At that time, the remaining forces of the Japanese army in Jinan were all old and weak soldiers, as well as the logistics personnel of the 10th Division, 14th Division, and 5th Division.
Although the total number of people added up to two to three thousand, there were only a thousand people who could really fight.
Most importantly, when Han Tiansheng and Zhou Weiguo led their troops into the city, most of the devils were still asleep.
They were completely unprepared for this sudden attack. In fact, with the combat strength of the Jinan garrison, even if they were prepared, they would not have been able to defend against it.
They couldn't stop the attacks of dozens of the world's most advanced tanks and hundreds of elite cavalrymen, let alone being caught unprepared.
Therefore, the battle that followed was a one-sided massacre.
Han Tiansheng led Sun Desheng and the other five hundred cavalry soldiers who were eager to avenge themselves. Like a flood that had burst through a dam, they galloped through the city, sweeping through everything.
In less than an hour, nearly half of the devils in the city had been wiped out. Many devils had just woken up from their sleep and ran out of their barracks when they were slashed to the ground by the Tiger Cavalry.
Or they would be riddled with bullets from the submachine guns and the machine guns.
The remaining half of the devils took the opportunity to escape from the east and north gates in a panic. Han Tiansheng immediately ordered Sun Desheng and Zhou Weiguo to lead the troops in pursuit.
If the devils didn't leave the city and stayed in the city to fight with the Tiger Regiment, they might be able to hold on for a while.
However, once they left the city, they had no way to resist the pursuit of the Tiger Regiment's armored and cavalry units.
They were either riddled with holes by tank bullets or cut down by cavalry sabers and sent flying by warhorses.
By the time Long Wenzhang and the three main forces of the Tiger Legion arrived, the armored and cavalry battalions had already wiped out the thousands of devils that had escaped.
Han Tiansheng had also eliminated the remaining Japanese invaders in the city!
In less than two hours, the thousand-year-old city that had fallen less than two months ago, Jinan, was the political, military, cultural, and economic center of Shandong at that time. Han Tiansheng led his troops to recover.
When Niu Tiezhu, Long Wenzhang, Zhou Weiguo, Sun Desheng, and the others found Han Tiansheng…
Han Tiansheng was standing at the entrance of the provincial government building in a daze. After Jinan was occupied by the Japanese army, it was changed to the Japanese army's headquarters.
The Japanese flag on the building had been replaced by the Chinese flag.
This was not only the location of the Shandong Provincial Government, but also the Han Residence, which was once famous.
Seeing Han Tiansheng's back facing them, staring at the provincial government building in front of him silently, Niu Tiezhu could not help but shout,""Traveler!"
Only then did Han Tiansheng come back to his senses. He was indeed in a daze just now. Perhaps it was caused by a wisp of the original Han Tiansheng's remnant soul, which made Han Tiansheng feel a little sad.
Turning around abruptly, Han Tiansheng had already collected his emotions. He faced Niu Tiezhu, Long Wenzhang, Zhou Weiguo, Sun Desheng, and the others in high spirits and said sternly,""Company Commander Niu, immediately prepare a report to the command center and our countrymen. Tell them that our Tiger Regiment has been engaged in a fierce battle for two hours.
They had completely annihilated the Japanese army in Jinan and successfully recovered Jinan City!”
"Chief of Staff Long, immediately release a notice to pacify the people. Tell the villagers in Jinan that our Shandong army has returned!
"In addition, in order to recover the entire Shandong and save my Shandong elders from fire and water, the Tiger Legion urgently needs new recruits to expand its ranks. I hope that the children of my Quancheng will enthusiastically sign up to join the army and fight side by side with me to recover lost territory and protect my hometown!”
"The first group is responsible for the city defense and security patrols in the city to maintain order! Armored Battalion, 2nd and 3rd Regiment, find a suitable camp to rest and recover!
Sun Desheng, you lead the cavalry reconnaissance unit out of the city to maintain vigilance and ensure safety!”
"Yes, sir!" Niu Tiezhu, Long Wenzhang, Zhou Weiguo, and Sun Desheng all agreed in unison. After saluting Han Tiansheng, they turned around and went their separate ways.
……
At the command center in Wu Han.
Generalissimo Jiang, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by hurried footsteps and knocking on the door.
At this time, no one else dared to address the Generalissimo Jiang as such, except for the adjutant Wang Shihe.
Moreover, there must be something important, or else Wang Shihe would never have come to disturb the Generalissimo's beautiful dream at this time.
Therefore, the chairman was not angry. Instead, with the help of his wife, he put on his clothes and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
When he came out of the door, he said to Wang Shihe, who was waiting in the corridor outside the door,""Shihe, it's already so late. Could it be that there's an emergency?”
Wang Shihe could not hide his excitement. What a great victory!"
"Hmm?" Chairman Jiang was a little surprised."Where did the victory come from? Could it be Han Tiansheng's Tiger Troop again?”
Wang Shihe nodded repeatedly." That's right, it's Han Tiansheng. We just received news that Han Tiansheng led his troops to attack Jinan at night. After two hours of fierce fighting, he wiped out more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers in Jinan and successfully recaptured Jinan from the Japanese!”
"What?" Chairman Jiang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. He looked at Wang Shihe in shock and said,""Han Tiansheng recovered Jinan?"
"Yes, I am!" Wang Shihe nodded excitedly and said,""However, Han Tiansheng's Tiger Troop has already expanded into the Tiger Regiment!”
Chairman Jiang was so excited that his hands were trembling. He nodded repeatedly and said,"That's great, that's great!
If Jinan was recaptured, the Japanese army that attacked Xuzhou would be cut off. The siege of Xuzhou should be able to be resolved without fighting! The entire battle of Xu Prefecture will be a great opportunity for our army to take the initiative!
This Han Tiansheng can actually create miracles continuously. It's really the fortune of China!”
"That's right, Commissioner! Han Tiansheng has brought us too many surprises!”Wang Shihe nodded in agreement.
Generalissimo Jiang suddenly turned around and ordered,""Immediately inform Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and the others to come over for a meeting. We will discuss the situation in Xu Prefecture so that we can adjust our deployment and deal with the upcoming battlefield situation!”
"Then what about Han Tiansheng's troops?”Wang Shihe asked.
"Let them defend Jinan first. No matter what, they have to defend it! Because Jinan is in our hands, not only can we cut off the contact between the Japanese army and North China, but it can also bring extremely favorable political influence.
"Therefore, Jinan is extremely important to us militarily and politics. We can't lose it no matter what, at least not now!”
After a moment of silence, Generalissimo Jiang said,"As for the reward, let's talk about it after the meeting. Tell Han Tiansheng that the party and country will not treat him badly!”
"Yes, sir!" Wang Shihe immediately saluted and left happily.
……
Beiping, Japanese invaders, North China Front Army Headquarters.
The two old devils, the commander of the North China Front Army, Shouichi Terauchi, and the Chief of Staff, Okabe Naosaburo, were also woken up by the adjutants.
When they learned that Jinan had been taken back by Han Tiansheng, the two old devils were no longer sleepy. They quickly came to their headquarters to discuss countermeasures.
"General, if Jinan is lost, the 5th and 14th divisions will have their communications cut off from our forces in North China.
Most importantly, the large amount of military supplies we had accumulated in Tsinan had also fallen into the hands of the Zhina Army.
If they didn't take back Jinan as soon as possible and open up the logistics supply line, the 5th and 14th divisions would soon be in danger of running out of ammunition and food.
At that time, not to mention attacking Xu Prefecture, it would be a problem if they could even protect themselves!”In the conference room, Okabe Naosaburo stood in front of the battle map and pointed at the map to analyze the pros and cons.
