In the end, the Eighth Route Army was still unable to completely annihilate the 27th Division.

On the night of the Double Tenth Festival, the Taixi Garrison Brigade of the Eighth Route Army made a big move and surrounded Tai'an City.

The Tai'an detachment of the Eighth Route Army attacked the town of Dawenkou and cut off the Tai'an Japanese puppet army from Qu Zhuo,

Yanzhou hastily fled all the way to the contact between the Japanese puppet army in Ciyao Town. As long as Liu and Luo arrived with the main force, the 27th Division would definitely not be lost.

This is the period of the Anti-Japanese War, the transportation is backward, Tengxian is so far away from Tai'an, it is as full as a mile, the infantry can't run to death after a day and a night, and the cavalry has to run for a whole day. The instructor was also the only one who could get there in five or six hours.

In order to delay the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese rearguard army sent engineers to lay mines on the road between Yanzhou, Quzhuo and Ciyao, in an attempt to affect the speed of the advance of the instructor's armored aircraft group.

In addition to tanks, armored vehicles, and motorcycles, 600 trucks loaded with heavy machine gun regiments of the heavy machine gun brigade and the 1st Brigade of the Jiao 1 Brigade marched along the highway from Tengxian to Tai'an.

Speed and time, these two things are what Liu Yimin needs most now.

In order to rescue the 27th Division, the Japanese army could concentrate all the planes in North China, blow up a bloody road, and cover the withdrawal of the 27th Division from Tai'an and escape back to Jinan. In that case, it would be equivalent to recovering a large area of Lunan territory, but allowing the main force of the Japanese puppet army to escape. This kind of battle is particularly boring, and as soon as the devil heavy army group arrives, most areas of Lunan will have to fall, which is equivalent to our army and the Japanese puppet army tugging each other, so the people of Lunan will suffer a great crime.

In order to ensure the speed of the march, Liu Yimin could not even take care of Surabaya, Buxian, Lincheng, Jining, Quzhuo, and Yanzhou, where the puppet army had fled, but only ordered the cavalry brigade and regiments to divide their troops, and commanded the county brigades and guerrillas operating in these places to quickly occupy the county seat, control the county seat, and strictly prevent gangsters and bandits from taking advantage of the opportunity to loot. Let Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong command the new 1st Brigade, the new 4th Brigade, the new 8th Brigade, the artillery brigade, the air defense brigade, the engineer brigade, the baggage brigade and other divisional armies to follow up and march to Tai'an. Liu Yimin himself took Feng, the deputy director of the advisory office, several consultants, and a radio station, got into the car, and followed the first brigade to kill Tai'an.

Liu Yimin secretly hoped in his heart that the 1 devil was a bit of a kind and could hold on to the front line of Tai'an, and in just two days, the main force of the Eighth Route Army would all rush to Tai'an City to annihilate the 27th Division and the 16th Brigade of self-reliance.

The night of October 10 was just after the cold lu, but there was no trace of the cold lu on the Lunan Plain. In addition to the old Cangsheng in the counties, market towns and along the highway who knew that the Japanese puppet army had fled, the vast majority of the old Cangsheng actually did not know that the Japanese puppet army had fled from Lunan and was still lifeless in the vast wilderness.

Looking at the vast night, Liu Yimin silently calculated in his heart, calculating the military strength that the Japanese army was about to retaliate against and sweep Dàng, and the biggest variable was that the Japanese army transferred troops from the Kwantung Army into the customs. As long as the Kwantung Army is inferior to Guandong, even if the Fifth Division returns to Shandong, and the 114th Division returns to Xuzhou after resting and making up for it, it will not be able to change the current situation on the battlefield in Shandong. If we continue to grow like this, we will be able to fully recover Shandong in less than a year. Of course, this is only an assumption, the Japanese army will definitely not be willing to lose, and Shandong may have to go through another huge test of blood and fire. At present, the situation of our army is actually not good, the main force is separated into several pieces, and it cannot be gnawed in the face of the Japanese heavy army group. On the contrary, when the Japanese heavy army group arrives, it is easy to be copied by devils and friends. In particular, the southeast base area of Shandong, near the sea, has a gentle terrain, which is most suitable for a sneak attack by the Japanese army. Maybe Tada Jun's old man is staring at this place!

In the night, Liu Yimin sat in the car, his eyes looking straight ahead, but he was silently thinking about his heart in his heart.

The Eighth Route Army did not expect that the Japanese army would also play mine warfare and plant mines on the road.

After receiving the report, Liu Yimin and Gao Yuan rushed to the new army column of Zhao Yonggang's Second Special Operations Squadron, which was at the forefront of the infantry team, to check on it, only to see that the three motorcycles had been blown over, and the soldiers on the cars were not scratched by shrapnel.

The injury is when the car rolls over.

Zhao Yonggang was watching with a piece of mine fragment when he saw Liu Yimin arriving and was busy telling the situation.

Liu Yimin took the mine fragments in Zhao Yonggang's hand and looked at them, and saw that they were ordinary mines, not anti-tank mines, so he ordered the armored regiment to drive up the heavy tank battalion to open the way for the army.

When the Eighth Route Army implemented the tactics of attacking from the south to pulling from the north, Fu Zhuting's New Sixth Brigade and Xu Shiyou's Luxi Garrison Brigade captured Cangxian County and emptied the Japanese army's logistics supply base in Cangxian County, of which 20 were captured

The Japanese army is newly equipped with 20 heavy tanks and 30 Type 98 20mm anti-aircraft guns, all of which are equipped with anti-aircraft brigades, and 30 anti-aircraft guns from the air defense brigades are equipped with several newly organized brigades to deal with Japanese tanks. These 20 heavy tanks and captured gasoline were transported back to the southeastern base area from the Jilu border, and Liu Yimin led the southward army to return to the north before they were equipped with an armored regiment, and a heavy tank battalion was built in Lingding.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army wanted marching speed, and heavy tanks could just play the role of minesweepers.

Because the Japanese army laid mines, the speed of the march slowed down, and the motorcycles and armored vehicles of the Second Special Operations Squadron, which had opened the road in front, retreated to the rear, and the armored regiment commander Zhao Yahe and political commissar Wang Ping commanded the tanks of the armored regiment to line up one after another and open the way for the whole army on the road. In this way, the rumbling of tank motors is interspersed with the sound of explosions of mines from time to time.

At the beginning, Zhao Dahe and the others were afraid that the Japanese army's mines would blow up the tank, just like teaching the instructor army to use anti-tank mines against devil tanks. However, after checking the explosion of several mines, Zhao Dahe was relieved, got into the command car, and loudly ordered to move forward at full speed.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when the armored cluster of the Eighth Route Army turned on the headlights and roared in the area of Ciyao Town.

From Tengxian to Ciyao, the mechanized march of the Eighth Route Army took eight hours!

At this time, there was already a pot of porridge between Tai'an and the magnetic kiln.

The Japanese puppet army that fled from Yanzhou and Quzhuo to Ciyao Town originally planned to camp in Ciyao and rush to Tai'an under the cover of aircraft early tomorrow morning. Because they were running too fast, too fast, and too tired, they had to stop and rest. In addition, the magnetic kiln was under the control of the Japanese army, and there were strongholds and relatively complete fortifications. The Japanese army retreating north had a complete infantry wing, as well as some artillery, engineers, and heavy soldiers assigned to it, plus the puppet army, the puppet police, and the puppet self-defense regiment, and the puppet regime armament, and the military strength was also quite huge. Relying on a position to hold on is much riskier than a night march.

There is no need for infantry from Feixian to Ciyao, even the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army will not be able to catch up overnight, unless they run all the horses to death. And the Eighth Route Army has just finished the battle of Feixian, so they can't catch up so quickly. Even if the Eighth Route Army, which had been operating around Tai'an, surrounded it, the Japanese army was not afraid, they did not have an artillery group, no chariots, and could not attack the town of Ciyao defended by a wing of the Japanese army.

In Tada, Iida Sadagu, and Honma Masa, I think it's safe to come to Ciyao Town tonight.

The gunfire of the Tai'an detachment of the Eighth Route Army reoccupying Dawenkou woke up the commander of the Japanese puppet army in the area of Ciyao and the commander of the infantry of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, Suzuki Keihisa, who immediately arrived at the Eighth Route Army to cut off their connection with the main force of the division in Tai'an, and lost them in one bite.

Suzuki Keihisa did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent a report to the division commander Honma Masan, explaining the situation, and requesting the main force of the division to quickly move south, flank the Eighth Route Army that captured Dawenkou, and take them north.

Honma Masaka called back, and there was also a situation around Tai'an that the main force of the Eighth Route Army Division could not move south at night. He ordered Keihisa Suzuki to occupy the position on the spot, resolutely defend it, and repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army. As long as they hold out until dawn, the aviation can cover the safe northward movement of Suzuki Keihisa's headquarters and join the main force of the division.

Honma Masayan also told Suzuki Keihisa that the capture of Daewenkou was the Dohachi Road, which had been operating around Tai'an, and it was also very well-equipped, but there was no artillery group, no combat vehicles, and no armored vehicles, so they could not attack the magnetic kiln. It's just that the delayed imperial army is blocked and marched north to join the main force, so as to buy time for Liu Yimin's forces in Lunan to arrive. However, Fei County was too far away from the magnetic kiln, and there were aviation reconnaissance and bombing during the day, and the Eighth Route Army could not march. They can only go out for one night, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to catch up with the magnetic kiln.

Keihisa Suzuki believed Honma's nose and drove all his troops to the position, preparing to hold out until dawn before continuing north.

The devil wants to defend it, and the Eighth Route Army has to cooperate, right?

Zhang Haitao, the commander of the Tai'an detachment, left his own compensation regiment and the new corps to set up a blocking position on the front line of Dawenkou to block the Japanese army that might have Tai'an and Beijipo to reinforce from the south, and he led three main regiments to pounce on Ciyao Town and surrounded the devils. The two sides opened the ping-pong.

The combat effectiveness of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army was indeed unambiguous, and Zhang Haitao commanded the army to attack the town under the cover of night, but it turned out that he could not attack it, so he had to calm down and fight from the north, west,

Three bread copies on the east. As for the south, Zhang Haitao is not afraid, he knows that the most elite armored aircraft group of the Eighth Route Army in China is rushing towards the magnetic kiln, and if the devils retreat south and happen to collide, then they will die very miserably.

When the Xinghe River composed of the lights of the Eighth Route Army's armored cluster poured into the vicinity of Ciyao Town, Zhang Haitao knew that his mission had been completed, and the next thing was to beware of the Japanese puppet army escaping in the night.

Zhang Haitao immediately sent troops to contact the armored group that caught up, guided the armored group to initiate the attack, and at the same time ordered his three regiments to attack the Japanese army, sticking to the Japanese puppet army, so that they could not escape if they wanted to.

At this time, if the Japanese puppet army who fled from Yanzhou and Quzhuo to Ciyao wanted to escape for their lives, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky!

The town of magnetic kiln is named after the site of the ancient magnetic kiln in the Tang and Song dynasties. In the seventh year of Han Gaozu, Juping County was governed and belonged to Taishan County. During the Sui Dynasty, Juping County was merged into Ningyang County and still belonged to Taishan County. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were Taiping Town, Taiping Fort and Juping Town. At this time, the Ciyao Town Railway Station is still called East Taiping Station, and the history of East Taiping Station was renamed Ciyao Railway Station in 1949 when it was rebuilt. Now, because Liu Yimin came through time, many geographical terms he is called the name of later generations, and the title of Ciyao Town Railway Station is very distinctive, not easy to be confused with other places, and the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance system is also accustomed to replacing East Taiping Station with Ciyao Station.

Ciyao Town has been a traffic artery since ancient times. In the Tang and Song dynasties, there was a north-south post road, and in the Song and Yuan dynasties, there were two official horse avenues. Especially in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the business here was prosperous, and there were many shops, and it was an important post station on the Beijing tool road leading directly to Daming Mansion.

Because it is located at the midpoint from Beijing to Nanjing, it is called Zhongjing. At this time, Ciyao Town is still a traffic artery, there are not only railway bridges and highway bridges on the Wen River, but also a stone bridge of the Ming Dynasty with a strange architectural style.

Wenshui sunset, Wenkou Gudu, avenue thoroughfare, merchants gathered, the four major landscapes of the ancient magnetic kiln have long become people's memories under the iron hooves of the Japanese invasion.

After the Japanese army captured the magnetic kiln, due to the important traffic location here, there has always been a stronghold here, and it is stationed by a squadron of the Japanese army's Jinpu Road garrison in peacetime, and there are also pseudo police stations, self-defense regiments, security teams and other pseudo-armed forces. After the Battle of Taixi of the Eighth Route Army, all the Japanese puppet garrisons of the original magnetic kiln disappeared. The current Japanese puppet army in Ciyao was re-stationed by the old brigade of the Japanese army after Liu Yimin led the army south.

Originally, if Suzuki Keihisa commanded the Japanese army to break through strongly, Zhang Haitao's Tai'an detachment might not be able to stay. Because Keihisa Suzuki has an elite infantry wing on hand, as well as an artillery brigade and several tanks and armored vehicles. However, the Japanese army was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would be ambushed in the field by breaking through at night, and lost the opportunity. Compared with the Eighth Route Army's armored clusters catching up, the chance of breaking through is completely gone.

No, after Liu Yimin and Gao Yuan led the armored regiment, the 1st Brigade, and the heavy machine gun regiment arrived, they quickly used the tanks of the armored regiment and the armored vehicles of the 1st and 2nd regiments of the armored regiment as attack arrows, tore apart the defense of the Japanese puppet army, and began to divide and outflank the Japanese puppet army.

Keihisa Suzuki is not a fool, he has been in battle for a long time and knows how to fight. When he discovered the long river of lights in the armored cluster of the Eighth Route Army, Keihisa Suzuki knew that he was in trouble and immediately ordered the artillery brigade to start shelling to intercept the Eighth Route Army.

This is the plain, or the old battlefield of the Eighth Route Army, not only did the Tai'an detachment send people to guide, Zhao Yonggang's second special operations squadron, the reconnaissance company of the first brigade and the reconnaissance platoon of each regiment all played the task of leading the army forward, and the huge Eighth Route Army convoy completed the army formation near Ciyao Town, and attacked by separate routes.

The Japanese artillery shells were fast, and the tanks, armored vehicles, and cars of the Eighth Route Army were also fast. The headlights illuminated the four fields brightly, and the Japanese positions were clear. Tank guns, vehicle-mounted machine guns, and infantry guns, mortars, and grenadiers mounted on the cars behind them all fired as they went, and the iron stream was rolling towards the devil's position, and soon began to be interspersed.
