At this time, the 27th Division of the Japanese Army was already highly concentrated, and planned to launch an attack on Feixian County along the Zilin Highway early tomorrow morning.

Lieutenant General Honma Masan, commander of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, judged that the Eighth Route Army was trying to uproot the forward stronghold between the Japanese Army and the Chaiwen River stretching into the mountainous area of central and southern Lu, and he was not surprised but rejoiced, because at this time, in addition to the 27th Division, the 2nd Guards Division of the Japanese Army was concentrated in the Zou County area, and the 12th Division of the Japanese Army was concentrated in the Tengxian area, preparing to launch an attack on Fei County at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning and capture Fei County in one fell swoop. Honma Masaan has goods in his waist and is not timid, knowing that if he encounters an attack, he can get reinforcements from the 2nd and 12th Guards Divisions and the 16th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Tai'an, and he also has a group of North China Security Army in his hands, with a huge number of troops, and he is not afraid of what tricks the Eighth Route Army will do.

Honma Masaan gave a very stupid order, that is, to order the Japanese army, which was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, to abandon their strongholds, retreat while fighting, and move closer to the starting position of the main Japanese attack on the railway. The main forces of the 27th Division were ordered to urgently mobilize and prepare for battle.

Honma Masana wanted to lure Yòu's Eighth Route Army, which launched a night attack, into his ambush circle and encircled and annihilated him.

The 27th Division had already been dealt a heavy blow by the Eighth Route Army several times. The first time was when the instructor of the Eighth Route Army attacked and occupied Tianjin, when a wing of the infantry brigade of the North China Garrison Army, the predecessor of the 27th Division, was stationed in Tianjin, and all the Eighth Route Army that was successfully attacked was cut into headless ghosts. The last time was in the last Battle of Lunan, when the Eighth Route Army caught up with the rearguard led by the infantry commander of the 27th Division, Suzuki Keihisa, at Ciyao and wiped them out. After the main force of the 27th Division retreated back to Jinan, it held on to the spot, and later participated in the sweep of the Shandong base area by the Japanese army's heavy army group, and is now stationed in Yanzhou, Jining, Qufu and other places in southern Lunan, completing the rest and replenishment and restoring its combat effectiveness.

If it was an ordinary squadron, after the three brigades got into the ambush circle of the 27th Division, it was likely that they would not be able to get out. At the very least, it will hurt the muscles and bones, and the losses will be heavy. However, Honma Masana did not know that he was facing opponents such as the Eighth Route Army's First Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade and the New First Brigade, and he was also equipped with a powerful artillery group. If I knew, I guess Honma Masaan wouldn't be so arrogant.

The main force of the 27th Division, which had prepared a raid on Fei County near the Zilin Highway near Qufu, and the puppet North China Security Army under the command of Honma Masan, acted under the strict orders of Honma Masaka, and took advantage of the cover of the night to go to the Si River, smuggle across the Si River, and outflank the Eighth Route Army attacking the Jinpu Road in a roundabout way.

The 27th Mountain Artillery Wing, which was attached to the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, also received an urgent order to rush the artillery wagons to the north, relying on the Jinpu Road defense line to establish a position, and prepare to carry out artillery strikes on the attacking Eighth Route Army.

As soon as Honma Masaka's side was arranged, an alarm was also heard north of the kiln, and the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on the Japanese puppet army around Tai'an in two directions.

For a moment, Honma's eyes were confused, he couldn't figure out what the Eighth Route Army was going to do, was it to repeat the Battle of Lunan?

However, there is one thing that Honma has made clear, that is, the Eighth Route Army that launched the attack did not have a large artillery group, nor did it have combat vehicles, armored vehicles, or automobiles. Honma Masana therefore judged that the Eighth Route Army that launched the attack was definitely not Liu Yimin's main force with powerful artillery groups, combat vehicles, armored vehicles, and automobiles, but the Eighth Route Army that had been fighting with the imperial army in central and southern Lu. It must be that the intelligence of the imperial army has leaked, and the Eighth Route Army, which is garrisoned in front of it, has been ordered to launch an attack, with the purpose of disrupting the deployment of the imperial army for tomorrow's operation and delaying the launch of the imperial army's assault operation, so as to reserve time for their base to prepare for the counterattack.

As soon as he thought of this, Honma Masa's eyes angrily scolded the intelligence officers for their dereliction of duty, the accurate information of the Eighth Route Army could not be obtained, but such a confidential information of the Imperial Army was leaked, it was simply the extreme!

Honma Masaka thought that he had judged the enemy's situation, and he became more and more emboldened, and he was looking forward to the Eighth Route Army drilling into his ambush circle.

Things really happened as Lieutenant General Honma Masamei thought, as soon as the devils in the attacked forward stronghold withdrew, the Eighth Route Army pursued and attacked fiercely, rushing towards the ambush position of the Japanese army on the Jinpu Road.

After receiving the report from the forward position, Lieutenant General Honma Masaan was overjoyed and strictly ordered all troops to endure and not to fire in advance, so as not to be frightened and flee the pursuing Eighth Route Army.

It was the troops of the New 1st Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the local armed forces operating in this area that were tasked with attacking the forward strongholds of the Japanese army between the Chaiwen River and the Sihe River.

At this time, the defenders of the forward strongholds of the Japanese army had received orders to abandon their positions one after another, and retreated while fighting towards the Jinpu Road defense line. The units of the New 1st Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the local armed forces participating in the battle rushed after each other, and the sound of gunfire, grenade explosions, artillery of infantry guns and grenadiers, and shouts of killing were everywhere at night.

According to the operational plan of the military region, the new 1st Brigade was to use the night to clear the forward stronghold of the Japanese army between the Chaiwen River and the Sihe River, open the assault passage of the 1st Brigade, the cavalry brigade and the artillery group, and the entire western group pounced on the Jinpu Road, destroyed or defeated the Japanese defenders between the Jinpu Road Ciyao and Yanzhou, and completely destroyed the railway. Reach this goal, and the attack mission is complete.

The operational plan of the military region also called for the use of the new 1st Brigade to conduct offensive operations against the forward strongholds of the Japanese army, to attract reinforcements from the main forces of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, and to use artillery groups, armored assaults of the 1st Brigade of the Jiao 1st Brigade, and cavalry assaults of the Cavalry Brigade to destroy the main force or part of the main force of the 27th Division. Considering that the Japanese army has been repeatedly attacked by us, it has become extremely vigilant, and it is difficult to get them to take the bait. Under normal circumstances, when the Japanese army encounters an attack from our army, it will either hold its position to the death, or shrink the defensive line, or even retreat to the county towns to hold on. The main force of our army belongs to a surprise operation, the purpose is to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, and it is impossible to attack the city continuously overnight! Once our army is under the fortified city, it will be bombed by Japanese planes after dawn, and Méng will suffer losses. Therefore, the military region's operational plan listed the attack on the Jinpu Road as the campaign objective and the area between the Chaiwen River and the Sihe River as the attack point, and did not make any hard provisions for the destruction of the main force of the Japanese 27th Division and regiment gathered near the Zilin Highway in the Qufu area.

The terrain between the Chaiwen River and the Si River is convenient for the main force of our army to conceal the enemy, and it is also convenient for our army to retreat and rely on the Sihe River and mountains to block the reinforcement of the main force of the Japanese army south of Qufu, which can ensure that our army can retreat after reaching the campaign goal. As long as the Japanese army dares to pursue and teach the combat effectiveness of the 1st Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, and the New 1st Brigade, it is completely possible to carry out ambushes or counter-assaults against the Japanese army. I'm afraid that the Japanese army will not dare to pursue!

When Liu Yimin formulated this plan, he repeatedly pondered the character and combat characteristics of Honma Masaka, the commander of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, and felt that this old playboy did not have the courage to pursue our army or counterattack our army, and it was very likely that after being attacked, he would retreat in the Qufu area and remain still, relying on a strong position to hold on, waiting for dawn.

What Liu Yimin didn't expect was that Honma Masana was stationed in the Lunan Plain during this time, and there was no main force of the Eighth Route Army in this area, and Honma Masana was almost invincible, and his courage became greater, and he also wanted to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor!

Honma Masaka wanted to send his soldiers to the guns of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army was embarrassed not to accept them. Little devils, a few more deaths are a few, so as not to keep the scourge of people.

It is not the style of the Japanese army to abandon their positions and flee after being attacked at night!

Gao Yuan, who was in charge of the command of the Western Group, immediately realized that the Japanese army was engaged in a conspiracy, and it was obvious that they wanted to divert our attacking troops towards the Jinpu Road defense line. It seems that the Japanese army has a lot of appetite, and it is to talk about our army sticking to the defense line of Jinpu Road and preparing to ambush our army.

The reports of the scouts confirmed the judgment of the plateau, and the main force of the Japanese army stationed in Qufu was crossing the Sihe Bridge, and it was possible to outflank our attack troops in a roundabout way!

Gao Yuan smiled proudly, his eyes were bright and bright, and he said to Cheng Cuilin, Hu Laohu, and Zhou Yi beside him: "The little devil commander's head was kicked by a donkey, and he actually dreamed of outflanking and ambushing our army." xxx！ ”

Hu Laohu said excitedly: "Unexpected joy, unexpected joy!" This kind of good thing can only happen to a few of us who are blessed. Lao Gao, hurry up and adjust the deployment. This time, we've got a treasure! ”

Gao Yuan grabbed the phone and was about to call the command of Li Chang, the commander of the artillery and the commander of the artillery brigade: "Commander Li?" The little devil has a new move, and big business has come to the door. The main force of the Japanese puppet army went north from Qufu, preparing to outflank the new 1st Brigade and local forces that were attacking in the direction of Jinpu Road. In my judgment, when the attacking troops of the new 1st Brigade approached the Japanese defense line on the Jinpu Road, the Japanese army would start on all fronts. When the time comes, the artillery positions of the little devils will open fire to intercept the retreat of our attacking troops and drive our attacking troops to the Japanese fire positions. Commander Li, Brigadier Li, it's hard to come across such a good business! I ordered that the artillery positions should be moved forward as much as possible, and they must wait for the Japanese artillery to open fire before firing, knock out the artillery positions of the devils, and then shell the Japanese troops who are trying to outflank our troops in a roundabout way, and finally concentrate their firepower to bombard the Japanese defense line on Jinpu Road and destroy it in one fell swoop! ”

Putting down the phone to Li Chang, Gao Yuan turned to Chief of Staff Zhou Yi and said, "Blow the trumpet and order the attacking troops at the front to slow down the pace of attack!" Command to teach the 1st Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade to prepare for the assault! Order the front teams to run forward and prepare to destroy the railway! We've got to give the little devils time to dream! ”

Gao Yuan is the commander of the First Brigade, and Liu Yimin's department undertakes assault tasks in every battle.

Zhou Yi has a lot of ghost ideas, so he suggested to Gao Yuan at that time, since the little devil wants to make a ghost and fight our ambush, why don't we set up a suspicious array? In this way, the troops of the new brigade attack mission were ordered to light torches and guide the direction of attack for the little devils. In this way, the mood of the little devils to flank our army will be even more urgent!

There is a problem with Zhou Yi's suggestion, that is, if it is not done well, the new 1st Brigade will suffer heavy losses in the first round of Japanese artillery bombardment.

Seeing that Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin were silent, Zhou Yi hurriedly explained: "Brigade commander, political commissar, we are planning a suspicious plan, just light some torches and make our army reinforcements rush to Jinpu Road." And it can't be too much, if you hit too many torches, it will scare the little devils! ”

Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin agreed to Zhou Yi's suggestion and asked him to immediately order the troops to carry it out.

Suddenly, the ground in the middle of the night was lit up with dotted torches, all moving towards Jinpu Road.

Defending the area between the magnetic kiln on Jinpu Road and Yanzhou was a brigade of the Japanese garrison on Jinpu Road, as well as the third wing of the garrison army of the 27th division of the Japanese army and a part of the puppet army. With such a force, if it were not attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the defense line could be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. Therefore, Masaan Honma, who did not find that the Eighth Route Army had an artillery group, dared to boldly prepare to rely on the Jinpu Road defense line to lay an ambush circle and wipe out the Eighth Route Army that launched the attack.

At this time, the defenders of the Japanese army on the Jinpu Road had already seen the attack situation of the attack troops of the Eighth Route Army more clearly, and all the troops went to their positions, just like ferocious beasts, staring at the Eighth Route Army that was rushing towards the defense line of Jinpu Road.

Worried that the Eighth Route Army's firepower would be too strong and the offensive would be too fierce to destroy the Jinpu Road defense line, Honma Masana had a long mind and ordered two armored patrol cars in Yanzhou to patrol the Jinpu Road together with the two armored patrol cars dispatched from Tai'an to provide fire support for the garrison, xxx railway.

Bai Dagui joined the Red Army when he was reorganizing the army in the west, and he was born as a hunter and a sharpshooter. When the 8th Division of the Japanese Army was wiped out in the Luzhong Campaign, Bai Dagui, who had just been promoted to deputy company commander, led a platoon to guard the east end of the Daxu River Bridge on the Jiqing Highway and resisted the strong attack of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army, and made great contributions.

After the attack was launched, Bai Dagui led the four companies to rush to the forefront of the whole battalion, and ran towards Jinpu Road like a rabbit with the little devil.

Night is the world of the Eighth Route Army, there is no little devil's plane to make trouble, and the troops can quickly pursue.

The speed of the fighters was fast enough, Bai Dagui was still too slow, and kept urging to hurry, hurry, and hurry.

Before the war, a military democratic meeting had been held, and the intention of the superiors was clearly conveyed, that is, the new 1st Brigade was responsible for attacking the forward strongholds of the Japanese puppet army, clearing the assault channel for the 1st Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade, and finally cooperating with the 1st Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade to attack the Japanese Jinpu Road defense line under the cover of artillery fire. But now the situation has changed, *** little devil coaxed, and actually abandoned the forward stronghold and retreated in the direction of Jinpu Road, if Bai Dagui didn't seize the fighter to pursue the little devil, then he would not be the company commander of the main regiment and main battalion of the new 1st Brigade.

The new 1st Brigade originated from the 1st Brigade of Teaching, and the troops have been training tightly, and they have been fighting with the 1st Brigade of Teaching, and now it has become a veritable main brigade. The fighters' tactical movements and technical combat skills are at a considerable level. Although it was a pursuit operation, the formation of each infantry squad was not chaotic, and it always maintained a triangular attack posture.

Bai Dagui was running, and when he heard the sound of "sun" in his ears, he immediately knew that it was the Japanese grenadier that was firing.

Bai Dagui shouted "lie down", threw himself forward, fell to the ground, quickly shot out, and observed ahead.

With this observation, Bai Dagui realized that his fourth company was about to approach Jinpu Road, and there was a squad of devils in front of him. This group of little devils may have retreated first, and they are relying on a trench to open fire, covering the retreat of the little devils who are being pursued by themselves.

Bai Dagui immediately waved his hand back and ordered the fire support platoon to establish a position and suppress the Japanese fire. Order the riflemen to shoot accurately and eliminate the imps who are in their way.

After giving the order, Bai Dagui quickly took out his gun, and with one shot, he dumbed down the machine gun that was spewing tongues of fire.

As Bai Dagui's fourth company exchanged fire with this devil squad, the troops who caught up with it also entered the battle.

The Eighth Route Army and the little devils of the Jinpu Road defense line exchanged fire!

At this time, Gao Yuan, commander of the Western Group of the Eighth Route Army and commander of the 1st Brigade, ordered Zhou Yi, chief of staff: "Blow the trumpet and order the attacking units of the New 1st Brigade to stop attacking, quickly retreat, and guard against Japanese artillery bombardment." ”

This was just the beginning of the fight, and before the Japanese troops on the Jinpu Road defense line had time to exert their firepower and kill and wound a large number of Eighth Route Army, the clarion call for the retreat of the Eighth Route Army had already sounded, and the troops began to take cover alternately and quickly retreated.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was about to withdraw and the ducks were about to fly, the little devil panicked, and the artillery of the 27th Mountain Artillery Wing opened fire and began to intercept the retreating Eighth Route Army. The main force of the Japanese puppet army from the north of Qufu could no longer care about the covert advance, and began to make a rapid detour, and the forward had already exchanged fire with the flank troops of the new 1st Brigade. Honma Masana even ordered the 27th Division's convoys, armored vehicles, and automobiles to turn on their headlights and quickly pass through the Sihe Bridge to carry out a roundabout mission to the north.

At this time, Li Chang, who was already rubbing his hands in a hurry, finally waited for the order to open fire. I only heard the words in his mouth: "Little devil, don't blame you Li Ye for having black hands, you shouldn't have been born in this world." If God doesn't open his eyes, why did he give birth to you devils? Leaving you is a scourge, or let Li Ye send you to hell! ”

After the chatter, Li Chang said again, "Division Commander, Division Commander, I love you", and then he jumped up and shouted: "Open the cannon!" Fire! Fire! ”

With Li Chang's roar, the 1st Field Artillery Regiment, the 1st Artillery Regiment of the Jiao 1st Brigade, the Artillery Regiment of the Cavalry Brigade, and the Heavy Artillery Battalion of the Artillery Brigade roared, and the earth was shaken.

Bai Dagui and the others didn't retreat far, and they encountered the artillery interception of the little devils, so they had to lie down on the spot and hide to avoid the Japanese shelling. At this moment, Bai Dagui felt the ground tremble under his body, and then there was a roar of artillery fire in his ears. Bai Dagui knew that it must have been the artillery group commanded by Brigadier Li Chang that cooperated with the Western Group to open fire. Needless to say, the artillery positions of the little devils have become targets again, and they will soon be dumbfired.

Bai Dagui is indeed experienced in a hundred battles, and his judgment is very accurate.

Honma Masaka thought that the Eighth Route Army launched a night attack because it had learned the information that the Japanese army was about to attack and had to preemptively disrupt the rhythm of the Japanese attack, and just thinking that the attacking Eighth Route Army did not have an artillery group, he did not think that this might not be a hasty attack by the Eighth Route Army, but a prepared and planned campaign action. To say that he is Ma Jian in the Japanese army is not a loss to him at all!

Artillery rumbled, and strings and groups of shells flew through the night sky of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and smashed into the Japanese artillery positions. The little devil was stunned!

Dear book friends: the mountain people went to Baiyun Mountain in Song County. It is indeed a good place, but unfortunately it is a bit chilly. I already had a cold, but now it's even worse. I'm dizzy, it's better to go back quickly! Thank you! RO！。
