    After conquering Gaomi County, Monk Xu ordered the troops to rest in the city for half a day. Using this time, Monk Xu dispersed the surrendered puppet troops into the army. Because they were far away from the base area, there were no extra military uniforms and weapons for them to change.  For the time being, these puppet soldiers can only wear the puppet army uniforms with their collar badges and cap badges removed, and their weapons are still using Japanese equipment.

    However, not all the troops have entered the city to repair. The 3rd Battalion of the 13th Regiment continued to advance eastward according to the order of Monk Xu.  trend.

    There were not many Japanese troops in the area east of Gaomi, and many data points and artillery towers were guarded by puppet troops. When they heard that Gaomi County was occupied by the Eighth Route Army, the puppet troops immediately panicked. Although they did not surrender to the Eighth Route Army, they did not stay where they were and wait.  died, and fled to Jiaozhou one after another.  The traitorous landlords, businessmen, and maintenance presidents who heard the news also joined the ranks of fleeing.

    For a while, in the vast area between Gaomi and Jiaozhou, even a single defender could not see it.  Although those puppet soldiers and traitors were busy fleeing for their lives, the local people were extremely happy. Everyone took out the little rations left, steamed them into buns, and waited happily for the arrival of the Eighth Route Army.

    Under such circumstances, the third battalion moved forward very fast, and arrived at Diaojiatun, more than 40 miles away from Gaomi County, before it got dark.

    As night fell, the main forces of the Jiaodong Military Region also left. Monk Xu, who had already learned that the front area had become an undefended area, temporarily changed the battle plan and ordered the 13th Regiment to attack Jiaozhou, and the 14th Regiment continued westward along the Jiaoji Railway.  Enter, occupy the horse shop.  The Sixteenth Regiment entered the Dagu River directly from the area between the two regiments.

    After receiving the order, the three regiments acted immediately, stabbing towards Qingdao like a sharp knife.

    The Eighth Route Army was on the move, and the Japanese army was not idle either. Major General Uchida Ginnosuke, head of the Japanese mixed independent fifth brigade, received the news that the entire army of Umekawa Yasuhito was annihilated and that the communist army attacked Gaomi immediately.  He sent power to the frontline troops who were mopping up the Jiaodong mountainous area, and asked them to return to help quickly. At the same time, he also issued a mobilization order in the name of the Qingdao Garrison Command, summoning all the more than 3,000 rural soldiers in Qingdao City and organized them into three groups.  a temporary brigade.

    Although these soldiers in the village are all veterans, and some even participated in the Russo-Japanese War and the Battle of Qingdao, after all, they have been out of battle for a long time, and they are all old. Naturally, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of active soldiers, but Uchida Ginnosuke  There is no way for the major general to do this. The so-called long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst. The front-line troops are scattered all over the vast Jiaodong mountainous area.  So for the time being, he can only hand over the heavy responsibility of guarding Qingdao to these veterans of the "father" generation.

    However, before the group of soldiers in the village had finished reorganizing, he received news that Gaomi County was occupied by the communist army.

    "You didn't even hold on for a day?" Major General Uchida Ginnosuke couldn't believe his ears. According to his expectation, although the Japanese army stationed in Gaomi only had the strength of a squadron, with the assistance of more than 200 puppet troops  , with perfect city defenses, even if he is attacked by heavy artillery, he can persist for at least three days. With this time, he can complete the reorganization of the soldiers in the countryside, and then he can use the railway to send these troops to the front  In all counties, completely keep the communist army out of Qingdao.

    However, the rapid fall of Gaomi made Major General Uchida Ginnosuke's plan come to naught. As a last resort, Major General Uchida could only put down the dignity of the army and asked Major General Hiroyoshi Toriyama to send troops to support him.

    "Mr. Bird Mountain, the latest news is that the communist army has already occupied Gaomi. I guess they will attack Jiaozhou and Madian next. If these two areas fall again, the gate to Qingdao will be completely opened.  Qingdao will be exposed to the peak of the Communist army. And my troops at the front line will take a week to arrive at the fastest. Now apart from an infantry brigade and an artillery brigade, there are only three left in Qingdao.  There is a temporary brigade formed by the soldiers in the village, so at this critical juncture, I hope you can respect each other's prejudices and work together with me to guard Qingdao. Please do everything!" Major General Uchida Ginnosuke said solemnly  bowed.

    ?  The Japanese army and navy have been at odds for a long time. The generals of both sides use "Red Deer" (meaning stupid, idiot in Japanese) to call each other in private. In recent years, because of strategy and competition for resources, the conflict between the two sides has deepened.  , and even to the point where one party suffers a defeat and the other party pops champagne to celebrate.  That's why Major General Uchida Ginnosuke begged the other party so lowly.

    ?  Major General Toriyama Hiroyoshi stretched out his hand to help him up, and said solemnly: 'Uchida-kun, don't do this, you and I are soldiers of the empire, the enemy is yours.?, working together is the right thing to do, just tell me what you need me to do.  "

    Major General Uchida Ginnosuke nodded gratefully, and immediately revealed his plan: "Mr. Toriyama, I want to send troops to reinforce Jiaodong and Madian, but I don't have enough troops. The infantry and artillery brigades are guarding Qingdao.  Finally, the strength cannot be moved lightly, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the village is very low. Even if they are dispatched, they will not be able to resist the attack of the communist army. Therefore, I will second your marines and let them go with the temporary brigade  reinforce."

    Rear Admiral Hiroyoshi Toriyama, who knew the truth well, said immediately: "No problem, from now on, all three Marine Corps brigades under my command will be under your command. At the same time, I will also send warships to reinforce you."

    "That's it, thank you so much!" Major General Uchida Ginnosuke said excitedly, and then the two held hands tightly.

    Immediately, Major General Uchida Ginnosuke sent reinforcements consisting of a temporary brigade and a Marine Corps brigade to Jiaozhou and Madian.  These four brigades took the train starry night and rushed to the front line.

    At the same time, a support fleet consisting of a heavy cruiser and four destroyers also unanchored from Qingdao Port, entered Jiaozhou Bay, and sailed towards the mouth of the Dagu River.

    Under the cover of night, the five warships formed a line, plowed through the dark sea at a speed of 20 knots, and sailed silently forward with waves constantly rolling to both sides.  The behemoth at the forefront is the flagship of this support fleet¡ªthe heavy cruiser Kako.

    Although according to the Japanese army's naming method for warships.  (First-class cruisers are named after mountains, and second-class cruisers are named after rivers.) The Kako, named after the river Kakogawa in Hyogo Prefecture, should be a second-class light cruiser, but this ship is a real ship.  Heavy cruiser, as the No. 2 ship of the Furutaka class heavy cruiser, the Kako was built in 1922. It has a length of 185 meters, a width of 17 meters, and a standard displacement of 8,700 tons. Although such a warship is nothing in the Pacific battlefield, when  Put it on the Chinese battlefield, but it is definitely a behemoth.

    Launched in 1926 and serving for 12 years, the Kako has made great achievements for the Japanese Navy. However, due to the rapid development of the navies of various countries, the Kako, which has only six 200mm main guns, has gradually lost its status as a main battleship.  Status, although the modernization in 1937 changed the turret of the Kako to three joint turrets, the main gun was also upgraded to 203 mm, and the anti-aircraft weapons and reconnaissance aircraft were also strengthened.

    But the Jiagu, whose armor is too weak, is no longer an opponent of the US warship.  So the Japanese Navy dispatched it to the Qingdao Squadron. At least for the Chinese Navy, which has few warships, the Kako is still absolutely invincible.

    Major General Hiroyoshi Toriyama dispatched the Kako because of its six main guns with a diameter of 203 mm. In the face of such powerful firepower, those damn communist troops would be blasted to pieces.

    When the supporting fleet reached the mouth of the Dagu River, the battle in Jiaozhou City had already been going on for three to four hours. Under the cover of dozens of mortars of various calibers and two Type 63 rocket launchers, the 13th Regiment of the Jiaodong Military Region  Seven or eight attacks were launched on Jiaozhou City within a few hours, and the scale of the attacks became larger each time. The last time even used a battalion of troops, but such a powerful attack still failed to break through the gates of Jiaozhou City.  .

    Although the reinforcements from Qingdao had not yet arrived, a squadron of Japanese troops stationed in Jiaozhou, relying on solid fortifications and two Type 92 infantry artillery, firmly withstood the wave after wave of attacks from the 13th Regiment.  The barrels of the light and heavy machine guns have been shot red, and the barrels of the grenadiers and the 92-type rifles are also hot enough to ignite the thatch.  There were corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere on the city wall, but the Japanese soldiers defending the city still did not give up resistance. The remaining Japanese soldiers tore their white shirts into strips, stuck the blood on the ground, drew patterns of the rising sun on them, and tore the strips of white cloth again.  Tied to the head, in order to express their determination to fight bloody to the end.

    The Japanese soldiers with the rising sun pattern were completely red-eyed. They howled, copied the weapons in their hands, and shot crazily down the city wall. The dense bullets covered the 13th regiment's position like a rain curtain.

    They are not the only ones who are red-eyed. Under the city wall, the machine gunners of the 13th Regiment poured bullets on the city wall non-stop.  Hail usually hits the city wall.

    Soldiers kept jumping out of the position, holding explosive packs, carrying bullets and stepping on the artillery fire, rushing towards the city gate, but they were all torn to pieces by the rain curtain woven by bullets, but the follow-up soldiers seemed invisible.  He still rushed forward with a firm face.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
