Chapter 160: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
It's slow~ One more chapter tonight~
=============================
At this time, Tu Qianjun in the headquarters also received news from Aban: Britain, the United States, Germany, and France had received the photos and information provided by Tu Qianjun, and are now putting pressure on Japan to force them to leave China. Tu Qianjun was silent for a long time after receiving this information, and then he said slowly to Qi Muden, Su Zongzhe and others who gathered in their headquarters: "Now is the most nervous time. I guess the Japanese army will make a final counterattack. Maybe even the Sixth Division that surrounded the Northern Expedition Army will send back to attack us. After all, we are the pushers who provide evidence to Britain, the United States and other countries to force them to leave China. In addition, the Saito Brigade is destroyed in our hands. If they don't destroy us, they probably won't be willing!"
Su Zongzhe and others, who were originally a little excited when they heard Tu Qianjun's words, calmed down and lowered their heads to think about Tu Qianjun's words. After all, the Third Division outside the city now has more than 15,000 people, and the Sixth Division now has at least nearly 4,000 people! The first one is a superposition of about 20,000 troops! Moreover, the Japanese army's equipment is not much worse than that of themselves, and even the number of heavy artillery, light and heavy weapons, and the quality of soldiers are much better than themselves! Even the Japanese army can call for support from aircraft located in Qingdao, and there are only more than 10,000 infantry guarding Jinan City. Although there are some artillery and light and heavy weapons, it is not of the same level as others. No one dares to say that they are sure to resist this kind of war.
Seeing Su Zongzhe and his friends looked solemn, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but smile: "We don't have to worry too much. To put it bluntly, it's not that we have attacked the Japanese. We have all annihilated one of the brigades, but this time it's just a little more, and our advantage is that we have built fortifications. After the attack of the Saito brigade, our fortifications are not only complete but also able to withstand heavy artillery bombardment and aircraft bombardment. Moreover, the Japanese army was forced by Britain, the United States, France, and Germany to evacuate Jinan within two days, which means that they can attack for one day at most. As long as we withstand a day, they will naturally retreat!"
After hearing Tu Qianjun say this, the generals of the New Army nodded. Indeed, the battle with Saito Liu's brigade has confirmed the sturdyness of the fortifications outside the city made of rails and sleepers. They are really hard to hit by heavy artillery and aircraft, so as long as they are properly guarded, it should not be too big a problem to withstand the Japanese army's attack on a day.
Seeing everyone's expressions slowed down, Tu Qianjun continued to say in a deep voice: "But we cannot be careless either. After all, the current light and heavy firepower, military quality and command system of the Japanese army are not the arrogant stupid pigs of Saito Liu! We will face the long-standing battle formation, Hikasuke Fukuda and Kinichi Anman!"
"The old devil Fukuda Hikasuke is not simple! He is a graduate of the 16th period of the Japanese Mainland University. He once watched the First World War as a military officer during World War I. Later, he was transferred to the Japanese General Staff Headquarters and gained a lot of war experience in the Japanese war against Russia! Therefore, this old devil is undoubtedly a difficult person!" Tu Qianjun narrowed his eyes, took out a cigarette to light a deep breath for himself and said slowly:
"Let me talk about Anman Kinichi, who is also a student of the 16th session of the Japanese Mainland University. Although he does not have the opportunity to watch the battle with Hikasuke Fukuda and has never fought with the Soviet Union, don't think he is a fuel-efficient lamp! This old boy once served as the Minister of Aviation of the Japanese Army and is very good at supporting air combat and aircraft! With his relationship, the Japanese army's offensive will definitely mobilize aircraft to assist in Qingdao again! Moreover, according to the latest information, the Japanese army still has armored vehicles!"
After saying this, Tu Qianjun threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stood up and looked at the generals in front of him in a deep voice: "We are about to face a comprehensive attack of the Japanese army and air cooperation!" Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, the generals of the New First Army were solemn and their eyes widened! Looking at their appearance, Tu Qianjun smiled and continued: "But, I am confident that I can poke them over!"
"Order! The Qimudou team immediately rushed to the front line of the outer city of Shangbu District to connect with the defense position! Target: resist the upcoming Sixth Division of Fukuda Hikasuke! Remember, before they arrive, you should step up the construction of fortifications. There are still some rails and sleepers that have been demolished, and you can take them to build them directly!"
"Yes!" Qi Muden stood up and stood attentively and said respectfully. Then Tu Qianjun continued: "Order! Deng Yin's vassal troops head to the South Gate position to defend against the possible attacks of the Japanese Third Division! All the light and heavy machine guns seized from the Saito Brigade were distributed. Remember! The goal is to withstand the attack of the Japanese Third Division with the help of fortifications! No step back is allowed without orders!"
"Yes!!" Deng Yinfan stood up and shouted loudly! As the team that had just joined the New First Army, they had not received a combat mission for several days. This battle will be their first battle to join the New First Army, which made Deng Yinfan not excited!
"Order! Li Yannian's troops and Zhou Tuolong's troops enter the outer city of Jinan! Remember, your mission is not to fight directly with the Japanese army, but to attack the Japanese army's team, and to attack their stormtroopers from the side when they charge! But remember, you must master the timing! Never come out early! You should take advantage of the large Japanese army's attack and then kill them from the side to wipe out their stormtroopers!"
"Yes!!" Li Yannian, Zhou Tuolong stood up without hesitation and responded loudly! Zhou Tuolong's troops have been repairing after entering Jinan City, just to wait for this moment! Tu Qianjun believed Zhou Tuolong and Li Yannian's vision of catching fighter jets. Li Yannian looked gentle and gentle, wearing this pair of black-framed glasses common in this era, but in fact, this seemingly gentle guy is a ruthless general! He is a student of Huangpu First Class and has followed the troops to fight around in the north since 1925.
In early 1928, the Northern Expedition Army was blocked by Linhuai Pass and could not capture it. The headquarters was about to send troops to relocate, but Li Yannian refused to evacuate and volunteered to defeat the defenders, and led the entire regiment to launch a fierce attack. Before the battle, the division commander Xu Tingyao had telegrammed Li Yannian: If the battle was difficult, the troops should retreat early. Li Yannian did not say anything, and directly led the team to attack the defenders who were fighting under the fierce attack collapsed, abandoned the city and fled, and Linhuai Pass was occupied by the Northern Expedition Army. In this battle, Li Yannian was the first contribution!
According to later generations, in 1930, Li Yannian led his troops to withstand the attack of Feng Yi Division with a brigade force. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he also participated in the August 13th War of Resistance in Shanghai. In 1940, Li's troops entered Changde, Hunan Province for a brief reorganization, and participated in the Yichang River defensive war in Yichang River in Hubei Province and the Yichang Battle. In this battle, Li's troops fought with the Japanese army for four or five months, and both sides suffered casualties and losses. However, until Japan surrendered, the Japanese army could not move forward further. In 1944, the Japanese army approached Tongguan under Li Yannian, attempting to go from pass to Sichuan, seize Chengdu first, and then occupy Chongqing!
Li Yannian saw through the Japanese invaders' conspiracy, used the dangerous terrain of "one man is the pass, ten thousand men cannot open", and adopted a tactical approach of waiting for work. After many long and fierce competitions, although there were heavy casualties, Tongguan was still as solid as a rock. The Japanese army had no choice but to retreat, so Tu Qianjun, who had such a ruthless general, naturally would not worry about his ability to capture the fighter jet. Then Tu Qianjun glanced at everyone again and said slowly: "Deputy Commander Su, you lead Liang Hua's troops and my guard company as the general reserve team! Support all battlefields at any time!"
"Yes!!" Su Zongzhe also stood up without hesitation and responded solemnly! Then Tu Qianjun's eyes swept over everyone again and said slowly: "Everyone, this will be a bloody battle! I'm not sure that no one here will sacrifice, but what I can be sure is that we will win!"
"Yes!! We will win!" The generals roared with red eyes!
Just as Tu Qianjun was making tactical deployment, Chiang Zhongzheng, who was blocked in Feicheng, suddenly found that the Japanese army ahead of him had a strange movement. The arrogant and rude Hikasuke Fukuda actually sent someone to tell Chiang Zhongzheng that he needed to sign a compensation agreement to release the Northern Expedition Army. Chiang Zhongzheng, who had no news, was overjoyed when he heard this! He quickly signed the "Jinan Incident Solution" drafted by the Japanese army and then led the Northern Expedition Army to continue to fight towards Beijing!
Just after the agreement was signed, Fukuda Hikasuke of the Sixth Division, with a gloomy face, led the 6th Division and more than 2,000 people who were supplemented by the Kwantung Army, pulled artillery, drove armored vehicles and rushed to Jinan City! Fukuda Hikasuke knew that his Jinan incident must be blamed! He might even be ordered to have a caesarean section, and everything was caused by the damn unknown bastard who now occupied Jinan City! So Fukuda Hikasuke gave his only order to his subordinates: kill all the things that can be moved in Jinan City! Whether it is people or anything else, no living ones are allowed! After occupying Jinan, they can give them three hours of "free time" and they can "freely move" according to their own wishes!
