    Although this battle was only a small-scale battle that broke out in a local area and did not affect the final direction of the entire battle, this battle also gave the troops of the 1st Armored Division a vivid role.  This lesson made them clearly realize that they still have shortcomings before becoming a fully qualified Iron Lion.

    In fact, this is not the first time that the armored forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance have shown that their shooting accuracy is not as good as that of the Japanese army. In the tank battle on the Linxi battlefield, the anti-Union tank gun's shooting accuracy at long distances was obviously not as good as that of the Japanese army. However, after  The modified anti-alliance tanks had an absolute advantage in terms of protection, and the Soviet-made 45mm tank gun was more powerful than the Japanese army, which led to a one-sided battle.

    If everyone had the same equipment performance and roughly the same artillery power, the tank battle might not have been the same as it was at that time. The sighting system of the Soviet tank in the middle was lagging behind, and the tank's poor shock absorption function affected the shooting accuracy.  The lack of a dedicated loader also affects the rate of fire, which is a certain reason.

    The most fundamental reason is that the training level of the anti-Japanese tank troops is still far behind the Japanese army. Whether it is on the Linxi battlefield or in this battle, the reaction speed and shooting accuracy of the Japanese artillery are generally inferior.  They all surpassed the armored soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, especially the long-range shooting accuracy beyond 500 meters, which surpassed most of the armored units of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    Although the scale of this local battle was not large, it truly showed the gap between the training levels of the Anti-Alliance armored forces and the Japanese army. After the war, Chen Hanzhang personally listed it as a required textbook for the training of the Anti-Alliance armored forces. After the war, Chen Hanzhang personally transferred the tanks that participated in this battle.  The company commander came to summarize the experience of this battle.

    However, in any case, this armored train failed to become the magic weapon that Lieutenant General Sadae Inoue expected to stabilize the war situation. However, after the division of troops, the number of tanks in the Eastern Front cluster was only three companies. Although the sudden nature of the battle  It was achieved to a very perfect level and caused considerable casualties to the main force of the Japanese Sixty-ninth Division.

    On the Jining battlefield, two of the four infantry brigades of the Sixty-ninth Division were beaten into disability in this encounter. Even Yi Liangpin was getting off the train at Jining Station when he came over.  Che's 60th Brigade Headquarters and the 118th Independent Infantry Brigade were directly blocked in the carriage by Yi Liangpin's armored group.

    After a round of shells, the headquarters of the 60th Brigade was crippled on the spot. Although Major General Fujitaro Ohta, the commander of the 60th Brigade, escaped, the passenger car attached to the rear was different from other stuffy tank trucks.  The target was too obvious and he was hit by three 45mm artillery shells at the same time and was seriously injured.

    As for the 118th Infantry Brigade that passed through his brigade headquarters, the two infantry squadrons were blocked in the carriage. They were defeated before they could even get out of the carriage. The carriage was full of broken limbs and Japanese corpses.  , but although the raid achieved considerable results, after all, when facing a division of Japanese troops, the number was still insufficient.

    In fact, after Yi Liangpin found out the actual situation of the Japanese army in front of him, he had no intention of directly defeating the 69th Division in one go. His lack of troops was his biggest weakness. The only thing he could do was to take advantage of this encounter.  , divide the Japanese 69th Division, and kill as many Japanese troops as possible in front of them, creating the best fighter opportunity for the main force to finally encircle and annihilate the 69th Division.

    After half a day of melee, relying on the impact of the 1st Armored Division's Mechanized Infantry Regiment and the 5th Division's 14th Regiment under the cover of two tank companies, Yi Liangpin finally achieved his original goal, defeating the main force of the 69th Division and Jining  The four infantry squadrons of the independent third mixed brigade were divided into three unrelated areas: Sanchakou, Jining City, and Hongshazui.

    However, the lack of military strength allowed Yi Liangpin to complete the encirclement of Jining County, and he had lost the ability to continue the offensive. Faced with the current war situation, Yi Liangpin immediately sent a telegram to his immediate superior, Chen Hanzhang, telling him where he was currently.  He reported the real situation he was in and urged Chen Hanzhang, who was leading a cavalry brigade, to speed up his march.

    The Japanese army was also in a panic and gradually stabilized. On the one hand, it used the telephone lines that had not been cut off and the intermittent radio to report the battle situation to the North China Front Army Headquarters and the Mongolian Garrison Army Headquarters in Shangdu, and  Requesting reinforcements, on the one hand, they resisted desperately on the spot, trying to reunite the divisions that had been divided into three pieces.

    In fact, as the latest batch of Japanese troops formed to deal with the anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines, as the Type C division specifically responsible for guarding, which was later called the security division, neither the strength of the troops nor the heavy weapons and equipment could  Compared with the field divisions, the Sixty-ninth Division was very unlucky to be deployed to reinforce the Chadong battlefield this time.

    The entire organization of the 69th Division, which had just been formed, was completely organized to defend the Japanese-occupied areas until the time of departure.It has two brigades, eight independent infantry brigades, no divisional cavalry regiments or search regiments, and the artillery, engineers, and baggage troops are only organized into one brigade.

    The Sixty-ninth Division, which was originally intended to be used for garrison duties on the northern section of the Tongpu Railway, was not included in this combat sequence by Okamura Neiji. In Okamura Neiji's plan, this C-type garrison division was  During the entire battle, it was responsible for guarding the northern section of Tongpu Road and ensuring the smooth flow of the Tongpu Railway during wartime.

    The reason why it is said to be unlucky is because General Hata Jun Liu mobilized the 110th Division in advance, leaving Huade and Shangdu's first and second defense lines empty of troops, and the 69th Division was stationed near northern Shanxi.  Along the Tongpu Railway, and before there was time to conduct dispersed garrisoning, the division was still in the process of gathering, so it was temporarily captured.

    However, the entire division has just been formed, and its troops and equipment are in a state of security. It has not yet been transferred to the field division establishment. Although the troops are relatively sufficient, the number of heavy equipment is lacking. The division artillery battalion only has four field guns and eight  As for the establishment of Menshan artillery, as for other artillery, there are only brigade artillery squads equipped by each infantry brigade.

    Although the North China Front Army took into account the current situation of the division's establishment when issuing the order, it decided that after the division was concentrated in Jining, it would receive part of the artillery and other arms of the independent mixed third brigade in order to convert the division from  The defensive establishment was changed to a field establishment.

    But the battle broke out too suddenly. Not to mention the equipment, even the main force of the division had not even had time to arrive in Jining. Yi Liangpin hugged his head and gave him a stick. At this time, because  The train must give priority to the most urgently needed reinforcements on the Chadong battlefield. The Third Mixed Brigade has been assembled and the troops and equipment prepared to strengthen the 69th Division are still far away in Datong.

    After doing this, the two aspects of the Jining battlefield were equal to half a catty to eight liang. In addition, including the garrison strength of the independent mixed third brigade in Jining City, even in the melee, it was able to withstand  Although there were a lot of casualties, the 69th Division had the advantage in terms of strength. However, it suffered from insufficient heavy firepower, and the only twelve mountain field guns were scattered in two directions.

    Yi Liangpin wanted to attack, but he suffered from insufficient troops. He only had two infantry regiments in his hands, plus an infantry battalion from the Daqingshan Guerrilla Detachment. He wanted to eat up the 69th Division in one bite and the independent mixed Third Division.  Part of the garrison of the brigade, where there is such a big appetite.

    But Yi Liangpin was quite unwilling to stop there. After the Japanese army stabilized their position, he immediately adjusted his deployment and concentrated four battalions based on the 14th Regiment. With the cooperation of two tank companies, he  The three infantry brigades of the Japanese 69th Division in Ningcheng District, plus the remaining two and a half of the four infantry squadrons stationed in Jining by the Third Independent Mixed Brigade, as well as the remnants of the disabled 118th Brigade  , surrounded in the area south of Jining City Railway Station.

    As for the two Japanese infantry brigades and a squadron at Sanchakou, they can only be watched by a mechanized battalion and a tank company. In the south, the two Japanese infantry brigades that have already disembarked at Hongshazui, plus a rapid-fire artillery squadron, can only be guarded by a mechanized battalion and a tank company.  An infantry battalion can be used to block the attack on the front line of Guancun.

    Now such a situation has formed on the entire Jining battlefield. With the forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance being roughly equal, they bluffed the Japanese troops in Jining City rather than encircling them, rather than trapping them in the city, while outside the city  The west and south directions were actually in a semi-surrounded state. At this moment, there were only two companies behind Yi Liangpin to defend against Taolin's enemy forces.

    What makes Yi Liangpin even more troublesome is that the Japanese army also has an independent third mixed brigade near the battlefield. Even within the big-mouthed and thin-skinned encirclement he deployed, there are four squadrons. Of course, he doesn't know this yet.  The four infantry squadrons had been beaten into second-class disabilities by his random punches at this moment, but after all, the shelf was there, so it had to be taken into account.

    If the main force of the surrounding independent mixed brigades also participates, then the troops on hand will definitely be at a disadvantage. Behind him is Tao Lin, as well as two baggage squadrons and an engineer squadron of the Japanese 110th Division, as well as  Two infantry squadrons, taken together, are equivalent to a reinforced infantry brigade.

    Jining is the closest place with a railway line to the entire Chadong battlefield. It is also the closest place where the Japanese army in Shanxi can use the railway to reinforce the Chadong battlefield and replenish supplies to the Chadong battlefield. It is also located in the deep zone of Shangdu and Huade. From here  Xiangdong can directly threaten the back of the Japanese army in Suidong. By attacking Jining, it can be said that it is stabbing the entire Japanese army in Suidong, Suinan, and even northern Shanxi.  On inch.

    The importance of Jining¡¯s location on the entire battlefield now determines that it is the closest to the battlefield and the only one that the Japanese army can rush to the battlefield in the shortest time.A unit will definitely join in, and judging from the Japanese army's usual efficiency, this third mixed brigade will definitely arrive on the battlefield in the shortest possible time, and by then it will be passive.

    Now that he is clearly overstretched, he still doesn't know the progress of the central and western fronts. What he is more worried about is that if he fails to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese troops in Jining City first, and the surrounding Japanese troops rush to surround him, he will be in trouble.  He might be surrounded by the Japanese army, so after sending a telegram to Chen Hanzhang, Yi Liangpin took the lead in attacking the Japanese army in Jining City, regardless of the fact that his own strength was slightly less than that of the Japanese army.

    In fact, as Yi Liangpin expected, the Japanese reinforcements arrived very quickly, and the scale of the Japanese reinforcements far exceeded his judgment. After receiving a telegram from the 69th Division, he learned that Jining was besieged  , the shocked Okamura Neiji immediately mobilized the main force of the third independent mixed brigade and quickly set off from Datong to Jining for front-line reinforcements.

    At the same time, after the winter sweep, he stayed in Shanxi and prepared to mobilize six infantry brigades and two artillery regiments from the 41st Division as the second echelon. In addition, he had already arrived in Taiyuan and dispatched troops.  The four infantry brigades of the 15th Division drawn from East China formed a detachment, commanded by Lieutenant General Qing Shuigui, the commander of the 41st Division, and immediately took a train to Suinan for reinforcements.
