Turn the time back to the day when Lunan was recovered.
It was a quiet night, and Dushan Island was quiet.
Yue Weihan and Liu Yi were standing by the radio station, paying close attention to the movements of the Japanese troops in Jining and nearby areas.
At this time, Yue Weihan did not know what impact the news of the liberation of Lunan would have on the entire Anti-Japanese War.
Second Lieutenant Hu Dan translated the message as quickly as possible and handed it to Liu Yi. Liu Yi hurriedly read it and said to Yue Weihan beside him: "Brigade, this old devil Suzuki is too cautious. He would rather us capture more than a dozen counties."
, we would rather we pull out the dozens of strongholds along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and Tianjin-Puzhou Railway, just huddle in Jining and refuse to come out, damn it."
"It's no wonder." Yue Weihan said abruptly, "The little devil is afraid of being beaten by our Baoshan Brigade."
"The host is right." Liu Yi nodded and said, "This old devil Suzuki is also on guard against us trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He will never act rashly until the exact whereabouts of our Baoshan Brigade are known."
Yue Weihan smiled slightly and said: "Just wait, he will be out of the cave soon!"
…
Jining, Japanese frontline command post.
Major General Suzuki was pacing back and forth anxiously in the war room. Just now, Lieutenant General Nishio Hisao, the commander of the Second Army in Shandong, scolded him on the phone. It's no wonder that in one day and night, he actually
After losing more than a dozen county towns and more than twenty strongholds in the southern Lunan region, how could Lieutenant General Nishio Shozo not be angry?
However, Major General Suzuki believes that the situation in Lunan seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is not.
Those who occupy more than a dozen counties in southern Shandong are just some local armed forces with no combat effectiveness at all. As long as the most difficult Baoshan Brigade is solved, these local armed forces can defeat it anytime and anywhere. As for the strongholds and gun towers along the canals and railways,
, there are a lot of Chinese workers in the southern Shandong area, and we will just recruit tens of thousands of workers to rebuild it.
All in all, all in all, the key is Baoshan Travel!
As long as the Baoshan Brigade is eliminated, all problems will be solved!
But where is Baoshan Brigade hiding now? If Baoshan Brigade cannot be found, everything is out of the question.
Major General Suzuki no longer has any hope for Minami Yunko. More than ten hours have passed since the last message was sent in the morning, but no news has been sent back from Minami Yunzi. It seems that her
His identity has probably been discovered by Yue Weihan. Yue Weihan is really awesome!
Major General Suzuki had a vague intuition that the Baoshan Brigade was lurking in a dark place not far from Jining!
After all, this is Chinese territory, and it is not easy to find the whereabouts of Baoshan Travel!
Although Chi Dianwen's Jining Water Guards (Anqing Daoyihui) and Sun Liangcheng's Imperial Association Army are also Chinese, Major General Suzuki does not trust them because the Anqing Daoyihui and Lunan bandits, Huidaomen organizations and major
The families are inextricably linked, and Sun Liangcheng has just defected to the imperial army!
Therefore, Major General Suzuki would rather wait than act rashly.
…
Outside Zaozhuang City.
Qiao Zhuangcheng's Yanzi Army of the Baoshan Brigade has already joined Liu Fengsheng's cavalry battalion.
According to Yue Weihan's plan, Liu Fengsheng's cavalry battalion first disguised themselves as bandits. After cooperating with the Eighth Route Army to capture Shanting County, they quickly advanced to Zaozhuang. The Lunan Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighth Route Army also sent a brigade to cooperate with the operation. In this way, together with the Yanzi Army,
The number of Chinese troops outside Zaozhuang City reached more than 1,300, which was almost the size of the Baoshan Brigade.
Without any time to rest, the cavalry battalion, the Yanzi Army and the Eighth Route Army began to attack the city. The cavalry artillery company first fired ten rounds of rapid fire!
At this time, there were only half a Japanese team in Zaozhuang City, more than a hundred plainclothes teams, and more than 500 puppet troops. As soon as they heard the gunfire outside, the plainclothes team and the puppet troops immediately went into trouble. The plainclothes captain Liu Mazi and the puppet army commander
Ma Yaowu immediately took his followers and fled for his life. After Zaozhuang was defeated last time, they had already been frightened by the Baoshan Brigade!
The city gate was quickly blown open, and Yanshan Fox led the Yanzi Army into Zaozhuang City.
In less than half an hour, all the twenty-odd Japanese soldiers who had resisted were wiped out, and Zaozhuang was restored!
…
Shanting County, Headquarters of the Lunan Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighth Route Army.
Peng Mingzhi had already set off with his troops to lay mines and ambush them.
Political Commissar Wu Faxian is assigning tasks to Deputy Director of the Political Department Cao Xiuwen: "Comrade Xiuwen, more than 800 combat backbones from Shanting County and county brigades and district teams have all been promoted to detachments. Your job at this stage is to fully mobilize the masses and publicize our party.
We must adhere to the anti-Japanese proposition and strive to reorganize the county brigade and district squad in the shortest possible time.”
"Okay." Cao Xiuwen nodded and said, "Don't worry, political commissar, I promise to complete the task."
Wu Faxian then said to Tang Shaoyi, deputy director of the Secret Service Department: "Comrade Shaoyi, the focus of your work at this stage is still to find ways to contact the Yanzi Army. You must find ways to win this armed force into the camp of our Eighth Route Army. In addition, Wang
Huzi, Thirteen Mazi and other groups of armed forces should also try their best to fight for them."
After saying this, Wu Faxian added: "Due to the strong cooperation of the Baoshan Brigade, our army has won consecutive battles. The anti-Japanese situation in southern Shandong is now very good. It is precisely to fully mobilize the masses, fully strengthen our party and our army, and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army."
Great opportunity, we must not miss this opportunity!"
"Yes." Tang Shaoyi responded crisply.
…
Jining, Japanese frontline command post.
During the suffocating wait, Captain Ozawa, the intelligence staff officer, suddenly walked into the war room with a panic expression. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said to Major General Suzuki: "General, the Baoshan Brigade raided Zaozhuang half an hour ago. After half an hour of fierce fighting, Zaozhuang was defended.
The Ono team was collectively defeated, the plainclothes team and the Imperial Army were also defeated, and Zaozhuang fell!"
"What?" Major General Suzuki said in disbelief, "Baoshan Brigade raided Zaozhuang!?"
This is wrong! Didn't the Baoshan Brigade want to attack Jining? Why did they go to Zaozhuang again?
"Hai." Captain Ozawa suddenly lowered his head and said, "Before Lieutenant Ohno died for His Majesty the Emperor, he called the headquarters and personally told him that the Chinese army attacking Zaozhuang had more than a thousand people and a company of artillery.
And the quality of the artillery is not inferior to that of the imperial army, it should be the Baoshan Brigade!"
"Baga Yalu!" Major General Suzuki was furious and tore the map in front of him into pieces.
The Chinese army attacking Zaozhuang actually had artillery, and it was of extremely high quality. It seemed that it must be the Baoshan Brigade!
"Order..." After venting his anger, Major General Suzuki gritted his teeth and said, "The 2nd Independent Motorized Rifle Brigade, the 116th Infantry Regiment, the 3rd Independent Cavalry Regiment, and the 4th Independent Cavalry Regiment set off immediately. We must arrive at Zaozhuang before dawn and find the enemy.
To eliminate the Baoshan Brigade, no matter what happens, we must hold on to them tightly. We must not let them escape this time!"
Suzuki was still cautious and did not play all the cards in his hand.
However, only half an hour later, Major General Suzuki realized the seriousness of the problem.
The 2nd Independent Motorized Rifle Brigade from Yanzhou, the 3rd and 4th Independent Cavalry Regiments, and the 116th Infantry Regiment from Teng County were all attacked by the Eighth Route Army and local armed forces in southern Shandong, especially the Eighth Route Army.
A large number of mines were laid on the ground, which greatly slowed down the Japanese army's march.
Moreover, every time the Japanese army moves forward, the resistance it encounters will become stronger!
Two hours later, Lieutenant Colonel Kataoka Kakuzu, commander of the 116th Infantry Regiment, reported to Major General Suzuki that a large number of Chinese local armed forces were coming from all directions. The number of Chinese local armed forces gathered around the 116th Regiment exceeded 5,000.
The only good thing is that the combat effectiveness of these Chinese local armed forces is extremely poor and is not enough to pose a threat.
In addition, Chinese local armed forces also appeared in Heze, Jinxiang, and Juyechengxiao. The Chinese local armed forces in Huxi did not seem to be satisfied with the status quo. After the recovery of Shanxian, Chengwu, Dingtao, and Caoxian counties, they again
The idea was taken against Heze, Jinxiang and Juye who were heavily guarded by Japanese troops.
The captain of the Japanese 122nd Regiment stationed in Jinxiang, Kokai Matsuzaka, Major General Kyden Suzuki, requested to take the initiative.
Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Jie also said in the telegram that China's local armed forces are expanding at an alarming rate. The number of Chinese local armed forces gathered outside Jinxiang alone has exceeded 3,000. If the imperial army continues to wait and see what happens, the situation in Huxi seems to be in danger.
The danger of losing control, Major General Suzuki finally lost his calm and became confused. Everything seemed to be in chaos!
Major General Suzuki didn't know how the situation evolved into what it is now.
If the Japanese army continues to stand still, the situation in Lunan will really get out of control!
Once the number of Chinese local armed forces launching a rebellion exceeds 100,000, the situation will be difficult to deal with.
No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army is, it is impossible for them to face such a huge Chinese armed force. What's more, this is China, and it is the territory of the Chinese. If the Chinese armed forces are lost, they will be replenished soon. They will only get worse as they fight.
Strong, but the warriors of the imperial army are dying one by one, so they can only become weaker as they fight!
There is no other choice. We must cut through the mess quickly and suppress this rebellion as quickly as possible!
…
Dushan Island, the temporary base of Baoshan Brigade.
Another telegram was delivered to Yue Weihan and Liu Yi.
The content of this telegram is clearly a combat order issued by Major General Suzuki, Chief of Staff of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, to various departments of the Japanese Army. It was deciphered by Yanzi Army Master Gao Jingwu and forwarded by Major Liu Xin of the Left Behind Command. Yanzhou, Teng County, Jinxiang
, Juye’s Japanese army almost rushed out in full force, leaving only one infantry brigade in Jining City.
Moreover, this infantry brigade is not a field infantry, but a garrison.
After reading the telegram, Liu Yi couldn't help but said with joy: "Great, this old devil Suzuki finally can't hold his anger anymore!"
There was not much excitement on Yue Weihan's face, and he ordered Hu Dan: "Immediately telegraph this combat order from the Japanese army to the Eighth Route Army, and then telegraph Gao Shiye of the Yanzi Army, and ask him to find a way to inform the local armed forces in Huxi and Hudong areas to let them
Don’t fight the Japanese troops head-on, but you must find a way to lure the Japanese troops into a mountain den.”
