The 27th Division of the Japanese army was already highly concentrated at this time and plans to launch an attack on Fei County along Zilin Highway tomorrow morning.

Lieutenant General Honma Masako, the commander of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, judged that the Eighth Route Army was to remove the frontier strongholds between the Japanese Sushui River and the Chaiwen River and extend to the southern mountainous areas of Shandong. He was not surprised and happy, because at this time, in addition to the 27th Division, the Japanese Guards 2nd Division was concentrated in the Zou County area, and the Japanese 12th Division was concentrated in the Teng County area, preparing to launch an attack on Fei County at 7 a.m. tomorrow to capture Fei County at one fell swoop. Honma Masako was not afraid of having goods at the waist, and knew that if he encountered an attack, he could get reinforcements from the Second Guards 2nd Division, the 12th Division and the Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Tai'an. He also had a group of North China Public Security Army, with a huge force, and was not afraid of the Eighth Route Army's tricks. [..com]

Masahoshi Honma issued a very stupid order, which was to order the Japanese army attacked by the Eighth Route Army to abandon their strongholds, fight and retreat, and move closer to the main Japanese army attack on the railway. He ordered the main force of the 27th Division to mobilize urgently and prepare for battle.

Honma Masae was to lead the Eighth Route Army, which launched a night attack, into his ambush circle and encircle and annihilate it.

The 27th Division had been hit hard by the Eighth Route Army several times. The first time was the Eighth Route Army's instructor attacked Tianjin. At that time, a corps of the Infantry Brigade of the North China Garage Army, the predecessor of the 27th Division, was stationed in Tianjin. All the Eighth Route Army who had succeeded in the sneak attack were cut into headless ghosts. The last time was during the last battle in southern Shandong, when the Eighth Route Army caught up with the rear guards led by the commander of the 27th Division's infantry regiment, and wiped them out. The main force of the 27th Division was retracted back to Jinan and held on the spot. Later, it participated in the Japanese heavy army group's sweep of the Shandong base. Now it was stationed in southern Shandong, Yanzhou, Jining, Qufu and other places, and completed rest and replenishment and restored its combat effectiveness.

If it were an ordinary Chinese XXX team, three brigades would probably not be able to escape after entering the ambush circle of the 27th Division. At least they would have to be injured and suffer heavy losses. However, Masato Honma did not know that his opponents were the First Cult Brigade, Cavalry Brigade and Shin-I Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and were equipped with a powerful artillery group. If they knew, Masato Honma would not be so arrogant.

The main force of the 27th Division, which was raided by Fei County near Zilin Highway near Qufu, and the puppet North China Public Security Army, under the strict order of Honma Masako, took advantage of the night to go to the Si River, smuggle across the Si River, and detoured to attack the Eighth Route Army on the Jinpu Road.

The 27th Mountain Artillery Regiment, which was affiliated with the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, also received an emergency order to drive the artillery carts north, rely on the Jinpu Road defense line to establish a position, and prepare to launch artillery fire strikes against the attacking Eighth Route Army.

Just as Masayoshi was arranged, an alarm was heard north of the magnetic kiln. The Eighth Route Army launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops around Tai'an in two directions.

For a moment, Masahoshi Honma was confused. He couldn't figure out what the Eighth Route Army was going to do. Is it going to re-enact the Battle of Southern Shandong?

However, one thing Honma Masako figured out was that the Eighth Route Army that launched the attack did not have large-scale artillery groups, nor did it have tanks, armored vehicles, and cars. Therefore, Honma Masako judged that the Eighth Route Army that launched the attack was definitely not the main force of Liu Yimin, which had powerful artillery groups, tanks, armored vehicles, and cars, but the Eighth Route Army that had been fighting with the Imperial Army in central and southern Shandong. It must have been the leak of the Imperial Army's intelligence, and the Eighth Route Army that was guarding face to launch an attack, with the purpose of disrupting the deployment of the Imperial Army's operations tomorrow and delaying the launch of the Imperial Army's assault operations, so as to reserve time for their bases to prepare for anti-sweeping.

When he thought of this, Honma Masa was so angry that he scolded the intelligence personnel for negligence. The Eighth Route Army could not get the accurate information, but the Imperial Army had leaked such a confidential information, which was extremely baga!

Honma Masayo thought he had determined the enemy situation and became more and more bold, and he was eagerly looking forward to the Eighth Route Army entering his ambush circle.

Things were really like Lieutenant General Masayoshi thought. As soon as the Japanese in the frontier stronghold was attacked retreated, the Eighth Route Army chased and rushed towards the ambush positions of the Japanese army on the Jinpu Road.

After receiving a report from the frontline positions, Lieutenant General Masako was overjoyed and ordered all troops to withstand their urges and not to open fire in advance, so as not to escape the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.

The one who was responsible for attacking the Japanese frontier strongholds between the Chaiwen River and the Si River was the troops of the Eighth Route Army's New First Brigade and local armed forces in this area.

At this time, the defenders of the frontiers where the Japanese army was attacked had received orders, and successively gave up their positions and retreated to the Jinpu Road defense line. The troops of the New First Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the armed forces in the battle were chasing each other. At night, there were gunfires, grenade explosions, infantry artillery and grenade launchers, and shouts of killing.

According to the military combat plan, the Xinyi Brigade used the night to clear the Japanese frontier strongholds between the Chaiwen River and the Si River, opened the assault channel between the First Brigade, the cavalry brigade and the artillery group. The entire Western Group rushed to the Jinpu Road, eliminated or defeated the Japanese defenders between the Jinpu Road Ciyao and Yanzhou, and completely destroyed the railway. To achieve this goal, the attack mission will be completed.

The military region's combat plan also requires the use of the New Brigade's offensive operations against the Japanese frontier strongholds to attract the main force of the 27th Division of the Japanese army, and the armored assault of the artillery group and the first brigade. The cavalry brigade's cavalry assault eliminated the main force or part of the 27th Division. Considering that the Japanese army has become extremely alert after repeated attacks by us, it is difficult to get it to bait. Under normal circumstances, when the Japanese army encounters attacks from our army, they either defend their positions to the death, shrink their defense lines, or even retreat to various counties to defend.

The main force of our army is also a raid, with the purpose of disrupting the deployment of the Japanese army. It is impossible to conquer the city overnight! Once our army is under a strong city, it will be bombed by Japanese aircraft groups after dawn, and Méng will suffer losses. Therefore, the military region's combat plan lists the attack on the Jinpu Road as a battle target, and sets the area between the Chaiwen River and the Si River as an attack point. There is no hard regulation on the elimination of the main force of the Japanese 27th Division near the Zilin Highway in Qufu area.

The terrain between the Chaiwen River and the Si River is convenient for our main force to hide the enemy, and also facilitate our army to retreat and rely on the Si River to block reinforcements from the main force of the Japanese army south of Qufu in the mountains, which can ensure that our army will retreat unstoppably after reaching the battle goals. As long as the Japanese army dares to pursue and teach the combat effectiveness of the First Brigade, Cavalry Brigade, and New Brigade, they can fully ambush or counterattack the Japanese army. I am afraid that the Japanese army will not dare to pursue!

When Liu Yimin made this plan, he repeatedly pondered the character and combat characteristics of the commander of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, Masako Honma, and felt that this old playboy had no courage to pursue our army or counterattack our army. He was likely to be attacked and huddled in the Qufu area and remained still, relying on a solid position to defend and wait for dawn.

What Liu Yimin didn't expect was that Honma Masayo was stationed in the southern Shandong plain area during this period, and there was no main force of the Eighth Route Army in this area. Honma Masayo was almost invincible, and his courage became bigger. He also wanted to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor!

Honma Masae wants to send his soldiers to the guns of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army is embarrassed not to accept them. What are the Japanese? How many more are they killed, so as not to keep harming others.

It is not the style of the Japanese army that it voluntarily gave up its position and fled after being attacked at night!

The Plateau, who was in charge of command of the Western Group, immediately realized that the Japanese army was engaged in yin plots, and obviously wanted to lead our attacking troops to the Jinpu Road defense line. It seemed that the Japanese army had a big appetite and wanted to tell us that our army was stuck on the Jinpu Road defense line and was preparing to ambush our army.

The report of the investigators confirmed the judgment of the plateau. The main force of the Japanese army stationed in Qufu is crossing the Sihe Bridge and is circumventing our attack troops.

Gao Yuan smiled proudly, his eyes were so bright that he said to Cheng Cuilin, Hu Laohu, and Zhou Yi beside him: "The Japanese commander's head was kicked by the donkey, and he actually started to dream of surrounding and ambushing our army.xxx!"

Hu Laohu said excitedly: "An unexpected joy, an unexpected joy! Only a few of us who are blessed can meet such good things. Lao Gao, please adjust the deployment quickly. This time, we found the treasure!"

The plateau grabbed the phone and was about to call the commander of the artillery commander and artillery brigade commander Li Chang's commander: "Commander Li? The Japanese have made new moves and big business has arrived. The main force of the Japanese and puppet army went north from Qufu, preparing to detour around me to attack the new brigade and local armed forces in the direction of the Jinpu Road. I judged that when the attacking troops of the new brigade approached the Japanese Jinpu Road defense line, the Japanese army would start all the way. At that time, the Japanese artillery positions would be

I can fire artillery, intercept my attacking troops to retreat, and drive my attacking troops to the firepower positions of the Japanese army. Commander Li, Brigade Commander Li, it is difficult to encounter such a good business! I ordered that the artillery positions should be moved forward as much as possible, and must wait for the Japanese artillery fire to fire before firing, and then fire the Japanese artillery positions, and then shell the Japanese army that attempted to detour our army. Finally, concentrate firepower to shell the Japanese army's Jinpu Line defense line and destroy it in one fell swoop!"

Putting down the phone call to Li Chang, Gao Yuan turned to Chief of Staff Zhou Yi and said, "Blow the trumpet and order the front-line attack troops to slow down the attack rhythm! Order the first brigade and the cavalry brigade are ready for assault! Order the front teams to run and advance and prepare for the railway! We must leave a dream time for the Japanese!"

Plateau is the brigade commander of the First Brigade. Liu Yimin's army undertakes assault tasks in every battle. When the war is old, he is determined and decisive, and every order issued is short and clear.

Zhou Yi had many ideas, so he suggested to Gaoyuan that since the Japanese wanted to do something and attack our ambush, why not set up a suspicious formation? In this way, order the troops of the New Brigade's attack mission to set up a torch to guide the attack direction for the Japanese. In this way, the Japanese will be more urgent to attack our army!

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

When he saw the plateau, Cheng Cuilin was silent. Zhou Yi hurriedly explained: "Brig Commander and Political Commissar, we are planning to suspect military plans. Just set up some torches to make our reinforcements rush towards Jinpu Road. And there should not be too many. If the torches are too many, it will scare the Japanese!"

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

In an instant, torches lit up on the earth in the night, all moving towards the Jinpu Road.

The defense between the Jinpu Road Ciyao and Yanzhou was a brigade of the Japanese Jinpu Road garrison, as well as the third garrison of the Japanese 27th Division and a part of the puppet army. If such forces were not encountered assaults by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the defense line could be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. Therefore, Masako Honma, who did not find that the Eighth Route Army had a group of artillery groups, dared to boldly prepare to set up an ambush circle based on the Jinpu Road defense line and capture the Eighth Route Army that launched the attack.

At this time, the Japanese defenders on Jinpu Road had already seen the attack posture of the Eighth Route Army attacking troops more clearly. All the troops were on the positions, like fierce beasts, staring at the Eighth Route Army that was rushing towards the Jinpu Road defense line.

Because he was worried that the Eighth Route Army would have too strong firepower and the offensive was too fierce, destroying the Jinpu Road defense line, Masako Honma became very careful and ordered two armored patrol vehicles in Yanzhou to patrol the Jinpu Road with two armored patrol vehicles dispatched in Tai'an to provide fire support to the garrison troops, the xxx Railway.

Bai Dagui joined the Red Army when he was reorganizing the army in the west. He was a hunter and a sharpshooter. When he wiped out the 8th Division of the Japanese Army in the Central Shandong Campaign, Bai Dagui, who had just been promoted to deputy company commander, led a row to guard the eastern end of the Daxu River Bridge on the Jiqing Highway to resist the strong attack of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army and made great contributions. Now he has made great contributions to the company commander of the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the New First Regiment of the New First Brigade.

After the attack was launched, Bai Dagui led the fourth company to rush to the front of the entire battalion, chasing the Japanese to the Jinpu Road like a rabbit.

At night, the Eighth Route Army was the world. Without Japanese Apocalypse planes to make trouble, the troops could pursue them quickly.

The soldiers were already fast enough. Bai Dagui still felt it was slow and kept urging him to hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.

A military democratic meeting was held before the war, and the intentions of the superiors were clearly conveyed, that is, the New First Brigade was responsible for attacking the frontier strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops. In order to teach the First Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade cleared the assault passage, and finally cooperated with the First Brigade to teach the First Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade assaulted the Japanese Jinpu Road defense line. But now the situation has changed. The Japanese devils were timid and actually gave up the frontier stronghold and retreated towards the Jinpu Road. If Bai Dagui did not seize the fighter plane to pursue the Japanese devils, he would not be the main regiment of the New First Brigade and the company commander of the main battalion.

The New First Brigade originated from the First Brigade. The troops were trained tightly and they had been fighting with the First Brigade. Now they have become the real main brigade. The soldiers' tactical movements and technical combat levels are of considerable level. Although they are chasing operations, the formation of each infantry squad is not chaotic and has always maintained a triangular attack.

As Bai Dagui ran, he heard the sound of "Sun" coming from his ears, and he immediately knew that it was the Japanese grenade launcher being launched.

Bai Dagui shouted "Lying down", rushed forward, lying on the ground, quickly shot out his gun, and observed forward.

After this observation, Bai Dagui found that his fourth company was about to approach Jinpu Road. There was about a small team of Japanese soldiers blocking him in front of him. The Japanese soldiers might have taken a step forward and were firing based on a trench to protect the Japanese soldiers who were chasing him to retreat.

Bai Dagui immediately waved his hand back and ordered the fire support platoon to establish a position to suppress the Japanese firepower. He ordered the riflesmen to shoot accurately and eliminate the attacking Japanese devils.

After giving the order, Bai Dagui quickly fired the gun, and with one shot, he silenced the machine gun that was spitting out the flames.

As Bai Dagui's fourth company exchanged fire with the Japanese squad, the troops that caught up were also engaged in the battle.

The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese on the Jinpu Road Defense Line exchanged fire!

At this moment, the commander of the Eighth Route Army West Group, the commander of the 1st Brigade, Gao Yuan, ordered the Chief of Staff Zhou Yi: "Blow the trumpet and order the attacking troops of the New First Brigade to stop attacking, retreat quickly, and guard against Japanese artillery attacks."

Just now the fight began. Before the Japanese troops on the Jinpu Road defense line had time to carry out their firepower, they killed and injured the Eighth Route Army in large numbers. The sound of the Eighth Route Army retreating had already sounded, and the troops began to alternate covers and retreated quickly.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was about to retreat, the ducks that were about to fly, the Japanese were panicked. The artillery of the 27th Mountain Artillery Regiment fired and began to intercept the retreating Eighth Route Army. The main force of the Japanese and puppet troops heading north from Qufu no longer cared about advancing in seclusion and began to detour quickly. The vanguard had already exchanged fire with the flanking troops of the New First Brigade. Honma Masako even ordered the 27th Division's battle convoy, armored vehicles, and cars to turn on their car lights, quickly pass through the Sihe Bridge, and carry out the northbound roundabout mission.

At this time, Li Chang, who had already been rubbing his hands in a hurry, finally waited for the firing order. He just muttered: "Damn, don't blame you Mr. Li for being in a bad way. You shouldn't have been born into this world. God doesn't open his eyes, why did you give birth to you, the devil? Is it a disaster to leave you? Or should you let Mr. Li take you to hell!"

After nagging, Li Chang said again, "Teacher, I love you." Then he jumped high and shouted loudly: "Fire the cannon! Fire the cannon! Fire the cannon!"

With Li Chang's roar, the first field artillery regiment, the first brigade artillery regiment, the cavalry brigade artillery regiment and the heavy artillery battalion of the artillery brigade roared, and the earth was shocked.

Bai Dagui and his friends could not retreat much, but encountered the Japanese artillery fire intercepting, so they had to lie down on the spot to hide and avoid Japanese artillery bombardment. At this moment, Bai Dagui felt the earth under his body tremble, and then the roar of the cannon group firing in his ears. Bai Dagui knew that it must be the artillery group commanded by Brigade Commander Li Chang to cooperate with the Western Group to fire. Needless to say, the Japanese artillery position became a target again and would soon be silenced.

Bai Dagui is indeed experienced and has made very accurate judgments.

Honma Masae-Kiga thought that the Eighth Route Army launched a night attack because it learned the information about the Japanese army's upcoming assault operations and had to take the initiative to disrupt the rhythm of the Japanese army's attack. Just thinking that the Eighth Route Army had no artillery group, he did not expect that this might not be an attack launched by the Eighth Route Army, but a prepared and planned battle action. It would be no loss to say that he was Ma Su in the Japanese army!

The sound of cannons rumbled, and groups of shells flew across the night sky on New Year's Eve and smashed into the Japanese artillery positions. The Japanese were shocked!
