Chapter 415, the cooperation of the Jiaodong Army 19.

After Gu Liangmin ordered to concentrate artillery fire on the position of the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade on the front line of Anjiazhuang, the old devil Morita Masaho was confused at first, thinking that the Jiaodong Group Army was going to launch a general attack from the north, so he hurriedly ordered the field artillery brigade to turn the muzzle to suppress the artillery fire of the Fourth Division, and ordered the four infantry brigades that were preparing to attack to the south to leave two brigades to counterattack the attack of the Jiaodong Army south of Anjiazhuang, and the remaining two brigades quickly reinforced the northern position to strictly prevent the Jiaodong Army from attacking.

Tossed and turned, and after a long time, when he didn't see the Jiaodong Group Army attacking, Morita Masahomi felt fooled. As soon as I contacted Lieutenant General Maeda of the 35th Division, I learned that the Jiaodong Group Army had started a blocking battle on the front line of the Dawen River, and after a short blockade, the blocking troops of the Jiaodong Group Army retreated.

Morita Masahomi immediately realized that the Jiaodong Army had discovered the intention of the 35th Division to sneak attack and began to retreat. Morita Masaho immediately sent reports everywhere, asking Lieutenant General Tani Toshio, commander of the 12th Army, to immediately urge the aviation to take off and intercept the retreating Jiaodong Army, and asked the 35th Division to speed up the march, catch up with the Jiaodong Army, cooperate with himself, and completely defeat the Jiaodong Army.

At this time, Gu Shoufu had already discovered that Jiang Qiang was about to launch an attack on Jinan, and knew that the situation in Jinan was critical.

This is also normal. Gu Shoufu ordered Guan Guizhi, commander of the 34th Division, to send a small force to investigate, and Guan Guizhi naturally resolutely carried it out. This Jinan is the base camp of the Japanese army in Shandong, and there are a lot of traitor spies. At this time, these traitors still actively cooperated with the Japanese army in reconnaissance. Although the Jiaodong Army has a strong ability to camouflage and concealment, and its anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, most of the reconnaissance detachments of little devils and traitors have never returned, but there are always fish that slip through the net. The main force of the Jiaodong Group Army was so huge that it was impossible for the Japanese army to go completely undetected under the all-round reconnaissance of the Japanese army.

There is another major factor in this, that is, for the sake of air defense, the Jiaodong Army made smoke on a large scale, and the pilots of the Japanese reconnaissance planes were basically able to deduce where the Jiaodong Army had arrived from the smoke area. This is the two sides of things, there is a good and a disadvantage.

Although Gu Shoufu is the sworn enemy of the Chinese people and is extremely murderous, he is indeed one of the most famous generals in the Japanese army. After comprehensively investigating the situation in all aspects, he had already determined that after eliminating the 108th Division and the 33rd Division, Jiang Qiang had already waved his main force to pounce on Jinan. Of course, whether it is the small reconnaissance team of the devils and traitors, or the aerial reconnaissance of the reconnaissance plane, it is not clear how large the Jiaodong Army is when it reaches the vicinity of Licheng in the east of Jinan, whether the vanguard has arrived, or all the main forces have arrived, and it is not clear when the Jiaodong Army will launch an attack on Jinan.

After all, Gu Shoufu had just served as the commander of the 12th Army, and the situation was not very familiar, although he knew that Jiang Qiang's main force was going to launch an attack on Jinan, but there was still a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that Jiang Qiang's main force had just finished a big war, and according to common sense, he had to rest for a day or two to reorganize his troops before he could fight again. Besides, the 400-mile journey from Gaomi to Jinan, even if Jiang Qiang forced the army desperately, it would take two to three days to arrive. They were going to launch an attack on Jinan, and it would be four days later.

In Gu Shoufu's mind, in four days, Jinan's city defense can be further strengthened, the 34th Division and the Jinan garrison can be further run-in, and the combat effectiveness can be enhanced, and the 14th Division and the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Kwantung Army mobilized by General Terauchi Shouichi can all arrive near Jinan. At that time, with the strong city defense and the elite divisions reinforced from the north and south lines, it was enough to gather Jiang Qiang's troops under the city of Jinan.

Based on this idea, Gu Shoufu made a detailed report to Terauchi Shouichi and the base camp on the situation he had detected and his own deployment, and asked the reinforcements to move quickly, rush to Jinan as soon as possible, and eliminate Jiang Qiang's main force in a battle.

After receiving the report of Major General Morita Masaho of the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade, Gu Shoufu immediately realized that the fighter plane that defeated the Jiaodong Army all the way appeared, and he had to seize the opportunity.

Gu Shoufu immediately sent a 100,000-strong telegram to Lieutenant General Kinoshita Toshita, commander of the North China Front Air Group, asking him to immediately dispatch a large-scale aircraft group to the central and southern part of Feicheng to intercept the retreating troops of the Jiaodong Army, to defeat them, and to assist the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade to completely destroy the enemy in front of him.

Now it was lively, after Gu Shoufu reported his deployment to the headquarters and base camp of the North China Front, these extremely depressed old devils who had been taught by Jiang Qiang were all crazy, and their eyes were all staring at the small fat city and the small Anjiazhuang in the Taixi area.

The chief of the general staff of the Japanese army, Prince Miyajihito and Lu Xiangsugi Motoichi, changed their image of being dejected by the capture of the 108th Division and the 33rd Division, Tama and Otaka Kamezo, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and sent a report to Kinoshita Toshi, Morita Masano, and Maeda Osa, ordering them to cooperate closely, resolutely attack, and be sure to destroy the Taixi troops of the Jiaodong Army and avenge the warriors of the Imperial Army.

Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace of Kanin said very bluntly in a telegram to Morita Masaho, promising that as long as the Taixi troops of the Jiaodong Army were eliminated, the base camp would be promoted to Morita Masaho to lieutenant general of the Japanese Army, and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade would be immediately expanded into a division. As for Osamu Maeda, Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace promised to transfer him back to the base camp to take charge of the procurement, development, and deployment of all artillery and artillery units of the Japanese Army. With regard to Kinoshita Toshi, Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace promised not to hold the North China Front Army Aviation Group accountable for its unfavorable operations and excessive losses.

Regardless of the outcome of the battle, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan immediately instructed his staff officers to draft a press release on the great victory in Shandong and prepare it for publication in tomorrow's major news agencies and newspapers. The press release also swore that the Japanese Army had seized the tail of Jiang Qiang of the Jiaodong Army and would annihilate him within a few days.

The attention of the highest level of the Japanese army made Kinoshita Toshi, Morita Masaho, Maeda Osamu and others boil. Kinoshita immediately ordered all the air units in North China to take off urgently, the fighters were responsible for protecting the airfield and the pseudo-bomber escort, the reconnaissance plane was to closely search and reconnoiter the entire territory of Shandong, and the bomber group immediately went to the Feicheng area to bomb the Jiaodong Group Army.

Morita Masatsu and Maeda Osamu never thought that they could get the promises of His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff, and these promises were all things that they dreamed of, so they immediately adjusted their deployment and began to pursue the retreating Fourth Division.

Of course, Morita Masatomi is not stupid, he has seen very clearly, the Jiaodong Army must retreat to the mountainous area to the north, and if it pursues directly to the north at this time, it will inevitably encounter the stubborn resistance of the Jiaodong Army, and the casualties will be very large. The losses of his independent mixed 13th Brigade were already large enough to withstand even greater losses. It is still to attack to the south and form a flanking attack with the 35th Division, which can not only chase the retreating troops of the Jiaodong Army to carry out a tail attack, but also echo with the 35th Division in the north and south, so as to avoid falling into the trap of Jiang Qiang.

As a result, Morita Masaho left the field artillery brigade and an infantry brigade and a baggage brigade to defend the front-line position of Anjiazhuang and shoot at the Jiaodong Army in the north, and he personally led four infantry brigades to launch a surprise attack to the south under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.

Jiang Qiang didn't know, and Gu Liangmin of the Fourth Division didn't know either, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy situation had changed so much. The first to be bitten by the devils was the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Division.

Guo Zheng, the commander of the Third Regiment, is a native of Xintai, Shandong, 23 years old this year, joined the Third Group Army at the age of 15 in July 1933, graduated from the Military Academy of the Jiaodong Group Army, and served as a battalion commander, regiment commander, and staff officer at a young age. When Jiang Qiang was recruiting Yuan to form the cadre frame of the four regiments, he was drawn out. When the 4th Division was formed, he served as the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Division.

After receiving the order to retreat, Guo Zheng ordered the troops to immediately lay mines and trickery mines on the position mountain and main road, and then each battalion took alternate cover and quickly evacuated. Finally, at half past six in the evening, Jiang Qiang waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

In an instant, 500 field artillery and mountain artillery of the 10 artillery regiments of the Jiaodong Group Army let out an earth-shattering roar, and the shells swept across the night sky that had just darkened, like a blooming fireflower, blooming beautiful and enchanting.

On the wide Japanese army position on the front line of Wangsherenzhuang, the temporary county seat of Licheng County, there was a continuous sound of shell explosions.

The little devils on the battlefield never dreamed that when their ugly lives were about to end, they could still see such a fireworks show specially held for them, one by one with their necks straightened, staring at frightened eyes, forgetting even their hidden figures, and stupidly watching the beautiful curves of the cannonballs sweeping through the sky.

A little devil seemed to be frightened crazy, and suddenly tore his clothes and ran wildly on the battlefield, shouting as he ran: "Mommy, Mommy, I want Mommy, I want to go home". It wasn't until a cannonball exploded around him that the cry of terror melted into the night with his shattered limbs.

The shelling lasted for a short time, and only three shells per gun were fired before the shelling stopped.

The next scene shocked all the people who were awakened by the sound of artillery: in the vast night, hundreds of car lights and countless flashlights and torches suddenly lit up, and dozens of tanks lined up, guiding the same lined up armored vehicles, cars and countless war horses to crush and trample on the Japanese position.

The earth was trembling, the little devil's heart was trembling, and even the little devils stationed on the distant mountain were frightened and panicked by this mighty power, and they picked up the phone one after another, and Moxie and Moxi kept shouting.

In the face of such a huge current of steel, all resistance seemed so pale, so futile, so powerless.

The little devils who were lucky enough to have escaped the shelling just now and were afraid of being crushed into a mess of flesh and mud: some panicked and started shooting with rifles and machine guns in their hands, some picked up explosive bags and put on grenades and pounced on the tank group that suddenly appeared, some simply raised their bayonets and pounced on the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, and some cunning little devils turned around and ran, trying to run back to Jinan City to seek temporary shelter.

It's a pity that in the artillery fire just now, the position of the little devils has been ravaged beyond recognition, and most of the devils have returned to the East to find Amaterasu to report, and the remaining little devils, whether they are fighting or fleeing, have become like demons and monsters under the light of the armored cluster, and they are extremely ugly.

The motors are roaring, the tanks are advancing, the armored vehicles are advancing, the cars are advancing. Even the artillery group, which was still roaring just now, began to advance. The rolling iron stream overflowed the position of the little devil and swept towards the direction of Jinan City, and all the sludge and muddy water, fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs were submerged and swallowed by this rolling torrent, and the white land was really clean.

In fact, before the artillery group roared, the Second Division had already made a move at Luokou, north of Jinan. The water originates from the world, and the white jade pot gushes out of the flat ground. This is a famous sentence in the poem "Baotu Spring" by Zhao Mengfu, a native of Yuanren, which talks about the origin of the spring city of Jinan.

Jinan was called Luoyi in ancient times, and it was named after the springs in the city that were water. Later, the state of Qi changed Luoyi to Lixia, to the Western Han Dynasty, because it is located in the south of Jishui, Jinan County was set up, and it was named Jinan. "Luo", the note of "Shuowen Jie Zi" says: "Qilu is also water." from the sound of water". Joyful because of the water, named Luoshui, it shows the ancients' love for the jade-like clean spring water of Jinan. The water flows into the water in the north, and it is called Luokou.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Jianli, commander of the Luxi Brigade of the Jiaodong Group Army and commander of the Second Division, held a telescope to observe the movements on both sides of the Yellow River in a dry reed swing on the north bank of the Yellow River, five miles away from Beiluokou.

The scouts of the Second Division had long been aware of the situation at the Luokou Ferry, and Liu Jianli was not at ease, so he took the chief of staff with him to make a final observation.

At this time, there was still silence on the ancient crossing of the Yellow River, with an occasional train passing on the railway bridge, and many ships on the ferry, most of which were quietly moored there. Only a few steamers flying the sun flag carried cars, wagons and all kinds of goods to and fro with passengers.

The situation was consistent with what the scouts had reported, and the little devils did not notice that the 15,000 athletes of the Second Division were hiding in the ditches, forks, forks, and reeds along the Yellow River, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time.

Liu Jianli began to show off his knowledge, "Teacher, do you know that the Yellow River in front of us turned out to be the Daqing River, which is the river of Guji Water. ”

Liu Jianli has been following Jiang Qiang and Chang Yuan for a long time, and has become fond of learning and elegant. Zhao Zhengbi is not like this, although he is a member of the Third Army, but he has nothing to learn except for fighting, but he has little time with Jiang Qiang, and he has not developed Jiang Qiang's kind of love for learning, love to study, and ask why in everything. Therefore, as soon as he heard Liu Jianjian's knowledge, Zhao Zhengbi asked: "Is there a lot of water?" Is it famous? ”

Since Liu Jianli is a showman, he will simply sell it to the end, anyway, he can't change the attack time now, and he can set up the dragon gate array.

Just listen to Liu Jianjian said, Jishui originated from Taiyi Pond on Wangwu Mountain in Jiyuan, Henan. The source water flows more than 70 miles to the east with the underground river, gushes out to the ground of Jidu and Longtan, and is named Jishui in the northwest of Wenxian County. After the second undercurrent underground, through the Yellow River without muddy, in Xingyang again miraculously surfaced, when the water flowed through Yuanyang, Nanji three times ambushed to Shandong Dingtao, and the North Ji will and form Juyeze. Jishui is hidden and revealed, and it is mysterious and unpredictable.

The ancients called rivers that have an independent source and can enter the sea as "desecration". The four profanities mentioned in "Erya": river, river, Huai, and Ji, are the four rivers that flowed into the sea alone in ancient times, and "Ji" refers to Jishui. In ancient times, the emperor sacrificed to the famous mountains and rivers, that is, the five mountains and the four desecrations. In the Tang Dynasty, Dahuai was the east, the river was the south, the river was the west, and the Daji was the north.

Legend has it that the emperor fought with Chiyou, and because Chiyou could spit fog for ten miles, he retreated to the Temple of Heaven, the main peak of Taiyi Pond in Wangwu Mountain. The Yellow Emperor fasted for three days, prayed to the Emperor of Heaven at the top of the mountain, Qionglin Terrace, and asked for help in defeating Chiyou. As a result, the Emperor of Heaven ordered the Queen Mother to descend to the Temple of Heaven, called the East China Sea Qingtongjun and the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and granted the emperor the strategy of breaking the Chi You, and the Yellow Emperor killed the Chi You Yu Ji according to the order. Since then, every year on August 15, the Yellow Emperor has set up an altar to worship the sky on the Temple of Heaven, so it is called the Temple of Heaven Mountain. In the future, the emperors of all dynasties also went to the Temple of Heaven every year to set up altars to worship the heavens. After the Ming and Qing dynasties moved the capital to Beijing, the emperor was afraid that it was a long way to worship the heavens, so he built the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.

The water has dried up and almost disappeared, why can it be ranked among the four desecrations? Tang Taizong Li Shimin thought about this problem, when the water was open and dried up, Li Shimin asked the minister Xu Jingzong: "The torrent giant valley in the world does not carry rituals, and the water is very fine and respects the four readings, why not?" Xu Jingzong replied: "Blasphemy is the only way to say it, not because the remaining water can go to the sea alone, and the undercurrent is repeatedly extinct, although the shape is subtle, it is unique and respectful." "Although Jishui is small, it can flow into the sea alone, and the tenacious spirit of Jishui that does not reach the sea vow is the reason why it has always been ranked in the fourth reading.

Of course, Xu Jingzong's answer is not comprehensive, the reason why Jishui has such a high status in traditional Chinese culture, and why it will always flow in the hearts of Chinese, in addition to flowing overseas, also has noble sentiments and gentle and elegant morality.

Gao Jie's sentiment is to say that Jishui is hidden and three appear, cross the Yellow River without muddy, and reach Qingyuan turbidity, and stick to its festival. Therefore, the ancients said that Jishui "is called a word from now on, and Gao Jie asks for whom; Only Qingji is the same for eternity".

The gentle and elegant character is to say that the water level is respected for four readings, but it is not shocking and gentle. This kind of character that moistens all things and is Pepsi is exactly the necessary grace of the world for gentlemen, and the disposition of not seeking to be heard.

Noble sentiment and gentle and elegant character are the realm pursued by ancient Chinese literati all their lives. It is precisely because of this that a term "Qingliu" was born, and a political group "Qingliu" in ancient political life was formed to evaluate the gains and losses of the government. The Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty is a microcosm of Qingliu.

Zhao Zhengbi's eyes shook when he listened. Liu Jianli continued to show off: Liu He wrote in "The Travels of the Old Remnant": "Out of the west gate of Jinan Mansion, eighteen miles north, there is a town and city, called Yukou. When the Yellow River was not merged with the Qing River, all the seventy-two springs in the city entered the river from this place, which was a very prosperous place. Since the merger of the Yellow River, although there are still cargo ships coming and going, it is only one-tenth of one-two, which is far from it. ”

After Zhao Zhengbi went to work in the Jiaodong Army, he always felt that the Jiaodong Army was a nest of talents, and when he heard that Liu Jianjian had established a chapter, history and geography came as soon as he opened his mouth, he secretly swore in his heart that he must study more, otherwise he would be laughed at by his comrades.

Liu Jianli was sideways, and then cut to the point: "Division commander, there is no highway bridge on the Yellow River, and pedestrians and vehicles rely on ferries. In the past, the river was a highway, which led directly to Jinan, and there was no barrier. Infantry and cavalry are easy to handle, you look at the railway bridge, there are Japanese troops stationed at both ends, and there are pillbox fortifications. We must first capture the railway bridge, hold it, and let the troops continue to cross the river and go straight to Jinan. ”

Zhao Zhengbi nodded: "It's still the old way, you sit in command, and I will lead the troops to attack." Dealing with a pillbox is simple, take it out with an anti-aircraft gun or a bazooka. ”

Liu Jianli added: "The blockhouse fortifications at the railway bridgehead on the north bank are close to each other, so bombard it with a bazooka. The distance on the south bank was long, and it was fired with anti-aircraft guns. Act fast to prevent the little devils from blowing up the bridge. ”

Zhao Zhengbi laughed: "Don't worry, I like to lead the troops to attack the key points and seize the passes, with such good equipment and such good troops, it is just a piece of cake to seize the iron bridge and ferry, and break through Jinan." ”

The battle of the 2nd Division to capture Luokou was sudden and swift. The little devil stationed at the Yellow River Iron Bridge in Luokou has a very comfortable life. They are railway garrison troops, and they don't have to go to the front line to sell their lives, and on weekdays, they are simple tasks such as patrolling and standing guard. When it's your turn to take a vacation, you can take the train to Jinan to play, enjoy the scenery of Jinan City, accept comfort, or go to the brothel of Bagua Lou to have fun. If they are interested, the little devils will go to the north and south of Luokou Town, go down to the restaurant to taste the famous sweet and sour carp in Luokou, and slap the boss a few times and extort some money on the way. If you're lucky, you can also grab a few flower girls to go back to the stronghold for a bit of humiliation.

The devils stationed in Luokou Town live more nourishingly than the devils guarding the railway bridge. Luokou is located at the crossing of the Yellow River, the location of the ground is important, the north is directly connected to Pingjin, the south of the economic road to Quancheng, is the key to connect Shandong, East China and the North China Plain, whether you are a high-ranking official or a businessman, up to the emperor Lao'er, down to the peddler pawn, all have to pass through this. Although this is the era of burning, killing and looting by the Japanese invaders, all industries are withering, but after all, this is the largest ferry port in North China, even if you flee, you have to pass from here, right? Therefore, the little devils stationed at the Luokou ferry, from officers to soldiers, everyone had oily lips, drunken faces, bulging waists, and bloody bayonets.

After the headquarters of the 12th Army ordered all units to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the enemy in front of them last night, the little devils stationed in Luokou did send several search and reconnaissance units. However, this is the hinterland of the Japanese army's rule, there are 36 divisions of the Japanese army in Luxi, there are 32 divisions of the Japanese army on the border of Hebei and Lu, there are not only railway garrisons on the Jinpu Road, but also Japanese troops stationed in Dexian and Cangxian counties, they are facing their own strongholds, there is no enemy in person, the search and reconnaissance will become a scourge of the surrounding villages to rob money and grain and ask for women, naturally it is impossible to imagine that the elite Second Brigade is hidden in the cliffs, ditches and dry reeds by the Yellow River.

This can't be blamed on the carelessness of the little devils, most of the locals in these places usually don't go, let alone the Japanese troops who are stationed in Luokou and only know how to plunder money and rape women. How could Gu Shoufu, who gave orders in Jinan City, know that the Luokou defenders would carry out his orders like this.

When it was just dark, the restaurants in Beiluokou Town were still open as usual, and the little devils stationed at the railway bridge and Luokou ferry had just had dinner. At this time, the Jiaodong Army moved.

It was the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Jiaodong Army that attacked the railway bridge, which was the main force of the battle. Captured the railway bridge, the second brigade of the Guanjiao attacked the north gate of Jinan, Liu Jianli naturally wanted to sacrifice the sword, and sent the fourth regiment with the same name as the first regiment to take the railway bridge in one fell swoop and open the passage to Jinan in the south.

The first-class main forces such as the 1st Regiment, the 4th Regiment, and the 7th Regiment are different from other troops, and if the tactical actions are made into movies, they will definitely surprise the directors of later generations who don't know what the war is all about, because there are no spectacular scenes like in the movie, they all work quietly.

The fighters then formed a battle formation in twilight and terrain cover, and quickly engaged the enemy movement. When the sentry standing guard by the little devil found out that something was wrong, the first battalion and one company of the fourth regiment had already arrived in front of him.

Take the most elite troops to deal with the most rubbish railway garrison in the Japanese army, and the outcome is clear to everyone, tom, a few shells separately drilled into the little devil's bunker, and directly beat the little devil's bunker into ruins. The soldiers quickly rushed forward, and the Bayi automatic rifles, assault rifles, and 38 big covers in their hands all opened fire, and the devils of a squad stationed at the bridgehead stronghold on the south side of the railway bridge had no time to react and were eliminated.

The explosion of the fire bombs and the sound of gunfire alarmed the devil's stronghold on the north side of the railway bridge, and the searchlight soon shone through, and the little devil who was leisurely and complacent just now became chaotic, and the whistle, the shouting of the officers, the running footsteps of the soldiers, and the pulling of the bolts of the guns were all in one place. Soon the little devil's heavy machine gun went off.

This is the difference between the elite of a hundred battles and the garbage troops. Do you think, the iron bridge of the Luokou Yellow River Highway is 1255.2 meters long, and what can the little devil's light and heavy machine guns hit on a dark night? Isn't this exposing the firing point himself and instructing the Eighth Route Army to bombardment targets? Only the railway garrison that has never been on the battlefield will do this, and if it is changed to a field unit, it will definitely be silent and wait for the Jiaodong Army to approach before firing. Now that the devil is doing this, when he sees the eyes of the soldiers of the second division and the fourth regiment of the elite of a hundred battles, he immediately knows that he has encountered a group of recruits.

The devils stationed in Nanluokou are different, although they are the Jinan garrison, and the railway garrison belongs to the same garbage troops, but they have not been attacked for the time being, they have sufficient time to react, under the command of the officers, while reporting to the superiors that the Jiaodong Army sneak attack on the railway bridge, while entering the position, and also sent a squadron of troops to run to reinforce the garrison north of the railway bridge.

Liu Jianjian, who was on the north bank of the Yellow River, saw that the Japanese fire point south of the railway bridge was exposed, and immediately ordered the artillery regiment to open fire to cover the fourth regiment to seize the railway bridge.

The artillery of the Jiaodong Army opened fire, and the shells swept over the Yellow River and landed on the devil's position on the south side of the railway bridge.

Zhao Zhengbi of the Second Division personally commanded the Fourth Regiment to seize the bridge, and Liu Jianli gave him a clear explanation, using anti-aircraft guns to deal with the turrets and pillboxes south of the Little Devil Bridge. Therefore, he took two anti-aircraft guns with the 4th regiment of the sect.
