Nakano's mind was spinning, and he immediately figured out a few key points: First, the reason why the Jiaodong Group Army launched on the whole line 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 Jiang Qiang personally led the main force of the Jiaodong Group Army to fight with Qin Siyu, who was far away in Tianjin.

Moreover, his main force did not suffer major losses when the heavy army group was swept away, and maintained a strong combat power. Second, the reason why Commander Odaka Kamizo was attacked and captured at the Twenty Lipu Airport was not that there were traitors in the headquarters of the 12th Army and the headquarters of the 108th Division, nor was it how powerful the intelligence system of the Jiaodong Group Army was, but that there was a problem with the headquarters of the 108th Division in Weicheng. Only when the Jiaodong Group Army occupied the headquarters of the 108th Division 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 Jiaodong Group Army captured the headquarters of the 108th Division could it explain why Lieutenant General Xiong Mi Xiayuan 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 Jiang Qiang who used the seized radio station 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 Jiang Qiang. 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 Jiaodong Group Army, their strength itself 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, Naozo Nakano 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 Jiaodong Group 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 a shuttle of bullets from Song Dahu completely sent this old devil whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people back to the East. Song Dahu didn't know Naozo Nakano, 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, Song Dahu ordered to stop shooting, got in through the window, pulled Nakano Naozo's two legs, pulled him out, put him on the ground, and waited for the chiefs to come and check it.

The battle to eliminate Naozan Naozo ended quickly, Chang Yuan roughly calculated, and felt that the number of the little devil three columns of the army did not match the number of troops that Naozo Naozo 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 Cannon, 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, so as to reduce the resistance when capturing Zhoucun and Zhangdian.

After sending a telegram to Lei Artillery, Chang Yuan ordered the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then sent a report to Jiang Qiang to report that the main force of the 25th Brigade had been annihilated, and that the commander of the 25th Brigade and Regiment, Major General Naozo Nakano, the commander of the 117th Wing, and the commander of the 132nd Wing, Ebi Meiei, had been killed. 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 Japanese garrison units stationed in Zhangqiu, Zhoucun, and Zhangdian on Jiaoji Road did not move with the 25th Brigade.

At the end of the telegram, Chang Yuan 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.

Jiang Qiang sent a telegram back instructing Chang Yuan that if the Japanese 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, Chang Yuan was ordered to immediately replenish the captured weapons and ammunition after arriving at the battlefield, and if the captured tanks and artillery could be used, the third brigade would be immediately equipped to strengthen the attack 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 Lunan and Lubei respectively, and went to both sides of Zhangqiu to hide and wait, preparing to annihilate the Japanese troops who might come to reinforce Zhoucun and Zhangdian.

After reading Jiang Qiang's telegram, Chang Yuan knew that Jiang Qiang 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 Chang Yuan commanded the Third 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 emphasis is still on covert movement, it is clear that the importance of speed of movement has exceeded concealment. By the time Peng Hu, the commander of the 12th Regiment of the 4th Brigade, and Shi Tugen, the chief of staff, led the 12th Regiment, the brigade engineer battalion, and the guard battalion to Maling Station, Wang Shuyou, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the 4th Brigade, and the Jiaodong Army, Qianli, had already arrived, and they also used sabers to clean up the station's devil stationmaster and a garrison team along the way.

The cavalry battalion of the 4th Brigade was a prestigious unit, 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 Japanese invasion, the mines that had been mined since the Spring and Autumn Period were occupied by the Japanese army, and predatory mining was carried out, and iron ore was transported to Japan through Qingdao. Moreover, the iron ore associated with copper ore here is of high grade, and after the little devil transports the ore back to Japan, 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 Jiang Qiang made it very clear that after occupying Jinling, it was necessary to transport all the iron ore from the station and mine back to the Zhaoyuan Mountains to be used for iron and copper smelting and to provide raw materials for the arsenal. Moreover, for the classification and treatment of the Japanese personnel in the mine, the technicians must try to capture them and carry out patient persuasion and education, so as to enable them to join the Jiaodong Army and maintain the normal production of the mine.

Of course, at this time, we can't take care of occupying the mines, and it is important to destroy the Japanese guard brigade first. Peng Hu and Shi Tugen were both company commanders and chief of staff appointed during the reorganization of Qixia County, and they have grown into regiment commanders and chief of staff of the Jiaodong Army since they came all the way in the Anti-Japanese War.

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 Commander Jiang could know so much when he was not very old, and he even knew that there was iron ore at 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, Commander Jiang is full of knowledge, the iron ore here is not only now, and small Japan is in urgent need of steel to fight the war, after a few comparisons, Commander Jiang can know that there must be iron ore on the station here without special reconnaissance. 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 what the commander said about learning cadres. If nothing else, if the commander let himself manage the mine, then he would have to be blind.

No one could have imagined that a Jiaodong army commander who was born in rural Shandong and was illiterate since childhood could realize that wisdom equals knowledge and analysis at the small Maling Station. This is Jiang Qiang's brilliance, and through study, he has turned almost illiterate cadres and soldiers into knowledge-based and learning-oriented personnel who have thoughts, culture, and analytical and judgment abilities, so that the entire Jiaodong Group Army will become a knowledge-based and learning-oriented army. Such an army is invincible!

The little devil may be coming soon, Peng Hu has no 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 bomb the devil army, and the cavalry battalion continued to disguise the Japanese 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 guard battalion were ordered to quickly deploy and prepare to ambush the little devil rear guard brigade.

After the troops were deployed, Peng Hu vaguely heard a burst of explosions coming from the east of Linzi not long apart, he knew that it must be the main forces of the third and fourth brigades that had launched an attack successively, and couldn't help but look at his watch and said to Shi Tugen, the chief of staff: "How can the little devil be so slow, waiting makes people anxious." ”

Shi Tugen was actually very anxious, but he had a good patience, and when he heard Peng Hu say this, he said with a smile: "Maybe the little devil's neck hasn't been washed yet, for fear of staining our knife, he is busy queuing up on the train to wash his neck!" ”

Peng Hu listened to the humor of the chief of staff, and 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? Our Jiaodong Army has won many battles, captured a lot, is well-equipped, and has strong men and horses, and it will often take the little devil brigade and division to open the knife, and it is a knife that sees blood and is 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 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 Jiaodong 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 Jiaodong Army opened fire, and the infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine guns of the 12th Regiment Fire Support Battalion and each battalion and company were all aimed at the little devil lying on the ground. The shells were exploding, the machine guns were strafing, and these devils, who were still arrogant and sat on the train to exchange their rape, robbery, and murder experiences in China, 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, and the Jiaodong army beat this one, the captain of the devil brigade also forgot the pain, crawled on the ground, and kept shouting at the ghost soldiers who had fainted to wake up quickly, and shoot at the Jiaodong army with the overturned military column as a cover.

Most of the little devils were injured in the rollover, but the severity varied. As soon as the Jiaodong Army concentrated on firepower, not to mention the dead, not to mention the seriously injured, they were unable to move, and they only had one ending: they were killed. Those lightly injured devils were awake at this time, grabbed the guns with guns, and drilled into the carriage without grabbing them, trying to use the cover of the train to avoid the shells and bullets of the Jiaodong Army.

At this time, it was obviously too late to organize resistance. The rifle shooters of the Jiaodong Army began to shoot, and they unhurriedly chased the little devils who tried to resist and tried to find cover, one by one, and started a devil-killing competition. The end of the Devil Guard Brigade has arrived.

The Jiaoji Road Campaign was carried out in the tactics of dividing, encircling, and annihilating one by one, and there was no particularly large-scale battle like the elimination of the 20th Division, the 5th Division, and the 10th Division.

By this time in the second phase of the campaign, the Japanese 1st Division had been basically annihilated, and only the infantry brigade of the 25th Brigade remained in Zhoucun and Zhangdian. But it doesn't matter, this infantry brigade is also a dish in the bowl of the road army sooner or later.

However, because it was a cake-cutting style of fighting, the Japanese troops were cut off one by one like a cake cut by the road army, and all units felt that the fight was very unpleasant. Like the battle to eliminate the 14th Brigade near the Twenty Lipu Airport, there were only four infantry brigades and one field artillery brigade in total, and they were also saturated by the large-scale artillery group commanded by Li Yannian. The same is true for the 3rd and 4th Brigades to eliminate the 25th Brigade Regiment and the military trains transported by rail, the train is moving, and it was suddenly blown up, and the little devils are equivalent to a group of wounded people who were injured in a traffic accident. Therefore, the brigade commanders of Shunzi, Han Junsheng, Liu Qingshan, and Huang Hong are now staring at the 33rd Division with vicious eyes; Chang Yuan and Lei Cannon, like good men and women who believe in the Buddha, sincerely hope that the Japanese army can discover the emptiness of Zhoucun and Zhangdian troops as soon as possible, and it is easy to be attacked by the road army, so they quickly send one division, no, it is better to send two divisions to reinforcements, so that everyone can have a chance to show good tactical qualities.

As soon as he saw that the devil had been eliminated, and his Seventh Brigade had run so many roads in vain, and in the end he hadn't caught up with the battle, Liu Qingshan was furious, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, and he looked back at the soldiers who had been exhausted from the continuous battle march all night, and couldn't help it anymore, and scolded the little devil for not being interesting enough, how could he have such a small number of troops and such a lack of fighting, it was purely to make fun of Lao Tzu

The more he scolded, the more excited he became, from Emperor Hirohito to Terauchi Shouichi and Shunroku Hatata, all the way to the head of the first division, Kumaya Shimoto. After scolding the little devil, Liu Qingshan began to complain about Jiang Qiang, saying that the commander looked down on the Seventh Brigade, and the task given to the Seventh Brigade was purely chicken ribs, no, it was not as good as chicken ribs, and the chicken ribs were a little chewy for such an important battle, just let the Seventh Brigade cooperate with the Third Brigade to fight, obviously thinking that the Seventh Brigade was injured and useless, this is absolutely not in line with the facts, is the Seventh Brigade still a first-class main brigade that can fight well, invincible, invincible, the division commander should not let the Seventh Brigade go around so far and run so many unjust roads, Instead, the Seventh Brigade should be ordered to attack Jinan directly, and the headquarters of the 12th Army of the little devils should be ended, so that the soldiers can show the evil spirit of being chased and beaten by the devils all the way.

Liu Yi, chief of staff of the Seventh Brigade, knew that Liu Qingshan had not caught the battle, and he was anxious and annoyed, but seeing that the more he talked, the more he didn't like it, even Jiang Qiang complained, and hurriedly reminded him that he should pay attention to the impact and do more self-criticism, and the other troops all arrived at the battlefield on time, why couldn't our Seventh Brigade arrive on time? If the Third Brigade couldn't get to the battlefield on time, wouldn't the little devil rush to the Twenty Lipu Airport? When the little devil finds out that the 14th Brigade has been annihilated, it may rely on a station to hold on to the spot. If thousands of devils build positions and hold on to the spot, our army will be able to destroy them in the end, and I am afraid that at least a few thousand people will have to be sacrificed.

Liu Qingshan also said that it was smooth, and accidentally complained about Kaijiang Qiang. As soon as I heard Liu Yi say this, I knew that I forgot everything I was anxious about, obviously I didn't rush to the battlefield on time, so I didn't get criticized, and I dared to complain about Jiang Qiang, looking for training

Liu Qingshan had nowhere to come out of the poisonous gas, and he raised his foot and kicked at the corpse of a devil. After Chang Yuan received the report that the Seventh Brigade had arrived, he rushed to meet him. Since the 107th Division was wiped out and returned to Jiaodong, it has been a few months since it was found, and the reunion on the battlefield is naturally very cordial. After saluting Chen Yannian and Shunzi, the grassland walked directly to Liu Qingshan: Old Liu, how is it, it is very hard to fight in Luzhong, right?

If he was to be the artillery brigade commander Tao Zhuanghai, he would inevitably open his mouth to check what parts were missing, and after a few jokes, Liu Qingshan's anger would disappear. Chang Yuan is honest and elegant, delicate, does not speak foul language, and opens his mouth to be a sincere greeting.

Liu Qingshan was just a moment of annoyance, and he was a little out of shape. He is a subordinate of General Tang Juwu, and in 1929 he and General Tang Juwu formed a unit together, Jiang Qiang's first-class brave and resourceful generals, plus Chang Yuan is a life-and-death comrade-in-arms who has come from the northeast all the way, and the joy of reunion wiped away the anger just now, and said honestly: The fight is very hard, there are planes above the head, and there are chasing soldiers behind the buttocks, and they are fighting every day, and the casualties are very large. Fortunately, the troops are well trained, have strong cohesion, dare to fight, and can be regarded as jumping out of the encirclement of devils in time. However, when the siege was broken, all the artillery and vehicles were fortified, and the number of war horses was reduced a lot. Otherwise, hum, with it, a division would dare to chase the ass and drive it here from Luzhong?

The Ludong group was doing the work of camouflaging the main force and dragging down the Japanese heavy army group, and the casualties were certain. But from the mouth of Liu Qingshan, whose will was harder than steel, Chang Yuan was also shocked. Look at the military uniforms of Shunzi, Chen Yannian, Liu Qingshan, and Liu Yi, although they are cleanly washed, they are already patches and patches.

Chang Yuan didn't say anything else, and immediately ordered the logistics office of the Third Brigade to take out all the military uniforms and change the equipment of the Seventh Brigade; ordered all units to hand over all the captured ammunition to the Seventh Brigade, and the cavalry battalion and baggage battalion to deploy spare war horses and rubber-bottomed carts to the Seventh Brigade; The 12 field guns on the captured Japanese army columns, together with shells, were all handed over to the 7th Brigade.

After giving the order, Chang Yuan said to Chen Dayong: Lao Liu, these are still too few, I will report to the commander immediately, and ask the logistics command to urgently replenish the Seventh Brigade. The logistics of the 1st Division are all in Weicheng, and there is no loss at all, what do you lack. In addition, we sent a telegram to the commander, suggesting that the commander order the 1st Division, the 4th Division, the Cavalry Brigade, the Artillery Brigade, and the Air Defense Brigade to transfer backbone troops to supplement the 7th Brigade. You can rest assured, the heroic Seventh Brigade is still the first-class main brigade of our Jiaodong Group Army.

Liu Qingshan was moved to tears, and hurriedly told Chang Yuan that what the Seventh Brigade lacked was heavy weapons, ammunition and medicine, war horses, and carts, and that the soldiers had been replenished from the Qixia County Garrison Brigade of the Qinghe Garrison Brigade. As long as there is artillery, the ready-made artillery regiment of the 7th Brigade can be put into battle immediately. There is no need for anything else, the Seventh Brigade has always handed over the spoils of war, and it cannot always reach out to its commander.
