Chapter 540: The Battle of Qingzhou (7)

Song Wenhu didn't wait long, and soon there was a rumbling explosion in front, needless to say, it was the troops who blocked the attack and detonated the electric explosives buried under the railroad tracks, blowing up the armored car that the little devil was driving the way.

Song Wenhu has a lot of experience, and he knows that the next thing is that the armored patrol car of the army column and the rear guard will be blown up, and he must launch a charge now, and if it is too late, when his company rushes to the front, other troops may have already cleaned up the little devils.

However, the 3rd Brigade was the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and it was strictly disciplined, and no one could act without an order to charge. Otherwise, they will be disciplined.

Just when Song Wenhu was anxious, there was a loud boom, and the front of the first military train of the little devil was blown up and ejected from the rails, rushing towards the bottom of the roadbed, driving the carriages behind to rush out of the tracks and rush to the sorghum field that had just been harvested under the roadbed.

The first column of the devil overturned.

The explosions did not stop. The sudden change made the driver of the military column full of tanks 500 meters behind him startled and braked urgently, but the powerful habitual surname made the military column slip and hit the first military column of the overturned car. Finally the speed slowed down, about to brake the car, boom rumbling a series of loud noises, and the front of the car was blown out and slipped out of the tracks, under the chain reaction, the back of the car also overturned, tanks, artillery, all were thrown off the car, overturned on the ground, the tanks, artillerymen on the car were naturally also thrown off the car.

The third military train, which specialized in pulling cannons and ammunition and artillery, also turned down the roadbed in the roaring explosion, this train was different from the first ticket car military train, and also different from the second pure flatbed, but hung a few flatbed cars with cannons, and the back were coal carriages loaded with ammunition and artillery. This overturned car is like dumping garbage, dumping all those guns, ammunition boxes, and artillery out like garbage.

At this time, the loud trumpet of the charge sounded.

Song Wenhu jumped out of the trench at once, shouted "Rush, kill the devils", and rushed towards the devil army with a shell gun in one hand and an August 1 automatic rifle in the other.

The company commander charged, and the soldiers of the first company immediately jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the train. Only the fire support platoon remained in position, ready to provide fire support at any time.

The devil army train was blown over, and the little devils on the army train were killed, wounded, and confused, purely a group of pigs who were stunned by the explosion. At this time, the most important thing is speed, as long as you quickly rush to the front of the military column, drop bombs and strafe before the little devil reacts, the battle will soon be over, and the casualties will be negligible. But if it was a little later, let the little devils react, and the little devils on the two military columns behind could still say that they were all artillery and tank soldiers, and they were basically bare-handed, and they couldn't find the weapons they could take advantage of in their eagerness, so they could only surrender or be killed. The first ticket car was sitting on the devil infantry brigade, their rifles, machine guns, and grenades were all carried with them, as long as those who were slightly injured and fainted could react, they would soon smash the windows of the car and shoot, and the casualties of the charging Eighth Route Army would be great.

Due to the guaranteed logistical supply, the training of the instructors and instructors was tightened, and the soldiers were physically strong. Song Wenhu is a native of Guangxi, a well-known Guangxi monkey, and in accordance with the requirements of the training program, he grasped the company's cross-country running very tightly, and the soldiers' physical strength and endurance were very good.

100 meters away, in a flash.

The military train of the devil's ticket car was blown into several sections, and some of the carriages were completely overturned on the north side of the road, and they lay down on their backs like drunks; Some carriages overturned on the south side of the road, and dogs pounced on the ground like; There are also a few sections lying alone on the roadbed.

Seinfeld went straight to a car in the middle, stood on the body of the car, raised the shell gun in his right hand, and swept through the window where the glass had been shattered. After the fight, he inserted the shell gun into the belt, and when he picked up the Bayi automatic rifle, it was another shuttle. When he looked up, an old devil wearing the badge of a major general was covered in blood, lying on his back, and a pair of dead fish eyes stared at him without blinking.

Major General Naozo Nakano, commander of the 25th Brigade of the 10th and 8th Divisions of the Japanese Army, never dreamed that he would encounter a large attack by a large force of the Eighth Route Army when he was about to arrive in Yidu.

When the avant-garde armored patrol car was bombed, Major General Naozo Nakano woke up and knew that he was in trouble. Because the armored patrol car is a standard weapon of war in this era, there is no way to use it with ordinary weapons, that is to say, only the armored patrol car can fight others. Since the beginning of the war, the armored patrol vehicles of the Japanese army have played an important role in defending the railway line and preventing the [***] team from sabotaging railway traffic. To put it bluntly, an armored patrol car is a mobile steel fortress.

In Nakano's impression, before the instructor of the Eighth Route Army participated in the war, there was basically no incident in which the armored patrol car of the Imperial Army was attacked and blown up. It was only after the Tubalu Sect instructor came out that he blew up and destroyed armored patrol cars one after another. The explosion is understandable, as long as the amount of explosives is sufficient, it can blow up the armored patrol car, at least the rails, and create a rollover. It is difficult to destroy, you must have a flat-fire gun that can fire armor-piercing shells. Moreover, armored patrol vehicles are much stronger than combat vehicles, and ordinary anti-aircraft guns and armor-piercing shells, as long as they do not hit the vital places, will not cause much damage to the armored patrol vehicles. Naozo Nakano, the old devil, couldn't figure out what advanced weapons the scum Eighth Route Army could muster up and destroy an almost invincible armored patrol car.

Now the armored patrol car that serves as the guard of the military column was bombed, and it must be the masterpiece of the Eighth Route Army without even thinking about it. Moreover, the fact that the Eighth Route Army was able to penetrate deep into Jiaoji Road to bomb armored patrol vehicles shows that they are coming for their own military columns, and the plotters are big. From this point of view, the Eighth Route Army's all-out attack last night, the loss of several county towns, and the capture of Commander Odaka Kamizo were all planned campaign actions by the Eighth Route Army. It's a pity that from Lieutenant General Otaka Kamizo to himself, he didn't know anything about the strategic actions of the Eighth Route Army, and he still dreamed of launching a Jiaoji Road sweeping operation to take the initiative to eliminate the Eighth Route Army!

Naozo Nakano's mind was spinning, and he immediately figured out a few key points: First, the reason why the Eighth Route Army was launched on the whole front and captured several county towns in one fell swoop was to drive the imperial army to the Jiaoji Road, so that they could be annihilated in one fell swoop. The reason why they dared to do this must be that Liu Yimin personally led the main force of the instructor to sneak back to Shandong secretly, and his main force did not suffer major losses when the heavy army group of the imperial army swept away, and maintained a strong combat power. Second, the reason why Commander Ogaka Kamizo was attacked and captured at the Twenty Lipu Airport was not because the headquarters of the 12th Army and the headquarters of the 108th Division were annihilated, nor was it how powerful the intelligence system of the Eighth Route Army was, but that there was a problem with the headquarters of the 108th Division in Weicheng. Only when the Eighth Route Army occupied the headquarters of the 10th and 8th Divisions could it logically see the telegram or telephone records of Commander Odaka Kamizo coming to Weicheng. You must know that it was a temporary decision, and only a few people, Otaka Kamezo, Kobayashi Asaburo, Shimoto Kumaya, and Suzuki Toshiyuki, knew that it was impossible for the information to be leaked. Only when the Eighth Route Army captured the headquarters of the 10th and 8th Divisions could it explain why Lieutenant General Xiong Mi kept urging all units not to stay in the defensive area and to reinforce the Twenty Lipu airfield. Needless to say, the current Xia Yuan Xiong Mi is no longer the real Xia Yuan Xiong Mi, it must be the Eighth Route Army that used the captured radio and code book to disguise him to give orders. Third, don't talk about your own military column, I'm afraid that the avant-garde brigade that set off earlier has already been one step ahead. Even the 1st 04th Brigade, which hurried to the Twenty-Mileburg Airport, was probably broken. From beginning to end, the whole operation was a big scam, a big conspiracy, and a big trap carried out by Liu Yimin. Just imagine, if it weren't for the 105th Wing stationed in Fangzi and the division commander tribe stationed in Weicheng into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, their troops themselves would be very strong, and they would have used their 25th Brigade to go all the way to reinforcements?

To say that Major General Naozo Nakano really lived up to the training given to him by the Army University, and was able to figure out many secrets so quickly, of course, it was not too late for him to understand, at least he was not a fool.

As soon as Nakano Naozo figured it out, he heard a rumbling explosion, and there was a churn, Naozo's face hit the wooden chair opposite, bleeding all over his face, and his head became dizzy.

However, after all, this Nakano Naozo is a battle-hardened general who has been cultivated by the spirit of bushido, and he knows that it is extremely critical at this time, and it is likely that the Eighth Route Army will attack it immediately. Holding back the pain, Nakano began to turn around, shouting for the wounded soldiers to climb out of the carriage to resist, while observing the situation and wanting to climb out first.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army pounced, and Song Wenhu's bullet completely sent this old devil whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people back to the East.

Song Wenhu didn't know Nakano Naozo, but he knew his major general's badge and knew that this should be the brigade commander of the devil. After changing the magazine, I had to fight again, and I saw that the soldiers had already rushed up, strafing and dropping bombs into the car window, making the inside of the devil army column bloody and messy.

Seeing that there could be no more living little devils in the carriage, Seinfeld ordered to stop shooting, got in through the window, pulled Nakano's legs, pulled him out, put him on the ground, and waited for the chiefs to come and check it.

The battle to eliminate Naozo Nakano ended quickly, Li Qing roughly calculated, and felt that the number of the three columns of the little devil army did not match the number of troops that Naozan should bring, and immediately thought that this guy might have played a trick and left some troops in Zhoucun and Zhangdian. Hurriedly sent a report to Lei Ming, asking him to control the rhythm of the battle as much as possible when he eliminated the devil's guard brigade, give the devil a chance to ask for help, and see if he could transfer the devils of the 25th Brigade stationed in Zhoucun and Zhangdian to eliminate them in the field and reduce the resistance when capturing Zhoucun and Zhangdian.

After sending a telegram to Lei Ming, Li Qing ordered the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then sent a report to Liu Yimin to report that he had annihilated the main force of the 25th Brigade and killed Major General Naozo Nakano, commander of the 25th Brigade, Wing Commander Gao Shu Jiaizuo, and Wing Commander Ei Naei Ichi of the 132nd Wing. At present, only the 4th Brigade and the 12th Regiment have not reported the battle report of the annihilation of the 25th Brigade and Regiment Guard Brigade, but judging from the number of enemies destroyed, the 25th Brigade and Regiment have not all reinforced the Twenty Lipu Airport, and there should still be one infantry brigade stationed in Zhoucun and Zhangdian. Moreover, the Jiaoji Road garrison units stationed in Zhangqiu, Zhoucun, and Zhangdian did not move with the 25th Brigade.

At the end of the telegram, Li Qing asked for permission to storm Zhoucun, Zhangdian, and Zhangqiu, develop the offensive to the suburbs of Jinan, and make preparations for a strong attack on Jinan.

Liu Yimin sent a telegram back instructing Li Qing that if the troops left behind in Zhoucun and Zhangdian went out of the city to reinforce, they could be eliminated on the spot, and then the Fourth Brigade would send troops to take advantage of the situation to attack and occupy Zhoucun and Zhangqiu. If the enemy does not go out of the city to reinforce, postpone the capture of Zhoucun, Zhangdian, and Zhangqiu, and leave a little thought for the little devils to see if they will send additional troops to reinforce Zhoucun and Zhangdian in the next step, and whether they can create more fighters. At the same time, he ordered Li Qing and the Seventh Brigade to immediately replenish the captured weapons and ammunition after rushing to the battlefield, and if the captured tanks and artillery could be used, they would immediately equip the Third Brigade to strengthen the attacking force. After that, the 3rd and 7th Brigades were transferred to rest and recuperate on the spot, paying attention to air defense. In the evening, the 3rd Brigade and the 7th Brigade advanced westward from the south and north of the road respectively, and waited for concealment on both sides of Zhangqiu, preparing to annihilate the troops who might come to reinforce Zhoucun and Zhangdian.

After reading Liu Yimin's telegram, Li Qing knew that Liu Yimin still wanted to continue fishing, and if he ate another bite of fat, he didn't know if the little devil would cooperate. Whatever, let's get ready first.

Just when Li Qing commanded the 3rd Brigade to clean up the battlefield, the military column of the 25th Brigade Rear Guard Brigade rushed to Jinling Station.

At this point in the battle, although the concealed movement is still emphasized, it is clear that the importance of the speed of movement has exceeded the concealment. By the time Peng Hu, the head of the 12th Regiment of the 4th Brigade, and Shi Tugen, the political commissar, led the 12th Regiment, the brigade engineer battalion, and the guard battalion to Jinling Station, Wang Shuyou, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the 4th Brigade, and Shi Qianli, the instructor, had already arrived, and they also used sabers to clean up the devil stationmaster and a garrison team at the station.

The cavalry battalion of the Fourth Brigade was a prestigious force, which made the original 10th Division suffer under the city of Cangzhou. They were very familiar with the use of electric explosives, and before the 12th Regiment arrived, they planted explosives on the roadbed. Moreover, the explosives are very knowledgeable, and they are calculated according to the speed of the train and the length of the carriage and the locomotive.

Jinling is the iron ore area of Jinling Mining in later generations, and it is also one of the main supply bases of iron ore in Shandong, and there are many industrial and mining enterprises along the railway. At this time, due to the invasion of Yueben, the mines that had been mined since the Spring and Autumn Period were occupied by the Yuebing army, and the iron ore was transported to Yueben through Qingdao. Moreover, the iron ore associated with the copper ore here is of high grade, and after the little devil transports the ore back to Yuben, it can not only make iron, steel, but also copper, which is used to make guns, cannons, bullets, and shells, and in turn fight the Chinese. Therefore, the battle plan drafted by Liu Yimin made it very clear that after the occupation of Jinling, all the iron ore from the station and mine must be transported back to the Taiyi Mountains to be used for iron and copper smelting and to provide raw materials for the arsenal. In addition, the technical personnel of the mine must be classified and dealt with, and the technicians must try to capture them and patiently persuade and educate them, so as to enable them to join the Eighth Route Army and maintain the normal production of the mine.

Of course, at this time, we don't care about occupying the mine, and it is important to eliminate the rear guard brigade of the army first.

Peng Hu and Shi Tugen were both company commanders and instructors appointed during the reorganization of Xiangjiang, and they have grown into regiment commanders and political commissars of the Eighth Route Army since the Long March.

Seeing that the cavalry battalion had done everything that needed to be done, and looked at the piles of stones piled up on the platform of the station, Peng Hu knew that it was the iron ore mentioned in the battle plan.

Peng Hu couldn't understand how the division commander could know so much because he was not very old, and he even knew that there was iron ore on this railway station, and he really didn't understand what else he didn't know in this world.

After thinking about it, Peng Hu smiled, the division commander is full of knowledge, the iron ore here is not only now, Xiao said that he is in urgent need of steel to fight, and after a few comparisons, the division commander does not need special reconnaissance, he can know that there must be iron ore on the station here. If there is no iron ore, it is not right. It turns out that Zhuge Liang's ability to pinch and calculate in the drama is similar to the wisdom of the teacher, which is all knowledge and analysis. It seems that I still have to step up my study, there are too many things I don't know, and I am far from the learning cadres that the division commander said. If nothing else, if the division commander lets himself manage this mine, then he will have to be blind.

No one could have imagined that a soldier who was born in rural Jiangxi and was illiterate since childhood could realize that wisdom equals knowledge and analysis at the small Jinling Station. This is where Liu Yimin excels, and through study, he will turn almost illiterate cadres and fighters into knowledge-based and learning-oriented talents who are thoughtful, educated, and have the ability to analyze and make judgments, so that the entire instructor will become a knowledge-based and learning-oriented army.

Such an army is invincible!

The little devil may be coming soon, Peng Hu didn't have time to think further, and immediately ordered Wang Shuyou and Shi Qianli to leave the sappers in charge of electric explosives, and cooperate with the engineer battalion to prepare to blow up the devil's army, and the cavalry battalion continued to disguise the army to move towards Zhangdian and Zhoucun, find out the enemy's situation, and wait for an opportunity to attack and occupy Zhoucun and Zhangdian. The battalions of the 12th Regiment and the engineer battalion and the guard battalion were ordered to quickly deploy and prepare to ambush the little devil guard brigade.

After the troops were deployed, Peng Hu vaguely heard an explosion coming from the east of Linzi not long ago, he knew that it must be the main force of the Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade that had launched an attack successively, and couldn't help but look at his watch and said to the political commissar Shi Tugen: "How do the little devils grind, waiting makes people anxious." ”

Shi Tugen was actually very anxious, but he endured his surname, and when he heard Peng Hu say this, he said with a smile: "Maybe the little devil's neck hasn't been washed yet, and I'm afraid of soiling our knife, so I'm busy queuing up on the train to wash my neck!" ”

Peng Hu listened to the humor of what the political commissar said, and he also smiled: "I like to fight devils the most." The little devil is short and strong, with a high level of shooting, a high level of stabbing, and he doesn't want to die when he charges, a bit like a wild boar in the mountains, full of fangs, very fierce, and fun to fight. ”

Shi Tugen sighed and said, "Commander, what you said makes sense. But have you thought about it? If our instructors have won many battles, captured a lot, are well equipped, and have strong men and horses, they will often use the little devil brigades and divisions to open the knife, and they are invincible. However, there are still many units in China that do not have the same equipment as ours and do not have the same level of training as ours, so their combat effectiveness is naturally low. They fought with devils, with old-fashioned rifles, and some regiments didn't even have mortars, and they were fighting devils with all their blood. If they fight against the little devils, the little devils will inevitably have the upper hand, and often before the devils have entered the firing range, the defenders will be bombed by the devils' aircraft and artillery and suffer heavy casualties. This is also one of the main reasons why little devils are so rampant. ”

Peng Hu said: "It's still the old saying of the division commander, one is to fight a command, the second is to fight equipment, and the third is to fight. If we hadn't had enough high-power explosives and been able to detonate electronically, this would not have been the case. ”

While the two were talking, the scout reported that the Devil Army was about to arrive.

Peng Hu stopped talking to Shi Tugen and ordered his troops to prepare for battle.

The little devil didn't have that many armored patrol cars at his disposal, and the guard brigade was on a coal truck.

It may be that he is in a hurry to catch up with the main force of the brigade in front, and the devil army is about to enter the station without slowing down, sounding the whistle and preparing to pass quickly. As a result, the little devils wanted to pass the station quickly, but the Eighth Route Army wanted to destroy them here. As a result, after a loud rumbling sound, the Devil Army was like a frozen dead snake, paralyzed under the roadbed.

This coal car is different from the ticket car, as soon as the train overturns, all the little devils are thrown out of the carriage and thrown to the ground.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army opened fire, and the infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine guns of the 12th Regiment and the battalions and companies were all aimed at the little devil lying on the ground. Artillery shells were exploding, machine guns were strafing, and these devils, who were still arrogant and sitting on the train to exchange their experiences in China's robbery and murder, all became the prey of the Eighth Route Army and were ruthlessly slaughtered.

The captain of the devil brigade was injured after overturning the car, one arm was broken, and he grinned in pain, and he wanted to curse two sentences, calling the health soldiers to bandage him, but the Eighth Route Army hit this one, and the captain of the devil brigade forgot about the pain, crawled on the ground, and kept shouting at the ghost soldiers who had fainted to wake up quickly, and use the overturned military column as a cover to shoot at the Eighth Route Army.

Most of the little devils were injured in the rollover, but the severity varied. The Eighth Route Army concentrated on firepower, not to mention the dead, not to mention the seriously wounded, they were unable to move, and they had only one ending: they were killed. Those lightly injured devils were sober at this time, grabbed guns with guns, and drilled into the carriages without grabbing them, trying to dodge the shells and bullets of the Eighth Route Army with the cover of the train.

At this time, it was obviously too late to organize resistance. The rifle shooters of the Eighth Route Army began to shoot, and they unhurriedly chased the little devils who tried to resist and tried to find cover, one shot at a time, and started a devil-killing competition.

The end of the Devil's Guard Brigade has arrived.
