Chapter 569: Blood Rain Comes to Wet Battle Robes (3)

PS: There was a power outage in the community last night, and the mountain people have been waiting for a call after coming home from work. Called to inquire about the power supply duty, and replied that it was being repaired, and the power was coming about an hour later. Who knew that this wait was overnight, and there was no electricity until now. When I got up in the morning and turned on the computer in the office, I was dizzy, and I was kicked off the monthly ticket list, and the mountain people were so depressed that they were speechless, so they had to take no break at noon and ask for tickets in the office

Gu Shoufu couldn't have imagined that the Eighth Route Army used this method to break the city, his face was full of incredulity, and people became stupid.

Guan Guizhi also looked stupid. However, he was not as arrogant as Gu Shoufu, who had been the commander of the Sixth Division, and when he saw that the Eighth Route Army had entered the city in a big way, with so many tanks and armored vehicles, Guan Guizhi was sure in his heart that Jinan was finished, and all the deployments had turned into paper paste under the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army. Break with a single stab. At this time, he already understood that it was too late to say anything, and even retreating had become a dream, and the fate of Odaka Kamizo, Shimoto Kumaya, and Ganji Jutaro was waiting for him

Guan Guizhi wanted to pull Gu Shoufu out of the castle tower as soon as possible, the target of the castle tower was too big, maybe the artillery of the Eighth Route Army was resting on the correct parameters, and it would soon shell the castle tower. This stretched out his hand to pull, and Guan Guizhi found that there was a puddle of wet water under the feet of Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu.

The dignified Imperial Japanese Army Lieutenant General, Commander of the Twelfth Army, and the arrogant and murderous Tani Toshio was scared to pee his pants

It's not that Gu Shoufu is timid, when has this guy ever been timid? The key is that the firepower and tactics of the Eighth Route Army are far beyond his cognitive level, which makes him unacceptable.

At the time of the Jinan tragedy, Gu Shoufu's predecessor and former commander of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, Fukuda Hikosuke, made waves in Jinan, playing with the dog meat general Zhang Zongchang and the negotiators of the Northern Expeditionary Army, slaughtering more than 17,000 soldiers and civilians in Jinan, in an attempt to prevent the reunification of China with the strength of one division. Later, Gu Shoufu led the Sixth Division to burn, kill, and loot in China, committing heinous crimes. A big reason for this situation is that in the view of Fukuda Hikosuke and Tani Toshio and others, China is too far behind Japan, and the squadron is not the opponent of the Japanese army at all, and they beat the Chinese like adults beat children.

Now things are reversed, seeing that the main firepower of the instructor is so fierce, and in the blink of an eye, the strong Jinan city defense has been beaten to a pulp, how to teach Gu Shoufu how not to pee his pants?

Besides, all the murderous people are murderous when they slaughter others with butcher knives, and if the butcher's knife were to their necks, they would be even more loose than ordinary people. This is the same as those corrupt officials throughout the ages, teaching people while receiving gifts, pretending to be true, once the East Window incident happens, those guys will be as soft as snot and egg, eager to explain themselves and their wives' affairs.

Guan Guizhi didn't care about laughing at Gu Shoufu, so he pulled him away.

Guan Guizhi moved quickly, and pulled Gu Shoufu off the city tower with three and two rolls, stumbled down the city wall, and fled to the headquarters.

As soon as the two Japanese lieutenant generals fled from the inner city wall, the shells of the Eighth Route Army followed, and smashed fiercely on the east gate of the inner city, on the city wall, and at the root of the city wall.

The headquarters of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army is located in the Jiaoji Road Hotel, Outside the West Gate of Jinan. It is a German-style building that originally sold Western food. When the Japanese army first committed the Jinan tragedy, it set up its headquarters here. When Nishio Shouzo served as the commander of the Second Army, he also took a fancy to the advantages of the Jiaoji Road Hotel's rigorous structure and ease of garrison, and it was still used as the headquarters station.

After returning to the headquarters of the 12th Army, he was safe for the time being, Gu Shoufu's urine was dripping, his mood was also stable, and the old devil was going to do evil again.

After Kobayashi Asaburo, chief of staff of the 12th Army, reported to Gu Shoufu about the large-scale artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army, he was reprimanded by Gu Shoufu, stayed in the headquarters and did not go out, did not witness the majesty of the Eighth Route Army when it entered Jinan City, and knew that the Eighth Route Army artillery group was still bombarding the city wall, and was holding a telephone and ordering the defending troops to launch a counterattack on the gap, resolutely driving out the Eighth Route Army that broke through the gap and plugging the gap.

Putting down the phone, Kobayashi Asaburo no longer paid attention to the several phones on the table that jingled and screamed, and reported to Gu Shoufu: "Your Excellency Commander, the garrison reports that the Eighth Route Army has broken through the eastern wall of the outer city and is attacking and advancing in the direction of the inner city. In the south and north of the city, large troops of the Eighth Route Army were found. In the west, near Zhangzhuang Airport, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army was found moving rapidly. The key troops stationed in the southeast and south of the city reported that they were attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. The troops stationed in Dexian County reported that they were blocked by the Eighth Route Army in the process of reinforcement to the Luokou Bridge, and continued to attack after the arrival of follow-up troops. The commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi, demanded a report on the siege of the Eighth Route Army, and strictly ordered our troops to defend Jinan to ensure that Jinan was not lost. ”

Without waiting for Gu Shoufu to speak, Guan Kaoji angrily told Kobayashi Asaburo: "Kobayashi-kun, the Eighth Route Army did not break through the eastern city wall, but entered the city in a big way under the cover of a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and was about to enter the inner city, hit the commercial port, and hit the headquarters of the 12th Army." Jinan is finished, the 34th Division is finished, we are all finished, please report to the Earl of the temple immediately, and ask for permission to abandon the city and break through. Otherwise, we will all become prisoners of the Eighth Route Army"

Kobayashi Asaburo glared at Guan Kaoji, and his face was also incredible.

Gu Shoufu looked at Guan Kaoji and Kobayashi Asaburo coldly, and didn't care whether his urine was smoky or not, and said in a low voice: "Two, please retain a little dignity and decency of the Imperial Japanese Army, if you don't want to die and be captured, just cheer up your spirits and fight with Tsuchibachi."

When Guan Kamei Ji and Kobayashi Asaburo heard this, they were stunned.

Gu Shoufu, like Guan Guizhi, also recognized the irreversible situation of the war situation and the fact that Jinan was no longer guaranteed, but he had more combat experience than Guan Guizhi, and knew that the Eighth Route Army had been encircled at this time, and it could only be a fool's dream to break through. Of course, he also had luck in case of a successful breakthrough.

Gu Shoufu stared at his eyes that were as red as if he wanted to eat people, swept around the faces of Guan Kameji and Kobayashi Asaburo, and said viciously: "Kobayashi-kun, you immediately report to Commander Terauchi Shouichi that the Eighth Route Army has at least ten artillery regiments and one wing of tanks and armored vehicles, Jinan has been breached, and we are determined to repay His Majesty the Emperor with death and live and die with Jinan City." After sending the telegram, he called the head of the secret service, Ohashi Xiongxiong, and ordered him to command all the gendarmes, policemen, soldiers in the township, and personnel of various divisions and regiments stationed in Jinan to enter the battle, and the task was to sack Jinan and destroy Jinan. Whether it is set on fire or blown up with explosives, any method is fine, and the goal is to destroy all the shops, restaurants, factories, and banks in Jinan.

When Kobayashi Asaburo heard this, his blood swelled all over his body, and he "snapped" and stood upright: "Please rest assured that the commander will ensure the completion of the task" After speaking, he went to deploy.

Gu Shoufu said to Guan Guizhi again: "Guan Guijun, although the Tuba Road has strong firepower and strong troops, street fighting is the strength of the imperial army, as long as you enter the street battle, it is a short-handed battle, and no matter how many cannons there are, it is useless." Tell the soldiers, don't panic. The more panicked you are, the easier it is to be killed. Don't think about retreating, breaking through, our two legs can't outrun cars and war horses anyway. All troops were ordered to use the streets, fortifications, and buildings to calmly respond to the battle, and use grenades, explosive packs, bayonets, and Tubalu to fight to the death to block the Tubalu offensive. All units should act quickly, seize the Chinese as shields, and use the Chinese to block bullets for us. In the face of the resistance of the common people, the fire of all machine guns could not defeat the Eighth Route Army, could not defeat the unarmed people? Tell the soldiers that the number of civilians killed is also counted in the battle merit. Kill, kill me hard, as long as it is Chinese, including puppies and kittens, you can shoot them all"

When Gu Shoufu said this, Guan Kameji felt that His Excellency the Commander was simply a role model for Yamato warriors, and the image of peeing his pants just now was like two people. However, Guan Guizhi knew in his heart that if this order had been issued two hours earlier, it would be very likely that Jinan City would have been a human purgatory by now. It's a pity that the order was given too late, and the soldiers just wanted to rob, **, kill, and set fire again, and they didn't have time anymore. It's not safe to hide in the fortifications, where can you run out again to kill people and set fires, isn't that to send yourself to the muzzle of the Eighth Route Army? Therefore, he proposed: "Your Excellency, there is another way, please ask Your Excellency the Commander and Chief of Staff Kobayashi to break through immediately, and I will command the troops to defend Jinan and cover Your Excellency's breakthrough." ”

Gu Shoufu didn't want to break through and escape, the first problem was that he knew in his heart that he might not be able to run out, and second, he didn't dare to abandon the city and run away without an order. The difference is that if you can't escape, you will die at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and if you run away, you will die on the edict of His Majesty the Emperor ordering the disembowelment to apologize.

Gu Shoufu shook his head: "Guan Guijun, don't say such things again, I won't leave." You immediately ordered the defenders of the key points in the southeast and south of the city to rely on their positions, drag the first part of the Eighth Route Army, and reduce the pressure in Jinan. As long as we can hold out until dawn, no, hold out for a few hours, and the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade will be able to arrive and attack the Tu 8 Road."

Seeing that Gu Shoufu said so resolutely, Guan Guizhi couldn't say it anymore, so he directly picked up the phone in Gu Shoufu's office and began to command the troops to fight.

When Seki Kameji started to call, Kobayashi Asaburo came over with a lonely expression and reported that Ohashi Kumao's phone could not be reached, and the phones of the branches of the secret service in Jinan could not be reached, and it was likely that they had gone into hiding.

When Gu Shoufu heard this, he didn't understand what he meant, and asked Kobayashi Asaburo to report it again.

Kobayashi Asaburo had to repeat it, and Tani realized that Ohashi Kumao and his agents had sneaked away.

Gu Shoufu stood up from the chair suddenly, and the urine on his body made Kobayashi Asaburo nauseous for a while, and he opened his mouth and vomited.

Gu Shoufu didn't care about this, and cursed loudly that Ohashi Xiongxiong was a coward, a deserter, and a shame. After scolding, he pointed at Kobayashi Asaburo and shouted: "Yours, command the troops to move and carry out the order to destroy Jinan." I remember to execute all the prisoners in Jinan Prison, and blow up the grain depot, oil depot, and ammunition depot."

At this time, the battle had developed into a situation where Gu Shoufu could no longer be helped, because the Eighth Route Army was progressing too fast, so fast that Gu Shoufu's orders could no longer be conveyed to the troops for implementation.

In order to catch up with the pace of the first brigade, the brigade commander Chen Dayong could only hand over all the rubber cars and war horses of the whole brigade to the 19th and 20th regiments, and let the chief of staff Li Deguang and the director of the Political Department Shi Ran take these two regiments to the southwest of Jinan City with the rapid movement of the cavalry battalion, block the escape route of the little devils, and he and political commissar Liu Yi led the 21st Regiment, the New Seventh Regiment, and the supplementary regiment to forcibly march to Jinan City.

By the time the Seventh Brigade arrived at the east gate of Jinan, the First Brigade had already entered the city. Chen Dayong saw that this was the case, and said to the political commissar Liu Yi: "Political commissar, if we make a detour to the southwest, when we arrive at the designated place, this little devil in Jinan City will be killed." In my opinion, after revising the battle plan, we will enter the city from the east gate of the city, go up to the city wall, and attack along the city wall in two ways. What do you think? ”

Liu Yi, the political commissar of the Seventh Brigade, is a polite person, and at this time, he also showed the wild side of a soldier, and pulled up his sleeves: "***, how much anger Lao Tzu has suffered in Jiaodong, it's time to take revenge and go directly to the city"

Chen Dayong immediately ordered that the three regiments and brigade troops behind the palace all enter the city from the east gate, go up to the city wall, and divide the troops into two roads and sweep from east to west.

At this time of the war, everyone knew that the little devils in Jinan were over. The Sixth Brigade of the Seventh Brigade, which served as a reserve, of course, would not have watched the fraternal troops capture Jinan while not firing a single shot. Brigade Commander Zhang Hongtao's eyes were red, but unfortunately it was useless to be in a hurry, and he didn't dare to move without an order.

Zhang Hongtao urged Chief of Staff He Mingliang to send a report to the division headquarters over and over again, asking for approval to enter the battle. In the end, when teaching the first brigade to enter the city, he finally waited for the division commander's telegram: "Enter the city." After entering the battle, he took over the 1st Brigade to clear the stubborn Japanese puppet army and served as the city defense task of Jinan. Zhang Hongtao served as the commander of Jinan's urban defense. ”

Liu Yimin only appointed Zhang Hongtao as the commander of Jinan's urban defense, because compared with the main brigade, the Sixth Brigade of Jiao has only half of the brigade, and half of it is led by political commissar Fu Zhuting to persist in the Jilu border war of resistance. Another meaning is that they are unwilling to expose the numbers and leaders of the main brigades, namely the 1st Brigade, the 2nd Brigade, the 3rd Brigade, and the 4th Brigade. The Seventh Brigade of the Sixth Brigade was taught to enter the city first, and the brigade commander Chen Dayong had already served as the acting mayor of Qingdao when he captured Qingdao, and he was no longer suitable to serve as the commander of Jinan's urban defense.

Zhang Hongtao, who received the order, Ma Shan waved his troops and rushed towards Jinan. When he arrived at the East Gate, seeing that even the Seventh Brigade had entered the city through the East Gate, Zhang Hongtao immediately ordered the troops to use the car left by the First Brigade outside the city, and drove into the city to kill devils.

After the 2nd Brigade seized the Luokou Bridge, a regiment was left to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Luokou Town and Queshan, and Liu Jianli and Zeng Chunjian led the main force of the brigade to advance in the direction of the north gate of Jinan.

By the time the Second Brigade arrived at the North Gate, the First Brigade had already entered the city, and the entire Jinan City was full of gunfire and the explosion of shells, grenades, and explosives.

Liu Jianli saw that this was the case, and immediately ordered the new second regiment and the supplementary regiment to detour west along the city wall to block the escape route of the little devil, and then called the artillery commander, pointed to the Haiyan Gate and said: "Give you 10 minutes, concentrate all the artillery fire, and blast the city gate open to Lao Tzu"

The artillery commander said that he would promise to complete the task, and then went to direct the deployment.

In addition to 48 field guns, the artillery regiment of the 2nd Brigade is also equipped with an antiaircraft artillery company, a flying thunder artillery battalion, and infantry guns and mortars of the 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments, so that the firepower is strong enough. At this point, the artillery commander was also worried that he would not be able to complete the task within 10 minutes, so he used all the bazookas of the three regiments, let the soldiers approach the city wall in concealment, set up the bazookas, and join the bombardment of the north gate and the city wall.

Five minutes later, the artillery regiment of the 2nd Brigade opened fire, and the explosive packs fired by field artillery shells and flying thunder cannons smashed in an arc towards the city gate and the city wall, and the anti-aircraft guns and flat-fire infantry guns smashed into the city gate and the city wall. Suddenly, the sound of the explosion echoed in the sky above the north gate of Jinan City, and the corpses of the little devils fell down to the city wall along with the stones and mud on the city wall.

Taking advantage of the cover of the artillery group's fire, the bazooka groups of each regiment jumped into range, and the fighters quickly set up the bazookas and began to bombard a little.

The intensive shelling caused the city wall of the north gate of Jinan to collapse, and there were gaps everywhere.

Liu Jianjian waved his hand, and the trumpet of the charge sounded, and the three main regiments and brigade troops of the Second Brigade of the Second Brigade, which had been hiding and waiting in Luxi for so long and had already been covered with fire, poured into the north gate like a flash flood.

The most depressed is to teach the Third Brigade.

The artillery regiment of the 3rd Brigade was assigned to Li Chang for unified command. Originally, according to the battle plan, there was a special artillery group to cooperate with the Third Brigade to fight, but Li Chang temporarily revised the battle plan and concentrated the artillery group to bombard the north gate. Therefore, when the 3rd Brigade arrived at Qilu University at the South Gate, the artillery group had not yet followed. Well, the infantry guns, grenadiers, and heavy machine guns set up by the little devils on the south gate were desperately strafing, and the little devils stationed at Qilu University were covered by fire, and they also used the fortifications and school buildings to resist desperately, and the troops could not reach the city gate at all.

Seeing this situation, Li Qing simply ordered each regiment to organize firepower, shoot at the Japanese troops on the city wall, suppress the devils, cover the attack of the troops, and first eliminate the little devils who were guarding Qilu University.

If this is left in peacetime, the firepower of each regiment of the Third Brigade is much stronger than the firepower of the Japanese army defending the city, and the strength is much stronger than that of the little devils, even if the little devils stick to the city, Li Qing is sure to destroy the Japanese army and open the city gate. The problem is that the First Brigade has already entered the city, and there is already gunfire in Jinan. If it's a little later, it is estimated that the little devils in the city will be killed by the first brigade. What is the tradition of Gao Yuan and his first brigade, Li Qing knows very well, when he sees the little devil, he is used to eating soup with bones, and wants them to leave some for other troops, but there is no door

Li Qing, who was old and serious, was so anxious that he dug straight into his crotch

At this time, the artillery group moving with the cavalry traveled westward and passed through the south of the city, and Chang Huayu, director of the Political Department of the Third Brigade, immediately stepped forward to stop them, asking them to stay for a while and help the Third Brigade to blast open the south gate.

The artillery group that moved with the cavalry was centered on the cavalry brigade artillery regiment, which was formed after the elimination of the 10th Division, and had very few combat missions. As soon as they heard that the famous Third Brigade of the Sect asked for help from them, they immediately became energetic and asked to join the war and support the Third Brigade.

In this way, the artillery group, which moved with the cavalry, delayed the march for 10 minutes, set up a position outside the south gate, and began to repair the defenders of the south gate.

The shells were exploding, the explosives were exploding, and the Japanese troops on the wall of the south gate, who were still pouring ammunition into the city just now, were suddenly stunned, not knowing what bad things their ancestors had done, and they had ended up with such a fate: they would die, and in the end they would not even get a complete body

The moment the south gate was opened, Li Qing gave the order to attack, and the regiments of the 3rd Brigade rushed in, and the Japanese troops who were guarding Qilu University and were still resisting wildly just now quickly disappeared without a trace under the frenzy of the attack of the 3rd Brigade.

The division of a hundred battles taught the Third Brigade to enter Jinan from the south

The artillery group of the cavalry brigade that completed the task was full of laughter and laughter on the position, and the soldiers happily packed up their artillery and continued to advance westward, chasing the cavalry brigade.

At this point, all the main forces of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army entered the city of Jinan, from the wall to the streets of the outer city, the city of Jinan was full of guns and shouts of the Eighth Route Army. Little devils, don't say they want to fight with the Eighth Route Army, they just don't want to. Jinan City is only a large area, its perimeter of the wall is only 12 kilometers, this time there are so many elite soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, every street, every alley has troops attacking, searching for and eliminating the remnants of the enemy.

After completing the bombardment of the east gate of the inner city of Jinan, Li Chang knew that the big thing had been decided. However, he is a warm-hearted person and loves to help. At this time, the division's communications battalion set up the telephone, and Li Chang picked up the phone and reported to Liu Yimin: "Report to the division commander: The Jinan city wall is too unbeaten. Lao Tzu was a concentrated artillery bombardment, and the city wall between the two east gates was collapsed. Another salvo knocked down the east gate of the inner city. Now that all the troops have entered the city, those brigade commanders and political commissars are busy catching the devil commander, and no one has reported to you, right? It's still good for our old Li, and I think about the teacher in everything. No, I'll report to you as soon as the shelling is over. Division commander, listen to it, let's Lao Li lead the artillery group into the city, where are the little devils stubbornly resisting, our Lao Li will bombard the hell for the division commander."
