Chen Zhengnian, who received the order, Ma Shan waved his troops and rushed towards Jinan. When he arrived at the East Gate, seeing that even the Seventh Brigade had entered the city through the East Gate, Chen Zhengnian immediately ordered the troops to use the cars left by the First Division outside the city and drive them into the city to kill the devils.

After the 2nd Division seized the Luokou Bridge, it left a regiment to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Luokou Town and Queshan, and Liu Jianli and Zhao Zhengbi personally led the main force of the brigade to advance in the direction of the north gate of Jinan.

By the time the second division arrived at the north gate, the first division had already entered the city, and the entire Jinan city was full of gunfire and the explosion of shells, grenades, and explosives.

Liu Jianli saw that this was the case, and immediately ordered the new second regiment and the supplementary regiment to detour west along the city wall to block the escape route of the little devil, and then called the artillery commander, pointed to the Haiyan Gate and said: "Give you 10 minutes, concentrate all the artillery fire, and blast the city gate open to Lao Tzu!" The artillery commander said that he would promise to complete the task, and then went to command the deployment.

In addition to the 48 field guns, the artillery regiment of the Second Division is also equipped with an antiaircraft artillery company, a flying thunder artillery battalion, and infantry guns and mortars of the 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments, so that the firepower is strong enough. At this point, the artillery commander was also worried that he would not be able to complete the task within 10 minutes, so he used all the bazookas of the three regiments, let the soldiers approach the city wall in concealment, set up the bazookas, and join the bombardment of the north gate and the city wall.

Five minutes later, the artillery regiment of the 2nd Division opened fire, and the explosives fired by field artillery shells and flying thunder guns smashed in an arc towards the city gate tower and the city wall, and the anti-aircraft guns and flat-fire infantry guns smashed into the city gate and the city wall. Suddenly, the sound of the explosion echoed in the sky above the north gate of Jinan City, and the corpses of the little devils fell down to the city wall along with the stones and mud on the city wall.

Taking advantage of the cover of the artillery group's fire, the bazooka groups of each regiment jumped into range, and the fighters quickly set up the bazookas and began to bombard a little. The intensive shelling caused the city wall of the north gate of Jinan to collapse, and there were gaps everywhere.

Liu Jianli waved his hand, the trumpet of the charge sounded, and the three main regiments of the Second Division and the divisional troops, who had been hiding and waiting in Rizhao for so long and had already been suffocated with fire, poured into the north gate like a flash flood. The most depressed was the 3rd Division.

The artillery regiment of the 3rd Division was assigned to Tao Zhuangming for unified command. Originally, according to the battle plan, there was a special artillery group to cooperate with the third division, but Tao Zhuangming temporarily revised the battle plan and concentrated the artillery group to bombard the north gate. Therefore, by the time the 3rd Division arrived at Qilu University in the South Gate, the artillery group had not yet followed. Well, the infantry guns, grenadiers, and heavy machine guns set up by the little devils on the south gate were desperately strafing, and the little devils stationed at Qilu University were covered by fire, and they also used the fortifications and school buildings to resist desperately, and the troops could not reach the city gate at all.

Seeing that this was the case, Yun Qichang simply ordered each regiment to organize firepower, shoot at the Japanese troops on the city wall, suppress the devils, cover the attack of the troops, and first eliminate the little devils who were guarding Qilu University. If this is left in peacetime, the firepower of the regiments of the Third Division alone is much stronger than the firepower of the Japanese army defending the city, and the strength is much stronger than that of the little devils. The problem is that the first division has already entered the city, and there is already gunfire in Jinan. If it is a little later, it is estimated that the little devils in the city will be killed by the first division. What is the tradition of Chen Zhengnian and his first division, Yun Qichang knows very well, when he sees the little devil, he is used to eating soup with bones, and wants them to leave some for other troops, but there is no door!

The old and heavy-minded Yun Qichang was so anxious that he dug his crotch! At this time, the artillery group moving with the cavalry traveled westward and passed through the south of the city, and Chang Dacang, the chief of staff of the Third Division, immediately stepped forward to stop them, asking them to stay for a while and help the Third Division blast open the south gate.

The artillery group that moved with the cavalry was centered on the cavalry brigade artillery regiment, which was formed after the elimination of the 107th Division, and had very few combat missions. As soon as they heard that the prestigious Third Division asked for help, they immediately became energetic and asked to join the war to support the Third Division.

In this way, the artillery group, which moved with the cavalry, delayed the march for 10 minutes, set up a position outside the south gate, and began to repair the defenders of the south gate. The shells were exploding, the explosives were exploding, and the Japanese troops on the wall of the south gate, who were still pouring ammunition into the city just now, were suddenly stunned, not knowing what bad things their ancestors had done, and they had ended up with such a fate: they were dead, and in the end, they couldn't even get a complete body!

At the moment when the south gate was opened, the same year the order to attack was issued, and the regiments of the Third Division poured in, and the Japanese troops who were guarding Qilu University and were still resisting wildly just now quickly disappeared without a trace under the frenzy of the attack of the Third Division, like the waves in the rushing river. The Third Division of the Hundred Battles Division has entered Jinan from the south!

The artillery group of the cavalry brigade that completed the task was full of laughter and laughter on the position, and the soldiers happily packed up their artillery and continued to advance westward, chasing the cavalry brigade. At this point, all divisions and main forces of the Jiaodong Group Army entered Jinan City, from the fence wall to the streets of the outer city, Jinan City was full of guns and shouts of the Jiaodong Army. Little devils, don't say that they want to fight with the Jiaodong Army, they just don't want to. Jinan City is only a large area, its perimeter of the wall is only 12 kilometers, this time into so many elite Jiaodong Army soldiers, every street, every alley has troops attacking, searching to eliminate the remnants of the enemy.

After completing the bombardment of the east gate of the inner city of Jinan, Tao Zhuang knew that the big thing had been decided. However, he is a warm-hearted person and loves to help. At this time, the communications battalion of the headquarters set up the telephone, and Tao Zhuangming picked up the phone and reported to Jiang Qiang: "Report to the commander: The Jinan city wall is too unbeatable. Lao Tzu was a concentrated artillery bombardment, and the city wall between the two east gates was collapsed. Another salvo knocked down the east gate of the inner city. Now that all the troops have entered the city, those division commanders and chiefs of staff are busy catching the devil commander, and no one has reported to you, right? It's better for us to think about the commander in everything. No, I'll report to you as soon as the shelling is over. Commander, listen up! Our Lao Tao led the artillery group into the city, where there are little devils who resist stubbornly, our Lao Tao will bombard the hell for the commander! ”

Jiang Qiang listened to it funny on the phone, and when Tao Zhuang was finished, he asked softly: "Brigade Commander Tao, whose son are you?" ”

Tao Zhuangming hurriedly stood up and said into the microphone: "I'm sorry, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, an absolute slip of the tongue!" I am my son's Lao Tzu, yes, I am my son's Lao Tzu! The voice from the microphone was still so gentle: "Where is your son?" Why didn't I see it? ”

"Report to the commander: my son is in my wife's womb!" "Alright, that's your thing! It's been more than a year since I've been married, and my wife's stomach is still as flat as the airport. It's time to empty the cannon! ”

"Lao Tzu just got married, and his daughter-in-law went to the front line without even warming the bed, where can I give birth to a baby! Your commander is full of men, you don't know that hungry men are hungry, and you can fight and have babies. Can my old Tao compare with you? Open your grace, I'm going crazy! If your sister-in-law doesn't come again, it is estimated that Lao Tzu will not even be able to fight with air cannons! ”

"Less! Hurry up and lead the artillery group to catch up! I can tell you, save shells, immediately after the battle is over, reorganize the ranks, leave the air defense brigade to set up positions around Jinan, and the artillery brigade immediately make preparations for battle. As soon as Li Chang heard that he still had to prepare for battle, he was no longer nervous, and hurriedly said "yes", put down the phone, and commanded the artillery group to roll away into the city of Jinan.

After the first division entered the city, Chen Zhengnian commanded a regiment to take the lead, using tanks and armored vehicles to open the road, along the east-west street, towards the east gate of the inner city, Qichuan Gate. The 2nd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, the 1st New Regiment and the troops directly under the division that entered the city with the 1st Regiment, under the cover of the 2nd Regiment's tank armored vehicles, first surrounded and annihilated the troops gathered around the east gate of the city wall.

Strictly speaking, the tactics of this little devil are still at the level of summarizing the tactics of the First World War. In this city defense battle, like most Chinese troops, they also paid attention to defending the city wall, thinking that the city wall could block the pace of the Chinese army's attack. Guan Kauji not only concentrated the heavy firepower of each unit on the city wall, but also transferred the main force to the city wall, so that it could be put into battle at any time. This is true of the outer city, and it is also true of the inner city. Nishio Shouzo designed it this way at the time, and Tani Shoufu did not raise any objections after reading it, indicating that the Japanese army was this tactic.

Of course, in order to kill and injure a large number of Jiaodong troops with peripheral positions and outer cities, and ensure that Jinan's city defense support is supported until reinforcements arrive, Guan Guizhi spent a lot of thought on the deployment of troops. The 213th Wing was placed on the outer position, the 214th Wing was placed in the outer city, the 216th Wing in the inner city was used as a reserve, and the divisional baggage wing, engineer wing, and search team were holding the commercial port. After the Jinan garrison and the 35th Division were assembled, the remaining two brigades, as well as the puppet army garrison in Jinan, and the temporarily conscripted armed expatriates were under the command of the 214th Wing, which held on to the outer city.

As for the street defense, Seki didn't put much effort into it, just laid out some barricades on the streets. This can't be blamed on Guan Guizhi's carelessness, mainly because he didn't expect the Jiaodong Army to be able to break the city in one fell swoop. In Guan Guizhi's mind, with the solidity of the city walls of Jinan, his 30th Division, plus the Jinan garrison and the puppet army, would have no problem guarding for a week, at least for a day and a night.

There is another reason, that is, the 34th Division just entered Jinan yesterday, the Jiaodong Army did not reach the outside of Jinan during the day yesterday and today, the market in Jinan is still very calm, the little devil is still unwilling to show weakness in front of the Chinese, and still wants to maintain the prosperity of Jinan, and it is impossible to turn the city into a blocking position before it is attacked, right?

In this way, the commander of the 214th wing moved his mind. He placed the main force of his 214th Wing in the east gate, the north gate, and the south gate city wall. The city wall of the West Gate was defended by a brigade of the Jinan garrison, and when the Eighth Route Army was preparing to launch the first wave of attacks, the main force would give the Eighth Route Army the maximum damage, and then the main force would be withdrawn, and a brigade of the Jinan garrison, the puppet army and the Japanese expatriates temporarily armed would be sent to the city wall to confront the Eighth Route Army, and the main force would be concealed and waiting.

Normally, this configuration is normal. The Japanese officers have studied the tactics of the Chinese army intensively, and know that in general, the Chinese troops attack the city, and the covering fire is heavy machine guns and mortars, and they all come to reconnoiter with fire first, and then the infantry carry the ladder and shout to pounce again and again, taking climbing the city wall and occupying the city wall as a sign of victory.

In the 214th Wing, the commander thought that Jiang Qiang's troops had a lot of artillery, but no matter how much he did, he would also carry out fire reconnaissance, send infantry to launch a tentative attack, and then find out the light and dark firepower points of the imperial army, and then concentrate artillery fire to bombard the gap. In this way, the main force he placed on the city wall can give a lot of casualties when Jiang Qiang's infantry launches a tentative attack, and then withdraw the city wall to hide, and when Jiang Qiang's artillery fire opens the gap and the infantry pours into the gap, swing the main force to kill and destroy the Jiaodong army that is pouring into the gap, and turn the gap into a meat grinder for the siege troops of the Jiaodong army.

The idea of the captain of the 214th Wing of the Japanese army was very good, but it was a pity that he had not fought with the main force of the instructor and did not understand Jiang Qiang's tactics at all. No, as soon as he came up, he buried the main brigade on the city wall of the East Gate under the muzzle of the Jiaodong Army.

Guan Guizhi and Gu Shoufu knew this deployment of the 214th Wing Captain, so at the moment when the Jiaodong Army artillery group bombarded the east city wall, they all knew that Jinan City could not be defended. After the main force of the 1st Division entered the city, it encountered the Jinan garrison, temporary conscription soldiers and puppet troops of the 214th Wing who stayed under the city wall to prepare to replace the main force on the city wall.

At the beginning, the Japanese puppet army was still very tenacious. Probably out of self-preservation, the little devils frantically shot at the Jiaodong army that pressed up, and the little devils in the barricade fortifications beat the machine guns like the wind, intending to stop the Jiaodong army from entering. Even the puppet soldiers of the puppet Shandong garrison were not willing to be defeated, and under the threat of devil bayonets and machine guns, they shot and threw bombs at the Jiaodong Army, and when they found that the machine guns and rifles were useless against the tanks of the Jiaodong Army, some young Japanese soldiers pounced on the tank armored vehicles with explosives bags and grenades, wanting to die with the tanks.

Accompanying the tanks were the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 1st regiments of the 1st Division of the Jiaodong Army. In particular, the 1st Regiment was heavily equipped with 95 assault rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, and infantry guns, and its equipment was not of a higher level than the 34th Division of the Japanese Army. Not only can Jiang Qiang's name be called out by each soldier, but also regularly correct the study book for them, every soldier is a literate soldier, familiar with the equipment, and the level of using the equipment is very high. The little devil wants to use explosives packs and grenades to die with the tank, but he has to pass them first, right? The problem is that the little devil can't pass this level, and can only be beaten into mud!

Waiting for the first regiment of tanks to press through the barricades of the little devils and roll westward, the second regiment had more tanks and armored vehicles than the first regiment to cover the infantry of the three regiments and pressed up again. Now, these Japanese puppet troops, who were not the main force and elite, couldn't hold on, and began to run away with their butts backwards.

The Japanese puppet army fled along the streets and alleys in front, and the tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry of the Jiaodong Army turned on their lights, and the machine guns swept fiercely, chasing after them. Seeing that they couldn't run the wheels and bullets, those puppet soldiers began to raise their guns and surrender, leaving only the temporarily conscripted armed expatriates and the Jinan garrison still rushing towards the south gate, the north gate and the inner city.

By the time the south and north gates were all blown up, and the Third Division, the Second Division, and the Seventh Brigade and Sixth Division, which had followed the First Division into the city, poured into the city, the battle in the outer city of Jinan had actually entered the stage of sweeping up.

When Tao Zhuangming's artillery group collapsed the east gate of the inner city, a regiment had already rushed to the east gate of the inner city. Chen Zhengnian is full of attack speed, he wants to quickly open up the east-west traffic in Jinan City, completely disrupt the devils, and facilitate the division and annihilation of the follow-up troops.

As soon as Tao Zhuangming's artillery group stopped shelling, Chen Zhengnian listened attentively and saw that there was no movement on the Japanese position, and with a wave of his hand, tanks and armored vehicles were dispatched. It turned out that the supplementary battalion, which had been following behind the three main battalions, took the lead, and rushed into the city gate after passing the three main battalions and following the tanks and armored vehicles.

Chen Zhengnian understood the move of the supplementary battalion very well, and they were all working hard from the battalion commander to the soldiers, and wanted to compare with the main battalion to see if there was a gap in combat effectiveness. Therefore, Chen Zhengnian did not make adjustments, he also wanted the supplementary battalion to show his prestige.

The inner city is stationed the 215th Wing of the Little Devils. This wing is also the general reserve of the Jinan garrison, and its strength is not much different from that of the first regiment. There is a big gap between the equipment, the level of training, and the combat effectiveness of the regiment.

When the artillery group of the Jiaodong Army shelled the outlying positions of the Japanese army on the front line of Wangshe Renzhuang, the 215th Wing had already received the order to prepare for battle, and the troops had been assembled. When the artillery group of the Jiaodong Army collapsed the east gate of the outer city, the commander of the 215th Wing wanted to lead the reinforcements to beat the Jiaodong Army out. However, before he received the order to reinforce the east gate of the outer city, the tanks of the first division roared into the outer city, and then the artillery group of the Jiaodong Army began to extend the shooting, which collapsed the Qichuan Gate at once, and also reimbursed the little devils on the wall of the Qichuan Gate.

It was immediately clear to the commander of the 215th Wing that he was no longer a reserve, but an inner city garrison. Moreover, the main direction of attack of the Jiaodong Army is the East Gate, and whether the inner city can be held depends on whether it can hold the East Gate.

The main forces of the Devil 215 Wing were all concentrated at Qichuanmen. Under these circumstances, a regiment of supplementary battalions rushed into Qichuan Gate along with tanks and armored vehicles, and they were greeted by a dense rain of bullets and infantry guns and grenadier shells of the 215th Wing.

The devil's infantry artillery and grenadiers do not work against tanks, but pose a threat to armored vehicles. Two armored vehicles trailing the tanks were shot and immediately lay on their stomachs.

The light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and grenades of the devils were specially used against the infantry of the Jiaodong Army. Light and heavy machine guns aimed at the gap for covering fire, and the little devil's little melon grenades fell one after another like hail, Rao is soldiers have tank cover, and they are all equipped with enough earth tanks to cover their bodies, but the Japanese army's firepower counterattack still blew up the supplementary battalion that followed the tanks and armored vehicles into the Qichuan Gate, and even the battalion commander fell in a pool of blood.

When has Chen Zhengnian suffered such a loss since he commanded a group? Seeing the blood of the soldiers staining the garbage on the ruins of Qichuan Gate red, Chen Zhengnian's eyes were broken, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly!" ”

The three main battalions of the first regiment are on par with the old battalion everywhere, and they have not retreated in the battle, and they will not give up until they can complete their tasks. The casualties were so great that the soldiers did not even take half a step back, and the living soldiers quickly lay down on the spot and began to shoot at the little devils.

Fortunately, Chen Zhengnian has experienced a hundred battles and has extremely rich battlefield experience, so he is not panicked. Otherwise, if all the main forces rushed up just now, the losses would be even greater, and maybe a group would have been disabled.

As soon as he saw that the little devil's firepower was so ferocious, and the troops suffered large casualties, Chen Zhengnian knew that he had encountered a hard stubble. This must be the main force of the little devils in Jinan City, destroy them, and the battle to capture Jinan is over.

Chen Zhengnian immediately ordered tanks and armored vehicles to continue to attack and advance, impact the formation and artillery positions of the little devils, and cover the heavy fire of the regiment to occupy the position; Command each bazooka group to bombard the place where the little devils are concentrated and destroy the little devils' will to resist; The second and third battalions were ordered to seize the city wall from the north and south, and the old first battalion was ready to attack the devils head-on.

Tao Zhuangming's artillery group firepower was too strong, not only collapsed the Qichuan Gate, but even the city wall connected to the Qichuan Gate was blown down a large section. The gap was too large to be large enough for a regiment to deploy its forces and firepower. After teaching more than 20 infantry guns and a long heavy machine gun and grenadier canisters of the first regiment to be erected, the commander of the 215th Wing understood why the Jiaodong Group Army always won battles.

The infantry guns of the regiment were fixed to the cars when they were marching, and the cars were left outside the city, and the infantry guns were all dismounted, loaded on wheels, and the soldiers pushed forward.

It didn't take long for a mass of revenge to begin. First, the firepower of tanks and armored vehicles was exerted, attacking as they drove and rushing towards the devils. Immediately after that, the rocket launcher groups that occupied the position began to bombard, and as soon as they hit it, it was a dead man. After the heavy firepower of the first regiment was deployed, the arrogance of the little devil was suppressed.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the second and third battalions went up to the city wall and began to attack the devils from a high position. At this time, the old battalion made a move, and the fighters each had a 95 assault rifle, and the bullets were endless, and they hit it very accurately. Not to mention those little devils who were still throwing grenades just now, not to mention those machine gunners and gunners, even those guys who conceal their bodies and shoot with rifles, as long as they dare to show their heads without fear of death, they will be knocked down.

Chen Zhengnian was ruthless, and he had to wipe out all these devils! Sneak attack on Weicheng killed so many devils, how many casualties did there be in one group? The trick played by the little devil just now broke a casualty record since its establishment, so how can Chen Zhengnian not hate. Chen Zhengnian strictly ordered all battalions to pounce on them, launch firepower, and use bullets to send these damn devils back to Little Japan!

When the opponent's firepower is too strong, you are a special soldier and a sniper, and it is impossible to have too many opportunities to show your individual quality. Now the firepower of a regiment is strong enough, but the little devils on the opposite side do not have the quality of special forces and snipers. They had no choice but to surrender and die.

This is no longer the time for him to launch a surprise attack, and what he regrets most now is why he didn't fire a gas bomb! If you fire poison gas bombs, you will be too close to let your soldiers die, and at least you can drag these Jiaodong soldiers to be buried. Now it's over, and there is no chance to fire gas bombs.

Due to the bombing of the Eighth Route Army Air Force on the road from Tai'an to Jinan, the 33rd Division suffered heavy losses, and the 215th Wing also replenished a large number of soldiers of the Jinan garrison. These little devils have never fought with the Eighth Route Army since they arrived in China, and they don't know what they are afraid of. Now I know that I am afraid, and I regret joining the army and coming to China, but the bullets of the Jiaodong Group Army are also aimed at them. The lucky ones of these guys couldn't hold it anymore and began to run away.
