On the night of July 15, the guns and artillery of Jinan were fired, and the commander of the first column, Gao Yuan, and the political commissar Cheng Cuilin, commanded the armored and cavalry armored group of the Eighth Route Army and the first brigade to pounce on the main force of the Japanese garrison and the retreating team of the Japanese puppet organs retreating from Jinan to Luokou at the fastest speed, cutting the Japanese puppet army into several sections between Jinan and Luokou, splashing ammunition to their heart's content, and dividing the Japanese puppet army and eliminating the Japanese puppet army with a strong firepower advantage.

After all, it was night, and the actions of the Eighth Route Army were also covered by the actions of the Japanese puppet army, and some of the Japanese puppet troops in Jinan still escaped by boat from the Xiaoqing River. In particular, the troops of the Jinan garrison and the Eighth Group of the North China Pacification Army of the puppet army who were responsible for the river defense saw that the momentum was not right, and did not go to fight with the Eighth Route Army for control of the Luokou railway bridge, but directly escaped by boat across the Yellow River and joined up with the Japanese puppet army on the other side of the river.

Hu Laohu and political commissar Bao Wen commanded three cavalry regiments and directly subordinate troops, divided into three routes, left, center, and right, swept the Japanese puppet strongholds on the periphery of Jinan, and directly took Jinan. When Chen Cunyi, the commander of the Second Cavalry Regiment, led the Second Regiment into Jinan City, he found that Jinan City was brightly lit, and the streets were full of ordinary people welcoming the Eighth Route Army into the city.

The real battle took place at the airport, and the bones were the airport guards and the Jinan garrison that were fighting with Wang Dongqiang, and the infantry brigade that was responsible for guarding the road from Jinan to the airport. This group of devils, due to the destruction of the airport and the killing of Iida Sadagu and Kitago Yoshio, has become a vicious wolf bent on revenge, and will not retreat. After the cavalry group that caught up surrounded the little devils, because it was night, the cavalry charge with torches was tantamount to using the little devils as a target, so they had to honestly dismount and fight fiercely with the little devils. In the end, it was Hu Laohu and Bao Wen who led the 2nd Cavalry Regiment that attacked Jinan, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment in the north of Jinan, and the troops directly under them to arrive, concentrate their firepower, and with the cooperation of Wang Dongqiang's special operations team, they completely annihilated this group of devils. That's it, the little devil still caused a lot of casualties to the cavalry, and Hu Laohu was so distressed that he burst into tears.

By the time the engineer brigade in the rubber car arrived at the Luokou line, the first armored group, the first brigade and the cavalry brigade had already finished the battle, and the first formation of special operations with Wang Laohu and Li Buffalo retreated and chased Liu Yimin. () The rest of the tasks of chasing down the remnants of the enemy and interrogating and screening prisoners were entrusted to the Engineer Brigade, the Jinan Guerrilla Zone Troops, the two guard regiments brought by Cai Zhong, and the armed forces of the counties and districts around Jinan.

**Cai Zhong, member of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Bureau, director of the Political Department of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and acting mayor of Jinan, immediately issued a notice after entering the city, confiscating Japanese assets, relieving refugees, and maintaining the normal economic and social order of Jinan.

Early the next morning, Cai Zhong held a press conference at the Jinan Post Office to officially announce the news of our army's occupation of Jinan.

Overnight, the wind and clouds changed, and Jinan, the base camp of the Japanese army in Shandong, returned to the hands of our army, and the black, thin and capable Cai Zhong even showed a trace of joy in his tone.

Cai Zhong first reported the results of our army's recovery of Jinan, pointing out that the recovery of Jinan once again proved General Liu Yimin's thesis that Japan was a paper tiger, and proved that as long as we persist in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and apply correct strategies and tactics, our army will be able to continuously eliminate and strike at devils until we achieve a great victory in the War of Resistance against Japan. Today, our army can easily seize Jinan, frightening the Japanese puppet army to abandon the city and flee, one day, our army will be under the city of Beiping, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, frightened that the Japanese puppet army defending the city also fled in a hurry.

Cai Zhong's speech won a round of applause!

A reporter asked: Why did General Liu Yimin and Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan not attend today's press conference after the army recovered Jinan?

Cai Zhong said that the leaders of Liu and Luo were busy with military affairs and did not enter the city, but went to the front line of the river defense to inspect the troops.

Another reporter asked: The Japanese puppet army hurriedly withdrew from Jinan last night, and the Japanese puppet organs retreated with the army, I wonder if they captured Iida Zhenggu, commander of the 12th Army of the Japanese army, and Tang Yangdu, the puppet governor of Shandong?

Cai Zhong replied that since the headquarters of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army and its guards were the first to evacuate Jinan, so far, there have been no reports of the capture of Iida Sadagu and his entourage by various units of our army, and the headquarters of the 12th Army and its guards are nowhere to be found, and our army is conducting a search in the area around Jinan, hoping to catch Iida Sadagu. As for the puppet governor of Shandong Province, Tang Yangdu, he has been captured by our army. This Tang Yangdu, when he was captured, he was scared out of feces and urine, and he was covered with a foul smell. completely lost the image of the past when he wore a suit, wore a tie, and led the puppet army traitors to do evil, it was simply a coward! What awaits him will be a righteous judgment.

After the press conference, the news of the Eighth Route Bureau's capture of Jinan flew in all directions through the radio waves, and the people in the rear were boiling!

People in Xi'an, Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming, Guiyang, Liuzhou and other cities braved the danger of Japanese bombing and took to the streets to rally and march to celebrate the Eighth Route Army's reconquest of Jinan. , the teachers and students of Southwest Associated University even put up a huge slogan: Get out of the ivory tower and go to Shandong to participate in the Anti-Japanese War!

The commander of the Japanese North China Front, Tada Junyou, did not expect Iida Sadagu to be so unlucky and die on the transport plane that had not yet taken off, nor did he expect the Eighth Route Army to be so bold and dare to use a small elite team to occupy the Luokou Bridge and block the passage for the Japanese puppet army in Jinan to withdraw across the Yellow River!

Originally, Tada Jun thought that the Eighth Route Army was killing itself, and provided a good opportunity for him to gather and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army. With three tank divisions, the second division and the seventh division serving as assault corps, it is difficult for the Eighth Route Army not to die! However, due to the annihilation of the main force of the Japanese puppet army retreating from Jinan and the death of the retreating personnel of the Japanese puppet organs, and the capture of the prisoners, the losses were too great for Tada Jun to bear! In particular, the annihilation of the headquarters of the 12th Army at the airport made Tadajun's bare head hang even lower.

Liu Yimin didn't judge this right, that is, Tada Jun knew the news of the destruction of the 12th Army Headquarters and Zhangzhuang Airport at the first time. The reason was that the tower staff of the Japanese army at Zhangzhuang airfield made a report by radio to the command of the 3rd Flight Group!

The reason why Liu Yimin made a mistake in judgment was because Wang Dongqiang himself did not know that Iida Zhengu died at the airport, so naturally he would not report it to him. In fact, the Eighth Route Army only learned about this a few days later when it completed the clean-up of the airfield.

Since the Eighth Route Army did not publish the battle report on the killing of Iida Sadagu, after Tada Jun reported to the base camp and the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, put Iida Sadagu and Kitago Yoshio on the list of missing persons, and began to form a new 12th Army Headquarters. After the Eighth Route Army later announced the battle report on the killing of Iida Sadagu and the elimination of the headquarters of the 12th Army, the Japanese army once again refused to admit the account, saying that Lieutenant General Iida Sadagu and Major General Kitago Yoshio had already been transferred back to China and transferred to the reserve because of the unfavorable command of the war in Shandong. The current commander of the 12th Army, Lieutenant General Tsuchihashi Ichi, and Chief of Staff, Major General Kono Tsunejiro, led the army headquarters to successfully break through the siege from the Xiaoqing River by boat that night.

This annoyed the families of Iida Sadagu and Kitago Yoshio, and the jade was shattered and not even given a gift, and was also labeled by Tada Jun for ineffective command and combat, isn't this an extreme injustice to the warriors of the jade shatter?

The families of Iida Sadagu and Kitago Yoshio ran to the gate of the Imperial Palace, and the minister knelt down and begged His Majesty the Emperor to intervene and give justice to the warriors who died in battle. As a result, Iida Sadagu's family received a sum of money, and the powerful family Yoshio Kitago was posthumously awarded the rank of lieutenant general.

Of course, that's an afterthought!

Tada Jun was now under great pressure, and a telegram was sent almost every half an hour from the base camp, urging the North China Front to seize the fighter plane and gather and annihilate Liu Yimin's forces in the Jinan area. The commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Nishio Toshizo, sent a very harshly worded telegram, suggesting that Tada Jun was now in a loss of face in the international arena and that he and Tada were in danger of being removed from their posts if Jinan could not be quickly recovered. Because the symbolism of Jinan City is too great, in the eyes of the local people, losing Jinan means a big defeat on the battlefield in Shandong.

Liu Yimin's move of the black tiger was tantamount to a stab into the heart of Duotian Jun, and he was more eager than anyone to recover Jinan and gather and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong.

Tatianjun's current deployment is simple and practical, that is, to concentrate the three armies of the northern, southern, and eastern fronts, and will attack Jinan.

On the northern front, Tada Jun ordered the 40th Division, the 41st Division, the 37th Division, and the 11th Division, which was sweeping in southern Hebei, to concentrate on Dezhou, and then move south to Luokou, and after regaining control of the railway bridge, besiege the Jinan area from the north; On the southern front, the Japanese army left the 27th Division to hold the Jinpu Road defense line, and concentrated the 9th Division, the 2nd Guards Division, and the 12th Division to advance at the same time, and rushed to Jinan from south to north; On the eastern front, Tada Jun ordered the 32nd Division, the 36th Division, and the puppet army Li Wenli's Ludong and Pingjian** to hold on to the key points of Jiaoji Road, and ordered the 2nd Division, the 7th Division, and the three Chariot Divisions to quickly rush to Weicheng to assemble and attack the Eighth Route Army in the Jinan area from east to west.

In order to block the passage for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to retreat to the Taiyi Mountains, Tada Jun strictly ordered the 29th Division in central and southern Lu to act quickly, attack and advance from central and southern Lu to Jinan, control the passage to the Taiyi Mountains, and build fortifications relying on the mountain terrain to block the Eighth Route Army's withdrawal to the mountainous passage.

The 29th Division was the weakest of the Japanese troops, and it was the easiest target for the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, Tada Jun strictly ordered Lieutenant General Kinoshita, commander of the 3rd Flying Group, to effectively provide air cover for the 29th Division, and ordered the 16th Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Taean to send troops to control Mount Tai and contact and coordinate with the 29th Division.

If they don't gather their forces to copy the back of the main force of the Eighth Route Army to attack Jinan, it is also very likely to fall into the siege of the Eighth Route Army in central and southern Lu, and be eaten by a small bite and a small bite. Moreover, to the south and north, they will be blocked by the Eighth Route Army, so it is better to make a surprise move, so that they can march along the route of the Eighth Route Army to attack Jinan under the cover of aircraft, which is relatively much safer!

Because the newly appointed commander and chief of staff of the 12th Army had not yet arrived, Tada Jun ordered Chief of Staff Yoshisumi Ryosuke to establish an advance command post in Tokuyama to direct the troops on the northern front. Lieutenant General Kiichiro Higuchi, commander of the 9th Division, was ordered to command several divisions on the Southern Front in a unified manner; The new commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, was ordered to take unified command of the Japanese forces on the Eastern Front.

The order was given, and the Japanese troops also launched their actions with great vigour. However, the matter of fighting a war is not decided by one side, the Japanese army is distributed all over Shandong and is in the midst of a sweeping operation, not that the concentration can be concentrated quickly, nor that the march to Jinan can be so smoothly advanced, it depends on whether the Eighth Route Army cooperates or not.

No, the armored group in Jiaodong is in trouble. As soon as the Devil's armored heavy army group withdrew, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Kunyu Mountains came out, pursued and flanked the Japanese army, and kept harassing them. The most odious thing was that the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army all came out of the tunnels, leading the common people to dig trenches to block the advance of tanks overnight, disrupting communications, and making the armored group have to put up a road trench before marching. The 7th Division, which fought with the Panzer Group, simply became a sapper and opened the way for the Panzer Group. In this way, the march of the three chariot divisions, the second division, and the seventh division slowed down, and in the words of Tada Jun, it was like a turtle crawling!

This was the case with the Japanese army in Jiaodong, and the same was true with the Japanese army at the Jilu border. The Sixth Column of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared and attacked the Jinpu Road on the night of July 15, destroying dozens of kilometers of the railway in Cangxian County. In a panic, Tian Jun did not dare to slack off, so he ordered Sangmu Chongming's 110th Division to immediately stop sweeping along the Jilu border, return to defend the Jinpu Road, and defend the Pingjin area.

The second column of Lu Xi's Eighth Route Army chased the ass of the Japanese army that swept away Lu Xi's team in Dexian County, and Tian Jun was angry and just wanted to ignore Jinan for the time being and concentrate on completely eliminating Lu Xi's Eighth Route Army. Unfortunately, the headquarters of the Japanese army and the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army kept urging Tada Jun to immediately recapture Jinan. Tada Jun had to order Yoshizumi Ryosuke to speed up the concentration of Toku-gun while dividing his troops to counterattack the Luxi Eighth Route Army.

The concentration of Japanese troops in Lunan was also not fast. The Fifth Column of the Eighth Route Army, the troops of the Lunan Military Region, the local armed forces, and the militia took advantage of the mountainous area to constantly block, ambush, flank, and pursue, delaying the Japanese army. Angry, Higuchi Jiichiro screamed and sent reports to Tada Jun three times in a row, asking to take advantage of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Jinan to launch a large-scale sweep against Lunan once again and completely eliminate the Lunan Eighth Route Army.

This was originally a good way to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but unfortunately Jinan was lost, and there was no problem of saving Zhao, Tada Jun still strictly ordered Higuchi Jiichiro to strictly implement the order and quickly concentrate north.

For several days in a row, Tada Jun was mobilizing troops. When he felt that the deployment had stopped, and the armies were about to move in place, another bad news stunned him: the 29th Division was encircled by the Eighth Route Army!

Tada Jun muttered to himself: What a vicious Liu Yimin, he is engaging in serial killing!
