, Chapter 1078 Night Sweep

PS: Thank you book friend my7324 for voting! Thank you, my friend!

Liu Yimin did a lot of calculations, but he couldn't have imagined that Iida Zhengu, the commander of the 12th Army and the head of the dignified Guards Division, didn't even have the courage to let go of the battle, so he abandoned the city and fled!

After receiving an urgent telegram from the Jinan underground party, Cai Zhong said with a smile on his horse: "The little devil is afraid!" ”

Liu Yimin smiled coldly: "What they are afraid of is still behind!" ”

Luo Ronghuan looked at his watch and said to Liu Yimin: "Commander, the enemy situation has changed. As soon as Iida Sadagu fled, the Japanese army was likely afraid of being annihilated and would not venture alone. The original plan of rapidly advancing eastward to meet the 32nd and 36th divisions of the Japanese army had to be changed. They are likely to wait for the arrival of the Japanese armored group in Jiaodong and then fight side by side to Jinan. The 2nd Guards Division, the 9th Division, and the 27th Division of the Japanese Army on the Southern Front would stop at most after advancing to Tai'an. Maybe the 40th, 41st, and 37th Divisions of the Japanese Army on the northern front will also honestly withdraw to Dezhou and stick to the Jinpu Road. They had the support of the Japanese army in Jilubian, southern Hebei, and central Hebei, and they could not move. I felt that we should change the battle plan, kill back the carbine, and destroy the 29th Division of the Japanese Army in central and southern Lu. Let's first restore our base areas in central and southern Lu. ”

What Luo Ronghuan said is reasonable, Jinan was lost, and the headquarters of the Twelfth Army evacuated Jinan, and it may have been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. Under the frightened fear, the surrounding Japanese troops will inevitably shrink quickly, huddle into a group, form hedgehogs one by one, and then roll to Jinan to attack and attack Jinan together. Moreover, the 29th Division of the Japanese Army in central and southern Lu will inevitably retreat immediately after learning of the loss of Jinan. As for whether to withdraw to the original defensive area of Longhai Road or to withdraw to Jiaoji Road, it is difficult to say, and it is also possible to advance in the direction of Jinan and block the back road of our army's retreat to the Taiyi Mountains. It depends on how bold Tada Jun is. However, no matter whether he retreated to the south or to the south, he would be blocked by our Thundering Fourth Column and Wang Nanhu Twelfth Column, so as to gain time for the main force to arrive.

Liu Yimin resolutely adjusted his deployment and ordered Gao Yuan, Cheng Cuilin, and Hu Laohu to command a column and a brigade and a cavalry group to continue to carry out the battle plan, sweep the Japanese puppet army strongholds on the periphery of Jinan, enter and occupy Jinan City, and pursue and annihilate the Japanese puppet army fleeing in the direction of Luokou; ordered the engineer brigade to be lightly armed, directly inserted into Luokou, commanded the troops in the Jinan guerrilla area, and controlled the Yellow River defense line; ordered the artillery column, the 1st Column, the 2nd Brigade, the 3rd Brigade, the Air Defense Brigade, and the Baggage Brigade to return the same way, and prepare to cooperate with the thundering 4th Column and the 10th Column of Wang Nanhu to encircle and annihilate the 29th Division of the Japanese Army hanging in central and southern Shandong; ordered Lei Ming, Yuan Guoping, Wang Nanhu, and Tang Liang to command the main force of the fourth column and the main force of the twelfth column to monitor the actions of the 29th Division, besiege it, flank it, and weaken it, so that it could not quickly escape from the central and southern Lu area, and wait for the main force to arrive and annihilate it in one fell swoop, and clear the central and southern Lu division; ordered Li Qing to command the three columns to seize Zhangqiu, quickly establish a consolidated position, and defend to the east; ordered Wang Jian'an and Zhang Haitao in the Taixi region to command the Ninth Column to establish a blocking position in the mountains between Tai'an and Jinan and defend to the south; Hong Chaoyuan was ordered to command the Fifth Column and the troops of the Lunan Military Region, local armed forces, and militia to carry out pursuit operations and harassment operations against the Japanese Ninth Division and the Second Guards Division, and delay their encirclement of Jinan; ordered Liu Jianli to command the second column to pursue and flank the Japanese retreating from Luxi; Chen Shiqu, who ordered Chen Shiqu in southwest Lu, to command the main force of the 10th column, break away from contact with the Japanese army in southwest Lu, quickly move north, join up with the second column, and leave the local armed forces of the southwest Lu Military Region to monitor the enemy in southwest Lu; ordered Zhang Haitao and Fu Zhuting to command the troops of the Sixth Column and the Hebei-Shandong Border Region to break the Jinpu Road and force the main force of the Japanese 110th Division to return to defend the Jinpu Road; Chen Dayong was ordered to command the 7th, 8th, and 11th Columns to block the reinforcement of Jinan by means of blocking, ambushing, raiding, mine warfare, and sabotaging communications.

After giving the order, Liu Yimin said to Cai Zhong: "Lao Cai, let's say goodbye for the time being, you go to Jinan City, perform the duties of the acting mayor of Jinan City, and the Engineer Brigade, the Military Region Guard Regiment, the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Political Participation Association Guard Regiment, and the Jinan Guerrilla Zone troops are all under your command, quickly control the Jinan area, restore our anti-Japanese democratic regime, resolutely suppress traitors, and ensure the stability of Jinan City." The 1st Column Panzer Group, the 1st Brigade, and the Cavalry Corps will withdraw as soon as they have completed their tasks tonight, pursue us, and take part in the battle to encircle and annihilate the 29th Division. Remember, tell Ren Chaoran, give me the river defense. Without my orders, you must not retreat until the last soldier! ”

Cai Zhong immediately saluted Liu Yimin and turned around to take the horse away, Liu Yimin called out to him and explained: "The first battalion of guards is responsible for your safety, and you must not be separated for a moment." After arriving in Jinan, a press conference will be held in the names of Liu and Luo early tomorrow morning to announce the occupation of Jinan by our army. It is impossible for Iida Sadagu and his 12th Army Headquarters to escape tonight, but regardless of whether they escape or not, it must be announced that Iida Sadagu and the 12th Army Headquarters escaped by night, leaving some thoughts for the little devils and making them have more scruples. It is necessary to organize more reports on the news of our inspection of the front line of river defense, the Taixi area, and the Qinghe area, and put on the posture that our army wants to hold Jinan and seek opportunities to annihilate the Japanese army all the way, so as to gain time for the annihilation of the 29th Division. You can rest assured, the engineer brigade is a strong main force, and on the northern front, there are our second, ninth, and sixth columns to contain and threaten the Japanese army, and it is impossible for the devils to immediately launch an attack on the Yellow River defense in the short term. When the main force of our army annihilated the 29th Division, the Japanese army will be further mobilized. We will also have new fighters, and the little devils want to reoccupy Jinan, so they will have to wait until they gather enough strength. ”

Cai Zhong laughed: "Don't worry! I'll definitely play a good show and deceive it to death*** little devil! ”

Liu Yimin confessed again: "You bring Guo Huaruo and let him be the chief of staff for you!" ”

After the abolition of the Ludong Command, Guo Huaruo returned to the military region with Tan Zheng and Xu Guangda, and has been on standby in the staff office.

Cai Zhong immediately instructed Guo Huaruo to take two operational staff officers, a confidential staff officer, and a radio station to follow his actions, and also ordered Wang Pengju, chief of the Propaganda Section of the Political Department, to take a working group to Jinan to carry out propaganda work.

After Guo Huaruo and Wang Pengju picked their respective staff, Liu, Luo, and Cai immediately said goodbye and went their separate ways.

From Dengzhuang to Jinan, a total of more than 80 miles, tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, and three-wheeled motorcycles can arrive in a little more than an hour of normal driving, cavalry needs about two and a half hours, artillery needs three hours, and infantry needs six or seven hours.

In order to speed up the attack, the troops had already been organized before the war, and all the cars and horses of our army were used, plus the war horses captured in the battle of Dengzhuang that were ready to be distributed to the cavalry columns, and the first column and one brigade except for the first regiment and the second regiment were partially armored vehicles and cars, and the rest of the troops were all on horseback and turned into cavalry, so that the marching speed was faster.

Iida Zhengu died at Zhangzhuang Airport during the escape, and the main force of the Jinan garrison covered the various organs of the Japanese puppet in Jinan to flee in the direction of Luokou, trains, cars, carriages and even rickshaws were pouring towards Luokou, and they also counted on the puppet army in the surrounding area of Jinan to block and cover the escape of the Japanese army, is that possible?

When the huge armored aircraft group of the Eighth Route Army appeared on the ground of Licheng with the lights on, the puppet army troops who received the stubborn defense on the spot to block the Eighth Route Army exploded, their stronghold was on the periphery of Jinan, and they were shot for the little devils.

Behind the armored group, followed by a group of cavalry with torches. The headlights and torches form a flowing Milky Way around Jinan, which is particularly beautiful at night.

The puppet soldiers didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery, and their courage was broken.

When you are a puppet army, you are generally spineless goods. If you have a little backbone, who wants to wear that yellow dog skin? Even if the Japanese army captures the strong man, can't he drag the gun and run away or fight with the Japanese army with the gun? In short, a thousand words and ten thousand, still lack a backbone.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army slaughtered in a big way, and the puppet troops in the various strongholds on the ground of Licheng in the east of Jinan basically began to flee one by one under the cover of night. However, there were more than 1,000 tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles of the Eighth Route Army, and the lights illuminated the rabbits in the field, not to mention the puppet army troops!

Either surrender on the spot, or be killed by the vehicle-mounted artillery fire and vehicle-mounted machine guns of the Eighth Route Army! Even if they dodged the headlights of the armored aircraft group, the cavalry teams of the Eighth Route Army that followed behind would drown them under the hooves of the horses. Unless they surrender on their knees!

The motors were roaring, the tracks and wheels were turning, and the armored assault group of the Eighth Route Army was assaulting at the fastest speed.

The county brigade, district squad, and militia squad came out of the tunnel, intercepted the fleeing puppet army, and assisted the main force in capturing the prisoners. When the common people of Licheng, who had been bullied by the Japanese puppet army, saw that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had returned, where could they still hold on, carrying hoes and knives and wooden sticks, they joined the pursuit and happily helped the militia to seize the booty.

At this time, as soon as the enemy situation became clear, Jinan City became an empty city, and the main force of the Japanese Jinan garrison was fleeing in the direction of Luokou, but it had been controlled by the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron and the No. 1 Sniper Squadron commanded by Wang Laohu. In the direction of Zhangzhuang, a part of the Japanese army was fighting fiercely with Wang Dongqiang.

Gao Yuan, the commander of the first column who served as the commander of the former enemy, ordered the armored group and the first brigade to rush to the railway line between Jinan and Luokou with all their might, and ordered three regiments of Hu Laohu's cavalry column to sweep the area around Jinan and occupy Jinan.

The commander of the armored regiment, Zhao Dahe, simply exposed his body from the turret of the command vehicle, observed the battlefield situation, and commanded the troops to make a rapid assault.

Crossing the Jiaoji Road and crossing the Xiaoqinghe Highway Bridge, the Eighth Route Army's armored aircraft group shot at the Luokou Railway Bridge like a sharp sword.

This night, the surroundings of Jinan were completely boiling!
