After the Japanese army's heavy siege of siege of Shandong was issued, Yotochi Fujii finally understood the cleverness of Tada Jun's order to defend Cao County. In particular, he was appointed as the commander of the Shandong Group, responsible for unified command of the 15th Division, and independent mixed division.
1. The Fifth, Seventh Brigade and the 38th Division swept southwest Shandong. Yotochi Fujii suddenly reached the highest peak of his military career. He was so moved that he would never let down the commander.
The expectation is that we must command the troops to clear southwestern Shandong, eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong, serve His Majesty the Emperor, and make contributions to the Greater East Asia Holy War.
No matter what, Fujii Yotochi was born in the Japanese army after all, and even no matter how arrogant he has become, he cannot change his cautious nature. He has made it clear that the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong lacks heavy weapons and does not eat in one battle.
If he lost his 38th Division, otherwise the Eighth Route Army would have launched a counterattack on Cao County. On this basis, Yotochi Fujii was determined to take advantage of this opportunity to gather heavily to wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Southwest Shandong in one battle.
It is precisely based on this guiding ideology that the combat plan formulated by Yotochi Fujii seems extremely conservative. He divided the entire southwestern Shandong operation into three stages: the first stage is the 15th Division, independent of the first, fifth, and
The 7th Brigade was the main force, and a corps of the 38th Division supported the east and captured Shanxian. The purpose was to join forces with the Lunan Group, which attacked the southern Shandong region from Xuzhou and attacked the southern Shandong region from the south, to join the defense line.
Take straight and establish a second line of defense north of the Longhai Line. In the second stage, it captures Chengwu, Dingtao, Heze, and Dongming, and occupy the hinterland of southwestern Shandong. In the third stage, it drives troops eastward and sweeps northward and completely clears the canal.
To the west of Shandong, the entire attack force is based on the 38th Division as the left wing, the 15th Division and the Independent Mixed First Brigade, the Fifth Brigade is the middle road, and the Independent Mixed Seventh Brigade is the right wing. Among them, the Independent Mixed
The 7th Brigade maintained the connection between the Southwest Shandong Group and the South Shandong Group along the west bank of Weishan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake and Dushan Lake, which attacked southern Shandong, and protected the safety of the main force's flanks.
When the Japanese army attacked and advanced to the southern Shandong region on October 5, Yototo Fujii's Southwest Shandong group did not move because the combat plan of the North China Front Command stipulated that he would act one day later. The reason is that,
Tada Jun is too cunning. He wants to observe the movements of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in southern Shandong, leaving the Southwest Shandong Group to operate one day as a mobile force to make up for the battlefield at any time.
The Eighth Route Army scouts attacked everywhere, and suddenly brought Fujii Yotomoto's excitement to life.
He judged that the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong might have realized that the catastrophe was coming, and attempted to disrupt the attack rhythm of the Imperial Army with nighttime harassment wars. He immediately ordered all troops to guard their positions and launch a full-line attack after dawn.
On the night of October 5, not only the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong launched a night attack, but the Eighth Route Army in Shandong and even North China were fighting at night. In addition, the Taierzhuang area defended the canal line and was beaten by the Japanese during the day.
Yu Xuezhong's troops in the Lu War Zone used night cover to gather the troops, and took advantage of the night to escape contact with the Japanese army. They smuggled through the canal between the Japanese troops and advanced towards the Longhai Road. When the Japanese army discovered it, Yu Xuezhong's troops had already arrived at the canal.
South, suburbs north of Longhai Road, and the junction of Tongshan.
The main force of Yu Xuezhong's Sulu War Zone was the first combat target of the Japanese army's southern Shandong group. Naturally, the Japanese army would not watch Yu Xuezhong's troops retreat south. The Japanese army no longer cared about the ban on defending positions at night.
, immediately mobilized troops to encircle and block. At the critical moment, Liu Yimin ordered the commander of the Eighth Route Army Lunan Military Region, Hong Chaoyuan, in the mountainous area of Shandong, to command the troops to fight back on the whole line to cover Yu Xuezhong's retreat. The Japanese army defended the enemy from both sides, and with the cover of night, Yu
The officers and soldiers of Xuezhong's army knew that life and death were in this way, and they no longer cared about preserving their strength.
The 57th Army and Wu Huawen's new fourth division were all concentrated, and they broke out between Nianzhuang and Bayiji on the Longhai Line and broke out.
In this battle, Yu Xuezhong's army suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese did not get much benefit. After all, it was night, and the Japanese never expected that Yu Xuezhong's army would give up the defense line and break through with the Japanese's attack arrow. They were caught off guard.
After dawn, Tada Jung scolded Lieutenant General Jiichiro, who was commanding the Shandong South Group. However, Tada Jung did not order Jiichiro to split his troops to pursue Yu Xuetaka's army, which was not his main battle.
He had to concentrate his efforts to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army. If the main force of the Eighth Route Army had another golden force, Tada Jun's plan would be completely lost. As for Yu Xuezhong's army, who broke through the south, Tada Jun ordered to be responsible for the command of the 17th Division in the Jiangsu and Anhui region.
The 22nd Brigade of Mixed, and the 23rd Brigade of Independent Mixed, continued to pursue, intercept and encircle.
Tada Jun didn't know that the Eighth Route Army had prepared a surprise for him and was about to let him taste it.
Yu Xuezhong's army took action, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan, who were far away in Zhangwan Town, Dingtao, southwest Shandong.
Cai Zhong already knew that the Eighth Route Army Yu Xuezhong Department had a working committee equipped with a secret radio station. Xie Peiran, which is the first major general in history, was the "Shunter". With such a big action, he
Of course, I must report to Shandong Military Region Liu and Chief Luo to know immediately.
Before Liu Yimin rushed to southwest Shandong, he judged in Pingyiji that Yu Xuezhong's army would go south to Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu areas at the critical moment and leave the Shandong battlefield. However, after realizing this news, Liu Yimin felt a little uncomfortable. Yu Xuezhong's army
I haven't been in Shandong for so long as I have been in history. I don't know if there is still a chance to reorganize this army in the future. I don't know if Wu Huawen, Rong Ziheng and others will still be like Han Jiān like in history. But no matter what, I say
Yu Xuezhong's army is currently a team dedicated to the war of resistance, and must not be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese. Liu Yimin did not hesitate at all, and resolutely ordered Hong Chaoyuan to command the troops to counterattack the Japanese and cover Yu Xuezhong's army to break through.
Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong did not have such complicated thoughts as Liu Yimin. Instead, they felt that it was a good thing for Yu Xuezhong's troops to evacuate Shandong. In the future, there will be no main force of the Kuomintang in Shandong, and there will be no more trouble.
Yu Xuezhong left, and the war in Shandong still had to go on. After calming down, Liu Yimin stared at the actions of the Japanese Southwest Shandong Group and issued an order to launch the Southwest Shandong Campaign with the main goal of eliminating the 38th Division.
.
This time, Liu Yimin combined all aspects of information and determined that the Japanese army in southwestern Shandong was about to launch a large-scale attack on the morning of Chuanyue G. What he wanted was this opportunity, and he wanted to hit the Japanese army with a head-on attack just now when the Japanese were just launching.
.
Now, the enemy situation in southwestern Shandong is very clear. In addition to the 38th Division in Cao County, on the front of Shan County are the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, the independent mixed first brigade, and the independent mixed fifth brigade.
On the east side of the Fifth Division is the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army. This brigade is responsible for the task of connecting the South Shandong Group of the Japanese Army and the Southwest Shandong Group. In addition, there is the third Japanese Army in the Shangqiu area south of Cao County.
The 19th Division can go north to reinforce the 38th Division at any time. In the north and southwest Shandong, across the canal are the Japanese army's 37th Division, the Fourth Feng Division, and the 41st Division in southern Hebei and western Shandong.
The regiment and the puppet North China Security Army of the four groups can also go south to reinforce in time.
To the east of southwestern Shandong is the Japanese army's southern Shandong group, which can also advance westward to reinforce. Therefore, the battle to eliminate the 38th Division must be quickly decided and the victory is neat and clean. The Japanese army is stunned.
After the Battle of Southern Shandong, the 38th Division of the Japanese army automatically retreated to Cao County. Due to repeated attacks by our Southwest Shandong Guard Brigade and the Second Shandong Guard Brigade, Fujii Yotomo had to command the troops to sweep, basically controlling the east and west Cao County.
The north-south transportation lines and important market towns began to erode from Shan County, Chengwu and other places. However, even if Fujii Yotomo uses all his tricks, he cannot get rid of the dilemma of being haunted by me everywhere. He must not continuously shrink the defense line and turn the main force
Place it along the highway from Cao County to Longhai Road, relying on the county town, and erode to the east, west, north of the county town.
Now that the war is imminent, the Japanese army has completed the concentration of troops and deployed defenses around the county town, and can concentrate their forces to attack north at any time.
The situation of the Japanese army shows that the Japanese army did not realize that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was in southwestern Shandong and was staring at the Japanese grass with covetous eyes!
This is the benefit of base combat, the troops are easy to conceal and can completely block news, Sichuan,
It was impossible for the Japanese to spy on important information from our army by the small search troops and the Chinese.
Although I don’t know the Japanese military’s combat diagnosis, it is certain that the Japanese army’s first step is to sweep Dan County. The 15th Division, the elite Japanese troops located south of Dan County, the Independent Mixed First Brigade, and the Independent Mixed Fifth Brigade Regiment
And the independent mixed 7th Brigade on the flanks all refer to Dan County.
On the morning of October 5, the Japanese Southwest Shandong Group began to launch a fierce attack on Shan County under the cover of the aircraft.
There is no main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shan County, only local armed forces protect the villagers from evacuating.
The Japanese army made rapid progress, and at night, the Japanese army captured Shan County.
On this day, all the Japanese army besieged southern Shandong were progressing smoothly. As Yu Xuezhong's troops were withdrawn, the Japanese army's southern Shandong group successfully crossed the canal and captured the Taierzhuang line. The troops headed straight to Zaozhuang.
After crossing the Yellow River, the Japanese army group commanded by Yasui Fujiji began to attack the Jining area. The Tai'an Garrison Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was fighting against the Japanese army north of Tai'an, and the Tai'an Detachment was on 11th.
On the 5th of the month, he also launched a night attack on the Japanese army and was ordered to evacuate the position. The Tai'an Detachment turned to the Taiyi Mountain District, and the Taixi Guard Brigade retreated to the Taixi base area and used the authentic network to persist in the struggle. After dawn, the Japanese Fifth Division and the 27th Division
The Fourth Cavalry Brigade, independent mixed 16th* Regiment, did not know that the Eighth Route Army had evacuated, and under the cover of the aircraft, launched a crazy attack on the Eighth Route Army's defense line in northern Thailand. As a result, many aviation bombs were thrown, many shells were fired, all of them
After the Japanese finally rushed to the Eighth Route Army position, they found that what was greeted were buried in trenches, air raid shelters, landmines in the shelter and thunder made of grenades, which made the Japanese cry and howl.
This was also the Japanese troops on the northern front. Before dark, the Japanese trembling Japanese entered Feicheng County and Tai'an County. The Japanese East Group was also progressing smoothly. The Eighth Route Army moved out of the mountainous road in Zhongnan, and let the Japanese go to Zhongnan, Shandong toward Zhongnan, Shandong.
The plains are moving forward, within a day, small
The Japanese occupied several county towns.
At 6:00 p.m. on the 6th, the Japanese North China Front Army publicly released the first report on Shandong's public security and combat, saying that Shandong's public security and combat have achieved unprecedented results. The Japanese Army recovered the southern Hebei region and western Shandong region.
, Jiaodong, southeastern Shandong, and the Xiaoqing River north of Jiaoji Road was launched in the area, Jiaolai area. As of today's evening, Yu Xuezhong, the commander of the Sulu War Zone, was defeated and fled from southern Shandong.
, fled to the northern Jiangsu region south of Longhai Road, and once again fell into the encirclement of the Japanese and Japanese army. The main force of the Eighth Route Army's Shandong Military Region, Liu Yimin's Ministry of Education, was the Xuezhong Ministry, and fell into the Japanese army's establishment in the central and southern Shandong region.
The encirclement of the country is about to collapse. The Japanese army will soon resume occupation of the entire North China Plain, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui regions.
After the war report was published, Jun Tada immediately made a radio conversation, calling on Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan to lead his troops to surrender, cooperate with the Japanese army to jointly build the North China Economic Circle.
Tada Jun said very kindly on the radio: "General Liu Yimin, the Japanese Army admires your bravery and good at fighting. You have fought bloody battles to defend your country's interests, and it has fulfilled the duties of a soldier and fulfilled its military's duties.
But how did your government and the Kuomintang treat the general? Chiang Kai-shek ordered the revocation of the Gui army's number and ordered the reincarnation of Shaanxi to be organized into a local security force to demote the general from a lieutenant division commander to a platoon leader in the second lieutenant, not only the general
The military achievements were written off and the general's personality was also insulted. To put it in a country's idiom, it was too bullying! It was unbearable! The Communist Party was not much better to the general, and they criticized it in the publicly issued newspaper
The general's political proposition and the policy measures in Shandong accused the general of marrying Chiang Kai-shek's wife and cousin as his wife, and hooking up with Chiang Kai-shek. It can be imagined that once the general withdrew from the Communist Party's struggle, he would definitely be able to remove military power, secretly judge, or even
Secret execution. Now, the general is in a very difficult situation. He is facing heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, and Chiang Kai-shek's abandonment and revocation of the number and dismissal of his post. He also faces suspicion within the Communist Party. There is no way out to retreat and retreat. The five ways to retreat are lost.
, I have no way to ask for advice. I will consider it for you. Instead of resisting the Japanese army, captured or killed by the Japanese army, or secretly executed by the Communist Party, it is better to consider it for myself and his wife and children. As long as the general is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he will be with the big brother.
The Japanese and Chinese Army cooperated. The commander was ordered to solemnly promised that the general would be granted the power of commanding the Chinese army in North China that was willing to accept the adaptation of the Japanese and Chinese Army. Please consider where to go. The Japanese and Chinese Army will be ready at any time.
Negotiate with the general on restoring public security in North China and developing the economy of North China.”
The Japanese army's war report was published publicly and the conversation between Tada Jung was published on the radio station. After the people in the rear realized that the Japanese army launched an unprecedented sweep against the anti-Japanese base areas behind the enemy in North China.
Many radio stations responded immediately, condemning the Japanese invaders' crimes and supporting the Shandong War of Resistance. However, some people have different opinions. One of the radio stations interviewed the Kuomintang veteran Dai Jitao and asked him to evaluate the situation in Shandong. Dai Jitao said slowly on the radio: "The situation in Shandong is the situation in Shandong.
So the root of the decay is that the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China disobeyed the Central Military Orders and expanded its strength, which affected the unity and war of resistance. If it were not for this, the Japanese army would not have been so rampant with the Eighth Route Army mentor and the Sulu War Theater. Now, the Japanese army will not be so rampant.
Within a few days, it will capture southern Hebei, western Shandong, and Jiaodong.
The border areas of Jiangsu and Anhui also captured many counties in central and southern Shandong. Wherever the Japanese invaders went, they would definitely kill our people, plunder our wealth, and insult our daughters. I cried for the people of Shandong! In front of them, Han Xiangfang held his own troops and refused to obey
The order was defeated by the Military Commission. Now the teacher Liu Yimin, who was also disobeyed and defeated by the same thousand miles. Han Xiangfang and Liu Yimin were both afraid of the enemy as a tiger, retreated thousands of miles, and disobeyed and refused to obey the order.
The same should be handled!
I ask the Military Commission of the Republic of China to severely punish Liu Yimin, kill one to warn hundreds, and serve as a warning to others!”
Dai Jitao just made a big fuss on the radio, and some people were reluctant there. Mr. Huang Yanpei, who had been to Shandong, also accepted an interview on the radio and immediately refuted Dai Jitao's Hu's statement. The Japanese army said that the Eighth Route Army was surrounded in southern Shandong, and General Liu Yimin was commanding the troops and
How could the Japanese army lose thousands of miles when fighting? What does it mean to violate military orders and government orders? Could it be that Chairman Chiang also required General Liu Yimin to be executed by dismissing General Liu Yimin, who had made great achievements in military affairs?
The two of them immediately started arguing with each other on the radio. This attracted a lot of listeners and greatly increased the radio's listening rate that night.
Liu Yimin was not in the mood to listen to this kind of argument.
After dark that night, Liu Yimin issued an order to launch the Battle of Southwest Shandong in Zhangwan's courtyard.
In the order, Liu Yimin said: "Teaching 1 Brigade, New 1 Brigade, Cavalry Brigade, New 4 Brigade, New 8 Brigade, Southwest Shandong Garrison Brigade, Second Shandong Garrison Brigade, Artillery Brigade, Engineer Brigade, Ryu-heavy Brigade, Air Defense Brigade
Commanders and Comrades at all levels: The Japanese army's heavy encirclement and suppression of Shandong began on October 27, and as of today, the Sichuan and Tiantian have been launched. In this Sichuan and Tiantian, the Japanese army mobilized the main force of the Kwantung Army, the main force of the North China Front Army, and the subordinates and
The 6th Division of the Sichuan Army, the 1st Guard Division stationed in Japan, the 2nd Division, the Taiwan Mixed Brigade stationed in Hainan Island, to our southern Hebei, Shandong,
The Jiangsu-Anhui Border Region launched an unprecedented heavy army encirclement and suppression. Wherever the Japanese army went, they burned, killed and looted wildly, committing numerous crimes, and were so numerous that they were so numerous! As of today, the Japanese army had basically captured southern Hebei, western Shandong, Jiaodong, Jiaolai, Qinghe,
Southeast Shandong and most areas in southern Shandong occupied the transportation lines and most of the towns in these areas. All armed armed forces and militias were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders and defending our base with their blood and lives. Now, our army is mobilizing.
The strategic intention of the Japanese army to pounce on the southern Shandong transportation line has been initially realized, and the time to launch the southern Shandong battle is ripe! Chief Liu Luo decided to immediately launch the southern Shandong battle, destroy the 38th Division of the Japanese army, and give the Japanese army a head-on attack!"
