Of course, Gu Shoufu and Guan Guizhi were both high-ranking generals of the Japanese army, and they couldn't be so idiotic, they knew that these Jiaodong Army infantry and cavalry scattered around Jinan City were not simply dodging the Japanese artillery fire, but following the offensive route and preparing to encircle Jinan.

Guan Guizhi cautiously suggested to Gu Shoufu: "Your Excellency Commander, is it not possible to send troops to escort Your Excellency the Commander to the airport while the Jiaodong Army has not yet been encircled, which is still under the control of the Imperial Army, and Your Excellency the Commander can leave Jinan by plane." As long as you notify Beiping Airport to do a good job of navigation, landing safely should be no problem. ”

Gu Shoufu knew that Guan Guizhi was afraid that if the Eighth Route Army broke through Jinan, his goal of staying here would be too big, and after falling into the hands of the Jiaodong Army, the Great Japanese Empire would be humiliated again.

Gu Shoufu didn't want to leave at this time, he wanted to gamble that Jiang Qiang would not bombard Jinan City on a large scale. You know, this is an ancient city. , Jinan, Qingdao, Weicheng and other combat situations, he paid great attention to the protection of ancient buildings and dwellings, at most he would fire at the city wall and blow it down.

Gu Shoufu was not afraid of the Jiaodong Army blowing up the city wall, and he also looked forward to the Jiaodong Army pouring into the gap after the city wall was blown up, so that he could concentrate artillery fire and troops to counterattack and eliminate the troops of the Jiaodong Army that attacked the gap.

Even if the Jiaodong Army enters the outer city, it doesn't matter, you can organize troops to fight with the Jiaodong Army in the streets. As soon as it entered the state of street fighting, Jiang Qiang's artillery group lost its effect, and having artillery was equal to no artillery. As long as there is no large-scale artillery group, Jiang Qiang's main force will not have the slightest advantage over the Jiaodong Army, which fought against the 34th Division and the 13th Brigade in Taixi this afternoon. Tani believed that with the loyalty and training of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Japanese army would definitely be able to gain the upper hand in the street fighting.

Taking a step back, the Jiaodong army captured the outer city, as well as the inner city and the commercial port, the inner city wall is much stronger than the outer city, and the commercial port has many buildings made of reinforced concrete, which are all strongholds that the imperial army can rely on, no matter how powerful Jiang Qiang is, he can't destroy those Western buildings!

Based on these considerations, Gu Shoufu firmly believed that he would be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived, at least until dawn, and let the air force force blow Jiang Qiang's siege troops to pieces. Therefore, after listening to Guan Guizhi's words, Gu Shoufu felt insulted and wanted to give Guan Guizhi a backhand slap and teach this coward a lesson. But after thinking about it, Guan Guizhi is also for his good, and now it is the time to employ people, so Guan Guizhi's self-esteem cannot be hurt.

Gu Shoufu put on a confident look, smiled and said to Guan Guizhi: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I firmly believe that we can hold Jinan. I won't leave, I'm going to wait here for the 1st, 2nd, and 14th Divisions to arrive, annihilate Jiang Qiang's troops under the city of Jinan, and get rid of a big tumor for the Japanese Empire! I believe you can hold Jinan. ”

These high-ranking Japanese generals were brainwashed by fascism, and their heads were like being kicked by a donkey. After Guan Guizhi saw the prestige of the Jiaodong Army artillery group shelling the Japanese positions on the front line of Wangshe Renzhuang, he already knew in his heart that this Jinan City could not be defended, and there were not many troops. He even had the idea of withdrawing from Jinan City immediately, but when Gu Shoufu said this, his heart was suddenly moved, and he "snapped" and stood upright: "Please rest assured, commander, the 35th Division will definitely be able to hold Jinan!" ”

Gu Shoufu said yo Xi, and instructed Guan Guizhi to pay attention to strengthening the defense of the east of the city, which should be the main direction of attack of the Jiaodong army, if the Jiaodong army opened the gap with artillery, it was necessary to organize troops to concentrate firepower to eliminate the Jiaodong army pouring in from the gap.

Gu Shoufu looked at the eastern part of Jinan City again, his eyes were like wolves, shining with penetrating light: "It's really not good, just arrest the people of Jinan City, escort them to the gap in the city wall, block the bullets for the imperial army, and see if the Jiaodong army dares to fire." Guan Guizhi listened to Gu Shoufu's order, and applauded in his heart, and immediately arranged troops to arrest the people.

Gu Shoufu waved his hand: "It's not in a hurry now, it's not too late to catch it at the last moment." There are too many Chinese in Jinan City, and it is easy for them to confront the imperial army by large-scale arrest, and our soldiers are too few. You command the defense of the city, and I will go back to the headquarters and let the gendarmes and secret services quietly arrest people. ”

After speaking, Gu Shoufu prepared to go down to the castle tower and go back to the headquarters. At this time, the artillery group of the Jiaodong Army besieging the city opened fire.

As soon as the artillery position was established, Tao Zhuangming couldn't help it, folded his hands, lowered his head, and muttered in his mouth, "Little devil, it's not that I'm ruthless, it's that you shouldn't have been born in Japan, let alone come to China to spread wild." I have come to collect you for heaven. Die early and give birth early, and remember not to be a Japanese in the next life". Wang Shanzhu, the chief of staff on the side who listened, looked impatient and said that he was insane. Tao Zhuangming shouted two more sentences "Commander, I love you", turned around and jumped up, holding PHS in one hand and pointing to Jinan City with the other, and shouted loudly, "Fire!" Fire! Fire! ”

With Tao Zhuangming's order, the artillery group of the Jiaodong Army began a test firing, and then quickly adjusted the angle, corrected the data, and began a large-scale artillery bombardment under the order of the first-level artillery commander.

At this time, Gu Shoufu and Guan Guizhi, who were about to go down to the city tower, were blessed with eyes, and in a short period of time, they watched the fireworks set off by the Jiaodong Army artillery group twice.

Of course, the fireworks set off by the artillery group of the Jiaodong Army are layered, and those that cross the night sky in an arc are the shells of field artillery and mountain artillery, and their targets are the artillery positions of the little devils. Flying low across the night sky in an arc were shells and explosives from infantry guns, mortars, and thunder cannons, which were aimed at the devil's fire points and the soldiers defending the city on the city walls. Flying straight out were shells fired from anti-aircraft guns, high-level dual-purpose guns, and tank guns, which were aimed at the city walls, Yonggu Gate, and Yongjing Gate.

The shelling did not last long, first the Japanese artillery positions were dumbfounded, and the devil artillerymen looked at the shells that fell like hailstones, stunned, frightened, and their minds were incredible: "How can you use artillery fire so intensively?" Isn't this a waste of precious shells? Which artillery school has taught such tactics in its curriculum? This Jiaodong Army is too much to look up to the 35th Wing of Field Artillery! ”

The devil artillery thought about it, and the shrewd ones had already begun to flee for their lives, because the shells of the Jiaodong Army not only blew up their cannons into scrap parts, but also blew up their comrades around them into pieces of flesh and bones. They were artillerymen, very experienced, and knew that the next step would be the detonation of shells from their positions. If they don't run, then Apayasu won't even know them.

It's a pity that this part of the artillery that woke up earlier couldn't run away, the shells exploded, and the shrapnel flying all over the sky was like a rope in the hands of black and white impermanence, put on the necks of the devil artillerymen, pulling and pulling, and pulling them all the way to hell. There are judges waiting to judge them for their sins in the world, and there are imps waiting to roast them on the fire and grind them on stones, and who makes their hands stained with the blood of the good Chinese people?

Then the gates of Yonggu Gate and Yongjing Gate were penetrated. No, it's not a breakdown, it's a hole. Because there are two gates in Jinan, it is obviously not enough to penetrate only one. Only by penetrating can the gates be opened.

Immediately followed by the little devil fire points on the eastern, northeastern, and southeastern city walls of the outer city were dumbfounded. These little devils, using the ring road on the city wall, set up infantry guns, grenadiers, and rapid-fire artillery positions, and they have never stopped, firing non-stop. Light and heavy machine gunners and rifle shooters climbed into the battlements and arrow towers on the city wall, ready to open fire when the Eighth Route Army launched an attack and destroy the infantry of the Eighth Route Army besieging the city. Now they don't have to be busy anymore, the explosive package fired by the Jiaodong Army's flying thunder cannon fell on their heads, blowing them up so that their noses and mouths were bleeding, and they lay motionless on the ground like bears. These people were lucky, but unfortunately the soldiers who were hit by mortars and infantry shrapnel had their heads cut off, some had their arms and legs amputated, and some had shrapnel stuck in their chests and backs, and the blood of sin flowed from them, turning the ring road on the city wall into a river of blood.

Then the city wall between Yonggu Gate and Yongjing Gate was beaten with open teeth, and there was a gap. The wall of the outer city, which was originally built of earth, was later reinforced with stones, and was attacked by the anti-aircraft guns, high-level dual-purpose guns, and tank guns of the Eighth Route Army.

When the field artillery and mountain artillery of the artillery group completed the covering shelling of the devil's artillery position and turned to the city wall, it was only a small five-round salvo, and the city wall between Yonggu Gate and Yongjing Gate collapsed in large sections and became ruins.

Those devils hiding in the dark fort at the base of the city wall were still waiting for the Jiaodong army to rush in and make a surprise attack, using dark fire points to hit the siege infantry. Well, their dreams were shattered, and the collapsed walls buried them completely, including their ugly bodies and sins.

Chen Zhengnian jumped up: "Blow the trumpet, the whole division will attack itself!" ”

The four regiments of the First Division and the trumpeters of the divisional troops had already lined up in two rows and stood behind Chen Zhengnian. As soon as he heard the order of the division commander, he immediately crossed his waist with his left hand and held the trumpet in his right hand, and blew the trumpet in the direction of Jinan City.

The loud sound of the charge aroused the evacuated and hidden troops, and the tanks and armored vehicles of a regiment all turned on their headlights, and one after another drove onto the bridges on the outer trenches outside the Yonggu Gate and Yongjing Gate, and drove towards the city of Jinan.

The soldiers of the 1st Regiment in the front, the 2nd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, the New 1st Regiment, the 1st Division Cavalry Battalion, the Guard Battalion, the Heavy Machine Gun Battalion, the Engineer Battalion, and the Guard Battalion, carrying earthen tanks made of square tables, crossed the dry and dirty outer trenches, followed behind the tanks and armored vehicles, and poured into the outer city of Jinan.

Seeing that the first division of the Jiaodong Army, the most elite in China, entered the outer city of Jinan, Tao Zhuangming immediately ordered the artillery group to extend the artillery bombardment, and he wanted to destroy the inner city of Jinan in one fell swoop.

The city wall collapsed, the field of vision was broadened, and the black inner city wall of Jinan was presented in front of the artillery observers.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the shelling, Tao Zhuangming ordered all the cars left outside the city by the 1st Brigade to turn on their headlights to illuminate the battlefield. Inside the city, there are the lights of the tanks and armored vehicles of the 1st Brigade of Jiao 1 Brigade entering the city, and outside the city are the lights of the cars of the 1st Brigade, and in the middle there is the light of the shells of the devil artillery positions exploding, and the battlefield is bright. If the artillery group is not accurate, Tao Zhuangming can take a piece of tofu and kill him.

As the command to report the parameters sounded, the Jiaodong Army artillery group began to bombard the Qichuan Gate, the east gate of the inner city of Jinan, the southeast gate and the Xunli Gate. Groups, groups, and strings of cannonballs swept through the sky and rushed towards the inner city wall of Jinan. Of course, this can only be a field artillery and mountain artillery shelling, and other artillery types cannot be carried out, so they can only be busy shifting positions.

The arrogant Gu Shoufu stared at a pair of frightened eyes on the east gate of the inner city of Jinan, and watched the magnificent table of the Jiaodong Army artillery group. Gu Shoufu couldn't have imagined that the Jiaodong Army used this method to break the city, his face was full of incredulity, and people became stupid and stupid.

Guan Guizhi also looked stupid. However, he was not as arrogant as Gu Shoufu, who had been the commander of the Sixth Division, and when he saw that the Eighth Route Army had entered the city in a big way, with so many tanks and armored vehicles, Guan Guizhi was sure in his heart that Jinan was finished, and all the deployments had turned into paper paste under the powerful firepower of the Jiaodong Army. Break with a single stab. At this time, he already understood that it was too late to say anything, and even retreating had become a dream, and the fate of Odaka Kamizo, Shimoto Kumaya, Gansu Jutaro and others was waiting for him!

Guan Guizhi wants to pull Gu Shoufu to leave the castle tower as soon as possible, the target of the castle tower is too big, maybe the artillery of the Jiaodong Army is resting the correct parameters, and it will shell the castle tower soon. This stretched out his hand to pull, and Guan Guizhi found that there was a puddle of wet water under the feet of Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu. The dignified Imperial Japanese Army Lieutenant General, Commander of the Twelfth Army, and the arrogant and murderous Toshio Tani was scared to pee his pants!

It's not that Gu Shoufu is timid, when has this guy ever been timid? The key is that the firepower and tactics of the Jiaodong Army are far beyond his cognitive level, which makes him unacceptable.

At the time of the Jinan tragedy, Gu Shoufu's predecessor and former commander of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, Fukuda Hikosuke, made waves in Jinan, playing with the dog meat general Zhang Zongchang and the negotiators of the Northern Expeditionary Army, slaughtering more than 17,000 soldiers and civilians in Jinan, in an attempt to prevent the reunification of China with the strength of one division. Later, Gu Shoufu led the Sixth Division to burn, kill, and loot in China, committing heinous crimes. A big reason for this situation is that in the view of Fukuda Hikosuke and Tani Toshio and others, China is much more backward than Japan, and the Chinese army is not the opponent of the Japanese army at all, and they beat the Chinese like adults beat children.

Now things are reversed, seeing that the main firepower of the instructor is so fierce, and in the blink of an eye, the strong Jinan city defense has been beaten to a pulp, how to teach Gu Shoufu how not to pee his pants?

Besides, all the murderous people are murderous when they slaughter others with butcher knives, and if the butcher's knife were to their necks, they would be even more loose than ordinary people. This is the same as those corrupt officials throughout the ages, teaching people while receiving gifts, pretending to be true, once the East Window incident happens, those guys will be as soft as snot and egg, eager to explain themselves and their wives' affairs. Guan Guizhi didn't care about laughing at Gu Shoufu, so he pulled him away.

Guan Guizhi moved quickly, and pulled Gu Shoufu off the city tower with three and two rolls, stumbled down the city wall, and fled to the headquarters.

As soon as the two Japanese lieutenant generals escaped from the inner city wall, the shells of the Jiaodong Army followed, and smashed fiercely on the city gate tower, the city wall, and the root of the city wall at the east gate of the inner city.

The headquarters of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army is located in the Jiaoji Road Hotel, Outside the West Gate of Jinan. It is a German-style building that originally sold Western food. When the Japanese army first committed the Jinan tragedy, it set up its headquarters here. When Nishio Shouzo served as the commander of the Second Army, he also took a fancy to the advantages of the Jiaoji Road Hotel's rigorous structure and ease of garrison, and it was still used as the headquarters station.

After returning to the headquarters of the 12th Army, he was safe for the time being, Gu Shoufu's urine was dripping, his mood was also stable, and the old devil was going to do evil again.

After Kobayashi Asaburo, chief of staff of the 12th Army, reported to Gu Shoufu about the large-scale shelling of the Jiaodong Army artillery group, he was reprimanded by Gu Shoufu, stayed in the headquarters and did not go out, did not witness the power of the Jiaodong Army when it entered Jinan City, and knew that the Jiaodong Army artillery group was still bombarding the city wall, and was holding a telephone and ordering the defending troops to launch a counterattack on the gap, and resolutely drove out the Jiaodong Army that broke through the gap and plugged the gap.

Putting down the phone, Kobayashi Asaburo no longer paid attention to the several phones on the table that jingled and screamed, and reported to Gu Shoufu: "Your Excellency Commander, the garrison reports that the Jiaodong Army has broken through the eastern wall of the outer city and is attacking and advancing in the direction of the inner city. In the south and north of the city, large troops of the Jiaodong Army were found. In the west, near Zhangzhuang Airport, the cavalry of the Jiaodong Army was found moving rapidly. The key troops stationed in the southeast and south of the city reported that they were attacked by the main force of the Jiaodong Army. The troops stationed in Dexian County reported that they were blocked by the Jiaodong Army in the process of reinforcement to the Luokou Bridge, and continued to attack after the arrival of the follow-up troops. The commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi, demanded a report on the siege of the Jiaodong Army, and strictly ordered our troops to defend Jinan to ensure that Jinan was not lost. ”

Without waiting for Gu Shoufu to speak, Guan Kaoji told Kobayashi Asaburo angrily: "Kobayashi-kun, the Jiaodong Army did not break through the eastern city wall, but entered the city in a big way under the cover of a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and was about to enter the inner city, hit the commercial port, and hit the headquarters of the 12th Army." Jinan is finished, the 34th Division is finished, we are all finished! Please report to the Earl of the temple immediately and ask for permission to abandon the city and break out. Otherwise, we will all become prisoners of the Jiaodong Army! ”

Kobayashi Asaburo glared at Guan Kaoji, and his face was also incredible.

Gu Shoufu looked at Guan Kaoji and Kobayashi Asaburo coldly, and didn't care whether he was angry or not, and said in a low voice: "Two, please retain a little dignity and decency of the Imperial Japanese Army, if you don't want to die and be captured, just cheer up and fight with the Jiaodong Army!" ”

When Guan Kamei Ji and Kobayashi Asaburo heard this, they were stunned. Gu Shoufu, like Guan Guizhi, also recognized the irreversible situation of the battle situation and Jinan was no longer guaranteed, but he had more combat experience than Guan Guizhi, and knew that Jiang Qiang had already closed the siege at this time, and it could only be a fool's dream to break through. Of course, he also had luck in case of a successful breakthrough.

Gu Shoufu glared at his eyes that were as red as wanting to eat people, swept around the faces of Guan Kaoji and Kobayashi Asaburo, and said viciously: "Kobayashi-kun, you immediately report to Commander Terauchi Shouichi that the Jiaodong Group Army has at least ten artillery regiments and a wing of tanks and armored vehicles, Jinan has been breached, and we are determined to repay His Majesty the Emperor with death and live and die with Jinan City." After sending the telegram, he called the head of the secret service, Ohashi Xiongxiong, and ordered him to command all the gendarmes, policemen, soldiers in the township, and personnel of various divisions and regiments stationed in Jinan to enter the battle, and the task was to sack Jinan and destroy Jinan. Whether it is set on fire or blown up with explosives, any method will do, the goal is to destroy all the shops, restaurants, factories, and banks in Jinan, in a word: slaughter the city! What we can't keep must not be left to the Jiaodong Group Army! ”

When Kobayashi Asaburo heard this, his blood swelled all over his body, and he "snapped" and stood upright: "Please rest assured, commander, I guarantee to complete the task!" After that, I went to deploy.

Gu Shoufu said to Guan Guizhi again: "Guan Guijun, although the Jiaodong Army has strong firepower and strong troops, street fighting is the strength of the imperial army, as long as it enters the street battle, it is a short-handed battle, and no matter how many cannons there are, it is useless." Tell the soldiers, don't panic. The more panicked you are, the easier it is to be killed. Don't think about retreating, breaking through, our two legs can't outrun cars and war horses anyway. All troops were ordered to use the streets, fortifications, and buildings to calmly respond to the battle, and use grenades, explosive packs, bayonets, and the Jiaodong Army to fight to the death to block the offensive of the Jiaodong Army. All units should act quickly, seize the Chinese as shields, and use the Chinese to block bullets for us. When the common people resisted, all the machine guns fired, and they died! If you can't beat the Jiaodong Army, can't you beat the unarmed people? Tell the soldiers that the number of civilians killed is also counted in the battle merit. Kill, kill me hard, as long as it is Chinese, including puppies and kittens, you can shoot them all! ”

When Gu Shoufu said this, Guan Kameji felt that His Excellency the Commander was simply a role model for Yamato warriors, and the image of peeing his pants just now was like two people. However, Guan Guizhi knew in his heart that if this order had been issued two hours earlier, it would be very likely that Jinan City would have been a human purgatory by now. It's a pity that the order was given too late, and the soldiers just wanted to rob, rape, kill, and set fire again, and they didn't have time anymore. It's not safe to hide in the fortifications, where can you run out to kill people and set fires again! Didn't you send yourself to the muzzle of the Jiaodong Army? Therefore, he proposed: "Your Excellency, there is another way, please ask Your Excellency the Commander and Chief of Staff Kobayashi to break through immediately, and I will command the troops to defend Jinan and cover Your Excellency's breakthrough." ”

Gu Shoufu didn't want to break through and escape, the first problem was that he knew in his heart that he might not be able to run out, and second, he didn't dare to abandon the city and run away without an order. The difference is that if you can't escape, you will die in the hands of the Jiaodong Army, and if you run away, you will die in the edict of His Majesty the Emperor ordering the disembowelment to apologize.

Gu Shoufu shook his head: "Guan Guijun, don't say such things again, I won't leave." You immediately ordered the defenders of the key points in the southeast and south of the city to rely on their positions, drag the first part of the Jiaodong Army, and reduce the pressure in Jinan. As long as we can hold out until dawn, no, hold on for a few hours, the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade can arrive and flank the Jiaodong Army."

Seeing that Gu Shoufu said so resolutely, Guan Guizhi couldn't say it anymore, so he directly picked up the phone in Gu Shoufu's office and began to command the troops to fight.

When Seki Kameji started to call, Kobayashi Asaburo came over with a lonely expression and reported that Ohashi Kumao's phone could not be reached, and the phones of the branches of the secret service in Jinan could not be reached, and it was likely that they had gone into hiding.

When Gu Shoufu heard this, he didn't understand what he meant, and asked Kobayashi Asaburo to report it again.

Kobayashi Asaburo had to repeat it, and Tani realized that Ohashi Kumao and his agents had sneaked away.

Gu Shoufu stood up from the chair suddenly, and the urine on his body made Kobayashi Asaburo nauseous for a while, and he opened his mouth and vomited.

Gu Shoufu didn't care about this, and cursed loudly that Ohashi Xiongxiong was a coward, a deserter, and a shame. After scolding, he pointed at Kobayashi Asaburo and shouted: "Yours, command the troops to move and carry out the order to destroy Jinan." Remember to execute all the prisoners in Jinan Prison, and blow up the grain depot, oil depot, and ammunition depot! ”

At this time, the battle had developed into a situation where Gu Shoufu could no longer be helped, because Jiang Qiang and the others were progressing too fast, so fast that Gu Shoufu's orders could no longer be conveyed to the troops for execution.

In order to catch up with the pace of the First Division, the brigade commander Chen Dayong could only hand over all the rubber-bottomed carts and war horses of the whole brigade to the 19th and 20th regiments, and asked Li Deguang, the chief of staff, to take these two regiments to rush to the southwest of Jinan City with the rapid movement of the cavalry battalion, block the escape route of the little devils, and lead the 21st Regiment, the New Seventh Regiment, and the Supplementary Regiment to march forcibly to Jinan City.

By the time the Seventh Brigade arrived at the east gate of Jinan, the First Division had already entered the city. Chen Dayong saw that this was the case, and said to Chief of Staff Liu Yi: "Chief of Staff, if we make a detour to the southwest, when we arrive at the designated place, this little devil in Jinan City will be killed." In my opinion, after revising the battle plan, we will enter the city from the east gate of the city, go up to the city wall, and attack along the city wall in two ways. What do you think? ”

Liu Yi, chief of staff of the Seventh Brigade, is a polite person, and at this time, he also showed the wild side of a soldier, and rolled up his sleeves: "Grandma, how much anger Lao Tzu has suffered in Jiaodong, it's time for revenge!" on, straight into town! ”

Chen Dayong immediately ordered that the three regiments and brigade troops behind the palace all enter the city from the east gate, go up to the city wall, and divide the troops into two roads and sweep from east to west.

At this time of the war, everyone knew that the little devils in Jinan were over. The Seventh Brigade did so, and the Sixth Division, which served as a reserve, of course, would not watch its brother troops capture Jinan while not firing a single shot. The division commander's eyes were red in the same year, but unfortunately it was useless to be in a hurry, and he didn't dare to move without an order.

In the same year, he urged the chief of staff, He Mingming, to send a report to the division headquarters over and over again, asking for approval to enter the battle. In the end, when the first division entered the city, he finally waited for Jiang Qiang's telegram: "Enter the city." After entering the battle, he took over the 1st Brigade to clear the stubborn Japanese puppet army and served as the city defense task of Jinan. In the same year, he was the commander of Jinan City Defense. ”

Jiang Qiang was appointed as the commander of Jinan's urban defense in the same year, because compared with the main brigade, the Sixth Division was only one and a half. Another meaning is that they are unwilling to expose the numbers and names of the main divisions of the first, second, fifth, and fourth divisions. The Seventh Brigade, which entered the city one step ahead of the Sixth Division, had already served as the commander of the Qingdao Garrison Command when he captured Qingdao, and he was no longer suitable to serve as the commander of Jinan's urban defense.
