Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When later generations of military historians studied the Battle of Jinan, which determined the national destiny of China and Japan, they all expressed great surprise at the Japanese army's enormity.  First of all, in terms of military strength, the Japanese army invested in the 2nd Nakajima (Masaki) Division, the 9th Matsuura (Kanwei) Division and the 11th Honjo (Traditional) Division.  A total of six infantry brigades, twelve infantry regiments, three cavalry regiments, and three mountain artillery regiments.  The total strength is about 70,000, which strictly speaking has set a new record for the Japanese invasion of China.  The troops invested by the Youth Army are Zhang Zizhong of the 1st Division, Yu Zuobai of the 5th Division, Dai Yue of the 6th Division, Gu Pinzhen of the 15th Division, Tao Jun of the 21st Division, and Zhu Jiande of the 28th Division.  , the 29th Division Liu Mingzhao's Division, the 30th Normal Division Shi Sheng's Division, and eight divisions of the 1st Tank and Armored Brigade Gu Zhu's Division, totaling 200,000 people. Among them, the 1st Division Zhang Zizhong's Division and the 30th Normal Division Shi Sheng's Division are stationed in  Boshan, controls the upper reaches of the Zihe River, and the tank brigade has also been transferred to their side. The 5th Division, 6th Division, 15th Division, and 21st Division are currently around Jinan, looking at the main Zhuang Division with eager eyes.  regiment, and Honjo Shigeru's division was obviously aware of the danger. Although the closest distance between the two armies was less than five kilometers, Honjo Shigeru still tightened the defense in accordance with Yuheng Yisheng's order, although Honjo Shigeru had to a large extent responded to this order.  I don't agree with it.  The Xue Yue Department of the 25th Division and the Zhu Peide Department of the 27th Division set out from Rizhao. Their mission was to cooperate with the navy to capture Qingdao. As for how the navy would deal with the Japanese fleet in Jiaozhou Bay, that was not their concern.  Historians made the following comments on this data and arrangement: "I really can't understand where the Japanese's confidence comes from. They actually think that the 200,000-strong youth army that has already made a name for themselves in Europe cannot deal with their 70,000 troops.  Could it be that the ratio of military strength between China and Japan has reached 1:3 or even 1:5 or even 1:10? What is even more shocking is Yuheng Yichen. Faced with the obvious intention of the Chinese army to encircle, he is not aggressive  He defeated them one by one, but instead set up a battle line and looked like he was waiting for the Chinese troops to come up and die. Did he intend to scare the Chinese away by intimidation? " We don't know what Yu Heng Yisheng was thinking at the time.  , War is about mistakes. The one who makes more mistakes dies, and the one who makes less mistakes wins. There is no need to be harsh, and there is no need to pursue extreme perfection. It is as simple as that.  At the same time, since Yu Heng Yi Cheng had put forward such a posture of hoping for a decisive battle, Bai Chongxi was naturally rude. He immediately set a tone. In Linzi, we must avenge our compatriots who died. Here, we  In order to defeat the two main divisions of the Japanese army and force them into Jinan City, all participating troops were immediately mobilized and cold-resistant materials were distributed. Now even the cooks in each company knew that a big battle was about to begin.  On December 10, the day before the scheduled attack, Bai Chongxi braved the snow to visit Boshan in person to inspect the tank brigade. The German armored adviser Guderian of the Youth Army arrived together with Gu Zhutong, Wang Zhenhua, Jiang Dingwen, and Qian Dajun.  After Liu Zhi and other high-level officials of the tank and armored brigade inspected the brigade, Bai Chongxi pointed to the brigade¡¯s 28 Tiger Min-7 light tanks and 220 Min-7 armored vehicles and asked Guderian: ¡°It¡¯s really not necessary.  The infantry clears the way for these iron guys, and they can really succeed in attacking the Japanese army directly. "At the Lianyun Naval Base in central Jiangsu, Navy Minister Chen Shaokuan arrived here secretly and saw off the naval submarine formation under the cover of night.  Chen Shiying's hand said: "Originally, the plan was for you to stay at the mouth of the Yangtze River and not come out, but it is the general trend. Our navy only has a trump card like you. We must be careful in Jiaozhou Bay. We must not only show the prestige of our navy, but also  We must try to preserve our strength and immediately withdraw to Shanghai with twenty X-submarines to defend the Yangtze River Estuary after we succeed. "At the Air Force wartime airport thirty kilometers away from Jinan, the Minister of the Air Force, Commander and Commander of the First Flying Division.  Yang Xianyi was doing the final battle mobilization for the 200 pilots of forty Fire Dragon 1 bombers. As intelligence showed that the Japanese aviation force, which had just begun to be formed, did not participate in this war. The Japanese did not pay attention to the air force and submarines.  Behind it is the selfish interests of the original factions. Their selflessness is essentially just a little better than the selfishness of the Chinese. Therefore, Japan gave up when it encountered Westerners during World War II.  "Our Air Force is an independent new branch of arms. It is a glorious force established by Chairman Wang Zhenyu himself. Tomorrow will be our first battle. Our meteorological squadron has already calculated that the heavy snow will stop tomorrow and it will be suitable for flying operations. According to the Northern Expeditionary Army  Chief of Staff General Bai Chongxi ordered that when our army launches an attack, our air force will attack unconditionally, focusing on attacking the Japanese artillery positions and command and logistics systems, and if necessary, conduct deterrence operations against their defensive positions. "As soon as the general order was issued,  The three armies were exhausted. In the eighth year of the Republic of China, on the night of December 10, 1919, all the young officers and soldiers on the Shandong battlefield entered the airIn a tense state, the quartermasters of each army were busy distributing various combat supplies. In addition to basic ammunition, cold-proof scarves, drinks, and everything that could help the soldiers resist the severe cold in the wild, all were sent to the soldiers.  In the hands of the Youth Army, this is what the Youth Army is most proud of. Their combat effectiveness may not be the best in Asia, but their logistics support has definitely reached the European level, and all the soldiers in the attacking force are guys without faith. No one has  At this time, everyone was busy looking for army clerks or political cadres to ask them to write letters home. Although most soldiers received literacy education when they were in the recruit base, that was only  With limited literacy, it is still extremely painful for them to write a letter home.  The troops who have not yet arrived at the designated starting point for the operation have begun to organize their supplies. They are expected to go there on foot, and then rest and recuperate at the starting point, waiting for the battle to begin. This time, in order to cause a shocking blow to the Japanese army, they were five kilometers away from the Japanese position in Linzi area.  Within the area, the Youth Army did not build any fortifications. This was also a major factor in Yuheng Yisheng's vacillation. He even used this to conclude that the South China Army had not yet completed its attack preparations.  History Cha Cha and Yu Heng Yichen made a big joke. Bai Chongxi is simply a madman. He doesn't play according to the routine at all. He doesn't need a solid offensive position at all, because he has a big trump card in his hand.  The hardest part this night was for the technical maintenance personnel of the tank brigade. Each tank and armored vehicle was undergoing strict inspection. Considering the severe cold weather of the Northern Expedition, all vehicles were replaced with new antifreeze oil, and all parts were inspected and inspected.  Grease, and do not miss any hidden danger, especially the Tiger light tank, which is also repeatedly requested by German consultants. After all, it would be a joke if the tank lay down during a fight, and it would be impossible for soldiers to push it with manpower.  More than a month after the war broke out, China and Japan are finally going to a decisive battle.  At this time, with the fall of Jinan, Sun Wen, Chairman of the Nanjing National Government, publicly advocated for peace between China and Japan, an end to the war, and punishment of the culprits. This idea was also known as the Twelve-Character Policy. Once it was put forward, it immediately caused a stir in the market.  There was an uproar.  Xiong Xiling, Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council of the National Government, was the first to criticize Sun Wen in a telegram: "Sun Wenming is a patriotic person, but he is actually the leader of the traitors. At a time when China is in danger, he does not care about the honor and disgrace of the nation and colludes with foreigners for personal gain. His behavior  How different from the Manchus" Sun Wen then issued an order in the name of Chairman of the National Government to remove Xiong Xiling from the post of Prime Minister of the National Government Government Affairs Council, and proposed to the National Congress to appoint Wang Jingwei as Prime Minister of the National Government Government Affairs Council. Xiong Xiling was not someone to be trifled with.  Yes, he immediately resigned and went to Wuhan, but he did not resign because he took his seal with him. When he arrived in Wuhan, he sent a telegram accusing Sun Wen of being a traitor. His position as chairman of the National Government automatically expired in accordance with the provisions of the "Organic Law of the National Government".  The government no longer had the power to appoint or remove the Prime Minister, and the situation became lively. The public was in an uproar for a while, causing a huge shock.  This is news that will inevitably excite the enemy all night long and make our own people panic and bewildered. However, what is strange is that Wang Zhenyu, who Sun Wen calls the culprit, has never expressed any opinion on this matter from beginning to end.  Under the lobbying of Hu Hanmin and Liao Zhongkai, Sun Wen also resisted issuing an order to remove the chairman of the Military Commission.  However, Wang Zhenyu's silence does not mean that he does not know about this matter. He finally got rid of his son Wang Jingye's entanglement, sighed and said to Xiong Xiling: "It seems that the Kuomintang really does not intend to cooperate with me, Wang.  " Without waiting for Xiong Xiling to say anything, Wang Zhenyu directly ordered Secretary Chen Buili: "Let Minister Zhou and Minister Yang come to my place. In addition, let Secretary Zhao fly to Nanjing to fight, and let Wang Yaqiao and Du Yuesheng cooperate. Southeast  There can be no chaos, everything has to wait until this battle is over. Alas, Mr. Xiong, this is really unpopular." On the Shandong front line, in Bai Chongxi's temporary headquarters, Jiang Fangzhen was carefully checking every combat strategy.  After completing the report, Bai Chongxi looked at the map without saying a word. It was impossible for him not to know what happened in Nanjing, but this time he was very determined and ignored Wang Jingwei's contact. It was not that he had no ambition, but that he was  It seems that the Kuomintang people can't achieve anything. In this case, why should I go to Nanjing's muddy waters? It's better to honestly fight the national war in front of me.  Thinking of this, Bai Chongxi suddenly asked: "Brother Baili, is there anything unusual at Fengzhang?" Jiang Fangzhen was stunned and said with a smile: "What kind of action can there be? They are all people who want to be a prostitute and want to build a memorial arch.  My Lord, I guess they are all watching the fire from across the bank now. The latest information is that Zhang Zongchang went to Beijing this morning, and all the weapons and ammunition have not been distributed to the troops." Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "That's good,"This time, little Japan is dead. How dare you pretend to be big in front of us?  "
