After all, Nobuo Tanaka was the commander of the Japanese army and the commander of the attack on the west bank of the Wei River, so he could not always be paralyzed like mud. He couldn't die in shame if he wanted to, and the Japanese puppet army who was lucky enough to land alive was still waiting for him to give an order!

Nobuo Tanaka was still pulled up by the soldiers, sorted out the team, counted the number of people, and the total number of Japanese troops who were lucky enough to go ashore gathered together only 500 people, more than 1,500 puppet soldiers, and there were no even door grenadiers, and they became standard light infantry.

The Weihe River is now rolling in torrents, there are no boats, no pontoon bridges, and you can't retreat back to the west bank of the Weihe River. Nobuo Tanaka had to choke back tears and report to the division commander, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo, that the main force of the wing and the main force of the subordinate command unit were released by the Eighth Route Army and rushed downstream, and all the landing troops were concentrated, only 1,600 people, including 500 in the imperial army and 1,500 in Ludong and Hejian. Moreover, it is possible to fall into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army at any time. His Excellency the Division Commander is requested to give urgent tactical guidance.

After receiving a telegram from Nobuo Tanaka, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo, commander of the 32nd Division, was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out, and he kept roaring and cursing in his office, scolding Liu Yimin for being cunning and despicable, and even such an ancient tactic as flooding the Seventh Army could be displayed. Amaterasu, hurry up and summon Liu Yimin!

After scolding Liu Yimin, Lieutenant General Ide Tiezang cursed Han Shouchen, who revolted on the battlefield, and scolded him for being a coward, a shameful traitor, and Judas, who ran so fast, why didn't he drown all his independent 10 regiments?

Then, Lieutenant General Inide Tetsuzo scolded Nobuo Tanaka again, an idiot, a fool, a pig's head, who has no military common sense at all, just knowing how to bury his head in pursuit, he doesn't know how to send troops to search and reconnoiter upstream, how can the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the Army University cultivate such an incompetent fool!

The chief of staff, Hiromichi Osa Dangyama, and the commander of the 32nd Infantry Regiment, Major General Shunzaburo McKura, almost at the same time, reminded Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo that Nobuo Tanaka was still waiting for a callback!

Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo stopped cursing, thought about the map for a while, turned around and said, "Chief of Staff, it seems that the 212th Wing is in danger. Where are they now? ”

Chief of Staff Dangshan Hongdao Dazuo reported that he had attacked the front line of Chaigou and Jinggou and was in a state of fierce exchange of fire with the Eighth Route Army.

Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo immediately ordered Hiromichi Osa to call back Nobuo Tanaka, ordering him to immediately advance in the direction of Jinggou, join forces with the commander of the 1st Brigade of the 212th Wing, Nagata Toshie Shaosa, to take Jinggou and attack Shimigou from west to east; The commander of the 32nd Infantry Regiment, Major General Shunzaburo Maikura, was ordered to immediately transfer two infantry brigades from the 210th Wing in the east and two brigades from the divisional supplementary team, rush to Gaomi by train, and unify the command of the remnants of the 211th Wing and the 212th Wing and the units of the Ludong Pingjian ** First Brigade in the Gaomi area.

Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo told Major General Shunzaburo Maikura that after arriving at Gaomi, the first task was to break through the Eighth Route Army on the front line of Chaigou and Jinggou. He would report to the headquarters of the 12th Army and the headquarters of the North China Front, requesting that the 1st Chariot Division in Gaomi be urgently dispatched to assault the Eighth Route Army in Chaigou under the cover of aviation, so as to completely exterminate this group of bold and reckless guys. At the same time, it will also report to the Front Command and request the elite 7th Division to reinforce the Gaomi battlefield. By tonight at the latest, the vanguard of the 7th Division will be able to rush to the battlefield and join the battle.

With the cover of aviation and the 1st Chariot Division, Major General Shunzaburo Maikura, commander of the 32nd Infantry Regiment, felt that there was no problem with the Eighth Route Army that had broken through Chaigou and Jinggou, and after saluting Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo, he went to mobilize troops and arrange trains and automobiles.

Lieutenant General Iide Tiezang could no longer care about the face of the heavy military superintendent, and directly called Lieutenant General Tuqiao Yi, the commander of the 12th Army, to report that the main force of the 211th Wing and the Ludong Hepingjian ** Hu Dingsan Special Service Regiment and the Hu Dianying Independent First Regiment, the main forces of the Shan Xunchen Independent Third Regiment, Wang Zichun Independent Eighth Regiment, and Su Jingyu Pistol Second Brigade were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army by flooding, and the Han Shouchen Department of the Ludong and Pingjian ** Independent Tenth Regiment was rebelled by the Eighth Route Army and escaped from the battlefield.

After the report, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo reported on his own disposition measures, pleaded with Commander Tsuchihashi for urgent tactical guidance, and ordered the aviation to provide uninterrupted air fire cover for the remnants of the 211th Wing to ensure that the remnants of the 211th Wing could converge with the 212th Wing's troops in Jingou; Commander Tuqiao is requested to order the 1st Chariot Division to urgently dispatch to reinforce the Chaigou line and defeat the Eighth Route Army on the Chaigou line.

In order to ensure that nothing was wrong, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo pleaded with Commander Tsuchihashi to order the 7th Division, which was deployed between Jiaoxian and Qingdao, to rush to the Gaomi area, and be ready to fight at any time to support the Tank Division and the 212th Wing.

Lieutenant General Tsuchihashi was taken aback, and immediately agreed to Lieutenant General Iide's request, and immediately ordered the aviation to urgently dispatch to cover the remnants of the 211th Wing and the 212th Wing to flank Shibagou. As for the Chariot Division and the Seventh Division, they were the troops of the Kwantung Army, and the command of the battlefield belonged to the North China Front Command.

The commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, is much more cunning than the two guys Ichihashi Ichigo and Iide Tetsuzo!

After ordering the Japanese army to counterattack on all fronts on the morning of 17 September, Tada Jun, commander of the North China Front, Yoshisuke Yoshisumi, chief of staff, and Hirata, deputy chief of staff, never left the war room, kept their eyes firmly on the combat map, observed the situation of the enemy and us, and commanded all units to counterattack.

From morning to noon, the Japanese troops were attacking fiercely and progressing smoothly, and with more efforts, it was very likely that they would be able to recapture the defensive positions taken by the Eighth Route Army last night before dark.

Tada Jun had no intention of fighting the Shandong Eighth Route Army at this time, and he wanted to concentrate his efforts on solving the problem of the Shanxi battlefield, eliminate or drive back to the mountainous areas the Eighth Route Army that wantonly destroyed the Pinghan Road, Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road, and the highway, so as to stabilize the public order situation in Shanxi. Therefore, against the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, as long as they repelled their attack and besieged them in the south-central region of Shandong, they only had to free up their hands to concentrate on eliminating Liu Yimin's troops after cleaning up the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

The reason why Tada Jun did not order the three tank divisions to cooperate with the troops to counterattack was not because he was worried about the fuel, but because he was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would concentrate the main force to make a breakthrough in a certain aspect, so that the powerful assault force of the tank division could be used to push the Eighth Route Army back, so that Liu Yimin would lose his troops and lose his generals, work in vain, and sigh at the chariot group!

After receiving a call from the commander of the 12th Army, Tsuchihashi Ichi, Tada Jun pondered for a while, and said to Lieutenant General Yoshisumi Ryosuke, chief of staff, and Major General Hirata, deputy chief of staff: "Yoshizumi-kun, Hirata Jun, will Liu Yimin make a fuss in the direction of Jiaoji Road?" ”

The Japanese army is one of the best armies in the world at sneak attacks and intrigues, and both Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Masaju are very good at intrigues and tricks. It's just that they met Liu Yimin, who is full of tricks, and he is not an opponent.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke thought for a long time, and said very cautiously: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Liu Yimin's battle cannot be inferred from conventional times, and it is difficult to say whether Jiaoji Road will be the focus of the attack for the time being. However, in last night's battle, the Eighth Route Army only captured Guanzhuang, Jingzhi and Gaomi Jinggou and Chaigou in Anqiu in the direction of Jiaoji Road. According to the battle reports submitted by the 211th and 212th Wings of the 32nd Division, from this morning to now, under the cover of the powerful firepower of the Imperial Japanese Army's air group, the progress of the two wings has also been smooth. It's just that the 211 Wing fell for the trick of the Eighth Route and was wiped out by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. This matter should be a trap set in advance by the Eighth Route Army, and it was Liu Yimin who came up with this vicious trick after considering that he could not resist the air superiority of the imperial army during the day, and that the main force was bitten by the imperial army. This Liu Yimin is so ruthless! ”

After listening for a long time, Hirata couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, what do you want to explain?" ”

Tada Jun also looked at Yoshizumi Ryosuke with an inquiring gaze.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke's old face turned red all of a sudden, as if a child had been caught stealing and playing tricks, and he whispered again after a long time: "I thought that the main force of the 212 Wing could not be allowed to repeat the mistakes of the 211 Wing. ”

Tada Jun and Hirada Masashi said "oh" at the same time.

After pondering for a while, Hirata began to show off: "Your Excellency Commander and Chief of Staff: I think our original analysis and judgment are not wrong, Liu Yimin's ammunition supply cycle is relatively long, and he had to launch an offensive operation this time in order to respond to the operation of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, which is a last resort. Otherwise, he should have used artillery and anti-aircraft fire today. Judging from the reports of the air force and the reports of various divisions and regiments, the bombing effect of the air force today is very good, and Liu Yimin's unit relied on its positions to hold on, and although it also adopted the usual smoke cover means in the past, they were all passive defensive means and were not a cause for trouble. It is equivalent to the imperial army pressing the Eighth Route Army, and the initiative on the battlefield is in the hands of the imperial army. The only exception appeared in the direction of attack of the 32nd Division on the Anqiu and Gaomi lines. The situation here was special, the Eighth Route Army used the interception of the Wei River to induce the 211th Wing to cross the river on foot, and staged the ancient flood tactics. However, after the flooding, the Eighth Route Army was not able to take advantage of the situation to eliminate the remnants of the 211th Wing, giving Tanaka Nobuo the opportunity to report the situation on the radio, and also giving us the opportunity to use aviation to cover the remnants of the 211th Wing to join the 212th Wing. I suspect that this is not the Eighth Route Army's mercy, but their powerlessness in the face of the imperial army's air superiority. To paraphrase the old saying, you can't do it, you can't do it! This also once again corroborates Liu Yimin's judgment that the current artillery shell savings are insufficient. In this case, I propose to meet the requirements of the Twelfth Army, dispatch the 1st and 7th Chariot Divisions, destroy the Eighth Route Army on the first line of Chaigou, and push the imperial army's defense line to the front line of Zhucheng again! ”

Yoshizumi Ryosuke looked at Hirata's high-spirited demeanor when he spoke, and suddenly felt a kind of contempt and disgust in his heart, and also said loudly: "Hirata-kun, no matter what, the 212th Wing is now a lone force. I dare to conclude that as soon as the sun sets and there is no fire support from the air force, the Eighth Route Army will pounce on it like a hungry wolf, surround the remnants of the 212th Wing and the 211th Wing, and the remnants of Ludong and Pingjian, and eat them bite by bite. Don't look at the Eighth Route Army's failure to use artillery groups, just with their cunning and bravery, they will also tear the 212 Wing to pieces. Don't you think about that? ”

Hirata Masashi was about to refute again, but Tada stopped him.

Tada Jun didn't want to listen to the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff raise the bar, the front line was urgent, and he couldn't afford to hesitate!

Tada Jun ordered Yoshizumi Ryosuke to send a telegram back to the commander of the Twelfth Army, Lieutenant General Tsuchihashi Ichi, and ordered the 212th Wing and the 211th Wing to join forces and press the Eighth Route Army on the Chaigou line in an offensive posture, waiting for reinforcements, and at the same time making preparations for retreat. Before dark, the two wings must withdraw from the battlefield and hold their positions along the railway. Yoshizumi Ryosuke was ordered to notify the 1st Chariot Division to make an urgent dispatch as quickly as possible to assault the front line of Chaigou, and after breaking through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, not to pursue in depth, and to cover the remnants of the 211th Wing and the 212th Wing to return to the railway defensive position. As for the 7th Division, Tada Jun ordered an urgent mobilization, stood by on the spot, and prepared to reinforce the Gaomi battlefield.

Tada Jun believed in the powerful assault power of the 1st Tank Division, and thought that as long as the 1st Tank Division broke through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in Chaigou and did not pursue in depth, there would be no danger. He concentrated the strengths of Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Masatsu's opinions, and used the attack to cover the retreat of the troops, which was tantamount to announcing the end of the counterattack operation on the Jiaoji Road defense line.

No matter how cunning Tada was, he still ordered the 1st Chariot Division to be dispatched.

The 1st Tank Division of the Japanese Army has a total strength of more than 10,000 troops, including the division headquarters, the 1st, 3rd, and 5th tank wings, the 1st motorized infantry wing, the 1st mobile artillery wing, the search team, the air defense team, the engineer team, the reserve team, the rapid-fire artillery team, and the baggage team. It is equipped with 100 light tanks, 335 medium tanks, 1,272 vehicles, 24 howitzers, 12 anti-aircraft guns, 12 field guns, 12 rapid-fire guns, 6 flat-fire guns, 18 heavy machine guns, 144 light machine guns, and 2,900 rifles. Division Commander Lieutenant General Toshimoto Hoshino.

Each tank wing of the 1st Tank Division has 1,070 people, and there are 3 squadrons of medium tanks, 1 squadron of light tanks, 1 squadron of artillery tanks (self-propelled artillery), and one maintenance squadron.

The first wing of the motorized infantry wing has about 3,030 people and has three brigades, each of which has three infantry squadrons, one heavy machine gun squadron, and one mountain artillery squadron.

The first wing of the mobile artillery has about 1,500 people, including one field artillery brigade, equipped with 12 Type 90 75mm field guns, and two brigades of 105 howitzers, each equipped with 12 Type 91 100mm howitzers.

The search team consisted of about 700 people, consisting of 3 squadrons of light tanks, 1 squadron of infantry, and 1 squadron of self-propelled guns.

The rapid-fire artillery team consisted of 340 people, organized into 3 squadrons, and was equipped with 47mm anti-tank guns, that is, battle defense guns.

The air defense team is 1010 people, under which there are two anti-aircraft artillery squadrons and four anti-aircraft machine gun squadrons.

The engineer corps is 1,150 people with 3 squadrons.

780 people in the rearmament, 3 squadrons.

The baggage team is 770 people, 4 squadrons.

After receiving the order to attack the front line of Chaigou, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto, commander of the 1st Tank Division, immediately ordered all troops to urgently mobilize and set off an hour later to kill on the front line of Chaigou.

Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto's order to his subordinate units was concise and forceful: "Rush to Chaigou, destroy the Eighth Route Army that dares to resist stubbornly, and cover the retreat of the 32nd Division!" The flag of the 1st Chariot Division was stained red with the blood of the Eighth Route Army! ”

The 1st Tank Division of the Japanese Army was finally dispatched.

After Liu Yimin, who was far away on Xiangzhou Street, received a report from Luo Yan, who was investigating and monitoring the movements of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army's chariots, he finally stood up from the map and said to Luo Ronghuan lightly: "Let him be like a ghost, and he has to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water!" ”

Luo Ronghuan frowned and said: "We have paid a lot of sacrifices, the casualties of the 1st Column 3rd Brigade and the 4th Column and 12th Brigade who are responsible for blocking and luring the enemy are not small, if the 1st Division of the Japanese Tank is not dispatched, we will not be able to explain to the Central Committee, the headquarters and the soldiers!" ”

Liu Yimin stretched out his hand and picked up the telephone on the table, wanted to call the air defense brigade commander Han Qianjian, and said into the microphone: "Comrade Han Qianjian, the dishes are ready, and the banquet will start soon." Before the banquet, it depends on whether you can greet the Japanese machine well and not let them make trouble! ”

Han Qianjian, the commander of the air defense brigade, shouted loudly on the phone: "Report to the commander, the soldiers are already screaming, just waiting for the order of the commander and political commissar!" ”

Liu Yimin said: "Okay! Order the troops, get ready for battle! You have to fire before the artillery column artillery group, take out the Japanese planes, so that the artillery group can concentrate on destroying the main force of the 1st Division of the Japanese tank! Remember, stay calm, you are not allowed to expose your hidden positions without an order, you are not allowed to open fire! ”

Han Qianjin saluted "snapped" on the other end of the phone: "Please rest assured, commander, political commissar, the air defense brigade will ensure that the mission will be completed!" ”

Putting down Han Qianqian's phone, Liu Yimin again called the commander of the artillery column, Li Chang, and ordered him to concentrate his firepower and destroy it in one fell swoop when the main force of the 1st Japanese Tank Division was gathered in front of our army's anti-tank position in Chaigou.

Liu Yimin told Li Chang on the phone: "Lao Tzu doesn't have so much gasoline and diesel, and he can't afford to raise so many tanks, armored vehicles, and cars, don't feel sorry for those iron lumps, beat them hard, and beat them all into scrap iron!" ”

Li Chang said "okay" on the phone, and then said that he was afraid that he would break the tank, armored car, and car, and the commander was distressed. Now that the commander has spoken, the artillery column resolutely completes the task!

Luo Ronghuan listened anxiously on the side, snatched the phone, and said to Liu Yimin with a black face: "Why are you talking nonsense?" Then valuable tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles must be captured if they can be captured, and we will also form armored brigades! ”

Liu Yimin sighed and said, "Political commissar, you can't hesitate. It was a tank division, with more than 400 tanks alone. If we have the heart to capture and fight timidly, once they break through the position, we will have to run away with our tails between our legs. Don't worry, there are many opportunities to capture tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles, but you have to find a way, you can't want to capture them when the Japanese tank division group attacks, then you have to suffer a big loss! ”

Luo Ronghuan sighed regretfully!
