Chapter 983: Ming Di
After the end of the Luzhong Campaign, when the Eighth Route Army taught the Seventh Brigade to attack and occupy Qingdao, the Japanese Qingdao Garrison and the puppet army Zhang Zong's aid department had been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in the night battle of Fangzi, Qingdao only had a small number of Japanese marines, without the slightest defense, the Eighth Route Army used special tactics to guide the troops into the urban area of Qingdao, killing pigs and sheep, and killing the Japanese troops in Qingdao City cleanly. http://

After the Japanese army reoccupied Qingdao, it changed its arrogance in the past, and conscientiously deployed Qingdao's defense, relying on the Jiaoji Railway, Jiqing Highway, Yanqing Highway and other communication lines and the northeastern mountainous area, three lines of defense were set up in the periphery of Qingdao, the first line of defense from Jiaoxian to Jimo to Aoshanwei by the sea, the defensive fulcrum west of Jimo City is Mashan, the defensive fulcrum north of Jimo City is Lingshan and Shangtuan, and the defense fulcrum east of Jimo City is Mengwang Mountain, Duan Mountain, Lianhuā Mountain, Sishe Mountain, and the core position is in Woluozi Village, Damiao Mountain: The second line of defense from Chengyang to Danshan and Laoshan Mountain, Danshan is the core of the entire second line of defense, the defensive fulcrum north of Danshan is Taming Tiger Mountain, Houwang Mountain and Scorpion Mountain, and the east is based on the Tieqi Mountain of Laoshan as the defensive fulcrum: the third line of defense is from Cangkou Li Village to Shazikou by the sea, and the defensive fulcrum is Loushan and Laohushan in the north of Cangkou.

If the Fifth Division or the Guards Division were still stationed in Qingdao, relying on these three lines of defense to defend to the death, with the Japanese army's equipment, individual quality, and comprehensive combat effectiveness, the Eighth Route Army would have to make great efforts to capture Qingdao again, and there would be no need to think about it at all if it didn't take three or five days. Because special tactics are not omnipotent, the elite divisions of the Japanese army are holding on to the danger of danger, and the Eighth Route Army should not attack Qingdao without concentrating five times the enemy's strength. This is also when the Fifth Division and the Guards Division were stationed in Qingdao, Liu Yimin never considered the issue of capturing Qingdao, and the degree of casualties can be imagined, and Liu Yimin did not do that kind of business.
Historically, Qingdao was the rear of the Japanese army, and all divisions and regiments of the Japanese army were transported back to China through Qingdao, Tianjin, and Shanghai through several major ports for recuperation. In peacetime, the Japanese army defended Qingdao with a huge number of troops, in addition to the garrison of a brigade and regiment, there were also a large number of puppet troops stationed in the peripheral areas, Zhang Zongyuan's troops and Zhao Baoyuan's troops were the servant troops of the Japanese army guarding Qingdao. For this reason, the Japanese Fifth Division was stationed in Qingdao when there was no combat mission, which was convenient for shipping to support various battlefields, until the Fifth Division was transferred to the South China Front Army after participating in the Battle of Guinan, and the Japanese army also transferred divisions and regiments to Qingdao from time to time. From the beginning of the war when the Japanese army captured Qingdao until the surrender of the Japanese army, the ** team was never able to attack Qingdao again.
Now and unlike in history, Zhang Zongyuan, Zhao Baoyuan, and Zhang Buyun were all sent to hell by the Eighth Route Army early, and the Han people in Qingdao were basically cleaned up by the Eighth Route Army when they first attacked and occupied Qingdao.
The Japanese troops stationed in Qingdao were dwarfed by the cooperation of the puppet army.
The Japanese army also knew that it would be difficult to ensure the safety of Qingdao by relying solely on the independent mixed 18th Brigade and the Qingdao garrison and marines stationed in Jiaoxian to defend Qingdao. Because Shandong's Eighth Route Army is not another [China] ** team, Liu Yimin is very bold, and he doesn't know when and where he will come out of here and strike a thunderous blow at Qingdao. Therefore, when the North China Front Army was the commander of Shanshanyuan and Yamashita Fengfumi and Muto Akira were the chief and deputy chiefs of staff, they wanted to deliberately show weakness in Qingdao, lead Liu Yimin to attack Qingdao, and gather the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Qingdao area. Helplessly, Liu Yimin was not fooled, and the Japanese army had to give up this plan... The Second Brigade of the First Guards Division and the Heavy Artillery Brigade could only be allowed to garrison the island and strengthen the Qingdao garrison.
Due to the heavy encirclement and suppression of Shandong by the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army in Jiaodong, southeast Lu, Luzhong, Jiaolai, and Qinghe was driven by the Japanese army to hide in Tibet, either drilling tunnels or entering the mountains, Qingdao became the real rear of the Japanese army, and the "inserted" heavy materials transported from the mainland and the northeast were anchored and unloaded in Qingdao Port one by one, supporting hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops to rampage in Shandong. Not to mention that the Fifth Division, the Second Brigade of the First Guards Division, and the Heavy Artillery Brigade were all withdrawn to join the heavy army group to pursue and suppress the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and even the Qingdao garrison and the independent mixed 18th Brigade and Regiment stationed in Jiaoxian County were also red-eyed, and in accordance with the orders of the North China Front Army and the 12th Army, they actively organized a sweep of the food, cotton, silkworm cocoons, and livestock of the people in the surrounding areas of Qingdao.
They were all busy taking advantage of the opportunity of the heavy army group to sweep Shandong and go to the countryside to sweep and loot, and no one would have thought that Qingdao would be in any danger at this time. In addition to the urban area of Qingdao, the suburban county seat, and the Jimo county, where there were still Japanese troops to maintain normal law and order, and the Japanese troops on the Jiaoji Road and Jiqing Highway to protect the communication lines were not dispatched, the Qingdao garrison and the marines stationed in Qingdao, the 18th Brigade and the Jiaoji Road garrison stationed in Jiaoxian County were all happily dispatched to participate in the battle against Jiaodong,
Lu southeast and Jiaolai's sweep dàng, for fear that they would not be able to grab food, golden tickets and huā girls if they went late.
The three lines of defense of the Japanese army were in vain, and the huge Qingdao became an empty city again!
When he received Liu Yimin's telegram order, Li Qing, commander of the Qinghe Military Region of the Eighth Route Army and commander of the Third Brigade of Jiao, was playing chess with the presiding monk Yiren in the Dashi Temple on the west mountain of Shiwan Village, Shazikou Town, Laoshan Mountain!
The Japanese could never have dreamed that long before they launched a heavy sweep, Liu Yimin ordered the three main brigades that launched an attack on Jiaoji Road in order to cooperate with the Lunan Campaign to hide around Qingdao.
It's just that he didn't enter Laoshan Mountain, and later because the Japanese army was too large and the search was too meticulous, Li Qingcai led the troops into the Laoshan Mountains. The world is so wonderful, the Japanese army is sweeping around to search for the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the three elite main brigades of the Shandong Eighth Route Army are hidden in the Laoshan Mountains between the second and third lines of the Japanese army's Qingdao defense line.
Not only is it the Eighth Route Army, but there is also another anti-Japanese armed force hidden in this Laoshan mountainous area, which is the independent battalion of the Ludong Administration led by Li Xianliang, director of the Kuomintang Ludong Administration and mayor of Qingdao. This is a glorious force, formerly known as the demolition brigade established by Shen Honglie on July 1, 1937 in Zhujiawa Village, Licun District...... The reason why Shen Honglie was able to burn down the top ten Japanese-funded factories in Qingdao with an order back then relied on this demolition brigade. Because a fire not only burns the boilers and machinery in the Japanese-funded factories, but also has to be blown up with explosives. Later, when Shen Honglie evacuated Qingdao and went south to Xuzhou, he encountered the Japanese army at Linyi Seventy Lipu. Some members of the demolition brigade returned to Qingdao and got in touch with Sun Shi'an, Zhu Jihong, Yu Mingjiu, and Yu Fazhang, who remained in Qingdao to persist in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and established the third brigade directly under the second column of the Kuomintang Fifth Theater Guerrilla Command in the Yuqing Palace in Laoshan. The composition is mainly composed of demolition brigades and textile workers, but also some farmers and primary school teachers. Captain Sun Shi'an and political instructor Zhu Naihong. Wang Zizhong, the commander of the first company, and Wang Liqi, the commander of the second company. The platoon commanders were Qu Zhiwei, Wang Quanhe, Yu Chengfang, etc., with a total of more than 300 people and more than 200 guns, and began to use Laoshan as a base to fight against the Japanese invaders. Some time ago, Li Xianliang was appointed director of the Ludong Administration and mayor of Qingdao, and this unit was called the independent battalion of the Ludong Agency, also known as the Laoshan Guerrilla Force.
Historically, this force has grown and grown. It became the Qingdao Security Corps, did not surrender or compromise in the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, continued to carry out guerrilla warfare, and made a great reputation. By the eve of the surrender of the Japanese army, the strength had expanded to 6,000 men. After the surrender of the Japanese army, this unit was successively renamed the Qingdao Security Division and the Qingdao Security Brigade, and finally became the cannon fodder of the Kuomintang. Now, of course, history has changed. The strength of the Shandong Eighth Route Army is so strong, it is difficult to say what the future direction of this army will be.
This Laoshan Mountain rises on the seaside, called the fairy mountain on the sea, and the scenery is very beautiful. Pity. The three main brigades were sheltered here, and they could not be supplied, and they were all eaten by the grain carried by the heavy troops and the dry food brought by the soldiers, and it was very cold in winter, where did such a large-scale army go to find so many villages and houses to spend the night, Li Qing had no choice but to move the headquarters into the Dashi Temple and come to partner with the monk Yiren.
Chen Dayong, Zhao Shan's Seventh Brigade Headquarters, and Eighth Brigade Headquarters are also in the Taoist temples and monasteries in Laoshan Mountain.
This big stone temple is located in the mountain stream of Heijian Mountain, the stream is deep and the water is clear, there are many trees, and there are many types of trees, which is mainly because the incense is sheng, there are many wandering monks who come and go, and they bring tree species from other places, such as salt support wood, strange jujubes, etc., and even the big ginkgo tree also parasitizes a "car sorghum"
As for the tree, the wood is particularly hard, and the axle of a wheelbarrow, the wagon is best.
The temple is not big, there are only three main halls, and there are wing rooms in the east and west. Because it was hidden in a tree-lined mountain stream, the Japanese army swept the dàng several times, but did not find this place. The temple is small in the temple, but the incense before the war is extremely prosperous, and it belongs to the temple of "the temple is small and the gods are big". Especially on the 14th day of the first lunar month every year, the temple fair is even more lively, and even the good men and women in Qingdao city come to catch the incense. After Li Qing moved the brigade headquarters, the presiding monk Yiren and the four monks were all squeezed into one room, and the rest of the room was all given to the Eighth Route Army. Li Qing set up the headquarters of the Third Brigade in the main hall. Unable to live in this, the soldiers of the guard company could only make shacks with firewood and grass against the wall outside the temple to barely avoid the cold.
The brigade headquarters is located in the main hall, but it cannot affect the normal activities of the monks to worship the Buddha. After going back and forth, Li Qing actually got into a relationship with the kind and kind monk Yiren. As soon as this person was familiar, he was not so evasive, and the commander of the Qinghe Military Region of the Eighth Route Army actually became chess friends with the main well of the small Dashi Temple.
Li Qing was also depressed, seeing that the Japanese army was attacking cities and seizing land in Qinghe, Jiaolai, Luzhong, and Jiaodong, showing off their might, and basically occupying the base areas, the Jinan Garrison Brigade, the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade and various local armed forces could only break through and transfer constantly in the sweep of the Japanese army, and the blood stained the land of Shandong. However, the top pillar in the minds of the people of Qinghe, Jiaolai, and Jiaodong, and the elite of our army, the Third Brigade, the Seventh Brigade, and the Eighth Brigade, were hiding in this Laoshan Mountain and were starving and cold, and they couldn't blink. What kind of battle is this "milk" and "milk"! However, several times he asked the commander for instructions to attack Qingdao or join the anti-sweeping battlefield, but the commander refused, and the telegram was sealed and called back with an order to wait in hiding around Qingdao. Standby standby, when will this fighter come!
This is the fundamental reason why Li Qing and Monk Yiren became friends.
Monk Yiren is an orphan adopted by the previous presiding monk of Dashi Temple, Haijing, whose home is in Shiwan Village, commonly known as Yilun, and he became a monk in Dashi Temple when he grew up, and his legal name is Yiren. After the death of the monk Haijing, he inherited the mantle of the master and became the presiding officer of the small Dashi Temple, managing 60 acres of temple land, and leading four monks to eat and pray for Buddha.
Li Qing is a stinky chess basket. It is not the opponent of the monk Yiren at all, and he played more than a dozen games in the morning, not making a match, not winning a game, all of which is a "lose" word.
Li Qing was a little unconvinced, and pulled Monk Yiren to play another game. Two people just started the stance, one called the head cannon, the other shouted to jump: one called the attacker, and the other shouted the flying elephant. Just as he was about to set up a position to fight, the confidential staff officer shouted a report outside the door. Li Qing didn't raise his head, shouted "come in", and continued to wonder whether to make a head horse and give full play to the power of the head cannon.
When Li Qing heard the report of the No. 1 emergency telegram, Li Qing could no longer care about the nose cannon and the pan-headed horse, so he picked up the telegram and looked at it, and there were only two words on it: "Ming Di!" ”
Li Qing had no intention of playing chess, pushed the chessboard and said to the monk Yiren: "No, no!" After saying that, he got up and asked the staff officer to leave.
"Mingdi" is the code name for the operation to capture Qingdao, that is, Li Qing was ordered to command the 3rd, 7th, and 8th Brigades to immediately capture Qingdao.
Qingdao's terrain was very familiar to the Eighth Route Army, especially the Seventh Brigade, which attacked and occupied Qingdao at that time, and later circled Qingdao many times, threatening the Japanese army, and was well aware of the defensive line and fortification deployment of the Japanese army outside Qingdao. Battle plan... It's already been decided to wait for the commander's telegram!
After Li Qing returned to the room borrowed by the brigade headquarters, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lao Tzu has finally come out!" This Laoshan, I won't come if you invite me again, Lao Tzu is really hungry and cold! ”
Not only Li Qing's three main brigades, but more than 40,000 people, which one is not hungry? Because they didn't know how long they would hide here, the troops limited their rations, which was six taels of food per person per day, and the cadres and soldiers were screaming with hunger. Moreover, it was cold in the winter by the sea, and there were not so many houses for the warriors to live in.
Let's make a cave, this Laoshan is a stone mountain again, and it can't be a cave. The soldiers could only take turns sleeping in the house, and many of them had to rely on back-to-back and snuggling up to each other for warmth, for fear of being discovered by the Japanese army, and the troops could not make fires. Since the reorganization of the Red Eighteenth Regiment on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, Liu Yimin's troops have become stronger and stronger, fighting battles in which they have captured large and small ones, and they have also opened the country in Chengdu, Xi'an, Taiyuan, Tianjin, Qingdao, Jinan, and other big cities.
There is no need to bring Chen Dayong and Zhao Shan to the meeting, it is a waste of time. Although it is daytime, there is a cover of mountainous areas, and the troops can move safely with proper camouflage. Li Qing sent a telegram directly to Chen Dayong and Zhao Shan, ordering immediate action, advancing to the predetermined target in accordance with the battle plan, and attacking Qingdao on all fronts at G o'clock in the evening!
After sending a telegram to Chen Dayong and Zhao Shan, Li Qing sent a telegram to all regiments of the Third Brigade, ordering all units to move immediately and advance toward the predetermined target according to the battle formation, and to start the whole line at 6 p.m.
After giving the order, Li Qing ordered the brigade headquarters to start moving forward.
The big stone temple became nervous when he landed. The cadres and fighters were busy dismantling the radio antenna, packing up maps and documents, and preparing to set off as a team.
When Li Qing packed up, stepped out of the house, and was about to leave, Monk Yiren waited at the door with a chessboard, saying that he must finish this game of chess.
Looking at the pious face of Monk Yiren, Li Qing stopped, pulled Monk Yiren into the house, and the two of them caught and killed again.
This is really a strange scene, the battle is about to begin, the troops have already begun to move, but the commander-in-chief of the Qingdao front is playing chess with the monks. If this spreads, I don't know if people will say that Li Qing is ridiculous or that he is elegant and calm.
This time Li Qing went very smoothly, seized the opportunity to eat the horse of the Yiren monk stepping on the second pawn, and took advantage of the troops, and then fought with the Yiren monk to fight a car, and the cannon was the leader, and when the Yiren monk found out that it was dangerous to return to the car to catch the head gun, Li Qing began to lie in the groove general. After all morning, Li Qing finally won in the last hand.
Li Qing laughed, said "Monk, there will be a period later", got up and strode out of the house, turned over outside the door, and galloped down the mountain.
Monk Yiren sent it to the gate, and when he saw Li Qing and them walking away, he couldn't stop twisting his beard and smiling.
A little monk said, "Master, did you just deliberately let this '''?"
Monk Yiren whispered: "Nan Wutong Buddha Buddha!" The Buddha said, "Don't say it, don't say it!" ”
The little monk hurriedly put his palm in front of Xiong, whispered two sentences of "Nan Wu Amitabha", and then raised his head and said, "Master, didn't you say that the family doesn't speak?" I see that when the benefactor of the Eighth Route Army ate your horse just now, you could obviously steal and eat his car, isn't this what is it? ”
Monk Yiren proclaimed again: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!" Sins, sins, sins! This benefactor is a general of the Eighth Route Army, and he sent the little devil to Abi Hell. Just now he left in a hurry, and he hurried away, obviously to fight. After more than a dozen games in the morning, the master was lucky to win, which was easy to discourage the benefactor of the Eighth Route Army and was not conducive to commanding the war. Before the battle, winning the game is a good sign and a sign of victory. Remember, people outside the party also have to understand the world in order to carry forward Buddhism. ”
The little monk then whispered, "Master, I remember." ”
It was impossible for Li Qing to know the conversation between the master and apprentice at the gate of Dashi Temple, and at this moment, tens of thousands of horses and horses of the three main brigades hidden in the Laoshan Mountains all began to act with his order.
Wind Thunder jidàng!。
