There was no need to elaborate on the next battle, and after the main reinforcements of the infantry brigade came up, Zeng Zhongsheng was not polite, and ordered the two artillery regiments of the artillery brigade to come and fire two salvos. After the shelling, the Devil Infantry Brigade was ravaged beyond recognition, and as soon as the infantry fire began again, the battlefield fell silent in just a few minutes.

There was no suspense in the battle at Beijipo Station, and the two regiments attacked a squad of devils, even if they stepped on them, they also trampled on the devils.

At the Beijipo Devil Team Headquarters, Zhang Haitao found the list of officers stationed in the army, as well as a complete radio station, the code book was also good, and even the orders of Major General Mizuno Shin were well kept. Zhang Haitao was overjoyed, and immediately found a telegraph operator who was proficient in the Chinese language, and let him get acquainted with several telegrams of the Yue Army, and then sent a report to the headquarters of the Second Army in the name of Mizuno Shin, the commander of the 10th Brigade and Regiment of the Reading Power Mixed Brigade, saying that the main force of the Dawenkou garrison that had been swept by Beiteng had returned to Dawenkou after completing its task, and had fought with the railway garrison, the military police, and the Imperial Association Army that were holding Dawenkou.

The telegraph operator said to Zhang Haitao with some confusion that each telegraph operator's techniques are different, and it is easy for masters to distinguish them. Besides, it is unreasonable to send a report to the Second Army on the radio station of the Jipo garrison in the north, and the devils will soon find out.

Zhang Haitao smiled: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, send it like this first." If the command of the Second Army of the devil asks why the radio of the 10th Brigade is not mixed with reading power, you tell him that the radio station of the brigade is malfunctioning. Besides, the operator of the Second Army is not a master of spies, and it is difficult to say whether he has seen through our level! ”

Thinking about such a big movement, it is possible to temporarily deceive the headquarters of the Second Army in Jinan, but it is basically impossible to hide from the devils at Jieshou Station and Ciyao Town. Zhang Haitao also asked the telegraph operator to send a report to the devils in the two places, saying that His Excellency, the commander of the Mizuno Shin Brigade, commanded the main force of the 10th Brigade to destroy the Tuba Road guerrillas who tried to sabotage the railway and the Diao people who were lured by the Tuba Road, killing and wounding more than 5,000 people. At present, the public order of the Jinpu Railway from Tai'an to Dawenkou has been restored to normal, and the defenders of the two places have been ordered to strictly guard the fortifications and guard against the attack of the Tuba Road to ensure the safety of the railway.

In fact, Zhang Haitao can send a report to the devils in Ciyao Town, but it is not necessary to send a report to the devils at the head of the world. Because when he saw the plateau, he knew that the devil brigade at the first station of the world had already gone south with Mizuno Shin and died under Tai'an City. The dozens of devils who stayed behind were also led by the reconnaissance company of the 1st Brigade.

After sending a telegram to the various departments of the devils, Zhang Haitao sent a telegram to Liu Yimin, reporting the news of the seizure of the military radio station and his own disposition.

After receiving the telegram, the operational staff officer immediately sent the telegram to Lieutenant General Tsugihiko of Dongjiuer Palace, and after reading it, Lieutenant General Tsugiyan of Donggyur Palace, said lightly, "I said that it is impossible for the imperial army that swept Beiteng to shatter jade, look, isn't this back again?" How can Tubalu destroy an infantry brigade of the Imperial Army? If the main force of the Eighth Route Army comes, it is still a little possible. With the broken gun of Tu Balu, how can you take Dawenkou? ”

After speaking, Lieutenant General Tsukihiko Wang of Donggyur Palace handed over to the staff officer to send a report to the headquarters of the North China Front, reporting that everything was normal in Dawenkou.

Of course, after the fact, Yue Jun still knew what happened in Tai'an, but it was a little late, a day later. The reason was that the Yanzhou garrison reported why the Jinpu Road train was suspended, which attracted the attention of Lieutenant General Tsugahiko of Dongjuer Palace.

After the whole battle, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong jointly sent a report to Liu Yimin, informing them of the battle situation of the capture of Dawenkou and Beijipo, and at the same time ordering the troops to go all out to break the road.

Liu Yimin was in Longting at this time, there was no way, there were too many things, not only to manage the military, but also to manage various undertakings in the base area. Although special leaders have been assigned to be responsible for several major aspects, Liu Yimin still wants to do the basic work in all aspects as solidly as possible.

The current overall war situation is similar to the historical trend, Xuzhou, although the main force has taken the initiative to shrink, but in Chiang Kai-shek's heart, if he can hold on to Xuzhou for one more day, he can buy one more day for the Battle of Wuhan. In order to resist the overall situation, although Chiang Kai-shek ordered the main force to break through, he still ordered the troops holding Xuzhou to fight with the enemy on the periphery, delaying the attack speed of the devils. The defenders of Xuzhou are now waiting for the final retreat order from the Commander's Department. However, unlike history, Chiang Kai-shek did not mobilize a large army to Xuzhou, let alone have the idea of a decisive battle with the enemy in Xuzhou. In this way, the combat initiative of our army in Xuzhou has been greatly enhanced. On the side of the army, it is still buried in the implementation of the big detour strategy, and after the main force of the Fifth Division captured Heze, it has already killed Xuzhou. After capturing Lianyungang, the Sixth Division of the Chinese Army was rapidly advancing towards Xuzhou. Xuzhou has been under the attack of the northern and southern armies. The 14th Division of the Chinese Army had already moved to Puyang and would soon cross the river to the south.

On the Shanxi battlefield, after the army withdrew its troops, it was temporarily in a strategic defensive posture and was busy rectifying public order in the occupied areas. It's a pity that it is very different from history now, the achievements of the Eighth Route Army are there, and there is a heavy army group of [***] on Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Jin Sui Army also started to fight well when the army swept up, although the losses were large, but it has not yet reached the point in history that Yan Xishan escaped the Yellow River. The Eighth Route Army also transferred the remaining troops of three main divisions from Shaanxi to join the Shanxi battlefield, and relying on the replenishment of the Shaanxi base area, the troops were not short of food or ammunition, so it was natural to seize the opportunity of the reduction of the army's strength to attack. With the ability of [***], Liu Bocheng, and Xu Xiangqian, where can the little devil stop, although there is no big battle, but the small battle will happen many times a day, and the little devil will be exclaimed again and again that the earth is powerful, and he has to divide his troops to guard it.

After receiving the telegrams from Zeng Zhongsheng, Cai Zhong, Gao Yuan, and Zhang Haitao, Liu Yimin immediately called back, ordering that after completing the task of breaking the road, the Tai'an detachment would take over the defense from Tai'an to Dawenkou, and transport the materials and property seized in Tai'an, Beijipo, and Dawenkou back to the Yimeng central base area and hand them over to Wu Zheng for collection. Weapons and ammunition were replenished on the spot and surplus was brought back. The 1st Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, and the divisional units must arrive at the designated place on time as required by the time when they go north at night. The Tai'an detachment had the task of contacting the Taixi Garrison Brigade, and after receiving them to the training headquarters and the first branch of the Anti-Japanese University, they escorted them back to the Yimeng central base area.

Liu Yimin also considered annihilating the enemy near Tai'an to expand the results of the battle. Because now Tai'an to Dawenkou has been captured by our army, the head of the boundary to the north has been controlled by our army, and the defenders of Ciyao Town to the south are limited, if our army wants to recover, it will be easy. It is even possible to attack Yanzhou to the south or to raise the banner of our army to capture Tai'an, attract the Eighth Division of Jinan to the south, and annihilate it near Tai'an. However, considering that Tai'an is too close to the direction of Xuzhou, and the main divisions of the Yue army are in that direction, although our army has cut off the Jinpu line, the Yue army can completely rely on sea transportation and supplies. In this case, it is very likely that the main force of the Yue army in Xuzhou will immediately turn around and go north, and the army of Jinan will go south to attack our army. However, the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army is not comparable to these mixed brigades and regiments that are responsible for garrison tasks, and if the devils adopt a steady and steady approach to gradually advance, the battle may be locked into a stalemate. As soon as daylight arrives, the planes of the Syrian army will provide powerful assistance to the Japanese army, and after a little delay of two days, the main force of the southern front of the Chinese army may arrive. It is very likely that the Eighth Division will not be eliminated, not to mention, it will be surrounded by the main force of the army, and then it will be a big trouble. You must know that the reason why he was able to eliminate the elite 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division so quickly was because Itagaki Seishiro didn't know that there was an instructor of the Eighth Route Army near Taiyuan, and if he knew and took it seriously, it was difficult to say whether he would have decided to fight. And now the situation is very different, the army from top to bottom regards the instructor as the number one enemy, once they are sure that the instructor is in Tai'an, what will they do, there is no need to think about it, at least there will be no lone army to enter. In addition, Tai'an is a famous historical city, Mount Tai is a sacred mountain in the minds of the Chinese nation, there are many historical sites, and they can't afford to lose them. In this way, Liu Yimin gave up the idea of fighting in Tai'an, and still fought according to the original idea of the Luzhong Campaign. He then telegraphed Zhang Haitao that after taking over the defense of Tai'an, he could use the captured radio station to temporarily disguise the army and confuse the enemy. However, once the reinforcements arrived, they should retreat in advance, and they should not stick to the city of Tai'an, let alone fight fiercely with the enemy in Mount Tai. The task of the Tai'an detachment was to hold the base area of Culai Mountain and defend the central base area of Yimeng, not to stick to Tai'an.

After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan led the guard regiment to immediately set off and march to Weixian overnight.

On this night, Tai'an City was lively. At the beginning, the Eighth Route Army was still quietly moving the grain and ammunition in the army warehouse, and then the common people got up, and when they saw that it was indeed our army to recover Tai'an, they immediately ran to tell each other, and the young and middle-aged people were soon organized and joined the carrying army. The women began to make fires to cook, spread pancakes, and boil hot tea, and the Tai'an people, who were fed up with the bullying of devils, tasted liberation.

Zhang Haitao, who rushed to Tai'an, saw that the army had a lot of grain in stock, and that the 1st Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, and the divisional troops had to set off overnight after finishing the railway, and it was impossible to move all these materials for a while, so he decided to open a warehouse and release grain. At this time, the active surnames of those poor families were completely mobilized, and long queues were formed in front of several grain warehouses of the army, and the villagers were holding cloth bags and receiving rations in turn.

At dawn, a military column loaded with ammunition and rice from Jinan was captured by our army when it was filling water at the first station of the Jie. All the materials of the whole vehicle have become trophies of our army.
