But now facing the terrifying Gao Kyu, Kokmura feels deeply powerless. Although he thinks from the bottom of his heart that Yoshihiro Hamada's opinion is a manifestation of shirking responsibility, he really has no choice now. Although he feels very humiliated, he finally adopted Yoshihiro Hamada's opinion and sent a telegram asking the Central China Front Army to send troops from Xuzhou to assist Tai'an City.

Doihara is also very depressed now. This time Gao Jiu sent troops to attack Tai'an City, which was largely due to his wealth. If he did not assassinate Gao Jiu, he would probably not have the energy to launch such a large-scale battle.

Tu Feiyuan also felt powerless. After receiving the telegram from Gang Village, he replied, scolded them, and asked them to send troops to reinforce Tai'an.

At the same time, he also adopted the suggestion of the commander of the Hong Kong Village and sent a telegram to the Central China Front Army, asking them to send troops to Tai'an City.

The Central China Front Army is not having a good time now, and their troops have begun to shrink to the southeast. Faced with the attacks from the Guo Army and the underground party, they have already put on a defensive posture and are not willing to launch a major battle at all.

When they heard that they were going to send troops to reinforce Tai'an City and go directly to fight Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain guerrillas, they refused without hesitation. As for the excuses, they were mostly unwilling to send troops to Shandong to provoke Gao Jiu's demon.

The Japanese army in Tai'an City has completely fallen into an isolated and helpless situation. Whether they can survive depends on whether they can defend Tai'an City.

The troops of the Lunan Military Region suffered heavy casualties in the last Tai'an Battle, and the morale of the troops was greatly affected. Later, a large number of new recruits were added, and finally recovered their vitality, but their combat effectiveness could not be improved for a while.

After this stage of battle, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly restored and their combat experience was also improved. The head of the underground party, Gao Hong and others also hoped to use this Tai'an Battle to train the troops and further enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

At the same time, they wanted to use this battle to test these security forces that had just joined the Lunan Military Region. Therefore, they decided to attack Tai'an City forcibly. Even if the troops would suffer great losses, they would accumulate experience in attacking tough battles and cultivate a large number of combat backbones. They hoped to lay the foundation for the future attack on Jinan City through this practical training.

After discussion, the troops of the Lunan Military Region sent some troops to build a cordon in the direction of Jinan and Xuzhou. They organized two battle groups to attack from the east and west sides of Tai'an City.

The Battle of Tai'an also had a great impact on the Japanese army. As the highest commander of the Japanese army in Shandong, General Haneda was criticized by his superiors and removed him from his post and kept him for inspection. The commander of the North China Front Army and Yoshiji Hamada were also forced to conduct a written review of his superiors.

After the Tai'an Battle, Zhang Quan wanted to go back to his hometown to have a look, so he took his sister, brother-in-law and a squadron's special forces to fly to LY County by helicopter.

Zhang Quan and his sister and brother-in-law came to LY County this time, driven by the homesickness complex, and wanted to come back and take a look. After all, living in the distant Golden Triangle in the future, it is not easy to return to their hometown. Since he did not come with a combat mission this time, he did not want a big battle.

The surrendered security forces saw that the Japanese army could not support it anymore, and their confidence also increased. It has to be said that the security forces trained by the Japanese army still have strong combat effectiveness. Now they are eager to show themselves, so the attacks on the Japanese army are also very fierce.

When he flew over LY with an air commando, he saw many Japanese and puppet troops in the city. He just idled around the county town, looked down at his ancestral home from the air, and prepared to leave.

Gao Jiu, the head of the underground party, Gao Hong and others discussed and believed that if the Japanese army in the city could surrender, it would be a good example for the disintegration of other Japanese troops. Therefore, they agreed to accept the Japanese army's surrender.

After many attacks, most of the walls of Tai'an City were blown up, and the defense of the Japanese army became increasingly difficult. The troops of the Lunan Military Region took the opportunity to launch attacks, and the Japanese army's city defense was shaking.

After two days of street fighting, only more than 10,000 Japanese troops were left in the city, and they were compressed into a small area.

The Japanese army could not get a rest at all and would face the enemy's fierce attack at any time. The officers and soldiers were very tired and could hardly hold on in their spirits.

The remaining Japanese officers and soldiers are now out of their fighting spirit. After discussion, they decided to surrender to preserve the lives of the remaining Japanese army.

After all, Yoshihiro Hamada knew Gao Jiu, and he had a good analysis. In this battle, the Taohuashan guerrillas suffered more than 200 casualties. The consumption of ammunition and oil can be described as astronomical figures. The Taohuashan guerrillas could no longer carry out large-scale battles in a short period of time, so they turned to rest.

Now the troops of the Lunan Military Region have also been equipped with a large number of rocket launchers and 82mm recoilless cannons, which can play a huge advantage in street combat.

The last time Zhang Quan returned to LY County and found his sister, LY County was controlled by troops from the Lunan Military Region and has now been re-occupied by the Japanese army.

The troops of the Lunan Military Region took the opportunity to rush up. The Japanese army could not resist such a fierce attack. They were forced to give up their city defense and retreat into the city to engage in street fighting with the troops of the Lunan Military Region.

Soon after, the commander of the 142nd Division of the Japanese Army led the remaining 5,317 Japanese troops to surrender to the coalition forces.

The head of the underground party, Gao Hong and others were very excited. This time they gained a lot. They not only trained the troops, but also recaptured Tai'an City.

Seeing that the troops suffered a lot of losses, the head of the underground party and Gao Hong came to Gao Jiu, hoping that he would come forward to persuade the surrounded Japanese army to surrender, thereby reducing the losses of the troops.

On the third day after Hirota took office, he flew to the North China Front Command.

Doi Yuyuan stepped down, and he was replaced by Hiroda Yoshihirota, the former deputy chief of the Japanese Army. He was also a representative of a young and powerful officer. He had been staring at this position for a long time.

The Japanese army's resistance was very tenacious. The troops of the Shandong Military Region launched several attacks, but they failed, but they lost a lot of people. However, this time they had enough troops and continued to attack the Japanese army.

The one who was most affected was Tu Feiyuan. Many people in the base camp disliked him. He did not win in the battle with Gao Jiu, and his ability had long been questioned by the base camp. This time the failure of the Tai'an Battle became the last straw that crushed him. On the second day after the end of the Tai'an Battle, Tu Feiyuan was asked to resign and be responsible for the failure of this battle.

The North China Front Army Command immediately issued a notice, requiring General Haneda, the commander of the 12th Army stationed in Shandong to attend the combat meeting in Peiping City and jointly formulate a battle plan to recapture Tai'an City.

He was physically and mentally exhausted and had already developed the intention to retire. Therefore, he did not make too much excuse for the base camp to resign and submitted his resignation. Not only that, he applied for retirement directly.

The commander of the 142nd Japanese Division

They were very wronged. There were obviously a large number of Japanese troops in Jinan City and Xuzhou, but they refused to save them and watched them die.

As most of the city walls were destroyed, the troops of the Shandong Military Region launched a fierce attack.

Now on the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese army has retreated step by step and suffered heavy losses, especially the Japanese navy has almost completely lost its combat effectiveness, so the Japanese navy's maritime transportation has been almost completely interrupted. The strategic resources plundered by the Japanese army in Southeast Asia and domestic battlefields can only rely on land transportation. Most of the Japanese army is now scattered in the eastern coastal areas, and the most important land transportation depends on the Jinpu Railway.

Because the Japanese army's forces were relatively concentrated at this time, their resistance became increasingly tenacious. The offensive of the coalition forces was progressing slowly.

Seeing that the Anti-Japanese War was about to end, Gao Jiu did not want his Taohuashan guerrillas to have too many casualties. He did not intend to send Taohuashan guerrillas to directly participate in the siege, but was responsible for providing firepower support to the troops of the Shandong Military Region.

This time, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas dispatched a large number of armed helicopters, hovering directly above the Japanese position.

After the battle began, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas bombarded the walls of Tai'an City with powerful artillery fire.

They raised the white flag and asked to send representatives to negotiate with the coalition forces.

As the Japanese army shrinks its troops to the east, the Japanese army in this area is relatively dense. Originally, there was only a military police force of dozens of people from the Japanese army in the county town. Now, not only is the Japanese military police force and the security army brigade, but also a infantry squadron and a battalion of puppet security forces stationed.

The first thing Hirota Yoshiichi took office was that he was asked by the base to open up the Jinpu Railway and take down Tai'an City. Therefore, Hirota Yoshi planned to launch another Tai'an Battle and capture Tai'an City.

Two days later, the Japanese army was surrounded in a narrow area west of the city centered on Tai'an No. 1 Middle School, with a total number of troops less than 5,000.

This is not because he has a lot of confidence to defeat Gao Jiu. The reason why he chose to burn his first fire in Shandong was because of the situation.

Not only that, their ammunition has basically been consumed and they have no ability to continue shooting.

This time they made up their minds to defend Tai'an City and never let him fall into the hands of the Japanese army again.

After 12 days of fierce fighting, the Tai'an Battle was finally over. This battle annihilated more than 62,000 Japanese troops and more than 50,000 puppet troops. It was a brilliant victory and boosted the morale of the national anti-Japanese military and civilians.

In order to enhance the confidence of these puppet troops, Gao Hong also sent some troops to carry rocket launchers and 82mm recoilless guns to provide firepower support to them. The Taohuashan guerrillas also dispatched some armed helicopters to provide air support to them. Therefore, the attack direction of the security army was responsible for has also made great progress.

Facts have proved that Gao Jiu's suggestion is very effective. The troops in the Lunan Military Region are numerous, and officers and soldiers take turns to fight, so they can rest and recuperate at any time, eliminate fatigue and restore combat effectiveness.

After Hirota Yoshihiro took office, he was eager to show his talents. He took office with three fires, and the first fire directly burned to Shandong.

Seeing that he couldn't fight anymore, he had the idea of ​​surrendering to Gao Jiu.

On this day, he received a telegram from Hamada Yoshihiro, the new Japanese Army Minister, said that Hirota Yoshi came to Peiping and had the idea of ​​launching the Tai'an Battle again in Shandong. He would inform Gao Jiu of the Japanese army at any time.

The situation of the entire Japanese army was clearly seen. He knew that the Japanese army would not last long. He now admitted from the bottom of his heart that he was definitely not Gao Jiu's opponent, and he didn't want to continue fighting.

The head of the underground party and Gao Hong and others thought that Gao Jiu had made sense, so they divided the troops into three echelons and organized the troops of those county brigades into them. This is to give them the opportunity to participate in the attacking battle, train the troops, increase the troops' attacking battle experience, and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

In order to cooperate with the troops of the Lunan Military Region, the members of the Taohuashan Guerrillas pushed a large number of artillery to a place only 200 meters away from the city wall. Every time before the troops of the Lunan Military Region launched an attack, they carried out a fierce artillery fire strike.

The Japanese firepower points were destroyed one by one, and their defense circles were shrinking, and they were eventually compressed to the central and western regions.

As the Japanese army retreats step by step, in the future, the troops of the Shandong Military Region will face many tough battles. It is best not to let go of such a good training opportunity.

It is recommended to divide the troops participating in the besieging Japanese troops into several batches, adopt the method of rotating warfare, and continuously launch attacks on the Japanese troops. Each unit can be trained in actual combat and can also take turns to get a chance to rest.

Gao Jiu informed the troops of the Shandong Military Region about this news, asking them to strengthen their combat readiness and be ready to repel the Japanese attack at any time.

After the Battle of Tai'an, Gao Jiu returned to Zhengzhou City. While accompanying Ai Jiabao to travel around the mountains and rivers, he also paid attention to the movements of the Japanese army in Shandong.

The troops of the Lunan Military Region organized dozens of attacks for three consecutive days. Although their troops suffered heavy casualties, the Japanese army suffered considerable casualties. At noon on the fourth day, 15 main regiments of the Lunan Military Region carried out a general attack on Tai'an City under the cover of artillery fire of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

Gao Jiu did not advocate that they do this. He believed that the troops in the Shandong Military Region were huge, which was an excellent opportunity to train troops.

When the air commando appeared over the county town, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city were panicked and they instinctively shot into the sky.

Since Zhang Quan and others wanted to see their old house clearly, the helicopter flew by very slowly, so a small number of bullets hit the helicopter. The bullets jingled on the armor under the helicopter and did not cause any damage to the helicopter.

The special forces members did not fight back against the Japanese army, because the Japanese and puppet troops were all in the county town. If the special forces members fought back, they would easily hurt the residents in the city by mistake. If the helicopters were not lost, the special forces members would not pay attention to them.

Zhang Quan flew past his ancestral home, watched for a while, and then prepared to fly away.
