Chapter 410: The Catastrophe (2)

June 6, 1938 is the mango seed in the 24th solar term of the lunar calendar. The sky is slightly bright, and the fields in Luzhong are full of busy farmers. Because the Eighth Route Army said that Xiao Yue was likely to send a large army to do evil, and the big guys were busy harvesting and grabbing seeds.

Guodian is a large town in the east of Jinan, and the Jiaoji Railway and Jiqing Highway pass through the town.

Since the victory of the Luzhong Campaign, the 108th Division of the Army has taken this place as an important fulcrum for the defense of Jinan, stationed a brigade of devils, and hundreds of puppet troops. Because the main force of the Fourth Brigade had threatened the eastern part of Jinan, the Jiaoji Road was stopped, and the Jiqing Highway was also cut off.

Guo Laishun was originally a platoon commander of the Northeast Army, but after the 918 Incident, he and his brothers stayed outside the gate and failed to withdraw to the gate. In the beginning, out of righteous indignation, he and his brothers joined the Volunteers, and later became captured in battle and became laborers. Seeing that he established Manchukuo in the Northeast and established Pu Yi as the emperor, I am afraid that the Northeast will really become my own, and my heart will die. In addition, the corpses of laborers were thrown into the ravine by the army to feed the wolves, Guo Laishun felt that he would not think about it anymore, he was likely to die in the military fortifications in the deep mountains and old forests, and it was useless to say anything. Therefore, when the devil rectified the puppet Manchurian Defense Army, he felt that it was an opportunity to get rid of the fate of being a laborer, so he befriended the army adviser who guarded the labor and became a puppet army. However, because he had fought with the Yue Army, he was not trusted, and he was no longer a platoon commander, so he could only be a big soldier.

In addition, he has been a soldier for a long time, has a lot of combat experience, knows how to dodge shells, and often falls behind when fighting, so as the army fought from the northeast to Rehe, and from Rehe to Shanxi, he actually survived from the battlefield. After the Battle of Taiyuan, his unit was transferred to Shandong to fight with the 108th Division, and later was simply incorporated into the North China Public Security Army, becoming part of the Imperial Allied Army, and completely under the command of the 108th Division.

In the early morning of this day, Guo Laishun and two puppet soldiers stood guard with the army. Seeing the soldiers crawling in the machine gun bunker as if they were facing a great enemy, Guo Laishun muttered in his heart, Xiao Yueben was also afraid! Thinking about it, this instructor of the Eighth Route Army is really powerful, and even the Eighth Division dares to clean it up, maybe one day it will enter Jinan City. If there was such a force in the Northeast back then, I am afraid that Xiao Yue would not have dared to capture the Beidaying! If this development continues, we have to consider whether this dog skin still needs to be draped.

When I was thinking about something, I heard a few sounds of "poof" and "poof", although the sound was very small, but Guo Laishun was old from fighting, and knew that it was definitely the sound of a bullet entering his body, so he hurriedly went underground, lay down on the spot, stared and looked around, strange, quiet, nothing? When I turned around and looked back, Damn, the five little devils standing guard with me were all dead, and the blood hole on their heads was bleeding!

Rao is Guo Laishun is accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly buried his head, not daring to move.

It wasn't until the sound of the devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun and grenadier firing behind him that Guo Laishun dared to look up again and saw a squad of devils on the town wall and was covering the open field in front of the east gate. Guo Laishun's heart trembled: I'm afraid that the brother who fired just now is over!

I was worried, but I saw a black and red blood stain oozing from the skull of the devil heavy machine gunner, and the heavy machine gun was dumbfounded. Then the two grenadiers were also dumbfounded. Guo Laishun secretly applauded in his heart, what a fucking goodness, he was able to kill their machine gunners and grenadiers under the fire of devils, amazing!

This time, the devil hidden in the dark fort at the root of the wall of the stockade had to fire, it turned out that in order not to expose the dark fire point, these dark forts did not fire, and now the devil finally couldn't help it, and the light and dark fire were all fired. However, there is no shadow of the Eighth Route Army on the other side, and the weapons of the Eighth Route Army are similar to the silent pistols used by the legendary agents, the sound is almost inaudible, and it is difficult to judge their accurate shooting position, so they can only judge the general direction according to the trajectory of the bullet shot by the devil. In this way, the devil shoots almost blindly.

After fighting for a while, the devil's casualties became bigger and bigger, and he couldn't see anyone or hear the gunshots, only one soldier died quietly, and the devil's squad leader's will to fight was completely destroyed, so he simply stopped fighting, and ordered the soldiers to hide their bodies under the wall and never show their heads again.

Guo Laishun's position on the east gate building was on the east gate, and all the embarrassment of the devil fell into his eyes, especially the short and fat squad leader, who was squatting at the root of the wall less than 60 meters away from Guo Laishun at this time, and kept giving orders with the help of the cover of the wall.

I couldn't tell if Tianliang found out or was fed up with the little devil's anger, Guo Laishun couldn't help but aim his rifle at the back of the devil squad leader, and didn't dare to pull the trigger after thinking about it for a long time, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to run away from this blow.

Maybe this devil squad leader really deserves to die, because he turned around at this moment, and at a glance he saw the rifle in Guo Laishun's hand aimed at him, and when he opened his mouth, he said, "Baga!" ”

Guo Laishun chuckled in his heart: "It's broken, it's been discovered by the devil!" As soon as his hand tightened, with a "bang", the bullet flew out and hit the chest of the devil squad leader accurately, and the guy landed on the spot.

Guo Laishun was stupid, his brain was straight, and his mouth trembled and shouted, "Taijun spares my life, I didn't mean it." It's a pity that the little devil can't understand his words, even if he understands, he can't spare him, several little devils shot at him at the same time, this Guo Laishun, who can't tell whether he is a martyr or a puppet army, followed the devil to fight so many battles, and finally died in the hands of the devil.

Wang Xiaoke, the captain of the eighth squad of the third sniper squadron, did not know what was happening in Guodian Town, his task had been completed, and he could see clearly through the scope that the devils stationed in Guodian were from the 10th Eighth Division. Seeing that the little devils had already hidden, and there was no oil or water, Wang Xiao could only withdraw, and he also wanted to try his luck elsewhere to see if he could find the devils who were not the 108th Division.

On this day, the devil strongholds around Jinan basically encountered the attack of the snipers of the Eighth Route Army, and the little devils kept reporting to the division headquarters and encountered the devil.

After Liu Yimin received Wang Tongsheng's report, he was shocked, this guy Terauchi Shouyi was indeed playing tricks, the sniper brigade fought for three days, and the little devils did not send troops to pursue in addition to shelling and bombing with planes, but only relied on fortifications to drive away the snipers with firepower, and later found the devils with the numbers of the 33rd Division and the 34th Division. What's going on here? Historically, these two divisions were only established in 1939, why did they appear on Jinpu Road at this time?

Thinking about the law of the devil's several increases in troops since the instructor joined the war, basically the divisions and regiments in history were organized into the battlefield in advance, Liu Yimin beat the drum in his heart, according to history, at this time, the devil should have established ten divisions, of which the 21st Division, 22nd Division, 23rd Division, and 24th Division were already in North China, and the 21st Division was planted under his own gun. The remaining six divisions should be the 15th Division, the 17th Division, the 104th Division, the 106th Division, the 110th Division, and the 116th Division. These divisions should have all been in China by now, mainly to strengthen the forces during the Battle of Wuhan. Now that the 33rd Division and the 34th Division have suddenly appeared again, could it be that in order to deal with himself, the little devils built the ten divisions that should have been formed in 1939 in advance and put them into the Shandong battlefield? If this is really the case, the devil's strength is too huge, completely beyond his imagination.

Liu Yimin did not dare to slack off, and strictly ordered Hong Chaoyuan, who was in Lunan, to send a reconnaissance company to infiltrate the vicinity of Xuzhou to conduct a detailed investigation, and to find out the changes in the strength of the first-line devils in Xuzhou. Ordered Zhang Hongtao to find out the changes in the strength of the devils in Cangxian no matter what.

Thinking about it, Liu Yimin still didn't feel at ease, Liu Yimin sent a telegram to the central government, requesting that all the intelligence systems that could be activated be activated, and that the strength of the Yue army to attack Shandong must be clarified.

It's a pity that Liu Yi's police felt a little late, and the devil started to do it.

After the Kwantung Army's 1st Division, 2nd Division, 7th Division, 3rd Cavalry Brigade, and 30,000 Manchurian Defense Forces in support of the North China operation entered the customs, General Terauchi Shouichi, Lieutenant General Tada Jun, and Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe personally met with officers at or above the rank of captain of the Kwantung Army's entry unit and officers at or above the commander level of the Manchurian Defense Corps, and encouraged them. The old devil Shouyi in the temple openly promised that if any unit killed or captured Liu Yimin alive, the officer rank would be promoted by one level, and the army would be on vacation for three days. It stimulated these man-eating beasts to the point that the blood of the beasts boiled.

Finally, when all the troops were deployed, Terauchi Shouichi quickly issued a formal combat order, ordering the carrier-based aircraft of the Combined Fleet to attack Qingdao and Jiaodong to further attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army; Ordered the Kwantung Army to move southward to assault the central and eastern Hebei borders. Terauchi Shouichi made it very clear in his battle order that all resistance forces on the North China Plain should be completely eliminated and [***] and the Eighth Route Army should be eradicated.

On 9 June 1938, the carrier-based aircraft of the joint fleet of the Chinese People's Liberation Army carried out wanton and indiscriminate bombing of Qingdao's coastal defense positions in three waves. The plane kept diving and dropping bombs, blowing up all the suspicious targets.

Just when Liu Yimin was repeatedly pondering why the Yue army bombed the coastal defense positions in Qingdao, the troops of the northern front of the Yue army, with the 1st Division, the 2nd Division, the 7th Division, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade as the main force, launched a surprise attack on the central Hebei and Hebei border areas.
