Part III Blood and Fire War of Resistance Chapter 9 Rush Chapter 8 The Yellow River is Roaring (9)
As a general, you must judge the situation. If you should advance, advance, and if you should retreat, you should retreat, and you should retreat. There is no slight hesitation. After Matsui Ishigen issued a retreat order and arranged the retreat route, the 12th Army Command began to move north of the Yellow River.
The 59th Division, the 21st Mixed Brigade and the Third Mixed Brigade on the front of the Taishan Defense Line, began to retreat eastward under the command of Tadaoyasu Hosokawa, the commander of the 59th Division.
The abnormality of the Japanese front line was immediately noticed by Du Yuming. He immediately ordered the entire line to strengthen the attack and no longer retain his strength. The artillery fire on both sides of the Yellow River was formed.
After Zhong Bin occupied Wangshan Pass, he opened the passage to the northern plains. He then used a tank regiment to open the way, and the 36th Division of the 78th Army followed and launched an attack on Nanwangzhuang.
In the sky, bombs fell from the sky with a sharp roar. "Nanwangzhuang fires soared into the sky, and smoke filled the smoke; on the ground, more than a hundred tanks rushed towards Nanwangzhuang in a straight triangle formation; behind the tank were two completely regiments of the 36th Division.
On the front of Mount Tai, Du Yuming had long been aiming at the breakthrough point. He chose the breakthrough point at the junction of the 59th Division and the 21st mixed brigade. He attacked the 21st mixed brigade in Jinniu Mountain, Mashan, Wufeng Mountain in the northeast of Feicheng, and the Sanfeng Sixth Army advancing east along the south bank of the Yellow River. He stayed behind as a reserve force and pushed it to the front line, while the newly formed Seventh Army and the 77th Army entangled the Fifty-Nine Division.
In the Laiwu area, the retreat order was actually no longer effective. Under the attack of Lan Yundong, the Fifth Mixed Brigade almost all the outer positions were lost. The 55th Army conquered Lianhuā Mountain, and the 81st Division broke through the Wen River and cut off the connection between Laiwu and Tai'an: the 59th Army occupied Qishan. The shells could already be hit into the city of Laiwu.
In the direction of Boshan, "the 47th Army Fu family under Boshan City, the Sixth Mixed Brigade lost nearly half of it." Gu Teng Longfu had no choice but to abandon the city and flee north. Li Zongfang's troops divided into three groups" pursued him relentlessly.
Outside Jinan City, Guan Linzheng was full of energy, and four armies attacked in different directions. The Japanese army fought hard to fight. However, the 73rd Army conquered Maoling Mountain. The New 12th Army conquered Huilongling and Pingding Mountain. The Pingding Mountain rushed directly to the city of Jinan. The 20th Army was affiliated with the First Division of the New Fourth Army crossed the Xiaoqing River, detoured to the new city, and threatened the Japanese army to withdraw from the north.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, on the battlefield of Liaocheng, the Qing 4th Army of the Third Qing Army also arrived with two heavy artillery brigades, the Fourth Artillery Brigade and the Fifth Artillery Brigade, which were directly affiliated to the Military Commission. These two heavy artillery brigades were each equipped with twenty-four 130 cannons and twenty-four 150 howitzers.
After getting these two heavy artillery brigades, Song Xilian was very happy. During the Battle of Songhu, he suffered enough of the Japanese heavy artillery. He looked like a poor man turned over. Two heavy artillery brigades and two rocket artillery battalions took turns to fight. There was also a division in the sky with hundreds of aircraft to cooperate. "Turn the Japanese position into a sea of fire, tearing a gap from the Japanese tight defense circle, and cutting into the Japanese defense circle for three kilometers.
In the south of Liaocheng, Sun Zhen was in a tough battle. While cursing Song Xilian, he was gnawing on the Japanese position. "A village was connected to another village, and each village was fighting bloody battles" had to fight repeatedly, and the progress was extremely slow.
Although the outer positions were several lost, overall, the Japanese army blocked the fierce attack of the "Zhongshi team" campaign trajectory was always running on the track designed by Nakajima Kangyan. She was in a relaxed mood, but Nakajima Kangyan was worried.
"Commander, we should retreat." The Japanese army on the south bank of the Yellow River received a retreat order, but the Liaocheng army received a blocking order. Okamura Yasuji called to call the 1st Division of the chariot and the 5th Division back to Fangde Prefecture. However, the samaya refused to let the 5th Division leave, and only let the 1st Division of the chariots go to Dede Prefecture. Kazuya Nakajima did not object to this decision, but now he was worried.
"For three consecutive days, the Chinese tanks have not appeared on the battlefield. Where have they been?" A short cluster of beards appeared in Kaori Nakajima's jaw. There were a few bloodshot in his eyes and his mouth was a little dry and cracked: "If" If" Kaori Nakajima's fingers pointed at Guanxian: "Guanxian lost" If, the Chinese tanks crossed the Majia River and birds eastward along the Majia River...", Kaori Nakajima had not finished speaking, and there was a sarcastic spirit of the three spirits. "The north bank of Kaori Nakajima, there were almost no soldiers and were empty. The Chinese army could kill Dexian without any obstacles, and besiege Dexian with the already rebellious puppet troops.
"Then we retreat immediately and retreat to Dexian." The Matsumi made a quick decision, but Kazushi Nakajima didn't say a word and just stared at the map.
Amo Jingsan stared at him with some confusion. After a while, he saw Kazukai Nakajima frowned and said, "According to the order of General Okamura, we must stick here to cover the 12th Army's retreat north. If we give up Liaocheng now, what should the 12th Army do? If the 12th Army is annihilated for this, we will inevitably be held accountable after the war..."
Some Mo Jing San was struck by lightning and fell on a chair and stayed in Liaocheng. Not to mention the two armies that were attacking, once the 12th Army retreated across the Yellow River, the Chinese army pursuing the 12th Army would inevitably flock to the sky. At that time, these tens of thousands of people would not escape.
The god of the third sage is silenceless, Nakajima Kangjian is silent, his eyes wandering on the map, "It seems that there is something unspeakable hidden.
"If this is the case, we can only stay here." Youmo Jingsan finally didn't dare to leave like this. And once he gave up Liaocheng, the Chinese army that was attacking outside the city would never let them go.
The Mo Jingsan gritted his teeth and defended Liaocheng to the death. Song Xlian continued to open the way with artillery fire and wanted to blew a fire from the west. Japanese soldiers struggled and fought hard in the artillery fire.
On the north bank of Majia River, on the road outside Linqing City, "a long list of tanks were driving along the highway towards Linqing City. The four gates of Linqing City were wide open. The Imperial Army garrisons lined up outside the city. The five-sè hat badge on the military cap had been removed. On the city wall, in front of the queue, the blue sky and white sun flag fluttered in the wind.
Behind the Imperial Army were bands and thousands of citizens, crowded with both sides of the road, and the blue sky and white sun flags in their hands were shaking. When tanks appeared at the end of the road, some teams had tanks in the crowd. In recent years, only the Japanese tank armored vehicles showed off their power in the city and outside the city. I have never seen tanks. Some timid people began to slip away quietly, and the rest were also uncertain. The puppet soldiers in front also grabbed the guns in their hands," looking nervously at the commander in front.
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! This is our tank!", "It is our tank! Our!"
A sharp-eyed man saw the blue sky and white sun flag flying on the first tank rabbit, and immediately announced loudly that some people in the crowd did not believe it, and many citizens still dispersed. A female student stood up and called everyone to see clearly. It was our tank, and then someone stood up. The county magistrate ran to the commander quickly. The commander put down his telescope, breathed a lot, and ordered the band to play music. The volunteer march immediately ran into the team, and the citizens who were a little chaotic suddenly became quiet.
"Malabazi, what are you doing?" The captain of the first tank was from Northeastern. He thought he could fight a war, but he didn't expect that this was the case." He was a little confused and called out after grabbing the phone.
The company commander's scolding came from the walkie-talkie: "You can just drive it, just drive it. The Linqing Japanese have already run away, and now there are only the puppet troops left. Do you dare to shoot these cords?" The tanks are getting closer and closer, and people finally saw the flying small flag and the huge blue sky and white sun emblem on the wall of the car, and the cheers are deaf.
"Long live **!" "Long live Chairman Jiang!" The sound of gongs and drums completely overwhelmed the music. The tank stopped in front of the team, and the Northeast commander jumped off the tank. The commander of the puppet army hurriedly greeted him and ran to the commander. He saluted respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir! Thank you for your hard work!" The lieutenant looked at the two stars on the commander's shoulder, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. The lieutenant saluted the lieutenant, "Is there such military etiquette? However, he was silent on his face.
"Are there any devils in the city?", "No, no" The devils have already run away. In the past month, we are here, and we have been waiting for the ** to come." The commander quickly introduced the situation in the city to the Northeast Second Lieutenant. After hearing this, the lieutenant immediately reported to his superiors. The gunner crawled out half of his body and told him that the superiors ordered that he would not stay and pass the city immediately.
The Northeast Lieutenant ignored the commander. "He turned around and jumped onto the tank. The tank restarted. The citizens along the way looked at the steel column with joy. Some bold students climbed onto the tank and entered the city with tanks." He waved to the citizens along the way, and jumped out of the car at another city gate and watched the tank go east.
"Commander, Commander Zhuang called and blamed us for being too slow. The Japanese invaders south of the Yellow River have begun to retreat. Commander Zhuang asked us to speed up and must seize De County before the Japanese." The Chief of Staff said, handing Zhuang Jihua's telegram to Ye Qingquan.
"I just know how to urge, urge, urge, urge." Qiu Qingquan couldn't help but send a prison sentence: "Can we blame us for slow speed? The oil was two days late, two days, forty-eight hours, and the infantry was too late, so I knew that it was one day late to grab territory along the way."
After the formation was issued, Ye Qingquan still ordered to speed up, but the chief of staff stopped him: "Can you not speed up any more, the infantry is already ten kilometers behind.
"How can we not fall behind? We rely on tracks. Can they pass us by two tui?" Qiu Qingquan was angry and raised the telegram in his hand: "The commander's order, who dares to disobey! Besides, "Would we not be able to do it without infantry?" Order, speed up!"
The steel column quickly accelerated, and the tanks rushed north with the wind. Shortly after passing Linqing, an airplane passed over the column, flew forward and back, and flew back again.
Several tanks left the column and stopped in the wilderness. After a while, the plane flew over the sky again and fell a communication postbox from the plane, with a small parachute hanging on it. Two soldiers ran over to pick up the postbox.
The chief of staff said while driving, "The Air Force didn't know what it found." It was so hurrying, it should be designed..." The words stopped abruptly, Qiu Qingquan was looking at his steel column intoxicatedly, and suddenly he couldn't hear the Chief of Staff's voice. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the Chief of Staff's god, "What's wrong?"
"According to the situation reported by the Air Force, a Japanese tank unit was found eight kilometers west of Gaotang."
