The battlefield in Qilu Province was also in an emergency. Although the No.18 Division withstood the attack of the Hualan army outside Gaomi, it was quite difficult to hold on because the artillery was not as good as the opponent.The military immediately decided to send the 12th and No.105 divisions to the battlefield in Qilu Province. At the same time, they were equipped with the only field heavy artillery unit equipped with [-]mm howitzers in Japan.

Chapter 5 Sixty

The Japanese army gathered in Qilu Province, and a tragic battle was inevitable. At this time, Zhao Shouhong met Cai Songpo in Tai'an.Cai Songpo was very happy after receiving the news of joining forces with Zhao Shouhong in Qilu Province. He immediately led the first and second divisions of the Cochin Revolutionary Army to the north.

Jiaozhi was a long way away, and they could reach Qilu Province in such a short period of time after Xie Mingjue and others agreed to allow them to use the railway in Zhongchuan, but this was already five days after the war between the Shu army and the Japanese army.

"Brother Songpo, you are safe and sound." Zhao Shouhong first smiled and bowed his hands in salute.

"Shou Hong is still in good spirits. I didn't expect that your methods will become more sharp after not seeing you for many years." Cai Songpo laughed and said in a low voice: "I heard that a year ago, you severely repaired Lao Yuan's Northern Territory Army."

Zhao Shouhong said: "It's just a fluke, it was a misunderstanding, and I just wiped out five to seven thousand people casually." The two immediately laughed.

"You always don't tell the truth. Let me introduce you. This is Yu Enyang, the commander of the first division of my Cochin Army, and Xie Ruyi, the commander of the second division." Cai Songpo shook his head and pointed to Zhao Shouhong who was snickering, and then The two behind him introduced him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhao Shouhong arched his hands and pointed to the two behind him, "This is Gao Yuhan, the commander of the No.15 Infantry Division of the Shu Army, and Lin Shuang, the logistics director."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Everyone clasped their fists together and saluted.

Yu Enyang frowned slightly and asked, "Captain Zhao, why did the Shu army only come with one infantry division?" Because he was a member of the Communist Party, although he did not join the National Congress, he also had a good impression of Sun Wenhai.During the second revolution, the Shu army took the initiative to attack and defeated the Nanyuan army almost by itself, which made him always worry about it.Yu Enyang can be regarded as the only person among the senior officials of the Cochin Army who has prejudices against the Dashu military government.

Seeing Yu Enyang speak out to find fault, Cai Songpo knew something was wrong.He knew the temper of this old subordinate very well, and he was afraid that Zhao Shouhong would be embarrassed if the other party contradicted him. "Where does Master Yu say that, even if the Shu army's combat power is superior, Zhao Dudu will not be so entrusted with it."

"It's not entirely true. Now some people say that the Shu army is the strongest army in the country, and its combat power is even far superior to that of the Northern Region army. I really don't accept it." The more Yu Enyang said it, the more outrageous it became, and Cai Songpo couldn't help but feel aggravated.I was so excited that I actually forgot about this question. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have brought out this troublemaker.It would be nice to let him guard Jiaozhi and bring the third division, Long Yun, out.

In fact, Cai Songpo had no choice but to bring these two teachers. He and Tang Jisheng had an inseparable relationship, and the two cooperated closely.The Longyun Department is Tang Jisheng's family property. If he left his confidantes to guard Jiaozhi this time, he was afraid that Tang Jisheng would not be able to suppress these people, so he brought out all his basic troops.

Looking at Yu Enyang who was looking for faults, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help being a little funny. In the past few years, because he has repeatedly suppressed the revolutionaries' actions in Zhongchuan, many people have disrespected him like this.Zhao Shouhong dismissed this kind of childish bickering. He pretended to be ignorant and explained: "This is just a division stationed in Tai'an. Another infantry division and an artillery division are fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in Gaomi. I I was planning to attack Jinan, but when Brother Songpo came, I postponed it for two days."

Hearing that the Shu army actually had three divisions, one of which was a pure artillery division, several senior officials of the Jiaozhi Army couldn't help being speechless.Artillery division, this is the only establishment in the country.Even if an artillery division is equipped with ordinary 75mm mountain guns, the money spent can equip at least five infantry divisions. There is no second such rich and powerful person in China.

Cai Songpo stepped forward and said: "Since the President wants you to be the commander-in-chief this time, you will dispatch my Cochin Army. But let me state first that we hope that Jinan can only be attacked by our Cochin Army as the vanguard."

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem, but the Japanese army has two field artillery brigades in Jinan. I wonder if the Cochin Army's firepower is enough to suppress it?"

Zhao Shouhong was afraid that the Cochin Army would lose too much, so he kindly asked, but Yu Enyang thought that he looked down on the Cochin Army.Yu Enyang immediately said coldly: "Don't worry, Governor Zhao, our Cochin Army soldiers are well-trained. Even if the artillery is not as good as the Japanese army, we will definitely be able to occupy Jinan."

Hearing Yu Enyang's words, Zhao Shouhong's face immediately turned cold: "Mr. Yu, leading troops to fight is not vindictiveness. The lives of soldiers are not cannon fodder to fill up the advantages of weapons. If you think that the officers and soldiers of the Cochin Army can despise life and use blood to stop Japanese The muzzle of the army, I very much doubt whether you are qualified to be an officer."

Zhao Shouhong's words were very serious, but Yu Enyang couldn't refute him.He loves soldiers like children, so he can't say something that would chill the soldiers, but he stuttered for a long time but couldn't answer.

Cai Songpo stood aside with a smile, he wanted to see how Zhao Shouhong planned to solve this matter.Unexpectedly, Zhao Shouhong turned his head to Cai Songpo and said, "Brother Songpo, how many people in the Cochin Army can fire?"

"Fire the cannon?" Cai Songpo was taken aback and then said, "My Jiaozhi Lecture Hall has a special artillery department, and each division also has an artillery battalion. But Jiaozhi is poor, and the artillery cannot be equipped."

Zhao Shouhong immediately turned around and said, "Lin Shuang."

"Here." Lin Shuang immediately answered loudly, standing at attention.

"Allocate 24 Hu-2 Type 75mm mountain guns from the logistics warehouse of the [-]th Division to the brothers of the Jiaozhi Army, and another sixty Type [-] heavy machine guns and ten base ammunition." Zhao Shouhong waved his hand proudly A large amount of equipment was added to the Cochin Army.

"Yes, principal. I'll do it right away." Lin Shuang gave a military salute and left.The officers of the Cochin Army were stunned when they heard it. The reserve warehouse of an infantry division can produce so much equipment without feeling sorry for them. This seems to be more heavy weapons than the entire Cochin Army. .

"Thank you so much for letting you spend so much money." Cai Songpo's hands trembled with excitement.

Zhao Shouhong said: "The Hualan army is a family. We have to join hands to fight against foreign aggression. How can we be different from you and me. Tomorrow, I will ask Lin Shuang to dispatch another batch of first-aid kits to minimize the casualties of the soldiers. As for the specific The attack plan is not something I can make alone, so let me invite Brother Songpo to go to the war room with me to plan it."

"Thank you, let's go." Cai Songpo and Zhao Shouhong walked away, leaving Yu Enyang standing on the spot with a flushed face. Now even he himself felt a little petty.Xie Ruyi, who was next to him, patted Yu Enyang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense in the future. Although Zhao Dudu is sometimes unpredictable, he is fighting for the country on the whole. Now everyone is fighting the enemy together, and it is better to unite Lord."

Chapter 561 Inferior Strength

Yu Enyang nodded repeatedly when he heard that, at this moment Zhao Shouhong, who had just walked away, suddenly turned his head and said to Gao Yuhan: "Go and inform the kitchen, we invite the Cochin Army brothers to dinner today."

"Yes, Principal." Gao Yuhan also led others away.

This evening, the officers and soldiers of the Cochin army who had just arrived in Tai'an were eye-opening. The snow-white rice, steaming pepper chicken and red three chops were all Cochin dishes specially prepared by the kitchen, and fresh fish soup was free to drink.If it weren't for the cooking soldiers of the Shu Army to stop them desperately, it is estimated that the Jiaozhi Army would have killed hundreds of people.Only then did the officers and soldiers of the Cochin Army know that the most famous Shu army in China is not only good in weapons, but also makes other troops envious of their meals.

That night, Zhao Shouhong and Cai Songpo had a long talk all night long. With Cai Songpo, a military genius, Zhao Shouhong felt that his vague plan had become much clearer.After repeated discussions, they determined a plan to lure the enemy into gathering and annihilating the Japanese army.

The next day, the Jiaozhi Army and the Shu Army started a joint operation. After replenishing their equipment, the First Division of the Jiaozhi Army crossed Mount Tai to attack Weixian, while the No.15 Division of the Shu Army attacked Jinan.At the same time, the Gaomi troops who received the telegram withdrew overnight, which made the Japanese army feel baffled.

The Japanese army that had been holding on to Gaomi suffered heavy losses. The 81st Regiment was almost disabled, the 29th Brigade also lost nearly 3000 people, and the 22nd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment suffered more than half of its casualties, losing more than half of its mountain artillery.Seeing that Gaomi was about to fall, Kamio Mitsuomi almost ordered the 23rd Brigade to abandon Huangdao and rush to help Gaomi, but the other party mysteriously disappeared.

The Wa people were a little confused about the situation, but Kamio Mitsuomi knew that this Hualan army was not easy to mess with.Wa Kingdom did not have many troops landing in Qilu Province, and it would be very passive to go to war again, so he immediately telegraphed the country to ask for more troops.It was precisely because of Kamio Mitsuomi's request for help that the 12th and No.[-] divisions were mobilized in China, plus a field heavy artillery unit rushed to the battlefield in Qilu Province.

Soon the Japanese government could not feel the ease of this battle. After the exchange of fire on the battlefield in Qilu Province, the Northern Territory Army also assembled three divisions to attack the Fengtian Japanese Army.The Japanese army stationed in Fengtian were all railway guards, and their combat effectiveness was very limited.Under Duan Ruiquan's onslaught, the Japanese army had no choice but to retreat steadily, and retreated back to Luda.

The Koryo garrison soon joined the fray, crossing the Yalu River in an attempt to attack the Northern Army's flank.How could Duan Ruiquan be fooled? The third division covered the flanks and the Koryo garrison troops fought on the front line of Haicheng. The battle between the two sides was very fierce.

When the Hualan army and the Japanese army were fighting in three places, the main force of the Guanghaicheng fleet led by Cai Tingqian had quietly entered the Eastern Ocean from the Miyako Waterway, and surrounded the Japanese mainland from the outside.Zhao Shouhong's order to them was very simple, to bombard the Japanese mainland and destroy their coastal industrial potential.

Because of the long distance, it will take some time for Cai Tinggan's fleet to take action. The real fierce battle is still the battlefield in Qilu Province. After all, this is the main battlefield of the confrontation between the two sides.The First Division of the Jiaozhi Army attacked Weixian County, and with the help of the mountain artillery aided by the Shu Army, they fought vigorously.The two brigades of the Japanese army defending Weixian suffered heavy losses and were on the verge of collapse.

The headquarters of the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Army and most of its troops are in Jinan. Once Weixian is captured, they will be cut off from the supply line and surrounded by the Hualan army.In view of this situation, Kamio Mitsuomi immediately ordered the whole army to attack westward to help the Weixian defenders.The Japanese army was mobilized to the west, and there were only two brigades left in Huangdao.But Kamio Mitsuomi is not worried, because at most one day, the new domestic army will land.

Zhao Shouhong really didn't intend to get stuck on the sea road now, but he didn't intend to make Kamio Mitsuomi turn around again. The No.19 Infantry Division attacked Gaomi again, but this time the [-]st Artillery Division did not accompany it.After the main force of the [-]th Division rushed to aid Weixian and Jinan, Gaomi's defenders had only half a regiment.After a fierce battle, Takami, who was already very scarce in troops, announced a change of hands, and all of Kamio Mitsuomi's troops were cut off from retreat.

Kamio Mitsuomi was not worried at all about the cut off of the rear route. He ordered the existing three brigades to concentrate their forces in Jinan and Weixian and stand by for help.Domestic reinforcements arrived soon. Under the cover of the Third Fleet, a large number of troop carriers crossed the Yellow Sea and transported the Japanese army to Huangdao continuously. The Japanese army began to gain the upper hand.

The 12th Division and No.12 Division, which arrived at Huangdao, began to attack westward and captured Gaomi again.The 19th Division, which was at a disadvantage in strength, took the initiative to retreat, and retreated south after joining the artillery division.The Japanese army was very excited to see the retreat of the Hualan army. In their view, facing the superior Japanese army, the Hualan army lost its fighting spirit. The No.

The situation was very urgent, and the Japanese army had already taken an absolute advantage. On the battlefields of Jinan and Weixian, the Japanese army was more numerous than the Hualan army.Facing the absolute disadvantage in numbers, Zhao Shouhong and Cai Songpo hid in the headquarters to study the combat form.

"The Japanese army is rapidly increasing troops to Qilu Province. They can quickly transport troops by sea, but it is very difficult for us." Cai Songpo said with emotion: "Without the naval advantage, this battle is really difficult."

Zhao Shouhong frowned slightly: "The Japanese army has surpassed three divisions and one brigade in Qilu Province. With the addition of several artillery regiments, the total number of Japanese troops has exceeded 8. In contrast, we now only have five divisions. The strength of the troops is only 6 at full strength."

"The Japanese troops are all gathered on the Jiaoji line, and the reinforcements are very fast. Our current attack on Weixian and Jinan is very dangerous. If we don't withdraw now, we will easily be surrounded by the other side." Cai Songpo said.

Zhao Shouhong stared blankly at the map, then suddenly raised his head and said, "If we withdraw from Wei County and attack Jinan, how will the Japanese army react?"

"Of course they gathered heavily in Jinan, seeking a decisive battle with us. I know what you mean, attract the Japanese army to Jinan, and our army will attack its rear. But if we want to put so much pressure on the Japanese army, we need at least use With a force of more than three divisions, it will be very difficult to attack anywhere," Cai Songpo said.

"Maybe it's possible, as long as we attract most of the Japanese troops to Jinan, but bite them hard." Zhao Shouhong looked towards the easternmost point of Qilu Province and said, "Then we conquer Huangdao and catch turtles in an urn."

"You're crazy, this can't be successful." Cai Songpo said with wide-eyed eyes. Even though he was known for his tricky tactics, he had never used such a bold tactic.

Chapter 562 The Air Force Joins the Battle

"It's possible." Zhao Shouhong slapped the table and turned back, "Confidential Secretary, send a report to Zhongchuan immediately, ordering the Air Force First Division and the Paratrooper Regiment to come to Tai'an to report immediately. At the same time, order the Special Warfare Division to send a regiment to accompany them The First Army and the No.13 Mountain Infantry Division came to Qilu Province, and they were ordered to arrive within a month."

"Yes." The confidential secretary walked out.Cai Songpo was still in a state of astonishment: "Air Force? Paratroopers? Special Operations Division? What kind of army are those?"

"You will know soon." Zhao Shouhong smiled mysteriously, but did not explain immediately.

The Second Division of the Cochin Army who stayed in Tai'an City was mobilized, and the ground was repaired with stone mills overnight, and a simple airfield was established.At noon the next day, planes began to land here.Due to the limited flight range of the planes, these planes made a big circle. After they took off from Chongshan City, they refueled in Jiujiang and Guanghai City before flying to Tai'an.Due to the long distance, they did not arrive much earlier than the airship. Half an hour later, the airship carrying the Paratrooper Regiment and the Second Regiment of the Special Operations Division landed near the airport.

"What are these things for?" Cai Songpo's eyes widened, looking at the things he had never seen before in disbelief.He dares to guarantee that these things are definitely not small.
