As he sat on a chair and waited for the Eighth Route Army to storm the courtyard so that his machine guns could be unleashed, he heard the sound of machine guns and artillery at the entrance of the village. The old devil was not surprised, Huo Di stood up with a bang, and muttered in his mouth: "Great, the fight has started, and the fight has finally started!" The cunning Dirt Eight Road has finally appeared, and this time I want to give you a taste of the power of the machine gun bullets of the Great Imperial Empire! ”

After shouting, I remembered that the Eighth Route Army came with armored troops, and the sound of artillery just now was so intense, listening to the sound of both chariot artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and grenadiers, indicating that the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was extremely strong, and I don't know how long the village entrance position can last.

As soon as he thought of the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, Gansu Jutaro was shocked, why was he so careless, when he ordered the three squadrons to go to the Jiaolai River to transport weapons and ammunition, he only ordered them to pull back the machine guns and cannons, forgetting that this was a group of stragglers, and the stragglers whose souls had been scared away did not order them to explode the artillery. These cowardly fellows did not pull the cannon back under the pretext that they did not have pack horses. This is too bad, the cannons of the 33rd Wing of the Mountain Artillery are about to fall into the hands of Tubalu. No wonder Liu Yimin's troops are getting stronger and stronger, it turns out that the imperial army is sending weapons and ammunition to him!

After figuring out this section, Ganji Shigetaro's heart began to become irritable, and the kind of education of the principals of the Toyama School and the Army Officers' Preparatory School was completely replaced by the brutality of the commander of the 9th Brigade and the commander of the 33rd Division, and he pulled out his command knife and slashed at the square table in front of him.

The square table looks like it has been some years, and the original closed desktop has cracked the gap, and Gansu Jutaro shot out angrily, full of strength, and slashed it up, and actually split the tabletop, the knife momentum did not stop, and there was a clattering sound, which broke the wooden braces under the tabletop, and the 96-style "crutch handle" light machine gun, pistol and magazine on the table fell to the ground.

Jutaro scolded "Baga" and bent down to pick up the machine guns and pistols that had fallen to the ground. Before he could get his gun in his hand, he heard a jumble of shouts and hurried footsteps outside the courtyard.

He didn't know what was going on, and he was so surprised that he didn't even care about the machine gun or pistol, so he raised his head, straightened up, kicked open the square table that he had chopped off, and walked into the courtyard with his command knife, wanting to open the courtyard door to see what was going on.

His guards were not bad, and as soon as they saw that the division commander was going to open the courtyard gate, several soldiers hurriedly ran out of the upper room and the wing room and protected him in the middle.

A guard stepped forward, opened the courtyard door, and when he saw that the road outside the door was full of fleeing soldiers, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Baga! Don't run away! Your Excellency the Division Commander is here, come back quickly and protect the work of the Division Commander! ”

At this moment, Gansu Jutaro completely understood what was happening outside the door, pushed away his guards, rushed out of the gate, and shouted at the backs of the deserters with a command knife: "Baga! Come back soon! Coward! Coward! Running away will only result in faster death! Come back soon! ”

Let him scream through his throat, it would be strange if one of the deserters would turn around!

By this time, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army had already entered the village, and the rumbling sound and the cheerful shouts of the vehicle-mounted machine guns muffled the shouts of Tataro Gansu.

Jutaro watched as the machine-gun bullets from the tanks of the Eighth Route Army shot blood on the backs of the deserters, who swooped forward in rows like rice seedlings in the rice fields of Hokkaido when a typhoon came.

Shigetaro was a well-known military educator in the army all his life, leading soldiers all his life, training and educating officers all his life. Rao is well-informed, and he never thought that such a shameful situation would happen in this army, so he sat on the ground and cried like a child.

It may be that Jutaro's actions are too emotional, or it may be too funny and does not match the atmosphere on the battlefield, or it may be that his lieutenant general's epaulettes and badges are too obvious, and none of the tanks of the Eighth Route Army crushed him, one by one, they rumbled past him and chased the deserters.

The Eighth Route Army did not fight Ganji Jutaro, which did not mean that it did not fight his guards who tried to shoot and resist. Those guys were unlucky to get home, and they were all beaten into honeycombs by machine guns, and they fell sideways and all over the side of Takutaro Katsutaro, and the blood flowed all the way to the bottom of Jutaro Katsutaro's buttocks, dyeing his military pants black and red.

Lieutenant General Shigetaro Gan, the commander of the 33rd Division of the Army, who was crying sadly, suddenly felt that his buttocks were wet and cold, and subconsciously reached out and touched it, feeling fishy and sticky, he was a soldier, and he knew what it was, and he woke up suddenly.

Jutaro Gansu, who woke up, opened his eyes and saw that his eyes were blurry, and he hurriedly took off his glasses, wiped the lenses on his sleeve, and quickly put them on. Now I can see everything clearly, the streets are full of tanks, armored vehicles, and cars disguised by the Eighth Route Army, the wheels are rolling, and the motors are singing, and they are chasing in the direction where the deserters fled to the east of the village.

It's over, it's in the hands of the Eighth Route Army!

Tataro felt a thrill in his heart, and he reached out to touch his sword. I touched it and didn't touch it, so I shrank my legs on the spot, and as soon as I pouted my buttocks, it became a kneeling position, and my front body threw myself forward directly. He could see clearly that there was a rifle in front of his face, and a bayonet on it, needless to say, it was the weapon of one of his dead guards.

Seeing that he was about to grab the rifle, Ganji Jutaro suddenly felt that his collar tightened, and the whole person was lifted up. This Ganji Jutaro is also brave, a person in his early fifties, and his anger is still so big, and he still wants to hit him with a backhand. I saw him "ah" on the ground, and his feet off the ground kicked backwards.

This time, it annoyed the people who lifted him. There was a "huh" sound in his ears, and Tataro was thrown out like a ball.

Ganji Shigetaro, who fell on the ground, was dizzy, and just as he was about to make another move, a sharp reprimand came from his ears: "Lieutenant General Ganji Shigetaro, commander of the 33rd Division, don't humiliate yourself again, Lao Tzu's patience has a limit!" ”

Only then did Gansu Jutaro raise his head and saw two officers of the Eighth Route Army standing in front of him, the first one, stocky and handsome. Needless to say, he was the one who threw himself into the fight.

I only heard the officer of the Eighth Route Army say: "Ganji Shigetaro, you are honored to be captured by the Eighth Route Army Instructor Teaching the First Brigade." You heard clearly, Lao Tzu is Wang Dahu, the head of the First Brigade and the First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and he was ordered by General Liu Yimin, the instructor and division commander, to arrest you and see him. By the way, our division commander Liu Yimin said, you don't have to feel embarrassed, you don't have to look for death and life, it is your honor to be captured by the Eighth Route Army, and you can end your sinful life from now on. The commander of the 12th Army, Otaka Kamezo, and the commander of the 1st 08th Division, Shimoto Kumaya, are all waiting for you in Weicheng! You won't feel lonely! ”

Ganji Jutaro stared at a pair of eyes that were about to eat people, and stared at Wang Dahu through the lenses.

Wang Dahu snorted and laughed, and stepped in front of Gansu Jutaro: "What? Not convinced? I'll tell you honestly, even if Lao Tzu doesn't use tanks and armored vehicles, and fights with your 33rd Division, you are not an opponent! Our division commander Liu Yimin said that in the future, he will build a museum and put the skull specimens of you, the commanders of the military division, on display in the museum, so that people from all over the world can come and see what happened to the invaders. The two of us discussed, and you said that when the time comes, will you sell tickets in yuan, or will you accept our yuan? ”

Jutaro rolled his eyes and fainted completely.

The little devils who fled to the east of the village did not run far, because they found that not only were the terrifying chariots of the Eighth Route Army behind them, but also the terrifying chariots that greeted them in front of them, which were the bright swords of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army and the machine guns spitting flames on the back of their horses. In the end, ten out of ten of these devil deserters died, and only one hundred and ten people were left to surrender on their knees.

By the time Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin entered Han Village, there were no gunshots on the battlefield. As soon as Hu Laohu, who came on horseback, saw the plateau, he said that the instructor was not interesting enough, and the cavalry brigade had almost smoothed the horseshoes, so he hurried and hurried, and still gave up the ganza Shigetaro to the first brigade. It seems that the tall brigade commander has no choice but to entertain guests, seeing that the first brigade is about to become an armored brigade, he still runs bitterly to compete with the cavalry brigade. No, get the wine out quickly. If I don't take it out again, I, Hu Laohu, will drink my own wine. Anyway, I'm not afraid, and when it gets out, the soldiers will say that Brigade Commander Hu gave such a great credit to the 1st Brigade for taking prisoners, Lieutenant General Ganji Shigetaro, but the 1st Brigade was slammed at the door, and he was not even willing to drink. If this is known to Li Chang, he will not laugh at the tall brigade commander to death.

After such a big victory, everyone was very happy. In particular, on the plateau, three devil lieutenant generals were arrested in one day, and two of them were captured by the 1st Brigade. Although the old boy of Xia Yuan Xiong Mina was personally captured by the division commander, which unit did the division commander bring into Weicheng? Teach a brigade and teach a regiment! Hehe, count the millions of troops in China, which army has ever had this kind of glory!

Gao Yuan, who was in a happy mood, smiled on his face and said to Hu Laohu: "Okay, drink!" However, the tiger hurriedly ordered the troops to disperse and hide, smoke and prepare to organize anti-aircraft shooting. Take out the smoke pipes and smoke bombs, it's time for the crunch time. It's time for the little devils' planes to arrive, but don't let them use us as targets to bomb us indiscriminately. Don't worry, let's go to Pingdu City, find Zhang Hongtao, Zhao Shan, Zhao Jie, go to the restaurant, fight tooth sacrifices, and drink a good plate. Whoever pretends to be a bear will be poured into him! ”

The instructor's cigarette cartridge was seized from the warehouse of the Japanese army in Tanggu, Tianjin, and was originally a device used by the army to launch poison gas bombs, which could also be used to launch smoke bombs. The smoke bomb is very easy to make, the technical content is not high, there are so many engineering and technical personnel in the instructor, and there is Liu Yimin, a master from later generations who understands the principle, making the smoke bomb is purely a piece of cake. Not only did they have smoke grenades for firing smoke pipes and cannons, but they also had small smoke grenades that could be held by the soldiers.

Hu Laohu laughed: "Brigade Commander Gao, this time my cavalry brigade can run in front of you." Look at the smoke in the sky, it's all done by my cavalry warriors to cover the battlefield for you. I've got everything arranged, and I'm waiting for you right here. You're busy, and when you're done, invite me to drink! After saying that, he found a bench and sat on it to watch the plateau busy.

Gao Yuan was really busy, and he kept giving orders to teach the first and second regiments to quickly evacuate and hide, collect smoke, and prepare to shoot and fire smoke bombs into the air. The cavalry battalion that ordered to keep up was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. He also ordered the radio station to send a report to Liu Yimin to report the victory: the 33rd Division will be completely annihilated, and the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Gan Ji Jutaro, will be captured alive.

After giving the order, he turned his head and saw Hu Laohu sitting on the bench asleep, snoring one after another, and the beating was earth-shattering, provoking his guard squad soldiers to cover their mouths and secretly laugh.

Gao Yuan admired Hu Laohu in his heart, the man on this horse is really iron, he can sleep on horseback, and he can sleep on the bench. Shaking his head, he shouted to the guards to find a soldier to be put on Hu Laohu, and he marched and fought continuously, he was too tired, and he was prone to catch a cold when he fell asleep.

Liu Yimin's reply soon arrived, and he first congratulated the heroic 1st Brigade and the 1st Cavalry Brigade on their brilliant achievements in annihilating the 33rd Division and capturing Gansu Shigetaro with the cooperation of the 1st Aviation Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and its brother units. Then he ordered Gao Yuan and Hu Laohu to seize the time to rest and regroup their troops and prepare for new combat missions.

Gao Yuan didn't know that at this time, the armies of Lunan, Shandong, and Taixi had all been launched. The 34th Division stationed in Tai'an had also begun to advance towards Jinan. Hong Chaoyuan had already sent an urgent telegram to Liu Yimin, reporting that he had found that the puppet army on the front line of Xuzhou and the puppet army stationed in Yanzhou had made a big move, and judged that the puppet army was going to attack southern and southeastern Lu.

The tanks, armored vehicles, and cars of the 1st and 2nd regiments are covered with camouflage nets, and when they are parked in villages and fields, they will blend in with the surrounding environment. However, Wang Dahu and Zhao Dahe did not dare to be careless, these equipment were their hearts, and without them, no matter how high the tactical quality of the first and second regiments was and how strong their combat effectiveness was, it would be impossible to fight the battle so smoothly. Therefore, after receiving the order, they immediately evacuated the vehicles in concealment, organized troops to collect straw, firewood, and bituminous coal, and lit fires to soak up smoke. He also ordered all the machine guns to be set up to form a circle of fire, ready to ambush the devil group.

After receiving the operational order to reinforce the 33rd Division, the North China Front Aviation Group immediately ordered planes from Beiping, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, and Baoding to take off and transfer to Jinan, Qingdao, Dawenkou, and Xuzhou. After completing the transfer mission, he quickly took off and went to the area between Weixian and Pingdu to cover the 33rd Division. At the same time, it urgently contacted the Kwantung Army and asked them to quickly send a group of planes to the airports of Beiping, Tianjin, and Shijiazhuang to support the North China Front Air Group in its operations.

The battle loss rate of the North China Front Air Group was much higher than that of the air forces of the Kwantung Army, the Central China Dispatch Army, and the Navy. However, Lieutenant General Kinoshita Toshita, the new commander of the North China Front Aviation Group, was thick-skinned and not as stupid as his predecessor, Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, who committed suicide by not disemboweling his abdomen, and was willing to give General Terauchi Shouichi beautiful women and gold bars, so that Terauchi Shouichi did not hold him accountable and spoke for him. There is no way to get the base camp to take him, so he can only settle the accounts on the head of the Eighth Route Army and Liu Yimin.

The commander is thick-skinned, which does not mean that all aviation forces are thick-skinned. Although the flight time of these newly recruited pilots was not long, they were victorious when they first came out of the gate of the aviation school, and they were arrogant and full of morale, and they were bent on seeking revenge on the Eighth Route Army.

The opportunity finally came, and the instructor of the Eighth Route Army dared to attack His Excellency Ogaka Kamizo, commander of the 12th Army of the Great Imperial Army, in broad daylight, steal all the fighters from the two airports in Xuzhou, and even dared to launch a pursuit of the 33rd Division in broad daylight.

It's not that the instructors of the Eighth Route Army don't know the power of the army aviation troops, it's that these new recruits who have just entered the battlefield don't know the power of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army. Their predecessors, the shattered army aviation and the combined fleet aviation, had already come to the conclusion from their anguish that when bombing the units of the Eighth Route Army, they had to drop bombs at high altitudes, and it was much better to have a larger deviation from the impact point than to dive down and be destroyed by ground fire. It's a pity that these guys died too early and didn't have time to pass on their valuable experience to these younger generations.

The distance from Jinan to Weixian and from Qingdao to Weixian is much different, and the devil plane that completed the transition arrived at the battlefield in an hour. However, what makes the little devil pilot must be depressed is that the land in Luzhong is full of smoke and the visibility is too low, and it is impossible to see the ground target clearly, let alone identify friend and foe. There was no way, the devil pilots all pulled up the plane after reporting the situation to the airport, went into the clouds, and waited for the smoke to dissipate.

After waiting for a while, I felt that the time was long enough, and the formation of the devil group couldn't bear the surname, after all, fuel is very precious, and the fuel tank capacity is limited, so it is impossible to wait for such a long time.

The Devil Group formed out of the clouds, ready to descend in altitude and attack. As a result, the smoke over the ground continued unabated, getting thicker and thicker, so thick that the pilots could not discern the location of the target. In desperation, the commander of the fleet had to report to the airfield again, unable to bomb, and requested a change in the direction and mission of the operation.

The airfield called back, the direction and mission of the bombing remained unchanged, and the aircraft group must quickly join the battle to reinforce the 33rd Division.

The commander of the devil group who led the team did not know that Lieutenant General Tataro Gan, commander of the 33rd Division, had already sent a farewell telegram, but he knew that the reason why the airfield gave such an order must be that the 33rd Division was in a bad situation.

The devil's plane swooped down, and what they didn't expect was that the lower the altitude, the bigger the smoke, and hidden in the smoke were fluttering kites and balloons, which were aerial minefields laid for them by the Eighth Route Army.
