It is only five or six kilometers from Jinan Railway Station to Luokou Town, and from the junction of Lingxian, Pingyuan, and Linyi, where the Eighth Route Army eliminated the puppet army Mujincheng, to Luokou Town, it is also 60 or 70 kilometers away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Siming's desire to arrive in time before the Japanese army reinforcements in Jinan was tantamount to a fool's dream.

Things in the world are so wonderful, Xiao Siming is planning to move, the Japanese army is making hasty decisions, to be prepared to fight unprepared, to be intentional to fight unintentionally, this thing is not impossible!

The most important thing in this is the word "count", calculate the distance from the battlefield, the marching time, calculate the firepower of your own troops and the firepower of the Japanese army, calculate the mentality of the Japanese commander and the possible countermeasures!

Only by calculating in detail and reliability, knowing oneself and knowing oneself and the other, can we anticipate the enemy's opportunities.

During political struggles, the word "count" is called "temple calculation"; When used in the military, it is called exhaustive strategy, strategizing, and winning a thousand miles!

Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the North China Front Army and commander of the enemy headquarters before the Battle of Xuzhou in the North China Front, received a report from the intelligence agency after dark, saw the news release of the Central News Agency, and then did not stop for a moment, drove directly to Jinan Airport, flew back to Beiping by plane, and drove from Beiyuan Airport to the North China Front Headquarters in Tieshi Hutong in the city, and met General Terauchi Shouichi, and after the two conspired, they determined that the Eighth Route Army that captured Dezhou was not the 343 Brigade, but it was more ferocious and cunning than the 343 Brigade. Only then did he realize the importance and potential danger of the Luokou Bridge, and then ordered the existing First Brigade and Third Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army to rush to the aid of the Luokou Bridge.

That is to say, when the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army, which was transferred from Tianjin to Jinan because of the Battle of Xuzhou and was responsible for the defense of Jinan, received the order to reinforce Luokou, it was at least two hours after dark, that is, around 10 o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the fast maneuvering formation led by Xiao Siming had already set off for two hours.

The Japanese army is a force with a strong sense of war, and all units do not discount in the slightest when carrying out combat orders!

The current brigade commander of the mixed brigade of the North China Garrison Army is Major General Yamashita Fengfumi, and the commander of the second wing, Xuan Jiu, has long been promoted, and the current wing commander is also a big commander.

The captain of the second wing already knew that his second brigade was annihilated by the Eighth Route Army in the morning, and his angry eyes were blood-red, and he couldn't wait to catch the Eighth Route Army and eat it alive! After receiving the order to reinforce Luokou, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately carried out emergency mobilization, ordering the first brigade stationed in Jinan City to immediately dispatch and seize the position at the west end of the Luokou Bridge; Ordered the third brigade stationed in the outlying stronghold of Jinan, each squadron to leave a small team, ready to hand over the defense with the receiving troops from Tai'an, the main force immediately dispatched, followed by the first brigade, reinforcements to Luokou, deployed at the east end of the Luokou Bridge, ready to support the first brigade in the operation.

Devils at the level of wing commanders, as long as they don't die, are likely to be promoted to major generals, lieutenant generals, and even generals, and they are basically graduates of the Army University and have a certain amount of strategic thinking.

The commander of the Second Wing knew in his heart that under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to attack Jinan. However, if the Eighth Route Army wants to attack Jinan, it must have been planned a long time ago, with sufficient troops and sufficient ammunition, and it will definitely rush to the Luokou Bridge before the first brigade rushes to the Luokou Bridge and open the passage for the follow-up troops, just like the capture of Dezhou.

Once the Eighth Route Army seized the Luokou Bridge, the strength of this Eighth Route Army was a little too strong. In that case, the first and third brigades would have to quickly withdraw to Jinan City to hold on.

Jinan is the capital of Shandong Province, and there is no room for error!

Based on this consideration, after dispatching the First Brigade and the Third Brigade, the commander of the Second Infantry Wing of the North China Garrison Army telephoned the Third Independent Railway Brigade, which was responsible for garrisoning the east bank of Luokou and Luokou Town, and ordered that all the ferries and boats at the Yellow River should be controlled, and that not a single boat should be allowed to stay on the Yellow River. At the same time, they were ordered to enter the position and be ready to prevent a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army.

Not only that, the captain of the devil wing carried out an emergency mobilization in Jinan City, and drove all the puppet troops stationed in Jinan City into the position to strictly defend it.

It should be said that there is nothing wrong with the handling measures taken by the commander of the second wing of the mixed brigade of the North China garrison army. Now it's up to the Japanese reinforcements and the Eighth Route Army to arrive at Luokou first!

The Jade Lion Horse is a BMW that travels thousands of miles in a day, and this one gallop left the cavalry battalion that was originally following far behind.

Liu Zhaoming, the commander of the cavalry battalion, saw that the commander was gone, and in a hurry, he drew out his horsewhip, and according to the buttocks of his beloved mount, it was a whip, and the horse screamed, and its four hooves soared into the air, and it flew forward like an arrow.

Liu Zhaoming is like this, the cavalry battalion instructor Ma Ming, and the deputy battalion commander Wu Peng are all like this, fast horses whipping, the sound of horses' hooves, stepping on the moonlight, galloping forward.

After running for 20 kilometers, Xiao Siming in front of him reined in the war horse, and waited for the cavalry battalion to come up and rest for a while, so that the war horse could raise its horsepower.

At this time, the roads were all dirt roads, and tanks, armored vehicles, and cars were driving at full speed, and the speed was more than 30 kilometers per hour, which was about the same speed as the cavalry galloping at full strength on the Great Plains.

After only a 5-minute break, Liu Zhaoming came up to Xiao Siming and whispered: "Commander, according to the establishment of the Japanese army, each division has a cavalry wing. I don't know which division the Japanese army will send over this time, you must be careful when the time comes, we have to kill another cavalry wing of the devil, then we can expand another cavalry battalion! ”

This Liu Zhaoming is looking at the comrades-in-arms who fought together as the regiment commander, his eyes are red and anxious, and he also wants to get a regiment commander!

Xiao Siming glanced at Liu Zhaoming, and saw that Liu Zhaoming's face was covered with dust, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, so he said, "Let's seize the Luokou Bridge first!" ”

Liu Zhaoming turned his head to look at the team that was resting, and then said to Xiao Siming: "Commander, a war horse is not as good as a four-wheeled car." We are already at the limit speed, run like this, the distance is short, it is better to say, if it is farther, it must exhaust the war horse to death! ”

Xiao Siming's face was blank, and he said in a cold voice: "I only need Luokou Bridge, no matter if your war horse will be tired to death!" ”

Liu Zhaoming didn't say anything anymore, turned his head and shouted: "5 minutes is up, assemble, get on the horse, and get ready to go!" ”

After a while, all the cavalry battalions were mounted on horseback and lined up.

The horsewhip in Liu Zhaoming's hand pointed forward and shouted, "Forward!" ”

After roaring, Liu Zhaoming clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and took the lead in riding the horse, first walking slowly, then jogging with broken steps, feeling that the state of the war horse was adjusted, and then he began to gallop wildly!

Xiao Siming did not advance with the cavalry battalion, but waited for the armored battalion and convoy behind to come up, and when he saw that everything was normal, he returned to his horse and chased after the cavalry battalion.

The night jade lion horse is indeed fast and enduring, and after running for more than twenty minutes, it caught up with the cavalry battalion and flashed past the side of the cavalry battalion.

Wu Peng, deputy commander of the cavalry battalion and commander of the third cavalry company, saw Xiao Siming's majestic posture when he galloped on his horse, and suddenly the scene when he saw off Mei Ying in Shiguai Town appeared in his mind, and instantly there was a scene when he went to blow up the Ziya River Bridge, Xiao Siming was galloping with Yan Rou in his arms, and he thought that the commander was so young and capable, and only a beautiful girl like Mei Ying and Yan Rou could match him!

Thinking about it, Wu Peng's thoughts ran out, and he was worried about Xiao Siming, thinking that Mei Ying and Yan Rou were both beautiful beauties with national beauty and fragrance, regardless of Xuan, which one should the commander choose? Which one will he pick?

Wu Peng thought that when he was in Shiguai Town, everyone knew that Mei Ying was Xiao Siming's lover, but when he arrived at Jilubian, others knew it or not, but he knew very well that Yan Rou was in love with Xiao Siming. That girl, when Hel Xiao Siming was riding together, she sat behind her and hugged Xiao Siming's waist tightly, and her body was tightly attached to Xiao Siming's back. Sitting in front, she snuggled in Xiao Siming's arms, her eyes were watery, anyone who saw it knew that Yan Rou was emotionally attached to Xiao Siming, waiting for Xiao Siming to caress her!

Fortunately, Xiao Siming should love Mei Ying in his heart and ignore Yan Rou's love, otherwise, I'm afraid Yan Rou will be happy at this time!

After thinking for a while, Wu Peng suddenly smiled dumbly, and as soon as he grinned, the dust raised by the war horse drifted into his mouth, choking him involuntarily coughing.

After coughing, Wu Peng scolded hatefully in his heart: "Don't worry about eating Luo Bu!" ”

scolded in his heart, but the horsewhip in his hand whipped at the buttocks of the war horse, shouted "drive", and galloped on the horse!

In this way, the cavalry battalion rested for a while every 20 kilometers and drove all the way, and when they arrived near Luokou, it was almost half past ten in the night.

Tanks, armored vehicles, and cars all turned on their headlights, and the cavalry moved in groups, and the earth trembled when they ran, and the little devils guarding the Luokou Bridge discovered it early.

When there were still almost 2 miles away from the west end of the Luokou Bridge, Xiao Siming jumped off the war horse, and the cavalry battalion that arrived later also jumped off the war horse under Liu Zhaoming's command.

Each cavalry squadron of the 20th Cavalry Wing of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army had a machine gun squad with two heavy cavalry guns. When the cavalry company was small, it was only equipped with two heavy machine guns, and the remaining four heavy machine guns were all kept in the baggage team. Now the cavalry company has been expanded into a cavalry battalion, and the four cavalry with heavy machine guns are all equipped with troops.

Xiao Siming didn't lead the cavalry battalion to roar towards the Japanese bridgehead, it was to serve as a target for the Japanese troops guarding the bridgehead!

As soon as the cavalry got off the horse, Xiao Siming ordered the troops to deploy, detour from both flanks, and outflank the Japanese bridgehead.

The armored battalion with its headlights on and its motors roaring, twelve tanks and eight armored vehicles galloped along the highway in a formation, and when they arrived at Xiao Siming's side, the armored battalion commander Yuan Gang came out of the turret and saluted Xiao Siming.

The horsewhip in Xiao Siming's hand pointed at the devil's position at the west end of the Luokou Bridge, and shouted loudly: "Rush up and crush it!" (To be continued.) )
