Wuhan Military Commission. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zongren said: "I was very moved by the telegram of the summer tide, this is the overall situation. ”

Bai Chongxi also had some feelings, he said: "I originally thought that he would ask the Military Commission for help, or make other requests, but I didn't expect that he was so young and open-minded. Rare. ”

It turned out that Xia Chao sent a telegram to the Military Commission, saying that the 35th Group Army would counterattack the Japanese attack on its own and contain the Japanese army as much as possible, and asked the Military Commission to seize the time to adjust the deployment and improve the fortifications in Wuhan.

It's not that he is selfless in doing this, anyway, the result is like this, it is better to be high-spirited and fall into personal favors.

Chairman Jiang said movingly: "The tide is good, and when we encounter difficulties, we never cause trouble to the country. For the sake of the country everywhere. The generals of the national army, if they were all like this, the Japanese would not be so rampant. ”

Chen Cheng said very worriedly: "They have a group army of 50,000 horses, and they have to fight against 100,000 Japanese troops alone, and the pressure is too great. ”

The strength of the summer tide has always been hidden, and Chen Cheng didn't know that the number of troops that the summer tide could mobilize was already 150,000.

Tai'an is the southern gate of Jinan.

On this morning, the south gate of Tai'an City had just opened, and a few devils and a dozen puppet soldiers were lazily on duty outside the gate.

Suddenly, a fierce burst of guns rang out, and there were even mortars, and most of the devils and puppet troops outside the city gate were killed. Then, a large number of regular troops of the national army appeared in the fields outside the city, rushing towards Taean City.

A few devils who were lucky enough to be alive fled into the gate, and then the gate was closed. The devils inside hurriedly went up the city wall and shot outside the city. The captain of the devil squad who was in charge of guarding the south gate looked outside the city and was startled: in the fields outside the city, the troops of the national army were densely packed, and there were tens of thousands of people.

The leader of the devil squad hurriedly reported to the supreme commander of the defenders.

Garrisoned in Tai'an was a wing commander of the Japanese 104th Division, who immediately reported the attack to his superiors in Jinan.

The commander of the Twelfth Army in Jinan, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, received the report and immediately became angry. He was about to wipe out the troops of Summer Tide when they came to the door.

He is now full of confidence, with the supplemented 104th Division in his hands, the 134th Division, the 67th Independent Brigade, and a brigade of the 14th Qingdao Division transferred from the mainland. The total strength is more than 60,000 troops, with the support of air force and naval aviation. He immediately gave the order for an attack on the summer tide. At the same time, the Central China dispatch army was notified.

The main force of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army, the 67th Independent Brigade, went south to reinforce Tai'an, and the 134th Division rushed to Linyi.

The attack on Tai'an was a division of the 59th Army, an independent brigade, and 22 regiments of the guerrilla army, with a total strength of more than 40,000 troops.

Under the city of Tai'an, an artillery regiment of the national army violently bombarded the positions of the Japanese army, and the only 4 122-mm howitzers of the group army were also in the period.

Otaka Kamizo received an urgent request for help from the defenders of Tai'an, fearing that they would not be able to hold on, so he ordered the reinforcements to speed up and sent the air force of Jinan to help in the battle.

Three days ago, Aoki had just been promoted to the captain of the Shaosa Flying Squadron, and was about to make achievements and show his abilities to the captain who appreciated him, so he went to Tai'an with 12 bombers.

At this time, the Japanese army was too arrogant, because the air force of the national army was basically depleted, in North China, bomber sorties were even exempted from fighter escort. The national army had almost no anti-aircraft weapons, and Aoki won a great victory every time he sorted.

He and his pilots actually had many competitions to outcompete them as to who could attack targets at low altitudes. Aoki once dropped a bomb at a height of 30 meters above the ground, accurately blowing up a bridge.

This time, he was also full of confidence.

Taean has arrived. From an altitude of 2,000 meters, Aoki saw the position of the national army in the distance, and ordered to lower the altitude and follow him to dive and bomb.

Xu Feihu was followed by a regiment of the Air Defense Brigade of the Group Army, and the regiment commander Zhao Dongsheng was a cadet of the 12th batch of the Central Military Academy, one of the first 50 cadets who participated in the Battle of Songhu.

He is very clever and tactical, and last night, he arranged the anti-aircraft artillery positions covertly and waited for the devil's plane to send him to death.

Aoki was extremely excited when he saw the ant-like soldiers on the ground, singing the minor tune of his hometown, and began to dive downward.

Suddenly, a cloud of white smoke rose from the ground, more than a hundred anti-aircraft guns spat out tongues of fire, and the bulky Japanese bombers were suddenly shrouded in a rain of bullets.

The rate of fire of a 37-mm anti-aircraft gun is 320-360 rounds per minute, and this is still a single-barreled, hundreds of double-barreled salvos, what is the concept?

Before Aoki could react, the nose of the plane was blown to pieces. The rest of the planes, without exception, were all taken out.

When Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo received the report, he was depressed at first, and said in his heart: "Where did the Chinese get the anti-aircraft guns?" Probably imported from Germany, he thought.

However, he was immediately happy. Judging from the number of people and weapons of the national army attacking Tai'an, the main force of the Xia Dynasty was in Tai'an. The 134th Division had no resistance to attack Linyi.

When the 134th Division took Linyi and Zaozhuang and attacked the main force of Xia Chao from south to north, I am afraid that without the help of the people sent from Central China, he will be able to eliminate Xia Chao and open up the Tianjin-Pudong Railway.

He informed the 134th Division of the situation and asked them to speed up the march.

The commander of the 134th Division, Sugi Aoyama, was a fanatical militarist, and before coming to China, he was very envious when he heard that his colleagues had made great achievements in China, plundered property, and ** women. Now that he finally had a chance to show his skills, he immediately ordered the troops, to take the train, and advance along the Qinglin Railway.

Matsui Ishine received a notification from Otaka Kamezo, checked the 134th Division's advance route, and understood Otaka Kamezo's intentions. It's to get rid of him and do it alone.

Because of the initiative of the summer tide, the original siege plan of the Japanese army has not been prepared, the troops of the 40th Division of the Central China Dispatch Army have not yet reached Xuzhou, and Matsui Ishine is too lazy to take care of the tail of the high turtle, and the opening of the railway is originally a matter of the North China Front.

Since Otaka Kamezo had this idea, he patiently waited for the troops of the 40th Division to assemble in Xuzhou.

A huge warplane appeared.

Wuhan Military Commission.

Chairman Jiang asked Li Zongren and said, "Delin, what is the intention of the Xia Dynasty to suddenly surround Tai'an?" ”

Li Zongren thought for a moment and said: "I don't know, maybe, he wants to encircle the point and send reinforcements, first attacking the 104th Division of the Japanese Army in Jinan." However, Jinan is too close to Tai'an, how can he ambush?

If he wanted to annihilate the 104th Division, he had to use the troops of the entire group army, such a large number of troops, to ambush it, and it was difficult to hide his attempt not to be detected. No way. ”

Bai Chongxi lay in front of the sand table and studied for a long time, thoughtful.
