of the head of the Third Taixi Guard Brigade, Guo Zheng, the political commissar Gao Xi was promoted to the head of the regiment, and the deputy leader Zhang Xiangsheng was promoted to the political commissar. The two trained hard and built the Third Taixi Guard Brigade into a tough team.
In addition to its outstanding performance in the Battle of Taisei, it also performed outstandingly in the subsequent struggle to defend Taisei. The Japanese and puppet troops gave the Third Guards Regiment a nickname, "Taiwan Tigers." That means that the Third Taisei Guards Regiment only eats Japanese troops.
The tiger of the puppet army.
On the evening of October 9, Gao Xi and Zhang Xiangsheng led the Third Guard Regiment to the vicinity of Anjiazhuang. Because they received a report from Feizhong local armed forces, a Japanese transport convoy was camping in Anjiazhuang tonight.
Anjiazhuang is an old battlefield. During the Battle of Taixi, Li Lingfeng commanded the special forces and the 1st Teaching Battalion to capture the Japanese heavy artillery brigade here, which made immortal contributions to the victory of the Battle of Taixi.
Near Anjiazhuang, Gao Xi and Zhang Xiangsheng met the lover of Li Shanzhu, the commander of the 1st Teaching Battalion, the female deputy district chief An Xiaoying.
Seeing the main force arriving, An Xiaoying quickly reported to Gao Xi and Zhang Xiangsheng that there was originally a Japanese squad and a company of puppet troops stationed in Anjiazhuang. When it got dark today, a Japanese convoy came from the direction of Ningyang.
, there were cars, rubber-tired carts, and bullock carts requisitioned by the Japanese army. The carts were all loaded with ammunition and food.
The geographical location of Anjiazhuang is too important. It can control the east-west, north-south highways and the Wenhe Bridge. Originally, after the Taixi Garrison Brigade launched an attack, the Anjiazhuang stronghold was a must-attack target. However, Wang Jianan considered the division headquarters
According to the combat intention and plan, it was believed that only by allowing the Japanese and puppet troops to maintain control of some important strongholds on the highway could they attract reinforcements from the Japanese and puppet troops and thereby create fighter opportunities. Therefore, the Japanese and puppet strongholds in Anjiazhuang would temporarily exist during the war.
Facts have proved that Wang Jian'an's judgment was correct, because the Japanese army still maintained a large stronghold on the highway from Yanzhou to Ningyang, and from Feicheng to Jinan, so the 27th Division dared to transport baggage through this highway with confidence and boldness.
Gao Xi was worried and personally took the cadres to observe Anjiazhuang up close. From this observation, Gao Xi understood that the Japanese army was using the Anjiazhuang stronghold as a military station, and the Japanese soldiers were forcing them to capture him.
The peasants are unloading the goods from the car!
After the observation, Gao Xi said excitedly to An Xiaoying: "Thank you to the local comrades. This time, we are going to make a big capture!"
An Xiaoying was a little worried: "Commander Gao, the battle cannot last long. As time goes by, the Japanese troops on the Feicheng front line may come up with reinforcements. The little devil has a car, which is very fast!"
Gao Xi said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Japs can provide reinforcements, and we can set up mine formations. Let's see who is stronger!"
Gao Xi immediately carried out combat deployment and ordered the engineer company to lay mines in the direction of Ningyang and Feicheng. He ordered An Xiaoying to find the tunnel entrance and led the seventh battalion through the tunnel into Anjiazhuang to dig out the heart of the Japanese and puppet troops. He ordered the regiment's fire support battalion to be established.
Position, the covering troops should cooperate inside and outside, and annihilate the enemies of Anjiazhuang in one fell swoop.
This plan is absolutely feasible, because Anjiazhuang is not only an important market town and transportation artery in this area, but also an important fulcrum of the tunnel network in Feizhong area. The little devil didn't know how powerful he was, and even set up a stronghold here. When did the Eighth Route Army want to attack
Getting to this stronghold is a piece of cake.
Before leaving, An Xiaoying looked at Gao Xi, blushed and asked if there was any news about the teacher and the others.
Gao Xi joked, "You want to ask if there is any news about Li Shanzhu, right? You are still shy. You are asking for news about your sweetheart under the guise of asking the teacher. You are such a ghost."
An Xiaoying was embarrassed and turned around to run away.
Gao Xi stopped her and told her that the First Brigade had gone into battle and it would not be long before Li Shanzhu came to find her.
Gao Xi even joked that he shouldn't go and treat his comrades to wedding candies when the time comes.
An Xiaoying was so ashamed that she turned around and ran away to prepare to enter the tunnel with the Seventh Battalion.
