Chapter 2 Cutting off heads, breaking stomachs, and breaking tails

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese puppet army in Anjiazhuang finally finished unloading the ammunition, flour, and rice carried by the convoy. Immediately afterwards, the Japanese puppet army began to get busy, lighting a fire to cook, steaming rice dumplings and steamed buns, apparently preparing to send tomorrow's dry food to the front line.

In the old Anjia Village, there are scolding and laughing of Japanese soldiers everywhere.

At this time, the Japanese puppet army was relatively paralyzed, and they didn't know that the wings of death had been stirred up on their heads, so they were waiting to take their lives!

At this time, a young girl wearing a military hat of the Eighth Route Army came out of a well in Anjiazhuang, quietly looked around, then went out of the well, reached out and took out a small pickle, and shot the back of the head of the little devil who was standing next to the wellhead with a gun and watching in the middle of the street.

This young girl is An Xiaoying, the lover of Li Shanzhu, the commander of the 1st Battalion, and the deputy district commander. The little pistol she killed the devil sentry was the small pistol that Li Shanzhu gave her, produced by the German Mauser company, and Li Shanzhu asked her to use it for self-defense.

A shot was fired, An Xiaoying hurriedly put the small pistol into her bag, picked up the 38 big cover of the little devil who fell on the ground, pushed the bullet and loaded it, and "slammed" it at the two devil sentries who were turning their heads to watch 50 meters away when they heard the gunshot.

An Xiaoying is not a real soldier of the Eighth Route Army after all, her marksmanship is not accurate, and she fired with one shot, not only did she not hit the two sentinels, but she alarmed the two devils. I saw that the two devils quickly pounced on the ground, pulled the bolt, and raised their guns to shoot. At this time, the soldiers of the seventh battalion who climbed out of the well after An Xiaoying came up, and after a few shots, the two devil sentries were knocked to the ground. An Xiaoying had the opportunity to untie the devil's grenade and bullet box, and followed the soldiers towards the center of the street.

This Anjiazhuang is a large market town, built in the Xia Dynasty, formerly known as Yong'an Village. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the economy is prosperous here, merchants gather, and the royal road that passes through the whole country passes through here, and it is the famous "thoroughfare of the north and south of Beijing, and the important place of the four commercial ports". In October of the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu in the Northern Song Dynasty (1008 AD), Song Zhenzong set off from Bianjing, went to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and stationed here to settle down, renamed Yong'an Village as Anjiazhuang, and named the place where the royal shì guard was stationed.

During the Battle of Taixi, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army once set up the field hospital and the baggage wing in Anjiazhuang. As a result, they were slaughtered by the Special Operations Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the First Battalion of the Eighth Route Army, which were hidden in the tunnels of Anjiazhuang.

The little devil eats buns and doesn't count, and the baggage convoy is coming to Anjiazhuang again, waiting for them, naturally it is still the same word: death!

An Xiaoying led the way and entered the 7th Battalion of the 3rd Garrison Regiment of the Taixi Garrison Brigade through the tunnel in Anjiazhuang, which was the battalion that originally followed Guo Zheng to block the devils and the whole battalion died heroically. Later, Liu Yimin deliberately transferred backbone personnel from various units to rebuild. As a result of the unification of the unit numbers, the infantry battalions of each brigade were uniformly numbered in the order of the regimental numbers, and the first battalion of the third garrison regiment became seven battalions. This is the unique arrangement method of the number sequence of each unit of the instructor, that is, the unified order of the main force regiments of each main brigade, the eight main force brigades have a total of 24 main force regiments, and the eight new brigades have a total of 24 new regiments, and each garrison brigade and detachment is named after the unit number because it belongs to the local garrison force, and the regiments and battalions of each garrison brigade are arranged separately.

When An Xiaoying fired, gunshots rang out everywhere in Anjiazhuang, and the 7th Battalion of the 3rd Garrison Regiment of the Taixi Garrison Brigade of the Eighth Route Army came out of the courtyards of Anjiazhuang and fired fiercely at the little devil.

The gunfire in the village was equal to Sun Wukong getting into the stomach of the devil, and the main force of the third regiment of the Taixi garrison outside the village immediately launched an attack. Suddenly, the guns and cannons inside and outside the ancient Anjiazhuang rang out.

After the sacrifices of Huang Su and Guo Zheng, Liu Yimin learned from the pain and strengthened the firepower of all garrison brigades and detachments, and each regiment's fire support battalion had a bazooka squad, equipped with four rocket launchers, as well as Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns, mortars, or infantry guns. These weapons were all modified by the Eighth Route Army Arsenal to be able to shoot flat, hitting the Japanese army's brick and wood turrets and pillboxes, one by one.

After the battle began, the Japanese puppet army in the turrets and pillboxes built at the east, west, north, south and north exits of Anjiazhuang Town shot like crazy in an attempt to stop the attack of the Eighth Route Army. However, the Japanese puppet army could not imagine that the Eighth Route Army's means of dealing with them was not to charge infantry, nor to use sappers and infantry to bomb the artillery towers and pillboxes they were guarding with explosives, but to use mortars and infantry guns to shoot flat, and send the shells directly into the shooting holes, and balls of fireballs exploded in the turrets and pillboxes of the little devils, bringing a rain of blood.

If the Taixi Garrison Regiment had the current level of equipment and technical warfare when Jinan was captured, maybe their old regiment commander Guo Zheng would not have died in Anjiazhuang.

The combat effectiveness of the troops is all beaten!

The sudden attack of the Eighth Route Army made the little devil who was cooking in Anjiazhuang a mess.

The devils in the town are all baggage soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is already weak, and the Eighth Route Army suddenly came out of the tunnel to attack, and many little devils are concentrating on supervising the captured people to burn the fire and steam rice and steamed buns.

After all, the 27th Division was the elite of the Japanese army, and the panic of the devil soldiers was only temporary. Soon, the little devil reacted, picked up the gun, leaned on the vehicle, and the courtyard began to fight back. In particular, the machine gun group of the devils, set up on the roof of the car, on the street, to intercept the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

The crazy resistance of the devils caused casualties to the attacking Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army was also distressed about the ammunition on the vehicle, and was unwilling to destroy the vehicle with heavy firepower. In this way, the only way to destroy the last stubborn Japanese army was to rely on rifle shooting. In this way, the devil's support lasted a little longer, and when the third regiment of the Taixi garrison cleaned up the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold and rushed into the town, the shouts of killing became loud.

The little devils in Anjiazhuang had few troops, and they suffered too many casualties in the sudden attack of the Eighth Route Army, and the remnants of the Japanese army who were frantically and stubbornly resisted were named by the Eighth Route Army rifles that controlled the courtyards and went to the roofs, and finally returned to report.

The battle of Anjiazhuang was the same as the ambush operation of the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade, and the battle was fought cleanly, and a small group of Japanese troops stationed in Anjiazhuang, a company of puppet troops, and a squadron of devils and baggage who arrived in Anjiazhuang were wiped out cleanly under the attack of the Eighth Route Army. The ammunition and food of the whole vehicle became the trophies of the Eighth Route Army, and they were soon transferred to the tunnels of the four towns and eight villages. Gao sighed and didn't stop doing it, and commanded the troops to set up an ambush circle north of Anjiazhuang, and taught the little devils reinforcements a hard lesson, so he took the initiative to evacuate.

The third Taixi garrison regiment fought beautifully, and the Taixi garrison brigade and other units of the Tai'an detachment were not idle, and Ping Pong and the little devils worked all night.

All Honma Masayan received overnight was bad news, this guy had to climb down from the body of the little adjutant Hoso, and angrily reported to the headquarters of the Twelfth Army that this battle could not be fought again, and that Tsuchihachi was too cunning and specialized in fighting the baggage team. Without ammunition, rice and flour, how could the warriors of the Imperial Army fight?

Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Iida Sadagu, commander of the Twelfth Army, personally sent him a telegram telling him that the main force of the 10th Division was in Fei County. The front army ordered him to immediately gather his troops, and quickly withdraw to Yanzhou, Jining, Qufu, and Surabaya under the cover of aircraft after dawn, and prepare for a major battle with the Eighth Route Army, waiting for reinforcements.

Honma's eyes were stunned all of a sudden, and it took him a long time to remember that his defenders in Yanzhou, Jining, Surabaya, and Qufu were too weak, and once the Eighth Route Army arrived, it would be easy to swallow his remaining troops in one gulp.

After Honma Masana reacted, he immediately ordered the troops to shrink on all fronts, hold their positions, and strictly prevent the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army. Then, Honma Masaan sent a telegram to the commander of the infantry regiment who remained in Yanzhou, ordering him to immediately and urgently notify the various strongholds, shrink the troops, and rely on aircraft to cover them after dawn, and withdraw to Yanzhou, Jining, Qufu, and Surabaya counties respectively to hold on, and wait for the main force of the division to return.

Honma asked the troops to shrink their defenses, so he had to ask the Taixi Garrison Brigade and the Tai'an Detachment of the Eighth Route Army if they were willing. This time is a good time to fight devils, and the little devils hurriedly shrink and are very flustered. Under the command of Wang Jian'an and Zhang Haitao, the Eighth Route Army was dispatched on all fronts, chasing after all the Japanese troops and beating hard, and the nerves of the little devils were about to collapse.

By dawn, Honma Masaka was stunned as soon as the troops reported their battle losses. In just one night, his 27th Division lost nearly 2,000 men, equivalent to the strength of each brigade in the chain.

At a time when the Japanese army was being severely attacked in southwestern Lu and Taixi, Li Qing, commander of the Qinghe Military Region of the Eighth Route Army and commander of the Third Brigade of Jiaojiao, commanded the Third Brigade, the Fourth Brigade, the Seventh Brigade, the Eighth Brigade, and the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese troops on the East Road, which were reinforcing Jinan, on the long line of communication east of Zhangqiu and west of Gaomi.

Suddenly, from Zhangqiu in the west to Gaomi in the east, the long Jiaoji Road was lit everywhere with anti-Japanese fires.

What a brilliant fire to set the sky on fire!

Since the reorganization of Xiangjiang, Li Qing has been the director of the Political Department of the 18th Red Regiment, the director of the Political Department of the Central Guard Division, and the commander of the 13th Red Division of the Red Seventh Army. After the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, Li Qing served as the instructor and commander of the Third Brigade. Like Liu Jianjian, the commander of the Second Brigade, although he is a brigade commander, he is often ordered to command several brigades to fight, and he is the only general under Liu Yimin.

After receiving the order to command the five main brigades to set up an ambush and annihilate the enemy in Luzhong, Li Qing prepared to concentrate the main force to ambush the Japanese army east of Zhangqiu and west of Zhoucun in accordance with the operational plan of the division headquarters, and strive to defeat the Japanese army's eastern reinforcement forces in World War I. However, on the evening of 6 October, after the 5th Brigade of the Jiao Brigade fought in the direction of Xin'an Town, the enemy on Jiaoji Road did not move, and on the evening of 7 October, after our army fully attacked, the enemy on Jiaoji Road still did not move. It was not until the morning of October 8 that the 32nd Division of the Luzhong Japanese Army, with its headquarters in Zhoucun, and the 36th Division of the Ludong Japanese Army, with its headquarters in Weicheng, took action. However, the *** little devil is becoming more and more cunning, and he knows that he is on guard against an ambush by the Eighth Route Army. The 32nd and 36th Divisions of the Japanese Army did not rush to set off to reinforce Jinan, but only sent vanguard troops and search troops to launch a large-scale search in the direction of Jinan with the Jiaoji Railway and the Jinan-Qingdao Highway as the main line.

If this happens, it will not be possible to set up an ambush between Zhangqiu and Zhoucun.

Strictly speaking, this posture of the Japanese forces in central and eastern Shandong was contrary to the orders of Tada Jun, commander of the North China Front. However, this is also something that cannot be helped, the two commanders of the Twelfth Army were captured alive by the Eighth Route Army, the famous butcher general Gu Shoufu was sentenced by the Eighth Route Army Public Trial, and the equally famous brave general Odaka Kamizo was captured by the Eighth Route Army and sent to the Supreme Court of the Republic of China for trial, and was sentenced to death by hanging. The current commander of the 12th Army, Iida Sadagu, really couldn't afford to lose anyone anymore, so he acted relatively cautiously.

Unlike Tada Jun's judgment that the Eighth Route Army's goal was to reoccupy Jinan, Iida Sadagu felt that Jinan City was not at risk, because Jinan City had strong troops. In addition to the Jinan garrison, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade and the troops directly under the army, there are also a large number of puppet troops. As long as you stick to the city, you can fight with the Eighth Route Army. Even if the Eighth Route Army breaks through the city, as long as it prepares for street fighting in advance, it can support it for a few days with the support of aviation. These few days were enough for reinforcements from the east and west to arrive.

Iida's inherent thinking makes sense.

Recently, Iida Sadagu has concentrated his efforts on reorganizing and training the troops, and not only has the combat effectiveness of the garrison divisions and regiments been markedly improved, but even the combat effectiveness of the Jinan garrison has been rapidly improved, and the soldiers' fighting will and fighting skills are different from those in the past under the brutal training of Japanese officers, and they are no longer the recruits they were when they were first formed.

That's not all, the Japanese army adopted a high-level trick to expand the puppet army.

After Tada Jun implemented the Suzheng construction plan, the Japanese army recruited 500,000 migrant workers from Pingjin, northern Henan, southern Lunan, and Hebei in the name of building the Deshi Road and expanding the Pinghan Road. From them, young and middle-aged people were selected and forcibly incorporated into various puppet armies, and 140,000 migrant workers were arrested and sent to the northeast to work as laborers and repair fortifications for the Japanese army. In this way, the ranks of the puppet army in North China swelled again. For example, several puppet army units left in the Jinan area have expanded their structure, including the Li Wenli Department, which was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and has been supplemented by the civilian workers captured and deceived by the Japanese army, and is undergoing recruit training.

Li Qing immediately revised the battle plan and made a plan to annihilate the enemy in Luzhong with his head cut off, his belly cut off, and his tail cut off.

pinching the head is to give the Japanese army reinforcements to the Jinan East Road Group to face up to the head and eliminate its vanguard; The tail is broken, that is, it is to aim at the Japanese rearguard troops and baggage troops, pick soft persimmons and pinch them; Breaking the belly is to concentrate artillery fire on the little devils to have a hearty night dinner when the main force of the Japanese army is camping.

Tonight is a good time for our army in Luzhong to slaughter the Japanese army.
