In the city of Tai'an, at this time, in the brigade headquarters of the 10th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army, Komiyayama Nagayama, chief of staff who was left to command a Japanese infantry brigade to defend Tai'an, did not know what he was about to face.

At this time, outside the city of Beicheng, Li Yunlong was standing behind the temporarily constructed artillery position of his own side, the artillery position had already been constructed, as many as 20 mortars of 80 mm caliber were lined up in horizontal columns, and the coordinates of the shelling had already been set.

"Regiment commander, the artillery is ready, please instruct!" After ordering the artillery to be ready, Wang Chengzhu, the captain of the artillery, trotted up to Li Yunlong and saluted.

Li Yunlong bowed his head, looked up at the north gate of Tai'an City not far away, and laughed after sneering: "Okay, fire a cannon for me." pillars, concentrated artillery fire, blew open the city gate, shelled the Japanese fire points on both sides of the city gate, and covered Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Hua, two elite men, into the city from the north gate. One minute to prepare, when the time is up, let's shoot! ”。

"Yes, regiment leader, I promise that the little devil who is fried will cry and call his mother, hehehe!" Wang Chengzhu smiled, stood up and saluted, at this time, he Wang Chengzhu had twenty large-caliber mortars in his hands, and he fired artillery fire in an instant, at least he could blow up the city gate when the Japanese defenders had no time to react, which was a trivial matter.

Sure enough, a minute later, with Li Yunlong's order, the two soldiers who stood a few meters away from Li Yunlong's side took out their signal guns and fired two signal flares into the sky.

"Bang Bang Bang !!"

The signal flare exploded in the dark and cold night sky, and the dazzling white dazzling light illuminated the city head of Tai'an North City, and many little devils were completely fascinated by the bright light that suddenly exploded in the sky at the head of the city.

"Baga Ya Road, flare! Not good, enemy attack, quickly prepare to counterattack! "Stationed at the north gate of Tai'an is the third squadron of an infantry brigade under the jurisdiction of the 11th Wing of the 10th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army, only to see the Japanese squadron leader of this squadron, Taro Yamamoto, saw the signal flare exploded over the dark Beicheng City for the first time, and knew that there was an enemy regular army attacking Tai'an City at night, after all, the signal flare is not a high-end cargo that ordinary guerrillas can have.

It's just that Yamamoto Taro just finished speaking less than two seconds ago, only to see a sudden hula from the woods hundreds of meters outside the city, suddenly hula and burst out of the trail left by the shelling. It was the trail of cannonballs whizzing through the sky, with a long tail flame whizzing through the sky. Typical shelling, Taro Yamamoto's eyes pierced when he saw this scene, and then a chill surged in his heart.

"Shelling, shelling, hide quickly!"

Yamamoto Taro roared angrily and ordered the Japanese soldiers under his command to hide, but at this time, the Japanese troops at the head of Tai'an City were trembling and defending the city, and their vigilance was not strong. The main force of more than 6,000 Japanese troops followed Xiaomiyashancheng to the north and marched north into the mountainous area of Taishan to encircle and suppress Li Yunlong's army, how could he have thought that Xiaomiyayamacheng's men and horses would be completely annihilated, and there would be no one left?

And the most surprising thing is that Li Yunlong's troops will attack Tai'an City so soon, they are simply caught off guard!

The little devil soldiers of the third squadron of the Japanese army, to which Taro Yamamoto belonged, were dizzy one by one. By the time he heard Taro Yamamoto's roar, the cannonballs fired by Wang Chengzhu had already fallen like heavy rain.

Twenty 80-millimeter mortars rained down shells, and in an instant, they exploded in a way that shook the mountain.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!"

The shells landed and exploded, and there were only more than 200 Japanese troops on the head of the cold northern city of Tai'an, and a squadron of little devils was stationed at the head of the city. Although the city was relatively scattered, Wang Chengzhu's shells kept bombarding and bombing, and the Japanese soldiers at the head of the city were blown up before they even had time to react, and they were blown to pieces.

Stumps and severed arms flew everywhere, fragments of shells hit everything, reporting that the bodies of the little devil soldiers were torn apart one by one.

"Bagaya Road, hurry up, report to the command headquarters, Beicheng has been shelled by the Chinese army, and it can't be defended!" At the first time, Taro Yamamoto grabbed a Japanese soldier not far from him with a roar, and shouted at him and ordered.

The Japanese soldier who was caught by Taro Yamamoto hurriedly responded: "Hello, sir! In the cave behind the city wall, he found a phone number to directly contact the brigade headquarters of the 10th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army in the city, and reported to the brigade chief of staff of the brigade Nagayama Kendaisa.

At this time, Beicheng was bombarded, and the huge explosion was deafening, and the first time the old devil Yongshan Xian heard a loud explosion in the direction of Beicheng.

"What's going on? Hurry up, contact the defenders of the North City, hurry up and drop! Yongshan Xian frowned, thinking that it was the defenders of Beicheng who went out of fire, after all, in the direction of Beicheng, the Japanese army had several mortars and many shells, thinking that it was a martyrdom caused by a misfire, but he didn't expect that there was an artillery bombardment.

Only half a minute later, a Japanese staff officer urgently reported to Nagayama: "Chief of staff, the big thing is not good. Beicheng was attacked by the Chinese army, the opponent's artillery fire was fierce, at least more than fifteen mortars shelled the city head and city gate, and the third squadron defending the city suffered heavy casualties, and I am afraid that it could not be defended. It seemed that some of the enemy's cavalry had already begun to charge and slaughter the north gate. Request reinforcements! Request reinforcements! ”。

"Nani? There is a branch of the army that attacked my northern city of Tai'an at night? How can it be? ”

Nagayama Ken was taken aback, and for a moment he couldn't believe it. How is this possible? The city of Tai'an is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is more than enough to have an infantry brigade to defend, how can there be a regular army of the Zhina army attacking the city of Tai'an at night?

It's just that at this time, the gunfire in the direction of Beicheng is becoming more and more intense, and there is a faint sound of the enemy charging and shouting to kill, so Yongshan Xian has to believe it.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, it's true. On the phone, the gunfire in the north city was fierce, and there was a shout of killing by the enemy outside the city, and they had already entered the city gate! What to do? Chief of Staff, please instruct! The Japanese staff officer who reported the situation roared urgently, not caring for the respect for Nagayama in the slightest.

At this time, Nagayama Ken was in surprise, but he ignored the look on the face of the Japanese staff officer who reported the situation.

"Bagaya Road, order the reserves, reinforce the northern city! Listening to the sound of gunfire, the enemy attacked Tai'an City at night, and the main attack was in the direction of the North Gate. The brigade headquarters left a small team to garrison, and the rest of the men and horses guarding the brigade headquarters hurried to reinforce the north gate! If the north gate is lost, everything will be closed! Hurry up and drop! Nagayama Ken made a decision in an instant, at this time Komiyayama couldn't be contacted, it had been almost fifty minutes or so, and Nagayama Ken vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Hai, Your Excellency Chief of Staff!" Several Japanese staff officers of the brigade headquarters responded one after another, and immediately left to give orders and commands.

However, Nagayama Ken could not contact Komiyayama Nari, so he could only send an urgent telegram to Jinan to report to Iida Sadagou about the situation of Tai'an being attacked by the enemy, and ask Iida Sada Shogu for direct tactical guidance. Knowing that Tai'an was under onslaught, Jinan was shaken!
