The commander of the 33rd Independent Brigade, Yamazaki Shibu, set out from Jinan and scolded as he walked: "These garrisons are all waste, they are actually besieged by some local Chinese armed forces, and we are still going to relieve the siege." ”

His chief of staff was a little afraid of this brigade commander from a noble background, and he said flatteringly: "Your Excellency, you are right, in the whole of Shandong, we can defeat one brigade, but these garrisons can't even hold a single railway, which is really a shame for the Japanese Empire." ”

The independent brigades of the Japanese army are of the same level as the independent garrisons, and their establishment is larger, which is smaller than that of field divisions. The strength of the army is 7600 people, there are no armored units, there are few cars, the artillery has a brigade with only two squadrons, armed with Type 92 infantry guns.

That's it, they still look down on the combat effectiveness of the independent garrison.

No wonder they are arrogant. Because Han Fuyu, chairman of Shandong Province, fled without a fight, the Japanese army entered and occupied Shandong very smoothly. The devil is so arrogant that a squad dares to sweep a town, and a squadron can capture a county seat.

After the devils entered Shandong, the civil anti-Japanese armed forces in various places surged, with thousands of large units and more than a dozen small units, who lacked training and had very poor weapons, and could not pose a threat to the Japanese army.

The Tiger Brigade has never shown its name, the so-called Lunan anti-Japanese guerrillas. In the eyes of the Japanese army, it was a small guerrilla force.

If it weren't for the urgent request for help from the Nakajima garrison in Jining, and the garrison was related to the safety of the Tianjin-Pu Railway, Otaka Kamizo would not have sent a brigade to reinforce it.

In the summer, Chen Shuming armed more than 8,000 people, strengthened an artillery battalion, and besieged Jining City, and he took the main force of 13,000 people and set off overnight to fight the ambush of the independent 33rd brigade.

The distance from Jinan to Jining is 184 kilometers, and Pingyin County is 74 kilometers from Jinan, and Yinping County is under the control of the Japanese army.

Wataru Yamazaki, the commander of the 33rd Independent Brigade, never dreamed that he would encounter an ambush here. It's too close to Jinan.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the 33rd Independent Brigade went to Jining along the Jiguang Highway, not far from the county seat, passing through a mountainous area.

It is called Bodhisattva Mountain, the mountain is not high, the road passes under the mountain, the west is a gentle slope, the east is a field of crops, and behind is a village.

The 33rd Independent Brigade marched with thousands of men and horses, with the infantry of the brigade in front, then the brigade directly under the brigade, behind the artillery, baggage troops, and finally an infantry squadron.

Summer Chao was lying behind a boulder on the hillside, looking at the neatly arranged group of devils, in the middle, there were a few cars, no need to ask, it was the main mind of the devil's brigade headquarters.

Last night, it rained lightly, and the road was muddy, so it was impossible to plant explosives on the road. But it doesn't matter, the most important thing the Tiger Brigade lacks is firepower.

Natsuchao unhurriedly aimed at a sedan sandwiched in the middle, set up a machine gun, and pulled the trigger.

The Tiger Brigade opened fire, more than 700 machine guns, more than 8,000 submachine guns began to spit tongues of fire. The completely defenseless devil was beaten all at once.

At the first time, the brigade headquarters was completely killed. The devil's heavy weapons didn't have time to deploy, and the soldiers were defeated. Pure slaughter.

Xia Feng, who was in ambush in the village to the east, had a reinforced regiment under his command, 40 anti-aircraft guns, 30 anti-aircraft machine guns, 300 light machine guns, and one submachine gun per man. Just wait for the devils on the highway to escape and block it.

Unexpectedly, after the fire assault on the highway, the devils who were lucky to be alive did have someone who escaped, but there were less than 200 people, and Xia Feng ordered to open fire, and it was lost in an instant. It's just not fun.

In less than half an hour, the 33rd Independent Brigade was completely annihilated, and there was no chance to even report to Otaka Kamezo.

Frank, the commander of the artillery regiment, said dissatisfied: "Brigade Commander Xia, my artillery is not used, and the Japanese will be defeated." They're too bad, too. ”

Xia Chao didn't dare to think so, this is the devil is defenseless, if he starts the fight, the Tiger Brigade may not be able to beat others.

Xia Chao suddenly found that his luck was too good.

There are two lions, each with a group of cubs. The two lions have a grudge, and they will be killed when they meet. At this time, a hyena came and easily ate the lion's cub.

The current main force of the Japanese army is fighting to the death with the main force of the national army, and they are the two lions. Summer Dynasty is the hyena. Except for Jinan and Qingdao, where there are heavy troops of devils in Shandong, there are basically no people in other places.

Xia Chao ordered Li Kun to take the first regiment and a squadron of the special combat team to take the county seat of Pingyin and monitor the Japanese troops in the direction of Jinan on the spot. The rest of the forces immediately moved southwest, capturing all the county towns that could be captured.

Zhang Zizhong also received a telegram and asked him to start on the spot and capture Fei County and Pingyi County.

The commander of the 12th Army, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, received an alarm from various places, and the 33rd Independent Brigade could not be contacted, and then the Nakajima garrison in Jining sent a farewell telegram.

He calmed down. Instead of blindly sending reinforcements from Jinan, they sent a reconnaissance plane from Qingdao to Jining to reconnoitre, but unexpectedly, the reconnaissance plane was gone and never returned.

For the next three days, the commander of the 12th Army, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, did nothing, just waiting for information from the intelligence agencies.

Soon, news came: it was Zhang Zhizhong's 59th Army and local armed forces who organized the offensive.

Ogaka Kamizo didn't believe it, he thought that the 33rd Independent Brigade could annihilate the Independent 33rd Brigade even without time to send a telegram and report, and Zhang Zhizhong's 59th Army did not have this ability.

Odaka Kamezo suddenly remembered a troop, that tiger brigade has not heard from for a long time, could it be them. He ordered the intelligence agencies to look again.

Just when Odaka Kamezo hesitated, the Tiger Brigade completed the offensive operation.

Wuhan Supreme Military Council.

Chairman Chiang is now in a state of flux. The result of the Battle of Xuzhou greatly exceeded his imagination, not only did not achieve greater results, but also made the main force of the national army fall into encirclement, although the 79 divisions of the national army troops, although there were no devils completely annihilated, but most of them suffered serious losses.

The victory in Taierzhuang boosted the morale of the people, but the next battle situation was all bad news. The Japanese army attacked Henan, and Luoyang and Zhengzhou were lost. The Japanese army attacked in the direction of Wuhan.

Now that the morale of the people is extremely low, the momentum of the capitulation faction has begun to rise again. Not only did the local people flee to the southwest, but there were also a large number of deserters in the army.

In the war room, Chairman Chiang, He Yingqin, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, and others were studying the operation in the Henan direction, and at the same time studying the defense issue in Wuhan.

At this time, Wang Shihe sent a telegram from Cheng Qian, commander of the First Theater of Operations, who reported that Huang Jie, the commander of the enemy's 8th Army, had abandoned his position without authorization, causing the commander of the 29th Army Corps, Li Han's soul, to fall into passivity.

Commissar Jiang was furious and ordered Huang Jie, commander of the 8th Army, to be dismissed from his post as commander and handed over to the Military Justice Department of the Military Commission for strict handling.

Chairman Jiang was so angry that he coughed, and no one around him dared to speak.

At this moment, Wang Shihe came in again, and he said, "Sir, Zhang Zizhong of the 59th Army sent a telegram. ”
