The Japanese army's secrecy measures were extremely strict, and it was impossible for Liu Yimin to know the specific battle plan of the Japanese army. However, the ground in Shandong has been recovered by the Eighth Route Army, and even Jinan has been recovered, and there are vigilant eyes everywhere watching every move of the Japanese army. The intelligence secretly transferred by the Japanese army flew to the headquarters of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army in Dadian one after another, and Liu Yimin immediately understood that the old devil Tada Jun thought of it with himself, and he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the traditional festival Spring Festival to launch a surprise attack, disrupt the rhythm of our army's rest, replenishment, and restoration of the base area, and cover his plan to repair the railway and implement the cage policy.

There is also a problem, that is, the Japanese army has been frequently mobilized in western and northwestern Luxi, and it is obvious that there are other plans. Could it be that Lu Xi's Liu Jianjian's department moved too quickly to restore the base area, which aroused the vigilance of the little devils? Does the little devil want to blitz Luxi or Jilubian?

A telegram was sent from the headquarters of the Shandong Military Region in Dadian to all directions. The reconnaissance battalions and reconnaissance companies of the brigades of the Shandong Military Region were all scattered to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese troops.

On the night of the 32nd day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, on the eve of the Japanese army preparing to launch a large-scale attack, the Eighth Route Army, which had rested and replenished in central and southern Lu, suddenly launched an offensive operation codenamed "Thunder Wanjun."

This time, Liu Yimin dispatched all the forces in the central and southern parts of Shandong, including the militia units of various counties and districts, to be urgently organized to assist the main force in the battle. The entire unit was organized into three combat groups: the northern group was commanded by Lei Ming, commander of the Fourth Brigade, and concentrated the Fourth Brigade, the New Fourth Brigade, the Luzhong Garrison Brigade, the Logistics Detachment, the Military Region Guard Regiment, the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Senate Guard Regiment, and the Luzhong Local Armed Forces, and was equipped with the Mountain Artillery Regiment, the Fourth Brigade Artillery Regiment, the Cavalry Brigade Artillery Regiment, the First Air Defense Regiment, and the First Flying Thunder Artillery Regiment commanded by Wang Shanzhu, the political commissar of the artillery brigade. The South Group was commanded by Hong Chaoyuan, commander of the Fifth Brigade. Concentrate on teaching the Fifth Brigade, the New Fifth Brigade, the Southeastern Lunan Detachment, the Lunan Garrison Brigade, and the local armed forces in the southeastern and southern Lunan areas. Equipped with the 2nd Field Artillery Regiment, the Medium Mortar Regiment, the 5th Brigade Artillery Regiment, the 2nd Air Defense Regiment, and the 2nd Flying Thunder Artillery Battalion under the command of Ding Zhuodong, deputy political commissar of the artillery brigade, the troops of the Suzhou-Anhui border region served as the assistants, attacking the Longhai Road from north to south; The West Group is commanded by Gao Yuan, commander of the 1st Jiao Brigade, and concentrates on the 1st Brigade, the 1st New Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, the Tai'an Detachment, and the local armed forces in the Taiyi Central Base Area, and is equipped with the 1st Field Artillery Regiment, the 1st Jiao Brigade Artillery Regiment, the Cavalry Brigade Artillery Regiment, the 3rd Air Defense Regiment, the 3rd Flying Thunder Artillery Regiment, and the Heavy Artillery Battalion of the Artillery Brigade under the command of Li Chang, commander of the Artillery Brigade.

Liu Jianjian's group in Luxi, Zhang Hongtao in Jilubian, and Fu Zhuting's group also received Liu Yimin's urgent order and immediately launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army. Disrupted the rhythm of the Japanese offensive.

In order to strengthen the firepower of the attack groups, Liu Yimin deliberately used all the rocket artillery produced by the logistics command, and one attack group had three 12-barrel rocket launchers.

Of those who stayed in the big store to take on the duty of guarding, there was only one company of guards.

Liu Yimin made it clear in his telegram that the purpose of this offensive operation was to preemptively disrupt the rhythm of the Japanese army's offensive and sabotage the railway, and the attack time was limited to one night. All units tightly sealed the news in advance and engaged the enemy in concealment. The artillery opened the way, attacked quickly, and immediately retreated after breaking the railway. Set up an ambush circle to prevent the little devil from chasing after him.

When a large army is mobilized in the base area, it can move calmly in advance without worrying about it. By the time Liu Yimin ordered the attack on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, all the troops had already moved in place, just waiting to launch an earth-shattering blow!

At this time. The Japanese troops were basically in place, and they had entered the starting positions for the attack, preparing to rest for the night, and launch an attack after dinner early tomorrow morning.

The little devils never dreamed that just when they thought they had a plan and were preparing to raid the base of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army attacked in advance.

The Western Group of the Eighth Route Army, commanded by Gao Yuan, set the point of attack between Tai'an and Yanzhou. Thereinto. Zhang Haitao commanded the Tai'an detachment and Wang Jian'an's Taixi Garrison Brigade to carry out a feint attack between the Dawenkou of Tai'an, and Gao Yuan personally led the 1st Brigade, the New 1st Brigade, and the Cavalry Brigade to attack between the kiln and Yanzhou under the cover of the artillery group, intending to destroy the direction of the Japanese army in one fell swoop, tear the opening, and completely destroy the railway between the kiln and Yanzhou that the Japanese army had just repaired.

After the Japanese army reoccupied southern Lunan, Surabaya became a guerrilla zone, Qufu was occupied by the Japanese army, and the little devils were repairing strongholds and building fortifications in Qufu, posing as a posture of a protracted siege of the mountainous areas of central and southern Shandong.

Garrisoned in this area was the 27th Division of the Japanese Army. At this time, the 27th Division was ready to raid Fei County, and was reinforced by the 2nd Guards Division and the 12th Division. The three divisions sharpened their knives and prepared to launch a large-scale attack on Fei County under the cover of aircraft early tomorrow morning.

Gao Yuan led the most mobile unit of the Eighth Route Army, and the artillery brigade commander who was responsible for providing artillery support was a master who rubbed his hands in a hurry when he couldn't hear the sound of the cannon.

It is said to be a thunderous assault operation, but it is by no means a thunderous assault operation, but it is by no means a salvo of artillery as soon as it comes up, so that when the Japanese artillery counterattacks, it may severely damage the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army. This is common sense, and no one who has been through a hundred battles, Cheng Cuilin, Hu Laohu, and Li Chang will be so stupid.

The battle began in the Zhegou district northwest of Surabaya.

Zhegou originally belonged to the third and fourth districts of Surabaya, and now it is renamed Zhegou District, which is named Zhegou because there are many Zhegou trees on both sides of the river near the village. It is rich in Lu Zhecheng mud inkstone fired with clay, which is very famous. During the Guangxu period, the vermilion lantern of the uprising and the regiment was a native of Songjiahe in Zhegou District. Six miles north of Zhegou is the highest peak Fengxian Mountain in Surabaya County, also called Fengxian Mountain and Phoenix Mountain. Legend has it that there is a horse running ridge where Mu Guiying tamed his troops and horses, the black wind outlet where Yang Zongbao broke through the mountain to seize the pass, the feng shui xué where King Yao was buried, and the remains of the hillside where King Shun ploughed. Many generations of village sages have practiced martial arts in this mountain, chanting feelings, leaving a large number of inscriptions and stone carvings.

During this time, Cao Yuguang, secretary of the Surabaya County Party Committee, led the Surabaya County Brigade to insist on Fengxian Mountain and deal with the Japanese army.

The Japanese army wanted to attack Fengxian Mountain several times and eliminate the county brigade led by Cao Yuguang, but the county brigade fought guerrilla warfare, and the Japanese army attacked several times and was empty. The Japanese army had no choice, so they set up a stronghold at the foot of the mountain and blockaded the county brigade.

At seven o'clock that night, the Surabaya County Brigade, which had seen the devil's army walking around, suddenly became bold, and actually went down the mountain and launched an attack on the devil's stronghold guarded by a squadron.

The leader of the devil squadron thought day and night that he wanted to eliminate the county brigade, and now that they had sent it to the door, the leader of the devil squadron was overjoyed, pulled out his command knife and ordered the troops to return fire.

In the past, as soon as his light and heavy machine guns were fired, and as soon as the grenadiers were fired, the county brigade slipped faster than rabbits, but tonight it was strange, the county brigade of the Eighth Route Army did not escape, and also extinguished the searchlight on the turret.

The leader of the devil squadron didn't want to fight out of the stronghold, because he had already received an order, early tomorrow morning, the imperial army will launch a surprise attack on the Fei County base of the Eighth Route Army, a whole three divisions, against the county brigade like the Eighth Route Army, isn't it like drinking water?

Tubalu was really annoying, and after fighting for a while, he took a foreign iron horn and began to shout, and he shouted in Japanese, and the content of the shouting was that the Gu Huò soldiers shot the commander to receive a bounty, what position was how much, and the shouting was clear.

The leader of the devil squadron couldn't help it, and if he let Tu Balu go down like this, maybe some war-weary guy would give him a shot in the back, and carry his round gurgling head to receive the reward. He has been observing for a while, and the gunshots are varied, including the 38 big covers, the old sleeves of the squadron, and the Lunan home-made rifles, which are definitely the county brigade hiding on Fengxian Mountain. These guys never confront the imperial army head-on, and always run away with a shot. If you don't attack decisively, it is estimated that Tubalu will slip away after shouting for a while.

The leader of the devil squadron thought for a while, and felt that the strength of one squadron was absolutely sure of destroying the county brigade, so he ordered two squads to hold the stronghold, and the two squads quietly dispatched to go around the back of the dirt eight roads to outflank and eliminate this hateful county brigade in one fell swoop.

The little devils of the two squads quietly left the stronghold under the cover of the night and made a detour to the two wings of the county brigade that were shooting and shouting.

The leader of the devil squadron watched the reaction of the Eighth Route Army position opposite in the night, and was ready to lead the two squads in the stronghold to kill when the two wings returned to their positions.

What the leader of the devil squadron did not expect was that the two outflanking squads were actually beaten back by the county brigade, the reason was very simple, the county brigade position suddenly remembered the dense machine gun sound, and the sound was a sè crutch and crooked machine gun shooting.

The leader of the devil squadron panicked, because the county brigade of the Eighth Route Army followed the retreating two squads towards the stronghold, and it seemed that they wanted to attack the stronghold.

It was only at this time that the leader of the devil squadron realized that he had made a mistake in judgment, and the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was not only the county brigade, but also the regular army.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the infantry artillery of the Eighth Route Army to open fire, and the shells drilled through the firing holes of the turret, and blew up half of the turret in one fell swoop.

The leader of the devil squadron didn't dare to slack off anymore, grabbed the phone and shouted Moximoxi, he asked for help.

Almost at the same time, the Japanese strongholds between the Chaiwen and Si rivers were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the commander of the 27th Division, Lieutenant General Masayan Honma, was alarmed.

Honma Masana was a horse in the Japanese army, and he was worse than Ma Jian because he liked men.

Honma Masa, who received the report, talked about military theories one by one, no, he immediately judged that the Eighth Route Army had launched a night attack, with the aim of uprooting the forward strongholds of the Imperial Army that threatened the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

This judgment cannot be said to be completely wrong, but Honma Masa's next disposition is outrageously wrong.

Dear book friends: Today's update is late, so bear with me. These days, the mountain people are sick and unwell.
