He knew that the east was the Wei River, and once his main force caught up and the Eighth Route Army was exposed to the Wei River, there would be only one dead end. He never dreamed that the Eighth Route Army would deal him a heavy blow in Shijiabu!
Looking at the combat vehicles, armored vehicles and car wreckage in front of him, Nobuo Tanaka felt that all this was so unreal and should not have happened!
The truth was so cruel, the smoking iron armor remains, the pungent smell of burning gasoline engine oil, and the smell of burnt corpses stimulated him so much that he had to cover his nose, and Tanaka Nobuo Osa's surprised eyes stared at the tragic situation in front of him through the thick lenses.
After the ambush, the Fourth Column Cavalry Battalion of the Eighth Route Army patted its butts and walked away, and the dust raised by the war horses gradually moved to the east.
Nobuo Tanaka was hesitating whether he should catch up, and now he had a little fear, afraid that there was a trap waiting for him in front of him. Besides, he has already recovered the front line of Guanzhuang and Jingzhi, which can be regarded as a success.
Nobuo Tanaka ordered the engineers and baggage soldiers to dispose of the remains of the soldiers killed in the battle, clean up the wreckage of combat vehicles, armored vehicles, and automobiles, and ordered the radio station to contact Shiro Daisa of the 212th Wing to inquire about the situation on the battlefield on the front line of Chaigou.
Keitoshi Shiro Osaku telegraphed back that the battle had begun in the morning at the Battle of Miaojiatun, and that the small units of the Eighth Route Army had attacked the chariot detachment under his command and suffered heavy losses. However, after the troops were deployed, the imperial army's artillery superiority and air superiority were brought into play, and the Tuba Road had no chance to take advantage of it, and it could not gain a foothold under the pressure of the imperial army's firepower, and constantly abandoned the small villages that were firmly entrenched, and fought and retreated in the direction of Chaigou and Jinggou. Up to now, he is mainly using the two regiments of Ludong and Pingjian ** to attack, and the main losses of the 212 Wing are not very large.
Keito Shiro Osaku urged Tanaka Nobuo Osaku to speed up the attack, quickly cross the Wei River, flank the Eighth Route Army, and gather the Eighth Route Army on the line of Chaigou and Jinggou.
From the morning to the present, in addition to bombardment with artillery, aircraft bombing, and the release of special smoke, the main reason why the Guanzhuang front line is progressing smoothly is that he invested the main force of the 211 Wing to undertake the attack mission, and the puppet army only played a leading role. Fighting back and forth, the losses of his 211 Wing were much greater than those of the 212 Wing, not only was the tank detachment completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, but the four infantry brigades under his command were also reduced by more than a quarter, and one and a half brigades were gone.
Looking at my watch, it was only 11 o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining in the sky, and from time to time there were planes of the air force rushing in the direction of the escape of the Eighth Route Army.
Nobuo Tanaka was relieved, in broad daylight, there was an air force, and even if there was a conspiracy, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to succeed. He wants to catch up and destroy the dirt hachi that has caused him great losses.
This time, Nobuo Tanaka changed his strategy and ordered all infantry brigades to follow, Lu Dong and Pingjian's Hu Dingsan Special Service Regiment, Hu Dianying's Independent Regiment, Xu Zichang's Pistol Brigade, Su Jingyu's Second Pistol Brigade in front, and Han Shouchen's Independent Tenth Regiment to speed up, keep up with the main force, and join the battle. Templars,
After the adjustment and deployment was completed, Nobuo Tanaka raised his command knife and ordered all troops to pursue quickly.
Due to the Japanese army's strengthened control and training of Li Wenli Ludong and Pingjian**, all units were under the command of Japanese military instructors, and Tanaka Nobuo's orders were carried out to the letter. So, the puppet army was in front and the Japanese army was behind, and in the direction of the retreat of the Eighth Route Army, the troops split the road and launched a crazy pursuit.
The Japanese puppet army was chasing, but the Eighth Route Army used villages, sorghum fields, and small hills to cover the enemy, constantly blocking and delaying the enemy, and retreating after a while, leading the Japanese puppet army to the Wei River.
When they were chasing to the Wei River, the main force of Nobuo Tanaka Osaku converged with the troops chasing down from the direction of Jingzhi.
Attacking in the direction of Jingzhi were the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 211th Wing, the 3rd Independent Regiment of Shan Xunchen and the 8th Independent Regiment of Wang Zichun. The combat methods were the same as those used by Nobuo Tanaka to attack Guanzhuang, which were also bombarded by artillery, bombed by aircraft, and smoked by poison gas bombs. That's it, the Japanese puppet army also suffered heavy losses.
The two troops converged, and Tanaka Nobuo Osa was more confident.
This Wei River, in the past, also had a name called Huai River, which is the transliteration of the bad river. Because the Weihe River frequently breaches and floods, the masses in Changyi and Weixian counties in the lower reaches often say: "After opening Wujiaman, Changyi and Weixian followed." opened the Red Cliff Pass, and Changyi and Weixian followed. "Tianjiawan was opened, and the east was flooded for half a day. After crossing the Jiaolai River, it flooded Sanhe Mountain". Including the Xiangzhou Street where the headquarters of Liu and Luo are now located, it is also because the village is close to Weishui, because of the impermanence of Weishui's diversion, the villagers suffer from migration and drifting, just like a boat in the water, so it is called "Xiangzhou", which later evolved into Xiangzhou.
The situation of frequent breaches and river diversions in the lower reaches of the Weihe River was not completely changed until the construction of the Xiashan Reservoir, the largest reservoir in Shandong, after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
This area is already part of the alluvial Jiaolai Plain of the Wei River.
The Wei River is not navigable in this area, and the riverbed is wide, at least seven or eight hundred meters. During the dry season, passers-by can wade across the river on foot.
If there was a heavy rainstorm and a flood some time ago, the little devil would cross the river and become a fish and turtle. Now that the flood waters have receded, the Weihe River has returned to its clear water. When the Japanese puppet army pursued to the Wei River, they saw the scene of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army crossing the Wei River on horseback.
Across the Wei River, the rumbling cannons of Jinggou and Chaigou can be heard clearly, and even the sun can be seen
The army's fighters flew in groups of two and four in the direction of Jinggou and Chaigou.
Weihe didn't know that the two armies on the ground were sacrificing their lives to fight, and they were still singing songs to the north, and from time to time fish jumped out of the shallow water, presenting the waves to the brilliant sun.
The 32nd Division of the Japanese Army has been stationed in Ludong for a long time, and when there is no combat mission, it conducts training, and it has the subject of offensive and defensive training on the Weihe River, and all units have experience in organizing the rush to cross the Weihe.
The puppet army forward began to tremble and cross the river on foot, Tanaka Nobuo's hands holding the binoculars were nervously oozing sweat, his heart rose to his throat, and his eyes were watching the movement on the other side. ,
Not bad, the river only soaked into the calves of the puppet soldiers, and through the binoculars, you can clearly see the scene of the puppet soldiers raising their guns above their heads and wading through the water on foot.
The Eighth Route Army on the opposite bank fired, and the bullet hit the vanguard of the puppet army in the middle of the river, and in an instant, a trace of blood red floated out of the clear Weihe River.
Nobuo Tanaka was relieved, the Eighth Route Army wanted to rely on the Wei River to hold on, block the imperial army's large forces on the west bank of the Wei River, and prevent the 211 Wing from joining the 212 Wing, so as not to be attacked from both sides.
This, in line with the laws of the battlefield!
At this time, Nobuo Tanaka remembered Han Shouchen's 10th Independent Regiment of Lu Dongjian, who was at the end, and immediately called Hu Dingsan, commander of the Ludong Peace Construction ** Command and head of the special service regiment, and asked him to immediately order Han Shouchen's 10th Independent Regiment to quickly cross the river, enter the attack and combat with the attitude of a new force, and seize the position on the east bank of the Wei River.
Hu Dingsan muttered and reported that Han Shouchen's 10th Independent Regiment did not follow up, but issued a banner report that it had been ordered by the imperial army to take up the task of covering the right flank, and turned around and went south along the road from Anqiu and Guanzhuang to Zhucheng. He has already sent a special battalion to catch up with him to inquire, but he has not replied so far.
Tanaka Nobuo's throat was sweet, and a mouthful of hot blood spurted out, spraying the translator's face into red paint.
was so panicked that Hu Dingsan hurriedly stepped forward and shouted "Taijun, Taijun".
After Tanaka Nobuo Dazuo stabilized his mind, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then said coldly: "I only now understand that we are in the hands of the Eighth Route Army again." The Eighth Route Army's attacks on Guanzhuang, Jingzhi, Jinggou, and Chaigou were aimed at mobilizing us and covering the defection of Han Shouchen's 10th Independent Regiment. I said how Tubalu fled in the direction of the Weihe River, it turned out that it was to lead us to pursue to the east, so that Han Shouchen's troops could take the opportunity to escape south. Baga, the earth eight roads are very cunning! ”
As soon as Tanaka Nobuo's words were translated by the translator, Hu Dingsan also panicked, he felt sorry for his spy battalion!
Hu Dingsan immediately suggested stopping the pursuit across the river, attacking and advancing in the direction of Zhucheng, catching up with Han Shouchen, and destroying the rebels!
Nobuo Tanaka turned around and glanced in the direction of Zhucheng, shook his head, and said viciously: "Our task is to cross the Wei River, flank and destroy the Eighth Route Army. Zhucheng does not go for the time being, there must be a large army of the Eighth Route Army to meet Han Shouchen's department, there are traps, and there are dangers. The Eighth Route Army, which fled across the Wei River, has been routed by our army, and the 212th Wing and Ludong and Pingjian** are waiting for us to cross the river and attack. Quickly cross the river, hesitate not to, destroy the fleeing Eighth Route Army, and flank the Eighth Route Army in Jinggou and Chaigou. Han Shouchen's can't escape in the end! ”
After speaking, Nobuo Tanaka sent a report to the division commander, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo, about the defection of the 10th Independent Regiment of Ludong and Hepingjian ** Han Shouchen in the direction of Zhucheng, and asked the division commander to order the aviation unit to send planes to reconnoiter and search in the direction of Zhucheng and eliminate Han Shouchen's troops.
After sending the telegram, Nobuo Tanaka ordered the puppet army to take the lead and the troops quickly rush to cross the Wei River.
The field artillery brigade of the Japanese army, the artillery of the wing artillery, and the infantry artillery of the infantry brigade have been erected, and with the order of Nobuo Tanaka, artillery fire has begun to cover.
The devil instructors commanded the various units of the puppet army to set up light and heavy machine guns, and slammed towards the opposite bank to cover the troops crossing the river.
The Japanese puppet army did not hesitate to pour ammunition on the opposite bank, and from the telescope, you can clearly see the scene of the Eighth Route Army's position being bombarded on the other side, and even the scene of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army being thrown high by shells.
With such powerful firepower, the Eighth Route Army on the other side of the river couldn't raise its head at all! After the 10-minute artillery bombardment was over, he called in the aviation unit to carry out a high-intensity fire strike on the opposite bank to cover the smooth crossing of the river.
The Japanese planes, which were bombing on the Jinggou and Chaigou lines, turned around and pounced on the Weihe River, and in groups of four, they began to strafe and bomb frantically.
Under the cover of strong firepower, the puppet army's vanguard unit Xu Zichang's pistol brigade finally crossed the Wei River and rushed to the position of the Eighth Route Army.
After receiving the flag that Xu Zichang's department had successfully occupied the position of the Eighth Route Army, Tanaka Nobuo Osaku said yes, and immediately ordered the main force of the Japanese puppet army to cross the river and pursue the Eighth Route Army.
Groups of Japanese puppet troops rushed down the river beach and rushed towards the Wei River.
Even the artillery positions of the Japanese stopped shelling, and the artillerymen led pack horses and drove the artillery wagons to the river, preparing to cross the river and establish positions. Even Nobuo Tanaka stepped on his war horse, rushed towards the river, and crossed the river to command.
Everything seems to be working well and well!
Nobuo Tanaka didn't know that the place where he crossed the river was the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Weishui during the Chu and Han Dynasty hegemony.
In 204 BC, Han Xin led his troops to destroy the state of Zhao, marched eastward, and broke through the city of Linzi under Tian Guang, the king of Qi. Tian Guang fled to Gaomi on the east bank of the Wei River and sent envoys to Xiang Yu for help. Long He was ordered by Xiang Yu to lead an army of 200,000 to fight Han Xin, and rushed to the edge of Weishui non-stop to confront the Han army across the bank. When the Chu army first came, its morale was strong. The dragon is brave and good at fighting, and has the courage of ten thousand people, threatening to destroy Han in a war. Han Xin struggled to find a way to defeat the Chu army, and stayed awake all night. He heard that there was an ancestral hall of Huang Shigong in the nearby mountains, and it turned out that this Huangshi Gong was the legendary god who taught Zhang Liangtianshu, so he went to the Huanggong Temple alone one night, burned incense and bowed down. On the first night of the decisive battle, he ordered the sergeants to use more than 10,000 cloth bags, filled with sand, and intercept the flow at the canyon in the upper reaches of the Wei River at night. The next day, the battle began, and as soon as the Han army and the Long and Chu army engaged, they were defeated and retreated. The dragon did not know what the plan was, he personally led the army to cross the river in pursuit, the horse went to the river, saw that there was a wooden pole straight upright, and looked carefully at the line of words on it: "The dragon died here", the dragon was furious, and rushed straight to the opposite bank, Han Xin urgently ordered the sergeant to dig a dam and release the water, and the upstream water was impounded and poured down, like a frightened dragon, the Chu army that was crossing the river suddenly made a fish and turtle, and the remaining Chu army was separated on both banks. Han Xin's army violently attacked the Chu army that crossed the river, and the dragon was outnumbered and stabbed to death by the baby. Seeing this, the Chu soldiers on the other side fled one after another, and the Chu army was defeated. Han Xin's army pursued the victory and occupied all the land of Qi in one fell swoop, thus reversing the tide of the battle in which Chu was strong and Han was weak. The Battle of Weishui greatly weakened Xiang Yu's strength and made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty.
The place where Han Xin built the dam to renew the water is in Guxian Village, near Xiangzhou Street, which is more than ten kilometers upstream from here. Xiang Yu, the general who failed due to arrogance, was also buried in Shangjiayu, a few kilometers away from here.
Su Dongpo sighed in "The Tale of Transcendent Taiwan": "The north is overlooking the water, and the sigh is too resting, thinking about the work of Huaiyin and hanging it endlessly." "It's the story of the Weishui War.
On the Weihe River on the east side of Guxian Village, there are two small mountains with an altitude of less than 200 meters on both sides, and the Weihe River flows through here and the river surface narrows sharply, forming a throat area. The rushing water crashed against the rocky cliffs with a deafening roar. The river passes through the gorge and into the alluvial plain, where the riverbed widens again and the flow slows.
At this moment, Yuan Guoping, the political commissar of the Fourth Column of the Eighth Route Army, was standing by the Wei River, ready to give the order to open the dam and release water.
Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin during the Chu and Han dynasties, could think of the tricks of building a dam to block the water and using the water to defeat the enemy, and Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Yuan Guoping, who were familiar with the history of Chinese wars, could naturally also think of it. The strategy of building a dam overnight at the site of Han Xinba to block the water and flooding the Japanese puppet army was thought up by Yuan Guoping. At this time, the Wei River has a large amount of water and can accumulate a large amount of water resources, once the dam is broken and waterproofed, the Japanese puppet army who is crossing the river is unlucky!
Liu and Luo, who gladly accepted Yuan Guoping's suggestion, ordered the Fourth Column Engineer Regiment to command the former migrant workers to build a sandbag dam on the site of the Hanxin Dam overnight with 50,000 sacks filled with sand, gravel and soil, thus turning the Weihe River water into a reservoir. The river water downstream is naturally extremely shallow, which does not affect people and horses to cross the river.
Han Xin used 10,000 sacks that year, and the Eighth Route Army used 50,000 sacks!
This move is a bit damaged, but against the Japanese puppet army, the more the loss of the move, the better!
The news of the Japanese puppet army's large-scale crossing of the river came over the radio, and Yuan Guoping did not hesitate anymore and shouted to the commander of the Fourth Column Engineer Corps: "Detonate! Water! ”
The sappers pressed the detonator, and in an instant, there were several loud bangs, and the dam made of sandbags was blown open, and the water broke through the dam, tumbling and roaring, and tornadid downstream.
Yuan Guoping looked at the rolling waves, and he was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect it to be as powerful!
After the Japanese puppet army rushed down the river beach, they swarmed to the riverbed, scrambling to cross the river, the river section of several miles long was yellow and mushy, the crowds were crowded, and the pack horses neighed, so not spectacular!
Nobuo Tanaka rode a snow-white Anglo-Norman horse, which was fast. At this time, he had already crossed the bed of the Wei River and had just come ashore.
Nobuo Tanaka was indeed a very dedicated officer, and as soon as he came ashore, he urged the radio station to turn on quickly, and contacted the 212th Wing of Keito Shiro Osa, ready to cooperate with the battle.
As soon as he gave the order, Nobuo Tanaka heard a thunderous whistling sound, and looked up, Mom, how did a giant dragon rush down from the upper reaches of the Wei River?
It was indeed a giant dragon, a vengeful dragon formed by the water of the Wei River, roaring, rolling, and opening its bloody mouth, and pounced on the little devil!
The speed of the torrent was so fast, and before Tanaka Nobuo Dasa could react, he rushed to his eyes. The Japanese puppet army who was wading across the river couldn't run, and they couldn't even make a crying sound, and they stared at the surging high tide with frightened eyes, sifting chaff all over their bodies, and couldn't move their feet.
Under the torrent, devils, traitors, pack horses, cannons, can only be floating objects in the torrent!
People or for fish and turtles!
Nobuo Tanaka's bones were all sucked away and turned into a mess of mud, and he sat down on the ground and muttered stupidly: "Amaterasu, Amaterasu, Amaterasu!" ”
