Chapter 368: Taking Tai'an Lightly (2)
How is Dai Zongfu? Qi Lu Qingwei is gone.
Creation Zhong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut dusk.
Swing the chest to give birth to stratus clouds, and decide to return to the bird.
It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance.
This is one of the masterpieces of the poet Saint Du Fu, "Wangyue", which is generally taught by the Chinese department of the university. From an artistic point of view, this poem should be the best poem written by the young Du Fu. There is not a single word "hope" in the whole poem, but every sentence is written to look at Yue. The distance is from far to near, the time is from morning to dusk, and the future of Mount Tak is suspenseful.
The poem is a famous poem, but no matter how famous the poem is, it is difficult to describe the demeanor of Mount Tai.
Since Yao Shun descended, how many emperors have come thousands of miles from ancient times to Mount Tai to seal Zen and sacrifice to heaven and earth. On the ancient road leading to Mount Tai, every inch of soil and every stone has endless stories, which can make every person who looks up to Mount Tai think about the ancient feelings.
It is a pity that at this time, this famous mountain and city in China has fallen under the iron hooves of Yuekou.
The reason why Gao Yuan was able to win Liu Yimin's high trust and commanded the most elite teaching brigade of the instructor was naturally his superiority.
Originally, Liu Yimin ordered to launch an attack on Dawenkou in the early morning, just to tempt the defenders of Tai'an to reinforce Dawenkou at dawn, to fight a quick battle, and to eliminate Reading Li in the field to become the main force of the 10th Brigade. The key here is timing. Because if the time of the attack on Dawenkou was closer to Tianming, after the devils in Tai'an received the call for help, with the mentality that the little devils were accustomed to revenge, they were likely to send reinforcements without hesitation.
Now, due to the search and sweep of Beiteng Village by the defenders of the army stationed in Dawenkou, Dawenkou was captured ahead of schedule. According to common sense, it is impossible for the devils stationed in Tai'an to send reinforcements to Dawenkou at night, and after dawn, after a night of pondering, the devils will not be so impetuous, and whether they will follow Liu Yimin's baton has become a question.
After Gao Yuan, Cheng Cuilin and Hu Laohu led the First Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade to wave their divisions, they hid in the western area of Tai'an City, staring at every move of the little devils in Tai'an City, ready to pounce on Tai'an City at any time.
When Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong commanded the troops to capture Dawenkou, Liu Yimin considered what to do if the army of Tai'an City did not go to reinforce Dawenkou?
After dealing with devils for such a long time, Liu Yimin has a certain understanding of Terauchi Shouichi, and he also has a certain understanding of Nishio Shouzao, the former commander of the Second Army, and knows that these two people are both pillars of the army, and they have a very good set of soldiers. If there was no such advantage, with the intelligence collection and transmission ability of the Eighth Route Army in this era, no one would think of recovering Taiyuan and attacking Tianjin.
According to the combat characteristics of the devils after the capture of Tianjin, Terauchi Shouichi would not let the Tai'an defenders attack Tai'an overnight, because no matter how disguised he was, it would not have much effect on a commander-level figure like Terauchi Shouichi, and he would smell a trace of peculiar smell from the clues. Therefore, the time designed before the war to capture Dawenkou was deliberately set in the early morning, the purpose was to paralyze the nerves of the devil commander, so that they thought that it was dawn and the danger was small, so that they could quickly reinforce Dawenkou without reporting to Terauchi Shouichi.
Now that the time to capture Dawenkou has been advanced, everything has changed, and Liu Yimin's order to the plateau has changed, requiring him to maneuver and fight, if the main force of the enemy defending Tai'an goes south to attack Dawenkou, he will directly attack and occupy Tai'an, empty the arms and materials stored by the army in Tai'an, and cooperate with Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong to eliminate the enemy. If the army is firmly held in Tai'an, it will quickly cross the Jinpu line and march towards the predetermined assembly point of the Luzhong Campaign, and everything will be important to achieve the objectives of the Luzhong Campaign.
After receiving Liu Yimin's order, the plateau was very depressed, and he was so hidden in southwest Lu that he had to grow green hair, and finally received an order to go north to participate in the Luzhong Campaign. This time, eighty percent of Tai'an's army will not move.
Seeing that the plan to capture Tai'an was about to come to naught, Gao Yuan was secretly scolding himself in his heart for his bad life, and he couldn't get a chance to fight devils. At this time, the reconnaissance company reported that Tai'an's devils were dispatched.
Gao Yuan was overjoyed when he heard the news, he didn't care who ordered the 10th Mixed Brigade of Reading Power to be dispatched, and he didn't care whether Terauchi Shouichi would interfere with the operational command of the Second Army, at this time, in his eyes, Tai'an City was already a ripe peach, just waiting for him to pick it!
Tai'an City is at the foot of Mount Tai, built by the mountain, the mountain city is one, the name of the city is taken from Mount Tai and the world is safe. It turns out that the center of Tai'an City is in the Dai Temple and Yaoshen Pavilion. The empty field in front of the remote pavilion is called the head of the pavilion, which is the most important geographical coordinate of Tai'an City, and it is also the business center of Tai'an City. However, with the opening of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, the city center gradually moved westward, and the material distribution was concentrated near the station, gradually forming the station front street, and connecting with Caiyuan Street, forming the main arterial road in Tai'an urban area.
In addition to the catering industry, commercial houses, and street vendors, there are more than 1,400 merchants, including wine, oil, foreign goods, miscellaneous grains, pickles, native products, foreign cloth, brokerage, transshipment industry, traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, pastries, meat, books and stationery, coal, timber, woodware, ironware, bronzeware, and small hardware, with a total annual transaction value of more than one million yuan. Commercial trade is relatively developed, there are 320 large and small oil mills alone, with an annual output of 1,274,500 kilograms of oil. The most powerful is the hotel industry in Tai'an, in order to receive an endless stream of pilgrims to Mount Tai for incense, the largest hotel in Tai'an can accept 3,000 people. It's a pity that a gunshot rang out at the Lugou Bridge, destroying the normal commercial order. After the army captured Tai'an, Tai'an City withered, and most of the businesses were closed, like the hotel that could accommodate 3,000 people, it became the barracks of the devils.
At about 10 o'clock in the night, that is, when Major General Mizuno Nobu led the main force of the 10th Brigade to leave Tai'an, a long series of car lights suddenly lit up on the highway from Jinan to Tai'an, and a wave of tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles drove towards Tai'an City. The devils and puppet soldiers who stayed in Tai'an City thought that there was an enemy situation, so they panicked and made a sentry, and all of them went up to the city wall and entered the fortifications. When I got closer, I realized that it was the Imperial Army's troops who had arrived to reinforce Tai'an.
At this time, the two devil garrison squadrons, the gendarmerie and a battalion of puppet troops left behind, as well as the newly established puppet Luxi Daoyi Zhu Fengzao and the puppet county magistrate Zhang Huacheng of Tai'an County, all went out of the fortifications, got down the city wall, and all gathered in Xiguan to meet the imperial army reinforcements, cheering and jumping on both sides of the street.
The soldiers of the army were a little better, so many tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles were enough to show off the military might of the Great Imperial Empire, and they all unconsciously puffed up their chests. Those puppet soldiers and Han annihilators were full of ugliness, saluting, bowing, applauding, and cheering at the little sun flags on tanks and armored vehicles, and they simply didn't know who their ancestors were.
Zhang Huacheng, the puppet Tai'an county magistrate, had his eyes shining, his mouth smacked, and he shook his head and said to Zhu Fengzao, the puppet Luxi Daoyi beside him: "Lord Daoyi, if you look at the military might of the imperial army, and then think about the soldiers of Han Fuqu who are carrying burning sticks, you will know that this China should have died a long time ago. In the future, when the imperial army conquers China and then conquers all of Asia, maybe Lord Daoyi will continue to rise and become a provincial governor. When the time comes, you must bring one or two younger brothers! ”
Zhu Fengzao was also dizzy at this time, gathered his gold-rimmed eyes, and said slowly: "I have long known that China is going to perish, and the Chinese can only have a way out by cooperating with the imperial army." But let me tell you, you have to be loyal and do your best to cooperate with the Imperial Army, otherwise the Imperial Army's war knives will be unkind. You work hard, go and let all the hotels and restaurants in Tai'an City open their doors to serve the imperial army, and let all those women who sell openly and secretly get up to pick up customers and comfort the imperial army. ”
This Zhu Fengzao is his mother's shameless unlucky bastard, as soon as he finished speaking, the knives of the imperial cavalry who followed tanks, armored vehicles, and cars into the city were chopped off. Of course, it is not outsiders who are splitting, and besides, in addition to the puppet army defending in Xiguan in Tai'an City this night, where are there outsiders!
One after another swords slashed down under the reflection of the lights, and the frightened puppet army didn't have time to figure out why such a change happened, so they became ghosts under the knife one after another. The imperial troops in those armored cars, tanks, and cars were even stranger, they didn't shoot or speak, but just watched coldly as the head of the devil Han Zhan rolled around like a leather ball under the saber of the cavalry.
The massacre only lasted for a short time, because there were too few troops left behind in Tai'an, and what entered the city was a fully equipped cavalry brigade, as well as a cavalry battalion of the first brigade. When Zhu Fengzao and Zhang Huacheng's bodies were split in half, the massacre was over.
Gao Yuan, Cheng Cuilin, Hu Laohu, Bao Wen and others who entered the city afterwards did not expect things to go so smoothly at all. Therefore, after entering the city, Gao Yuan asked Cheng Cuilin and Bao Wen to take the new 1st Regiment, the Supplementary Regiment, the Baggage Battalion, the Engineer Battalion, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment to investigate and dig all kinds of warehouses of the Yue Army in Tai'an City, and he and Hu Laohu took the 1st Teaching Regiment, the 2nd Teaching Regiment, the 3rd Teaching Regiment, the 1st Southwest Lu Reading Regiment, the Brigade Artillery Regiment and the Cavalry Brigade out of the city to deploy defenses, preparing to turn around and return to Tai'an in case the 10th Brigade of the Reading Force of the Yue Army was mixed into the 10th Brigade and turned back to Tai'an, and it was eliminated on the spot.
It really made Gao Yuan guess correctly, after Major General Mizuno Shin led the Reading Mixed Tenth Brigade out of Tai'an, after arriving at Beijipo to mix with the defenders, he received an urgent order from the Second Army, requiring the Reading Mixed Tenth Brigade to immediately stop advancing and return to Tai'an to stand by.
After reading the telegram, Major General Mizuno Nobu didn't have to think about it to know that this must be the result of the order of General Terauchi Shouichi, thinking about the embarrassment of Lieutenant General Tsukihiko King of Higashijuer Palace when he was forced to retract the previous order, Major General Mizuno Nobu couldn't help but snicker, Lieutenant General Tsukihiko of Higashijur Palace, this old playboy was finally deflated this time!
Seeing that the time was not early, Major General Mizuno Nobu told the defenders of Beijipo to strengthen their vigilance to prevent a sneak attack on the Tuhachi Road, and ordered the troops to set off and return to Tai'an.
