The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 1036 Go home and take a look
But now facing the terrifying Gao Jiu, Gangcun feels a deep sense of powerlessness.Although deep down in his heart he thought Hamada Yoshizhi's opinion was an expression of shirking responsibility, but now he really had no choice. Although he felt very humiliated, he finally adopted Hamada Yoshito's opinion and sent it to Telegram, requesting the Central China Front Army to send troops from Xuzhou to assist Tai'an City.

Doihara is also very depressed now. This time Gao Jiu sent troops to attack Tai'an City, to a large extent, he was in his favor.If he didn't assassinate Gao Jiu, I'm afraid Gao Jiu wouldn't have the energy to launch such a large-scale campaign.

Do Feiyuan also felt powerless. After receiving the telegram from Gangcun, he replied to the telegram, reprimanded them, and asked them to send troops to reinforce Tai'an.

At the same time, he also adopted the suggestion of the commander of Gangcun, and sent a telegram to the Central China Front Army, asking them to send troops to help Tai'an City.

The life of the Central China Front Army is not easy now, and their forces have also begun to shrink to the southeast. Facing the attacks of the Guo Army and the underground party, they have already put on a defensive posture, and they are not willing to launch a big battle at all.

When they heard that they were asked to send troops to reinforce Tai'an City and directly fight against Gao Jiu's Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas, they refused without hesitation.As for the excuses, there are many of them. In short, they are absolutely unwilling to send troops into Shandong to provoke that demon Gao Jiu.

The Japanese army in Tai'an City has been completely isolated and helpless. Whether they can survive depends on whether they can hold Tai'an City.

The troops of the Lunan Military Region suffered heavy casualties in the last Tai'an battle, and the morale of the troops was greatly affected.Later, a large number of recruits were recruited, and finally regained their vitality, but their combat effectiveness could not be improved for a while.

After this stage of fighting, the morale of the officers and soldiers has been greatly restored, and the combat experience has also been improved.The head of the underground party, Gao Hong and others also hope to use this Tai'an battle to train the troops and further enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

At the same time, they want to use this battle to test these security forces that have just joined the Lunan Military Region.Therefore, they decided to storm Tai'an City. Even though the troops would suffer a lot of losses, they would accumulate experience in tackling tough battles and cultivate a large number of combat backbones.They hope that through this actual combat exercise, they will lay the foundation for attacking Jinan City in the future.

The Japanese army had no rest at all, and would face the enemy's violent attack at any time.The officers and soldiers were very exhausted and almost couldn't hold on mentally.

After many blows, most of the city walls of Tai'an City were blown down, and the Japanese defense became more and more difficult.The troops of the Lunan Military Region took the opportunity to launch attacks continuously, and the Japanese defenses were crumbling.

They raised the white flag and asked to send representatives to negotiate with the coalition forces.

Not only that, their ammunition has basically been exhausted, and they have no ability to continue fighting.

Madoka Dohi stepped down, and he was replaced by Yoshihiro Hirota, the former deputy chief of the Japanese army, who was also a representative of a young officer.He has been staring at this position for a long time.

Two days later, the Japanese army was surrounded in a narrow area centered on Tai'an No. 5000 Middle School in the west of the city, and the total number of troops was less than [-].

This time they made up their minds to defend Tai'an City and never let it fall into the hands of the Japanese army again.

This time the Taohuashan guerrillas dispatched a large number of armed helicopters, hovering directly over the Japanese positions.

Seeing that the Japanese army could hardly hold on, those security forces who surrendered their confidence also rose.It has to be said that these security forces trained by the Japanese army still have strong combat effectiveness. Now they are eager to show themselves, so the attacks on the Japanese army are also very violent.

The troops of the Lunan Military Region took the opportunity to rush up. The Japanese army really couldn't withstand such a fierce blow. They were forced to abandon the city defenses and retreat into the city to carry out street fighting with the troops of the Lunan Military Region.

The remaining Japanese officers and soldiers have no fighting spirit now. After discussion, they decided to surrender in order to save the lives of the remaining Japanese soldiers.

After the Battle of Tai'an, Gao Jiu returned to Zhengzhou City.While traveling with Ai Jiabao, he kept an eye on the movement of the Japanese army in Shandong.

In order to cooperate with the troops of the Lunan Military Region, the members of the Taohuashan Guerrilla pushed a large number of artillery to a place only 200 meters away from the city wall. Every time before the troops of the Lunan Military Region launched an attack, they carried out a violent artillery attack. .

With the retreat of the Japanese army, in the future, the troops of the Lunan Military Region will face many tough battles. It is best not to let go of such a good training opportunity.

The Battle of Tai'an also had a great impact on the Japanese army.As the supreme commander of the Japanese army in the Shandong area, General Haneda was accused by his superiors, and he was dismissed and retained for inspection.The commander of the North China Front and Yoshito Hamada were also forced to conduct a written review of their superiors.

The troops of the Lunan Military Region organized dozens of attacks for three days in a row. Although their troops suffered heavy casualties, the casualties of the Japanese army were not small.At noon on the fourth day, under the cover of artillery fire from the Taohuashan guerrillas, the 15 main regiments of the Lunan Military Region launched a general attack on Tai'an City.

Facts have proved that Gao Jiu's suggestion is very effective.The Lunan Military Region has a large number of troops. The officers and soldiers take turns to fight, and they can rest at any time to relieve fatigue and restore combat effectiveness.

After the Tai'an campaign ended, Zhang Quan wanted to go back to his hometown to have a look, so he took his sister, brother-in-law and a squadron of special forces members to fly to LY County by helicopter.

Soon after, the head of the 142nd Division of the Japanese Army led the remaining 5317 Japanese troops to surrender to the coalition forces.

Now the troops of the Lunan Military Region have also been equipped with a large number of rocket launchers and 82mm recoilless guns. These equipment can play a huge advantage in street fighting.

Dohido saw the situation of the entire Japanese army very clearly. He knew that the Japanese army would not last long. He had now admitted from the bottom of his heart that he was definitely not Gao Jiu's opponent, and he did not want to continue fighting.

The first thing Hirota Yoshiichi did when he took office was that he was asked by the headquarters to open up the Jinpu Railway and take Tai'an City.Therefore, Yoshihiro Hirota planned to relaunch the Tai'an campaign to capture Tai'an City.

The head of the underground party, Gao Hong and others thought that Gao Jiu was right, so they divided the troops into three echelons and included the troops from the county brigades.This is to give them the opportunity to participate in the tough battle, to train the troops, increase the troops' experience in tough battles, and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

After two days of street fighting, there were only more than 1 Japanese troops left in the city, and they were compressed into a small area.

The person in charge of the underground party, Gao Hong and others were very excited. This time they gained a lot. They not only trained the troops, but also recaptured Tai'an City.

After Yoshihiro Hirota took office, he was eager to show his talents. The new official took office three fires, and the first fire directly went to Shandong.

It is suggested that the troops participating in the siege of the Japanese army should be divided into several batches, and the method of wheel warfare should be used to continuously attack the Japanese army.

Hamada Yoshito knew Gao Jiu after all, and his analysis was right.In this battle, the Taohuashan guerrillas suffered more than 200 guerrilla casualties. The consumption of ammunition and fuel can be described as astronomical. took a break.

Gao Jiu notified the news to the troops of the Lunan Military Region, asking them to strengthen their combat readiness and be ready to repel the Japanese attack at any time.

When he flew over LY with the air commando, he saw many Japanese and puppet troops in the city. He just circled over the county town, looked down at his ancestral house from the air, and was about to leave.

Due to the Japanese army’s shrinking forces to the east, the Japanese army’s strength in this area is relatively dense. Originally, there was only a Japanese gendarmerie with dozens of people in the county, but now there are not only the Japanese gendarmerie and security force brigade, but also an infantry squadron stationed there. , There is also a battalion of pseudo security forces.

In order to boost the confidence of these puppet troops, Gao Hong also sent some troops, carrying bazookas and 82mm recoilless guns to provide fire support to them.The Taohuashan guerrillas also dispatched some armed helicopters to provide air support for them.Therefore, the direction of attack that the security forces are in charge of has also made great progress.

Seeing that the War of Resistance Against Japan was coming to an end, Gao Jiu didn't want his Taohuashan guerrillas to suffer too many casualties. He didn't plan to send the Taohuashan guerrillas directly to participate in the siege operations, but was responsible for providing the troops of the Lunan Military Region with fire support.

The firepower points of the Japanese army were destroyed one by one, and their defensive circle was also shrinking, and was finally compressed to the central and western regions.

After 12 days of fierce fighting, the Battle of Tai'an finally came to an end.This battle wiped out more than 62000 Japanese troops and more than 50000 puppet troops. It was a brilliant victory and boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians across the country.

The resistance of the Japanese army was very tenacious. The troops of the Lunan Military Region launched several attacks, but they were unsuccessful and lost a lot of troops.But this time they had enough troops and continued to attack the Japanese army.

It was not because he had much confidence in defeating Gao Jiu, the reason why he chose to burn his first job in Shandong was because of the situation.

Due to the relatively concentrated strength of the Japanese army at this time, their resistance became more tenacious.The coalition forces' offensive progressed slowly.

After deliberation, the troops of the Lunan Military Region sent some troops to build a cordon in the direction of Jinan and Xuzhou.Two campaign groups were organized to attack from the east and west sides of Tai'an City.

Seeing that he couldn't fight anymore, he had the idea of ​​surrendering to Gao Jiu.

On the third day after Hirota took office, he flew to the North China Front Army Command.

On this day, he received a telegram from Yoshito Hamada, saying that Yoshihiro Hirota, the new Japanese Army Minister, had come to Beiping and had plans to launch the Tai'an Campaign again in Shandong.He will inform Gao Jiu of the deployment of the Japanese army at any time.

He was exhausted physically and mentally, and he already had the idea of ​​retreating.Therefore, he submitted his resignation letter without making too many excuses for the base camp asking him to resign.Not only that, he directly applied for retirement.

Now on the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese army is retreating steadily and suffering heavy losses, especially the Japanese navy has almost completely lost its combat effectiveness, so the Japanese army's maritime transportation is almost completely interrupted.The strategic resources plundered by the Japanese army in Southeast Asia and the domestic battlefield could only be transported by land.Most of the Japanese army is now scattered in the eastern coastal area, and the most important land transportation still depends on the Jinpu Railway.

Gao Jiu did not advocate that they do this. He thought that the Lunan Military Region had a huge force, and this was an excellent opportunity for training.

With most of the city walls destroyed, the troops of the Lunan Military Region launched a fierce attack.

Jue, commander of the 142nd Division of the Japanese Army
It was very wronged that there were obviously a large number of Japanese soldiers in Jinan City and Xuzhou, but they refused to save them and watched them die.

Zhang Quan, his sister and brother-in-law came to LY County this time because they were driven by homesickness and wanted to come back and have a look.After all, I will live in the distant Golden Triangle in the future, and it will not be easy to go back to my hometown.Since he didn't come with a combat mission this time, he didn't want a big battle to happen.

The last time Zhang Quan went back to LY County to find his sister, LY County was controlled by the troops of the Lunan Military Region, and now it has been re-occupied by the Japanese army.

After discussion, Gao Jiu, the head of the underground party, Gao Hong and others believed that if the Japanese army in the city could surrender, it would be a good example for disintegrating other Japanese troops.So they agreed to accept the Japanese surrender.

Seeing the huge loss of troops, the head of the underground party and Gao Hong came to Gao Jiu, hoping that he would come forward to persuade the besieged Japanese army to surrender, thereby reducing the loss of troops.

After the battle began, the Taohuashan guerrillas violently shelled the walls of Tai'an City with powerful artillery fire.

The North China Front Army Command immediately issued a notice requesting General Haneda, the commander of the No. 12 Army stationed in Shandong, and the commander of the Seventh Army to attend a combat meeting in Beiping City and jointly formulate a campaign plan to recapture Tai'an City.

The most affected one is Tufeiyuan.Many people in the base camp disliked him. He never won a single battle with Gao Jiu, and his abilities had already been questioned by the base camp.The failure of the Tai'an battle this time became the last straw that crushed him.On the second day after the end of the Tai'an campaign, Dohido was asked to resign and be responsible for the failure of the campaign.

When the air commandos appeared over the county town, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city panicked, and they instinctively shot into the sky.

Because Zhang Quan and others wanted to see their old house clearly, the speed of the helicopter was very slow when it flew by, so a small number of bullets hit the helicopter.The bullets jingled against the armor below the helicopter, but did not cause any damage to the helicopter.

The special fighters did not fight back against the Japanese army, because the Japanese and puppet troops were all in the county, and if the special fighters fought back, they would easily accidentally injure the residents of the city.If there is no loss of helicopters, the special forces will ignore them.

Zhang Quanfei passed by his ancestral house, waited and watched for a while, and then prepared to fly away.
