After the Japanese troops attacking Longkou were attacked head-on during the day, the entire Kyushu Division was heavily guarded at night. Because the Japanese soldiers who stayed up all night and had bloodshot eyes, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the dawn of dawn. It didn't take long for the Japanese positions to gain more and more popularity. The soldiers continued to begin the landing. As soon as a soldier exchanged words, the Japanese officers would immediately stop drinking. The Kyushu Division gave an order that the soldiers were never allowed to talk in private. It is not allowed to discuss yesterday's battles.

The high-pressure posture worked, and the troops with heavy losses were moved to a farther position after yesterday's fierce fighting, which amounted to solitary isolation. The soldiers carried out the arrangements of the troops in an orderly manner. Until a figure with a white flag appeared in the distance.

There are two meanings of playing white chess, either to surrender or to ask for negotiations, and in the current situation, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army can only come to negotiate. The Japanese army still has the most basic sense, and it is disgraceful to kill the other party's negotiators on the battlefield in any case. Therefore, the negotiators of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army were quite safe when they went to the Japanese positions under the white flag.

The content of the negotiations was very simple: the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army told the Japanese army that some Japanese soldiers had been captured in yesterday's battle, and that they could not treat these people because of their limited medical capacity. It is hoped that the Japanese army will send people to bring these Japanese wounded back to the Japanese army for treatment.

The Kyushu Division of the Japanese Army was very suspicious of this move, and the Japanese army had no habit of treating prisoners well at all. Not killing the other side's wounded on the spot is considered a very merciful act. The demand of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to hand over the wounded Japanese at this time was completely unexpected. However, the Japanese army at this time did not degenerate to the moral level of World War II. The two sides still discussed the process of returning the wounded. In the morning, the two sides did not start a war for the time being, and the non-armed forces of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army sent the Japanese wounded to a designated open field, and the Japanese side went to receive the wounded. Then both armies retreated at the same time.

With great caution, the Japanese sent unarmed troops to receive the wounded. In addition to the great psychological impact of the Japanese wounded, the process was far more peaceful than imagined. The Japanese wounded were treated with minimal bandaging, which also reduced the hostility of many Japanese soldiers. Both sides were non-armed forces, and after the handover, the units of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army quickly withdrew from the area.

It was not impossible for anyone among the staff officers of the Kyushu Division to raise whether or not to let the artillery attack these units of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and the division commander pondered for a moment, and it could be seen that he was also struggling in his heart. Yesterday's tragic battle caused the Kyushu Division, including the division commander, to accumulate great resentment. However, the military ethics of the commander of the Kyushu Division made him finally veto this suggestion. If yesterday the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army had abandoned these Japanese troops, or simply killed them all while cleaning up the battlefield. The division commander of the Kyushu Division also had no choice. What is lost on the battlefield is regained on the battlefield. The division commander still had such thoughts in his heart.

The next thing made the commander of the Kyushu Division feel a little regretful. He never expected that when he brought back three or four hundred wounded, he would definitely pass in front of the Japanese soldiers who had already begun to set up, and those wounded who were wrapped in bloody bandages would either limp away or simply lie on stretchers and be carried back. The impact on the morale of the troops has been extremely significant.

The entire army was given a stern ban on speech, but there were some things that were useless by banning alone. Not only soldiers, but also officers, all kinds of rumors began to go viral. The losses of the Japanese army were greatly magnified. Listening to the reports of his subordinates, the division commander of the Kyushu Division began to feel that if he did not have the "kindness of a woman" at that time, but ordered the artillery to violently attack the movement units of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, he thought that he could greatly boost his morale. He can explain it with a reason, "Even if they are killed, the Chinese on the other side do not dare to abuse Japanese prisoners of war." ”

Regret aside, the division commander of the Kyushu Division ordered the naval guns to fire along with the army artillery fire, and the infantry to prepare for battle. The coordinated artillery bombardment of the Navy and Army took the Japanese 44 hours. It was not until about four o'clock in the afternoon that the Japanese infantry began to attack. With yesterday's experience, the Japanese attacked with great caution. In the binoculars, the Japanese army cautiously advanced slowly on the mountainous terrain ravaged by artillery fire, and entered the positions where the Japanese army had paid a heavy price yesterday. By 7 p.m., the Japanese had finally made their way up the hill. From beginning to end, they did not encounter any enemies. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army completely disappeared.

Cheers rang out on the hilltops, and the fear of attacking the Japanese army had now turned into a complacent "sense of victory." One by one, they waved their flags desperately, or raised their rifles and shouted about the board. It was as if a great victory had been won. The commander of the Kyushu Division, who received the news, frowned slightly. It was good that the beachhead was secured, but the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army could not have evaporated from the world, and they must have gone somewhere else, preparing for a new battle. The division commander's eyes fell on the map, and the Japanese troops landing from Longkou planned to pass through Pingdu, Yexian and Jimo, and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army had proved yesterday that it was definitely not an army that did not dare to fight, and the Japanese army would encounter an attack from the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army at any time on this long road, and this may be the reason for the retreat of the People's Party.

As the commander of the Kyushu Division thought, the strategy of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was extremely concise, a war of movement, and the annihilation of the enemy in motion. Facing the Japanese army was the 4705th Division of the Shandong Military Region. The troops had been out of the battle line since last night and moved towards the area between Pingdu and Ye County. In the evening, the division headquarters held a meeting, "We have met many times, and this is the last time I emphasize the idea of the campaign. It is the living force that annihilates the enemy. No one will use weapons, even if the weapons are piled higher than the sky, this battle will not be fought. Moreover, we must not suffer losses in the war, and we must adopt the most effective tactics. Yesterday's battle proved that the Japanese army can still fight, and they are not the Beiyang Army. When we ran out of tactics and really fought hard with the Japanese army, the casualties were also one to two, and the Japanese suffered two casualties, so we suffered one casualty. Before the final showdown, we need to weaken them as much as possible. First transfer the Japanese troops out of the cover range of the naval guns, and then cut off the Japanese logistics line as much as possible. Small units continued to kill and weaken the strength of the Japanese army. Finally, the encirclement and annihilation war ......"

After the division commander finished speaking, the regiment commanders began to ask questions.

"Can you arrange the various disturbance battles in more detail this time?"

"The battle line has been stretched for twenty or thirty miles, can you explain it in more detail in terms of troop allocation."

The division commander listened for a while, waved his hand and asked everyone to stop first, "Comrades, none of us have fought against division-level units. The combined training of infantry squad and platoon tactics has also reached the battalion level. Everyone was taught by Chairman Chen at the military academy, so let me explain first, I listened carefully to the lectures, and I also answered the questions carefully during the exam. This time there was a real war, and I knew that I didn't understand what I had heard. This is the only way to know what Chairman Chen is talking about. ”

Such frank words of the division commander caused laughter from the comrades, and everyone felt basically the same. Because we are all soldiers, these truths are the ones we can understand best.

"It's not fast to sharpen your guns, don't expect us to suddenly understand these military skills. If you don't practice it, you will also be enlightened. At present, comrades, don't expect us to be able to play at a super level and fight any exquisite battles. Now take advantage of the last few days, combined with the latest battles, to determine the basic level of the troops, and what battles can be fought to a minimum extent. As for the summary, there is no need to talk about it at the moment, whatever battle you can fight, you can fight, and don't brag about harming others and yourself. ”

After listening to the words of the division commander, the regiment commanders felt very good. In the current round of cadre promotions of the People's Party, all those who like to brag and ignore things and cannot seek truth from facts have all been sent to military academies to study. These newly promoted cadres are all made out of hard work, and if a regiment commander says that his regiment can walk 60 miles a day, then it will definitely be able to walk 60 miles. No one dares to cheat and brag anymore.

Moreover, in yesterday's battle, the Japanese army's strong combat effectiveness was really unprecedented. The platoon commander and deputy platoon commander fired pistols during the battle, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader personally fought with bayonets, and the casualty rate between the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army and the Japanese army actually reached 3:5. If the Beiyang Army had collapsed completely, it would have collapsed completely. The casualty ratio will not exceed 1:4. To say something that cannot be done in the face of such an enemy is to harm others and oneself. Every cadre of the army knows this.

"Nothing else, let's break up." The division commander said.

The troops in Longkou began to arrange for the next stage of the battle, and the troops in Yangkou, Laoshan Mountain, Qingdao, had already completed this adjustment. The Laoshan Yangkou is deep and rapid, and the Japanese fleet can provide more effective support. The campaign countermeasures adopted by the troops responsible for the defense of Laoshan were exclusively guerrilla warfare carried out by the regular army. The guerrilla warfare methods of Chen Ke's time and space were used by well-equipped and well-trained regular troops, and they were particularly powerful.

The equipment system of the front-line troops of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army includes liberation shoes, rifles, light machine guns, mortars, grenades, and sapper shovels. Compared with the People's Liberation Army during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, it is not inferior. Commanders at the level of squad leader and deputy squad leader were uniformly equipped with compasses and pocket watches. Ordinary soldiers are armed with steel helmets and camouflage uniforms. Food consisted mainly of canned food and field rations. In the Laoshan area, it is possible to fight without logistics for more than a week. Each squad has a top marksman, and each platoon has a marksman and a sniper. This is the self-confidence of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army in its combat effectiveness. The Japanese Sendai Division was first ambushed by top marksmen and snipers.

The Sendai division was so strong in combat that it was defeated by more than 20 people in the blink of an eye, and the mortality rate reached 80%. The dead were all killed by a single shot. This demonstrative shooting greatly aroused the anger of the Japanese soldiers.

The battle to attack Qingdao was divided into simultaneous sea and land routes, with the Kyushu Division landing from Longkou and the Sendai Division landing from Yangkou, and then the two forces planned to meet at Liuting to cooperate with the Japanese fleet at sea to attack Qingdao in an all-out way. As soon as they landed ashore, they were taken by surprise, and the Sendai Division immediately sent a squadron of troops to eliminate the Chinese army on the opposite side.

I watched the Chinese soldiers in steel helmets and tattered clothes running as fast as rabbits in the mountains. The Japanese troops of this squadron were in hot pursuit. At the beginning, the Japanese army was still a little vigilant. After running for less than an hour, the tired and panting Japanese soldiers simply did not have the strength to think about so many things. The Chinese army in front of it looms, which coincides with the education of the Chinese army that the Sendai division received to know how to escape. Until the enemy of this squadron pursued into a valley, the Chinese troops in front of them actually disappeared.

The Japanese squadron leader did not have the stupidity to achieve any results, and the gloomy mountains gave him a very bad feeling. The Japanese squadron, with a little reorganization, began to retreat. Came to a three-way intersection. Suddenly, a dense barrage of bullets began to fire at the Japanese ranks. The Japanese squadron leader immediately directed the Japanese army to begin a counterattack. The squadron leader did not know about the inverted triangular machine-gun arrangement of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army.

The inverted triangle is a machine gun arrangement, with an accurate shooter at the top and light machine guns at the bottom two corners. Light machine guns strike and suppress large enemy forces with heavy firepower, while precision shooters shoot accurately to eliminate enemy fire points. This time-tested method of warfare in jungle and mountain warfare can take out a squad of troops with three people. The equipment of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army had not yet reached the level of World War II. So the triangular position consisted of half a squad, and two light machine guns were in charge of two people each. The apex arrangement is a two-person precision strike. Facing a squadron of the Japanese army, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army arranged a platoon on their retreat, and four inverted triangle positions were responsible for a frontal strike.

The soldiers of the Sendai Division were "extremely backbone". After a brief panic, the squadron leader realized that there were not many enemies on the opposite side. Generally speaking, in this case, the Japanese army will adopt the method of frontal containment and flank bypassing to attack. It is a pity that there are no such conditions for mountain warfare at all, and the four inverted triangular positions in the arrangement of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army completely blocked the passage with firepower. With each impact, he was either swept down by a machine gun or killed by a single shot. Since they did not carry heavy machine guns, the Japanese could only use rifles to fire at the Chinese army. In terms of firepower, it suffered a big loss.

The Japanese squadron leader cowered behind a rock, and the countless leaks of the Japanese army had been killed or wounded under the heavy fire of the Chinese army. The most psychological fear to the Japanese army was the machine guns, "da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da" three or long bursts of fire swept across the Japanese position, hitting stones flying indiscriminately, and the Japanese rifles returned fire one after another, but they were beaten by seven or eight machine guns and screamed again and again. What was even more deadly was the crisp sound of rifles on the Chinese army's side, and the Japanese troops who dared to face the fierce fire of the Chinese army and shoot with rifles did not last long, and they would lose their combat effectiveness after being shot. The squadron leader was also well-trained, but he just stood up and held on for a moment, and two bullets that grazed his body made the squadron leader retract behind the stone. The Chinese army had apparently spotted and targeted this firing point.

Hiding behind the rocks and thinking for a moment, the squadron leader remembered that the ambush site was no more than an hour away from the landing site, and as long as he could hold on for a few more moments, reinforcements would arrive. However, before reinforcements could come, the Japanese army was hit hard by the Chinese troops attacking from the rear. The Japanese were now completely concealed behind various bunkers capable of withstanding frontal machine guns, and their bodies were completely exposed to blows from the rear. There's nowhere to hide this time. Cross-fire from the front and rear swept across the Japanese troops.

The Japanese squadron leader was shot three times in his back, and in the pain of suffocation, he wondered why the troops behind the palace had not had time to warn at all. Before he lost consciousness, the squadron leader doubted that everyone's hearing was attracted by the heavy machine guns of the Chinese army in front, and he did not have time to hear the sound of enemy fire behind him.

The troops in Laoshan were not so firm in enforcing the discipline of preferential treatment of prisoners, and after the battlefield fell silent, they quickly cleaned up the battlefield and collected as much as possible the Japanese weapons, ammunition, and even bullet casings. In the process of cleaning up the battlefield, there were also dying Japanese soldiers who tried to raise their guns and shoot, and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army immediately killed them. Carrying a large number of weapons and ammunition, the troops of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army left behind the dead and wounded, and carried a few lightly wounded Japanese soldiers to retreat quickly into the mountains. It was almost half an hour after the retreat of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army that the Japanese reinforcements cautiously touched up.

For the next day, guerrilla warfare continued daily in the Laoshan area. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army implemented the tactics of cold guns and cold runs. In various places, in the posture of luring the Japanese army, he continued to kill and wound the Japanese army piecemeal. Hundreds of sporadic attacks were carried out in 24 hours, and each attack resulted in casualties. The commander of the Sendai Division was completely furious. The Chinese army on the opposite side can only be described as shameless. The battlefield is no longer a place to show the strength of the army, but has become a real Shura field, a killing field.

In the face of the enemy's harassment, the Japanese army sent several squadrons and even brigades into the mountains the next day to clear the mountain. Before departure, the division commander warned the troops that the purpose of this battle was to eliminate the surrounding enemy from disturbing the troops, but in the afternoon, there was a loud fire of gunfire in the mountains. The Japanese had to send another brigade into the mountains to provide support. By night, the Japanese vanguard and reinforcements had been heard from. It was not until dawn the next day that the wounded soldiers crawled back. Two brigades were attacked in the mountains one after another, and the whole army was annihilated.

After daybreak, in addition to the Japanese wounded and sick, the Chinese army's harassment troops also returned. The Japanese army also set up a number of sentry posts on the hills near the landing site, which were uprooted by the Chinese army one by one. Almost every minute, Japanese soldiers were dying, and every minute, the gunfire never stopped.

The commander of the Sendai Division discovered a terrible fact, if he wanted to lead his troops to the Liuting area of Qingdao as planned, he would have to endure fierce attacks from the roadside on the march. If he wanted to clear the Chinese army in the Laoshan area first, he would march into Qingdao. Then the strength of the entire Sendai Division is simply not enough to control this strange mountainous area. On the contrary, the Chinese army, as the head snake of the land, can be fought or withdrawn, and the Japanese army is stuck to the Japanese army like kraft candy. Thinking of the terrible situation he was facing, the commander of the Sendai Division was undecided, and he couldn't come up with any solution at all.

If you don't expand your defense, you will be beaten passively. Expand the defensive line, and the Japanese outposts will be beaten. The attack was carried out with the strength of a large group, and the two brigades that were annihilated were the result. The Sendai Division of the Japanese Army is a type A division, also known as the Horse Pulling Division, with 2 brigades (2 infantry wings per brigade), one wing of engineering, one cavalry, one artillery, and one wing of the hammer, a total of 8 wings, plus the non-combatants of the first division headquarters and two brigade headquarters, the entire division has a total strength of 28,200 people. Although the number of people is large, these nearly 30,000 people scattered in the entire Laoshan mountain area are nothing at all. The coastline of Laoshan Mountain alone is 87 kilometers long, and 30,000 people are holding hands, which is not so long. If the Japanese army divided its forces and marched to the Liuting area of Qingdao, the Chinese troops in the mountains would definitely give up attacking the Japanese army and cut off the Japanese army's transportation lines instead. At that time, the Japanese army in front was advancing alone, and ...... deduction in the division headquarters made all the commanders of the Sendai Division shudder.

In the Qingdao Fortress Command Post, which is less than 80 miles away from the Japanese army's Qingdao Yangkou, Pu Guanshui has already received the latest battle report. Although the Japanese had landed three days earlier, neither Japanese division was able to advance smoothly under the heavy blows of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. The Japanese prisoners confessed the numbers and strength of the two divisions. According to the latest information obtained by the People's Party intelligence system, the Japanese army sent nearly 80,000 troops of the army and navy to attack Qingdao this time. At present, the Qingdao Military Sub-district has four divisions and nearly 120,000 troops from other units. Judging from the current war situation, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army is in an advantageous position.

Even in the Qingdao area, the Qingdao fortress gradually regained its advantage in artillery battles. The Germans captured in the Qingdao fortress last time, at the instigation of the "united front", joined the Qingdao fortress defense units of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. At this time, Pu Guanshui realized that the Germans had not told much truth after they were captured. Including the establishment of gun emplacements and firing charts, the Germans left one or even several hands. It was only when they knew that the Japanese army they were facing had now joined the Entente and officially became an enemy of Germany, that these Germans contributed all their knowledge and strength. Pu Guanshui knew about the "united front" and had also received relevant political training. This was the first time that Pu Guanshui understood that the common enemy and grasping the main contradiction were the most important driving force in the united front.

With the help of the builders of the Qingdao fortress, the results in the artillery battle in the past two days have improved a lot. While the Japanese attempted to carry out the landing, three destroyers were sunk, one cruiser was heavily damaged, and almost sank in the billowing smoke, and one battleship suffered three shots. More than a dozen small boats that carried out the landing were sunk. In addition, the small-scale frontal landing of the Japanese Navy was a complete failure, and the landing Japanese army was completely annihilated. By September 26, 1914, four days after the Japanese attack on September 22, 1914. The Japanese Navy temporarily stopped the attack, and all the fleets in front of Qingdao were withdrawn to the open sea.

Pu Guanshui immediately sent a report to the Shandong Military Region to report the current situation. That night, Puguan Water was rewarded. "Comrade Pu Guanshui, the army is very pleased with the results achieved by the comrades of the Qingdao Military Sub-district in their bloody battles. After the Japanese attack is frustrated, there will definitely be adjustments, and with their current strength, they will not be able to complete the battle concept of landing on both flanks and encircling Qingdao. Therefore, in addition to preventing the Japanese army from jumping over the wall and forcibly implementing this campaign concept by all means, it is also necessary to consider another possibility, that the Japanese army will increase its military input and even expand the scale of the war. If the latter is the case, the Qingdao Military Sub-district will face an even more grim situation. The Shandong Military Region, including the Military Commission, is making preparations. It is hoped that the Qingdao Military Sub-district will be able to hold on to its national territory and never allow the invading station to set foot on Chinese soil. Finally, I would like to pay high tribute to the comrades of the Qingdao Military Sub-district who fought bloodily. ”

After reading the telegram, Pu Guanshui felt a little surprised, 200,000 soldiers from China and Japan have entered the war, which is already an unprecedented war in East Asia and even Asia for decades. Pu Guanshui is not sure about this at all.
