Chapter 532: Triple Wave (1)

The one who attacked Ershilipu Airport was the brigade of the 105th Regiment of the 104th Brigade stationed in Changle.

Major General Tomomidi Fourth Floor, commander of the 104th Brigade of the Japanese Army, received the order to launch the Jiaoji Road mopping up operation a few days ago. He had the same idea as Lieutenant General Shimomoto Xiongmi, commander of the 108th Division, and was also afraid of Shandong

After the war eased, the 108th Division returned to Japan for rest and recuperation. This rest and recuperation would inevitably demobilize the 30-year-old veterans under him. It is likely that the 108th Division would be followed soon after.

The division designation has been revoked. In that case, it is difficult to say where he will go. He may become the commander of some fortress, or he may become a reserve officer of the Eighth Division staying behind in Hirosaki. But no matter which way out he wants,

Yes, where is the best place to come to the Chinese battlefield? Especially the 108th Division, which has been stationed in Jinan and Shandong for a long time and occupies the best place in Shandong.

He wanted power, money, and women. Not to mention anything else, just the flattery and flattery of the traitors who surrounded him made him feel happy. The fourth-floor major general of Tamami was giving a speech to a classmate of the University of China.

The letter said: "If you don't go to China, you won't know what treasures are everywhere. If you don't go to China, you won't know what a man's paradise is."

If you go to a certain fortress and sit on the bench, you won't be able to enjoy these things. Therefore, when the fourth-floor major general of Tamami and the division commander, Lieutenant General Shimomoto Xiongmi, communicated privately, they said: "The situation of launching the Jiaoji Road mopping-up operation is now

If we must do it, we will not only be able to wipe out the Tuba Road from Jiaodong to the Xiaoqing River Basin in one fell swoop, we will also be able to add glory to the 108th Division and win the trust of His Majesty the Emperor."

It was originally planned well. On the morning of November 8, Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo, commander of the Twelfth Army, came to Weixian to inspect the troops, and then Major General Tomomichi No. 4 commanded the 104th Brigade to start the attack and be responsible for the middle attack. Unexpectedly, in November

Something unexpected happened on the night of the 7th

Suddenly, the Eighth Route Army actually took the initiative to launch an attack. Moreover, the area south of Jiaoji Road, garrisoned by the 105th Regiment of the 104th Division, became the focus of the Eighth Route Army's attack. Several county towns were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army as if they were made of paper.

, it was lost inexplicably.

The fourth-floor Major General of Tammidi was puzzled. Why did the Eighth Route Army mobilize so many troops and suddenly launch an attack on such a long front without any warning in advance? It is understandable in other places. After all, it is close to a mountainous area and the imperial army occupied it for a short time.

, is not stable, but Gaomi is a place that the imperial army painstakingly supports,

Not only is a squadron of the 105th Regiment stationed, but also a squadron of the Jiaoji Road Guards is stationed, and the new county magistrate Wan Chanmin not only established a guard team, but also three joint defense and self-defense groups throughout the county. These guys are all

There was no news at all about what we were going to do for food. Could it be that Tuba Road was all the work of gophers?

The only thing that gratified the fourth-floor major general of Tommidi was that the Anqiu garrison was still in the hands of the imperial army, and Kondo's brigade was likely to achieve a great victory in pursuing the remaining local militia of the Kuomintang Li Wenli. As a result, this little gratification was also revealed by the intelligence of the Jinan secret service.

It was shattered. According to the secret telegram from the Twelfth Army Headquarters forwarded by the Division Headquarters, Kondo's brigade had been completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army near Zhoujia Village on the Linghe River.

At this time, the major general on the fourth floor of Tommidi woke up, and Anqiu County was probably in danger. He hurriedly called the captain of the 105th Regiment, Colonel Kudo Jintaka, to inquire about the situation in Anqiu. Needless to say, the Eighth Route Army actually launched a sneak attack.

Anqiu County.

After reporting the situation to the division headquarters, the fourth-floor major general of Tomamidi personally called the commander of the 105th Regiment, Colonel Kudo Jintaka, and strictly ordered him to quickly gather the troops, stick to the square, and ensure the safety of Weicheng.

That night, the major general on the fourth floor of Tammidi spent the night in agony.

Of course, Major General Tamedi Fourth Floor did not know that his division commander not only suffered greatly that night, but also became a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army.

In the midst of pain and suffering, Major General Tomidi Fourth Floor received an order from the division commander, Lieutenant General Shimomoto Xiongmi, asking him to immediately assemble his troops and prepare to move closer to Weicheng.

The Japanese army's military orders are very strict, and the consequences of disobeying military orders are also very terrible. Major General Tomomichi No. 4 does not have the broad shoulders of Seishiro Itagaki and Kenji Doihara. He cannot bear the responsibility of disobeying military orders. Naturally, he will act upon orders. Add

According to the original plan, tomorrow morning the tenth

Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo, the commander of the Second Army, was coming to Weicheng to inspect and supervise the war. Major General Tamamidi wanted to show off in front of him and wanted to drive his troops to the airport to greet the commander. Therefore, he was cautious and hoped that

After your Excellency the Commander arrives in Weicheng, he can first inspect

His 104th Brigade. Therefore, Liu Yimin, who was disguised as Xia Yuan Xiong Mi, ordered him to shrink his troops last night and prepare to move closer to Weicheng. However, he was eager to go further and directly commanded the troops overnight.

action to move closer to Weicheng. Among them, the former stationed in Chang

A brigade of Le's 105th Regiment moved to defend Daweihe Station. He himself led the brigade headquarters and the commander of the 52nd Regiment, Colonel Nakamura Kiyozo, moved from Yidu to defend Changle County. Only Yidu County remained.

A garrison brigade headquarters of the Jiaoji Road garrison and a regiment of the pseudo-Shandong Provincial garrison.

The pain was still going on. After a hard night's work, the fourth-floor Major General of Tamamichi finally completed the troop assembly. Not to mention resting, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast when he received a call from Lieutenant General Shimomoto Xiongya and the commander of the 108th Division.

Chief of Staff of the Twelfth Army Asaburo Kobayashi

The telegram from the general stated that Commander Otaka Kamezo was attacked at Ershilipu Airport and fell into the hands of Tubal Road. He ordered him to immediately lead the 104th Brigade to use all means of transportation and rush to Ershili as quickly as possible.

Fort Airport Rescue, we must rescue the Commander.

In particular, the telegram from Lieutenant General Shimomoto Kumaya was very harsh, saying that if Commander Odaka Kamezo cannot be rescued, all the generals above the rank of aide-de-camp in the 108th Division will have their stomachs opened to express their guilt and be washed with blood to His Majesty the Emperor.

The humiliation brought by the Japanese Army.

The fourth-floor Major General of Tommidi couldn't figure it out. His 105th Regiment Headquarters was obviously stationed in Fangzi, and the Ershilibao Airport happened to be next to Fangzi. How could Tubal Road suddenly appear at the airport and capture the Commander?

How did they know that Commander Ogao Guizang was coming to Wei County and had a special opportunity to land at Ershilibao Airport? Could it be that there were spies from Tubal Road in the Twelfth Army Headquarters or the 108th Division Regiment Headquarters?

The cunning and cunning Tomomichi on the fourth floor immediately called Colonel Kudo Jintaka of the 105th Regiment, but the call was blocked. This is also reasonable. The cunning Tubalu hijacked the commander. In order to escape, they would also try to destroy the phone line.

This could not be troubled by Major General Tomomichi on the fourth floor. He immediately sent a telegram and ordered Colonel Kudo Jintaka of the 105th Regiment to concentrate his forces to capture Shirenbao Airport and must rescue Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo.

After sending the telegram, Major General Tomomichi No. 4 no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the troops to dispatch to attack the Ershilipu Airport and reinforce Colonel Kudo Jintaka.

The reason why Major General Tomamichi was so decisive was because the division headquarters and the Chief of Staff of the Twelfth Army, Kobayashi Asaburo, pressed too hastily. Major General Kobayashi Asaburo stopped talking and sent a telegram in almost 10 minutes. Shimomoto Kumiya

They were also impatient, sending out telegrams every half hour, reporting on the enemy's situation, and asking about the progress. Even if the fourth-floor Major General of Tammidi wanted to postpone the action, it would be impossible.

Besides, the major general on the fourth floor of Tomidi is not a fool, and he knows what it means to be unable to rescue Commander Wei Gao Guizang. Therefore, after ordering the troops to take action, he ordered the brigade of the Jiaoji Road garrison to command the regiment of the pseudo-Shandong garrison.

Responsible for Yidu County, Changle County and from Yidu to Weicheng

During the Jiaoji Road garrison duty, he led the 52nd Regiment to the direction of Daweihe Station. At the same time, he ordered the 105th Regiment stationed at Daweihe Station to quickly advance to Shirenbao Airport for reinforcements.

The 105th Regiment garrisoned in Fangzi attacked the Ershilipu Airport.

It was not far from Changle to Daxuhe Station, only more than 30 miles away. Major General Tamidi Fourth Floor led an infantry brigade and arrived in less than an hour by motorcycles, armored vehicles, and cars. However, due to insufficient cars, the 52nd

The remaining two brigades of the regiment basically rode on the 260 rubber-tired carts and requisitioned mules and horses assigned to the regiment. The speed was a little slower and they had not yet arrived.

At Daweihe Station, Major General Tomidi on the fourth floor sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Xia Yuan Xiongmi, reporting his position. At the same time, he reported that the brigade of the 105th Regiment stationed at Daweihe Station had set off to attack the second

Shilibao Station.

This Major General on the Fourth Floor of Tamami is not as arrogant as ordinary Japanese generals. His troops basically had no contact with the Eighth Route Army instructors before the heavy Japanese army pressed on Shandong. However, he was stationed in Jinan for a long time and eliminated the main force of the Eighth Route Army instructors.

The Fourth Brigade, the 21st Division and later the main force of the Eighth Route Army entered

We are very clear about the series of battles after the Army Shandong. We know that although the combat effectiveness of our 104th Brigade is not weak, it is far behind compared with the 8th Division and the 10th Division. Such an elite permanent division

The entire regiment was eaten to the bone by the Eighth Route Army. If they concentrated their main force and aimed at us, the problem would be serious.

Major General Tommidi on the fourth floor sent another telegram to Kudo Jintaka at Daweihe Station, asking if there was any trace of the Tuba Road sneak attack on His Excellency the Commander.

Kudo Jintaka reported that it has been basically found out that the Tubal Road that attacked the Commander came out of the mountains and was part of the Tubal Road that launched the attack south of Jiaoji Road last night. In the morning, the Imperial Army aircraft group had bombed twenty miles away.

Fort Airport, but the strange thing is Tubal Alley

He sent a lot of birds and balloons to fight against the fighter planes, causing all the Imperial Army fighter planes to crash. Now, his 105th Regiment only has the brigade commanded by the Returned Brigade Commander. He only has one squadron of troops around him, and he still has to shed blood.

The troops defending Fangzi chased the twenty-mile fort machine

The field cannot be attacked at all. Both the division commander and the chief of staff were injured in a car accident, and are now sitting on stretchers with their injuries to direct the operation. The division's direct-affiliated troops are mainly cavalry brigade and tank squadron, and some engineering troops and a field unit have been mobilized

Artillery Battalion, attack south of Fangzi in a roundabout way

, the purpose is to cut off the Tubal Road's return to the mountainous area and ensure the success of the rescue operation of the Commander. Other troops must also be responsible for the defense of Weicheng, protect the division's supplies and hospitals, and cannot participate in the attack. Please act quickly, Brigade Commander.

Please provide tactical guidance quickly.

After reading the telegram, the fourth-floor Major General of Tomamichi thought for a while and felt that Lieutenant General Shimomoto Kumaya was right to take a detour to the south. It would be troublesome if Tubalu was allowed to escape back to the mountainous area. He also considered the Kudo Town Koichi 05th Regiment.

Looking at the defense situation and the battle damage last night, I knew that Colonel Kudo Jintaka was telling the truth, so I gave up my worries.

Listening to the faint sound of gunfire coming from the south of Ershilipu Airport in the distance, the major general on the fourth floor of Tammidi couldn't wait any longer. He took out the map and measured it, and he calculated in his mind that it was about 20 kilometers away from Ershilipu Airport.

For more than 30 miles, the brigade of the 105th Regiment basically walked. According to time calculation, they should still be about 15 miles away from Ershilipu Airport. If my convoy sets off immediately, it will arrive in an hour.

You can join them and launch an attack on the airport.

Major General Tommidi on the fourth floor ordered the signal corps to ride a motorcycle to convey the order to Colonel Nakamura Kiyozo, the captain of the 52nd regiment who was accompanying the main force of the regiment, and ordered him to speed up the progress. After arriving at Daxuhe Station, he headed towards Ershilibao Airport in the direction of the convoy.

Departure. After arriving at Ershilipu Airport, the convoy will return to the original route to meet the follow-up troops.

After the signal corps left, Major General Tammidi on the fourth floor pulled out his command knife, pointed in the direction of Ershilibao Airport, and ordered to set off. Soon, four tanks and ten armored vehicles of the tank squadron commanded by the 104th Brigade roared.

They set off, behind them was a long line of cars pulling a large group of infantry.

After Zhou Yi led the guard battalion to complete the performance of the birds fighting against the Japanese planes, the first brigade dispatched a large force to quickly clean up the battlefield, clean up all the wreckage of the Japanese planes, move away all the useful ones, and leave the useless ones at Xiangai Airport, and then leave

Ershilibao Airport was evacuated. The airport defense was handed over to the new regiment.

Due to the occupation of the 108th Division Headquarters and the 105th Regiment Headquarters, all the secrets of the Japanese army became public information. How many troops were reinforced by the 104th Brigade on the fourth floor of Tomidi?

The position and direction of attack were all clearly known to the first brigade.

Sun Manxi, the leader of the new regiment, was injured in the last battle in Luzhong and has now returned to the army after recovering from his injuries.

Political Commissar of the New Regiment Wang Xinru was a native of Shanghang, Fujian. He was originally the branch secretary of the Machine Gun Company of the 100th Regiment of the 34th Division of the 12th Red Army. He was later incorporated into the First Independent Regiment of the Red Army. Historically, he died with the army on the Long March while crossing the Wujiang River.

During the battle, due to the arrival of Liu Yimin, Wang Xinru did not sacrifice as in history. After the Zunyi Conference, he was sent to the Central Guard Division as a key cadre of the battalion company. Now he has grown into the political commissar of the New Regiment of the First Teaching Brigade.

If there are no planes at Ershilipu Airport, it is just a large playground, which is flat and can be seen from the east to the west at a glance.

There are more than 3,000 people in the new regiment guarding the airport. They do not want to put all the troops in the airport. No matter how stupid you are, you will not do this. It will become a target of the Japs' artillery fire.

Sun Manxi and Wang Xinru were both old Red Army cadres, so naturally they would not do this. They separated the main force of the regiment, deployed the supplementary battalion in Shaojiazhuang, north of Shirenbao Airport, and deployed the third battalion in the Second Battalion south of Shirenbao Airport.

Shilibao Village. As for the machine
