The 10th Division was formed on October 1, 1898, with soldiers from the four prefectures of Hyogo, Okayama, Tottori and Shimane, and the first division commander was Prince Sadaai Fushimi Miya.

After the September 18 Incident, the division sent a mixed brigade and regiment to the Kwantung Army, and participated in the capture of Jinzhou, the operation of the Songhua River valley, and the Jilin Raid. After the outbreak of the 77 Incident, the division, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, landed in Tanggu, Tianjin, joined the Second Army's combat sequence, and then attacked all the way along the Jinpu Road, forcing Han Fuqu to retreat for thousands of miles, and did not stop the offensive until it occupied Yanzhou, Zouxian, Jining, and Qufu. There are no other reasons, one is that there was a mistake in the strategy of the army at that time, and the 10th Division was not allowed to directly attack Xuzhou, which was empty in defense; Second, Liu Yimin led the instructor to attack and occupy Tianjin, and the North China Front Army urgently transferred troops from all walks of life back to Tianjin, in an attempt to gather and annihilate the instructor under the city of Tianjin. That is, when he returned to Tianjin, under the city of Cangxian County, the 10th Division fought with the instructor troops for the first time, so that Isoya Ryosuke didn't even want to be the vanguard.

This Isoya Ryosuke was indeed unlucky, he was beaten by the cavalry battalion of the Fourth Brigade taught by the instructor in Cangxian County, and was beaten by Li Zongren's Fifth War Zone in Taierzhuang. However, this guy is thick-skinned, and since no one forced him to disembowel, he will continue to be the commander of his division safely.

The most reasonable plan is for Ryosuke Isoya to command the southern front group to attack Lunan and the mountainous areas of central and southern Lu, after all, they are relatively familiar with the terrain there. Unfortunately, due to his poor performance in the Battle of Taierzhuang, Terauchi Shouichi did not look at the close personal relationship between Ryosuke Isoya and the emperor, and simply transferred him to the Jilu border and belonged to the command of Okamura Ninji.

The military order is like a mountain, and although Ryosuke Isoya is unhappy in his heart, he still has to carry out the order. However, this guy has suffered a loss at the hands of the instructor, and after knowing that the troops on the Jilu border are the troops of the instructor, he is afraid that something will happen again. Because he had already received the news that he was about to be appointed chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, he did not want to do anything embarrassing before taking office, so he hid in Dexian County and asked the commanders of the two brigades to command the troops to launch a surprise attack on the southern front of the Jilu border.

At this time, the devils of the 10th Division were liberated, especially the commander of the 33rd Brigade, Major General Seya Kei. This person has been afraid of being ordered to be ordered to disembowel, and he once followed Isoya Ryosuke's ass and trembled for a period of time, until the base camp replenished him with troops and equipment, he put his mind at ease, trained and ran in the troops wholeheartedly, and always thought about revenge against the Chinese people, a series of tragedies that occurred in the Xuzhou area in the later stage of the Xuzhou Battle were quite a few of his masterpieces.

Later, he figured out that Lieutenant General Okamura was not polite to the Chinese and cherished the lives of the Chinese, but wanted to turn the Chinese into obedient slaves of the Empire, just like the Empire's policy in Manchuria, isolating the [***] and the Eighth Route Army from the common people, making it easier to eliminate the [***] Eighth Route Army and to rule the common people. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary not only to resolutely eliminate the Eighth Route Army, but also to eliminate those ordinary people who support the Eighth Route Army, and make an example of them, so that those who are watching can listen to the orders of the imperial army, be under the command of the imperial army, and follow the imperial army to fight the Eighth Route Army. This was the case with every foreign invasion in Chinese history.

Thinking about this truth, Kei Seya admired Okamura Ninji from the bottom of his heart, and felt that Lieutenant General Okamura was worthy of being one of the three black clouds, and he did have political acumen and strategic vision. He must conscientiously carry out his orders, kill all the ordinary people who are connected with the Eighth Route Army, and turn other ordinary people into obedient people who obey the orders of the imperial army and pay food and payment for the imperial army.

So, after leaving Dexian County, Seya Qi's 33rd Brigade took the lead, entering villages and towns when they saw them, and breaking into people's houses when they saw them. The empty village is naturally related to the Eighth Route Army, and they all burn it out; The grain and livestock in the homes of the common people were all the trophies of the imperial army, and all of them were seized. Along the way, Seya Kai robbed all the way, burned all the way, and killed all the way. It was not until Major General Lai Wuping, commander of the 8th Brigade, reported to Isoya Ryosuke that Seya Kai's slow action had affected the coordinated actions of the two brigades and regiments, and violated the combat ban of General Terauchi Shouichi, the commander of the North China Front, that Isoya Ryosuke directly sent a telegram to reprimand Seya Kai, asking him if he wanted to repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Taierzhuang, that Seya Kai concentrated his forces on a rapid attack and advance.

However, this Hebei and Lubian areas were relatively early base areas created by the instructors of the Eighth Route Army after they entered Shandong, and the building of political power and local armed forces has tended to be complete. As soon as the army entered the territory of Lingxian, it began to enter the death trap, and there were mines exploding constantly on the way forward, and every sound either took away the life of a devil or a few arms and legs, and a burst of random guns rang out from time to time in front of and behind the team, and although Seya Kai and Lai Wuping did not know that it was a sparrow war launched by the county brigade, the district squad, and the militia, they knew that after that burst of random gunfire, they would inevitably take away the lives of some imperial soldiers. Pursue it, these dirt roads will disappear without a trace after they have been beaten, as if the legendary land has escaped; Don't pursue it, this has not yet encountered the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army, and there are constantly casualties. In desperation, Kei Seya and Lai Wuping both placed armored vehicles and tanks on both sides of the marching procession, walking and strafing for a while to protect the large army from interference.

When he arrived at the county seat of Lingxian County, Seya Kai saw through the telescope that the four gates of the county town were wide open and empty, as if all the people in the county had run out, so he ordered two tanks and four armored vehicles to take the lead and guide a brigade of the Tenth Wing into the city. Unexpectedly, they encountered a severe blow at the gate of the city, two tanks and four armored vehicles were all blown up by the mines of the Eighth Route Army, and the infantry was even more miserable, and the explosives and mines of the Eighth Route Army were blown up to pieces. Those who were lucky enough to survive were ravaged by the machine guns and rifles of the Eighth Route Army, and only more than 300 people survived an infantry brigade of 1,100 people.

This time it was lively, and Seya Kai immediately ordered the artillery of the two brigades of the field artillery wing of the division and regiment under his command and the artillery of each wing of the brigade to concentrate on shelling the city gate. The four planes covering the movement of the 33rd Brigade also fiercely pounced on the county seat of Lingxian County, blowing up the West City Gate to a mess.

When Major General Lai Wuping caught up, after seeing the battle situation, he told Seya Qi that this was a typical tactic of Liu Yimin's troops, and that the Eighth Brigade had suffered such a big loss last time in Cangxian. If the judgment is good, there are bigger traps in the county, and after the imperial army enters the city for a while, the Eighth Route Army will run away after a while. Gotta chase after them, don't let them run away.

As soon as Lai Wuping's words fell, the observation post reported that a group of cavalry of the Eighth Route Army had left the east gate of Lingxian County and ran eastward, numbering about five or six hundred.

The angry Seya Kai didn't even enter the Ling County Town, and with a finger of his sword, he commanded the 33rd Brigade to chase after him. Seeing that Lai Wu shook his head straightly, he had to order the Eighth Brigade to follow up.

How did Seya Kai know that what the Eighth Route Army wanted was his anger and corruption, and what he wanted was his pursuit.

In this way, the cavalry battalion of the Sixth Brigade of Jiao, with the cooperation of the county brigades, district squads, and militia, adopted the method of blocking and harassing the 10th Division, held the bull's nose of the 10th Division, constantly tightened the reins in his hands, and led the devils into the trap step by step.

After Liu Yimin left Fangzi, he led the main force all the way to the direction of the Yellow River pontoon bridge.

The instructor has won successive battles, and the equipment has undergone earth-shaking changes. In particular, after the battle of Ludong, Liu Yimin got back all the cars and rubber-wheeled carriages of the transport company he drove from Qingdao, and also used the German car factory in Qingdao to produce a batch of rubber tires. Now the instructor has cars, rubber cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and war horses. Not to mention that field artillery and mountain artillery are drawn by war horses, infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers, heavy machine guns, and ammunition are all carried by vehicles or pack horses.

The biggest advantage of marching in the base area is that there is logistical support. Guo Hongtao, who was in charge of the logistics of the army, did not have time to prepare so much dry food, and as soon as he gave the order, all counties, districts, and villages along the way threw themselves into the work of preparing dry food for the troops.

Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong and Liu Yimin walked side by side, and when they saw this lively scene in front of the branch, Cai Zhong said: "Division commander, I have an idea, that is, I suggest that you think about your strategic plan, whether you can prevent the devils from occupying Jiaoji Road again, and let the devils not enter our central base." Relying on the base areas, we can fight any battle. Leaving the base area, the combat difficulties are too great, and it is very likely to return to the Long March period. To tell you the truth, I really don't want to suffer that sin again. ”

Looking at the traffic flow composed of car lights, flashlights, and torches, Liu Yimin was also proud in his heart, and said loudly: "We are not afraid of the devil even if they occupy Jiaoji Road, the people know that we are in Shandong, and they have hope and courage in their hearts, and they will never be as afraid of little devils as they were in the past." You can rest assured, after repelling this army sweep, the little devils in the future will be much easier to deal with. ”

Luo Ronghuan also smiled: "Right, comrade brother, we are not afraid of such a large-scale siege by the army, are we still afraid of the sweep after his large army?" Little devil, wash your neck clean, wait for us to cut it! ”

As the three of them were talking, they saw Zhao Xiaoman leading the soldiers of the art troupe to play bamboo boards on the side of the road: "Jilu side, Jilu side, beautiful Jilu side!"

The Bohai Sea is a beautiful scenery, and the moonset mulberry field can't be finished!

Jilu border, Jilu border, rich Jilu border!

Wheat is turning golden waves everywhere, and soybeans and corn are growing all over the fields.

Jilu border, Jilu border, rich in cotton and salt.

The fish are full of shrimp and shrimp, and the tide is full of seafood.

Jilu border, Jilu border, that's China's Jilu border!

It is said that this devil is here to sweep and wants to kick our golden rice bowl!

Jilu side, Jilu side, Jilu side of the Eighth Route Army.

Polishing the bayonet and rushing forward, swear to defend the Jilu border to the death!

Teaching the first brigade, the steel brigade, and the first tutor mileage.

The chariot roared, the war horse roared, and the lion pounced on the Jilu side!

Teaching the third brigade, the main brigade, can attack and defend the prestige.

Just finished beating the Shanshi regiment, and the iron fist will swing Ji Lubian again!

Teach the Fourth Brigade, the main brigade, and the heroic brigade of the Storm.

Open up Lu Zhongli meritorious, and rebuild Hebei and Lu border with honors.

The cavalry brigade, the main brigade, quickly maneuvered to cut the enemy's stubbornness.

Come like thunder and go like lightning, and the war knife swings to the Jilu side!

Artillery brigades, thunder brigades, mountain artillery, field artillery in a row.

Brigadier Li Chang gave an order, and ten thousand artillery guns rang out in unison, and the enemy was terrified!

Air defense brigade, umbrella, guarding the battlefield heroes.

The enemy planes flew in with their guns and knocked the enemy planes to a loss. ”

On the night of Xia Yue, the troops marched for a long distance and were easy to get tired, and the allegro of Zhao Xiaoman and the soldiers of the Art Troupe was easy to understand and catchy, and the soldiers who were on the march were in good spirits.

Liu Yimin hadn't seen Zhao Xiaoman for a long time, and when he saw this girl leading the soldiers to promote on the roadside, the sweat beads on her tired face were dripping down, and she looked more and more pretty under the moonlight, so she thought that there were a few boxes of canned beef, sausages and compressed biscuits in the backpack of this war horse, so she simply gave them to Zhao Xiaoman and rewarded them.

Just as he was about to pat his horse forward, he saw the cavalry brigade commander Hu Laohu walk up to Zhao Xiaoman, and heard Hu Laohu shouting from a distance: "Comrade Zhao Xiaoman, your allegro is so good, I thank you for the soldiers!" You just said that when Brigadier Li Chang gave an order, ten thousand artillery guns fired at the enemy's terror. When it comes to our cavalry brigade, can we also change it, let's just say that Brigade Commander Hu gave an order, and the sword flashed into the moon. Or that the war knife swings down the enemy's head and falls, or it can be said that the war knife specializes in cutting the head of the devil. In short, no matter how you change it, as long as there is an order from Brigadier Hu. ”

Said that the soldiers of the art troupe laughed and leaned back and forth.

Hu Laohu was thick-skinned and didn't feel ugly, jumped off the war horse, his voice was an octave lower, and he hummed and said, "If you change, I will give you a devil's war knife as a souvenir!" ”

Although the voice was low, the members of the art troupe heard it, and immediately stretched out their hands and said I want it too, which made Hu Laohu stammer, and he no longer dared to ask for an order from Brigade Commander Hu, so he turned over and left, leaving behind the girls a string of silver bell-like laughter.

Liu Yimin stepped forward and stopped in front of the art troupe. The warriors immediately stood up and saluted.

Liu Yimin's eyes swept over the faces of the soldiers, raised his hand to return the military salute, jumped off the war horse, walked to the front of the team, and said that he had worked hard, so he asked Li Chengyi to take off the backpack on the war horse, stretched out his hand to take it, took out the canned beef, enema, and compressed biscuits inside, handed it to Zhao Xiaoman, and explained: "After arriving at the battlefield, you are not allowed to run around, and you are not allowed to leave the guard line of the guard regiment." ”

Zhao Xiaoman let out a "hmm", and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes. Liu Yimin didn't look at her either, turned over on the horse, and roared: "Go, kill the devil!" And he whipped his whip and galloped forward.
