Chapter 322: The Wind Rises in Shandong (1)

The high-profile appearance of the anti-Japanese hoe jiān team made the situation in Liaocheng more and more chaotic. For a time, the Liaocheng Garrison Command could be said to be full of rumors, and as long as the troops that could be sent out, large and small, were dispatched, and the defensive forces of all urban defense areas were greatly strengthened. However, from time to time, there was still news that pro-Japanese businessmen, big Han jiān, and big local tyrants were exterminated by their whole families, and the anti-Japanese situation in Shandong improved significantly in a short period of time. Many of the gangsters who were not guilty of deep sins fled from the battle sequence of the puppet army, after all, when Han Jiān was just to mix a mouthful of food. Now there is such a group of mysterious people who come and go, and there is no guarantee that one day they will not even be able to see the sun the next day. Who dares to mix on such a day, so every day there is a phenomenon of puppet soldiers fleeing.

Of course, these are not things that Han Yunhua can consider, and he is also anxious now. There has been no news from Wang Zhifu's side, and Han Yunhua himself is also very worried about sitting in Jingyanggang. During this time, all the divisions were under the attention of the Japanese army, and although there were no large-scale battles with the Japanese army, skirmishes did occur from time to time. At this time, the Japanese army seemed to have known that a group of Eighth Route Army had arrived in Shandong, or thought that the Eighth Route Army, which had been active in Shandong, had revived. However, these Han Yunhua are not too worried, after all, those who should come will come, and escape is not a way.

Now Han Yunhua is brewing a big plan, he wants to take the entire Liaocheng as his battlefield, he wants to mobilize the Japanese puppet army in the entire Shandong to fight, and finally achieve a great victory in annihilating one or two brigades of the enemy. But all of this still needs the cooperation of Wang Zhifu, although Wang Zhifu is only dealing with an infantry squadron equipped with cavalry and chariots, but Han Yunhua knows that the significance of this battle is very significant. This ambush can be said to be the key to the Eighth Route Army in Shandong to turn passive into active, and it is also the prelude to the Eighth Route Army in Shandong to open the curtain of Shandong.

Han Yunhua held a pencil in his hand, leaned on the table and drew on the map, calculating the outcome of the battle. But no matter how you calculate, there is a burst of irritability in my heart, and this irritability has appeared for no reason since Wang Zhifu's department left. Just as Han Yunhua's thoughts were flying, a guard member walked in and reported: "Division commander, a brigade and a regiment are in an emergency, please take a look." ”

Han Yunhua took the telegram in the hands of the guards and quickly read it, the telegram was not long, and he finished reading it in less than a minute. Han Yunhua breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Ju Fei beside him: "The first brigade commander did a good job in this battle, with this battle, we will be able to handle it next, and the situation in Shandong can be regarded as a new one." ”

Ju Fei picked up the telegram that Han Yunhua put on the table and read it carefully, only to see that only a short sentence was written on it: "Our unit has gathered and annihilated the enemy, and has gained a lot of casualties, and the troops have entered the expected area in accordance with the instructions of the leader and are on standby." ”

The strategic decision to lay out Shandong was made by Ju Fei and others together with Han Yunhua, so Ju Fei and others also knew very well how important it was to ambush the Japanese army and take over the small forces in Yanggu County this time.

Ju Fei couldn't help but say loudly: "Great, Lao Wang did a good job in this battle, and the little devil strengthened the infantry brigade and died like this." And his own casualties are not large, hehehe, the commander is really looking for the right person to do this with Lao Wang. At the very least, it is almost impossible for the Second Regiment to do such a brilliant thing, and I really don't know how they destroyed those two little devils' chariots. ”

"Hehehe, okay, don't praise him, you're doing a good job here. In this battle, everyone works together, thinking in one place, and working hard in one place, the little devil can be regarded as difficult. Don't really say it, if you don't say it, I really don't know how the first regiment destroyed those two tanks. I know very well the weapons and equipment of their regiment, and they are not much better than the second regiment that stayed behind. Han Yunhua also said curiously.

In fact, it's no wonder that Han Yunhua is so curious, after all, there are only a few ways to deal with chariots in this era. If a large number of infantry were to protect it, the power of the chariot would be unbelievable. In that case, it would not be easy to destroy it even with anti-aircraft artillery. Not to mention the ordinary infantry regiment of the Eighth Route Army like the First Regiment, if you really want to fight, even if the first regiment really annihilates the small force of the Japanese army, it will pay a lot of price.

Wang Zhifu's method is actually nothing, it is very dirty. He ordered his troops to dig two huge pits in the avenue, and the pits were filled with mines and bombs, and it would be no good to fall into them anyway. In order not to make the enemy suspicious, especially when a unit like the Japanese army, which has a lot of combat experience, always sends a small unit to open the way in front, and this small unit of the Japanese army is also equipped with a cavalry squad, and it would be a fool's nay for the Japanese army not to use such an advantage. Therefore, Wang Zhifu was very careful when arranging the trap, otherwise the enemy's chariot would have been discovered by the Japanese cavalry before it was seen, which would have been a shame and thrown to his grandmother's house. ,

Wang Zhifu took advantage of the heavy self-weight characteristics of the Japanese chariot and arranged a large amount of solid wood on the trap, even if the infantry or even the cavalry walked over, nothing would happen, but if the chariot ran over, it would be a lot of fun. In order to destroy both tanks of the Japanese army in one fell swoop, Wang Zhifu also took great pains. He made the first trap very strong, even if the chariot really ran over it, there would be no accident, at most it would crush a few support columns, but it would definitely not collapse immediately, but it would definitely not be able to withstand the crushing of the second chariot.

Therefore, when the Japanese chariot arrived at Song Village under the escort of the infantry cavalry of the brigade, although the cavalry walking in the front was very vigilant, they did not find anything abnormal. There was no accident when the first chariot ran over the trap, but when the first chariot had just passed less than five seconds, the moment the second chariot pressed the trap, only a "boom" was heard, and a huge dirt pit suddenly appeared on the originally flat avenue. The huge explosion threw the wreckage of the chariot into the air, killing and injuring a large number of little devils when it fell. Just when the Japanese army was ignorant and demented, only another violent explosion was heard, and the second tank was scrapped.

At this time, the commander of the Japanese army reacted and shouted loudly: "Baga, the enemy is attacking, there is an ambush." ”

The soldiers of a regiment that had been lying in ambush on the side quickly attacked, and the long and short guns and several mortars of different calibers opened fire at the same time, and for a time the guns outside Song Village shook the sky.

The results of the battle were self-evident, although the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was generally much stronger than that of the Eighth Route Army, one side came prepared, and the other side responded to the battle in a hurry. One side is outnumbered, and the other side is outnumbered. The battle lasted only a dozen minutes, and the Japanese army was completely defeated.

As for the cavalry squad of the Japanese army, Wang Zhifu sent an infantry platoon composed of excellent marksmanship of the whole regiment to solve the problem, and by 10 o'clock in the morning of the 24th, the infantry squadron of the Japanese army was completely annihilated, and none of them escaped the net.

Soon after this small Japanese force was annihilated, the garrison headquarters of the Japanese army in Liaocheng reacted quite quickly. Soon Major General Nagami Nobuno received the news that the Itagaki squadron was completely annihilated by the squadron, and after reading the telegram sent by the guards, Major General Nagami Nobuno was taken aback, an infantry squadron was wiped out without even being able to support it for half a day, and it is unknown how many people the enemy dispatched. Nagasui Nobuno did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent a report to Lieutenant General Odaka Kamizo in Jinan, and reported the matter in detail.

Jinan, the headquarters of the Japanese occupation forces.

There were only four people seated in a conference room at the University of Nuoda, and at the top of the table was Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo, commander of the Japanese Twelfth Army, next to Odaka Kamezo was Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi, commander of the Japanese Fifth Division, followed by Major General Kikui, chief of staff of the Japanese Twelfth Army, and at the outermost of the conference room was a Nakasa wearing a strange military uniform.

"Gentlemen, everyone has seen the telegram sent by Changshuijun, what do you think, tell me!" Ogaka Kamizo said solemnly.

Major General Kikui, Chief of Staff of the Twelfth Army, was the first to speak: "Your Excellency, Commander, I think this is a sign of the rise of the resistance forces in China. At the beginning of the year, the warriors of the Japanese Empire won a battle in Shandong, and wiped out all the Chinese armed forces who dared to resist. However, because the Chinese people, especially the group of Eight Roads who could only drill into the ravine, were too cunning, so our army only wiped out their main force after losing part of the troops, and the remaining troops of about one infantry brigade fled to Hebei and other places. The lowly government thought that the series of wars that occurred during this period should be caused by these people, so the lowly official thought that we must strengthen our precautions. ”

"Yo Xi, what Kikui-kun said makes a lot of sense. There is an old saying in China that makes a lot of sense: 'If you cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the chūn wind blows and grows.' I have already sent a telegram to General Binshan Yuan for the group of Chinese troops who fled to Hebei and northern Jiangsu, hoping that he can coordinate with several other lieutenant generals to help us clean up. Now it seems that the effect should not be ideal, except for these people, I really can't think of anyone else who can oppose the great Japanese Empire at this time, how can the majesty of our Great Japanese Empire be offended by a few small Shina earth monkeys, it's just Yaga............." Ogaka Kamizo said with some anger. ,

Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Anto, commander of the Fifth Division, suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency, Commander, I still have some questions about the origin of these people. First of all, the luàn bureau in Liaocheng began to appear two or three months ago, from those bandits at the beginning to the Huyan family later, and then to the current mysterious armed forces. I think this is all made by a single army, and this force is likely to be the Eighth Route Army of China, which I think is similar to what the commander and Kikui-kun thought. But I don't think these people should be the one that was defeated by us, because that branch of the Eighth Route Army has been severely damaged by our army, and it is light to say that it is a serious injury to the muscles and bones, and it is impossible to fully recover in such a short period of time. As for the combat effectiveness shown by this mysterious unit that suddenly appeared is not at all like what a heavily battered unit can show, so I think this branch of the army should be a sharp force mobilized from other battlefields, I wonder what Your Excellency the Commander thinks? ”

Don't say it, this Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando really has a set, and he guesses that he is not far from ten. Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo was very important to Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, so he also attached great importance to his opinion, thought about it, turned to the infantry Nakasa who was sitting at the bottom of the conference room and asked, "Yanagi-kun, what is your opinion?" ”

The infantryman known as Yanagi Nakasa frowned and said, "Your Excellency Commander Ando's advice is very creative and very inspiring to me. This branch of the army should not be the remnants of the defeated army that was defeated by our army, but should be the Jīng Rui troops transferred from Chōu in Jinchaji or Saibei and other places by the ** army. And after this period of analysis, I found a terrible phenomenon, the anti-Japanese hoe jiān team active in various counties and cities in Liaocheng is very unusual, much stronger than the combat effectiveness of the ordinary Chinese troops, and there seems to be a little shadow of special forces. Although this shadow is weak, it gives me a bad premonition. ”

"Special forces! Han Yunhua! ……”

"Inner Mongolia Military Region ....... China Han Yunhua ......"

A senior officer in the conference room was suddenly shocked, and even Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, who had always been unfazed, was also surprised, Han Yunhua's prestige was too great. Now the Imperial Japanese Army in the northern part of the country will tremble when they hear this name, whether it is leaving no prisoners, stripping the dead of their clothes, or cutting off the heads of all the Japanese soldiers who died in the war, it is not acceptable for the Japanese army.

"It shouldn't be given to him, this mysterious force should be given and has nothing to do with Han Yunhua in Saibei. After all, the combat methods of these people are not at all similar to the devil in Saibei, and they are far less terrifying than the Zhina troops in Saibei. My father and his special operations team and Han Yunhua of China have been in trouble several times, so my father has a certain understanding of Han Yunhua and his troops. In my father's eyes, that devil was more terrible than the German instructor he met in Germany, but these people were far less terrible than Han Yunhua in Saibei in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will. Besides, Han Yunhua should still be in Saibei now, how can he appear in Shandong. According to reliable intelligence, Han Yunhua's new wife Li Yuhan is pregnant, and it is even more impossible for Han Yunhua to leave the Saibei area at this time. I forgot to tell everyone that this general of China loves his wife beyond the imagination of ordinary people. These people remind me of another branch of China! Yanagi said solemnly.
